~Sarah's POV~
There have been no sleepwalking incidences for the past few days. My mom has scheduled some appointments with her therapist for the next few weeks just incase it has something to do with her childhood or something. Meanwhile I have been hanging out with Leonardo every night in my room. It's nice but during the day, it gets lonely. I wish I could hang out with Leo more, I would have something to look forward to after school or work but I'm is afraid he would say no and thinks I'm being pushy. I see him climbing up the tree carrying a bag. I take a deep breath because I was really nervous about asking him. I open the window and he climbed inside. "Hi Leo, what do you have there?" "Hey Sarah, I brought some pizza gyoza and some apples." "I already had dinner but I'll take an apple." But instead of giving me an apple, he gave me the bag. "All of it is for you. I know your mom has been busy so I thought I help." It was very sweet of him for thinking about me. "Thank you." I said as I took the bag. "Your welcome." He took a look at the painting of him in the tree. "Wow, you really have a talent Sarah." "Thanks, that's one of three paintings I did, you can take that one." He looked at me wide eyed and surprised. "Really?" "Yeah." "Thanks!" Leo said with a smile and grabbed the painting. He looked at the clock and pouted. "Awe man, it's getting late, I gotta go. Sorry." "It's okay Leo, I understand." I watch him leave but before he stepped out I asked him, "Leo, would it be cool if...I hang out with you...at you place sometime?" It took me a lot of courage to ask him, but I am a little scared about his response. "Funny thing you should ask that, I was gonna ask you the same thing. I have been talking to Sensei about it and he says it's okay. Is tomorrow afternoon good?" I couldn't believe what he said, inside I was thrilled, but I calmed down and said, "Sounds good." "Great, here's my number, I'll text you tomorrow." He said with a smile as he wrote it down on paper and gave it to me. Leo took off after saying goodbye. As soon he was out of sight I jumped around squealing with joy.
~End Sarah's POV~
The next day, after Sarah was finished with school, she waited by the antique store according to the text Leo sent. She wonders how Leo is going to meet her in broad daylight. Suddenly a red headed girl with blue eyes and wearing indie clothes walked up to her. "Sarah?" "Um...yeah. How did you know my name?" "I'm a friend of the turtles. I'm April." "Sarah." She introduced herself in a proper way but felt slightly uncomfortable. Leo did tell her about April, he didn't tell her what she looked like. But Sarah had nothing to be jealous about because she was told Donnie has a crush on April so that did make her feel a little but better. April lead Sarah to the manhole that will lead them to the lair. They both climbed down the manhole and walked through a few tunnels they reached what looked like an abandoned subway station. April and Sarah walked through the turn tables and Sarah was blown away by the architecture and the interior design. Then she sees Leo's brothers; Donatello was on a homemade laptop, Michelangelo making making in the kitchen, and Raphael punching on a dummy. They see her with April. Michelangelo ran up to her with a dish he made. "Hi April. Hey Sarah, long time no see. Care to try my pizza noodle soup?" He asked as Michelangelo held up a bowl of soup in front of her. "Um...thanks Mikey it smells good but I'm still full from lunch." Sarah said in a polite way. "No prob, there's plenty more where this came from." He said as the joyful orange masked turtle walked back into the kitchen. "Good move." Raph commented. April sat next to Donatello, helping him with his research.
Sarah felt something looming over her. She looked up and gawked at the tall brown rat humanoid wearing a kimono. "You must be Sarah." She snapped out of it when he spoke. "Y...yeah, hi." Leonardo showed up. "Hey Sarah, this is Master Splinter. Invisa versa." "Please make yourself at home." Master Splinter said and bowed to her. Sarah bowed to him. "Thanks Master Splinter." He walked back to his room to meditate. "So...do you like Space Heroes?"
A moment later, Leonardo and Sarah were hanging out watching Space Heroes. Even though she wasn't a big Space Heroes fan, she likes being with him. Leo feels like he's on top of the world. This was perfect. Mikey comes up and calls out, "Hey Sarah, ya hungry?" Leo smiles at Sarah and whispers, "It's not bad." "Okay, I'll give it a try." "I'll get you a bowl." He smiled and got up to get her some soup. She suddenly noticed Raph feeding his pet turtle. Sarah pulled out her sketchbook and pencil from her backpack and starts drawing. Raph sees her and asked, "What are you doing?" "Sketching." "Okay...why?" "I draw what catches my eye." "Really? Well I am honored." The red masked turtle smirks. Leonardo comes back with a bowl of pizza noodle soup. Sarah puts her sketchbook away and takes the bowl from him. She tastes it and smiles. "Not bad."
During the afternoon she drew sketches of everyone except Master Splinter who was still meditating. For the first time in Sarah's life, she felt truly happy. But all good things must come to an end, her cell phone rang, it was a text message from her mom. She sighed and said, "My mom came home early and wants me home ASAP." "Awe! Can't you stay just a little longer?" Mikey whined, when Raph swatted him on the head with one of his comics. "I wish I could, but I can't. Bye guys." "Bye Sarah." Everyone said. She gathered her things and was about to leave when Leo said, "I'll walk you out."
He escorted her all the way to a manhole near Sarah's house. They both climbed up and Leo uncovered the manhole. She climbed out without anyone seeing her. Sarah looked down at him, sticking half of his body out of the manhole. "Thanks Leo." "Your welcome." There was a moment of awkward silence when Leo spoke up. "Hey Sarah? I was thinking...maybe...sometime tomorrow or after we crack this case we...I mean you and I could possibly...would you like to...go out with me?" "Yeah, definitely." "I understand if you can't...wait really?" He said sounding a bit surprised. Sarah nodded. "Great, I'll text you tomorrow." "Cool." "Night Sarah." Night Leo." But before she left Sarah quickly kneeled down, kissed him on the cheek, and tools to her house. She quietly entered. Leo blushed and smiled a little.
