A/N:

I must say. I do like this chapter a lot. It is a little cliche, but I like it. I have songs for every couple. I just feel that when it comes to these kinds of emotions, music is the best way to handle it. That's why these are in a songfic manner.

The song for Mimi and Raphael:

Catch Your Wave by The Click Five

The chorus fit perfectly. There are some verses that don't quite mix, but then there are some that really do fit. I'm so excited!

I have found songs for Don and Joanne, and Mikey and Maureen. I like that...Mikey and Maureen.

Disclaimer: I own this plot, even if it isn't that orginal, I own Mimi, Maureen, Joanne, and Angel. I don't own anyone else though... :

ENJOY!!

"Two coffees please." Mimi said, to the bored clerk.

She paid with the little money she had 'borrowed' from her brother. A few minutes later, she was exiting the small café, and turning into the dark alleyway. Raphael leaned against the café wall next to a dumpster. Mimi smiled at him, holding up the coffees. He picked her up, and jumped up the fire escape of the apartment building next to the café.

"Ouch." Mimi said, as some coffee spilled and burned her hand. Raphael mumbled something like an apology, and set her down when they reached the roof. Mimi handed him his coffee, and they sat down on the edge of the building. Mimi sighed as she looked up at the sky. Raphael looked over at her, the wind blew, making her hair flow a little.

In the middle of the night
That's when you caught my eye
I chased you round in memories
Through the breeze and the trees and you tease me
But hey,

There was a long silence. As usual. The awkwardness between their silences had faded quite a lot, because of the fact that they were usually silent when they were together. The wind blew again. Mimi tried to rub away the goose bumps on her arm. Raph, was still watching her. He did that a lot, and Mimi knew it. She would never tell him that though. She smiled in spite of her self.

"Somethin' funny?" He asked.

"Nope." She replied. "How long have we been friends?" He shrugged in response, she thought about it. "Almost two months. I think."

"Flew by fast." Raph replied, she nodded. She faced him and smiled a bit, squinting because of her black eye. Raph felt a pang of guilt.

After all it was him who looked at her notebook, which she cared about so much. He had lost his temper and caused a fight with her. He had caused her to leave the lair. It must've shown on his face, because her smile turned into a concerned frown.

"What's up?" She asked.

The clock's turning around
And you're still playing these games
It's such a waste to bring me down, down, down
Don't bring me down cause

Raphael had a lot of things to say to that. He had an apology for getting her beat up, he had an appraisal for sticking up to Angel. He had a thanks for defending him and his brothers. He also had a confession. Something about her words tonight made him, if possible, more crazy about her. So many things he wanted to say, but words weren't his best subject.

"Raph?" She urged.

"I-" He began, staring into those big, cloudy, blue gray eyes.

Hey girl, I wanna catch your wave
Hey girl, I wanna drift away with you
Hey girl, you've got an undertow
Hey girl, hey girl, don't wanna let you go

Mimi stared at him expectantly. His chocolate brown eyes were staring straight into her own eyes. She wasn't going to lie, she loved it when he stared at her. Which was weird, because she never cared if Liam had ever looked at her. Well, she never cared if Liam did a lot of things. She did care when Raph did the same things. Which was weird. Mimi hadn't felt anything like this since she turned sixteen.

When I turned sixteen
That's when I started to dream
I chased you round in memories
Through the breeze and the trees and you tease me
But hey,

"It's okay." Mimi chuckled, "I know talking isn't your favorite thing to do."

"Well," He said, "It's...sorta...I-" Now he sounded like a bumbling idiot, he sighed, "It's important."

She raised her eyes brows, "Okay." She said.

Raph knew what he wanted to say, but couldn't get it out, so instead said, "Thanks."

"Your welcome?" She said, sipping her coffee.

"I meant about tonight, with Angel an' them..." He said, she stiffened and stared at the midnight blue sky, " Ya' just...I dunno...ya' blew me away." Raph knew she was giving him a confused stare, "Didn't never think I'd see the day when some body fought for us...for what we really need, ya' know?" Raph was really uncomfortable, talking was really not his thing. Not to mention that he was talking to a beautiful girl, and it was a generally romantic setting. He scratched his head a little.

"I'll fight for you, any day Raph." She said, taking his hand from his head.

He stared at their hands. They were cupped, he squeezed her hand lightly. Trying to see if it was really there in his. He felt a surge of hope, when he looked up at her. Maybe a teenage girl could fall for a turtle, like him.

Well every princess has her knight
And I'm still in it for the fight
Not givin' in, I'm gonna win, win, win
I'm gonna win cause
,

Mimi felt a jolt in her skin as she touched his, reptilian skin. She had goose bumps now, and sipped her coffee. She found her self thinking, 'He has to know...He read my note book...' She was sure that he knew how she felt about him. So why hadn't he done anything? Didn't he feel the same? She sipped her coffee again, swallowing hard.

"Mimi, I-" Raphael said, she turned to look at him. He was caught again in her eyes, forgetting that he was speaking a moment ago.

"Yeah, Raph?" She asked.

Raphael opened his mouth, but nothing came out. Why couldn't he say it? Why couldn't he just tell her about how he felt? Why wouldn't his vocal cords work? He just wanted to tell her, he just wanted her to know. If only she were a mind reader.

'That'll be the day.' He thought. 'Just say you dummy! Hey, girl...I think I'm fallin' for ya! It's simple!'

Hey girl, I wanna catch your wave
Hey girl, I wanna drift away with you
Hey girl, you've got an undertow
Hey girl, hey girl don't wanna let you go

"Raph, I know you ain't good with words an' all..." Mimi began with a chuckle, "But you can't keep starting sentences and not finishing them."

"Yeah, sorry." He chuckled, a little. There was a long pause, she was staring at the sky.

"It's a shame you can't see any stars." She said, he looked up. He agreed silently, then scolded him self, forcing him self ro speak,

"Yeah, it is." He said. That's all? That's all he could say? He sighed, and she looked to him for about the fiftieth time that night.

"Honestly, Raph." She said, squeezing his hand, still clasped in hers. "You okay?"

"I'm trying' so hard to say it...ya' know?" He said, quietly.

"I know." She smiled. She shivered, as a particularly strong gust of wind hit her.

Mimi rubbed her knees that were exposed by the wholes in her jeans. Raph scooted closer to her, and she scooted closer to him. Raph hesitantly wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer to him. She leaned into him, and touched the arm that he held by his side. He moved that arm to grab onto hers.

I'm never gonna let you go...

Mimi's heart was pounding in her throat, and she was blushing madly. She was sure that if Raph wasn't there to hold her hands she would be shaking. Raphael was surprisingly calm. She looked up at him, and he looked down at her. Silence ensued, once again. Mimi was going crazy on the inside. She wanted to scream all the things she's wanted to say for so long. Raph was having the same problem. Neither opened their mouths, afraid that they'd just begin shouting their still blossoming 'love' for each other.

Hey girl, I wanna catch your wave
Hey girl, I wanna drift away with you
Hey girl, you've got an undertow
Hey girl, hey girl, don't wanna let you

"Raph..." Mimi said quietly, "You read my notebook..."

"I know." He said, just as quietly.

"So, you must know...you have to know that..." She started, he just stared at her. "You don't know...Do you?"

"I don't know what?" Raph frowned.

"Nothing...it's nothing.." She said.

"Oh no." He said, making her sit up straight and face him, "Ya' can't leave me in...suspense...like that..." He said, a little annoyed.

"A taste of your own medicine." Mimi replied, and laughed a little. "I wish it was easier for us to talk...Well, it's easy to talk," She stumbled, "But you know...express..." She smacked her head, that was lame. Then she just began rambling. What happened next, Mimi was not expecting.

Hey girl, I wanna catch your wave
Hey girl, I wanna drift away with you
Hey girl, you've got an undertow
Hey girl, hey girl, don't wanna let you
Hey girl, hey girl don't wanna let you go

Raphael stared at her as Mimi stumbled with her words. Trying to tell him that she wanted to 'express' and 'enlighten' each other. On what she didn't specify. Raph just watched her, like he always did. No, it wasn't like he always did. He always watched her silently, distant so she might not notice, unmoving so he wouldn't scare her away. No this wasn't like he always did. She was close, close enough to hold and to...to kiss. So he began to move.

"Mimi." He said, almost irately. She stopped at his tone and her head snapped in his direction. Then everything was slow motion for Mimi.

Raphael put a hand on her cheek, then moved it through her hair. The other hand lightly grabbed the side of her neck. Slowly forward. Much too slowly. She closed her eyes, so close yet so far away. Raph watched as she closed her eyes, waiting eagerly. He smiled, and she shivered. They were close enough now, so she could feel his light breath on her. Raphael moved his lips to one of her eye lids, pressing them lightly. She gasped, and bit her lip as he gently kissed her other eye lid.

Raphael moved so slowly towards her lips. Wanting to savor every millisecond of this moment. Every breath, every gasp, every movement. All of it. He wanted it to last. He was so close to her lips, and she knew. Mimi was sure she was going to die if he kissed her, but at least she'd die happy. Then Raphael did something she did not expect. He spoke.

"I may not be able to say it..." He said, quietly. "But maybe I can show you."

These were unnecessary words. He said them any way. He wanted her to really know that he was going to try and tell her everything. Mimi was growing even more anxious and nervous. She nodded, and he smiled. If she hadn't lost the ability to speak, he imagined she'd say something like, 'That's sweet...Now SHUT UP AND KISS ME!' He laughed. Mimi opened her eyes and opened her mouth to snap at him, her words never left her mouth.

Raphael moved, pressing his lips on hers. They were soft, and warm. She grabbed the side of his face, kissing back. Every word they couldn't say, every feeling they couldn't express. Was in fact, expressed and said in this kiss. Raphael told her that he had wanted to kiss her for a very long time, and Mimi said the same. Raphael told her that he didn't care what his brother's said, Mimi told hm that the girls' reactions were the last thing she cared about. Raphael told her he was so happy that she didn't care that he was very different than any other guy she'd been interested in. Mimi told him she didn't care he was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

I'll never let you go
Alright
.

Raphael told Mimi he'd never let her go.

Mimi told Raphael she was alright with that.
