"What should I do for Casey's Stag night?" Raph asked a couple of days later. All four brothers were in the living area. Raph had a notepad placed on his knee and a pen in between his teeth.
"Night clubbing?" Donnie offered.
"Nah, not original enough" Raph said.
"Stripper?" Mikey smiled. Donnie and Leo frowned.
"But what about April?" Donnie asked. Raph grinned.
"That's the beauty of it, nothing that happens on that night means a thing"
"Yeh, but still" Leo said.
"Don't worry, guys, its harmless fun" Mikey laughed.
"And it's going on the list, good idea Mikey" Raph smiled, putting it down on the notepad.
"But it has to be someone good, no one ugly" Mikey said, looking over Raph's shoulder.
"Mikey! You have a girl friend!" Donnie told him, frowning in disbelieve. Mikey shrugged.
"I'm not going to do anything, Don"
"Don't worry, bro, I know where I can get the best strippers in the city" Raph told him, "And they won't try anything either" Mikey laid down on the sofa.
"When is it anyway?" he asked.
"The say before the wedding" Raph told him. Mikey gave him a blank look and said,
"Which is when?" Donnie sighed.
"Mikey, the invitation has been up on the fridge got months now"
"Was I supposed to read it?" Mikey asked, looking up at Donnie. Donnie, Leo and Raph shook their heads.
The next day, Raph was drawing at the dark counter of the Tattoo Palace. A desk lamp was over his head, lighting up his work. A heart was taking form. Vines outlined the edge, with thorns and roses hanging down the branches.
Raph had been thinking of Leo and Crystal and the heart had taken form. it had been two weeks now since Crystal had found out, and Leo hadn't heard a word from her.
Raph finished the picture and looked up at the clock. It was nearly the end of his shift. He heard the door open and close and he looked towards it, lazily.
Crystal was standing there, looking around nervously. Raph at fist felt relieved at the sight if Crystal, but then he felt anger at what Crystal had done. Crystal smiled at him.
"Hey" she said, quietly. Raph stood up.
"I didn't think you were the one to get a tattoo" he said, slightly angrily. Crystal bowed her head.
"I didn't know where Donnie or Mikey worked, so I had to come here" she explained. Raph laughed, slightly. Of course Crystal would rather go to Donnie and Mikey for what ever she was here for. Raph was a bit too aggressive for the quiet girl.
"So, what will it be? A skull? A love heart?" he laughed, looking down at his picture, "Steve does a great dolphin, he could do it on you bu…"
"I don't know the way" Crystal suddenly shouted. Raph looked at her. She glared right back and the spun around, heading for the door. Raph caught her hand.
"The way to where?" he asked, quietly.
"To…to what ever you call a home" Crystal said. Raph's eyes grew wide and Crystal looked at him.
"Will you show me the way?"
Raph showed Crystal the way without a word. When they got to the lair, Mikey and Donnie looked up in surprise. Raph put a finger to his lips and quietly showed Crystal where Leo's bedroom was. The door was closed.
Crystal shut her eyes and knocked. Raph backed away and joined his brothers in the living area.
"What's she doing here?" Mikey whispered as Crystal disappeared into Leo's room. Raph shrugged and watched Leo's room.
The three brothers stayed silent, trying to listen to the words being said in the bedroom. But all they could hear was a soft buzz of speech coming through the wooden door.
After half an hour, Mikey got bored and went off to skate board. Donnie went off to his lad and Raph started to attack the punch bag.
Leo and Crystal came out, several hours later. All brothers were back in the living area, half-asleep with the TV blurring.
"Hey, guys wake up" Leo laughed, jumping down to them.
"I didn't do it!" Mikey yelled, jumping awake. Raph stood up and faced Leo.
"You two got it sorted out?" he asked. Crystal smiled.
"Yes" she said, looking almost embarrassed.
"Where's Sensei?" Leo asked.
"Not again," Mikey sighed, "Dude Crystal doesn't need to faint again"
"Don't worry, I won't" Crystal smiled and took Leo's hand. Donnie show something shine as she moved her hand.
"Is that a…?"Donnie asked, uncertain. Leo grew unnatural red and walked towards Splinter's room. Raph, Donnie and Mikey all looked at each other and then leapt up and followed Crystal and Leo.
"Master Splinter" Leo said, walking into the candle lit room. The rat Master was kneeling on the floor, meditating. When Leo same in, Splinter opened his eyes and smiled,
"Leonardo, my son" he then looked at the nervous Crystal, "And Crystal" she smiled at Splinter.
"Sensei,…erm" Leo said, nervously. Mikey, Raph and Donnie were watching from the door way.
"Sensei, I asked Crystal to marry me" Leo said, kneeling on the floor. Crystal kneeled down as well, taking Leo's hand in her shaking one.
"And what was the reply?" Splinter asked, looking at Crystal with kind eyes. Crystal smiled again.
"I said yes…sir" Splinter stood up and smiled. He walked over to Crystal.
"My child, call me Father" Mikey, Donnie and Raph smiled at each other and Mikey high-fived Donnie.
"Sensei, will you give us your blessing?" Leo asked.
"Leonardo, you always have my blessing" Splinter smiled, taking both Leo and Crystal's hands and gently pulling them up, "Our family is growing" Leo bowed at his father and Crystal followed his actions.
"Come, let us celebrate" Splinter smiled, leading them out.
Leo and Crystal were attacked by Mikey, Donnie and Raph when they got out of the room. They cheered and slapped Leo on the back.
"I guess that means you're going to be our sister-in-law then" Mikey grinned at Crystal.
"Yep" Crystal grinned and leaned over to Leo and kissed him on the lips.
"Not another wedding to plan" Donnie sighed, grinning at the couple.
The next day, Mikey was around Tina's flat. They were both lying on the sofa, watching 'Pirates of the Caribbean, At World's End'. They had had a movie marathon and had watched all of the other Pirates movies.
Mikey had his arms around Tina's waist and Tina was playing with Mikey's fingers slightly, twiddling them up and down to the Jack Sparrow theme tune.
Mikey laughed as Jack dropped his brain on the floor and reached down to the floor for the popcorn. His fingers reached the bottom of an empty bowl.
"Hey! How ate all the popcorn?" Mikey asked, looking down to the floor. Tina laughed.
"Sorry, I didn't realise" she told him.
"Pause Jack" Mikey said, sitting up and grabbing the bowl. He gave Tina a brief kiss before going to the kitchen and filled the bowl to the brim with cinema sweet popcorn. He turned around and Tina was in the doorway, smiling. Mikey went to her and placed his hands on her slim waist.
"You're all the popcorn I'll ever need" he smiled, before gently kissing her. When they broke apart, Tina grinned and ran a hand through Mikey's ginger hair.
"Come on, Jack's getting bored" Tina smiled and dragged Mikey over to the sofa.
"It's always about Jack" Mikey laughed, "What has he got that I don't?"
"Well…" Tina started, as she leaned into Mikey and nicking the popcorn again.
"On second thought, I don't want to know" Mikey said. Tina laughed, popping a piece of popcorn in her mouth.
Two more chapters left! Tell me what you think, please. I added the scene with Tina and Mikey so you lot won't forget about them. I loved their scene and I would love a boyfriend like Mikey. Don't think it's going to happen though, but I can keep on believing.
Review please, flames welcome, but nothing to cruel.
