Chapter 12:

Thoughts of Cybernetic had flown threw each one of my brothers heads. Leo, Mikey, and I had just come back from yet another unneeded and useless patrol. We had done three that night to see if we could spot anything or anyone that would have something to do with those black suited freaks. Donny had been working on the internet for hours trying to find something, but nothing had turned up for either of our groups.

We had just gotten home and Leo was about to force us to take a fifteen minute break and get back to it, when Master Splinter saved us.

"Boys, I think there is only so much that one can d. You have all hit your limits. I do not want you worrying about Cybernetic any more tonight. Go and rest and your minds will be refreshed by tomorrow." We all went our separate ways and I entered the living room.

Sarra sat on the couch watching Phineas and Ferb, laughing at the platypus, and eating pizza. I had never really liked the show. Light and funny really wasn't my thing. However, Donny was showing Mikey a new camera and Leo was meditating with Master Splinter. There was no way I was walking with in one hundred feet of Mikey with a new camera or Leo practicing. I was always pulled into some sort of training session when ever that happened. I suddenly decided the TV show wasn't so bad and sunk into the couch cushions.

I sat on the far end of the sofa with my arm across the back, and Sarra sat on the other end with her knees pulled up. We watched to the end of the show and Sarra got up to put on another episode. I suddenly felt panic.

"No, no, Sarra. Let's watch something else." She shrugged and I hurried to my feet and picked up the first 'me' movie I could find. I held it up to Sarra. "How about this one?"

She stared at the title turned white and started to shake. I looked at the case to see what was wrong. "Jack the Assassin" was the name of it and I mentally kicked myself before throwing the movie who knows where.

"Maybe not that one. Would you like to pick one out?" I asked her trying to get her mind off of the name.

"Sure." She said and grabbed one of the Cinderella movies. It was my turn to turn pale and shake.

"I'm not watching that." I said. "How about "Revenge of the Mutant Rhino Beatles 2" we didn't see that one after the first a few days ago." She nodded her approval and we started searching for the movie.

It didn't take long before we found it and I put it in before returning to the couch. Only then did I realize that Sarra had moved closer inward to the center of the couch. I could smell her pomegranate sent perfume and I leaned in her direction a bit more. It smelled nice.

The movie began. I watched the main characters emerge from a jungle area into an almost deserted village. I started to get into it when I noticed Sarra scooting unconsciously towards me. I didn't move my head. I was afraid that I would bring her out of the movie and she would stop moving. She stopped about a foot and a half away from me and I looked down to see why.

Her sea green eyes were laughing as she apologized to that darn elephant she had nearly run over. I started wondering why I had bought her such a large stuffed animal. I could have gotten her that rat plushy that resembled Master Splinter or that elephant key chain. I sure she would have loved an apology elephant key chain! That would have been less likely to get in the way.

I started scooting closer to her trying to close most of the gap that stood between Sarra, pizza in hand, and me, my arm around the back of the couch. All that was left between us now was the few inches that Prince Ebenezer Bly took up. I breathed in her perfume and started to relax into the movie again.

I could tell Sarra was starting to get bored. She never got through long movies very well. She started staring at me instead, leaning into my shoulder a little. Her position seemed a little awkward with big old Ebenezer sitting smack dab between us. She was trying her best not to squish him as she stared at me.

I had to admit it was a little uncomfortable. However, it wasn't without its good side. I looked down to her to see her beautiful eyes staring at me a few inches from my face. I smiled slightly and turned back to the movie.

The Rhino Beetles had now shown themselves to the characters. My concentration didn't stay with the horrified people on the screen though, as Sarra began slowly inching her hand up to my mask. I watched her out of the corner of my eye. I didn't do anything as most of me hoped that she would lose interest and give up. Some of me wanted to let her know what stayed behind the red mask I always had around my eyes. Most of me knew that Master Splinter would be furious if I let her take it off. Some of me didn't care.

She started lifting up my mask and part of me was disappointed when I swatted her hand away. "No." I said firmly.

Her hand went limp and she pouted deeply, searching for my eyes, forcing me to make eye contact with her. "But why?" She asked with puppy dog eyes.

Her eyes seemed to burn into my soul as she pouted and I felt my resolve dissolve into nothing.

"Fine, but if Master Splinter sees me without my mask on I will be doing flips for a week. You can have a quick look and then you can't bother me about it again." I grabbed her hand and pulled it up towards my mask.

I wasn't quite sure why I was guiding her small soft fingers to my mask. She wasn't blind and could see it quite well, but she didn't seem to notice as she pulled my mask up and stared into my amber eyes with a soft genuine smile playing across her lips. Her head was tilted down and the light of the TV glowed across her face. Her hair was tucked behind her ear and I suddenly felt as if I was chocking.

Maybe, her perfume was too much, but it hadn't been a second ago. Whatever I had just breathed in caught my breath in my lungs. I moved Ebenezer as I closed the gap between us. I put a finger under her chin and tilted it up towards me. Her checks had started to turn red, and I started to wonder if what ever happened to me had happened to her too.

She looked at me curiously and then seemed to understand my body's intentions even if I didn't. She closed her eyes as I pulled her into a kiss.
