Midnight's Pov.

I stood in front of the plane. I was wearing my new uniform and laughing. I was going to be in the army! I turned around and hugged my uncles and my dad. April was crying, " Hey! cheer up Aunt April! I'll be back in a year!" I looked around at my family. One thing was missing, I thought as we took a group photo.

Grandpa wasn't here...

He had said he wouldn't come and see this. I looked down at my black boots. It must be his night mares , i thought. Someone called my name on the roll call. " Here." i called out, i waved goodbye before running into the crowd.

Raphael's Pov

I fought the tears as i watched Midnight disappear into the crowd. I stood there for a good ten minutes after the plane left, starring at an empty lot. Mikey grabbed my shoulder and led me to the shell raiser. When we got home I ignored sensai when he asked how it went. Like all the times i had when i was a teenager I sulked off to my room. I used my old punching bag to blow off some steam. I groaned when it came off the hook, as I bent down to get it i had froze.

The tear mark from when I first got Midnight was still there. I ran my hand along it and couldn't hold it anymore. warm splashes fell off my cheeks. Around half an hour later I came out, only to grab some food and I retracted back to my room.

A/N: oh my gosh! i am so sorry for not updating since last year! I am horrible at this! I probably might update more during the summer but it might be hard. What do you guys think should happen next?
