Chapter 12: Of Notes and Movies
Candy sniffed her hoodie and sighed. It still smelled like Raph. She changed into her outfit. It was a long sleeved white shirt with a blue one over it. Her favorite new pair of jeans and her blue New York knit hat. She loved that April let her get that hat, it had been expensive. April didn't mind because she wanted the girls to have warm, beautiful clothes. April reminded Candy of Sheena. She was kind and caring and looked out for them.
"You're goin' where?" Raphie's voice cut through Candy's thoughts. She exited her room to see Master Splinter with a small pack and a straw hat on his head. This was the hat he wore in the thirteen 'Lost Episodes'.
"Where are you going, Master Splinter?" asked Candy coming up behind Raph.
"I'm going to discuss how to get you home with the Ancient One. I will be gone for a month," answered Master Splinter. At this point, the others had joined them.
"I believe that is wise idea, Father," Leo did a bow with his head.
"Thank-you, Leonardo," said Master Splinter "Good-bye, my sons. Good-bye, ladies."
"Where are ya goin', Masta Splinter," said Casey's recognizable voice.
"We came to say 'Hello', but I guess we'll be saying 'Good-bye'," giggled April after Master Splinter explained to them.
"Actually, April and I will be going on a retreat for the month as well. We're going to my grandma's farm," Casey said.
"Have fun and good-bye," said Master Splinter.
"I'm sure they'll have fun, if ya know what I mean," Raph commented then said "Ow!" when Master Splinter hit him with his walking stick.
"Raphael, mind your manners," Master Splinter reminded him.
"Sorry, sensei," Raph rolled his eyes. Everyone said "Good-bye," to Master Splinter, April, and Casey and the three left.
"Now what do we do?" asked Mikey.
"MOVIE NIGHT!!!!" screamed Candy, Reese, and Nat. Rita groaned, Raph said "Whatever," Mikey said "Awesome!" Leo and Don said "Okay."
"We have to watch at least one chic flick," said Nat. The guys and Rita groaned.
"How about 'He's Just Not that into You'?" Candy suggested.
"YEAH!" Reese and Nat cheered. The others groaned louder. Nat decided to go rent the movie. They picked 'He's Just Not that into You', 'Transformers', 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen', 'Pirates of the Caribbean', and 'Star Wars: A new Hope'. They didn't need to buy the action movies because the turtles already owned them. Candy and Raph decided to do their training practice. They chose to work on kicks.
Candy was getting easily blocked by Raph, but it was vise versa as well. Raph panted as he blocked another shot. 'She's getting better,' he thought. Candy was sweating and Raph wondered if she had sweat through her shirt. Then maybe he could see her- Raph stopped his thoughts. There was to be no checking her out. They were not to bond like that with them. Master Splinter gave them that one and only order. But when did he listen to orders? He looked down. Candy noticed this.
"PERV!" she kicked him square in the face. You could hear some chuckling coming from the couch. Candy went to go take a shower. Raph had been so nice when they went shopping and everything, but sometimes he was a total pervert. Looking down to cleavage (well, that was what Candy thought, Raph wanted to see something else) was preposterous to her! 'To think I almost kissed him!' she thought.
She took her shower and changed into some new clothes she had in the bathroom. She entered her room to blow-dry her hair. There was a note on her bed. It read: 'Sorry, sometimes I can't help myself. Don't worry I'm still a lip virgin, if you're interested. *wink* Hope you had fun training, I know I did. Love, Raphael (the turtle, not the artist)' Candy growled. Raph could be so irritating… in his own wonderful and enchanting way. How could calm, cool, collecting Candy, herself fall for him! The bloody hot headed jerk-face turtle with the bad attitude, a motorcycle, and fully claimed bad boy! 'But, God, is he's bloody hot for a turtle,' Candy thought to her self as she blow-dried her hair. She decided to write her own letter to Raphael.
Dearest Raphael,
In most cases, this letter you wrote to me sounds like you want to have some sort of kissing affair or something. So far today I have said bloody in my mind twice. Bloody is basically a curse in my country and I you know I don't curse.
I also know it was you writing to me not the artist. You did not need to put that it. I did not think it clever or funny. Get some lessons from Michelangelo.
You also have a lack of respect for women. Looking down is an invasion of their personal privacy. How would you like it if I looked down to your place? Sometimes I swear you are more Neanderthal than turtle.
And 'Love, Raphael', what is that? First of all, there is no relationship between us. Second of all, you get mad every time someone brings up the end of my first lesson.
Sincerely,
Candace Johnson
She put the note under his water by his punching bag. He was already punching the punching bag. He stopped when he saw her put the note under his water. He stopped the bag before it could hit him. She went to watch TV. He picked up the note and read it. He found a piece of paper and a pen. Then he folded it up into a paper airplane and threw it at her. She unfolded it.
Dearest Candy,
A kissing affair sounds nice. I can only imagine what kissing you is like. Intense, I guess. Maybe even a little tongue action, huh? We keep it between us of course. MMMM…I can taste your lips already. *wink* Oh and please, don't care about saying bloody here. Here in the U.S. it just means you're covered in blood. Oh, and if I was a Neanderthal more than turtle you'd probably be pregnant. That might be a possibility though if you want me to be more Neanderthal-like.
Love, Raphael
Her response was shoved in his face.
Dearest Raphael,
Eat crap, turtle.
Die you stupid awful amphibious reptile.
You talk a pile of crap.
You are just a walking canister of bile.
I hope you get food poisoning.
I hope you go to the deepest pit of Hell.
Maybe we'll get lucky and the Shredder will kill you.
You're absolutely vile.
I HATE YOU!
Yours truly,
Candace Johnson
Raph read this and just laughed. He gave her his answer.
Candy,
Temper, temper.
-Raphael
When Candy saw this she lost it completely. She tried to write several letters and they failed epically so she finally just wrote one sentence. She gave it to Raph.
Raphael,
You're one to talk!
-Candy
Raph got the note read it. He walked over to where Candy was sitting on the couch reading a book. He picked her up and she began to scream. She began doing punches she learned in training. Raph locked his door after he had entered his room. He sat Candy down on the bed and grabbed a chair.
"Enough with de letters, already," he said.
"You're so mean," Candy slapped his face.
"Don't do that," he said "I was kidding with those letters."
"Oh," she said.
"Well, everything, but the kissing affair," Raph smiled.
"LEO!" she shouted. Leo knocked on the door.
"Raph, if you're doing what I think you're doing," warned Leo.
"Quiet, Leo," said Raph "I ain't doin' nothin' to her."
"Fine, but if she screams again I'm breaking the door down," he said.
"I'm sorry," Raph hugged her "Like I said 'Sometimes I can't help myself'." She hugged him back. Why couldn't he always be like this?
"If you two are done figuring out new positions we'd like to start the movie!"
"MIKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" This was everyone in the entire lair except Mikey and Klunk. Raph and Candy exited the room as the movie started.
"Mikey, I'll kill you later," said Raph as the girls, except Rita, shushed him. The girls took the couch and the guys took the floor. Once the movie ended, they started Star Wars. Mikey got up at one point and went to his room. He came back with a green toy lightsaver. Don stood up and held his Bo staff at the end. They began a battle. Leo and Raph groaned. The girls laughed. The fight ended within twenty minutes. They continued to watch the movies. Leo, Don, and Raph each had to hit Mikey during 'Transformers' because he kept reciting lines. Then the girls had to hit Nat because she picked up when Mikey stopped.
It was too late to tell when everyone fell asleep in the living room. Raph was the last one up. He got up quickly and put a blanket over Mikey, Don, and Leo. Then he got a piece of paper. Candy had fallen asleep with her arms crossed. He put the note above her heat then moved her hands over it. The note read:
Dearest Candy,
I love you.
Love, Raphael (Forever Yours)
