Ch.25~ Years in time
This year was getting boring, at least it was soon going to be time for summer vacation soon. Mona and me have become great friends, I mean she's so fun. She's kind, gentle but also she has a temper and likes to hear my 'stories'. Thalia takes my stories as an awesome story, Mona knows it's me describing my glory days. Slowly I've been getting used to living at this age, but I definitely don't look forward to going through puberty again.
"Raphie tell me the story about raiding the shredders base?" Mona asked, I chuckled she loved to hear my fighting stories.
"There I was in the garbage incinerator, Casey had to put in the code to open up the laser grid on the vent. The big lug couldn't get it to work, we were yellin' at him to hurry up before we became flambe. Finally he smashes the computers, we all get in through the vents, climbing up till we reached a control room." I explained.
"Then you laid a smack down on those foot cronies, Don did his tech stuff while you and the other fought. Splinter was hauling ass, before the back up arrived you all hide in the vent." She added.
"Why am I tellin' this story ya know it too damn well Mo-chan?"
"Alright tell me a new story."
"I'll tell ya story of when me, Donnie and Mikey fought H.A.T.E."
"Told me that one."
"Triceraton prison."
"Yep."
"Planet racer."
"Uhuh."
"I must have told you all of them."
"No you haven't, tell me a story about how you came to be like this."
"It ain't that good of a story."
Sitting up she looked me straight in the eye, she had the pleading look. Just like Mikey's face it's hard to say no to; now that I think about it Mikey still does it. I guess he'll never grow up.
"I want to know everything."
"Well I guess it all started when I went out huntin' and ran inta a group of purple dragons only to have the foot jump in..."
(Leo's POV)
Raph and Mona ran through the amusement park ahead of me, Don had to stay home with Thalia. She had caught the flu. Since Mona was coming over Don suggested it I take them out since I had the day off, I decided on the amusement park. The two held hands as they ran to the first ride, it was a fairly hot day. I had brought them to Coney Island, I remember after Karai attacked our home Raph had hid out under the train bridge.
"After we're done here let's go to where you went last time you were on Coney Island?" Mona asked Raphael who frowned.
"We are in a place full of amusement parks and you wanna go there..." he replied, did he tell her about that day.
"Leo can we check it out?" she asked, I guess it couldn't hurt.
"I guess, it's not a far walk from here." I answered, she jumped up in an excitement.
"Let's go for a ride on the ferris wheel Mona." Raph said, she nodded.
Running after them I smiled, I'm glad Raph has made a good friend. Stopping dead I scanned around, why does it feel like someone is watching me. Out of the corner I see Raph has stopped too, scanning the crowd and the rides furiously I saw nothing suspicious.
"What's the matter Raphie?" Mona asked, "there are people everywhere what's gotten into you."
"Nothing let's go, come on Papa we need our tickets." Raph replied.
"Yeah, I'll be right there." I stated, turning I followed them.
(Mona's POV)
Middle school had flew by hard to believe it's my last year, Raph had joined the football team and became popular almost over night. Me I stayed far from that crowd. Actually I spent most of my time at school alone; Raph trys to hang with me but his groupies always drag him off before long. But we always walk home together, I was actually waiting for him right now.
"Hey Mona!" Raph called, stopping I watched him run to my side.
"What's up Raph?" I asked, he put up a flyer for the school dance in front of me. "What about it?"
"You gonna go?"
"Why would I, it's not like I have a date."
"For someone who claims to read minds your being kinda slow."
Leaning over he pressed his lips against mine, did he love me? Pulling away I touched my lips with my fingers in shock.
"Raphie..."
"I'll pick you up at seven-thirty."
"I haven't even said yes yet!"
"Are you telling me you don't want to go out with me?"
"I never said that!"
"Then there's no problem, come on let's head home."
He reached out and grabbed my backpack and slinging it over his shoulder. Then he reached out and grabbed my hand firmly, back in elementary we used to always hold hands and I would kiss his cheeks. Leaning over I kissed his cheek as we left the school.
(Raph's POV)
"Kinda last minute to tell us you're going to a school dance with Mona isn't it?" Papa questioned, I sighed.
"It's not like it's prom Papa, all I need to do is wear something nice, not the makings of a suit." I replied.
"I agree with Leo you should have told us earlier." Dad added.
"I just asked her today." I stated.
"Did you even get her something, I mean this is your first date together." Papa asked, I nodded.
"Aw sweet what did you get her?" Dad said, he seemed way to excited about this.
"Nothin' special just a necklace." I replied, Don looked disappointed. "Come on like Papa got you something better on your first date."
"Actually he wrote me a poem." Dad said.
"A poem how lame is that?" I mocked, Papa looked at me annoyed.
"I thought it was rather sweet, come on how is just some necklace going to seem romantic."
"I promise you it'll be more romantic then a poem."
(Mona's POV)
I nervously paced in my room as I stopped for the millionth time to make sure my dress was perfect and that my hair was fine. Mom braided my hair and tied the bottom with a lovely red ribbon. The dress I wore was red with black ruffles as the bottom and around my neck. My shoes were a simple gold sandal, that had the appearance of roman sandals.
"Mona Raphael is here!" Mom called, grabbing my coat and purse I went down stairs to see Raphael.
He wore a black button up shirt with dark wash jeans and leather jacket. His long hair was in it's usually gothic style which partly covered his right eye. Walking over to him I saw him blush as he gazed at me.
"You look beautiful Mona." He complimented, Mom pulled out her camera.
"Come on you two time for a picture!" Mom cheered, I stood by Raph and he put his arm around my waste and grinned at the camera. Mom snapped a few quick photos and put the camera away. "Now you both have fun, have her back by eleven Raphael."
"I will Alicia." Raph said.
"Bye Mom." I added as we left the house.
(Raph's POV)
The dance had died down, me and Mona had danced for a while and honestly I enjoyed dancing with her. Looking around I decided that I should take her for a walk so I can give her my present.
"Let's go Mona it's pretty much done here, we still have time before curfew so let's take a walk in the park." I suggested, she smiled.
"Let's go." she replied, walking over I grabbed our coats.
Helping her into hers I slipped mine on, slinging her purse over her shoulder we headed out the door. We left the school and went toward the park, it was small but perfect. Soon we were by the fountain, sitting down on a bench I pulled the box out of my inside pocket in my leather jacket.
"I got this for you, I hope you like it." I stated.
"Raph you didn't have to..."
"But I wanted to."
Smiling she grabbed the box and opened it, inside was a turtle locket. Opening it she read the inscription I had put in there; 'To Mona, In all my years I've never met anyone more beautiful or loving then you, I'll give you my heart and my life'. On the other side of the inscription was a picture of us with our cheeks pressed together doing the peace sign with our fingers.
"Raphie, thank you." she cried, I saw the tears of joy in her eyes as she pulled me into a hug.
"I love you." I said, pulling from the hug we kissed with passion.
Our tongues mingled as I held her hands, reaching one hand up I cupped her cheek. slowing down our kiss we did a few quick kisses before parting. Grabbing the necklace I placed it around her neck, kissing the locket I pulled back.
"I love you too Raphie."
"Come on I better get you home."
"Raph can you carry me?"
"Of course."
Hoisting her up onto my back I piggybacked her out of the park. Leaning her head against my shoulder she soon fell asleep. No matter what I'll protect her, even if it kills me.
(Don's POV)
"I'm home." Raph called as he entered the livingroom.
"Hey, so how did it go?" I asked curiously, he smiled big.
"Perfect, she loved the necklace by the way I even got kisses and I piggybacked her home. I think I did better then Papa in the romantic part." he answered. "Hey Dad have you felt like someone's watchin' you?"
"Sometimes, why?" I replied, he flopped down on the couch next to me.
"All the way home I felt like someone was watchin' me, I don't like it, it's happened too many times to be just a coincidence."
"What are thinking?"
"Karai..."
"Shush do you want Thalia to hear you?"
"I'm just saying I think we need to be aware, it was only a matter of time till she found us, you knew that."
"I'll tell Leo when he gets home, watch out for Thalia just in case."
"I know I will."
(Narator's POV)
Holding a file in her hands Karai leaned back in her chair, motioning the elite by her side. He handed Karai her gauntlet. Slipping it on she stood up and let it scrape against the glass as she walked toward her elevator.
"Our time is near, observe these people more so we can be sure it is them. I will not accept failure I will kill them you hear me, no one else is worth my time!" she ordered, the elite nodded as the elevator door closed.
(Raph's POV)
"Hey Mo, I need to ask you something." I said, I heard her yawn over the phone.
"Raphie it's two in the morning what could be so important." she whined.
"I need you to act as normal as you can, someone has been following me." I whispered, I looked out my bay window trying to seem normal.
"Wait. What? Sorry I'm half asleep, did you just say someone is following you..?"
"I did, seems like Karai found us, but it seems she's checking out so she knows that it's really us. She may be a bitch but she doesn't hurt normal citizens. Maybe we can trick her off our trail if we act normal."
"Why not just beat on them?"
"Then she'll know it us, I can't put Thalia or you in that kind of danger."
"How long are Don and Leo planning on hiding the truth from Thail?"
"As long as possible, I can't blame them for wanting their daughter to have a normal life."
"I guess... Love you Raphie, stay safe."
"I will, I love you too, night Mo."
"Night."
Hanging up I flopped onto my bed, turning I gazed out my window again. How long will this act work?
