HELLO DEAR READERS , HAPPY BELATED CHRISTMAS , EVEN THOUGH ITS ALMOST EASTER* JUST READ SIT BACK AND PRETEND ITS CHRISTMAS AGAIN. . .FOR THE STORIES SAKE* oN WItH tHe sHoW*! First its some preperations, then it gets intense, so bear with it.
"Deck the halls with boughs of holly!" Michelangelo sang while Donatello used his bike to ride down the hallway putting garland up.
"Falalalalalalala" Gwen finished kissing him on the cheek walking by with Tree ornaments.
"For the last time, I'm fine" Lynn swatted Raphael away. "Go do something constructive" She finished with a chuckle helping Elisa set up decorations. He stalked away, hearing some noise from the kitchen.
"Yo Casey!" Raph ran over to help his friend who just ran his head into the doorway trying to bring in the tree.
"Carefull with the tree" Raphael exclaimed helping bring it in. April giggled.
"Oh yeah gee thanks guys, I'm only the guy getting his head conked to bring it in here, and your all worried about the tree . .Thanks raph" Casey set the tree down in the living room.
Casey went off to find the old christmas movies, and music. Christmas Eve was Tomorrow. April and the girls were starting to get a little dazed, just listening to the radio.
Kira woke up that morning only to head upstairs into the room Elisa had taken residence upstairs. She wanted to be apart of the preperations and try to have a little fun, I mean come on its the holidays, no one should be sad on the holidays. April and Gwen were at baking, and trying to Keep Mikey away from the baked goods by swatting him with utinsels and spatulas.
"Come on come on come on I wanna do something" Mikey whined.
"How about get the lights for the tree?" Leo suggest.
"I was gonna say shut up but whateva works" Raph chuckled taking a pair of butterfly swords out.
"Uhm Raph whats with the butterfly swords?" Leo asked.
"Gonna trim the tree a little" His accented gruff voice said a little high on itself. Lynn sat back and watched with a smirk while he took 10 seconds to slice and chop off any out of place sticking out branches or pines off in a fluid motion.
"Damn I'm good I should be a barber . . . A little off the top?" Raph asked jokingly with a glint in his eye to Leo who backed up hands partially raised.
"No thanks"
Lynn giggled and turned before he could glance at her. She was putting lights up above the archway on a step ladder. Elisa on the other side of the step ladder holding it up for her to hook the lights to the wall.
A blurr of Orange bandanna ran past the ladder from a shouting giant.
"Get back here Ya weasley Turtle!" Casey chased Michelangelo , who knocked into the ladder. Lynn and Elisa both shook unsteady.
"Uhh!" Lynn tried to steady it.
"Ahh! Mikey!" Elisa shouted.
Donatello heard the commotion walking in.
"Oomf" Lynn fell off landing on her butt, lights still in hand.
Elisa fell backward landing into Donatello who fell back with her on the couch.
"Nice catch" She breathed out. Michelangelo turned around Raph helped Lynn up and both his brothers with faces of pure evil turned to him.
"Mikey" Raph growled as Lynn sat on the couch.
"Uhhh . . . It was an accident?" Mikey said like it was a question. Raphael cracked his knuckles with Casey, and Donatello turned. Lynn was hurt yesterday and Raphael was still on his over protectiveness kick. Casey was ticked at Mikey for Snowballin' him while he was bringing in the tree. and Don was a little miffed about Elisa almost falling and hitting the floor.
"I'd say you've got about Five Nano-seconds before . . ."
Like bullet Michelangelo was screaming and Running, Before Donatello could finish. All three guys chased after him. Lynn and Elisa looked at eachother before bursting out into laughing. Master Splinter walked in shaking his head.
"Sometimes I wonder where I went wrong" He said in a joking manner making the girls giggle.
"Hey while theyre , occupied, we should get your gift to Don at the Apartment" Lynn suggested.
"After you and Kira almost getting hypothermia in the storm yesterday I dont think the guys will be too happy about us going anywhere" Elisa explained.
"Then ask if we can bring April and Casey. Besides Casey can do the heavy lifting, and I have to pick up my order for Raph" Lynn explained standing up.
"You sure?" Elisa asked.
"Yep" Lynn nodded. "Good so I can pick up Mikeys board wheels and put it all together, stick everything under the tree this afternoon" Gwen smiled.
The girls all told April, and April clapped yelling for Casey.
(Chase scene)
"COME BACK ERE!" Casey shouted at Mikey who was still running. Casey picking Mikey up by his coat jacket was suddenly interrupted.
"CASEY! COME HERE PLEASE I NEED YOU!" April called from the house in a sing song voice.
"Uh COMIN' APRIL!" Casey shouted back. He looked at mikey who had a sheepish grin on his face, Casey dropped him into the snow jogging back to the house. Mikey breathed in relief.
"dont think your outta da woods yet . . .Bone head" Raph said , Mikey looked up both his brothers had snowballs in their hands with devious smirks.
( Right down Santa Clause Lane)
"Where is he?" Gwen looked at her watch. The girls were all dressed including April. She instructed that the others stay here, Leo agreed because Kira and Master Splinter were staying here.
"I'm ready babe" Casey said suited up for the cold weather. Lynn punched his arm
"Get ready for some Heavy liftin'" Lynn joked.
"I bet whateva you got Raph aint THAT heavy, besides his heads heavy enough already" Casey shrugged.
"I heard Dat ya bone head" Raph and Casey started wrestling on the ground.
"(Sigh) Boys will be boys)" April and Lynn shook their heads.
"Elisa you sure you gotta go?" Don asked.
"Yep" Elisa smiled trying not to give anything away.
"We need Casey to do the heavy lifting, and April to come with to Keep casey in line" she explained, Don nodded in agreement.
"Wheres Michelangelo?" Gwen asked before hearing a "Oyyuuugggghhh" And a thud in front of the door.
"Mikey?" Michelangelo was on the floor soaking wet clothes, snow still melting on him.
"What happened to you?" Gwen asked.
"He uh . . ." Raph looked up at Gwens glare towards them.
"He got a first hand experience on what it feels like to be a snowman" Don explained.
"Mikey . . .Sweetie are you okay?" Gwen knelt down he rolled over looking up.
"Ughgghhh . . Am I dead? Because I see an Angel" He winked at her.
"Oh Mikey" She swatted him helping him up.
"Were going back to get . . .stuff with April and Casey we'll be back"
"To New York?" Mikey asked.
"Were bringing Casey and April so nothing should happen" Gwen said calming him.
"What more stuff do you gotta go get?" Mikey asked.
"Just . . .Stuff" gwen blushed knowing he was going to figure it out.
"Oh Ooookaaayyy Seeya" He stole a quick kiss.
"Guess we should finish putting up lights" Don shrugged as the others left.
"Puttin' lights and stuff on the tree" Raph said a little happy like.
"I shall assisst" Master Splinter raised a hand to volunteer.
Leo stood up from the couch, he walked upstairs. Kira finished sleeping in Elisas room. He knew she'd been awake for the past couple of hours, he could hear music coming from the room.
(Taylor Swift: Invisible)
"She can't see the way your eyes Light up when You Smile"
"Shell never notice how you stop and stare"
"Whenever she walks by"
Kira was by herself in the room, just listening to music looking out at the pale grey sky and white snow covering miles around.
"And you can't see me wanting you the way you want her"
"But you are everything to me"
"I just wanna show you she dont even know you"
"Shes never gonna love you like I want to"
"And you just see right through me"
"But if you only knew me"
"We could be a beautifull, miracle, unbelievable"
"Instead of just invisible"
A knock on the door.
"yes?" Kira asked in a drone like voice, soft and quiet trying not to give away too much.
"Theres a fire inside of you, that can't help but shine through"
"Shes never gonna see that light"
"No matter what you do"
"and All I think about is how to make ya think of me"
"And everything that we could be"
"Its me, Just checking on how your feeling" He asked.
Kira thought how cruelly ironic it was, he wanted to know if she was physically okay, not how she was internally feeling right now.
"Yes I'm fine, No fever" She said near the door. She didn't want to open it.
"I just wanna show you, she dont even know you"
"Shes never gonna love you like I want to"
"You just see right through me, but if you only knew me"
"We could be a beautifull, miracle, unbelievable"
"Instead of just invisible"
"Alright . . .I'll be downstairs if you need me" He said. She heard the slight footsteps down the steps.
"Like shadows in a faded light, were invisible"
"Oh were invisible"
"I just wanna open your eyes, and make you realize"
"I just show you she dont even know you
Baby let me love you, let me want you"
"You just see right through me ,but if you only knew me"
"we could be a beautifull, miracle, unbelievable"
"Instead of just invisible"
"Ohhhh Yeah"
"She can't see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile"
Kira sighed, leaning back in the bed, her knees folded up. She was going to push back all her feelings for the next few days. She didn't want to drag anyone down because of her feelings. This was a happy time, she was just going to have to grin and fake it. She sighed suddenly thinking of how she got him something and he was going to have to open it, hopefully he didn't get her anything.
(Wrapping up the Monster)
"Are YOU kidding ME?" Casey looked at the gift Elisa got for Don. In three hours they reached New York, and the Apartment. Lynn let her head hang down at Casey's reaction.
"Its a sweet gift Ellie but Ya gave Don a Monster sized tool box!" Casey said thinking of how much of a trip it was going to be taking it downstairs to the Van.
"We gotta wrap it Too" Gwen said with a smile, pulling a piece of scotchtape.
"Here we go" Lynn sighed nuding april who shook her head in agreement.
(A talk)
Kira came downstairs only after hearing Leo was taking a shower. When she came back down. Donatello was fixing a toaster in the kitchen, Michaelangelo was out doing something in the snow, looking out she noticed this was his fourth snow person. Raphael was watching movies in the living room. She felt a little out of place, and quite frankly . . .Just plain freaking awkward. She was in a house with her best friends boyfriends, Not even April was here to give some sort of smirk saying 'everything will be fine'. Kira sighed thinking she should just head back upstairs and sleep off the rest of the day. She was still in her black sweats and tank top anyways. No sense of dressing up till tomorrow for Christmas Eve.
"Kira . . ." Kira turned around to see Master Splinter putting a teapot away.
"Good morning" Kira offered.
"I believe it is afternoon, you have slept most of the day" He replied setting at the table by the windows of the dining room.
"Oh good afternoon then" Kira smirked.
Kira turned to walk up the steps.
"The path to clearing inner turmoil first starts with a listening ear, my ear is open if you wish to use it"
Kira sighed, knowing the wise old rat was right. She couldn't talk about this to him though, Leo was his . . .Son. She felt trapped not being able to explain any of this only to Elisa who tried her best but because Elisas' book stash and computer were back home, she couldn't look up anything to help Kira out about her weird dreams, weird feelings, and weird EVERYTHING lately.
"I . . .I'm not sure" Kira said crossing her arms in a more hug herself way.
"Is it about your recent dreams, and sleeping fits?" Splinter asked.
Kira looked up, of course they all knew, they had witnessed her freak out in her sleep then wake up in a terrorized panic mess.
"Yes . . .and No" Kira shrugged. "The only person who knows about my Dillemma is Elisa, but since were far from a library or intelligence source that I can rely on in secret, theres no solving whatever is wrong with me lately" Kira looked at him sympathecially.
"Hmm I see . . .These arent matters you wish to discuss with Donatello? or . . Leonardo?" Splinter asked, althought Kira suspected the tone of his voice was not a questioning one, but stating the fact that Kira felt she could not talk to Don because he was Leo's brother, or Leo himself because he seemed to be connected to whatever was up with her.
"I . . .Elisa said when we got back she'd look up my symptoms. She suspects some sort of sleeping disorder that I might've picked up from all the stress lately. Something like that" Kira covered up , dodging his REAL question.
"Tell me, what are your symptoms" He asked, calmly and directively like a real father would. Kira never had a true father, her parents were always gone before the accident. She couldn't resist when she sat down with a mug of hot chocolate to talk with him.
"I've been . . .Screaming in my sleep lately, Elisa woke me up and I was in a complete panic. I dont remember what my dream was about . . .It wasn't even much of a dream, it was more of a feeling. Elisa thinks it was induced by all the stress lately. But . . .All my friends are going through the same or if even worse stress than I am. None of them seem to be having problems like this". Kira shook her head.
"Continue"
"The night you all went to speak to that . . .woman whose name escapes me" Kira knew her name alright but she didn't want to say it.
"Karai" Master Splinter confirmed calmly.
"Well . . .I got the text which I thought was from Leonardo but . . .When I was running. Normally I run all the time, I'm an average jogger and I'm active usually alot, dancing and the gallery to work with. My heart . . .It . . felt strange" Kira said putting a hand to her chest.
"Strange in what manner?"
"It was like it was beating two times at once. It didn't feel normal. I run and check my pulse alot while I'm running I know what my heart feels like when I'm running or jogging at a regular pace" Kira made a thump thump to her chest to show.
"When I was running to the apartment after the Taxi couldn't take me any further because of the heavy flow of late night traffic. I was a block or two down when I felt it shift. I felt dizzy, lightheaded, I was feeling things that I wasn't feeling two seconds before. Like they werent my own. And my heart was doing some sort of double take" Thump-thump , thump-thump Kira showed him by tapping her chest to show the change.
"I know none of that makes sense but-"
"It makes perfect sense Miss Delowry" Splinter cut her off. She looked up at him confused.
"How . . .I dont know anyone who has ever had this happen to them before, not that I know of off hand" Kira looked quizzically at him.
"Only you know your body, your mind. If you say there is something wrong, some sort of change that has occured that isn't natural, than something is there" Splinter said straight to the point.
"So then . . .I guess the only question is . . .what" Kira said sipping from her mug.
"You have not talked to Leonardo about any of this?" Splinter asked a little off topic.
"Well no . . Hes got a lot to worry about, I dont wanna add to it" Kira said looking at the table.
"So you and him havent spoken lately?" He asked.
"Well . . .Other than the small talk . . .No I havent spent much time with him , I've pretty much kept to myself the whole time being here" Kira said taking another few sips. She wondered what he was trying to deduce out of his questions.
"Master Splinter do you think . . .I'm crazy?" Kira asked looking up timidly from the table. The old rat smiled at her.
"No I do not think you have lost your senses, rather than believing you have lost them . . .Consider the possibility you have . . .Gained new ones" the rat said before departing. Kira watched him walk away.
"What ?" she asked herself quietly. What could he mean by that? Gained new ones?
Kira finished and put her mug in the sink rinsing it out and putting it away. Kira heard the door upstairs open and close. Her heart thudded into her stomach. She calmly but quickly raced into the next room, Only to Have Don look up at her.
"Hey Kira are you-" She waved to answer his question then raced to the living room. Raph barely took notice when she walked in. He looked up from his movie at her questionably. Next thing he saw Leo and heard a dive behind the couch.
"Hey Raph, whatcha watching?" Leo asked still drying himself off.
"Black Christmas" Raph said turning up the volume a little.
"How . . .Holiday cheery of you" Leonardo said hearing a woman scream and a length of christmas lights pull a girl back to the haunted house. Raph sighed waiting for Leo to stay or leave or do somethin' , an Why was Kira hidin' behind the couch for? he thought. He looked down and Kira put a finger to her lips begging him to not say anything. He rolled his eyes. Leonardo took a deep breath through his nose.
"Is Kira in here?" Leo asked.
"Nope, jus' missed her, she was havin' a talk in the dinin' room with Master Splinter" Raph said with a sigh. he looked down at Kira who mouthed thankyou to him. He looked at her with a 'you owe me' Look. Kira waited 15 seconds before-
"Hes gone" Raph said with a 'as a matter of fact' tone.
"Thankyou Raphael" Kira said rushing to the stairs running up to her room to shut the door and stay there.
"What was that?" Leo asked popping his head back in.
"What was what?" Raph asked still watching the T.v.
(Wrapping a menace)
"This is . ..RIDICULOUS!" Gwen said wiping sweat off her forehead.
"Your tellin' US" Lynn breathed between gritted teeth, her and Casey at the bottom of the stairs holding it up while letting it slide down slowly.
"Its a good thing we brought the Van, Only one more set of stairs to go then we can wheel it out on a box gurney or somethin" Casey blew out of a clenched jaw.
"Donny better Appreciate this" Casey said before setting it down on the last step. Elisa smiled it was wrapped in shiny red wrapping paper with a giant white lacey shiny bow ontop.
"Now . .. TO THE VAN" Gwen pointed.
"I swear you become more Like Michelangelo everyday" Lynn laughed.
(Its the most wonderfull time of the year*)
"Finally!" Raph said getting up. He walked outside.
"Woah . . . So Ahab caught Moby dick on the way home" Raph said sarcastically as Casey and Lynn opened the van door. Gwen grabbed the small stuff from the front. Elisa smiled bashfully.
"For Donny, Well . . .I'm sure its great . . .Whateva it is" Raph said to Elisa encouragingly.
"GWEN!" Mikey waved. Gwen waved but then put her giant silver wrapped packaged behind her back.
"I'll meet you in a minute!" Gwen giggled. She raced into the house to go stick the gift under the tree.
"Here Lynn I got it" Raph nudged her out of the way and Lynn went back to the front to go hide his box.
"Be carefull you guys" April said wincing watching Raph and Casey carry Donny's gift from Elisa in the house.
"Where are we gonna hide it?" Casey asked.
"Put it Behind the christmas tree and with a blanket over it" Raph said when they finally set it down. Casey threw a blanket over the giant present and threw down on the couch.
Raph walked back cracking his neck. Lynn bumped into him and he steadied her. She had a box wrapped in black shiny paper in her hands.
"Whats that?" He asked.
"Nothing" She smirked putting it behind her back.
"Nothin huh?" He asked darting to get it, she dodged, both facing eachother.
"Yep Nothin' . . .Nothing you can't open until The day after Tomorrow" She winked skipping into the living room tossing it under the tree with zest then plopping in a chair to watch the rest of a movie.
"Black Christmas?" She asked. He smiled, thinking of what he got her. Casey went to pick it up while he was out. He was hoping it would match up to whateva she got him.
"MIKEY!" Gwen laughed, they rolled around in the snow after falling over, making snow angels.
"Come on!" Mikey helped her up. Everyone came out in snow wear and sweaters.
"where we goin'?" Raph asked ready to get back to movies.
"Sledding" Lynn pulled him chuckling, he groaned but knew it was going to be okay anyway.
"April, Babe lets go!" Casey laughed grabbing an intertube.
"Whoa" Casey blinked twice. Aprils snow suit was skin tight with a coat and ski's, black snowboots.
"I got it on my trip to Japan last year . . .Like it?" She asked. Casey picked her up and April laughed . . .
"Guess he likes it" Gwen giggled.
Leonardo was following everyone outside, Lynn convinced Kira to come. He got the feeling she wanted to but at the same time she didn't. Kira came out in a sweater, jeans and her knit ugg boots. Wool cap matching scarf. She let her hair down and didn't bother with makeup.
Master Splinter followed along to watch.
Piling up in the Van, everyone was talking and laughing. Kira smiled politely when addressed but still felt a little left out, like she didn't belong or fully believe she belonged to this group of happy people who were so made for eachother.
"I brought the football!" Casey said and everyone cheered.
"Snow football?" Gwen asked.
"Your in for payback from the family game ya know" Lynn winked at Raph who just smirked.
"Promise you'll go down with me?" Elisa asked nervously, Don nodded smiling.
"Casey . . .I love seeing everyone so happy" April exclaimed.
"Me too babe"
"Kira?"
Kiras attention was turned to the one who . . .against her will was sitting next to her.
"Hm Yes?" She answered looking up timidly. She noticed Master Splinter was watching them. Leo looked at her earnestly.
"Are you feeling well enough?" He asked.
"Uhm yes, Thanks for asking" She smirked it was a false one and she knew he could tell but she turned her attention to out the window.
(Play song: Heart beat: By Stereo Skyline)
Everyone got out.
"NICE HILL!" Mikey jumped onto a sled snowboarding down the hills curve.
"Are you sure its safe?" Elisa asked.
"I promise, your safe with me" Don patted the back of the two seated sled. The hill was pretty big , Elisa slowly slid on and put her arms around him.
"hang on" Don kicked them off and she hung on tight he turned them till they got to the bottom, Don was laughing, he turned around to check on her.
"aha, You alright El?" He asked, she looked up into his eyes. He thought she didn't like it until she hopped up off and pointed to the top.
"Can we do it again?" She asked with that happy person glee she always had hidden. he nodded chasing her up the hills less steep side.
"Whered Casey and Raph go?" Lynn asked April who shrugged.
"I dont know, they were behind me . . .a second ago" April looked around.
"AAAH!"April screamed as Casey came up behind her pulling her onto a snowmobile.
Lynn was laughing out loud watching Aprils expression.
"Ahehehha!" Lynn turned only to be taken down by a giant in a brown leather jacket and red bandanna on an intertube.
"HEY!" Lynn shouted feeling her self being pulled under him looking up on her back while they slid. she was hanging onto his shoulders eyes closed.
When they slowed to a stop she looked up, taking a hand full of snow and putting it ontop of his head. He wiped it off and they wrestled , Lynn trying to get away, Both laughing and calling eachother names even though they both didn't mean them.
Gwen slipped down the hill crashing right into Mikey, landing ontop of him.
"Ow, Love hurts" He laughed. Gwen giggled leaning in to kiss him, before throwing a snowball at him and running away. He chased with as much enthusiasm. Kira watched all this unfold around her, feeling like she SHOULD HAVE stayed at the house.
"Come on Kira . . .Dont just stand there" Elisa giggled nudging her friend.
"I-I'm fine" Kira stood off to the side watching.
Leo watched Kira stand alone watching everyone else run out and chase eachother in the snow, or wrestle or snow mobile. She stood there, like she didnt want to be here. Her scent earlier, whatever perfume she'd been wearing lately he'd been able to notice perfectly. Hers above all other smells. Her hair, her eyes, her personality and charachter, he . . .Was into all of it, he felt it wasn't fair. To feel anything towards her, he had an obligation, to protect his family, and now her. Thats the only reason he was striking this deal with karai . . .To protect everyone.
"My son, it is a joyous day, why do you not participate?" Master splinter asked.
"Kira" Leo answered, Master Splinter knew Leo's feelings towards Kira. Leo knew little by Little Master Splinter was trying to get him to let his walls down, but he still wasn't sure.
"I am Sure if you had a little . . .fun . . .my son, all the stress of yesterdays past will be less hard to bear" Master Splinter suggested.
Leo looked up, the way the sun shined in her blue eyes.
"Thankyou Master, I think thats what I'll do". Leo ran out knowing what he wanted to do.
(You and Me)
(1-2-3 Nikki Cleary)
Kira sighed, wishing she could shake off this depression she was in. That or to be back in her own bed. Her thoughts were interrupted when a snowball hit her making her cap fall off. She looked around for the source. She was surprised to see . . . Leo was smirking throwing another, missing on purpose then running. She stood like she was slapped. His teasing smiled egging her to come follow. She picked her cap up and put it on. Chasing after him, she heard him laugh and she hurried.
Oh Yeah!
Uh!
Once Upon a time
Two-Two hearts felt the same way
But three three three nights ago
You told me you dont know
(Which way)
Which way your gonna go , Oh_
Kira followed him and the follow the leader game he was doing. She threw a snowball but missed he caught it and laughed. He jumped over Mikey and Gwens sled coming down the hill, Kira smirked she jumped over them too.
"Whoa was that?" Mikey and Gwen looked before tumbling down to the bottom with Mikey laughing.
Oooh
Truth aint easy
But please please
Please me
Its time you made up your Mind
I dont wanna cry dont wanna be treated like a loser
Leo ran around Elisa making her twirl and Don caught her only so they would roll down the hill together back on the sled.
"I think they're . . ." Elisa looked bewildered getting up to see.
"Playing" Don smirked 'Knew you could do it bro' Don thought for Leo.
"Hey guys" Kira smiled waving running past them.
1-2-3 Your falling in love with me
I'm falling into your life
Faster than the speed of light
and 1-2-3 you dont wanna hear from me
But if we can't be like before?
Then tell me what love is for!
Kira threw another snow ball this one barely missed him, He caught it and threw it back, hitting her in the leg. She sped up and he laughed knowing if she caught him he was gonna get it.
So fly
Just fly away
and dont think I can't take it
Cuz you you you oughta know
that if you let me go
You'll throw
Your gonna throw it all away,
Ooh!
Lynn and Raph were still wrestling one trying to pin the other.
"Scuse Me" Leo jumped over them. Making Lynn and Raph pause.
"what?" Raph looked up.
"Ah!"
"Woah!" Raph ducked down over Lynn again. Kira just jumped over them too.
"what are they doin?" he asked watching Leo tease kira , throw snowballs and make faces, Kira would run faster after him throwing things if she could, but they were smiling, . . .happy.
"Shes finally taking the initiative, which is what your supposed to be doing" Lynn teased rolling him over pinning him.
"I win" She laughed.
"Yeah yeah" He rolled his eyes.
"whats my prize?" She asked. He leaned up and she kissed him.
Truth aint easy
But please please
Please me
Its time you made up your mind
I DONT WANNA CRY
Dont wanna be treated like a Loser_
1-2-3 Your fallin' in love with me
I'm fallin into your light.
Faster than the speed of light
Leo looked back and did a major ninja flip over a picnic table covered in snow. Kira ran ontop of it to follow, she smirked when he looked back.
"So the dancer can keep up huh!" He called back.
"When I catch you your so gonna get it!" She yelled back throwing another snow ball, this time it caught his shell.
"Thats IF you can catch me" he laughed.
And 1-2-3 you dont wanna hear from me
But if we can't be like before
Tell me what love is for_
They were nearing a grove of trees, Leo stopped a moment to breathe by one then quickly took off Kira at his heels.
Tell me can we keep this love alive_
Will we ever
(Will we ever)
WILL we Ever!
(Will we Ever)
Get to FLY!_
FLY!
Leo felt everything around him, the wind the snow, the cold the heat radiating from him, and . . . That feeling he got with her. The feeling he'd been ignoring for the sake of everyone else. Including her.
1-2-3
No one was watching
Your falling in love with me
Just her
I'm falling into your life
Faster than the speed of light
And 1-2-3 You dont wanna hear from me
But if we can't be like before?
He turned and stopped, she stopped too just in front of him
"You . . .Are . . .Seriously . . .in. . .Shape" She breathed with a chuckle.
Tell me what love is for!
This feeling again. Leo heard himself reply to her and made her chuckle again but wasn't sure of what he said. For the longest time what felt like hours and was only seconds no one spoke.
"So why did you nail me in the head with a snowball ?" Kira laughed.
1-2-3 Your falling LOVE with me
'I want to'
I'm falling into your life
'Raph would say follow your gut'
Faster than the speed of life
'Donny would say follow your instincts'
and 1-2-3 you dont wanna hear from me
'Mikey would say follow your gut'
But if we can't be like before . . .
'Master Splinter would say . . .'
Then TELL ME WHAT LOVE IS FOR!
'follow your heart'
Hands to forearms of coat, Kira felt her breath stolen. One hand against her back the other moving down to her wrist. Kira blinked the sun in her eyes, but . . .something more bright than the sun stared just an inch or so down at her, into her eyes. She felt it , he closed his eyes . . .he leaned in . . .That soft brush against her cheek moved her own lips and it was harder this time, soft but forcefull. . . He was kissing her.
Kira didn't know what to do, she was absolutely taken back. Something in her made her move her free hand up but not touching anything. The hand on her wrist moved to her hair, her cap falling of. She was kissing back, not sure but it felt . . .so . . .right.
"Yo guys its time ta Go . . .Oh" Casey put a hand behind his neck rubbing it. He turned around everyone was ready and waiting.
"Uh" Kira and Leo let go , Kira finally opened her eyes to see him staring at her intently, she looked down blushing madly. She looked up and his eyes stared nothing but the truth at her. She was about to say something when an "Ahem" stopped her.
"Its a . . Time ta go?" Casey pointed with his thumb back to the Van leaning against a tree. Kira ran to the Van fixing her hair and Cap. Leo stood a moment at the spot where she stood. . .He wasn't sure what just happened, but he really really liked it.
"Thanks Casey" Leo said a little grudgingly.
"No problem Romeo" Casey chuckled. Leo gave him a look.
