Chapter 38

March 3

Leo's fiancé told me I should start writing in a journal to, I don't know, sort out through the day. Yeah, Leo's getting married and he has three kids! It's nice having the kids running around the lair; it kind of brightens the mood. It's just crazy that in the few years we've escaped Bishop, life wasn't far from our reach. It was almost as if we went on without any thought of what happened. Hey, now I'm not saying I wanted everyone to be moping around like zombies, but we didn't focus on making sure everyone was okay. Especially Kiyomi, that kid has so much shit thrown at her, and all at once too. I know I'm not her father, but I want to be the one she goes to for comfort and support. I want her to be able to fight this. Oh boy, she has me wrapped around her finger. I can't handle a kid, that's Leo's department. No way would I be able to give up all of my free time to care for the kid. Besides, I got no girlfriend. At leasts I can still bust some skulls.

I put my computer down back on my lap because I pulled it so close to my face. Raphael's post was definitely hiding a secret message, but with the wedding plans going on I never got to pay much attention to his posts. I frowned and turned off the computer. What are you saying, Raph? Leo walked into our room and sat next to me. I sighed and leaned my head on his shoulder.

"He uploaded another one?" Leo asked and swung his arm around me.

I nodded.

"I still can't believe he went through with it."

I nodded again.

"I know you said you'd keep this quiet, but I didn't think you'd stop talking all together." Leo told me.

"I'm trying to figure it out." I told him as I thought back to the post. "It's like he's talking in riddles."

"How so?"

"Well, he brings up how we have the kids, then Kiyomi, and wraps it up with not having a girlfriend." I turned my laptop to him and let him read. As his eyes skimmed over the words, the corner of his mouth curved up into a smile. "What do you think?"

"I think he's got a crush." Leo said simply and I grabbed my computer from him and reread it.

Holy shell! He wants to settle down!

"We've got to give him a helping hand because you know he won't admit to this."

I looked over at him with my eye ridges raised. "Oh no, what do you have planned?"

"Okay, so the DJ for the reception seems pretty cool for Raph." He started.

"Yeah and?"

"And…we have to give her our recommended songs. Remember?"

I leaned my head against the back of the bed. "Oh yeah." The DJ went to my school, that's why we picked her, but she is the complete opposite of Raph. She's almost exactly like Mikey, but with a quiet side. I got up and grabbed my bracelets. "When are we leaving?"

"In ten." He answered.

"Alright I gotta go get Mikey back for hanging a fake spider of my head when I fell asleep on the couch." I started leaving.

"Don't whine when he pranks you back." Leo called.

"Yeah, yeah." I waved him off and went to Don's lab and went on the computer. I went into Mikey's avatar's file and started making some changes. I laughed. Oh, he is so gonna pay. I thought as I put neon pink earrings on him and changed his hair to rainbow and long. I saved the changes, turned off the computer, and tried to exit the lab as casually as possible.

"Hey Alexa, what were you doing in my lab?" Donnie walked towards me.

"Um, I was making a minor change to my avatar." I smiled and rushed towards the portal, but Mikey was in front of it hiding something behind his shell. I stopped and backed up slowly. "Hey Mikey. Whatcha got there?" I laughed nervously.

"Oh this," He pulled out his nun chuck, "just my chuck." He had a mischievous grin on and my eyes widened as a water balloon came flying towards me. Lucky for me, my reflexes were awesome. I was able to catch it and chuck it in his face and run through the portal.

"Is Leo coming?" Raph asked, sitting on the recliner in the living room.

"Yeah, but if you see Mikey. Keep him away from me." I sat down at the table.

"Why?" He asked.

"I kind of stopped him from pranking me." I played with the end of my hair.

"You stupid?" He chuckled.

Everyone knew that if you got away from Mikey when he pranked you or you pranked him; he'll literally hunt you down and pull the biggest prank in the world.

"He started it." I pouted.

"With what? You two have been at each other for a week."

"I was mad that he stole my computer, and he need to pay." I crossed my arms and Raph shook his head smirking. "What?"

"You're such a baby."

"Am not."

"See?"

I stuck my tongue out at him, then Leo walked through the portal. I changed to my human form and so did Raph.

"What'd you do to Mike, he's got all of his prank gear spread out in the kitchen?" Leo pointed at the portal.

"Well I escaped being soaked by a water balloon." I answered.

"He's not gonna stop until he pranks you, you know that?"

"Yeah I know. Are we leaving or what?" I got up and left. Shit, I was screwed. We piled into the car and drove to the DJ's, Samantha's, store in town. She owns a music shop and does the DJ stuff as a hobby. We pulled into the parking lot and went inside. There were only three or four other customers in here looking through CDs. Sam was behind the desk and waved when she saw me. Sam has light almost blonde shoulder length hair and piercing green eyes. She had a few bandages on her, and did she have a black eye?

"Hey how have you been?" She said timidly.

"Great, how's business been?" I smiled.

"It's not too bad other than getting robbed." She shrugged.

"What?! Sam, when did this happen?"

"Um, yesterday when I was closing up."

"Are you okay?" I asked taking her hands.

"Yeah, just scrapped up." She shrugged.

"Who robbed you?" Leo asked.

"I don't know, I couldn't see them too well. They killed the power." She frowned.

I frowned and hugged her trying to cheer her up. She was all by herself here. She needed a bodyguard. Someone who wouldn't mind staying up late to bust some heads in.

"Raphael can stay and keep an eye on you while you work." I motioned towards Raph. Leo smirked at me and Raph gave me a very confused face.

"I don't want to be a hassle." She put her hands up.

"Sam, I am not letting you get beat up again." I smiled at her. "Besides, Raph loves beating up badies and protecting the innocent. He's kind of like a superhero." I saw Raph roll his eyes.

"You're a cop?" She asked him.

"Uh, sorta, more like a bodyguard." He stuttered.

"Oh cool, but I'd love to have some here." She smiled.

"Great, so here's our list for the wedding and he can start now." I pushed Leo towards the door. "See ya, Sammy!"

Quickly, Leo and I got in the car and drove away. Mission 'get Raph to fall in love' is a 'go'.

"He is soo gonna kill us." Leo laughed as we drove back to the house.

"I know." I giggled.

Leo pulled into the driveway and we walked into the house. I took my shoes off and sighed in relief. We had almost everything ready for the wedding. This was great! Mikey came out of the portal looking pissed, but I started laughing when I saw him in his human form!

"Alexa, you are SOO going to pay for this!" He yelled as his rainbow hair fell in his face.

I fell to the floor laughing as Mikey dragged me back to Don's lab to fix his avatar. After I was done Mikey disappeared to his room. Oh no, the prank war has started.
