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 he's got his life going. I'm happy for him, but it makes me wonder if there's someone out there of me and Mike and Don. A friend of Alexa, Leo's fiancé, and I were getting close. Her name's Sarah, and she always understood everything about me. She knew how to help me control my anger when Leo got under my skin, but I haven't seen her in five years. My brothers and Alexa were captured and it took us those years to get the Shredder and Bishop off our shells. Now she's with someone else, and to be honest, it hurts. My heart aches when I see her knowing she's not with me. The anger that Sarah calmed comes back. It rushes through me because I couldn't do anything to keep her from leaving. I just have to face the truth, I'm a mutant and unless we find another mutant who isn't evil and mindless, I'm not going to find the one. The sooner I come to terms with this the sooner I can get past this.

I put down my computer, Raphael sounds so broken. The last few days, Sarah, Kristen, and Taylor were helping me with some wedding things, but I didn't know that was the reason why Raph disappears. I frowned and turned off the computer. Poor 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 kidding the top of my head and wrapping his arm around me.

I nodded.

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

"I know, but he's struggling."

"I know you said you wouldn't tell me what he writes, but how you sound write now, you gotta tell me."

I sighed knowing he's write. If I wanted to help him through this, I was going to need Leo. "He's in love."

"With who?" He looked at me.

"Sarah. All of his posts are about her and how much she understands him. He REALLY likes her." I slid my hands down my face. "Here." I turned my computer and opened the post back up. As he read it his face fell. "That's how all of them are, but Sarah's with that Matt kid. She's really happy with him."

"Then we have to find him someone else." Leo smirked.

I looked over at him. "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.

"Ya. Ya." 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.

"Ya, 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?"

"Ya 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 with another girl' 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.

Tell me how I did with Raph's fan fiction post. Oh, and I uploaded a new story called "Stronger", so check it out! It's about Casey having a niece who's secretly apart of the Foot clan. Does she really enjoy being a part of the Foot? You have to read it to find out. : )
