Summer in China
Part VI: The Guys
By: Michelle
Venus laid in the cool fresh grass and looked up at the clouds. She observed their different shapes. One looked like a puppy. One looked like a heart. Another looked like Leo. Another looked like Leo. Like Leo. Like Leo. Leo. Leo. She closed her eyes, smiled, and drifted away with the thought of Leonardo in her mind.
"Mei Pieh." She startled at the Voice of Mai Li.
"Yes, ma'am."
"You seem so distant. What is on your mind?"
"Leonardo."
"So I see." Curiously Mai Li asked, "Will you tell me about the rest of your friends?"
"OK."
*********************************************************
Leonardo walked into the kitchen and observed his two brothers who had their ears against the wall. "What are you two doing?"
Michaelangelo and Donatello jumped up suddenly and scrambled for something to pretend like they started preparing lunch. "Um...we are making lunch," explained Donatello.
"Whatever." There was no fooling him; Leonardo knew they were trying to hear he and Splinter's conversation. He also knew he had to talk to them about Venus. "Can I ask you guys about something?"
"Yeah."
"Sure Leo, what is it?
"It's about Venus." He took a deep breath. "What do you two think about me...me dating Venus?"
The two turned and looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They were not expecting a question like that.
"Leo, I..." Donatello looked down. "I don't have any problem with it. She's not my type anyway. Besides, I think I am falling in love with TurtleNinja."
Leonardo turned to Michaelangelo. "What about you?"
**********************************************************
Venus sat up and looked at Mai Li. "Well there's Donatello. He's the second to youngest. He's very smart; he's a scientist. Donnie is the quiet one and likes to be alone. We don't get along when it comes to my Shinobi magic and his computers. He feels that 'It's only magic until the science proves it wrong.' Donnie is also a Ninja, but he does not like fighting. He's a pacifist."
**********************************************************
"Well...um...I guess it's OK." Michaelangelo grabbed an onion and began chopping it.
Leonardo's eyes narrowed. "Are you sure?"
He stopped chopping the onion and looked at Leonardo. "Yeah, I'm sure."
"OK." Leonardo left the room to look for Raphael.
"Mikey." Donatello took the chopped onion Mike was finished with. "Are you OK?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that I have a bad feeling about Leo and Venus dating."
"Why?"
"Well you know. It's Raph. I think he kind likes her."
Donatello busted out laughing.
************************************************************
"Then, there's Michaelangelo. He's a big sweetheart. He's like a five year old trapped in a 20 year old's body. He's a little childish for me. We get along great. He's more like a little brother than a friend. He can make anyone's frown turn into a smile, even Raphael's."
**********************************************************
Splinter walked out of the room Raph was in. Leo could tell by the look on his face that Raphael gave him a had time with the talk. He dreaded to talk to Raph about Venus, especially after what happened in practice. But, he might as well get it over with.
"Hey Raph."
"What do you want?" Raphael was obviously pissed. "Here to give me a lecture. Well Splinter already did so get off my case."
Leonardo rolled his eyes. He knew it was going to be hard to talk to Raph. "I'm not here to get on you case."
"Then why are you here?"
"Do you have to make everything such a task? All I want to do is talk to you about something."
Raph laid on the floor. "Well. What is it?"
"What do you think about me dating Venus?" There he said it. Now for the smart mouth answer.
"What the hell do I care. It's your life. Do what you want." Raph rolled over leaving his back facing Leo.
"OK." Finally it was over with. Leo turned and left the room.
Raph waited until his brother left before he left out a 'sigh'. He did care about Leo and Venus dating, but he didn't know why.
*********************************************************
"Raphael is the stubborn one of the group. He does not like to follow orders; he likes to do his own thing. He has a wild nature about him. He's so mysterious. We do not get along to well. I don't think he likes the fact that I joined their family. He is reckless and out of control; but he does have a sweet side to him."
*********************************************************
Leonardo searched the house for Venus, but could find no trace of her. 'She must be with that Chinese woman she met yesterday' he thought. He put on his trenchcoat and left to find her.
**********************************************************
"You care about your family very much don't you."
"Yes, I do. Without them I do not know what I would do." Venus smiled at the thought of them.
"You are very lucky."
"Yes, I am." She looked at the old woman and suddenly had an idea. "Would you like to join us for dinner tomorrow night. So you can meet them and maybe teach me some Shinobi spells."
Mai Li smiled, "I would like that very much." She stood up and look down at Venus. "I must go. My niece may need my help in the kitchen. I shall see you tomorrow night."
Venus watched her leave, then laid back on the grass. It was so peaceful. This day in June was so beautiful she thought.
"Venus"
She sat up and looked around. She knew that voice. It was Leo's. She sat a few minutes longer and then saw him. She smiled.
"There you are. I've been looking all over for you." He sat down next to her.
"Isn't it beautiful here." She leaned on his shoulder.
"It is with you here." He looked into her eyes and kissed her lips.
