Chapter V: Discussions

"Come on Mike." Mondo Gecko pleaded, "You've gotta come."

"I don't know. I've never been away from my family much. I don't know if Splinter will approve."

"Just ask him. Maybe he'll let you go."

Michaelangelo took a deep breath. He wanted to go, but he wasn't sure if Splinter would let him go to Hawaii. "Okay, I'll ask."

"Cool. Well. I gotta get going. Got some more stuff to do. I'll see you later."

"Yeah." Michaelangelo thought for a minute. "Hey why don't come later tonight. You can join me on the Sewer Hour and be my guest and I can play some of you music and stuff."

"Alright. I'll come by tonight. That will be awesome." Mondo Gecko looked at his watch. "Well I best be going. Catch you later."

Meanwhile.....

"where are you going Raph?" His wild spirit made her worry.

"I'm going to Casey's." He jumped on his bike and roared the engine.

"I didn't me to scare you about kids and all."

"I know. I just need some time alone." He leaned and kissed her cheek. "I'll be home in a little while. K."

With that he took off. Venus felt scared. She wasn't trying to run him off. She was just curious about what he wanted in life.

**************************

Venus walked over to Splinter's room to talk to him, but he was busy talking with Michaelangelo.

"Michaelangelo." The old rat saw the nervous look in his face. "Why were you afraid to ask me if you can go to Hawaii with Mondo Gecko and his band."

"I don't know sensei. I just didn't want you to worry about me all the time."

"Michaelangelo, no matter where you are or how old you get, I am always going to worry about you. You are my youngest son, but you are old enough to make some of your own decisions."

"I know."

Splinter lift Michaelangelo's chin up and looked him in the eye. "I know you have been lonely lately. You and Raph haven't hung around each other since he has been dating Venus."

"I feel like I lost one of my best friends. Me and Raph got along good most of the time. I feel a little more connected with him than with Donnie and Leo. But lately, he's been to preoccupied with Venus. I'm happy for him but I guess I am kind of jealous."

"I know, my son. I am glad that you are happy for him. The past few weeks, I have seen Raphael become alot less irate with everyone."

"Yeah, I guess he has."

"I think you should go with Gecko. Maybe this trip to Hawaii will do you some good. You need to hang around with your friends for a while. Maybe you will find someone....I mean something to fill your emptiness ."

"So, you're saying I can go."

"Yes Michaelangelo."

"Thanks Sensei." Michaelangelo embraced Splinter. He was excited that he said yes, but he was wondering what he meant about finding something to fill his emptiness.

****************************

Dragon Lord looked at his doubting sister. She could be such a bitch sometimes. Tashina looked at her ignorant brother. He could be such an ass sometimes. They looked at each other wickedly. They knew exactly what each other was thinking about.

"Don't you trust my judgment.?" He sat on his throne and glared at her.

"About as much as I trust you." She glared at him hard. She was jealous of him. Here he was sitting all high and mighty like he ruled the world. It burned her up.

"My plan WILL work."

"If you are so confident of that, why did you need me?"

"You possess a power gift. A gift..." He raised his hand and clenched his fist. "A gift I am not able to possess. The power..."

"To see the future."

"Yes."

"Why brother, I believe you are jealous?" Tashina moved closer to him. She loved the fact he was jealous of him.

*****************************

Raphael knocked on the door to Casey's apartment hoping that he was home. It had been months since he had seen him. He wondered what he had been up to since then.
Raphael waited a few seconds and then heard the locks being unlatched. The door opened and there stood a half asleep Casey.

"You look like you got hit by a truck." Raphael commented to his friend. He laughed alittle and walked inside.

Casey closed the door behind him. "Thanks. So what brings you here."

"Got to talk to you." Raphael walked over to the fridge and pulled out a beer. He opened it and plopped himself on the couch taking a sip.

"What about?" Casey sat on the other side of the couch. "Where have you been the past few months?"

Raphael took another sip of his beer. "China."

"You were in China."

"Yeah."

"Doing what?"

"Well, taking a vacation and Venus is from there." He felt a little light headed when he said her name. Venus.

"Oh. So what you came here to talk to me about." He noticed they way Raphael acted when he mentioned Venus.

"Well, I...I...need some advice...and stuff. I...think...I think I'm in love."

"What do you mean?"

"I think I love Venus." He blushed slightly. "We've been going out for the past few weeks. We've been getting really close to each other. I want..."

"TIME OUT! I need a beer." Casey got up, walked over to the fridge, and pulled out a beer. "OK." he sat back down on the couch. "You and Venus are an item." He was completely shocked.

"Yeah."

Casey gave him a confused look. "When did this happen?"

"In China."

"OK." Casey took a sip of his beer. "Now what were you saying." He to another sip.

"I want to have sex with her."

Kat sat up in her bed. It was going to be another boring day.

She turned on the TV in her room. At least her father let her have some human things. It was tuff being a dragon, especially the daughter of the Dragon Lord. He never let her do much. She wondered what he was doing this morning that he was so loud.
