*3rd chapter and I still don't own the turtles. Lauren and Kelen still are prisoners of my thoughts. Please ask before stealing.

The THX blast boomed through the theater. Then the movie started. Raph realized when the title came up, that this was a horror movie. If she was like most girls, she'd probably be scared. And if she was scared, she would probably jump in his arms. And if you give a mouse a cookie…

Kelen was realizing the same thing. Although she wasn't scared of horror movies, if she played her cards right, he would never know that. Kelen purposely shuddered.

"Ya scared?" Raph asked. Kelen shook her head, but then added, "No, but I have the feeling I will be. Will you protect me?" Raph smiled, "Of course."

"Good," said Kelen, and subtly moved just as close to edge of her seat as the cup holders would allow. She put her arm on the armrest; conveniently the same one Raph had his arm on. He turned his head toward Kelen, but she already staring nervously at the movie screen. Raph didn't move his arm.

Lauren's blonde hair bounced around her shoulders. She pulled her jacket a little tighter, and continued to walk with Donny through the park. She had asked Donny what he was into. Immediately Donny started talking about science. 'How romantic,' she sarcastically thought. But apparently this was a strong subject for him, so she nodded her head and occasionally said, "Really?" or, "Yeah, I know what you mean." About half way through the park, Donny chanced a glance at Lauren. "You have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, do you?" Lauren answered, slightly embarrassed, "Not one clue." They both laughed. "So what are you into?" Donny asked. "Hmmm… Stuff." Don smiled, "And?" Lauren pretended to look very thoughtful. "Things," she answered confidently. They both laughed again. Lauren pulled her jacket tighter yet again. "Are you cold?" Donny asked. "A little," she said. "Well," Don continued, "I can't give you my jacket, but I can offer you my arm." Lauren smiled, "That'd be nice." Donny shyly put his arm around her waist. Lauren pressed herself against the side of him. They continued walking. Neither of them no longer had any idea of where they were going. And they were both completely silent.

In the theater, a surprising thing happened. On the screen. 'He doesn't take hints to well' she thought. Kelen jumped a little in her seat. Raph glanced over. He wanted to do something, but he hadn't really done this before. Their arms had remained touching for some time now and he really wanted to put his arm around her, but he wasn't sure if she wanted him too. So again, he did nothing. Finally, Kelen couldn't take it, "I thought you were going to protect me," she said. That's all Raph needed to hear her say. He put his arm around her waist. She leaned against him, putting her head on his shoulder. Whenever she was "scared" she turned her head away, and Raph held her a little tighter. 'That's much better,' Kelen thought. Raph could have kissed her, and he wanted too, but he didn't want to make a scene. He decided maybe he'd try something later tonight. A scream was heard on screen. Almost on cue, Raph pulled Kelen a little closer. And Kelen vowed to seek revenge on the guy who invented built in cup holders.

*It's all going good for the guys so far. And reviews would probably inspire me to the point of writing another chapter. (Can't believe how well she uses bribery) HeHe! Up to you guys!
