Akira and Devon slowly walked through the streets towards their
apartment. Both of them knew that it was the last time they would be
sharing a home with Venus. While they were happy that she was finally
going to be able to live with her brothers again, they both were going to
miss her. Making it towards their front door, they both paused at the
door. Taking a deep breath, Devon opened it, letting Akira walk through
first. Silently, they both walked up the stairs towards their apartment.
Akira opened the door, then let Devon through. They both looked at the
apartment, which was still a mess from the Foot's attack almost two weeks
ago.
Carefully stepping around one of the many piles of broken furniture that decorated the apartment, Akira walked upstairs to look for Venus. He found her sitting in her room, packing her bags. When she saw Akira, she jumped up and gave him a big hug. "I'm so excited Akira, I can't wait to go back home!!" She told him, then paused. Dropping her voice down a little, she continued. "However, I am gonna miss being here with you and Devon. You two have been great these past few months, and without you I wouldn't be here at all. Thanks!!" Letting go of Akira, Venus started packing again. Akira turned to leave, after giving Venus one last look over his shoulder.
Devon watched the sad look on Akira's face as he came back downstairs from seeing Venus. He knew that Akira was worried about sending her back so soon, and he was too. Just a few weeks ago, Raph was threatening to hurt her or worse. Devon hoped that letting her go back was a good idea, and hoped that she would be happy there.
Mikey ran through the lair, getting the last minute touches ready. Since there wasn't enough room at the table, he had set up chairs at the counter. There were going to be 11 people at dinner, so he had asked April to bring down some dishes and silverware. He hoped that there would be enough food to go around, and that everyone would like it. He had made some mac n' cheese for shadow, since that was her favorite food. For everyone else, he had made roast beef, carrots, mashed potatoes, peas, soda, sparkling water for a toast, bread, salad, and a three-layer chocolate cake. Praying they would come out right, he began to set up the placemats.
Raph slowly backed up, looking at the banner he had been trying to hang for the past 5 minutes. "Finally, I'm done," he muttered "better go see what Mikey wants me to do next." Satisfied with the job he had done, he turned around. Walking towards the kitchen, he smelled the chocolate cake Mikey had been trying for days to complete. "Hey Mikey, do ya need any help with anything else before I take a shower." Raph asked, leaning against the fridge. "I think that is just about it, can you just check to make sure that Donny's done hanging up the streamers?" Mikey asked him, not taking his eyes away from the potatoes he was stirring. "No problem, Mike. They'll be done before you know it." Smiling, Raph headed towards the living room, where Donny was setting up for the after party.
Donny spun around in surprise when he heard Raph come in the room. "Raph, what are you doing here? I thought you were going to take a shower before the party." Raph looked at him for a minute before saying "I am, but Mikey asked me to see if you needed any help with anything, since it seems to be taking you so long to put these up, we were wondering if you got hurt." Donny gave Raph a look before answering "I'm fine, I'm just trying to make sure everything's perfect, that's all." Raph smirked, then replied "The only was you can do that is if you give up your stupid plan and admit to her that you love her. With that he left the room, leaving a bewildered Donny behind.
Casey looked at his watch and sighed. They were on there way to the lair, but Shadow was walking really slow. Casey tugged at his daughter's hand, then decided it would be better if he just carried her to the lair. With that, he picked her up and began to walk carefully through the muck, with Shadow gladly snuggling in his arms.
April stood in her apartment, mentally going through everything she needed. She had to go pick up Venus, Devon, and Akira, and was afraid she was going to be late. Just before she walked out the door, she remembered that she had promised Mikey that she would bring some extra silverware and dishes. Running towards the cabinets, she grabbed all she could, stuck them in a box, and ran out the door, grabbing her keys and shutting the door firmly behind her.
Venus sat down next to Akira and Devon on the steps in their apartment. She had all her things packed and was ready to go home. Akira and Devon were quiet, and she was worried about them. "You guys are going to have so much fun once I leave, you'll have the house to yourself, and won't have to worry about me arguing with you. I'm gonna miss you guys, though." Devon snorted and looked away. "I know you'll miss us Venus, you have to. We cared for you for these past few months, if you didn't, then we were never friends." Devon coldly told her. "Devon….." Akira warned, but before he could say anything else, the intercom buzzed. "That must be April." Venus said, getting up carefully.
April stood impatiently at the bottom of the apartment. Finally, the doors opened and she was able to go up the stairs to the apartment. Devon opened the door for her and let her in. Venus jumped up from the stairs and ran to hug her. "April, I've missed you so much, I'm so glad to see you again!!" "I'm so glad to see you to Venus, I've been so lonely the past few months when I go down to the lair." April told her, hugging her back. "How about if we start packing your things in my van? The faster we do that, the faster we can get to the lair." Akira and Devon nodded, and each took a bag. Venus grabbed one, and April did to. Carefully sneaking down the back elevator, they managed to get all of her things out and into the van.
