Starting the next day, Michelangelo would meet Nancy right after work and walk her home. This happened for a week until the guys started to notice that Michelangelo and Nancy were more than just keen with each other. They would go to the movies, walk around Central Park together. One evening after Michelangelo walked Nancy home, they were sitting on the couch together.
"What was it like," Michelangelo asked, "Growing up with out a dad?"
"When I was younger, I never really noticed," Nancy said. She rested her elbows on her knees and continued with a smile.
"My mother always traveled when I was younger. One of my favorite places was Hershey, Pennsylvania. Then we made our way up to Washington State and my mother met Ronald, Ronald Summers.
"I was fifteen and that's when it clicked, I never knew my father. Eventually they got married and I came to know him as dad."
"I've never been out of New York," Michelangelo said. "Master Splinter would tell us lots of stories about Japan." Nancy shivered. "Are you cold," Michelangelo asked.
"A little, I'll be okay." Nancy leaned back on the couch. Michelangelo put his arm on the back of the couch. Slowly their eyes started to droop, and then they were fast asleep.
Leonardo was the first one up the next morning. He liked to get up a few minutes earlier to be ready for practice. On his way to the practice room, Leonardo paused when he saw Michelangelo and Nancy on the couch. Nancy was cuddled up on Michelangelo's chest with his arm around her.
"I think they're getting serious," Donatello said to Leonardo. He had come up from behind. Leonardo nodded and went into the practice room, Donatello followed. Michelangelo was the first to wake up and realized that Nancy was leaning on him. He gently shook her to wake her for practice.
"Nanc, time to get up," Michelangelo said softly. Nancy mumbled something and waved am arm like she was trying to push someone behind her away. "Nanc, practice, Splinter will be there soon." Nancy yawned this time and opened her eyes.
"Remind me why I agreed to practice," she asked.
"Because you like it," Michelangelo said.
"Oh, yeah." Nancy stretched, gave Michelangelo a kiss and went to change. She didn't see Splinter standing in his doorway, but Michelangelo did. He blushed slightly when his Sensei beckoned him to go into his room. Inside Splinter shut the door and turned to face Michelangelo.
"I just want to ask you a question," Splinter started. "Do you think it is wise to have her fall for you when we are working to get her back home to her world?"
"But Sensei," Michelangelo said. "I care very deeply for her too. In fact I think I'm falling in lo. . ." Splinter stopped Michelangelo before he could finish.
"I don't want Nancy hurt, I have grown very fond of her, but most of all, is I don't want you hurt, my son." Michelangelo thought that his heart was going to break. "You can skip practice this morning if you like but just think about what I said.
"Yes, Sensei." Michelangelo got up. He felt like he had a lump of lead in his chest where his heart should have been. Leaving Splinter's room, Michelangelo walked out of the lair. Nancy joined the rest of the guys in the practice room.
