The four girls quickly switched, Venus and Jen grabbing some of the slips
that had been filled out already. They handed them to Mikey, who began
calling people up to sing. After almost two hours, Venus went to get
herself a drink, when she saw Raph standing in a corner. She debated
whether or not to talk to him, and decided that she might as well, since
she had just found out that he had broke up with his girlfriend, and wanted
to know why. She picked up a drink, and slowly made her way over to Raph.
Walking right up to her, and she gently tapped him on the shoulder. He
turned around, and Venus said a meek hi. He responded by smiling a little,
and motioning for her to sit down. The two of them began to talk, not
noticing the looks they were receiving from their friends. While they were
talking, Claudia, a new girl at the school, took the stage and began to
sing.
Don't know how you do it
Like there's nothing to it
You just look my way
Leo and Donny looked at each other as the song began. "Jeez, I wonder why she's singing that one. I thought she already had a boyfriend?" Donny asked. Leo thought for a minute, and then looked around. "Hey look," he said, nudging Donny, "Venus and Raph are talking over there. What do you think they're talking about?" Donny shrugged, and then looked back at them.
You come a little closer
I lose my composure
Don't know what to say I don't know why
You smile I melt
And somewhere inside
O baby I
REFRAIN
Shiver, tremble
I've never, no I've never once felt so much
It shakes me how you take me
Deeper than I've ever been
It's to the core under my skin
I shiver
I love the way your whisper
Slowly softly lingers
In my ear
You move a little lower
The world starts spinning slower
Then it disappears
Your lips so close
We kiss almost
Just barely touch
But that's enough to make me
REFRAIN
Venus and Raph finished there discussion as the song ended, then sat there in silence. Raph watched her for a minute, and then decided to go for it. He slowly leaned down, and kissed her gently. Venus froze for a second, and then quickly pushed him away. Raph looked at her guilty, and then got up to leave. Venus stopped him with her hand, and got up herself. She looked at him, and then walked out of the room. Raph followed her, confused at the looks she had given him. Figuring that he would find out soon, he followed her in silence. Venus led him outside, right next to where they had all parked. Suddenly, she turned around and kissed him. Raph responded by wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer. Venus laid her head on Raph's shoulder, and he just held her for a minute. Venus mumbled something, and Raph looked at her.
"What was that?" He asked her, curiosity taking over. "What happened to your girlfriend?" Venus asked him, pushing away from him. Raph looked away, and then looked back at her. "We broke up, we both realized that we weren't getting anything from the relationship, and decided that it was time to move on, that's all." Venus looked at him for a minute, which got Raph nervous, since he thought that she was mad at him. Venus looked at him and smiled. "What's wrong Raph, do I scare you or something." Raph just looked back at her, and touched her hair gently.
"No, I just thought that you were mad at me or something, you looked pretty mad." Venus looked at him and laughed. "Don't worry Raph, I'm not mad at you, just surprise that you two all of the sudden just broke up. It seems a little weird to me, that's all." Raph looked at her and sighed. "Well, it's not. We just decided that it was time to break up, that's all." "Don't get testy with me Raphael, alright." Venus told him, starting to get a little upset. Raph took her hand, and wrapped his arms around her. "Venus, we just broke up. There's no reason why, we just realized that we both want more than a relationship based on a purely physical attraction. We didn't have much in common, that's all there is to it." Venus looked at him, and smiled.
"Alright, you big idiot, I believe you." Raph looked at her, and smiled. "I thought that you would agree." With that he pulled her into his arms, and kissed her again. Jen ran around the gym, looking for Venus. "Where is she, where is she?" Jen mumbled under her breath, looking all over the place. Heather noticed the look on her face, and called her over. "What's up Jen?" Jen looked at heather, her face beaming. "Mikey and I are back together!!!!" Heather was so excited that she jumped up and hugged Jen. "That's so great, I'm so happy for you two!!!!" Jen and Heather hugged for a minute, jumping up and down like idiots.
"What are you two doing?" Venus asked, all of the sudden appearing behind them. Jen turned around, and hugged her. "Mikey asked me back out!!" Venus stood and looked at her in shock, which surprised both of the girls. "Venus, what's wrong?" Heather asked, surprised at Venus's shocked reaction. Venus looked at both of the girls, before grinning herself. Running her fingers' through her hair, she smiled and said "Raph and I just hooked up." Both of the girls looked at Venus in shock, and then hugged her. "I'm so happy that you two finally hooked up, god it's been like forever." Jen told her, while Heather and Venus laughed. "Well, what was I suppose to do?" He never asked me before, and he was acting like such a jerk before."
Heather grinned to herself, which Venus and Jen both noticed. "What's with that smile, Miss Heather?" Venus asked her, and Jen peered at her. Heather looked at both of the girls before grinning again and saying "Nothing." Venus looked at her again, and put up a fist. "You're just lucky.." She mumbled, before turning back to Jen. "Do you think they planned this, or what?" Jen looked at Venus and nodded. "Of course they planned it, what you think they did; just all of the sudden decided to ask us both out again. Venus just looked at Jen. "Well, I guess that is something those two would do, isn't it?" Venus agreed, and laughed. "They can read each other's minds like they're twins, so it definitely wouldn't surprise me at all." Venus told Jen, who laughed. Heather walked back up to the girls, and motioned for them to get closer to her, which they both did. "Do you two really want to know what I was thinking about before?" Both of the girls gave her a 'duh' look. "Well, I figured since you two are hooked up, and I'm hooked up, we should all get married together!!"
Jen looked at Heather before grinning. "Actually, Mikey and I were talking about getting married, and we're thinking about doing it." "That's great Jen!!" Heather said before hugging her. Venus just looked at them and rolled her eyes. Before she could say anything, Raph appeared. "Hey Raph!!" The three girls called, and Heather gave him a smile. "So I heard you finally got a clue and asked this girl out." Raph grinned and wrapped his arm around Venus. "Well, I couldn't resist her, she's just too cute." Venus gave him a look before pecking him on the check. "You girls know where Mikey is?" Jen asked, looking around. "Speaking of Mikey," Venus said, staring at Raph, "did you two happen to discuss this little hook-up scheme, or where you two hoping that we wouldn't realize what you were doing?" Raph looked at Venus a minute before grinning sheepishly. "Alright, I'll admit it. We did talk about it a little bit." Venus looked at Jen and laughed. "So we were right, huh Jen." Grinning, Jen nodded back. Raph gave both of them a look, then groaned. "Great, now this means we're going to double date, doesn't it." Venus looked at him with a big grin on her face. "No Raph, we're going to get MARRIED together!!!"
Raph gave Venus a shocked looked before falling on the floor. "Well that got him to shut up, good job Venus!!" Heather said, giving Venus a high five. Raph came to after a minute, groaning and holding his head. "What happened? All I remember is someone talking about marriage, and then I fell and hurt my head." The three girls laughed, and Venus crouched down next to Raph. "No, honey, you fell when I told you that we're getting married." Raph looked at her in shock. "When did this happen?" He stuttered, trying to remember what had happened in the past few hours. "Geez Raph, we were just kidding, learn to take a joke." Jen told him, and then turned her back on him. "I need to find my boyfriend." Raph stared at her back before pointing at the stage. "I saw him there a few minutes ago, but I don't know if he's still there, Jen." "Thanks Raph, I appreciate it." Jen told him, and then got up to go see her boyfriend, leaving Venus, Heather, and Raph alone.
Just then, Brian came up with a drink for Heather. "I take it you two got together." He said to Venus and Raph, who nodded. Heather looked at him strangely. "You knew that Raph was going to ask Venus out and you didn't tell me? What kind of boyfriend are you?" Brian looked at Heather and muttered "Sorry. Leo told me, and he said that Raph didn't want any of you girls knowing, since he was afraid that you would tell Venus before he got a chance to ask her." Heather then turned her look onto Raph, who backed up, knowing that he would be in major trouble.
Leo looked over at Mikey, who was talking to Jen. Walking over to them, he grinned at them. Just then, someone started a new song. Leo looked up and was surprised to see that it was Danielle, who didn't really like singing. He wondered who it was for, then realized it as she began singing it. Chill out, what you yelling for Lay back, it's all been done before And if you could only be you will see I like you the way you are When we're driving in your car And you're talking to me one on one But you've become somebody else In front of everyone else You're watching your back Like you can't relax, trying to be cool, You look like a fool to me REFRAIN Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else Gets me frustrated Life's like this, you fall and you crawl and you break
and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no
You come over unannounced
dressed up like you're somethin' else
where you are and where it's at you see
you're making me
laugh out when you strike your pose
take off all your preppy clothes
you know you're not fooling anyone
when you've become
Somebody else round everyone else
Watching your back, like you can't relax
Trying to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me
REFRAIN
As the song ended, Leo turned back to Mikey and Jen. "So I heard that you two finally hooked back up, congrats." He said, giving Mikey a hi-five. "Yeah, well you might wanna go help out Venus. She almost gave Raph a heart attack, something about a triple wedding or something." Jen laughed, and then looked at Leo. "Heather, Venus and I were joking that since we've all hooked up now, we should have a wedding together." Leo groaned, almost falling on the ground. "Please, tell me that you're not serious. I'm getting major headaches just from the one we already have going on." Jen laughed, and put her arm around Leo. "Don't worry, we were just joking, it's not going to happen." Leo let out a sigh, and smacked Mikey on the back. "That's good, cause I never pictured Mikey getting married when I don't even have a girlfriend."
The group laughed, and Mikey gave Leo a look. "Your just jealous that I'm so much more good looking than you Leo." Mikey said, turning around and sticking his hand up in front of Leo. "Talk to the hand." He said, and Leo laughed. Mikey then took Jen's hand. "Come on, sweetie, we have some making up to do." With that he waved to Leo and marched off with Jen in tow. Leo chuckled and shook his head. "He needs to get checked out, 'cause there's something wrong with that boy." Leo then turned and went off in search of Venus and Raph, who he had to start harassing.
Don't know how you do it
Like there's nothing to it

Leo and Donny looked at each other as the song began. "Jeez, I wonder why she's singing that one. I thought she already had a boyfriend?" Donny asked.
