Chapter 32 "Mock Wedding"

A week later, Leo and I stood before our friends. April and Casey even decided to come and watch. James cooed in his mother's arms as she held him. We both knew that Mikey had planned something as a joke, we could tell thanks to the box and video camera. We were dreading what he could possibly have planned but then again, we didn't care al the same time.

Master Splinter asked us a few questions and we pledged our love to each other. Right after, Leo went to kiss me but Mikey pulled me away. Leo nearly lost his balance by falling forward.

"You can't kiss the bride yet," said Mikey.

"What? What do you mean?" asked Leo sounding almost annoyed.

Mikey ran to the box and threw me a bouquet of flowers and then ran over to me with a wedding veil and put it on my head, letting the veil cover my face. Then he ran back to the box and grabbed a bow tie and put it on Leo. I looked at May.

"I told you this would happen," said May.

"I wish I took you seriously," I said.

Then Mikey grabbed a random book from the bookshelf. Casey and April helped set up the camera. Mikey gave a pillow with two toy rings on it and handed it to Don. Then he grabbed a basket of flower petals and handed it to Lacy.

"Okay, Mikey, what are we supposed to be?" asked Lacy.

"Don's the ring bearer and you're the flower girl," said Mikey.

Leo and I laughed. It was pretty funny watching the craziness. Mike signaled to Casey and April to start the camera.

Mikey put a kazoo to his mouth and started playing "Here Comes the Bride." He had arranged for Master Splinter to give me away. Nicole and May were my bridesmaids. Don was the ring bearer, Raph was the best man or turtle, Lacy was the flower girl, and Mike was the priest (scary thought).

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union between Leonardo and Linnea. Blah blah blah! Alright, I don't know how this goes. So I'll make it easy. Leo, do you promise to love, honor, and cherish Linnea now and forever?" said Mikey.

"I do," said Leo, tenderly as he looked into my eyes.

"Lin, do you promise to do the same?" asked Mikey.

"I do," I said looking back into Leo's eyes.

"Then I pronounce you both turtle and wife. You may kiss the bride and make it good! I wanna video tape this," announced Mikey.

Leo shrugged. For a moment, he gave me a look saying 'happy to oblige.' He lifted the veil and kissed me deeply. He soon pulled away. The cheering didn't seem to stop. I felt myself blush as our friends and family cheered.

Soon, we found out that Mikey and May made a cake for a reception. I was amazed that it wasn't a pizza. Leo and I cut the cake together as a sign of our union. Mikey put on some music and he started trying to get everyone to dance which was a failed attempt until he put on one of my favorite slow J-pop songs, "Amulet", and pulled me and Leo onto the "dance floor." Leo and I danced close together for the first time ever. I never noticed how great of a slow dancer he was until that evening.

After the little celebration, Leo and I left the layer. He brought me to a crack in the wall a few miles away from the layer. He told me to wait out side and to come in when he called. I waited patiently until he called. Inside there was a mattress and a table. Candles were all around, Leo had finished lighting the last one.

"Leo, where are we?" I asked.

"In a place I would normally go to when I'm angry and don't want to show it. I've always kept the location to this place secret. I would often write in a journal in here," he said.

I nodded. It was very comfortable yet very peaceful. Soon I felt Leo wrap his arms around me from behind. I turned to face him. He was incredibly sweet. Slowly, he kissed me. Our kiss deepened as he slowly pulled me onto the mattress.

A/N: I'm almost positive that I don't have to tell you what they did. I'll let your mind do the thinking there. Hehehe.
