Now What?

It had been 5 years later, (they were 20 when they met) and Mikey and Mirabelle were as close as ever, today happened to be Mirabelle's birthday and Mikey had a surprise up his sleeve. He had painstakingly made sure him and Mirabelle had the lair to themselves and promised everyone else a proper party the very next day, everyone camped over at April's for the night.

"Ok just a few steps further...keep your eyes shut no peeking!" he warned holding a three-fingered hand over her eyes preventing her from seeing anything, and leading her protectively through the lair.

"Can I look yet?" she asked stepping carefully around things on the floor.

"Almost....now!" he took away his hand and Mirabelle's eyes widened in amazement at the trouble Mikey went to make her have a happy birthday.

"Mikey...you really really shouldn't have but I'm so glad you did!" she threw her arms around him and kissed him on the cheek before examining what he had done, in the middle of the kitchen was a cake with pink icing on the top that read 'Happy B-day Mira' she could definitely tell who baked it. Streamers and confetti suddenly floated through the air seconds after Mirabelle heard a *pop* and turned to see Mikey holding the string behind his back trying to look inconspicuous. Lastly, on the table a little boxed present sat in front of the cake bundled in pink and blue wrapping paper. "What's this?" she ripped the paper off and opened the red velvet box to find...a sterling silver necklace, with a light bluish purplish stone set into the delicate pendant.

"Happy Birthday Mira, here let me get that for you." he unclasped the chain and laid it gently on her neck before securing the clasp tightly.

"Its beautiful...but how did you ever find enough to pay for it...?" she asked.

"The guys chipped in some, in exchange...I have to do all of their shores for months, but I think it was worth it." he said shyly.

"I'll help you..." enraptured by this tender moment she slipped her arms around his neck and kissed him as passionately as one could do a thousand times over. Mikey kissed back just as emotionally as she moaned softly as he kissed her neck a few times. He suddenly swooped her up in his arms and headed to his bedroom and softly placed her on the bed before crawling up beside her and kissed her gently on the forehead.

"Mikey?"

"Yeah?"

"I wish this night would last forever..."

"Me too..." he caressed her hand and let his body take over.

The next morning Mikey woke up first and quietly padded to the bathroom for a 15 minute shower and soon get breakfast ready for Mirabelle. Who despite his efforts woke up at the same time and sneaked up on him at the bathroom door.

"Wah! Care to join me?" he asked carefully.

Mirabelle simply blushed like a ripe raspberry and nodded. Needless to say the shower was longer than 15 minutes.

Mikey soon started preparing Mirabelle's favorite dish, crepes with chocolate chips and icing sugar. They sat down facing each other and hungrily ate their breakfast. Not long after the guys started arriving to eat as well since April was running low on groceries despite the fact Mikey hadn't been there last night.

"Yo dudes!" Mikey greeted cheerfully at his brothers, Venus and Splinter as they entered the lair.

"Is Breakfast on? I'm starvin' bro" Raphael asked noticing his brother in orange was happier than usual.

"Yeah! In the pan! Help yourself!" he said pointing to the stove.

"Happy birthday M." said Don handing her a present, its from Leo, Splinter, me, Venus and Raph." he handed a medium sized box to her.

"Wonder what it is..." she opened the box to find, a collection of the books she had been hoping for and a pink bandanna like the ones that Don and his brothers wore. "Thanks guys!" she got up and gave everyone a hug and kiss on the cheek, even Splinter.

"Remember Mike, you gotta do my chores for three months!" Raph said with a laugh and ran to the den.

Guests arrived much later on and wished Mirbelle a happy birthday as well. She had grown pretty close to everyone and made a lot of friends in the past few years. Many gifts were given and opened, Mirabelle received a lot of gift certificates for movies and even games. Mikey's love for video games had rubbed off on her some and R.P.Gs were often played by her. And two player games played with Mikey or anyone who dared take her on. The big thing this year was a game called Dance Dance Revolution, which she played in two player mode with Mikey or by herself. She was getting pretty good at 'Burn the Floor'.

"C'mere Mira!" yelled Mikey. "America's Funniest Home Videos is on!"

"Coming!" she ran over and laughed at the stupid antics of the people daring enough to hand in their home movies, soon she was laughing to hard she was crying and Mikey was practically rolling around on the floor unable to stop the laughter.

"Ok breathe...haha! Hee hee! Oooo! That's gotta hurt!" Even Raph was getting into the humor which was very unorthodox for him.

After it was over Mirabelle started getting up to leave, she felt very weird and fuzzy all over. Mikey got up to stop her "Mira, what's wrong? Whose line is starting soon..." he said gently rubbing her arm.

"I'm ok Mikey, I'm just very tired that's all." she said and yawned sleepily.

"Alright I'll come to bed later though kay? Oh look at this news report..."

[Police have discovered the body of the scientist of 5 years ago by the name of Dirk Puck has been found missing from its grave in the local cemetary.]

Mirabelle gasped, the name still ran shivers through her spine. "I wonder who would steal his body...and why..."

"Its ok Mira, I'll never let anyone hurt you like he did ever again." he said putting his arm protectively around her and leading her to the bedroom and tucking her in. "Good night." he kissed her on the forehead and shut the door.

"G'night Mikey..." Mirabelle drifted off to sleep and had some very weird dreams that night.

In Mirabelle's dream she was walking down the street but nobody seemed to notice her mutation and walked by her. Suddenly out of nowhere a little kid walked up to her and told her to watch for the future. A man that resembled Dr. Puck snatched the child away and advanced towards her menacingly.

"No! Stay away!" Mirabelle picked up the first thing she felt beside her which was a baseball bat. Which in reality was Mike's arm which startled him awake.

Meanwhile in Mirabelle's dream she was pinned down by the evil man and was struggling while screaming "No! Leave me alone!"

Mikey noticed this and started shaking her awake. "Mira! Wake up...its just a dream!"

Her eyes suddenly snapped open and she saw Mikey's worried face looking down at her. "Oh Mikey! I had a scary dream..." she snuggled up next to him holding on to his arm shivering a little.

"Its ok now, " he soothed. "Its ok, it was just a dream." he knew better than to ask her what it was about, when he was little he never wanted to tell anyone his nightmares.

"It was so real..." she nodded off to sleep again and was nightmare-free for the rest of the night.

A/N ok..the love scene was very hard to write...please don't laugh at me! Hope you liked it! Chapter 2 will hopefully soon follow!
