Author's Notes:

Sorry if it's been awhile since I've posted a new chapter for this fic. My computer has been acting up, and I just want to use it has target practice it. *evil grin* Anyway, here is chapter nine. Btw: I know the title of the this chapter kind of sucks but I couldn't think of any other ones. Sorry. Also, there was an error in this fic that I fixed. Casey doesn't know who "Sydney" really is yet. Thanks to Shawndra Ridge to pointing that out.

A message to Shawndra Ridge: I really don't remember Leo falling in love with Lotus because I can not for the life of me remember that eppys. An online friend told me about that and she told me what Lotus looked like and I still don't remember. Oh well... I'll try to bring up into this fic maybe but then if I did that I would bring up the Mitsuo (spelling could be wrong there). Mikey fell in love with her when they went back into time in the third movie. I don't want this fic to get too complicated. I'll think of something though. I also remember him liking Kala, the Netrinos (spelling wrong on this too I'm sure). I have that eppy and the sad thing is, I still watch it. LOL!

Chapter Nine: Lunch Break:

Casey didn't have time to April by the time she got home the following night because it had gotten late. He had to wait the following day to talk to her. Before April left for work, Casey told her what Buffy told him the night before.

"You've got to be kidding!" was April's reply when Casey was done telling her about the night before. "He showed himself to her?"

"Yup, that's what Sydney said." Casey replied.

"Oh, when I get my hands on him, I'm going to kill him!" April yelled. "I wonder if Splinter knows about this?"

"I don't know, but I really wouldn't want to be there when he does hear about Raph's adventure last night."

"How was Sydney when you saw her?" asked April.

"She seemed fine." Casey answered. "Speaking of her, she asked me to if I could tell you if you would met her at Pizza Palace."

"Okay, why?"

"I have no idea." replied Casey.

"All right, well I'll stop by when I'm on lunch." April said. "See you later." she then kissed Casey on the check and left.

At noon, April was glad to go on break. Her day had been pretty busy so far. When she was on her break, she left for the Pizza Palace.

When April had made it to the Pizza Palace, she went in and sat herself down at a booth. A few seconds later, a waitress came up and said: "Hi, welcome to Pizza Palace. My name is Sydney and I will be your server today..." Buffy stopped and noticed that the new customer was April. "Well, I guess Casey gave you my message."

"Yeah, he did but he didn't say why you wanted to see me." replied April with a smile. "I guess you got the job."

"Yup, I sure did." Buffy answered happily.

"How is it going so far?" asked April.

"Pretty good." Buffy said. "The people here are really nice."

"I know." replied April. "So anyway, Casey also told me about what happened last night."

"Oh," Buffy replied.

"Yeah, would you like to talk about it now or later?" asked April.

"Well, I don't get a break till another hour." she answered with a sigh. "Would you mine if I come over to your place later tonight."

"Yeah, I will try to get off early tonight." April said.

"All right, well, I better get back to work," said Buffy. "So, here is your menu," she said, handing her a menu. "Would you like a few minutes to look over the menu?"

"Sure," April answered.

Buffy left and then came back a few minutes later and April gave her, her order. Then Buffy went to get her food and gave it to April, she went to another customer who came in. After April finished her lunch, she said: "Goodbye," to Buffy then went back to work.

Below, the turtles were also just finishing up lunch. The guys had their regular weird toppings pizza (that Casey had got them earlier that day), while Venus and Splinter were enjoying some raw fish and hot tea. They were all talking except Raph. He kept to himself. Mikey noticed this and decided to ask him about it.

"Okay, Raph," he said to him. "What's with the silent treatment?"

Everyone turned their attention to Raph. He didn't answer right away. Raph didn't tell them about his little run with Sydney and the three thugs. He just kept that to himself. Raph just thought it would be better that way since he would be lectured to death about him showing himself to her.

When Raph didn't answer, Leo replied: "Are you still mad about the fight we had the other day because I apologized for that."

"Oh, and that's suppose to make it all better?" asked Raph.

"No, but at least I got ya talking." Leo said with a grin.

"Speaking of that fight," Splinter spoke up. "Leonardo, I want to speak to you when you are done."

"Yes, Master Splinter." answered Leo.

A few moments later, Leo finished his last piece of pizza, and he and Splinter went a few feet away. Raph looked their way and noticed that Splinter wasn't being very harsh with him. That figures, thought Raph.

After the Leo and Splinter finished, Leo came back as well as Splinter. "Did you fix everything Splinter?" asked Venus when he sat down.

"Well," said Splinter. "For now I did. They will probably fight again."

"Maybe I should talk to Leo." Venus offered.

"That sounds like a good idea." replied Splinter. "How about you do it later though?"

Venus nodded and went back to eating lunch. The guys were quiet when Leo came back and sat down with them. However, they were not quiet for long.

"So, are you guys cool or what?" asked Donnie to Leo and Raph.

Leo and Raph exchanged looked before one of them answered. "I'm over it over it Raph is." said Leo.

"Yeah, whatever..." Raph replied.

"All righty then." said Mikey going back to eating the pizza.

Up top, Buffy was on her lunch break. She was enjoying a nice slice of pizza and drinking a coke. As she ate she made a mental note to stop by April's to talk to her about what happened last the other night.

After her break was over, she went back to waiting tables and cleaning up. A few hours later around six o' clock, her shift was over, and she left. She was heading to April and Casey's apartment.
