Author's Notes:

Sorry for the long update. I swear I'm having the biggest writer's block with this fic. I don't know why either. Probably because it's my first real big crossover. I don't know. LOL! Oh well, at least I'm getting some good reviews from you guys. :) Btw: please excuse any grammar errors. A friend of mine betas this for me but she can't at the moment.

My friend who betas this for me is back! Chapters 11 - 14 will be reposted. Thanks Showndra Ridge!

Chapter Eleven: Night Visitor:

Back in NYC...

Buffy couldn't meet with April and Casey like she had planned. She was called into to work again because someone claimed they were sick and couldn't come in. Buffy didn't mind at all. The more hours she worked, the more she got paid. Her first paycheck was coming in a few weeks and she couldn't wait. Since she had to work again, she had meet with April and Casey the following night.

Buffy was now in front of April and Casey's apartment. She knocked a couple of times, and Casey opened the door. "Hey, glad you could make it."

"Thanks." said Buffy. "Can I come in?"

"Yeah," Casey answered. "Go ahead into the living room. April is all ready in there. Would you like a drink?"

"Tea would be great if you have some."

"Coming right up." replied Casey as he let Buffy in. He closed to the door. Casey went into the kitchen and Buffy went into the living room.

"Hey Sydney," April said to Buffy when she saw her. She was on the sofa. "Please sit down."

"Thanks." said Buffy and she sat next to April.

As she did so, Casey came into the living room with drinks for everyone. He handed April and

Buffy their drinks. Then he took his on drink and sat down in a chair that was a few feet away from the sofa.

"So," April started as she took a sip of her drink and then put it aside. "Ready to talk about that turtle you told us about?"

"Yeah," answered Buffy, taking a few sips of her tea and then put it aside as well. "I guess I should start from the beginning uh?"

She then told them about the night she met Raph, and the thugs that he saved her from.

When she was done with that, April asked: "Is that all that happened?"

"Pretty much." answered Buffy. "At first I thought I was dreaming but I figured that I wasn't.

"The funny thing is, I really wouldn't mind seeing Raph again."

April and Casey exchanged looks. "Really? Why?" Casey asked.

"To thank him again, and just to see him again." said Buffy. "I want to know his story and if there are any more like him."

"Quick question," April replied. "Have you told anyone else about this?"

"No," answered Buffy quickly. "I didn't want other people to think I was crazy."

"Then why did you tell us?" Casey asked.

"Because you two are the only friends I have here and I had to tell someone before I completely lost it." said Buffy.

"I see." April said. "Well, don't worry. We don't think you're crazy."

"That's good to know." replied Buffy with a laugh. She then looked up at a clock that was on a nearby wall. "I guess I should go now because it's getting late."

Casey and April turned to the clock and saw it was getting late. "I'll walk you to the door." April said as she and Buffy got up.

When they were at the door, April said: "If you run into this turtle again. Please, let me know okay?"

"Sure, no problem." answered Buffy. The friends said: "Goodbye," to one another, and then Buffy left.

When Buffy was gone, April went back to the living room. "I'm glad she didn't ask us if we knew Raph." she said to April.

"Yeah, I know." Casey agreed. "Or we would have had a lot of explaining to do."

"I say we go talk to Raph about this." suggested April. "I bet you he hasn't told the others yet."

"Probably not." Casey replied. "You want to go now, or tomorrow?"

"Let's just get this over with." said April. "I'll call them first just to make sure it's all right if we can come down." April then got up and went to the phone to call the turtles.

Below, the turtles and Splinter were just getting ready to go to bed when they heard the phone ring. "I'll get it!" yelled Mikey as he dashed for the phone. He got to the phone, but not before knocking everything in his path over, and he answered it: "Hello?"

"Mikey. Hey, it's April."

"Hi, what's up?"

"Nothing much. Look, is Raph around? I need to speak to him."

"Hold on." he said into the receiver. Mikey turned to Raph. Raph was going to his room. "Hey Raph! April wants to talk to ya!"

Raph went to Mikey and took the phone from him. "What's going on April?"

"I was just wondering if Casey and I can come down and talk with you." she answered on the other line.

"Well, we are about to go to bed here."

"Then do you think you could come up and drop by?"

"What is this about?"

"Sydney."

Great, thought Raph. Sydney must have told April and Casey about me. Why do I have this feeling they're going to kill me for this one?

"Raph, you still there?" asked April.

"Yeah, I'm here." Raph answered. "Okay, I'll be up in a few minutes." with that, Raph hung up the phone. When he turned to leave, he found the stares of his brothers and Venus on him. "What?"

"Are you going to see April?" asked Leo.

"Yeah, got a problem with that?" Raph asked.

"It's too late to go anywhere." replied Leo. "Master Splinter won't like the fact that you're going out."

"Well, go tell him then Mr. High and Mighty! I don't really care." Raph then stormed out of the den.

"Okay, that went well." said Mikey.

"Mikey..." Donnie said with an eye roll.

"What?" asked Mikey.

"Never mind." Donnie said.

Leo ignored Donnie and Mikey and was about to chase after Raph, but he was stopped by Venus. "Just let him go Leo."

"But..." protested Leo.

"Besides, I would like to talk to you anyway." Venus said to him. She turned to Mikey and Donnie. "Alone."

"I guess that's our cue Don." Mikey replied. "Night guys."

"Yeah, night." said Donnie.

The two walked off and went into their rooms. Venus and Leo were now alone. Leo didn't know what she wanted to talk to him about. He would just have to wait and see.

Raph made his way towards Casey and April's apartment. He had entered their apartment from the roof so he wouldn't be seen by anyone. When he was in their apartment, they were all ready waiting for him in the living room.

He was going to say: "Hey," but April didn't give him a chance. "Are you crazy for showing yourself to Sydney?!"

"Gee, hey, to you too." Raph replied sarcastically.

"Don't start with me Raph!" yelled April. "What on earth were you thinking?"

"Look, she was in trouble and she was the one who asked me to myself." Raph answered.

"Then what happened?" asked April.

"For once, a person I helped save didn't scream or run away." Raph continued. "Then she introduced herself and I introduced myself."

April cooled down a bit. "Okay. I guess I should apologize then." she said to him.

"It's cool." replied Raph.

"Look, just next time please think about before showing yourself to anybody." April told him.

"I mean you know that other people might react to you differently."

"Yeah, I know." he said.

April was about to say something else, but Casey spoke up. "Quick question, do the others know about you meeting Sydney?"

"No, not yet." answered Raph.

"How come you haven't told them yet?" April asked. Then she knew that answer. They would yell at him like she had done. "Don't answer that. I have a good idea why."

"We talked to Sydney today about you." replied Casey, after April was finished.

"Really?" Raph asked. "What did she have to say? Is she okay?"

"Yeah, she's okay." answered Casey. "In fact, she wants to see you again."

"Why?" Raph asked.

"She wants to know more about you..." said Casey.

"And if there are anymore like you." April added.

"What should I do then?" asked Raph. "Should I tell her about us?"

"I think you should tell the others first." April answered. "Then if it's all right with Splinter you

should have Sydney come down and meet the others."

"I guess I should tell them." replied Raph with a sigh. "I just don't know how."

"Just tell them the truth." April said. "Would it help if Casey and I come down when you tell them?"

"I dunno," answered Raph.

"Look, think about it." April told him. "You need to tell them. Take my advise, it's better to tell them sooner or later."

"Yeah, well, I guess I should tell them tomorrow. It's too late tonight." he paused before he continued. "Speaking of which, I better be going."

"All right," April said. "We will see you tomorrow."

"Right." Raph then headed out the window.

When Raph was out of sight, Casey turned to April and asked: "Do you think we should tell Sydney that we knew of the turtles and Splinter?"

"We will tell her about that after Raph tells the others about her." answered April. "I think that will work better."

Raph was now on the roof of April's apartment. He was going to make his way back down to the den but he stopped when he saw Buffy in her apartment. She was in the living room, and he could see that she was on the sofa reading. Raph wanted to see how she was doing so he tapped on the window.

Inside, Buffy was reading when she heard tapping on her window. She put her book aside and went to the window. When she was at the window, she opened, and was surprised to see Raph. "Raphael? I was wondering when I would see you again."

"Mind if I come in?" he asked her.

"Not at all." she answered, and let him in.

Below, in the den, Donnie, Mikey, and Splinter were all ready in bed. The only ones who were up were Leo and Venus. Venus wanted to talk to him about something, and now the two were on the sofa.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" asked Leo.

"I want to know if there was anymore to that fight you guys had awhile ago." she answered.

"I told you and Splinter everything." Leo lied.

"Then why do I have feeling you're keeping something from me?" Venus asked.

"Because you're being paranoid." he replied.

Venus studied his face. She could tell he was still handing something. Venus decided to drop the subject, for now, anyway. "Well, since you won't tell me, I will tell you that you and Raph need to calm down." she said to him. "You had no right to bring up the fact that he still likes April."

"Are you taking his side now?" Leo asked.

"No, I'm not taking anyone's side." she assured. "I'm just saying you should just think before you say something like that."

"Well, he started it!" he replied. "He was the one who was making fun of me for having feelings for you!"

"What did you say?" she asked, not believing what was coming out of Leo's mouth.

Oh boy, that was real smooth. Leo thought. Great, now she knows. Now, she'll probably think I'm crazy.

"You like me?" Venus asked.

"Yeah," answered Leo. "I wanted to tell you so many times but I chickened out."

Venus replied: "Well, I like you too."

"You do?"

"Yeah," she answered with a smile.

The two then leaned in and exchanged a kiss. When they parted, they heard: "Aww..." The two turned to see Mikey and Donnie standing there watching them.

Leo gave them a cold glare. "What are you guys? Spies?"

"We just couldn't sleep." answered Mikey with a laugh. "We were wondering when you two would finally get together!" he said. "Raph is going to flip when he finds out about this."

"Someone needs to get a camera." Donnie replied. "It's a Kodak moment."

"All right, lay off with the jokes you guys." said Venus.

"Hey, speaking of Raph," Leo said. "Is he back yet?"

"No, why?" asked Mikey.

"Because it's getting late." Leo answered. "He should be back by now."

Back up-top, Raph was now in Buffy's apartment. She had let him through the window. "I hope it's not too late for me to stop by." Raph said to Buffy when he was in her apartment.

"Nah, don't worry about it." replied Buffy. "I'm night owl."

"I just came by to see how you were doing."

"I'm fine." she answered. "I was wondering when I would see you again."

"Well, here I am." he replied.

"So, uh," Buffy started. "I have a question for you."

"Shoot."

"I know I'm being noisy but I can't help it." she said with a laugh. "I was just wondering, are there others like you?"

"What if there were?" asked Raph. He wasn't trying to be snide or anything but he wanted to see if he could trust her enough to tell her about the others.

"I wouldn't be bothered by it." she answered. "I wouldn't tell anyone either, they would probably think I was crazy or something." Buffy assured. "I just want to know that there are others because I don't want to think that you are the only one. You know what I mean?"

"Yeah, I know." he said. Raph thought about this for a second then said: "There are more like me." he paused before continuing. "But I haven't told them that I've met you yet and I would like to tell them before you know our story."

"Understandable." Buffy replied. "Would I be able to meet the others and how many are there?"

"There are four others like me." he answered. "And once I tell them about you, I'm going to have to get the okay from them."

"That's fine by me." said Buffy with a smile.

Raph then told her: "Well, I think I better get out of here, it's getting late."

"All right," said Buffy. She walked with him to the window. Before he left, Buffy told Raph. "It was good seeing you again Raphael."

"You too." with that said, Raph disappeared into the night and headed back to the den.

Back in the den, Leo was waiting up for Raph, and Venus was up as well. Mikey and Donnie finally went to bed. At the moment, Leo was pacing around the den saying under his breath:

"I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him. Oh, he's dead one he gets home." Of course he was talking about Raph.

"Leo, will you please go to bed?" Venus said to him.

"No, I'm waiting up for him." he replied. "That way I can be the first to kill him."

Venus shook her head. "How about you go to bed and I'll wait up for him."

Leo was about to reply when Raph came in. Leo was going to start yelling at him but Venus stopped him. "How about we all go to bed?" she suggested. "Then in the morning we can talk about this?"

"Fine." Raph said as he walked off to his room.

"He's impossible." said Leo to Venus when Raph was out of sight.

"I know but he's your brother." she replied. "Now, please go to bed. We can handle this in the morning."

"All right." said Leo.

The two then went to their own rooms and went to bed. As Leo slept, he dreamt of the many ways he could kill Raph. Raph was going to get it.

To Be Continued...

Author's Notes: (continued):

So, I paired Leo with Venus. I hope no one minds that. Btw: that Kodak line is from the first movie. I had to put that in because that's one of my favorite lines. :) Anyway: as you can tell I'm not really good with the romance but hey, I can try right? Also, I told you the chapters would get better and longer. I made them longer so I can get some side storylines out of the way like the whole Leo/Venus romance thing. I'll post the next chapter soon. Until then...
