Chapter 12
"Will you be my wife?"
Leonardo ran through the practice room and through the kitchen. Dang my luck, she's not here, thought Leo. He then ran through the den, nearly bumping into Raphael.
Raphael followed Leo with his eyes. Then he saw Leo nearly bump into Mikey and Donny. The three brothers watched Leo. Then they looked at each other.
"What was that all about?" asked Donatello.
"Good question, dude," said Mikey.
"Geez, he was running as if the world was going to end in five minutes," commented Raph.
"Love can do this to the best of us, my sons," said Master Splinter, startling the other three turtles.
"Does this mean Sachi will be staying here forever?" asked Mikey.
"I do not know. That is only up to Leonardo," said Master Splinter with a smile.
The turtles looked at him and then at each other. Mikey smiled.
Leonardo ran to his room where he found Sachi there laying on his bed reading. Tears were still in her eyes from the trial but she was feeling a bit better about it. He gathered all his strength and walked into "his" room. This feels like I'm asking her out all over again, thought Leo.
"Sachi, are you alright?" asked Leo.
"Yea, I'm just upset from the trial still. Not to mention that I'll be leaving to go back to college soon," sighed Sachi.
Leo sat on the edge of the bed. Slowly, he stroked her hair. Well, it's either now or never, thought Leo as he looked at Sachi.
"Sachi, the letter that your father wrote to me asked me to do something.very important to him," he stated.
Sachi looked up. What is he up to, thought Sachi. She knew about the letter but she never knew what it said.
"Sachi, your father asked me to ask you to," started Leo.
"Shh.shut up he's gonna ask her," said a voice from the door way.
"No way, you shut up. You're louder," said another.
"Quiet, he'll hear us," once again, said another.
"Sachi, excuse me," said Leo.
Leo got up and went to the door way and looked around the entrance. There he found Raph, Don, and Mikey fighting about how loud they were being.
"Umm.guys. I can hear you all," stated Leo.
"What we missed it?" said Mikey, fumbling with the camera around his neck.
"Whatever. This isn't your business. Times, if you guys are gonna spy on me and Sachi, be a ninja about it and stay quiet," laughed Leo.
Leo shut the door to his room, knowing that they were still going to be outside but at least the camera wouldn't be going off if Sachi accepted. He walked back to her.
"Sachi, I apologize for the interruption," said Leo.
"Don't worry about it, Leo," said Sachi as she stood to meet his gaze, "Now what was it that you were saying?"
"I wanted to know, if you. you would be my wife," studdered Leo as he got down on one knee showing her the ring Shredder asked him to use.
Sachi stood there speechless. She had no idea what to say other than yes. She smiled and got down to his level. Then she gave him a deep, passionate kiss. It wasn't long before they broke. Leo smiled.
"I guess I should take that as a yes," said Leo.
Sachi nodded. Leo was just about to slip the ring on to her slender ring finger when suddenly, Mikey jumped in and started to take pictures.
"Come on, one of you getting the ring on her finger," said Mikey.
Leo laughed and he slipped the ring onto her finger. Then he stood up.
"Sachi, I'm sorry to leave you but I'm gonna go kill Mikey," said Leo.
Mikey ran out of the room with Leo in hot pursuit. Sachi watched them and started to laugh. Then she saw Don and Raph enter the room.
"Welcome to the family," said Don, as he hugged her.
"Yea, you're not so bad," said Raph.
Sachi laughed at Raph's words. She was glad to be welcomed into the family. Now she had to wait five years for her father to get out of prison before the wedding could take place.
