Here's chapter 13! (About a month later.)

"Why in God's name do we have to go to a rehearsal dinner for a wedding which doesn't need rehearsing!" Mikey asked angrily.

"So that we know what to do wise guy!" April retorted.

"It's simple people walk down the isle, you and Don say you love each other and say I do you kiss, we have a party, there's food at the party and everyone's happy."

"So in your case this wedding would last about 15 minutes?"

"Exactly."

"You're not going to be wearing your dress are you?"

"Of course not!"

"OK just checking." Leo said.

At the rehearsal dinner….. "Donny I'm hungry and thirsty." Mikey whispered.

"Mikey there's some food over there but don't be so loud."

"Right-o." Donny smacked his forehead as Mikey crashed into a table.

An hour later… "Donny I have to go to the bathroom."

"Honestly you and Raph I swear. Why do you guys have such small uncontrollable bladders? I told you to go before we left!"

"That was then this is now, honestly Donny."

Angel, who was the bridesmaid elbowed Mikey in the ribs.

"OW! What'd you do that for?"

"Shut up shell for brains!" Angel snapped.

"Your just mad because you're not the maid of honor." Mikey snapped back.

"I am not! April's mother would've sawed her head off if April didn't make her the maid of honor." Angel shot back.

"OK listen I'm going to be quite honest with you Angel I really don't care I just have to go to the bathroom really bad." He eyed Donny.

"Oh for cripe sake go all ready!" Donny exclaimed. The priest eyed him quizzically.

"Sorry." Donny muttered.

"Donny where'd Mikey go?"

"He had to go to the little boys' room."

"Didn't you tell him to go before we left?"

"Yes, but he claims that was then this is now." April sighed in frustration.

At dinner… "OK now I'm getting mad, Mikey missed the whole rehearsal! I know he didn't want to come but you know that's life. Besides this is not making a very good impression on my mother." Donny paled just realizing what Mikey had done.

"I'll be right back." Donny said quickly getting up and leaving the table. Angel rolled her eyes and Leo and Raph got up and followed.

"What's wrong?" Leo asked in exasperation.

"Of all days for Mikey to be an idiot! I think he escaped by claiming that he had to go to the bathroom but really he snuck out the window."

"No."

"Yes."

"I have to admit that was clever on Mikey's part."

"Raphael." Leo said warningly.

"What? Usually he's an idiot but he had this whole scheme all planned out. Maybe Mikey's not that stupid after all."

"What are you drunk?" Leo asked.

"Guys can we please go find out where Mikey is?" Donny asked.

"That might help. Let's try his shell cell." Leo said.

Donny waited. They all froze when the answering ring came from inside the boys' bathroom.

"He probably left it there to trick us." Donny whispered.

"Why that sneaky son of a…." Raph was cut off when they swung open the door to find Mikey with a dazed look on his face.

"What's your problem? Are you constipated?" Raph asked. Leo smacked him in the arm.

"OW!"

"No, I'm love struck." Mikey said dreamily.

"WHAT?" The three brothers exclaimed.

"Did you see that flower girl? She was so pretty. Long red hair, tall, 15 years old, great sense of humor, yep I'm in love."

"How do you know all that stuff about her?"

"I was spying on her before the rehearsal.'

"Mikey will you get back out there! April's going to flip out if you don't show up soon!'

"OK.' Mikey said dreamily.

"There she is.' Mikey said again once entering the dining hall.

Donny rolled his eyes and sat down next to April.

"What's his problem?"

"He's in love with that girl over there." Donny said pointing his thumb in the direction of the red haired girl. "Is she a friend of yours?"

April paled. "No that's my 15 year old cousin Amanda, she's like my sister. The two ring bearers are her twin brothers Josh and Jeff their 16. Mikey's hitting on my cousin! Amanda's very wild, wait a second now where's she dragging him?" April asked as Amanda dragged Mikey by the hand and brought him into another room. April glowered after the couple.

Thirty minutes later Mikey came back in with a smile on his face. All he said to Donny was,

"I like it, I like it. Ooh! Ooh!"
