Disclaimer: No I don't own the TMNT nor do I own the song "Somebody's Hero"

A/N: Yes, this song is based off of, "Somebody's Hero" by Jamie O'Neal. I changed the lyrics a lot to make this work. It's really sweet guys, I think you'll enjoy it. This time, I'm gonna switch things. The lyrics are italicized and the actions are regular font. And the writing is different. I personally think it's better, but if you want it back to the way I was writing it, let me know. 'kay? Alrighty, hope y'all enjoy it.

Song 2: "Somebody's Hero"

Leo meditated in the lair, trying to get ready for the new day. As usual, he'd have to be the boss because of Master Splinter's death. Which meant, more glares from Raph and whines from Mikey. He was never appreciated for what he did, well that's what he thought anyway. Mike and Raph were watching TV and Don was in his room, packing. He felt like they were always testing him, and whenever he did something to protect them and they didn't like it, he felt unappreciated.

The only one who understood him was his ninja turtle girlfriend, Sheri who was cooking lunch right now. They'd been together for 3 years and he was thinking of proposing to her today. They were all 20.

He's never pulled anyone from a burning building
He's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans, screaming out his name
He's never hit a shot to win the game
He's never left his footprints on the moon
He's never made a solo hot air balloon ride, around the world,
No, he's just your everyday average guy (but)

"Raph, calm down!" Mike shouted from the couch. Leo opened his eyes and could make out Raph on top of Mikey, a look of pure anger on his face.

Leo leaped up and ran over to the monitor area. Raph held his fist up as if to punch Mike. As he brought it down, Leo caught his wrist and leaned him back, getting him off Mikey and pinning him to the ground.

Raph growled and slowly got up, then walked to the kitchen. Mike didn't say anything, he just simply smiled at Leo.

He's somebody's hero
A hero to his goofy, beatin'-on bro
How to pin Raph is all he needs to know
The leader of the turtle gang
The voice that tells them where to go
When they're on their nightly patrol
And Mike's smile lets him know
He's somebody's hero

Leo smiled back to Mikey and then walked back to his mat to continue his meditating. He had to figure out how to propose to the woman of his dreams.

Mike went back to watching TV, thankful that Leo had saved him.

Don came out of his room, carrying two bags.

"Well, guys, it's time for me to go." He said with a sad face as he came down the fire escape that lead to their rooms.

"Don are you sure you want to go?" Leo asked, standing up.

"I can't back out of going to college Leo. I've already sent my entrance fee and everything in. Thanks to you getting a bunch of jobs and helping me raise the money, I'm finally going to go get my bachelor's degree in biology." Don said happily.

Mike walked over. "Raphael! Sheri! Get your shells in here!" He hollered.

Sheri and Raph quickly walked out to the entrance/exit of the lair where Leo, Mike, and Don were already at.

"Here bro." Mike said, handing over a penny to Don. "For good luck." he finished.

"Thanks bro." Don said with a smile, taking the penny and stuffing it in his ninja belt. He hugged Mike, then Raph, then Sheri, then Leo.

Raph, Mike, and Sheri had said good-bye, good luck, we'll miss you and all that jazz, but with Leo it was different.

Don hugged him and whispered in his ear, "Thanks bro, I wouldn't be able to go without you getting those jobs and helping me. I love you."

He didn't get a check every week like a nine-to fiver
But he's been a waiter, and a cook and a taxi driver
For twenty years, there at home, until the day his bros were grown
Giving all his love to them was his life's ambition
But now his brother's movin' on, and he'll soon be missin' him
But not today, those are tears of joy runnin' down his face

"I love you too." Leo said, returning the hug, tears were coming down both of their faces.

"Bye guys." Don said, heading down the tunnel.

There was a chorus of "good-byes" from everyone but Leo.

As Don was about to take the corner, he looked back, making eye contact with Leo only and smiled.

He's somebody's hero
A hero to his brother with the packed bags
Who's goin to college in a taxi cab
It hurts to let his brother go down the tunnel he walks right by
Looks back into his brother's eyes
And Don's smile lets him know
He's somebody's hero

Leo smiled back and waved to his brother who disappeared around the corner of the tunnel. Raph went to his room, shutting the door loudly as he did.

Sheri and Mike went into the monitor area to watch TV.

Knowing that Raph was the most troubled of them all, Leo walked up the fire escape and knocked on Raph's door.

"Go away." Raph muttered.

"Please, Raph. Let me come in." Leo said, sincerely.

Raph sighed. "Alright. Come in." He muttered.

Leo pushed open the door and walked in to Raph's room. Raph was sitting on the floor, his shell leaned up against the back wall. He was sniffling a little.

"Raph you alright?" Leo asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Raph grumbled.

Leo gave him a "yeah right" look.

"Come on bro. You can tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone." Leo said.

Raph looked at him and then looked back at the floor.

"I'm worried 'bout Don." He said.

"Why? He's a ninja, he can handle himself."

"Yeah, but Leo, there are still people who are prejudice against mutants. What if there are a group of those people at the college and they jump Don?" Raph asked. "Or, the Foot? What if they get to him?" Raph added.

"He still has his shell cell. If he needs us, we're a phone call away." Leo said.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. But, I'm still gonna worry." Raph said.

"So am I, Raph. So am I." Leo said.

Leo kneeled by his red clad brother and put his hand on Raph's shoulder.

Raph stared at his feet for a minute and then pulled Leo into a hug.

He's somebody's hero
A hero to his worried bro
Giving good advice is all he needs to know
The leader of the turtle gang
He helps his bro fight his angered pain
Training will eventually make him change
And Raph's smile lets him know
He's somebody's hero

"Now, I have something that I got to do or I'm going to go nuts." Leo said.

"Oh yeah? What is that?" Raph asked with an amused smile.

"Well follow me and you'll see." Leo said, getting up and then helping Raph up.

They both walked down to the monitor area where Mike and Sheri were still watching TV.

"Raph, please have a seat." Leo said, motioning toward the couch.

Raph took a seat by Mike on the couch. Sheri was in the recliner, her attention on her boyfriend now.

"There is something that I must do guys." Leo said, taking the remote from Mike.

"Hey!" Mike whined.

"Just give me a minute Mike." Leo said, turning off the TV.

Leo then threw the remote onto the other seat and pulled out a small box.

He walked over to Sheri and bent on one knee.

"Sheri, I love you and we've been together for a long, long time and we've been through a lot together. And you've helped me through a lot in my life. I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of marrying me." Leo said, opening the box. In it, was just a plain gold ring.

"It isn't much, but it's all I could afford." Leo said.

Sheri smiled and hot tears of joy was trailing down her face.

He's somebody's hero
A hero to the turtle with the tears of joy
A life with him is something she'd enjoy
The leader of the turtle gang
Sees a great joy in her amber colored eyes
The one he sees when he saves her life
And her smile lets him know
He's somebody's hero

"Of course I'll marry you!" She said, hugging him tightly.

Leo smiled and when she let go of him, slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her. He then held her hands.

"Sheri you're my hero..." He whispered to her.

She's somebody's hero
A hero to the turtle holding her hand
He thinks she makes him a better man
The cooker of all the meals
The one who eases all the pain away
With her kisses and hugs he gains extra strength
And his smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero

Raph and Mike sat there with smiles on their faces.

"Finally bro! I was wondering when you were going to pop the question! This calls for celebration!" Mike exclaimed. "I'm ordering pizza!" he ran off into the kitchen to get the phone.

"Well, I better go after 'im and make sure he don't order nothin' disgustin' like last time." Raph said, following after Mikey.

"I guess this would be a good time to tell you." Sheri said.

"Tell me what?" Leo asked.

"I'm pregnant." She said.

Leo looked shocked at first, but then he smiled a huge smile.

She's somebody's hero...
