"They'll be asleep soon tonight." Cassi grinned. "I took them out on a long run." She punched Leo's right arm teasingly. "You should've come too. You would've had fun."
"I thought we were going out for a run by ourselves later." He reminded her, but Leo was grinning as well.
"We are; I have no intentions of doing anything else. I'll meet you later." She told him as she started off to her room. It was late, and they had to act normal. Master Splinter and the others couldn't know that they were planning on sneaking out. Leo watched the magenta wearing turtle leap gracefully to her room.

Leo sighed and decided to head up to his room as well. In just about an hour more, he and Cassi would be running free under the moonlight. As he leapt to the entrance, his thoughts hit him. Will I be able to make Cassi truly fall in love with me? I love her, I know it, but how does she feel about me? She kissed me once a while ago, but she admitted shortly before that that she had had a crush on me since she was young. She even told me that she loved me, but did Cassi really mean it? I guess time will tell.

The sun should have gone down now, I wonder if Cassi's left yet? Even from inside his room, Leo could hear his brother Michelangelo snoring loudly. Wow, Cassi must have really tired them out!
As he inaudibly stepped from his room, he could hear Raphael and Donatello snoring as well, but Mikey's was definitely the loudest of all. A grin spread across his face once more. Stealthily, he made his way out the door, and ran down the murky sewers to their meeting spot.
As usual, Cassi had beaten him there. The magenta masked turtle was whistling softly as she waited for him.
Leo just watched her for a while. She had no idea he was there. The soft starlight fell onto her face from the holes in the grating near her. Raising her head, her eyes sparkled brighter than the stars. Gosh, she's beautiful.
Cassi stopped whistling and hummed quietly to herself. A sudden noise, even though faint, made her look in Leo's direction. Her smile broadened when she saw him. Neither of them spoke for a moment, both just enjoying the peaceful magic of that moment.
"Hey." She finally said.
"Ready to go?" He asked and Cassi nodded.
The two headed for a ladder and climbed up to the surface. Staying in the shadows, Leo and Cassi made their way to the nearest fire escape. Each scaled the ladders easily and reached the rooftops in a short amount of time. Above them, the moon shone brightly.
