Amanda was woken up by a loud snore, she was lying down in a sleeping bag and she saw she was in a tent. She sat and rubbed her eyes and saw it was Raph who was snoring,

" For god sake." she whispered but still smiled, she looked around and saw a pillow on the floor, she picked it up then threw it at Raph then quickly lead back down and closed her eyes.

As the pillow hit Raph he woke up and saw Amanda giggling under her covers,

" Hey! I'm trying to sleep." he said

" Well so am I, stop snoring!" she replied and sat up and faced him.

" I told you already, I don't snore." he said.

" Raph, you do. I've been asleep near you for like ages, I should know."

" You don't know shit! Now leave me alone!" he said and rolled over and began to snore again. Amanda smiled, she thought about her and Raph and how close they were getting, but she was also thinking about what happened to her and his brothers, the last thing she could remember was that she and Leo were running, she sat up ad looked at Raph, a few minutes later she decided she couldn't stand his snoring anymore so she threw another pillow at him, he sat up and looked at her.

" Stop it!"

" Only when you stop snoring." she giggled.

" I don't snore!" he said.

" Raph you do, just admit it." she smiled then threw another pillow at him, he picked it up ad threw it back at her.

" Raph, it's simple, stop snoring and we can both get more sleep." she replied and grabbed the pillow.

" No, if I want to snore then I will." he said and grabbed another pillow ready if Amanda threw one back at him.

Amanda smiled, " So, why am I sharing a tent with you?" she asked trying to change the subject.

" What don't you want to sharing a tent with me?" he asked looking sad.

" No need to give me that look, I was just asking." she said

" Well, April was gonna share with you but she insisted she share one with Leo or Don, so she shared with Leo and Don shared with Mikey, and I thought since we've known each other a while so… you.."

" Yeah I do know." she smiled and leaned over to him and kissed him on the cheek, Raph really liked Amanda but wasn't sure if she liked him back, she was always kissing him, hugging him but never really done anything else.

Raph smiled, then looked at his wrists which had his watch on, " Oh, listen it's 9 am, want some breakfast?" he asked and stood up.

" Sure." she said, so Raph helped her up and they both came out of the tent and saw they were the only one's awake.

Amanda sat down at a table and saw that the campsite was brilliant,

" Raph, how do we have tents and such?" she asked while Raph was making toast and drinks.

" We kinda borrowed some stuff from other….places and made it a little better. In a few hours we're gonna be leaving and going back to the farmhouse."

" Ok." said Amanda as Raph put her food and drinks in front of her, they both began to eat slowly, Amanda kept looking at Raph while she ate, she thought he had lovely eyes and a lovely body, but she wasn't really sure if she wanted him as a boy friend. While she was looking at him Raph turned to face her, as she did she quickly turned away,

" Were you looking for something?" he asked and looked at her with a loving look.

" No." she replied and carried on eating.

Raph smiled, he knew she liked him but also knew she only wanted to be friends, he wished he could just jump on her and kiss her soft lips, and smooth her soft skin, he loved everything about her.

" Hey Raph?" she said as he was thinking about her.

" Yeah?" he said and looked at her.

" I was wondering, would you.." she began, she wanted to ask him out but was nervous.

" Yes?" he said

" Could I come back to New York with you." she said, she was so angry at herself, why didn't just ask him.

Raph sighed " Yeah, of course, you didn't think I'd just leave you here?" he said and smiled at her.

Amanda smiled, then leaned over to him and he leaned over to her, they were about to kiss when Mikey disturbed them , so they quickly turned away from each other .

" Hey, love birds!" he yawed and made him self some breakfast.

" What do you mean, Love birds?" asked Raph and turned to face Mikey.

" Well you two obviously like each other so just go out for crying out loud!" said Mikey and sat next to Amanda, as he spoke Amanda blushed a bit and was sure Raph noticed.

" What you talking about we-"

" Raph, when Mand came through the door she kissed you on the cheek and you let her, you don't even let April kiss you, and when she was being dragged away , your name was the first she called out, not HELP!" replied Mikey and smiled.

Raph looked at him then at Amanda and saw her smiling at him and smiled back,

" See, now your smiling at each other." smiled Mikey.

" Mikey, shut the fuck up!" said Raph and stormed off.

As he did Amanda gave Mikey a look.

" What?" asked Mikey trying hard not to smile.

" You know what, now leave him alone! So what if we like each other, just leave him alone or I'll show the really meaning of annoying!" she replied and made a fist with her right hand and showed Mikey.

" Ok, ok. I'll leave him alone." said Mikey and turned away and began to eat, so did Amanda.

When everyone was up, Mikey made the ones who were hungry breakfast while Raph, Amanda and Leo were packing up everything.

" Where are we gonna put everything?" asked Amanda

" Back where we found it." smiled Leo, so Raph and Leo picked up all the stuff that they borrowed and walked into the woods, but when they came back they had nothing.

Everyone began to run around, Amanda and April tidied themselves up while Don and Raph got some sort of transportation.

Ten minutes later, Raph and Don came back with a black car, Raph smiled and climbed into the drivers seat while everyone except Don climbed into the car while Don went onto the shell cycle and they all headed back to the farm house.

The trip was mainly none stop except for when they had to stop for gas, no one talked to each other because everyone mainly had something to do, Leo was reading a book, Mikey was reading a comic and April and Amanda were nattering to each other like they've been best friends for years.

Three hours later, they arrived at the farm house. Amanda and April walked straight into the farm house and April showed Amanda around while the guys were talking outside.

" Guys, is it ok if Mand stays with us here, and I was kinda of wondering if she could stay with at the lair?" asked Raph.

" Well Raph.." began Leo

" Please, she's got no where else to go and she did help me." said Raph " Wait! Why am I asking your permission?" said Raph before anyone could reply and walked into the farm house, so all his brothers followed.

One day later, Amanda was walking in the woods with a sketch book under her arm and a pencil in her hand. She was walking then sat by a bank of a river and began to draw landscapes, leaves, trees and more. She loved to draw and her drawing were really good, they could have been passed on as a professional's piece of work, and would have been happy to sell her drawings but she kept every single one she had ever drawn, even the ones she'd drawn when she was little.

As she was sat there someone sat down next to her, it was Raph.

" Hey." she smiled but didn't look at him.

" What you doing out here?" he asked.

" Drawing." she said then showed Raph her sketchbook, Raph took hold of it and was amazed.

" There good, where did you learn to draw?"

" No where, I'm just good at it." she replied and took it back then she moved closer to Raph and lead her head on his shoulder and he put his arm around her and they sat like that for ages till Amanda broke the silence.

" Raph, you know that April likes Leo and Don, which one does she like more?"

" I dunno, I bet she likes Don more because they both have the techno geek thing going on but I know she also likes Leo as well."

Amanda smiled " Is there anyone you like?"

Raph was shocked but answered truly " Yeah there is.. You." he smiled then blushed.

Amanda giggled then she and Raph turned to face each other and they shared a long kiss, then Raph moved his hands all over her body and pulled her back onto him and then began to snog.

After a few minutes they stood up and Amanda picked up her sketch book and they headed back to the farm house holding hands only to find April and Don kissing and also saw Leo watching from a tree not so far away, Raph was sure he saw a tear in Leo's eyes.

Amanda was shock at what they were doing and so was Raph, Amanda looked up and saw Leo climbing down a tree and walked off into the woods,

" Raph, sort those two out." Amanda said and handed Raph her sketch book as she ran in after Leo.

" Leo!" she shouted and saw him sat where her and Raph were previously, " Leo." she whispered and walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder but he didn't move.

" Leo." she repeated then she sat next to him and saw that he had tears rolling down his cheek, so Amanda pulled him close to comfort him.

" I." he began then stood up and whipped the tears away and was about to walk off when Amanda took hold of his hand and stopped him.

" Leo, she likes you but she also likes Don, she had to choose."

" I know, and I respect that, it was just a shock." he replied then walked off and Amanda followed him.

When they got back to the farm house April was sat in the living room watching TV while Don and Mikey were playing cards on a table and Raph was sat on the other sofa also watching TV, Leo sat next to April and had a chat to about him and her, while Amanda sat next to Raph and leaned her head on his shoulder and he put his arm around her. Amanda was woken by moving, she opened her eyes and saw Raph was carrying her to bed, " Raph?" she whispered and yawned.

" Yeah?" he replied then pushed the bedroom door open with his leg and gently put Amanda down on the bed.

" Why were you carrying me?"

" You fell asleep and you wouldn't wake up so I thought I might as well put you to bed." he giggled, Amanda gave him a look but couldn't control her self from laughing.

" What?" he asked and looked at her.

" Nothing.." she giggled " Raph, I love you." she said and reached for his hand, she gently grabbed it and pulled him closer to her and they shared anotehr long kiss before Raph went out to his own room. Amanda was the happies she had been in years, she's loved Raph even though he could be abit horrible at times. She loved the way he cared, he was proably the most senitive about his family which was one of the othe reasons she liked him so much, he had a big heart but could also be as mean as a demon!
