"No way!" Dragan practically screamed as she and April stared shocked at the now blushing Kara.
"When? How'd it go?" April asked leaning in as they sat in the living room of Kara and Dragan's home having their monthly girl's night all of them in their pj's surrounded by junk food with a movie playing in the background.
Kara stuffed her face with popcorn, getting even more red than before, swallowing hard and chugging down some soda. "Ok, ok.." Letting out a deep breath afterwards she then closed her eyes giving herself a moment to calm down before explaining everything.
-Flashback-
Kara glanced down at the flyer Donnie laid before her, his face as red as it could possibly get for a mutant turtle. She sat up straight having been sitting at his computer listening to music while he worked around his lab not really paying attention to what he was doing until he was suddenly in front of her having slammed the flyer down, startling her.
She paused the music and picked up the flyer, beginning to read it out loud.
"For one night only the Luna Park is celebrating their one hundredth birthday and we're inviting everyone to come! Anyone who comes wearing a costume gets in free of charge! Fireworks will be shown at the end of the night." The rest was information about the location and time.
She looked up at him curiously and blinked seeing his face was glowing, steam rising from his head. "Is everything ok?"
"I-I-I was j-just wondering iiiiiif you and I, me and you...w-would..." Donnie was getting flustered with each word and it was beginning to get hard to understand what he was saying.
Kara's eyes slowly widened, the wheels in her brain starting to turn. Looking between the flyer and Donnie her mouth hung open in surprise. "Are you trying to a-"
"Stop! Don't say another word! I want to be the one to ask you!" Donnie blurted out, squeezing his eyes shut before taking in a deep breath to calm himself down.
Kara smiled, covering her mouth to suppress her giggle and nodded to him so he could continue.
Once he was fully calm he walked over to her side of the table and gently took her hands into his. "Kara..w-will you go on a date with me?" He asked softly, a sincere smile across his face
Kara couldn't help but blush at not only how composed he had become but for just him being him. She smiled excitedly and gave him a nod. "Heck yeah!" She yelled before jumping on him and planting a kiss on his lips.
-Back to Present-
Kara's face felt feverishly hot at the girl's reaction as they awed and were giggly over what had happened. Kara's eyes fell to the drink in her hand embarrassed but couldn't help the smile that crept on her face.
"I'm so happy for you, Kara! You two finally are goin' on your first date!" Dragan squealed in excitement, hugging her friend but blinked when she noticed something was off. "Aren't ye excited?"
"Of course I'm excited! If it wasn't for one thing.."
-Flashback-
Donnie fell to the floor from Kara's sudden attack and laughed, putting his arms around her as they shared a kiss not knowing Mikey had walked into the lab looking for them when he saw the flyer on the table.
Picking it up he read it with intensity til his eyes shined in excitement. "Guys! Look what I found in Donnie's lab!" He waved the flyer around as he ran out of the lab leaving Donnie and Kara in each others arms both of them with a look of dismay on their faces in doubt at what Mikey was so excited about.
Kara stood up and searched the tabletop closely, making sure she didn't miss anything, as she searched for the flyer but when she couldn't find it she hung her head. "He found it.." She whispered.
Donnie groaned hitting his head against the tabletop. "Now they're all going to go and we won't have any alone time." Donnie complained his voice muffled from the table.
"You think we'd be able to sneak away from them? It's going to be a pretty big event. I'm sure the crowds are going to be huge." Kara noted in thought glancing down at Donnie and smiled softly at his reaction.
"We're ninjas, Kara, they'll find us.." Donnie groaned in disappointment.
Kara leaned down, hugging his head. "We'll think of something."
-Back to Present-
Dragan and April had their palms to their heads, both sighing in annoyance.
"Of course." April muttered under her breath.
"Alright, girls, we need tae come up wi a plan tae save Donnie an Kara's date!" Dragan grabbed both girls and brought them in to a huddle to think of a plan for them.
-One Plan Later-
"Ok! Now that we've got that covered there's only one thing left for your date tomorrow." April winked playfully, a grin on her face.
Dragan blinked but the thought finally came to her and she had on the same grin.
"Uhh...what?" Kara blinked confused.
"Your outfit!" Dragan and April said in unison.
"Wouldn't I be wearing a costume though?" Kara was even more confused when a soft yet catch song was heard from the TV. She glanced over seeing a woman wearing a white dress and wings singing and dancing with a mutated creature who was dressed as a man.
April and Dragan followed where she was looking, both of them having the same idea, Chehsire grin's on their faces as they slowly approached Kara.
Sensing danger Kara glanced their way before turning to face them. "This doesn't look good..eep!" April's and Dragan's hands grabbed onto Kara and dragged her into her bedroom, all of them changing and leaving their home to go shopping.
-Several Shopping Trips Later-
"You guys are going to look so adorable!" April squealed in excitement all of them carrying at least three bags each.
"You think this is a bit excessive? The dress looked pretty plain..and long. I tend to trip wearing long dresses...a lot.."
"I'm sure we can get it adjusted. Let's go give Donnie his outfit. Hopefully we got the right size."
"I'll take it tae him. It wouldn't be much o' a surprise if we all went. I'll hae him try it on tae make sure it fits." Dragan said to them as she took the bags with Donnie's outfit and started making her way to the Lair.
-At the Lair-
Dragan entered the lair on a mission to search for Donnie, her mind unwavering until the mission was accomplished.
Finding him watching TV in the living room with the others she quietly snuck up behind him and gave him a tap on his shoulder which lead him to react with a scream of surprise.
"Gaah! Oh, it's you Dragan. Heh, you surprised me." Donnie laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head. "What brings you here? It's pretty late." He glanced down at his T-Phone for the time seeing it was close to eleven thirty.
Dragan had the bags behind her and she leaned down to his level a bright, yet disturbing smile across her face. "Oh, nothin' just wanted tae come by an see ma good friends an-" She suddenly grabbed him by the shoulder and dragged him to his bedroom, Donnie screaming the whole way startled at the sudden action, and shoved him inside, placing the bags neatly in front of the door. "Don't come out til ye try those on!" She yelled, closing the door behind her and stood guard right at the door to make sure he didn't leave.
Hearing his yells of surprise and anger made her giggle and she waited til he eventually calmed down and, to her knowledge, began to try on the clothes.
Waiting patiently for him to finish she noticed Leo calmly walking over to her and accompanied her, leaning against the wall looking shy and flustered. He cleared his throat to get her attention, scratching his cheek and laughing nervously when he did so. "Heh Heh, so I was wondering if you uh have any plans tomorrow night?"
Dragan stared at him for a moment but smiled. "Hmm. None that I hae in mind. What's up?"
"Well, there's this event going on having to do with going in a costume. And since we never really had a.." Leo let out an awkward cough, his cheeks starting to get warm. "Would you uh..like to go with me?"
Now it was Dragan's turn to blush. "Like a date?"
"Yeah, like a date." He smiled, holding the flyer out to her. She took it, reading it and her eyes shined like stars. She looked up at him and all she could do was nod. This made him smile and he leaned close, kissing her softly. "Great. We'll talk later. Looks like Donnie is about finished with whatever you're helping him with." He gave her a small wave and left just as Donnie walked out.
"Well...this is different." He muttered to himself wearing an oversized white tuxedo with a matching hat that covered his head. "What's the occasion?"
"It's for yours an Kara's date." She smiled happily at him making him blush but she suddenly realized what she had done. "It looks great on ya, Donnie. Keep it clean! I gotta go!" She waved by to him and left without telling the others goodbye, heading straight home. "I cannae believe I did that! But..now that I think o' it..we never had an actual date either..this..this will be fun." She closed her eyes while touching her lips and smiled as they still felt warm from when he kissed her.
When she arrived home she saw April looking over Kara who was wearing a long, white dress with long sleeves and silver lining for decoration. Kara was blushing, looking to be very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I'll have my aunt adjust the skirt to where you're more comfortable and able to move easy." April stood up and looked over at the small angel wings laying on the couch. "All we need is a mask and shoes and you'll be good to go!" She blinked when she heard movement and turned to see Dragan. "Oh hey! What do you think?" She showed off an embarrassed Kara.
"Beautiful as always." She gave her a smile making her groan in embarrassment but she was secretly smiling behind her hands.
Once Kara had changed April had gathered up the dress and went on her way to get it taken care of.
Kara fell onto the couch and sighed feeling mentally exhausted. Dragan sat down next to her and couldn't help but giggle. "Hey Kara..about your date wi Donnie..turns out Leo asked me out as well."
Kara sat up and smiled at her. "Oh, congrats. Hope you guys have fun as well." Before Dragan could say anything Kara rolled her eyes and waved her hand dismissively. "We'll be fine. We'll figure something out. It's not fair to have you watch out for us when you've got a date yourself. So, what are you guys going as?"
"We haen't discussed it yet but I'm thinkin' o' goin' as-"
-The Night-
Kara sighed and glanced around, tapping her foot nervously, the heel of her shoe clicking on the concrete ground. "Where are they? They should be here by now." She brought out her phone but blinked when Dragan placed her hand on her shoulder.
"Calm down, girlie, thay'll be here. Thay just..probably hae tae check tae make sure their costumes will work. Hmm..." Dragan adjusted the small tiara on her head and flattened out her dark green dress. She too was starting to grow nervous as she watched other people pass by in costumes as well.
"Heeeeey!"
Both girls look up to see Mikey running up to them wearing a werewolf costume with an old fashion sorority jacket. Dragan and Kara smiled, seeing the group coming up to them. Dragan quickly moved in front of Kara to hide her from Donnie to surprise him just as Mikey skidded to a halt in front of them.
"Wow, Dre! You look great! Your hair looks so pretty!" Mikey smiled brightly at her.
"Aw, thank ye, Mikey. It was a bugger tae straighten it. Ye look great as well. Nice!"
The others had caught up to him. April dressed as a ninja again as well as Casey dressed like a hockey star. Raph had borrowed Casey's batman costume. It was a little small so he only borrowed the gloves, cape, and mask; just wearing black clothes with a batman symbol drawn on the shirt. Leo was dressed as Shrek to match Dragan's Fiona costume and lastly was Donnie a white tuxedo with matching gloves, shoes, and a hat with his purple mask hiding his eyes.
Leo walked up to Dragan and kissed her on the cheek. "Wow, it's different to see your hair so straight. And it's so long too." He took her and and gave her a spin, smiling as she giggled. She stopped and looked at Donnie. "Hey, Donnie, close your eyes." She said with a wide smile.
Donnie blinked at her but rolled his eyes before covering them. Dragan quickly turned around to make sure Kara looked perfect. The guys except Donnie peeked around her to see what she was doing and all of them blinked in surprise at Kara.
Dragan walked over to Donnie while the others stood on the side blinking between the two. "Ok, open them."
Donnie did as he was told and opened his eyes. What he saw next; he couldn't believe his eyes.
Kara stood there wearing a long-sleeved, knee length white dress with a tail that reached her ankles, and white heeled shoes. The ends of her hair were curled except for her bangs and she wore a clip to hold back her hair from falling and ruining the small amount of make up she has on.
Kara too was in shock at how well dressed Donnie was. Both of their mouths were hanging open. Mikey was smiling ear to ear at the two and before anyone could stop him he grabbed both of them and pulled them to a hug. "This night is gonna BE AWESOOOME!"
He hollered in excitement and ran into Coney Island.
Kara looked at Donnie with a half smile and a raised brow. He looked back at her and gave a light chuckle as he held his arm out to her. Her smile widened and she wrapped her arm around his as they made their way to the entrance.
Leo and Dragan followed beside them hand in hand while Raph, Casey, and April ran to catch up with Mikey.
The two couples and group of friends went their separate ways trying out the rides and were having the time of their lives. When it was time for a break all of them but Kara and Donnie sat around a circular table eating the snacks that were provided in the theme park. They all watched, able to see Donnie and Kara from afar, playing the water shooter game.
"Man, I can't believe they're still at it." April leaned her head against her arm as she sipped her soda.
"Who knew Donnie would end up with someone like Kara. She's the total opposite of him." Casey added in, eating his cheesy fries.
"Well, you know how the saying goes, "Opposites attract."" Leo said to them with a smile.
They all blinked hearing a loud noise and cheering and looked over to see Kara jumping up and down excitedly and hugging Donnie tight to the point she was lifting him off the ground.
Dragan watched them and smiled softly as she leaned back some in her seat. "Think o' it this wye, ma friends, Donnie an Kara are like two puzzle pieces. Apart thay are completely opposite o' one another, personality wise. An yet when ye put them together thay fit perfectly wi each other." Dragan grinned at her friends as they stared at her in awe.
"Wow, that was beautiful, Dragan." April said in surprise.
"Eh, I got it from a fortune cookie." She and the others snickered at her joke as they finished all their snacks and drinks. "Come on, Leo, let's go on the ferris wheel. We can look at the whole ocean from the top." She took his hand and dragged him in to the line. By the time it was their turn they climbed in and sat down beside each other, Leo placing his arm around Dragan and pulling her close.
"You know, you should do your like this more often. It looks beautiful."
Dragan laughed softly, shaking her head. "Maybe every once in awhile. It was a bugger tryin' tae brush ma hair. Ye can ask Kara that yourself." She leaned against Leo watching the scenery change. When they reached the top the wind had picked up and loosened some strands of her hair. Leo looked at her and gently moved her hair out of her face. Dragan moved her hand over his and pressed it to her cheek.
She smiled softly, staring into his eyes and they both leaned in and pressed their lips together in a passionate kiss.
After a long minute they slowly moved their mouths from each other but gently leaned their foreheads together. Dragan stroked his cheek softly, looking as though she was holding back tears. "I'm going to miss you, Leo..." She said softly, the scenery around them darkening til everything was pitch black. And both of them were gone.
-With Donnie and Kara-
Since practically everyone was at Coney Island for the event they were whooping and hollering as Donnie ran through the rooftops of New York carrying Kara on his back as she held on to their plush toy they won tightly so she wouldn't lose it.
When he finally stopped, Kara hopped off him, both of them laughing together. "Wow, it's been so long since we've just had a run! That was exciting!" She threw her hands on the air but began to stumble back. Luckily, Donnie caught her in his arms before she could fall but the way he caught her had them looking like he was dipping her. Both of them stared at each other for the longest time, their cheeks glowing bright with each second that passed til Kara leaned up and kissed him on his lips.
Both of them closed their eyes, Donnie gently tightening his grip around her as he pulled her close to him. When they parted lips Kara turned towards the horizon seeing the sun was beginning to rise. "Wow..can't believe we were out all night long. Can you?" She turned towards Donnie but gasped in surprise to see the city behind him was in flames with Kraang Prime mutating the city. But what was worse was that Donnie was flashing from his original look to having completely black eyes and a dark smirk on his face. "Donnie?!"
"What? Is everything ok, Kara?" He asked worriedly. He went to reach for her but his image changed again but to Leo in a broken and damaged state. "Kara.."
She took a step back, holding her arms up defensively as she let out a scream.
A soft gasp escaped Kara's lips; her eyes snapping open. She looked around to see everyone in the Party Wagon. Casey driving with April in the front. Donnie, Raph, and Mikey gathered around an injured and unconscious Leo.
She attempted to sit up but was met by a sharp pain in her stomach area. The pain caused her to gasp loudly and get everyone's attention.
"Kara." Donnie and the others turned to see her finally awake and Mikey went over to her. "Stay down, dudette..you got hurt pretty hard."
She ignored his advice and forced herself to muster through the pain and leaned against the van wall to look out the window. Watching the unfamiliar scenery pass by them she turned to the others to see everyone but Dragan present.
"So..it all happened..the Invasion was a success."
