"You ok, boss?" brendan asked, worried. "Yes, absolutely." jonathan replied, stepping up and entered the boxing ring and he saw his beautiful deceased wife standing, and smiled.

Brendan and hans, watched from the sidelines and whispered amongst themselves.

This should be good." brendan whispered, nudging hans. Hans nodded, agreeing. "But this one is not like us. He is different." Hans commented. Johnathan and jarrod circled and carefully observed eachothers movements. Jarrod's ear twitched alittle when he caught jonathan off guard and roundhouse swept underneath him. Johnathan blinked surprised fro a second and hurriedly got up to his feet before jarrod could overpower him. Jonathan was lucky to escape from been sprawled upon as he knelt, looking for a opportunity to take jarrod off guard as he had. Jarrod smiled alittle and tread patiently, carefully whilst jonathan did the same.

Thier audience watched on and silent. Jarrod lowered his hand in supine position as he invited jonathan to attack. jonathan stood up, circled the black wolf carefully. Jarrod watched as he remained still and watched. Meanwhile in the lair, the doors opened and tired treading entered as her heels clicked and clanked on the surface of its lairs floor.

"Hey daddy, what's up?" elena greeted and before continued with another question. Her eyes widened as she looked around in silence, listening to her father as he shared the news.

She return the smile and said before disconnecting the call.

"Alright, we will be right there.." placing her phone back in her handbag. "Someone is expecting to meet us and they are the first to come forward." Elena announced. "They? They who?" raphael wondered, curious and alittle concerned. "That, you will have to come and meet them at my fathers community centre." elena encouraged.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Mikey ushered happily. "Someone is indeed excited." Rachel whispered. Raphael chuckled, kissed her cheek. "I'll be back, babe." rachel smiled.

"I was wondering why one was missing."

"He has been busy lately." Rachel commented. "Too much, he needs to come out." Wolfjade stated. "I'll go see if he is in his room." Leonardo said, leaving his wife's side and after few steps across the room and stopped when mikey blurted out.

"Donnie went out for his date." Mikey grunted when he recieved a elbow in his chest from raphael. "Date? What do you mean, date? Who is she? Isnt he in his room?" elena asked quickly one after the other question. Shrugged and smiled sheepishly. Elena sighed softly as leonardo returned to her side and wondered the same as he waited for an answer. But elena assured politely.

"It is alright, he can regroup with us later." Raphael and mikey, kissed thier wives cheeks and joined their brother and sister. Rachel smiled, farewelled her beloved as he joined leonardo and elena with mikey. She turned on her heel as she chuckled then noticed master splinter seemed indifferent suddenly. Walked to his side and asked softly as they continued to the dining room and sat down.

"Are you alright?" the old rat smiled and answered, lightly pats her hand. "I am alright."

Wolfjade joined the pair, placing the tray down that carried fresh brewed tea and asked. "Could it be something to do with the interview?"

Master splinter smiled and replied. "Let's say someone knew, had informed me about the future events." Rachel and wolfjade glanced each other then asked unsion. "Who?"

Rachel suddenly chuckled and facepalmed herself. "Of course, master yoshi. Am i correct?" wolfjade glanced confused back and forth between rachel and splinter. Splinter said nothing, remained silent for a moment and only smiled.

"Master yoshi? He told you sensei, like how?" wolfjade asked. Splinter reached over and grasped wolfjade's and rachel's hands in his, one in each as they returned the hand grasp and said softly.

"I have not spoken of this wonderful woman for a very long time. It was she, has showed me the future." They asked in unsion. "She who?"

Back in cnetral park, the newly pair laughed as they huddled close and together within eachothers embrace whilst seeking shelter from the sudden rainfall that had begun unexpectedly. Standing underneath the brick underway, walk in tunnel. Jasmine slightly leaned to her left, gently grasping her hair and ringing the water out of her hair strands. Donatello stood memorized, captivated by her beauty when first meeting her but now. He became more hypnotised and his heart jumped a beat. Donatello desired a lifelong mate like his brothers as they have found thier happiness and yet, he waited even dreamed about one day he hope to find. Unsure as of yet, could jasmine to be the one of who he seek or had dreamed about. Jasmine flung her wet hair back, shook both hands of the water and arose her gaze. Her beautiful sapphire blue eyes glistened like twilight starlight.

Donatello was unable to speak, glaring from underneath his veiled brown hat and inbetween the collars of his trench coat. Donatello knew immediately he realised he had found love. Love at first sight. Jasmine smiled and asked.

"Donatello, are you ok?"

"You're beautiful." Jasmine blushed again, smiled whilst tucking back the curly strands behind her ear. "Thankyou, that's sweet."

The purple clad terrapin glanced from underneath his hat which veiled his appearance and blinked quickly as he had realised and replied apologetically. "I am sorry, that was too fast."

Jasmine assured, approached donatello and grasped his hand gently. "Promise me, tell me how pretty I am when I aint looking like a drenched cat." Donatello blushed even though his trenchcoat collars and hat veiled his face. He replied with a nod. "I can't promise you that, so soon." Jasmine said with a smile. "I know, we only just met earlier this evening but i feel strongly I've known you my entire life and I ask." She paused a second as she glanced invitedly and resumed with her request whispery. "May i see your face, please."

Donatello was worried, petrified so he requested as he was hesitant. "May we wait alittle longer as long it is alright with you?" Jasmine exhaled with a soft sigh. she was very interested to see the face of the person she had those interesting chats with on line. With deep respect, she nodded and answered.
