Chapter 24 Raphael's and Mona's love Now and Forever
After many months of planning and figuring out where to have the wedding it Raphael and Mona decided it would be nice to get married in Florida. Attending the wedding was April and Irma who were both asked to be bridesmaids, The neutrinos Dask, Zak and Kala were attending the wedding as well. Michelangelo was happy about seeing Kala again. The turtle's other friend Zack was invited as well and so was Irma's boyfriend Howie who was asked to play the piano. Also attending was Usagi the samurai rabbit and Casey Jones who volunteered to be the body guard just in case if anything were to happen. Since Mona and Raphael decided to get married in Florida the punk frogs Attila, Genghis, Napoleon and Rasputin were also invited to attend the wedding. Master Splinter was asked to be the one to marry Raphael and Mona which he gladly volunteered to do. "April and Irma this is going to be so wonderful. I'm glad I have friends like you to share this special day with" said Mona as she was getting ready. "We're happy for you as well" said April as she handed Mona her veil. Irma signaled Howie to start playing as Donatello who was the best man and April the maid of honor along with Irma walked with Donatello down the aisle as they took their places. Then Howie started playing here comes the bride as Mona walked down the aisle towards Raphael who was waiting for his bride. Master Splinter smiled at the happy couple as he began speaking, "Hello to all of you our friends who were able to attend. We are gather here today to witness the union of one of my students who I love and care for as a son just like the other turtles and Mona Lisa in holy matrimony. If anyone here today has any reason why these two shouldn't be wed speak now or forever hold your piece."
Since nobody had a reason for not wanting Raphael and Mona to get married Master Splinter continued where he left off. "Do you Raphael take this woman Mona Lisa to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold, to love and cherish through good and bad times as long as you both shall live?" asked Splinter. "I do" answered Raphael. "Do you Mona Lisa take Raphael to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, to love and cherish through good and bad times as long as you both shall live?" asked Splinter. "I do" answered Mona. "The rings please" Splinter requested as Donatello and April handed the rings over. Mona and Raphael placed their wedding rings on each other and Splinter said, "By the power invested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." With that said Raphael and Mona kissed each other as husband and wife for the first time as their friends cheered for the newlyweds. At the reception Raphael and Mona had something to say to all of their friends. "Thank you all for coming to our wedding. You have made this day every special for the both of us" said Mona. "My beautiful wife Mona and I will be singing a duet called Now and Forever from an old Children's movie The Pebble and the Penguin" said Raphael. "Now Raphael is going to sing this I got to hear" Michelangelo said to Leonardo and Donatello who agreed with him. Howie gave Mona and Raphael microphones as he started to play the piano and Raphael was the first to start singing,
Raphael: "One perfect moment
Just one humble stone
But oh, what a stone can do
It means that I have one love forever
And one love alone
A now and forever with you"
Mona: "Now and forever
As sure as the snow
As long as the ocean roars"
Raphael and Mona: "I'll love you in a way that I'll never
Begin to outgrow
I'll now and forever be yours."
Raphael: "From this blessed day"
Mona: "From this blessed day"
Raphael: "All this whole life through"
Mona: "All this whole life through"
Raphael: "Starting when we say"
Raphael and Mona: "I do
Forever and ever and ever."
Raphael: "Now and forever
Just one humble stone"
Mona: "But oh, what a stone can do. It means that I have one love forever"
Raphael and Mona: "And one love alone
A now and forever with you."
Mona: "From this blessed day"
Raphael: "From this blessed day"
Mona: "All this whole life through"
Raphael: "For this whole life through"
Mona: "Starting when we say"
Raphael and Mona: "I do
Forever and ever and ever"
Mona: "Now and forever"
Raphael: "Now and forever"
Mona: "As long as the ocean's blue"
Raphael and Mona: "I'll love you in a way that I'll never
Begin to outgrow
A now and forever and ever
And ever and ever and ever
And ever and ever with you"
Raphael: "Now and forever"
Mona: "Now and forever!"
After Mona sang the last song to the song Howie started played the electric guitar and did a solo for the finale. After that everyone clapped and had tears in their eyes because they thought the song was beautiful and perfect for the occasion. "I'm going to throw the bouquet" declared Mona as she threw it. Irma was the lucky person to catch it. "Oh I really do hope I'm next to get married" Irma said to herself. When the reception was over Raphael and Mona Lisa decided to spend their honey moon in Florida because the weather was beautiful. Everyone thanked Raphael and Mona for inviting them as they went home to let the happy couple began their honey moon and their lives together as husband and wife.
The End
Author's Note: finally I finished Finding a Cure for Mona. I would to thank Retro Mania for giving me the idea to write a fan fiction based on Mona Lisa and Raphael from the 1987 version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I would also like to thank all of my fans, readers and followers who have been reading this story since the beginning. For this final chapter I wanted to include the song Now and Forever from this old children's movie I saw when I was a little girl entitled The Pebble and the Penguin. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid and if you don't know what it is look it up for yourself. All credit for the song Now and Forever go to the two singers who wrote and sang this beautiful duet Barry Manilow And Sheena Easton in 1995 which was when The Pebble and the Penguin came out. When I first heard this song I promised one day when I get married I want this song to be played at my wedding when I finally marry the love of my life. No copy right intended. I just wanted to write an awesome last chapter to this story. Stay tune for the next time I update one of my other fanfictions and write a new one. Peace out from Princesspeach102!
