Chapter 13: Victory

Violet and Mikey climbed up onto the rooftops, ignoring the fact that Violet still had wounds. She still had a rather large gash from the Shredder, which meant a lot of bandaging, but she had mostly healed.

"You sure you know what you're taking on?" Mikey looked at her.

She grinned, "I could ask you the same question"

Mikey grinned back "Close your eyes!"

"Why?"

She was slightly confused. "You'll see" is all she got as an answer though.

Violet closed her eyes, almost expecting him to do something like suddenly kiss her. But he didn't. Instead a small box was placed in her hands. She had to strongly avoid the temptation to peek.

"You can look now" he sounded excited.

She did so and looked down at the box. It was black with shiny gold stars on it. She carefully removed the lid and had a stealthy look inside. There was a silver pendant heart on a fine chain within it.

She jumped at him. "Thank you!" she was so happy as she hugged him, her emotions going wild.

He helped her put it on around her neck. It glinted in the moonlight as she fiddled with it.

"What's all this for then?" she asked suspiciously.

He merely smiled. "Well" he hesitated. "When we were fighting the Shredder, he said something about you only just turning 16"

She nodded sadly. "Unfortunately, that is true. He attacked two days after" she sighed. "But then I wouldn't have met you" she winked at him.

"Also, I thought you might like it" he continued. "You know, as a present because…" he hesitated.

She helped him finish his sentence. "You love me"

"Yeah" he blushed slightly.

"Don't worry" she gazed at him sweetly "I love you too"

They held each other's hands as they came closer together, gazing deeply at one another. Then came the magical moment, they kissed.

In the distance a figure moved closer, watching them carefully. Their eyes gleamed a whitish colour in the moonlight.

"When are we going to tell the others?" she asked him after they had broken away.

He looked away. "I don't know"

She turned his head back to her, so he was looking into her eyes. "Well I guess that makes it our little secret then, at least until you're ready"

He smiled. As they began to move away, Violet suddenly stopped him.

"I guess there's only one more thing to say" she smiled.

Mikey looked at her, not sure as to what she may add.

"TAG! YOU'RE IT!!!!" she shouted as she tagged him and bolted away from him.

He ran after her. "Hey! No fair" he complained "I don't wanna be it" he jokily added as he dived over rooftops following the girl he loved.

The shadowy figure turned away from them. "Kids" they muttered as they ran off, into the night.

Extra Notes

It's finished! Yes, this is the epilogue of it. Don't worry, I am going to work on a sequel (I'm attached to Violet ), but I can't promise you when it will appear because I have had a lot of work recently. I will work on it when I can and hopefully it will appear soon. Thank you for reading this story and I hope you enjoyed it.
