April and Casey have still been meeting up for study sessions but now they're becoming more casual and friendly. Casey liked hanging out with April. And of course hoping that they'll get attacked by some mutant/ robo monster soon wasn't so bad either. He's encountered organ monsters and evil robo ninjas while being around her and loved every second of it. He was also impressed and blown away by her fighting skill. He never thought an honor roll brain like her would have some moves. And it didn't hurt that she was cute too. To say that he was attracted to April would be obvious, and it is. But he wondered when he would get to meet her friends.
April was hanging out in the turtle's lair until she looked at the time on her phone and started prepping to leave for her next study session with Casey. Donnie was sitting next to her on the couch where everyone was watching tv.
"Hey April where u headed?" Donnie asked.
"Study session with Casey" she said nonchalantly as she packs her bag. Donnie looks intrigued, in a bad way.
"Who's this Casey girl you keep meeting up with?" Mikey asks. April looks unamused at him.
"Casey's a guy Mikey. And I told you guys already he needs me to tutor him in trig." April explains as she walks to her exit. Donnie knows who this Casey is and looks on sad as she walks away.
"So after your study session, you wanna come back and hang out, I have some new stuff I've been working on to create the retro mutagen for your dad" Donnie suggested with a desperate smile.
"Oh yeah, that doesn't sound desperate" Raph says. Leo shakes his head in annoyance.
"I told you before Donnie I can't. We were planning on getting some pizza after, and Casey said he was gonna teach me to ice skate at the rink." April said with a smile.
Donnie gives a sneer at her plans. He could see that she was starting to really like this guy. It was obvious to the others too.
"But you'll be out all night." Donnie said trying to convince her that her plan was dangerous.
"It'll be fine, I have my t-phone and I have Casey with me so I'll be safe. He took out foot bots on his own." She said sounding impressed. Leo stands up and walks over to April.
"If he's that good, maybe he could help up out." Leo suggests.
"Why would we need his help? We're doing fine by ourselves" Raph rejects.
"What do you think sensei?" Leo asks Splinter as he enters the room.
Splinter strokes his beard pondering. "Normally I would suggest otherwise, but if this boy is as skilled as you describe perhaps it would be wise to seek out his assistance" Splinter says.
"No" April says quickly. Everyone looks surprised at her. "I'm not gonna put his life in danger again" She says seriously as she stands her ground facing the turtles.
"But he's already had his life in danger, what could a couple more times hurt" Mikey asks. Raph slaps the back of his head.
"No, those were all accidents that he happened to be there at the time so he got involved." April says.
"But you said he liked fighting."Leo says.
"Because he's a guy! All guys think they're so tough and that they can handle anything until they can't and they wind up dead. I'm not going to put Casey through that." April persists.
"Can we at least meet the guy? Maybe we could all talk over pizza" Mikey asks with an eager slaps the back of his head so hard he falls forward.
"Doofus, ya don't think he's gonna get freaked out when he sees 4 mutant turtles walk up to him and say, 'Hi we need help fighting off evil aliens and psycho ninjas who have now gone robo on us want to help us out!" Raph shouts sarcastically.
"Well he's already seen mutagen man and the foot bots, we probably wouldn't be that much of a shock" Leo says.
"No, the minute he meets you guys he'll already be a part of this!" April shouts.
"April he wants to fight. And if he helps us out he gets what he wants" Leo says.
"Do you even care that you'll put him in danger at all? No you don't! Look I'm already late I gotta go. And when I get back tomorrow this whole idea better be behind you guys" April demands as she stomps out.
The guys are all stunned by her outburst. "Well that's the end of that topic" Donnie says calmly as he relaxes back in the couch.
"No it isn't. I know April cares about this guy a lot, but I think if given the opportunity, he would agree to help us. We just need to convince April." Leo says.
"Yeah you just don't want to work with April's boyfriend."Mikey teases.
"April already said he's not her boyfriend and she said she doesn't want him involved so let's not" Donnie says.
"If it is April's wish that we do not involve her friend, then I feel it is best to honor her wish" Splinter says.
"Exactly what I was saying thank you sensei" Donnie says happily. The guys all sigh in defeat.
The next day while Casey is walking to school he walks by an alley and hears a cry for help.
"Help, please…somebody" It said it sounded like a girl. He walks in and looks around to see where that voice was coming from. He sees a girl crouched down behind a dumpster grabbing her right ankle. She was in black jeans, a ripped black t-shirt, choker and arm bracelets.
"Hey, you alright?" He asks as he goes down to her level and put his hand on her back.
"No, a couple of jerks took my bag and then wrecked my leg and left me here." She says still rolled in a ball in pain.
"Ah man, wish I came sooner. Let me help you out." Casey says as helps her up.
"Thanks" she says. "My name's Casey by the way, Casey Jones" he says getting pretty cocky feeling like a hero.
She looks up at him with her honey brown eyes and an innocently deceiving smile. "I'm Harmony". Casey stares at her.
"Wow, uh… I mean cool" He stutters as he is stunned by her beauty. Karai smirks evilly to herself as she seems she already has him acting like a dork. "So just Harmony" He says trying to sound cool and sarcastic.
"Yeah" she says with a little smile flirting.
"Mystery, I like that" He says gaining back some control and pulling off a smirk as he continues to help her walk to school.
What is Karai planning? Will April eventually let the turtles meet Casey? How's April gonna feel about Karai with Casey? [please review]
