END OF AUTHORS NOTE
There were coloured lights flashing in every direction and music was pumping loudly. Some teenagers were dancing in the middle area and others were just talking at the edges or sitting at the tables. There was a mini bar where they were buying alcohol and everyone was laughing and singing along to the music. And everyone was in a costume.
Leo felt overwhelmed by the sudden change of atmosphere. He smiled at the scene as they walked around the edge of the dance mob. Raph was right beside him and Don and Mikey were in front.
"Isn't this great?" Mikey shouted to them over the music. Don nodded while Raph just smirked. Mikey then saw April who waved them over.
"Guys! You made it!" She was wearing an angel out fit and Don couldn't stop staring. The others just chuckled while he fumbled to say something.
"A-Apr-il... you… you look awesome!" Don managed somehow to stutter out a couple of words and April beamed at his praise.
"C'mon! I want you to meet someone!" she yanked Don's arm and dragged him across the room over to a small group who beamed and welcomed him.
Leo suddenly felt worried. What if someone recognized them? They were wearing just their usual belt and pads on because Casey took their coats and Raph said that there was no point in dressing up.
"Fearless, ya ok?" a voice broke Leo's concentration and he stared into Raph's concerned eyes. He smiled and nodded and Raph smiled back.
"Dudes! Am I allowed to go off and do my own thing or…?" Mikey trailed off nodding towards the dance floor. Leo smiled.
"Yes Mikey. Just be care-" he broke off when he saw Mikey was gone. "-Ful" he mumbled and Raph chuckled lightly. Leo just rolled his eyes.
"So, did you want to come with me to find Casey or stay in shadows?" Raph asked. He secretly hoped Leo would go with him. Leo glanced up at him through hesitant eyes. Leo stared back with longing, but he knew he had to watch all of his brothers, not just the one he was interested in.
"It's okay. You go have fun and I can watch from the outskirts." Leo just flashed a fantastic smile as walked away and Raph sighed as he went to look for the bonehead.
Casey was talking to a guy that was dressed up as Dracula and once Casey saw him, he called him over immediately.
"Yo Raph! Come meet my friend Jack. He's the host of the party tonight!" Casey said as Raph made his way over. Jack smiled and bowed deeply.
"It is very nice to meet you, Raphael,. I have heard much about you" he said in a very convincing Dracula voice. Raph chuckled slightly before bowing.
"It's nice to meet ya to Jack." He said. Jack smiled and soon started talking to Raph about anything. Mainly sports though. Raph was feeling a bit over whelmed by how much he could talk. Sheesh! When will this guy shut up! He thought as Jack continued his rambling.
Casey was staring at the scene in amusement and Raph sent him a glare which tore the smug look off his face.
Leo was watching and he laughed softly at Raph's priceless expression. He looked like he wanted to punch the poor guy in the face or run away. He kept on looking until he felt a tapping on his arm. He looked to see that it was a girl.
"Hi! You're new around here aren't you? I haven't seen you before" the girl said, obviously tipsy. Of course you haven't Leo thought. I am a giant mutant turtle who lives in the sewer.
He smiled and nodded. "Yeah I'm new. What's your name?" he asked. He was just trying to be polite when another girl came up and dragged her away. "Come on Chloe! Let's get dancing!" they both walked away giggling.
Leo shook his head. They were drunk. He glanced around the room and noticed Mikey in the crowd. He was dancing along with a girl who looked pretty decent. She wasn't drunk and on the dance floor, she was amazing. Mikey looked pretty happy and the girl kept laughing talking with him.
"Hey Leo." Raph's voice made him jump and he turned around to glare at his brother.
"Raph! Give me a warning next time!" Leo said, but he was smiling. Raph smirked and leaned against the wall.
"Ok. I'll ring a bell next time ok? Or shall I dump cold water on your head?" he said teasingly and all Leo could do was roll his eyes.
"Very funny." He said, sarcasm dripping from his words and Raph chuckled.
"Why were you so distracted?" he asked. Leo smirked and pointed at Mikey and the girl. Raph's mouth dropped open. Leo couldn't supress his laughter.
"So he gave up Don?" Raph whispered to himself. Leo caught those words and froze. Raph soon realised that Leo had heard him and began to go bright red. Leo smiled gently and rested a hand on his shoulder. He was the first to speak.
"Something you want to tell me?"
"Well Mikey has a thing for…. Don" he whispered the last part.
"Mikey is crushing and Don?" He asked sternly and Raph nodded. Leo just giggled and Raph stared in surprise. He ignored it and started to speak, but Leo just couldn't stop giggling.
"Leo. Ya can't tell anyone alright? Mikey told me because I told him something and he doesn't want Don to find out so he hasn't told him and he didn't know how you'd react so he didn't tell you and I just found out so- WILL YOU STOP LAUGHING!" He said. Leo had giggled and giggled the entire time Raph was trying to talk.
"I cant wait for Don to open his eyes and see that Mikey is the one for him." Raph stared at Leo in surprise.
"Wait, you're okay with this?" Raph asked, his eyes the size of Pluto. Leo nodded towards Don and April who were talking a group of teenagers. Don kept glancing at Mikey and April kept glancing at Casey. Raph nodded and chuckled.
Leo liked to hear Raphael's laugh. It was deep and soothing and you couldn't help but chuckle in response. Though a drunken Raph laugh was awful.
A girl suddenly came walking over. She had black hair green eyes and so much make up that it could scare a horse! She was meant to be a devil but looked more like a zombie. She smiled at the two before grabbing Raphael's arm and tugged.
"Hey muscle man. Came dance with us! We are so lonely" she pouted looking at a group of girls who were waving and batting their eyes. Leo giggled at Raph's horrified expression. Raph looked at Leo for help. Leo sent a message through his eyes.
Sorry bro. I can't help you because 1, I don't know how to deal with girls and 2, they want you not me Leo smiled as Raph sent a death glare.
"Pleeeeaaaasssseee!" The girl pleaded, and Leo chuckled.
"Go on Muscle Man, have some fun" Leo teased for him and the girl squealed happily before dragging him to the dance floor with Raph flipping the bird at Leo who just laughed.
"Wow! Raph's already got a girl! Nice!" Casey approved nodding at the group of girls around him as he came up. Leo just chuckled.
"Hope he has some fun," Leo said. He turned and walked away hoping to find a comfortable spot to just sit and watch the scene. A man came up and smiled.
"Hi! My names Ryan. What's yours?" the man asked, smiling sweetly. He looked the same age as Casey and was only a centimetre or two taller. Blond hair and blue eyes with a nice tan on his skin.
"Hi Ryan. I'm Leonardo. But my friends call me Leo," Leo said returning the smile. Ryan and him just talked from then about their likes and Leo found that he made a really good friend.
What he didn't know was that while he was leaning against the wall and Ryan was talking, a certain brother of his was staring at them with jealousy gleaming in his eyes. He sighed. He knew Leo would never like him.
"sorry girls. I need a break" he mumbled and the girls just nodded and kept on dancing. Leo noticed Raph walking over to the refreshments and he waved.
Raph gave him a small smile and waved back. Frowning Leo tried to send a message.
What's wrong?
Nothing. Just tired of girls stepping on my feet that's all.
Hahahaha. That must have been fun.
Yeah. Heaps. Raph sent with an eye roll. He then turned and walked away. Leo smiled and shook his head.
"Was that your brother?" Ryan asked. Leo had forgotten he was there.
"Yes. His names Raphael though we call him Raph." Leo said glancing after the direction his brother took. Ryan smiled sweetly.
"Go talk to him. It looks as if he had something his mind." Ryan said. Leo looked at him in surprise making Ryan laugh.
"we can catch up later and you can introduce me to him but for now he just needs his brother" Ryan said gently and Leo nodded. They shook hands and went their separate ways. Leo managed to find Raph sitting at a table. He made his way over and sat down beside him.
"Raph! Hey! Nice dance moves out there!" Leo teased and Raph just stuck out his tongue. Leo grinned and his smile turned caring as he sat closer. Raph was always a sucker for Leo's smiles.
"Raph? Is something wrong? You seem a bit off," Leo said gently and Raph just nodded.
"I'm fine. So who's your friend? He seemed nice" Raph said, changing the subject. Leo smiled. I can never make Leo smile like that… Raph thought, his insides twisting with jealousy.
"He is on Casey's hockey team and he was just talking to me about his family, hoobies, favourite books, a movie he saw, his girlfriend, his dog-"
"His girlfriend?" Raph said. Leo looked at him in surprise.
"Er… yeah. It was one of the girls that were dancing with you actually. The one that looked like a cupcake. Why?" Leo asked suspiciously.
Raph rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly and Leo just folded his arms across his chest.
"I'm waiting."
"Well… I kinda got the impression that… he was… you know… trying to… hit on you…" Raph said his face turning into an apple. Leo just stared at him for a minute until he burst out laughing.
"RAPH! HAHAHAHA! Nice theory! He has a girlfriend and is straight. Why do you care anyway?" Leo said recovering from his laughter.
"It's just… Er…. Brother instincts. I don't want you getting hurt, Leo" Raph said and Leo jumped on his brother into a big hug.
"Thanks Raph. For caring" he whispered and Raph smiled as he returned the hug. He wished he could tell Leo how he felt, but he couldn't do it.
Leo was thinking the same thing. He let go of Raph and smiled sweetly before standing up.
"I'll go get us a drink. Anything in particular?" Leo said. Raph smirked.
"I'll have what you're having. Only if it's not tea" and with that Leo walked away laughing and shaking his head.
Raph watched Leo's hips. He shook his head
WHAT WAS IT WITH LEO'S HIPS?
With Don and April
Don and April waved their good byes as they searched the dance floor for Casey and Mikey that they had lost track of. They weaved through the crowd. It was funny to think that could walk around the people who he had been hiding from for 17 years. He chuckled softly.
April looked around the area once again and finally saw Mikey. She smiled at the view. Mikey was dancing alongside Felicity. She was a good friend of hers and it looks like her and Mikey were hitting it off! She felt happiness well inside of her for them.
Don was thinking differently. When April first pointed the two out, something inside of him lit like a match. He didn't trust the feeling but it took over. He scowled and April glanced at him shocked.
I thought he'd be happy for his brother… unless…
"We should get him if we need to start putting this plan together" Don's whispered smiling, though April could see that it was fake. She nodded.
"You wait here okay? I'll be back!" She called as she headed over. Don smiled. April was the perfect one… but Casey had more of a chance than him. He stared after April in longing.
April had reached the two and she smiled. She gave them each a hug as a greeting which they returned affectionately.
"Hey Felicity! I haven't seen you in a while! Do you mind if I take Mikey for a while? One of his brothers needs him" It was lame, but Felicity just smiled and nodded before waving and walking away.
"So…. Plan Raphenardo going into action?" he whispered his eyes gleaming with anticipation. April giggled and nodded. They headed back over to Donnie who was talking with Casey.
"Let's do it!" Mikey said. Casey chuckled and shook his head.
"All we have to do is put the song on and they will know the rest!" Casye said smirking. Don rolled his eyes.
"Leo's at the bar and Raph's at the table. How are they going to communicate romantically if they aren't even in each others presence?" Don exclaimed.
"Don't worry bro… if I know Raph he will go after Leo" Mikey said, assuring Don who smiled and nodded.
"Ok! Casye, go ask the DJ of the song!" Casey nodded and took off while the rest went to find good seats.
"Yo! Dylan!" He said, bumping fists with the man who was playing all the music. "You're doing great! But now, its plan KTG…" Casey whispered the last part and DJ Dylan smiled and picked up a disc and inserted it. The music changed. The lights went into blue and purple colours. Raph was sitting at the table waiting for his brother when the song started.
He didn't know that one simple song would turn his life around
WHHOOOOHHOOOO! I LOVE THE PARTY! PARTY ON MY FRIENDS!
