"So, what do you think?" April asked as she, Izzy, Riley, Felicia and Willow all looked around the large space before them. "It's right down from the Garden where the ceremony will be held and we can all walk here afterward. There will also be trollies courtesy of Izzy's parents for the elderly or disabled." April said smiling at Izzy who nodded her head happily. "We'll have hors d'oeuvres and drinks here..." She opened her arms to the beautiful patio space they all stood in. It was rounded with gray cobble stone flooring and a small koi pond with a water fall in the corner. It was soothing and quiet in there with the sun shinning over the glass ceiling and the smell of flowers warming in the space.

Willow loved everything about it. It was beautiful and open and bright. She could picture stargazer lilies and orchards all around with big, bright green bushes and topiary. She didn't want a black tie wedding but now seeing this space, she thought that everyone in that attire would be perfect. She knew either way all her family would be dressed to the nines. They're Italians after all, they're not going some where, especially a wedding and looking like a scrub.

"Leo is going to love this." Willow breathed opening the large, white bay doors from the patio and stepping into the reception space.

"These would remain open too." Izzy added, kicking a door stop that was a large river rock, smooth and black to keep them open.

All the girls followed April and took in the reception space. Round tables that Willow wanted were already set up in the way she planned with Izzy. Izzy of course adjusted them here and there as the girls all walked around, stepping back and taking the whole room in.

"What do you think? We'll need the linens of course for you to get the initial effect of it, but ladies? Input?" Izzy asked, pushing her long red hair over a shoulder looking at all the woman before her. Riley nodded with a face of approval as Felicia stood next to Willow, watching her face in wonder and excitement with a smile upon her on. She was so happy for her friend and she knew she was in love with this place.

"It's beautiful." Willow sighed happily. "I'm getting married." She squealed, turning to Felicia and grabbing her hands. They both started jumping up in down in excitement as all the other girls joined in.

"You're getting married, you're getting married" They all chanted, jumping in the circle as Willow laughed. She felt so happy, it was sickening.

Someone from behind them cleared their throat and they all stopped, looking towards the noise. Zachary stood with the four brothers, Casey, Hayden and Tyler as they all watched in amusement. All the girls started laughing at themselves to their child like behavior.

"Please, don't stop on our accord." Zachary smiled as Izzy rolled her eyes, going over to the well dressed man and slapping his arm.

"Did you guys have a nice time trying on suits?" She cooed, brushing off some lint that was on Zack's lapels of his blazer.

"We did. They found exactly what you picked out and they all look dashing if I do say so myself." He said turning towards Leo and slapping him on the back. "You're going to be very please Will." He called over to her as she, Riley and Felicia were near the stage at the front of the hall.

"I already am!" She called back over her shoulder. Leo chuckled, going over to his soon to be wife and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"This is a nice space huh?" He asked, placing his head down on her shoulder. She smiled, placing her hands on his forearms around the front of her stomach.

"It is beautiful. How'd the suit feel?" She asked, turning to him. He was dressed in a short sleeved, royal blue shirt with regular relax fit jeans and a pair of sneakers. He'd gotten more used to being human with all the wedding arrangements and trying to work on the Dojo with his brothers.

They all finally convinced him, along with Willow's father and Willow herself to buy it. He gave the owner an offer and it was way less than he was excepting but, the owner gave it to him.

"You're going to need to put a lot of love and work into this place." The elderly man said, looking around the run down building. Pipes were exposed and walls were either rotted away or torn down.

"It'll get plenty of that." Leo smiled, looking around his space. His. He couldn't believe that it was all his own. He would make a name for himself. He was able to do this with his brother's because Donnie is such a genius. And he was getting married. Married. To a woman, a beautiful woman. He had to sit back sometimes, looking at his life and what become of it. He was beyond amazed.

"Well, I know that group of guys you always hang around with here seem like they know a thing or two about construction." The owner smiled.

"My brother's, yeah. We've done this sort of thing before." Leo nodded, smiling to himself as he thought of the lair and what it looked like before he, his brother's and Splinter all started on it.

"What are you gonna do with it?"

"Dojo for kids. Keep em' off the street." Leo smiled as the owner nodded.

"You'll do good for this city." He said clapping a hand over Leo's shoulder.

"Uncomfortable." Leo grimaced as Riley chuckled beside him, still looking up towards the stage. Felicia was already on it and up the rafters, checking the lighting. Donnie had joined her, both of them humming and murmuring to each other with wires in their hands.

"Felicia, please be careful." Raphael called up to her from beside Riley. She had already slipped once with her ballet flats and he knew it was only a matter of time before she fell and hurt herself.

"I'm fine Dad." She called back twisting a light bulb as it turned on. "Ow..." She hissed, pulling her hand back from a little electric shock. "I'm OK!" Raphael sighed, turning his back to her and leaning against the front of the stage.

"Just let me know if she falls." He said, putting his face in his hands and Willow chuckled.

"How'd you like the suit?"

"That was fuckin' dumb." He said raising an eyebrow to Willow. "Because I don't know how clothes are gonna fit? If they're my size, they fit right? So why do I need to practice tryin' it on?"

"Actually..." Izzy stepped in with her arms crossed against Zachary's side as they walked up to the stage. "They're custom made to fit your body because they're all tailored. So, you'll all look handsome and well fitted in them." She smiled, proud of herself as Zachary rolled his eyes over her shoulder at Raph. He chuckled as Izzy turned to look at him with narrowed eyes. He leaned down, kissing her forehead as she huffed and walked away. "Whatever. You two are spending too much time together."

"Speaking of..." Zack said as Izzy walked out of his arms to fix some table placement with April and Casey. "We still all on for b-ball on Saturday? Some pre-wedding stress relief?" He asked as Raph nodded.

"I'm in." Mikey said as he hopped up onto the edge of the stage with Riley beside him.

"Me too." Hayden added as Tyler nodded.

"It's about time we get to know our little sisters soon to be husband a little bit better." Tyler smiled as Willow just looked over at him.

"First off, dumb ass I'm older than you." Willow said with her arms crossed.

"Yes, but you're still smaller than me. Making you my little sister."

"Second," Willow said ignoring him. "...he'd own your ass before you even stepped up to the plate." She said pointing towards Leo as he chuckled.

"She's not wrong." He shrugged as Tyler rolled his eyes. "But, yeah Zack, that sounds fun." Leo smiled. "I haven't played in forever."

"No, not true Leo! Remember we had that night game a couple months ago when we were on pa..OW!" Mikey said, as Raphael turned towards him in a glare, retracting his fist from Mikey's arm. "Oh right." He chuckled. "Never mind."

"Dumb ass." Raph grumbled under his breath.

"Anyways..." Zack said, eying the two brother's. "If you're up for it we'll maybe have a bachelor party afterward? Nothing too major. Maybe at a whiskey bar down town?" Tyler and Hayden hummed in agreement as Raph snorted a laugh.

"Ha, whiskey. Yeah, Leo isn't much of a drinker." Raph chuckled. "Strip Cl-"

"Do not finish that sentence Raphael Hamato!" Felicia said from behind him. He turned slowly, looking up at her with a smile.

"All done getting yourself electrocuted babe?"

"Shut up." Felicia said glaring towards her boyfriend. "Will, can you give me a hand?" She asked, as Willow started clapping. "Really?" Felicia said rolling her eyes as Willow chuckled at her lame joke and hopped up on the stage.

"I'm not one for strip clubs either." Leo said watching Willow across the stage. "Whiskey bar sounds low key enough." He shrugged.

"Well whatever you do, don't go to The Box on the lower east side tomorrow night." Riley smirked, still perched on the edge of the stage, looking at all the guys.

"Why not?" Mikey asked, curious.

"That's where we're taking Willow." She shrugged.

"What exactly does that place have there?" Hayden asked.

"Singing, dancing, drinking, burlesque show." She smiled as Raph's ears perked up.

"See, that's where we need to go!"

"I agree man I mean, you're only single once." Casey shrugged.

"Yeah... You should totally come!" Riley said slapping Raph on the back as she chuckled to herself.

"Isn't that a um, transgender bar?" Zack asked with a grimace.

"I don't know." She shrugged.

"What are you guys talking about?" Izzy asked as she and April joined the conversation.

"The Box." Riley smiled as April and Izzy did too.

"Oh yeah, you guys shouldn't go there tomorrow night. It's not for you." April added as Izzy nodded.

"No, not at all. You should stick with your whiskey bar." Izzy giggled as all the girls walked away, Riley hopping off the stage, laughing. Willow looked at them confused as she tried to help Felicia with a lighting unit.

"What's so funny?" Willow asked as Felicia stopped what she was doing.

"Nothing." Izzy said, clearing her through from laughter.

"Yeah, nothing to concern yourself with Will." April added as they all started chuckling again.

"They're laughing about your bachelorette party." Felicia said rolling her eyes going back to her wire.

"Oh, where are you talking me?"

"That's for us to know you and to find out tomorrow night." Felicia smiled as she hopped down next to her best friend.

"I don't understand why we can't go?" Raph said as he and Felicia both entered her apartment. He flung off his jacket, having it land perfectly on the back of one of Felicia's bar stools.

"No, that's the thing. They want you guys to go." Felicia chuckled shaking her head and she reached into her fridge for two beers, handing one to Raph. She hopped on her couch, placing her beer down and grabbing her laptop off her small coffee table and placing it on her lap.

"Why?" Raph asked taking a seat next to her. She was already typing away for one of her term papers that is due.

"Huh?" She asked, adjusting her glasses on the bridge of her nose before looking over at him. He smirked at her, brushing her bangs out of her eyes before leaning down and kissing her softly on the lips.

"Why do ya want us to come to Willow's party? We have somethin' planned for Leo already. We don't need to piggyback on your night."

"They want Leo there because we're going to try and get Willow up to sing. She's been debating whether or not she's going to at the wedding for Leo. She's been practicing with the band but, we want her to have an audience. Betty is pretty persistent on her singing, we all are but, you know Willow. She's not exactly a 'look at me here I am' type of person. She's more subtle... Well... She's less showy I guess. Subtle isn't a good way to describe her."

"Yeah, she's about as subtle as a gun shot to the face." Raph chuckled.

"No, I'm good Leo." Willow sighed into the phone as she made her way down the busy streets of New York. "I'm just going to check on the flower arrangements."

"I thought Izzy was doing that?" Leo asked, looking out the blinders of Willow's apartment down the to streets below.

"She was, but she's been in surgery for awhile and asked me to do it. It's not a big deal. It's beautiful outside today anyways." She smiled, soaking in the beautiful, Spring sun. She wore a quarter sleeved bright pink cardigan over a white lace camisole tank top with dark skinny jeans, rolled up to her calves. She had her black converse on her feet, that she was happy to take out of storage from the cold winter.

It was nearing her wedding. Only a month away now and Izzy was starting to freak out. 'Starting to' is a understatement. Izzy had been freaking out since she got engaged but, now it was just full on headache mode. She screeched at Willow over the phone since eight o'clock this morning about the flower arrangements and how they needed to have a final approval or they wouldn't be ready for the wedding and blah blah blah. Willow just agreed to shut her up and drink her coffee in peace.

"OK, well hurry back." Leo sighed.

"I'm fine Tiger really. It's bright out here, there are a million people on the street. I'm good. Nothing is going to happen. Chill babe." She chuckled as he sighed and nodded his head.

"Well, just call me when you're on your way back."

"I will, I promise." She smiled. "I love you, call you in a few."

"Love you too." He said with a sigh, hanging up his phone.

"Dude, what's the deal?" Mikey asked from the couch. "Why are you all serious Leo mode?"

"Something doesn't feel right." He sighed, looking out the window again.

She smiled down at her phone, looking up at the last second before she placed it in her purse.

"Oh sorry." She said, nudging someone with her elbow knocking her off balance. She got her barrings back, shaking her head at the jackass that nearly knocked her over and went to start down the street towards the flower shop. Before she could leave she was pulled quickly into the mouth of an alleyway. A hand going over her face and her body being pushed hard against the bricks.

"Where are they?" The man muttered through his mask. Willow knew it was the Foot. She remembered from years ago even though they're styled uniform may have changed since then. She tried to calm her heart racing in her chest like Splinter had taught her years ago but, she couldn't. She were suppose to be safe. Nothing had been bothering her family, his family. Everything was perfect.

"I-I don't kno-"

"Don't lie to me!" The man hissed as he pressed Willow's face tighter into the grimy bricks. People were yards away from her, walking down the street. She could hear the conversations they had in passing, she could smell the street food and hear the cars beeping but, no one stopped. No one could see in the shadows he pulled her into, or hear her over the roar of the city. She was helpless.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" Willow growled, trying to fight the man off of her. He pressed his body tighter against hers, and pushing harder against her cheek. She could taste copper in her mouth from biting her tongue when he slammed her head against the bricks.

"The Turtles. Where are they?!"

"Turtles?" She questioned as he sighed, irritated with her already.

"Do not play dumb with me girl." He said, his face inches from hers. She felt something poke into her side. "I will gut you like a deer if you don't tell me where they are."

"I-I'm not even with Leo a-anymore..." Willow said, feeling the prickle of tears sting her eyes. "H-he and I broke it off years ago."

"Excuse me..." Another voice said from down the alleyway. "But, I do not think that is a proper way to treat a lady." His voice was calm and strong but, sounded almost like broken up English. Willow tried to turn her face to see who the new comer was but, she couldn't. It was immobile against the wall.

"Who the hell are you?" The Foot asked, taking the knife from Willow's side and pointing it at the new comer. He easily kicked it out of the Foot's hand taking his arm, pulling him away from Willow and slamming him, face first against the opposite wall of the alleyway. Pressing his knee into the back of the Foot's he wrapped his arm around his neck twisting him so he face Willow, his body tight to the man's.

"A friend." The man said. Willow noticed him now as he stood with the Foot's arm twisted back and his strong forearm around the Foot's throat. He was about as tall as Leo, with blonde hair that was tied down his back in a long braid. Two strands of platinum blonde fell against the curve of his pale cheek. No gel or product it just pushed back from his eyes perfectly on it's own. He was very beautiful and calm as he easily took down the Foot Ninja, not breaking a sweat. "Leave. Now." He said, turning down the alleyway and pushing the Foot forward away from him and Willow. The Foot limped away, staring back at Willow over his shoulder holding his nearly snapped and broken arm.

"This isn't over!" He yelled over his shoulder, throwing down a smoke pellet and disappearing. The man and Willow coughed as the smoke cleared leaving only them in the alleyway.

"Are you alright?" The blonde man asked, going over to Willow. Her hands shook as she raised them, nodding her head slowly.

"I-I think so." She sighed, putting her hands on her face and trying to readjust her jaw.

"Excuse my behavior" He bowed towards her, his hands together and rose giving her a smile. "I am Usagi Yojimbo. And you are?"

"Uh, Willow..." She said hesitant if she should bow back or not? He walked over to her, slowly with his hands up.

"I am going to check if you were harmed, do you mind?" He asked cautiously as she nodded slowly.

"I-I don't think I am, just my face hurts." He nodded, looking over her face, taking it in his hands and pressing this thumb against her jaw. She winced to the pain and he nodded.

"You'll need to ice this." He sighed. "I am sorry I did not come sooner." He said, bowing his head, ashamed as she shook hers.

"No, no you couldn't have possible known... I mean I didn't even know... Um, do you know who that was?"

"From the Uniform I am assuming the Foot Ninja." He said, glaring where the Foot had disappeared from. "Come. Let me walk you home." He said, placing his hand against the small of her back and moving her towards the street.

They walked in silence to Willow's apartment building. She would look over at him every now and again, taking in his form. His posture was very straight with his hands behind his back, one over the other, palm out. His face was soft and kind with dark almost black eyes. He was very handsome but, not at all her type.

"Uh, this is me." She said, pointing towards her apartment building as he chuckled softly to himself pulling out a card from his pocket.

"It seems our paths were crossed for a reason Miss Willow. This is where I was suppose to meet with old friends. Thank you for the walk." He said, bowing towards her as she smiled meekly.

"No problem." She said as they climbed the stairs together, him holding the door open for her. They both walked to the elevator and she pressed the up button. He seemed almost confused by the machine as they both stepped inside. She pressed the button for her floor and looked at him to do the same. "Uh, what floor?" She asked as he looked down at his paper once more.

"It seems dear Willow that our paths are not yet untangled." He smiled, turning the card to her for her to read.

"This is my apartment." She said, furrowing her brow.

"It seems that way." He nodded as the doors opened and he waited for her to exit first. She walked down to her apartment, looking over her shoulder at the tall man that followed. He smiled at her as she gave an uneasy one back, opening her apartment door.

She was starting to get a funny feeling about this man. He knew the Foot. Yes, he saved her but, how was she to know if that wasn't just a ruse put on by Karai? This could be exactly what they wanted?

Please be human, please be human... She rambled in her head as she unlocked her door. If he was human, and this was a Foot they wouldn't know if it was Leo or not. Stepping into her apartment she looked around seeing Mikey's blonde head from the couch. He turned at her entrance and grimaced as Leo ran in from the backroom.

"Uh, hey babe. Did you forget something?" Mikey asked as Willow sighed and looked at Leo. His face was nearly white with worry. She forgot to call him. He stopped, looking at the tall man next to his soon to be wife.

"Who's your friend Willow?" Leo asked, taking Willow's hand and pulling her to his side.

"Leonardo San." Usgai said with a bow as Leo furrowed his brow, looking over his shoulder at Mikey.

"You two know each other?" Willow asked as Leo eyed the blonde man before him.

"It is I Leonardo San, Usagi Yojimbo." He smiled, handing Leo the card he had been holding onto. "Donatello San sent me an invitation to your wedding. "And this must be your beautiful wife to be." He said as Willow nodded with a smile.

"Oh Usagi, I didn't recognize you!" Leo laughed, letting go of Willow's hand and taking his old friend into a hug.

"I could say the same for you Leonardo San!" Usgai laughed. Willow watched the interaction as Mikey got from the couch and was next to give a hug.

"Hey Usagi, long time no see. Like the threads." He said motioning towards his clothing. He was wearing a pair of lightweight black pants and long sleeved white t-shirt with tsuranuki, his Samurai shoes on his feet.

"Thread? I do not understand Michelangelo San?" Usagi said as Mikey and Willow chuckled.

"Your clothes dude. They look good."

"Yes well I was told by Donatello San that my Samurai uniform would not be fitting on the streets of New York."

"You're from Japan?" Willow questioned. It was Leo and Usagi's turn to laugh now.

"No, no Miss Willow I am from Kojima. It is another world apart from your own. Leonardo San and I met in the Battle Nexus as hotheaded teenagers." He laughed again, slapping Leonardo on the back.

"So, you've known each other for awhile?" Willow asked, motioning for him to come into her apartment and sit at her table. Mikey sat at the table and Leo and Usagi both waited until Willow pulled her chair out and sat in it before sitting as well.

"Oh yes, many years. Along with Michelangelo San here and the rest." He said smiling at Mikey.

"April and Casey too?" Willow asked, as Leo got from his seat and started some tea for everyone.

"Of course. I've met them along with my partner Gen on very rare occasions. However, I am here for a bachelor party it seems. Donatello San invited me along with a vial and syringe with very important instructions."

"Y-you're a turtle too?" Willow asked. Her was head spinning. How did she know Leo for years and never knew of this man, or turtle or whatever before her? What else didn't he tell her?

"Oh no." He laughed. "I'm a Rabbit."

"A rabbit..." Willow repeated as he nodded his head. "Wow... OK." Willow said, looking up at Leo who placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Excuse us for a moment Usagi. My bride to be needs a moment." Usagi nodded, getting up when Willow did from the table. He sat back down next Mikey as Leo lead Willow to her bedroom.

"A Rabbit?" She hissed, as Leo closed the door softly. "He's a rabbit?"

"Yes."

"From another universe?" She asked, trying to wrap her head around it.

"Yes." Leo nodded.

"Wh-What..." She sighed, placing her hand on her head. "So, is there like a universe filled with Rabbit people? Did you fall for a Rabbit Samurai princess or something over there? You don't have any Rabbit Turtle babies running around do you?" Leo looked at her like she was crazy.

"No. Of course not." He said shaking his head. Willow sighed, taking a seat on the edge of her bed before falling back onto it.

"First I get attacked by the Foot then Samurai Bunny over here saves me and turns out to be your bestie? I mean..."

"Wait... What happened with the Foot?" Leo asked, stepping closer to Willow. She sighed, shaking her head and sitting up in the bed looking at Leonardo.

"I-I was walking to the flower shop and a Foot pulled me into an alleyway. He was asking where you and the guys have been and if I knew anything. I told them you and I broke it off years ago then U-Usagi?" She questioned, trying to see if she was saying his name right. Leonardo nodded, his arms crossed over his board chest, paying very close attention to everything Willow was saying. "He saved me. The Foot said this wasn't over and used a smoke pellet thingy and disappeared." She shrugged. Leo nodded, stepping closer to her and tilting her face up to his by her chin, turning it from left to right.

"We need to ice this." He sighed, leaning forward and kissing the red mark softly. "I knew something was going to happen."

"How could you have known?"

"Spidey sense." He smirked, holding his hand out for her to take as she got from the bed. "As soon as you left this morning, something felt wrong. I didn't know what exactly. That's why I was so hesitant to let you go. I should have went with you." He sighed to himself, shaking his head. "I needed a break from... This." He said, motioning towards his human body. "I shouldn't have, they wouldn't have attacked you with me there."

"They might have..." Willow shrugged, wrapping her arms around Leonardo's slim torso. "I mean, they don't know you're this tough ninja turtle as a human. You could just be a guy with a pretty face?" She chuckled, placing her chin against his chest and looking up at him. He snorted a laugh, leaning down and kissing her forehead.

"Regardless. I should have went with you. Next time I will." He said, pulling her with him as they left her bedroom, both walking back into the kitchen to Mikey and Usagi deep in conversation.

"So, you couldn't get a good look at the guy?" Mikey sighed, running a hand through his blonde hair. Usgai shook his head, sipping his tea.

"No, I am sorry Michelangelo San. He was wearing a Foot mask, that I am sure. I am truly sorry I cannot be anymore help than that. However, I was given to understand that the Foot ninja had disbanded from the death of Oroku Saki?" He asked, looking up towards Leo and Willow as they entered. He stood as Willow sat and sat with her. Her face flushed to the gesture.

"You would think after you and Don doing it for so many years I'd be used to it." She chuckled, looking over at Leo who placed a piece of frozen meat against her face. She hissed to the contact as he grimaced and looked over at this friend.

"They had." Leo sighed, taking a cup of tea that Mikey had set up for everyone. Willow smiled at the offering and got up from her chair. Leo and Usgai quickly did as well, both in the same swift, smooth motion. Willow stopped and looked at them for a moment before sighing, and going over to the cabinet and grabbing herself a glass for wine, the steak still on her face.

"At least I can defrost this for dinner." She said to herself as Mikey snorted from the table.

"It's his daughter Karia." Leo said as and Usgai and Willow all sat back down at the table. Mikey chuckled quietly next to her as he slapped his arm, taking a long pull from her glass of white wine.

"Karai... That does sound familiar?" Usagi mused.

"Yeah, that's why they're like this..." Willow said motioning towards Mikey and Leo. "That and the wedding." She shrugged.

"So, you are hiding from her." Usgai stated as Leo nodded.

"For the time being yes. We wanted the wedding to happen without any trouble."

"Yes, this is a happy occasion." Usgai smiled, patting Leonardo on the back. "No more talk of Foot. Please, tell me how you two met."

Willow and the girls all stood along the edge of Willow's roof top as the boys stood around her metal fire place. It had been awhile since they could stand outside at dusk having a fire, actually this was the first time they could stand up here with the sun setting altogether.

"So..." Riley said, squinting her eyes at Usgai as he chuckled at something Raphael had said. "He's a Bunny?"

"A Rabbit, yes." April correct as Izzy shook her head.

"How... Um, so... Like a bunny, bunny? Ears and all?" Izzy whispered as Willow sighed.

"A Rabbit, yes. I'm sure he has ears." Willow said shaking her head.

"He does. He ties them back with a band, much as he's doing with his hair now. He's a white Rabbit too. Very handsome actually." April shrugged as Izzy looked at her confused.

"Why don't we just move on?" Felicia suggested as Riley shrugged. Izzy eyed Usagi carefully for a moment longer before rolling her eyes and nodding her head.

"I agree." She nodded. "So, what would you like to do for your bachelorette party?" Izzy smiled, nudging her friend with her hip. Willow laughed shaking her head.

"I don't care." She shrugged. "Drink. Obviously. But, not too much I don't want a hangover. I can't party like I could five years ago." She said sipping her white wine slowly.

"True that." Felicia agreed, raising her glass and clinging it with Willow's.

"What about singing?" Riley asked nonchalantly as Willow groaned.

"I am not singing!"

"Yes you are." Betty said from the fire escape as she climbed up it. Donnie's head perked to her voice. He excused himself from the group of men and met Betty at the fire escape. "Hey babe." She smiled, leaning up and giving him a kiss.

They both had decided to start dating, causally. Donnie was cautious considering he still couldn't figure out a way to tell her and she just was trying to play it as aloof as he was. She knew something was up and she knew he was keeping something from her she just couldn't figure out what, or why.

She asked Willow, since she had known them all the longest...

"So, he's not gay?" Betty asked with a sigh of relief.

"No..." Willow laughed shaking her head. "He really does like you... It's just complicated and not my place." She shrugged.

"He has a girlfriend or wife doesn't he? I knew he was too good to be true." She sighed, putting her face in her hands.

"You're an idiot if you think I would, or your sister would let you date him if he was married or had a girlfriend."

"So what is it?" Betty sighed and Willow shrugged.

"Not my place sweetheart. I'm sorry. He'll tell you when he's ready."

"Is it bad?"

"Well, that depends on you."

"How so?"

"It's not bad, it wasn't bad to me when I met Leo."

"So, it's like a family thing?"

"Exactly." Willow smiled. "A family thing and when he's ready, he'll tell you. I know he will but, you just have to keep an open mind. That's all I ask." Willow said putting her hand over Betty's.

"I also do." She smiled. "Whatever he has to tell me... I honestly don't think I'll care. I really do like him. He's so sweet, and smart..."She smiled as Willow did too.

"You guys are so cute!"

"Hey." Donnie smiled, wrapping his arms around his girlfriend. He had a girlfriend. Finally. He sighed to himself. "Drink?" He asked, motioning towards the cooler on the far side of the roof.

"Sure." She smirked, wrapping her arm around his waist as he pulled her with him.

"So, you all have significant others?" Usgai asked, looking towards Donnie as he and Betty kissed again.

"Yeah." Raph shrugged.

"But, only Miss Betty is in the dark about your forms?" He whispered as Leo nodded.

"And Willow's family." Mikey added as Usgai nodded.

"So, you're going to deceive them all?" He asked as Leo sighed.

"It's not exactly deception." Raph said. "We still are who we are, we're just... Doing it in a way so Willow's family doesn't run and scream when we all walk down the isle." He shrugged.

"Your world is a very confusing one." Usagi sighed. Leo chuckled a little placing a hand on his friend's shoulder.

"It'll make more sense at the wedding."

"What'll make sense at the wedding? Leo's hungover face?" Zack chuckled as he handed Raph and Mikey another beer.

"Leonardo San I never took you for a drinker." Usgai smiled.

"I'm not. That was just wishful thinking."

"She broke up with that freak. Impossible." Karia seethed from behind her father's desk. Four Foot ninja stood before her with their masks pulled back from their sweat covered faces.

"We've been searching the City for months Mistress Karia. They're gone. We've even done a few misdemeanors to try and get them to play hero and nothing." The blonde girl said as Karai sighed, nodding her head.

"Maybe they've gone." She said, sitting back in her seat and turning towards the large window, overlooking New York City. "Maybe... What was the name of that man that saved her today?" She asked, turning back towards her Ninja.

"I-I'm not sure Mistress." The older man shrugged. "His style was much like theirs but, better. Much better."

"That cannot just be a coincidence." Karai sighed. "We should follow Willow."

"Mistress we've been following her and, she goes home and is planning some sort of wedding." The younger blonde girl said. "She has another boyfriend now, she was right when she said she's no longer with Leonardo."

"She's with someone else?"

"Yes." The blonde girl said with a sigh.

"Show me." Karai said, standing from her seat as the younger man took out a cell phone from his pocket. He placed it on Karai's desk sliding it towards her. Taking it and thumbing over the screen her smile grew wider.

"He is a rather handsome man." She mused. "How does one such as Willow end up with such a magnificent creature? Seems almost too good to be true, doesn't it?" She asked, not looking from the screen.

"Well, uh... I guess it's the guys preference?" The younger girl said as Karai chuckled.

"They're hiding in plain sight." Karai laughed, sitting back in her chair and kicking her black, stiletto covered boots on the desk. "This is Leonardo."

"She's lost it." The younger man whispered over to the older man. "Mistress. That's a human." He said slowly as she looked up at him with a glare.

"I am not an idiot. I know his eyes." She said, tossing the phone towards him. He caught it easily, looking at the picture that was zoomed in on the handsome man's eyes. "That is Leonardo. Follow him and anyone that is with him. I am not going to let them slip away again." The four Foot before her bowed and left her large office. Karai smirked, turning in her chair towards the city skyline. "What a smart boy you are Donatello..." She smiled.
