"Hello everyone." Maggie said as some woos and whistles were heard over the crowd. Maggie stood on stage in her beautiful Mother of the Bride dress under a golden spotlight with pink and silver sequences beading shinning. "I am here to introduce your entertainment for the evening." She smiled, looking off stage at the band. "What's your name?" She asked as Betty chuckled with a shrug, looking over at Riley.
"White Wedding." Riley hollered out as Maggie snorted a laugh.
"That's original...For your entertainment for this evening, I introduce to you... White Wedding!" Maggie said, stepping aside and clapping as everyone else did so as well.
Riley, Betty, Hayden and Tyler all walked on stage with Felicia backstage adjusting the soundboard. Riley took her seat behind the drum kit picking up her sticks and twisting them in her hands. She sighed happily to herself, pressing the foot petals a few times to get a feel for them sending the sound of the bass drum over the reception hall.
"Woo!" Mikey yelled out from his seat at the main table as Donnie chuckled next to him, enjoying his little brother's excitement. Donatello had his own excitement, watching Betty in a short black, flowing dress with bright pink band around the middle walk up to one of the main microphones. Raphael sat on the end of the table, rolling his eyes at his love sick brother's. Casey sat in the seat that was free next to April as they held hands, watching the stage and Zack and Izzy were next to them, talking amongst themselves. Tyler strapped his guitar over his shoulder as Hayden adjusted his microphone, clearing his throat.
"Hello, we're apparently White Wedding?" He said confused as everyone in the crowd chuckled. "Thank you for the beautiful intro dear mother." He said, bowing his head at his mother who curtsied before taking her seat to the side of the bridal table, at her own round table with Paul, Splinter, and Felicia's family. "I am now here as the favorite brother...Of Willow's." He correctly quickly as Tyler rolled his eyes, hitting a bad cord on his guitar as everyone laughed. "To introduce the new lovely couple. Should I use bad DJ voice?" He asked as some people yelled out 'yes' and others yelled out 'no'. "For the first time as husband and wife I present to you Leonardo and Willow Hamoto!" Hayden yelled as Riley did a building drum roll, stopping as the doors opened to Leo and Willow holding their hands up and walking through the tables and people to get to their main table. Willow kissed her mother and father and Splinter before taking a seat next to Leonardo.
Hayden and Tyler started cords to the first song, building up as Riley beat on her drums and all three play the opening melody to All Around Me, by Flyleaf. Betty stepped up to the microphone as Leonardo and Willow walk to the middle of the dance floor, everyone clapping around them.
"My hands are searching for you. My arms are outstretched towards you. I feel you on my fingertips my tongue dances behind my lips for you...This fire rising through my being. Burning, I'm not used to seeing you... I'm alive, I'm alive." Betty took the microphone from the stand, holding her hand and body weight on the stand as she rocked her body to the beat.
Donnie watched her singing, as she putting everything she had into the song for her friend and his brother. Mikey kept his eyes locked on Riley who kept her eyes closed throughout the song, mouthing the lyrics and banging her head as she hit her drums. Her hair fell all around her face, the curls bouncing to ever beat of the drums she hit.
Willow held tightly onto Leonardo's shoulder's, their bodies pressed tightly to one another.
"I love you." He said softly as she sighed, picking her head up to look into his eyes.
"I love you so much Tiger." She said as he kissed her lips softly, before she laid her head back on his strong shoulder.
Donnie noticed people starting to get up and dance with Willow and Leonardo. Her parents, Jane and Randall. He smiled at all the couples, looking down at the table as Casey and April got up next. April motioned her head towards Felicia who sat next to Willow's empty Bridal chair, spinning a straw around her half empty glass of whatever she was drinking. Donnie nodded to his friend and got up from his seat, adjusting his jacket and walked up beside Felicia.
"Hey." He said softly as she looked up at him with a forced him.
"Hey you." She whispered back.
"Dance with me." He said, putting his hand out as she rolled her eyes.
"No, I'm OK."
"I didn't ask you. I think as Maid of Honor and Best Man it's apart of our duties." He shrugged as she looked up at him with a glare, and got to her feet.
"Betty made you pushy." She chuckled as he took her hand and lead her out onto the dance floor. Raphael watched as his brother walked with Felicia past him and took the space on the side of the dance floor as people started to gather around Willow and Leo.
"Have you talked to him at all?" Donatello asked.
"No." She sighed. "Can we not talk about it?" She asked, looking over at Raphael who was dragged onto the dance floor by Izzy. He looked uncomfortable enough in his suit and Izzy was just making him feel worse, moving his hands on her hips as she put hers on his shoulders.
"I would if you could manage not looking at him for a period longer than two minuets." Donnie chuckled as Felicia sighed, looking up at the nerdy brother.
"I don't know how to do this, it's not something I'm used to." She shrugged as he nodded. "Once I break up with someone I never see them again. I can't just act normal with him, like I had before. The way I acted before, even then was infatuated with him. I still am, I'm in love with him but..."
"What?" Donnie asked, stopping and looking down at Felicia as she rolled her eyes, pulling him close again and forcing him to dance.
"I love him, but the stubborn ass doesn't wanna listen to me." She said as Donnie chuckled a little.
"So, then why the list?"
"He told you about that huh?"
"A little, not a lot I mean, it's Raph." He said with a shrug as she nodded.
"I don't know why I put those things on that stupid fuckin' list." She growled at herself. "I mean, I don't care that he's... Ya know and I never did. I always thought he was attractive being what he is, what you all are and he knows that but, because of that stupid bitch Meredith I am stuck being a douche not able to explain myself because seeing that list was all he needed to shut me out."
"If you could explain yourself what would you say?" Donnie asked as Felicia looked up at him. She thought to herself for a moment before shaking her head with a sigh.
"I love you." She shrugged. Donnie chuckled a little.
"You may need a little more than that."
Betty jumped up, putting out her hand and closing her eyes, with her head up towards the ceiling. "Take my hand, I give it to you. Now you own me, all I am. You said you would never leave me. I believe you, I believe. I can feel you all around me. Thickening the air I'm breathing. Holding on to what I'm feeling. Savoring this heart that's healed..." She sang as the song faded to an end. Betty breathed out, looking down at Willow and Leo who clapped for the band as everyone else joined in.
"I have to go set up for the next song." Felicia sighed, giving Donnie a hug. "Thank you for the dance, and talk."
"Anytime." He smiled, clapping his hands with everyone else as Betty took a bow.
"Thanks." Betty said with a soft giggle, fixing her hair that fell crazily around her face from head banging to the song. "I'm Betty." She said with a curtsey. "Riley, bridesmaid extraordinaire is on the drum kit. Tyler, brother number one is on the bass and Hayden we know." She said waving him off as Hayden walked up to the microphone.
"Whatever. It's my turn princess." Hayden looked over at his brother as Tyler walked over to his keyboard. Felicia walked on stage with synthesizer putting it next to Tyler's keyboard and pressing a button. She smiled at him, walking off the stage from where she came. "Our lovely assistant ladies and gentle. Isn't she beautiful?" Hayden called, clapping his hands as everyone followed. Felicia's face turned bright red as she shook her head, taking her seat. "This is a little more fun, please get up and dance with me." He smiled, turning to his brother with a smile as Tyler started the synthesizer playing beautiful sounds of violins and classical music. Tyler then turned the keyboard on and started playing a tune before yelling out a 'woo.' "Hey little mama!" Hayden sang, pointing out towards the crowd finding Willow's hairdresser, giving her a wink. "Ain't gotta ask me if I want to. Just tell me, can I get a light? Roll you up and let it run through, my veins. 'Cause, I can always see, the farthest stars when I'm on you. I don't ever wanna come down off this cloud of lovin' you. Now you got my hopped up on, that pusher love..."
Betty and Tyler sang backup as Hayden danced across the stage, walking down the steps as be went out onto the dance floor, walking over to his mother's table, taking his mother's hand and leading her to the dance floor as he sang.
"He's a good singer." Felicia heard from behind her as she stood at the bar, nursing a glass of wine. She couldn't fight with herself anymore to look at Raphael or not look at him so she took herself away from the situation. She needed a breather from his beautiful form, and face and the way he looked in that friggin' suit. It was too much. She turned with a jump, being broken out of her obsession to a familiar handsome face. "Sorry..." The caterer from before said with a chuckle. "I didn't introduce myself before, Jason." He said, holding out his hand as she moved her glass of wine to the other hand and shook his. "How do you know each other?" He asked, pointing towards Hayden as he danced through his sister and grandmother singing his high falsetto to all the ladies.
"Well... Jason." Felicia smiled as he nodded his head with his own smile. A lone dimple showing up in his lightly colored, five o'clock shadowed face. "Um, he's Willow's brother."
"And you're the Maid of Honor right?" He said, snapping his fingers. She chuckled a little with a nod. "Nervous about your speech?" He asked as she sighed and shrugged.
"Kinda."
"Don't be, you walked across that stage better than anyone I've ever seen so..." His eyes rose a little as Raphael came up to the bar. Jason moved aside for him and cleared his throat, trying to get Felicia's attention back as her eyes ranked over Raph's form quickly before turning and walking away from Jason. "Whoa, where you going?" He chuckled going after her, placing a hand on her bare shoulder. She turned again, looking at Jason's hand then up past him at Raph's gaze watching the two converse.
"Um, bathroom?" She shrugged, walking away as Jason persuaded again, only to be stopped where he stood by a heavy pressure on his shoulder.
"She walkin' away from you?" Raphael asked as Jason turned slowly, stepping out from Raph's hold.
"I guess so?" Jason sighed. "You her brother or somethin'?" He asked, crossing his arms trying to make his lanky tall frame seem even remotely sizable next to Raphael's.
"Or somethin'." He muttered. "She wants you to leave her alone? Leave. Her. Alone." He said pointing a finger at him before, grabbing his beer he left at the bar and walking back to the head table.
Felicia glared at Raph as he passed her from where she had been hiding in a little hallway that lead to the bathrooms. She hated this and she hated that fact that if she wanted to talk to someone, she shouldn't feel like she's cheating one someone who doesn't even care about her. She was just a good lay anyways to him, apparently.
Pushing herself away from the wall before she could let her mind catch up with her actions she walked up behind him, grabbing his large dress shirt covered sleeve that was rolled up to his elbow. His blazer had been long lost after the first dance. The feel of her fingertips over his skin sent an unwanted shiver up her spine. She clenched her teeth, looking straight into his eyes with as hard as a glare as she could muster.
"What the fuck is your problem?" She hissed at him. He turned slowly to look at her, taking a slow sip of his beer before answering.
"What?" He asked with a smile as she growled slapping his hard chest as hard as could muster.
"You're an idiot!" She said, walking away from him as he tilted his head, watching her walk back to her little hallway. He followed her, turning around the corner to her wiping her tears quickly from her face.
"What? What could you possible have to say to me?" She asked, through sniffing as Raphael sighed, walking up to her. "You've done enough to me the past couple days don't you think?" She asked as he shook his head.
"Tell me one thing..." He said as she laughed darkly, looking up at the large curved ceilings.
"Now you wanna talk? Awesome. What?" She asked, tossing her hands to the side as they fell heavily against her hips, turning her head towards him.
"You like that kid?" He asked, thumbing behind him as Felicia shook her head with a laugh, looking down at her shoes.
"No Raphael. I don't like that kid. Unfortunately I'm in love with someone else, who won't even let me tell him because he's too much of a stubborn ass to listen to me." She said plainly, looking up at him from red rimmed eyes. Raphael's eyes widened a little before Felicia shook her head again, pushing herself away from the wall. "We have a wedding to attend and I have makeup to fix so Willow doesn't have more to be stressed out than she already is." She said walking away.
"Wait..." Raph said, putting his hand on her arm as she tugged away.
"No, it's your turn to wait Raph." She said, turning from the hallway towards the bathrooms.
"Leonardo and I, along with my two other brothers didn't exactly have the most idyllic childhood." Donnie said, holding the microphone up in one hand and a glass of champagne in another. He stood next to his brother with everyone in the room looking at him. He never knew what stage fright felt like until this moment. "We weren't raised as normal...Kids." He said with a smirk, looking down at Leo who nodded. "Not that our childhood wasn't amazing," He corrected looking towards his father who sat with Paul at his side, a hand on his shoulder. "We were taught discipline and to respect everyone, especially family. Leo and I always found it easy to lean on each other in hard times when we were...Boys and even now as adults. We became best friends first and brothers after. Which is why one of the first times I ever met Willow, I knew that she was meant for my brother. Be it intuition..."
"Or being a genius." Betty added from the stage as Donnie turned to her with a smile.
"Or that," He shrugged as everyone laughed. "I just knew that Willow would be a good woman for my brother. My stubborn, wet blanket of a brother." He said, putting a hand on Leo's shoulder as Mikey laughed.
"He is such a wet blanket!" He called out in a laugh as everyone followed. Leo shook his head, glaring over at his little brother then back at Willow as she covered her mouth in a laugh.
"You are a wet blanket." She shrugged as he rolled his eyes.
"Willow is an amazing woman and my brother could not find a more perfect match. To Leonardo and Willow. May your lives together be as beautiful as they are on this day." Donnie said, raising his glass. Maggie called out 'saluto' and all of Willow's family followed taking a sip of their glasses.
"Now we'll have the beautiful maid of honor, Felicia Nickels." Betty said over the microphone. Felicia's face heated up as she rose from her seat to Donnie passing her the microphone he had. She cleaned her throat.
"Hi." She said softly as Maggie and Jane giggled.
"Hi Licia." Logan called out as Felicia rolled her eyes.
"So, I've known Willow since we were babies. Her mother and mine would roll us down the street together as they walked and talked. Paul always off on an adventure and my dad serving for our country." She said with a nod toward her dad as Willow looked to their father's with a smile. "They confided in each other, leaving Willow and I to learn from their example. We became easy friends, best friends, then life-long friends. When we were a little older Willow had a beautiful knack to get me into trouble..."
"No." Willow said shaking her head. "Tyler made me do it." She shrugged as her mother laughed.
"See, that is exactly what I dealt with." Felicia chuckled as everyone followed. "Anyways... Willow was always there for me no matter what and I'd like to think I did the same for her." She said looking down at her friend who nodded.
"Always." Willow smiled.
"Then after a couple of years of her moving to New York and trying a hand at her life long dream of becoming a writer and ending up a disc jockey, we lost touch a little. I'd call or she'd text but, never once did I think we'd not see each other again. It's not in our blood. Then, one day she brought up an unfamiliar name. Leonardo. I, of course hounded her until she gave me some details about this Leonardo but, she was very secretive of him. Almost as if the beginning of their relationship wasn't picturesque. Come to find out, it wasn't. He was, what did you call him Will? A stubborn ass?" Felicia asked as everyone including Willow and Leo chuckled. "When I first met Leo I was... Surprised." Felicia smirked giving Willow a knowing look. "I mean he's way too clean cut for Willow." She said as everyone laughed again. Willow snorted a laugh, putting her face in Leo's shoulder. "But, what I did see when I met Leo was how much he cared for Willow and how much she loved him. They're relationship is one we all should inspire for. Love, protection, and overall things trust. Leo trusts Willow with his life, and Willow the same. That is something most couples can never achieve..." She said, catching Raphael's eyes before moving back to Willow's. "To Willow and Leonardo." Felicia said raising her glass. "Please love, protect and trust my friend forever." She said as Leonardo nodded, leaning over and giving Willow a kiss on the cheek.
"Forever." He said softly as Willow turned to him, kissing his mouth softly.
"To the bride and groom!" Hayden said as everyone cheered, clinking glasses having Leo and Willow kiss again. "Now, I believe that the bride has a special gift for the groom." Hayden smiled, as Betty moved over to another microphone, leaving the main one open.
Willow sighed, getting up from her seat in her large skirted dress and moved towards the stage. Everyone started clapping slowly as Mikey pulled out Leonardo's chair with him still in it making him get to his feet as well.
"C'mon dude, you get a front row for this." He smiled, putting the chair in the middle of the dance floor, right in front of Willow as she smoothed out her dress and fixed her hair. Clearning her throat she tapped the microphone.
"Hey." She said as people answered back. "I have been debating for months whether or not I should do this and I actually made the decision a couple nights ago, with my brother and Betty that I should. I cannot give you a lot Tiger, but I can give you these words that I will forever mean." She said, feeling tears start to swell in her eyes. "I love you." She said as Tyler started playing a few notes on his keyboard. "You've been on my mind..." She sang softly. "I grow founder everyday, lose myself in time, just thinking of your face. God only knows why it's taken me so long to let my doubts go, you're the only one that I want. I don't know why I'm scared, I've been here before. Every feeling every word, I've imagined it all. You'll never know, if you never try to forget your past and simply be mine...I dare you to let me be..." Riley and Hayden started playing along with the song. "Your one and only... I promise I'm worth it. To hold in your arms, so c'mon and give me a chance to prove that I'm the one that can walk that mile, until the earth stops." She clenched her eyes shut, picturing only her and Leonardo in the room. Him the only one listening to the lyrics as she sang them with all her heart.
Before she knew it, everyone was clapping as she sang the last lines of the song, opening her eyes to Leonardo standing right in front of her, out of his chair. She smiled down at him as he held out his hand for her. She took it, jumping off stage into his arms as their lips met.
"Come with me." Betty said, taking a Donnie's hand backstage with her as the band took a break. The cake was about to be cut and everyone was enjoying their dinners after working up a hunger from dancing to the list of songs her and Hayden had preformed. Felicia was on stage setting up some light classical and crooner music to play as everyone ate.
"Where are we going?" Donnie chuckled a little, slightly nervous as Betty lead him down a small corridor backstage.
"When does your stuff wear off?" She asked, looking around before turning down another tight squeeze of a corridor.
"Couple more minutes why?"
"Damn it..." She muttered stopping completely behind the stage, leaning her back against a wall of old stage curtains. "I didn't time it right." She sighed, rolling her eyes as Donnie looked at her confused.
"What is this about?"
"I wanted... To..." She shrugged a little, looking down at her ratty conserve covered feet. "Make out a little... And possibly, something else that could then in turn lead to something happening tonight in our room, together, alone..." She said, looking back up in his eyes as they slowly widened with the realization of what she was asking him.
"Oh... Oh! Oh..." He said, clearing his throat and looking back towards the corridor from where they came. "Um, well... Yeah that would be... Um, I mean did you want to... Here? Or..." She giggled a little shaking her head and putting her arms around his shoulders.
"No. I want to back in the room. Here I just wanted to be alone with you, as you." She said, kissing his lips softly and then frowning. "It's not the same." She pouted as he smiled.
"I am so glad that you feel that way." He sighed, kissing her again. They both turned their heads to a bang and giggle as Mikey and Riley made their way back towards the couple in a tangled mess. Riley's dress hiked up to her thighs and her legs wrapped tightly around Mikey's slim waist. Donnie cleared his throat, loudly as the two pulled away from each other quickly.
"Man..." Mikey sighed, putting Riley down on the floor.
"Betty! I told you about this spot in confidence!" Riley growled as Mikey waved at his nerdy brother.
"Sup bro." He smiled as Riley glared at her younger friend.
"You're so gonna pay for this later." Riley said pointing a finger at Betty.
"It's fine, we're done anyways." Betty said, waving her off. "I have a better spot." She said, tugging Donnie's hand to follow her.
"Where were we?" Mikey asked, picking Riley up and pinning her back against a wall of old curtains. Their lips met quickly as she gripped the back of his dress shirt at the nape of his neck in her hands tightly. They were disturbed once more by a conversation going on above them.
"No, I haven't found them yet." They both heard a male voice say. Mikey stopped, furrowing his brow as Riley leaned in, kissing his neck and cheeks. "No. I don't see how that is any of my concern, you sent me here for her, she didn't have the balls to tell me herself. I would have loved to been in that room with her telling me to do this ridiculous mission." Putting a hand over Riley's mouth Mikey looked up at the space between the stage and where he had Riley's body pinned between him and the wall. He saw a shadow moving back and forth in a pace, just making out his shoes. They were old ratty Nike's, white with a black symbol on the side. "No, I... Well, of course I would have listened. No, I'm not scared of some five foot two Japanese woman but that's not the... You don't get it, they're all humans here. I haven't seen one mutant or turtle around. Not even the stupid decorations. It's just a wedding. Well, yeah the names are the same. What do you mean what's the coincidence of that happening? There are a billion people in this city you don't think that could have a possibility of happening? Fine, maybe not a billion but, a lot! I don't care what you tell her, after this I'm done. She has us looking day and night for these freaks and who even knows if they exist? Just because she says they do? Have you seen them? Exactly. Fine! I'll report back in an hour." He sighed, placing the phone in his back pocket as they both noticed another shadow approach him.
"Oh, I didn't mean to interrupt anything. I didn't know you were on the phone..." Felicia said shyly as she walked up behind Jason. He smiled, putting his phone into his pocket shaking his head.
"No, it was no problem at all. Just another job." He shrugged with a smile. "You still owe me a dance you know." He said, putting his hand on Felicia's back and leading her back out onto the floor, towards the head table.
"That sounded like Felicia..." Riley said confused, matching that of the look Mikey had on his face. "What the hell was that?" She hissed, looking at Mikey's widening blue eyes.
"A problem." He sighed, helping her down and hurrying back out from behind the stage. "Don!" He called as softly as he could, grabbing his brother's shoulder from kissing Betty down another small corridor they found for themselves.
"What?" He hissed, furrowing his brow as he noticed his younger brother's normal carefree face scrunched up in worry. "What happened?"
"Foot."
"What about them?" Don asked, pushing Betty behind him as she grabbed onto his hand that was placed firmly on her stomach.
"They're here." Riley added as Mikey nodded. "Well... Just one, apparently." She sighed, waving for Mikey to finish. "He can explain it." Mikey smiled at her.
"We just overheard this dude on his phone talking about trying to find us here, and that he hasn't seen us. Karai sent someone here, to Willow and Leo's wedding man. She's fuckin' lost it!"
"Wait... How do we even know this is Karai? Maybe you heard wrong?" Don said as Riley shook her head.
"No dude he said he's on a mission that a 'five foot Japanese woman' put him on. He said he was looking for mutants and turtles! How is that not the Foot or Karai?" Mikey asked.
"This is bad..." Donnie sighed, taking Betty's hand and having her follow him and his brother out from behind the stage.
They all walked towards the head table, Mikey and Don both scanning the area quickly to see if anything wasn't looking as it did when they left.
"Where did you four sneak off to?" April asked in a chuckled before she noticed Donnie's face. "What happened?" She asked, standing up as Leo turned, noticing his long time friend's behavior. He stood too, kissing Willow on the cheek before nodding his head at Raphael to follow him at the end of the table.
"The Foot are here." Donnie whispered as April gasped, turning quickly to Casey who got to his feet, looking around the room himself. Leonardo did a quick scan as well, not noticing anything out of the ordinary. "They've infiltrated as bus boys, or a caterer... We're not sure. Mikey over heard a conversation one of them was having on the phone."
"What?" Willow hissed, glaring out towards the crowd. She noticed Felicia talking with some guy in the corner in a caterer uniform. "Who's that Felicia is talking to?" She asked, as Raph snorted a laugh.
"Some punk."
"He's overly friendly with her isn't he?" April asked as Willow nodded. "Let's go have a chat." She smirked as Willow nodded again following her friend. Leonardo grabbed his wife's arm.
"No. I'll go chat with him, you stay here."
"No." She said tugging her arm back. "That's my friend, this is my wedding. I am going over there. Nothing is going to happen Tiger. They're not going to attack the bride during the reception." She said rolling her eyes and walking ahead with April.
Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello and Casey all watched carefully with Riley and Betty by their side as April and Willow approached their friend in deep conversation. The caterer looked normal enough but, Willow had never got up close and personal with the Foot. She just got hit with an arrow and that was enough. April on the other hand fought side by side with the boys more than enough times.
"This doesn't feel right." Leo sighed as Donnie nodded.
"Spidey senses man, they're tingling like crazy." Mikey added, looking around the room as Raph sighed, putting down his beer.
"Only we would have this kinda luck." He groaned, crossing his arms over his large chest.
"We have to go take another vial soon too." Donnie added as they all sighed together.
"Oh, Willow wonderful dear. It's almost time to cut the cake." Jane said, stopping Willow on the way to her friend. Jane and Willow's mother put their arms through Willow's, turning her in the other direction where a couple of other caterers were rolling out a table with a beautiful white cake with pink stargazer lilies cascading down the side. Willow 'awed' at it for a moment, before remembering where she was and what she was doing. Looking over her shoulder at Felicia, still in a conversation and April looking nervously between Willow and Felicia.
"In a minuet, I need to go talk to Felicia." Willow said, pulling her arm back as Jane rolled her eyes.
"She'll be fine. He seems like a nice enough boy, besides she isn't the one we need for the cake. It's you and your husband." Maggie said with a smile as April grimaced, watching Felicia take the caterer arm and walk out of the large room.
"No... Felicia!" Willow called out as her friend kept walking ahead, not hearing Willow over the music from the stereo Felicia had set up for the bands break.
"I'll go." April said, hurrying her way to where Felicia had just went.
"Oh, is this serious?" Maggie asked, as Jane furrowed her brow watching as daughter and mother share a knowing look. "Oh... Maybe we should give her a minuet." Maggie said to Jane as she watched Willow follow after April.
"Wait... What's wrong with Felicia?" Jane asked, moving to go follow after April as Willow and Maggie both took one of her arms.
"No!" They both said in unison as Willow smiled nervously to Jane's confused expression. "She's fine..." Willow said. "I mean, how would it look if her mother follows after her?" She added as Jane sighed with a nod.
"Maybe I should get Logan."
"No, no." Maggie said, waving off her friend. "Let the girls handle this." She said, sliding her arm through her best friend's. "Let's go take a closer look at that cake. You know the bakery where Izzy got it from was the same one that mum and dad used when..." Maggie walked out of ear shot as Willow slowly started in the other direction.
"Where'd they go?" She asked, hiking up her skirt a little to run down to where April was. April looked up and down the small hallway where she saw Felicia and this caterer go.
"They went through that door but, it looks like a utility closet? Maybe we should get one of the guys to check on her. If we barge in it might seem weird? And, I can't exactly fight in heels and a skirt." April suggested. "I mean, best case scenario he's just a caterer wanting to hit on the bridal party?"
"Maybe... Lemme go get Raph." Willow smiled as April sighed.
"What if they're making out?"
"Then Raph kills the kid, it's a win win." Willow shrugged as April chuckled a little. They both walked back into the reception hall, making eye contact with boys' worried faces. Willow went over to her mother to tell her to get the cake ready and April went over to Raphael.
"Go check on her." She said, giving Raphael a pointed look as he sighed.
"Why me?" He asked as she said nothing, turning her body towards him fully and crossing her arms over her dark pink, satin covered chest. Glaring at her for a moment he sighed once more and nodded his head, walking to where the girls came from.
Stopping at the door where April said they went he glared at it as if she could feel it from the other side. She sure moves on quickly for someone who's 'in love'. Her voice repeating the words 'in love with someone else' kept playing over and over again in his head. She was in love with him? Then why the hell write that list? She had a very funny way of showing it if she did actually love him. Especially as he stood outside of a door that may or may not have her on the inside with another man. If he walked in on something with her and someone else, he couldn't possibly prepare himself for that. His initial reaction would be just smash whatever came in his path, especially that kid's face.
Opening the door quickly and stumbling in Felicia and Jason both jumped to the sound. Raphael did a quick inventory of their postures and body language. Jason was leaned over Felicia as she had both hands behind her back and leaned her back against the wall, her legs out in front of her so his body could be kept further from her own. Jason obviously was looking for more with his forearm bent against the wall next to Felicia's head as his body weight leaning against it. Now both were leaned up from the wall, Felicia with her arms crossed over her chest and a glare on her face.
"Raph?" Felicia asked as Jason's eyes widened to the name and a small smirk went over his face.
"Sorry, where's the bathrooms?" Raph asked in a slight slur as Felicia opened her mouth but stopped at Jason's chuckle.
"Down there man." Jason said pointing down the hall.
"Thanks." He Raphael said letting the door shut. He put a hand over his face shaking his head to himself. "Idiot." He muttered, going back down the hall a little ways, waiting for the two to come out.
"So, Raph huh? He looks out for you a lot."
"He's my ex." She said rolling her eyes. "Recently... It's complicated." She sighed, looking down at her black peep-toe shoes.
"When isn't a break up complicated?" Jason asked with a shrug, running a finger over Felicia's forehead and moving her bangs from her eyes. She smirked a little looking back up at him and adjusting her glasses.
"Listen, I appreciate you being nice to me and all but, me and him just broke up and I don't see you and I..." Jason's phone buzzed in his pocket and he sighed, flipping it open and giving Felicia a apologetic smile.
"Hello? No, I still haven't..." He sighed, looking back towards Felicia and his smile became bigger. "I do have something else though." He said looking down at his shoes quickly before Felicia noticed his behavior. Turning from her he whispered "Meet me outside in two." and snapped his phone shut, placing it back in his pocket.
"Work again?" Felicia asked as he nodded.
"Wanna go get some air?" He asked as Felicia shrugged.
"Sure, they're just gonna cut the cake, they don't need me for that." She said as Jason took her hand and walked to the back of the maintenance closet they were in.
Bright light from outside flooded into Felicia's eyes, blinding her for a moment. Putting a hand over her brow to shade herself from it she noticed that they were behind the hotel, down an alleyway. She looked around smelling the sweet, foul stench of garbage and the hotel's past meals.
"So much for fresh air." She sighed, giving Jason a smile as he looked up and down the street. A black car pulled up quickly in front of them as Jason took Felicia's hand and led her to it. "What's going on?" She asked, before furrowing her brow and trying to tug her hand from Jason's grip. "Hey, Jason! What the hell!" She said as he pulled her towards him, covering her mouth.
"Not. One. More. Word." He hissed at her, opening the back door of the expensive, sleek car and tossing her in. She looked around fanatically to see if anyone else had noticed or even cared that she was being towed away by a bus boy at her best friend's wedding, but nobody was around. The streets were cleared of people and the alleyway empty. She tried her door, and then her window with no avail.
"Who's this?" The driver asked, a woman with short, choppy blonde hair and dark blue highlights. Felicia tried the door again, shaking the handle as Jason chuckled. "Child locks sweetheart, nice try."
"She's dating one of the them." Jason said, as he took out a roll of duck tape from underneath the passenger side seat. He smiled over at Felicia, pulling a long piece out and grabbing her hands. She jerked back, moving her knees to her chest and pushing them against him as he came at her. He slammed hard against the backseat passenger side door with a grunt. The driver turned around in her seat, getting on her knees and grabbing Felicia's shoulders, pulling her back hard against her door making her head slam against the glass window. "Hold her tight." Jason said, pushing Felicia's legs down with his weight, placing his knee down over her shins. Felicia hissed in pain, trying to jerk her body out of the driver's grip but, was just held tighter. Jason broke off the long piece of duck tape with his teeth and rolled it tight around Felicia's wrists a couple times before taking another piece and putting it over her mouth. "Such a waste." He sighed, breathing heavily from the fight and adjusting her glasses for her on her face.
"So, she was dating one?" The driver asked, turning back in her seat and fixing her hair.
"Yeah." Jason chuckled, shaking his head.
"What? Really? Gross..." The driver said pulling out of the alleyway, and into traffic.
"Not as gross as marrying one of them." Jason said shaking his head. "You're hot too. What the hell is wrong with you?" He asked, looking towards Felicia as she felt tears start to well in her eyes. She breathed heavily through her nose, trying to push herself up on the seat to fix her dress. Her tied hands sat in her lap, shaking and her heart raced in her chest. Her pink dress was torn a little on the bottom from the fight, and hiked up above her knees.
"Are they good in the sack?" The driver asked in a laugh as they started down the streets at a speeding pace. Felicia put her hands up, grabbing her seat buckle and trying to put it over her lap. Jason rolled his eyes, clicking it in place for her. She wanted to scream, she wanted to kick out and break the windows and jump out of the car but, she was frozen in fear. She didn't know how to react. She wasn't ready for this... But, how could she have possibly been ready for something like this?
"So, what do we tell mistress when we bring her this?" The driver asked as Jason shrugged.
"Let her figure it out. I did my job."
"No, your job was to bring one of them back. Not one of their fuck toys."
"Are you kiddin' me? Did you see them? As humans, they're huge. Like, abnormally huge."
"And it took you this long to figure out that they're not actually humans? You're a fuckin' idiot." The driver chuckled as Jason shook his head.
"Whatever Kayla, I did my job now shut up and do yours."
Raphael pushed himself away from the wall, walking slowly back towards the door where he stumbled in to find his once girlfriend cozening up to some punk ass who had no place laying a single hand on her.
Placing his ear against the door he heard the sound of tires screeching against concrete. He moved quick, pushing his shoulder against the door and leading with it as he raced down the small space of the closet. He emerged out into the alleyway, looking to where a black car was leaving, heading fast into traffic.
"No..." He breathed, racing after it before watching it turned down another alleyway with the same noise of screeching tires that caught his attention to begin with. "No!" He yelled out crossing the street in a sprint, leaping over the hood of a parked car easily to try and cut off the black car at another alleyway.
Watching the car speed ahead of him, he leaned down his hands on his knees breathing heavily from the run.
"God damn it!" He yelled, turning towards a metal door and punching it hard, denting the metal before doing it again, then again. Feeling his phone buzz in his pocket he reached in with a shaky, blooded hand and opened it to Donatello's number. "What." He growled.
"She's gone isn't she?" Donnie asked looking down the maintenance closet with the alleyway door opened on the other end and Betty at his side. Raph sighed, nodded his head before answering.
"Yes. That fucker is going to pay." He said, leaning up from the dented door. "Meet me in the back alleyway."
"What are we going to do?" Betty asked as she stood in the hallway with Donnie, April, Casey, Mikey and Riley.
"We have to go get her." Mikey said as Riley nodded.
"What about the wedding?" Donnie asked as Riley snorted.
"Please, you think after Willow hears this she'll even care about the wedding?"
"Hear what?" Willow asked as she smiled with Leo, holding hands and wiping frosting off the side of his face. "Where's Raph and Felicia?"
"Um..." Donnie started as Casey and Mikey grimaced. Willow's hands dropped quickly to her side.
"No." She breathed as Leo faced formed into a serious glare.
"Where's Raph?" He asked, walking quickly past his brother's as everyone followed behind him.
"Back alleyway, he must have tried to follow them before they got away." Donnie said as they all walked out into the alleyway.
"She trusts too easily!" Willow growled, hiking up her long dress to keep up with Leonardo's pace.
"We literally have two minuets before this wears off too." Don said looking down at his watch as he kept in pace with his brother.
"We need to go to the dojo and get out weapons. I'm not fighting them like this. They wanted us they can have us." Leo said, walking out into the alleyway where Raphael was waiting for them, leaning against the brick wall. Leo noticed his brother's bloody hand but, said nothing. "We're going to the dojo." He turned quickly to the girls in their beautiful dresses and his now wife. "Willow, I..."
"I'm going."
"The hell you are!" Raphael said as Leo sighed.
"You, you and you are staying." Mikey said, pointing at Willow Riley and Betty. "This is something we need to do and we're not going to be distracted with you there. It's bad enough Felicia already got herself in trouble, you're not getting capture either. I will not have that." He said as Donnie, Raph and Leo all looked at their younger brother.
"Well said Mikey." Don said with a smile clapping a hand on his back. "I will be back." He said, walking up to Betty who had tears welling in her eyes and placing his hands on either side of her face. "You're going to stay with April. If anything happens go to the lair, you know the safe codes." He said, looking at April who nodded.
"Be careful." April said as Willow nodded.
"You better. I need more than one day with you." She said as Leo who turned back to her, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist and pressing their bodies together.
"I am coming back to you. They will not get away with this that easily." He said, taking a long breath in of her. Her hair, her skin, just the complete essence of everything that was Willow. He pulled back from her as she nodded her head, warm tears rolling slowly down her cheeks. He leaned forward, kissing them away before kissing her lips. She tugged him hard against her, gripping tightly onto his jacket collar at his neck.
"You need to come back." She whispered, pressing her forehead to his as he nodded. "I need you Tiger."
"I love you." He said as she sniffed, pulling back and releasing him after another soft kiss.
"I love you too."

Now, if I could only play out the wedding performances out in my head and record it like a movie that would be amazing. However, it doesn't work like that and I am not boring everyone with each and every single song.
