"So Raph, who are you taking to the dance?" Mikey asked as they walked home.
"A girl named Hannah." Raph said, his face getting red1 just thinking about her. Mikey smirked.
"You're blushing." Mikey commented, touching Raph's face.
"Am not!" Raph defended, trying to forget about her. Mikey laughed.
"Raph's got a girlfriend!" Mikey exclaimed, pointing at Raph. Raph's face was now completely red and he grit his teeth.
"Shut. Up." He said, grabbing Mikey by his sweatshirt. Mikey laughed one last time before Raph let him go. Leo was about to open the manhole but Don stopped him.
"Shouldn't we get some clothes for tonight?" Don asked his brothers.
"I was going to go in just this." Mikey said, pulling on his sweatshirt.
"April sait to come kind of dressy." Don said, starting back out of the alley.
"Like the kind of clothes that we wore to the mall?" Mikey wined.
"Yeah, no tuxedoes or anything, just dressy." Don said. Raph and Mikey groaned. Leo gave a small smile, thinking about Karai in a dress.
"Ug, I hate clothes." Mikey said as they started to the mall.
"Deal with it." Raph said. They walked into the mall and headed to the same clothing store as before. Mikey picked up a white button down shirt and a orange bow tie.
"Is this okay?" He asked Don and Leo. They nodded.
"Get some dress pants or khacki pants to go with it." Don said, looking around.
"What are you? A fashion expert?" Mikey mumbled as he looked around for some khacki pants. Don grabbbed a while button down shirt and a purple necktie. He found some black dress pants too. Raph found a white polo shirt and a red necktie.
"Do we really have to go dressed up?" Raph asked, hodling some black dress pants up.
"Yes Raph." Leo said, grabbing a white polo and a blue necktie. Raph sighed and turned away. He spotted two girls in the back. One looked exactly like Hannah. The girl turned so Raph could see her face. It WAS Hannah. He quickly looked away before she could see him.
"Hi Mikey!" Came a very loud voice. Mikey turned around and saw Holly.
"Hey Holly. What are you doing here?" Mikey asked, hoping that she wasn't stalking him again. Raph looked up and saw Holly next to Hannah.
"I'm getting a dress for tonight with my sister, Hannah." She said. Hannah gave a shy wave, her long dirty blonde hair in her face. Holly flipped her short wavy red hair back.
"Hannah?" Raph asked, standing straight up. She looked over.
"Hello Raphael," She said, walking over. Raph's face got red.
"J-just call me Raph." Raph said with a tiny smile. Mikey smirked at him, "So you and Holly are sisters?"
"Yeah." Hannah said, twirling her hair. They both smiled and looked at each other. Raph's face got reddder as he looked into her violet eyes, "I never noticed how pretty your eyes are." She pointed out. Raph smiled. He never really liked his green eyes. No one else in his family had eyes like his; Splinter and Don had reddish brown eyes and Leo and Mikey had blue eyes. He didn't like being so different.
"T-thanks." He said, his heart pounding out of his chest.
"Come on lover-boy. We have to go." Leo said, dragging Raph away.
"See you tonight!" Raph called. Hannah smiled and waved. Leo payed for the clothes and they headed out. Mikey was on Raph's case the whole walk home.
"Raph and Hannah sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Mikey sung, walking around Raph. Raph clenched his fists and grit his teeth. Don laughed, he was glad that Mikey was bothering somebody else about liking somebody.
"Be carefull not to get our clothes dirty Leo." Don said as Leo climbed down the manhole.
"Got it." Leo said once Don lept down.
"I'm so excited!" Mikey said, jumping up in down in the water and splashing Raph.
"We get it!" Raph said, pushing Mikey back. He would've fallen if he wasn't a trained ninja. So they walked home for the hundreth time this week.
"Can I wear a cape?" Mikey asked Leo as they entered the lair.
"Why would you wear a cape Mikey?" Leo asked flatly.
"Well, I want to be different and all that!" Mikey said.
"Where would you even GET a cape?" Don asked, getting his clothes out from the shopping bag.
"My room. Duh." Mikey said with a shrug.
"Sure, go ahead and make a fool of yourself." Leo said, shooing Mikey away. Mikey jumped for joy and ran to his room.
"He's already made a fool of himself." Don said, leaving to his room. Leo nodded and grabbed his clothes to hang them up.
A few hours passed of Mikey not being able to stay still and of Don pep talking to himself. Leo watched Space Heroes (not surprising) and Raph lay on his hammock thinking about tonight. He really wanted to hang out with Hannah, but he didn't Mikey bugging him.
"Guys! Get ready!" Leo called. Mikey jumped and switching into his outfit. Don smiled at his reflection and then turned to get ready. Raph took a deep breath and stood to get dressed. Leo went back into his room and got into his new clothes. He closed his eyes and took deep breaths. They all went into the TV room. Splinter stood there with his hands behind his back.
"I can't beleive that you're wearing that cape." Raph said, nudging Mikey. Mikey beamed.
"No bringing any girls home with you." Splinter said, pacing. They all got in a line.
"Aye Sensei." They all said, getting ready to turn and leave.
"No going ANYWHERE else but the school gym." He ordered.
"Aye sensei." They answered, getting back in line.
"No going behind the gym."
"Aye sensei." They said, not caring to get back in line.
"And most of all, have fun." Sensei said. They all turned around.
"Aye sensei." They said, bored. They dispersed and were almost out when...
"But not to much fun!" Splinter sternly said, looking at Raph.
"Sensei!" They said, stopping and looking back. They all ran back to the surface. They walked carfully on the sides to make sure they didnt get anything on them. Leo opened the manhole and slowly crawled out. Mikey was the last out and he slipped the cover back on.
"Let's go!" Mikey said, practicly running. Leo and Don sighed and followed. Raph was almost two steps behind, his stomach in knots.
"You okay Raph?" Leo asked, looking back.
"Yeah, usually you'd be slapping Mikey uside the head by now." Don pointed out.
"I-I'm fine. Really." Raph said, speeding up to the same pace as Don and Leo. Don smirked when he saw the expression on Raph's face. He slowed down, as did Raph.
"You're nervous." Don said once they were a sfe distance from Mikey and Leo.
"Shut up." Raph said, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"No, I'm not making fun of you, I'm just saying. I know how you feel." Don said. Raph shrugged.
"Then how come you don't seem nervous?" Raph asked, looking up.
"I've trained myself to not be nervous around you guys. Once I get to the dance, I'll be a nervous wreck." Don said with a laugh, "It'll go away after you're there for a while, don't worry." Raph took a deep breath.
"Taking romance advice from my little brother who's taller then me. Seems normal enough." Raph joked, giving Don a little punch on the arm. Don smiled.
"You are very welcome." Don said with a tiny bow.
"We're here!" Mikey yelled, running back to where Donnie and Raph walked. They rushed into the gym and saw laser lights and heard blarring music. Mikey immediatly was absorbed in trying to follow the laser lights with his eyes. Raph spotted Holly and Hannah in the corner and flushed. His heart sped.
"Mikey!" Holly yelled, running over with Hannah, "You're wearing a cape too!" She spun around, modeling her long orange cape. She wore a flowery orange and yellow dress.
"I love you're dress." Mikey said, walking off next to her.
"I love your bowtie." She said, poking the orange bowtie around his neck. Raph's heat was going the speed of a rocket as he looked at Hannah. She wore a white dress with a lace design at the top. A bit of her long hair was pinned back by a silver butterfly clip. Raph fake coughed and pulled at the neck of his shirt.
"You're not wearing you're glasses." Raph noticed.
"Yeah, I thought it would look better if I wore my contacts." She said, flipping her hair behind her shoulder.
"You look beautiful." Raph said, mentally slapping himself right after he said it.
"Thanks. You look pretty nice yourself." She said, blushing. Raph smiled and lead her to the punch table.
"H-hi April." Don said, noticing April walking toward him. She waved. Her hair was down and reached just pass her shoulders. She wore a short, yellow dress. Don started sweating, Here's the nervousness. He thought as they stood before each other.
"You clean up nice." April said, making Don's face turn a bright red.
"You look really pretty." Don said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Let's dance!" She said, grabbing his hand.
"O-okay." Don coughed out, following her. Leo spotted Karai and walked over to her. She was leaning up against the far wall.
"Hey Karai." Leo said. She wore a form fitting black dress that made Leo's knees weak. She looked over at him and stood up straight.
"Hi Leo." She said, trying to hide her excitment.
"Why aren't you dancing?" He asked, nodding towards the giant group of teenagers dancing.
"I don't like to dance. It makes me feel like a complete moron. Why aren't you?" Karai said, leaning back up against the wall. Leo leaned back with her.
"I just can't dance. That's Mikey's department." Leo said. Karai smiled.
"You're a horrible dancer Mikey!" Holly announced as they danced around.
"Am not!" Mikey defended with a huge smile.
"I still can't beleive that we both wore capes!" She loudly said so she could be heard over the music.
"You weren't watching me to see what I was going to wear were you?" Mikey asked.
"No way. I'm weird but not that weird!" She said. Mikey let out a sigh of relief. A slow song suddenly came on.
"May I have this dance?" Mikey asked with a bow.
"You may." Holly said, curtsying. Mikey took her hand and they bagan to dance.
"Hey Don, want to dance?" April asked. Don's face turned red.
"I don't know how to slow dance though." Don said as she dragged him out to the middle.
"You do it like this; you put your hands here," She said, placing his hands on her hips, "And I put my hands here." She wrapped her arms around his neck. Don started sweating but smiled. He wanted this moment to last forever. They started swaying back and forth, "See, easy." Don looked into her blue eyes. They reflected the green and blue laser lights. They started leaning towards each other until their foreheads touched. April tilted her head up and their lips met. Don wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and almost picked her up. They separated, thier foreheads still touching.
"I love you." Don said before thinking. They let go of each other and stood facing oppisite directions. It was getting awkward, "S-sorry." Don said, turning back around.
"It's alright." April said, grabbing Don's face and kissing him again, "I love you too."
"Great, a slow song." Karai mumbled, her face getting hot. Leo looked over at her.
"Want to dance?" Leo asked, reaching his hand out. She looked at it.
"I don't know how to." She said truthfully.
"Me neither." Leo said, holding her hand. She grinned and gave him her other hand. Leo looked around at the other people and put his hands on Karai's waist. She looked suprised and smiled, putting her arms around his neck. They swayed back and forth. Slowly, they leaned closer, but Leo pulled back at the last minute.
"Oh come here." She said, yanking him to her. She closed her eyes when thier lips met. Leo blushed and stared at her for a little. He grinned a bit, his eyes drfting shut. He pulled her off the ground and spun her around.
Raph rocked back and forth on his heels when the song came on. He turned to look at Hannah. She stood there and watched the laser lights move along the wall. Raph smiled.
"Want to dance?" Raph asked. She looked at him and smiled.
"Sure." She said, putting her arms around his neck. He placed his hands around her hips as they swayed back and forth. She leaned up to him and rested her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes. Raph smiled and stroked her soft hair. He took a deep breath, not ever wanting this night to end.
The slow song came to a stop and Hannah let go of Raph. They smiled at each other for a little bit.
"I'm going to go get some punch." She said, nodding to the snack table. Raph smiled and watched her walk away. Then, he noticed something missing from the table. It was the punch bowl. Raph noticed three guys coming up behind Hannah. Holding the punch bowl.
"HANNAH!" Raph yelled, starting over. She turned back just in time to be splashed with red punch. She dropped the tiny plate that had two cookies abd looked down at herself. They three guys laughed and high fived each other. Raph's blood began to boil. Hannah fell to her knees, crying.
"What was that for?!" Raph demanded, walking over and pushing one of the guys. The guy staggered back and looked Raph.
"Well look who's back." He said, throwing a punch. Raph ducked and grabbed his arm. He twisted it in an impossible position. They guy screamed.
"Why. Did. You. Do. That?" Raph asked, even more sternly. The guy looked at Raph's face.
"Did you grow up under a rock you idiot?" The guy asked with a smile. Raph twisted his arm more. Any more and it would break off. All eyes turned to the fight.
"WHY?!" Raph asked, shaking the guy.
"That's my girl you got there." He said, kicking Raph's leg. Raph let go and staggered back.
"I'm not your girl anymore!" Hannah yelled. It was the first time Raph heard her voice raise, "You are a self-centered lady stealing cheater!" She stood up and pushed him. He smiled at her and grabbed her. She slapped him hard across the face.
"What's wrong Hannah?" The guy asked, coming at her. Raph clenched his fists and punched the guy in the nose before he could get close to her.
"Get. Out. Before. I. Kill. You." Raph said through grit teeth. The guy's nose bled hard as he looked Raph in the eye. He turned and grabbed the other two.
"I was getting bored anyway." He said as he left. A crowd had congregated around the fight. They crowd clapped and cheered. Hannah ran over to Raph and gave him a big hug. The music started back and the crowd dispersed.
"Thank you." She whispered, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. Raph grinned and hugged her back.
"You're welcome. And also, you're getting punch on my shirt." He said. She leaned back and looked at him.
"Why did you do that?" She asked.
"I can't stand bullies." Raph said with a smile. He leaned towards her and kissed her on the lips. She put her hands on the sides of his face and tilted her head. Hannah leaned back again.
"We've only known each other for a few hours and I already love you." Hannah said, resting her head on his shoulder. Raph put his chin on the top of her head.
"You are the most beautiful girl I've met. Even with punch all over the front of you." Raph said with a smile.
"You're just saying that." Hannah said, looking up at him.
"It's the truth. I promise." Raph said. Hannah gave a happy sigh as they started rocking back and forth.
A few hours later...
Teachers came into the gym and started flipping the light switches on. The music stopped. Some peope booed at them. The teachers started shooing people away.
The four boys stood out in the parking lot with their dates. Mikey gave Holly a peck on the cheek and she squeeled with excitement. April got on her tpi toes and gave Don another kiss.
"See you at school tomorrow." April said. Don nodded with a huge smile. April waved good-bye and made her way home. Leo put his hand under Karai's chin and kissed her again.
"We're still mortal enemies. Don't forget that." Karai said with an evil grin.
"And you don't ever come near my brothers." Leo said, returning the look. Karai gave a quick laugh then started walking away.
"See you tomorrow." Raph said, hugging Hannah. Hannah looked up at him and smiled.
"I love you." She said. Raph smiled.
"I love you too." He said after an awkward silence. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek then turned away to catch up with Holly.
"Raph and Hannah sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-" Mikey sung. Raph grabbed him by the shirt before he could finish.
"You finish that song and I swear-" Raph threatened.
"G!" Mikey yelled, squirming away. Raph started chasing him. Don and Leo laughed as they started their trip home.
"I was thinking that we'd better go on patrol tonight." Leo said, looking at all his brothers.
"In these clothes?!" Donnie asked.
"No, we can get our masks on and gear and all that." Leo said. Don nodded.
"Why our masks?" Mikey asked.
"So no one knows our identity. And now we have a legit reason to wear them." Don answered for Leo. Leo opened the manhole and ushered everyone down.
"So what are we gonna wear again?" Mikey asked over and over.
"Mikey, for the hundreth time, we are going to wear green jump suits that we found, and our masks and gear." Leo said with a sigh. Mikey nodded. they walked into the lair and rushed to their rooms to get ready.
"Ready." Don called, walking into the TV room. He patted his pocket that had the owl feather. He was keeping it for good luck. Raph and Leo joined him. Leo put his hands in his pocket and felt some of the lion fur.
"Can someone help me with my mask?!" Mikey asked, wearing his mask backwards. Leo sighed and straightened Mikey's mask. Mikey gave a thumbs up and they headed out.
Raph rolled up his pants and walked in the water. He suddenly shuddered. He felt something rub up against his leg. Raph pulled his leg up and looked down. He could see a little green snake tail swishing back and forth. He shuddered again and started walking on the sides. Leo was the first out and Mikey was last.
Mikey pulled the cover back on and looked around the alley. He saw the homeless man sleeping like always. Then, he spotted something moving in a trach can. A little orange cat crawled out.
"Aw!" Mikey said, walking over and picking it up. He rubbed its chin and it began to purr.
"Do you have to pet every cat you see in New York?" Donnie asked. Mikey sat the tiny cat down and it scurried away.
"Yes, yes I do." Mikey said, climbing onto the roof. Don sighed and followed. Then Leo and Raph climbed up.
"WHOOOOO!" Mikey yelled, jumping across an alley. Don shushed him. The four of them stopped and looked around.
"Well nothing's happening, let's go," Raph said, leaning up against a door. Leo held his hand up for him to be quiet. He motioned for his brothers to come close.
"The Kraang." Mikey whispered.
"With mutagen. That's never good." Don noted, seeing them load canister asfter canister of glowing ooze into the back of a white van.
"Let's go." Leo said, jumping off. Mikey flipped off and Donnie and Raph just lept down.
"These humans appear to share same features of the face as the ones called the turtles." One of the kraang bots said. Don shook his head at their horrible grammar skills. The boys got out their weapons and started bashing bots (or in Mikey's case, cleaning closets).
The kraang didn;t put up much of a fight. They climbed into the van and it started away. But, before it was to far away, one of the bots threw an open canister at them.
"Scatter!" Leo yelled. It was too late. Glowing mutagen splashed all over them. Donne wiped it out of his eyes and tried getting the stuff off. Mikey screamed. Raph tried shaking it off, it wasn't working. Leo attempted to wipe it off also. He epicly failed.
Pain filled the four brothers so much that they couldn't bear it. They all fainted and fell to the ground next to each other.
This chapter was a little long. Hey, I bet you don't know what they get turned into, but if you do, don't say it out loud and spoil it for everyone else!
