A/N: Hello! I KNOW I'VE GOT OTHER THINGS TO FINISH OFF BUT I HAD TO DO THIS XD

After the most recent episode, I am officially Ramona trash. So, of course, I had to write something about them. This takes place in the same (kind of) universe as the 'Brothers' saga, so Karai is living with her real family, and Mona Lisa visits earth every few months to see her turtle bae :3

I OWN NOTHING BUT MY SHIPPER FEELS!

Enjoy!

One on One

"Okay, so you kick your leg out before or after you leap?"

"After. And then that is where I would use my tail, but seeing as you don't have one…as far as I can tell…you may have to alter the move slightly. Try using your right foot immediately after kicking out with your left as a substitute."

"Oh, okay, got it. Alright, let's try it one more time. You ready, Mona?"

Getting into position, the Salamandrian warrior nodded once, smiling confidently at her opponent as she put up her fists. "Ready when you are, Raphael. Rokka Rokka!"

From where he stood beneath the evergreen tree, both hands braced atop his cane, the old ninja master watched with great interest as his second eldest child – third eldest now, he had to remind himself – charged at his alien sparring partner, attempting to imitate the move she'd shown him before.

He leapt into the air, his left foot kicking out, aimed at her face, which she parried with her forearm, before his right leg lashed out in a sweeping motion. At that, her tail whipped out, wrapping around his ankle, swinging him around and throwing him into the wall.

Splinter winced a little when he heard his shell connect with the brickwork. He was undoubtedly going to feel that in the morning.

With a groan of pain, Raphael slid down the wall and collapsed to the carpet, flat on his face. "…ow," he muttered into the floor.

The salamander chuckled, sauntering over to the unfortunate turtle. "Not quite, Raphael. And this is the third time in a row that I've taken you down," she said, extending her webbed hand out for him to take hold of as she regarded the mutant with a knowing smile. "Should we try once more? Or have you finally accepted your defeat by my hand?"

From the other side of the room, Splinter stifled a chuckle as he shook his head. After such a taunt, it wouldn't take April's psychic abilities to foretell what was to happen next.

Taking her hand and allowing himself to be hauled effortlessly to his feet, Raph looked up at the smirking lizard woman, pouting sourly. He then sighed, shaking his head and planting his hands on his hips. "Well, I don't know if you knew this, but there's a saying…"

He jumped, left foot striking the side of her face followed by his right foot sweeping behind her legs, knocking her right off her feet with a startled shout. Mona Lisa hit the ground, and Raphael planted his knee on her stomach, pinning her down as he drew his fist up for the finishing blow. However, his fist never fell, and instead, he grinned widely.

"…fourth time's the charm."

This time, Splinter did chuckle, for not only had Raphael succeeded, but the look on the young woman's face was quite amusing as she blinked up at him, utterly taken aback by what had just happened, before she returned his grin.

"Very good, Raphael," she said as he released her, and held out his hand for her to take.

"I am inclined to agree," said Splinter, approaching the duo as they stood side by side, facing the ninja master. "Not only did you take advantage of your opponents' temporary distraction, but you have mastered a new technique, a very impressive and effective one, I might add." He then nodded at Mona Lisa. "I thank you for sharing such a skill, Mona Lisa. You are truly a remarkable warrior."

Smiling, Mona Lisa bowed her head to the rat. "Thank you, Master Splinter. It is a great honor to spar with your son under your instruction," she said, turning to look down at the shorter turtle, deep affection filling her dark eyed gaze. In turn, as he looked up at her, the red clad turtle's emerald green eyes filled with adoration, his cheeks turning a light shade of crimson as a bashful grin spread across his face.

Splinter looked between the two of them, and a smile soon grew across his muzzle. Though the news of his most hot-headed son suddenly having a girlfriend – an alien girlfriend, for that matter – had been nothing short of a surprise for the rat master, as well as the most uncanny tale of their adventures in outer space, he could not deny that seeing such love in his son's eyes, the same love he had felt towards the former love of his life, Tang Shen…it warmed his heart in ways no words could truly convey. And knowing that such love was fully reciprocated only intensified the feeling.

For years, though it hadn't hurt to hope, Splinter had believed that his four wonderful sons would never find the true love they deserved. However, the night his boys had first encountered April O'Neil had been the start of him being proven wrong when Donatello took a liking to the young red head. And the events that followed with Leonardo and Karai, Michelangelo and this Renet girl he had yet to meet, and now with Raphael and the wonderful Mona Lisa…it was simply so surreal.

The happiness of his children was all Splinter had ever truly wanted. And to see the two of them now, lost in each other's gaze…

It gave him an idea.

With lightning speed, Splinter set down his cane, grabbed both Mona Lisa and Raphael by the back of their heads before they could possibly react, and without further ado –

"MMPH!"

–he pressed their muzzles together.

"SENSEI!" Raph cried as soon as they parted, whilst Mona Lisa stood there looking very flustered as she blushed hard.

Chuckling, Splinter picked up his cane and began to walk away. He was a ninja master and teacher, and a very disciplined one at that. But he was also a father of four boys – well, five counting Casey – and two teenage girls; it was also his duty to embarrass his children when he saw fit. "Please, Raphael. I am well aware that this is not the first time the two of you have kissed," he said, taking full inward delight in hearing the strangled sound of humiliation coming from his son.

Then, pausing at the exit of the dojo, he turned to look over his shoulder at the couple, grinning.

"Also, I might add, with how quickly the two of you have established your relationship, I shall be expecting grandchildren very soon."

Raphael's jaw seemed to drop to the floor, eyes impossibly wide and face turning a very bright shade of red to match the hue of his mask. Beside him, Mona's eyes had grown just as wide, before they darted over to Raph. Then, much to Raphael's further mortification, she began to smirk behind her hand.

"D-DAD!" Raphael screeched, his voice cracking two whole octaves.

Still grinning, Splinter merely turned on his heel and swiftly exited the dojo, making his way to the kitchen to serve himself some tea and a well-deserved cheese-sicle.

Ah, young love.

A/N: Good lord Splinter you troll XD

I hope you enjoyed it, and more are on the way :)
