Hello readers! Time for another date! I was a little surprised at the mixed opinions on Pucca as a date, but it was interesting to see the support. Hopefully, this one will be a lot more well received, even though the original date for this chapter was canceled.
I will also apologize for how long this chapter took to write. I had a big bout of writers' block, on top of life and other projects pulling me away, though I know that's no excuse. Hopefully you guys will have as much fun reading this chapter as I did while writing it. In any case, time for some reviews.
Guest99: Games, shows, movies… Whatever I know that doesn't conflict with the setting too much and has an interesting matchup or two for Mikey. The stone lions are basically just animated statues so no.
Tornado man: While it is funny you mention Ben 10 here, I feel that Julie would likely be with a different character. I could be wrong though. As for the Kraang, they are incredibly well hidden aside from speaking weirdly.
Skully13: Interesting idea. Guess we'll see what happens in other stories that branch off this one.
duskrider: Duly noted. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
djinn: I apologize but I've never heard of that series.
That looks like everyone so let's get started. I don't own TMNT or any of the series that show up here. I do own original characters, items, concepts, and anything else that pops up unless stated otherwise.

Hamato Household, New York City
Leo could be seen in the lair, the area that acted as his makeshift smithy now looking more refined as he hammered down on a blade he was creating. He looked at a design he asked Donnie to draw up for him before continuing his work, making sure that it and its fellow blades were correctly prepared. He then quenched the weapons, the vapor flying off the oil flying over his welding mask. After a bit, more time of preparation, a set of kunai was finished. He looked over the edge, humming to himself as he sliced cleanly through a sheet of paper.
"Perfect," stated the lead turtle. He threw one of his kunai at an archery target, hitting it dead center. He walked over, pulling the blade out as he turned around. "Master." Splinter was standing in front of him, smirking as he looked over the blade.
"The craft is well made, Leonardo," stated the rat master. "The edge is sharp, and the grip of the tang is comfortable. Its length allows for hand-to-hand combat in emergencies. There is much improvement to be had but it serves its purpose, though you must always strive for said improvements." Leo nodded his head, a small smile on his face.
Up in the house, Donnie and April could be seen huddled up as they watched the TV. Donnie was in human form, making his blush even more visible as the redhead girl was leaning on him. As the movie reached a lull, April sighed with a hand on Donnie's leg.
"This is nice," sighed the girl. "Just the two of us, a movie, some overly buttered popcorn, and a nice cozy blanket. Other than having fun, this is how I like to unwind at home. It's not exactly hours in your lab but-" The brunette looked towards the girl, smirking nervously.
"I-It's great," reassured the genius. "Nothing beats spending time with my girlfriend." April smirked at him, sliding to sit in his lap as she looked him in the eye.
"Really? I seem to recall you enjoyed something a little more a while back~." Donnie gulped, his hands on the sides of the couch.
"A-April!? Someone could see us like this, and we'll be in trouble again." The redhead girl continued to look him in the eye, giggling as she grinned slightly.
"Really now? Part of being a ninja is completing a mission unnoticed. Maybe I have a fun one for you." She kissed him deeply, her hands on his shoulders as he melted a bit. His hands were on her hips for only a moment before the girl slid off of him, going back to the same position she was in earlier as the sound of a portal opening caused Donnie to open his eyes.
"Hey guys!" cheered Mikey. The genius looked back with his face as pale as a vampire, watching his blonde brother put the portal gun he made down while a bag of takeout was in his other hand. "I'm back, and I brought the best noodles I've ever had! It's not Pizza Gyoza but it's got its own signature taste that leaves competition in the dust!" Donnie quickly composed himself, nodding his head with a smirk as he chuckled nervously.
"T-That's great, Mikey," greeted the brunette. "Why don't you set it in the kitchen? The others are pretty busy right now and you still need to rate your date. Time zones can be a mess." Mikey snapped his fingers, a grin on his face.
"Nice call, D. Also, keep it PG or Master Splinter'll find out. Even if it doesn't come from me, he'll always find out." He zipped to the kitchen before making his way up to his room, no scorch marks left behind this time. Donnie frowned towards April, his expression being deadpan as she was holding in a laugh.
"You're evil." His girlfriend couldn't hold it anymore as she laughed, the genius leaning forward with a sigh. Upstairs, Mikey could be seen quickly typing his review into the computer. He rated it at a 9 for the fun he had, detracting a bit for the interruption of Ring Ring. He also made sure to dissuade what a lot of people had said, explaining that Pucca's starting to turn around and is a great catch.
"And done! Now to wait for the next date to-" He heard his computer ding, looking towards the inbox of the site. "Well, that was fast." He opened the message, quickly going to the page with his next date's info.
Username: GhostlyGlimmer13
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 105 lbs
Star Sign: Sagittarius
Non-Human: Cryptid
Species: Ghost/Human Hybrid
Homeworld: Earth
Current Residence: Amity Park, Illinois
Physical Description: I'm a petite girl with pale skin, bright blue eyes, and short, black hair with icy blue streaks. My style is sporty and edgy—I'm usually rocking fingerless gloves, hoodies, and sneakers.
Personality: I'm adventurous, curious, and maybe a little mischievous. I have a strong sense of justice and loyalty to my friends. I love having fun, testing boundaries, and finding ways to push myself, but I also appreciate the quieter moments to just chill and reflect.
Likes and Interests: Skateboarding, trying new foods, cultural appreciation, and stargazing are some of my favorite things to do. I'm really into music—alternative rock is my jam—and I love learning about science and technology. Basically, I'm all about discovering new things and seeing what I'm capable of.
Type of Person I'm Looking For: I'm looking for someone who's confident, open-minded, and adventurous. If you can keep up with my energy and make me laugh, we'll probably get along great. Bonus points if you're willing to step outside your comfort zone or face challenges head-on.
Mikey grinned at this, leaning forward. "Human and ghost? Now that sounds like a story to tell. I gotta tell the guys." Making sure no messages came in, he quickly ran back downstairs.
Donnie and April could be seen sharing one of the bowls he brought back, humming in delight at the flavor. He zipped past them, finding Raph in the kitchen with a bowl of his own. "Yo Raph! Are those Jajang Noodles good or what?" The hothead raised his chopsticks, smirking.
"If they have something with a little more spice then that'll be my jam," stated the big guy. "Still, I can't deny it's some great noodles." Mikey pumped his fists, earning an eye roll from his brother. "I take it from all the lipstick that the date went well." Mikey quickly wiped his face off with a paper towel, chuckling to himself.
"I gave Pucca a nine. Things were going six range as she had a friend talking for her but then Ring Ring showed up, basically confirming what I thought about Pucca having boy troubles and her sabotaging some dates." The hothead groaned at the news, rubbing the side of his head.
"That girl definitely deserved the hammer of justice. I take it that something good happened after for you to rate the date at a nine." Mikey quickly looked to his right, watching as Splinter walked in with Leo and Karai.
"I would also like to hear what happened," stated the rat master. "Do tell, Michelangelo." The trio collected their own bowls as they sat down, the blonde boy rubbing the back of his head.
"Well, I kinda snapped and told Ring Ring to get out. I calmed down enough to talk with her and her friend about the guy who hurt her, and I told them my story. From there her friend left and the two of us just kinda spent time around town, which everything was PG just to be clear. We ended things off by sitting on a cliff overlooking the entire place, along with a bit of smooching that didn't get much further than that. We both respected our boundaries and I walked her back to the restaurant where she lives."
Splinter nodded his head, finishing the noodle he slurped up as his son continued. "I feel like we really hit it off, but I encouraged her to give other guys a chance like I'm doing for the other dates. I didn't want her getting hurt by her choice not choosing her back and she understood that. I still had a lot of time left after that so I got everyone lunch." Karai raised her chopsticks, humming in delight as she pointed them at Leo.
"If Donnie makes more of those portal guns or something more compact, you're taking me to that restaurant some time," informed the snake girl. "This is good food." Leo nodded his head, mentally noting it down. There was a moment of silence as the group enjoyed their meal, Mikey standing nearby. He suddenly thought of something, looking towards Master Splinter.
"Hey, where's Terra? Did she go somewhere?" His adoptive father smiled towards him, shaking his head.
"She is meditating in the dojo," revealed the man. "She will be leaving with April for her aunt's apartment where she will stay as long as she wishes." Mikey sighed in relief at this, nodding as Raph looked towards him.
"So, you hear about lucky date number 17?" questioned the hothead. "That service is usually pretty fast on getting the next thing set up." The blonde pulled out his phone, making sure to have the right information.
"Yup. I'll be meeting a girl that loves to explore new things and sounds pretty cool. The cool thing about her is that she's the first monster hybrid I've got. Human and ghost, apparently." Donnie suddenly looked back with wide eyes, his expression being incredulous.
"How can someone be a human and a ghost?" questioned the turtle. "Wouldn't they just be a ghost if they're dead?" Splinter pointed up, humming to himself.
"Perhaps this young lady counts as a Yokai," stated the shinobi. "In any case, it is a rather interesting prospect." Raph shrugged, shaking his head.
"At this point, we've seen weirder," admitted the hothead. "Where are you meeting this girl?" Mikey hummed, pulling out his T-Phone just to be safe.
"It's gonna be in New York so I won't be far if there's any emergencies. It looks like we're going to this place called the… 'Nasty Diner'." Leo had been in the midst of taking a drink when he nearly choked, looking towards his brother.
"Nasty Diner?" questioned the leader. "What kind of restaurant calls itself nasty?" Mikey shrugged, shaking his head.
"I don't know dude. But hey, if it ends up being a bad place, I can always just leave. Besides, she seems like a pretty fun girl. Worst case scenario I call you guys and I portal out of there." Master Splinter hummed, stroking his beard.
"It would indeed be wise to stay cautious regardless, my son," offered the man. "If anything should appear wrong, do not be hesitant to leave or call for backup. The foolish go into everything expecting to win while the wise prepare for the worst, yet in all things reasoning and empathy are key. This is especially true when dealing with a potential Yokai." Mikey looked down at this, rubbing at where Slade had hit him.
"Trust me, I know all about going into something unprepared. I'm not doing that again." His father nodded at him, knowing that the boy was growing into a fine young shinobi. He just needed the experience to get there, as well as a bit more maturity. He would welcome the day his family grew to where they would not need him to guide them.
The Next Day
As the day drew closer to noon, Mikey dashed through the sewers. He had to reach his destination, and fast. He followed the directions on his T-Phone, moving through the pipes wherever he could. He then popped up from a manhole, turning human as he landed on his skateboard. He smiled, taking a deep breath as the board rolled.
"Super-speed is fun but skateboarding still rules," admitted the boy. He looked around, quickly spotting the large sign that had "NASTY" displayed in randomly tilted letters around a burger. "Bingo." He kick-flipped his board, turning that way as he rolled towards the establishment. He hopped on the website as he got off the board, messaging his date that he was there.
He looked around for a bit, humming to himself as he replaced the flowers on his back with his skateboard. He thought he heard someone "mrowl" like a cat, looking around in confusion. There was no one else around but he swore the sound was right by him. "Hello? Somebody there?"
His T-Phone suddenly went off again, pulling up the website on it as his date said she's got their table. "Oh! Cool. That's a change of pace." He quickly typed "heading in now" before making his way into the building.
He quickly shivered, getting a bit of a bad feeling. "Not another fast-food place. Please don't be another Deedee." He quickly looked around for the heart-shaped pin of the service, hoping that there was a typo on the website. He soon saw the object, shivering as he saw who it was attached to.
His date was a girl around his age with fair skin, bright blue eyes, and windswept black hair that gave her a bit of a wild look that was complemented by blue dyed streaks. She wore a fitted graphic tee with a subtle, edgy design, layered under a sleek black bomber jacket with silver zippers and a slightly cropped fit. Her jeans were slightly distressed, giving off a cool and carefree vibe, and were rolled up slightly at the cuffs to display her comfortable yet fashionable black sneakers with white soles. Her silver bracelet glinted subtly under the light from the lamp above the table, complementing the small pendant necklace she wore. "Holy shell."
Her eyes were suddenly on him, a confident yet nervous smile on her face. Mikey quickly fixed his hair a bit before walking over, nodding his head. "Wassup girl? GhostlyGlimmer13, right?" His date nodded her head, sitting up a bit more.
"Yeah," confirmed the girl. "I'm Ellie. Guess that means your MCMikey. I know a burger joint isn't exactly the most ideal place for a date but-" Mikey quickly propped his skateboard against his side of the booth, sitting at the round table with her.
"Relax and just call me Mikey. Not the worst way to start a blind date. I'm just glad I didn't have to open the door because it was 'stuck' twice. That was my first 1." Ellie snickered a bit, only to frown at the pained smile on her face.
"Wait, you're serious. If this is too much, we can go somewhere else." Mikey quickly held up his hands, shaking his head.
"Like I said, it's all good. The place doesn't look like it's geared towards little kids, and you definitely look like a girl who knows what she's doing." The girl played with her hair a bit, blushing as she looked down. "These are yours, by the way." The boy slid the flowers across the table, his date quickly taking it.
"Thanks. Anyway, I figured we'd get a quick bite here then head off to explore the city. It's been a while since I've been to New York and I'm sure there's a lot of neat places to see. I have the payment barcode on my phone if that helps." Mikey smirked, nodding his head.
"Wouldn't be the first time I showed a date around the city. I'd say we can go to the Cavern but one of my past dates chose it as her blind date spot so that could get awkward. Even if we don't stop at a specific spot, we can always just roam. Maybe stop by a music store or a skate park since your profile brought those up." Ellie grinned, leaning against the table a bit as she rested her head on the back of her hands.
"Glad to know someone reads those things. Sometimes I get guys who I have to explain the stuff from my profile to all over again, though I don't know if that's because they wanna hear me talk or generally don't look at it. Still, the good ones showed me around some places. There was this Casey guy here in New York that took me to the ice-skating ring so we could play a few rounds of hockey and I SO smoked him, but it didn't really work out." Mikey narrowed his eyes for a moment, only to widen them as he grinned.
"Dude, no way! You're the Ellie he talked about. I know Casey. You could say he's a family friend." The girl looked genuinely surprised, giving the hidden turtle a once over.
"Whoa. Now that's what my cousin would call freaky. Guess that also means you're the friend he was trying to sell me on." She then shook her head, letting her smile return. "Anyway, let's actually order food before someone decides to try kicking us out."
The duo stood up, quickly approaching the service counter. "Don't be too put off by the name 'Nasty Diner', by the way. From what my cousin says, this place was originally the Tasty Burger before some teens vandalized the sign to make it the Nasty Burger. Instead of getting mad, the owner just went with it and rebranded, creating one of the most popular teen hangout restaurants in Amity Park. Last year the place franchised out and rebranded itself the Nasty Diner to include other diner foods."
She then gestured to the menu, smirking. "Since you like Pizza, I figured pizza fries would be on your list of things to try." Mikey's eyes widened, the boy looking over the list of items above.
"No. freaking. WAY! We gotta try some of that!" He heard Ellie laugh at his excitement, blushing a bit at the sound.
It didn't take the duo long to be seated with their meals, Mikey picking up one of the cheesy fries as he dipped it in marinara. He popped the whole thing in his mouth, humming in delight as he took his time with the flavors. He closed his eyes for a moment as he swallowed, smirking as Ellie finished a bite of her burger. "Could use some mozzarella instead of American cheese but it's awesome. The little pepperonis are pretty cool too."
He took a few more bites, gently swaying his feet a bit. "Anyway, I was hoping we could talk about our profiles as we go. I like to get to know a girl for more than just what her profile says, making it more personal. That alright with you?" The cool girl shrugged, leaning back against her seat.
"Sounds fine to me. I mean, you put yourself down as a little chubby and I'm not really seeing it." The blonde chuckled in response, rubbing the back of his head.
"Yeah. You could say I had a lot of time to work out between dates and I don't really know if I can change my profile or not." Ellie giggled, shaking her head.
"Hey, you don't hear me complaining. As long as you're not some jerk jock or preppy pig you can be as muscly as you want around me." Mikey nodded his head, a smirk on his face.
"Thanks. Let's finish this stuff off and blow this joint." The duo continued their meal a little faster, almost making it into a competition. After finishing up, the two of them could be seen walking down the sidewalk. Mikey hummed, thinking on a topic to talk about. "So… I'm trying not to pick any low bearing fruit."
He watched the girl smile at him, the boy doing his best to keep from giving the wrong impression. "I'm kinda interested in the stargazing stuff you mentioned. The lights here in New York can get pretty bright so we don't usually see a lot of stars except for the really bright ones. You have any favorite planets or constellations?" The girl giggled, nodding her head.
"I know it might be a little cliche, but I like Ursa Minor a lot. I'm still a bit miffed about Pluto not being considered a planet since I like rooting for the little guy." She then leaned forward a bit, still walking as she showed off flexibility and balance. "I think I know what question's really on your mind." The turtle chuckled nervously, nodding his head.
"Yeah. Sorry. It just sounds so cool. Like, how can someone be a human and a ghost without being full ghost?" His date giggled, straightening herself.
"Well at least I can thank you for not being pushy about it and asking in the restaurant. Tell ya what though, you take me somewhere nice and private, and I'll show you how it works. Just please don't make it somewhere gross." The turtle hummed, trying to think about what he could do. He suddenly got an idea, rolling his shoulders.
"Actually, I think I know the perfect place in Chinatown. Still, it won't really be open for a good while so let's check out your skateboarding skills." He grabbed the girl by the hand, pulling her along as they ran. The skatepark wasn't far from where they were, Ellie needing to rent a board as she didn't have one of her own. Mikey performed a grind on a rail before trying to perform a kick-flip on a ramp. Ellie suddenly overshot him as she performed a 360 spin, making him wipe out as he rolled across the ground.
"You alright there, Mikey?" Ellie quickly rolled over, a concerned look on her face. The boy raised his fists in the air, grinning.
"That was so cool!" He shot up, brushing himself off. "You so gotta show me how to do that!" He watched the girl smile, rubbing his arm a bit as he had a goofy grin. They skated for a good while before moving on, Mikey's outfit a little roughed up from the landing. They then found a music store, making the boy grin as he pulled his date inside.
He put one of the records on, beginning to rock out as he played an air guitar. He realized eyes were on him, making him fearful of embarrassing his date. To his surprise, however, the girl started rocking out on her own.
"Don't just stop! This is my jam!" The hidden turtle grinned, playing the air guitar again as onlookers were smiling at them. After the duo had enough of that, with Ellie buying an old tape of music, the duo finally found their way to Chinatown. The night was starting to set in, the city lights making it hard to see any stars.
"We're almost there. Just follow my lead when we get there." He found the unicorn graffiti upon arrival, gesturing for a confused Ellie to give him her hand. As soon as she did, he pulled her through the wall much to her shock. As soon as they were on the other side, the loud music of the band could be heard, and people could be seen partying.
Ellie took in the sight, Mikey gesturing to the place. "Welcome to the Verdant Unicorn." Ellie looked around the club, her eyes widening.
"Whoa. This place is wild." The turtle snickered, shaking his head.
"Yeah, but it's a lot of fun. It acts like a portal between Earth and a lot of cool magical places, at least from what a friend told me." Mikey turned towards her, nodding his head. "I figured this would be one of the best places to be showing off your ghost stuff, given that people here have a lot of secrets themselves." He watched his date smirk, the girl stretching a bit.
"I'm guessing you're on that list, huh?" The hidden turtle chuckled nervously, keeping his eyes on the girl. "I'm Going Ghost!" His eyes widened as he watched a wide ring of light form around her stomach region, splitting into two different rings that traveled up and down her body. He watched the transformation in super-speed, watching her body and attire shift in a glowing green ectoplasm.
Her windswept black hair turned snow-white, while the icy blue streaks shifted to a vibrant glowing green to match her now bright green eyes. Her attire morphed into a black, form-fitting jumpsuit with a white armored vest detailed in purple, along with matching gloves and boots. A pair of sleek white pants formed around her legs, reminiscent of her original look but with baggier legs. Lastly, a utility belt materialized, equipped with unknown gadgets, completing her battle-ready transformation. Mikey watched her float in the air, the ethereal glow she produced making him see stars.
The girl landed on the ground, puffing out her vest a bit. "You could say that I'm a human that can turn into a ghost or a ghost that can turn into a human. My cousin, Danny, likes to say that we dance around the line between life and death as the middle-ground. It's not like a zombie or a revenant, by the way." The hidden turtle grinned, nodding his head.
"You're like a super hot superhero! Your whole body just turned green as the ring things molded it into this new look!" The girl looked confused and concerned, Mikey chuckling as he rubbed the back of his head. "I have super-speed so I can see things that move really fast at a slow pace." His date pouted, covering herself a bit.
"Does that mean you saw me naked like a peeping tom?" Mikey suddenly panicked as he tried to find words to say, only to watch Ellie erupt into laughter. "I'm messing with you, Mikey. Still, super speed is really cool." The hidden turtle took a breath of relief, nodding his head with a smile.
"Yeah. It's a little new so I'm figuring out a lot about what it can do." He then took a step back, nodding his head. "Well, if we're sharing secrets I might as well take a turn… I gotta come up with a catchphrase."
Filing that away for later, Mikey shifted into his true self as his attire adjusted to make room for it. He watched the surprised look form on her face, clearing his throat a bit. "You could say I'm a mutant turtle who can turn into a human. I haven't really put it on my dating profile because my family has some enemies that would try something if they learned my bros and I can do this." Ellie slowly smiled, nodding her head in response.
"Hey, no judgement here. There are people that would see me put in a tube or ripped apart just for being a ghost. If the service guarantee wasn't there, I'd be doing the same." The turtle nodded his head, finding himself being subjected to the hand pulling this time. "Well, no use standing around when you bring me to the first club I've ever been to."
The boy grinned, nodding his head as they began dancing to the beat of the band. He zoomed around the area like when Haley had brought him there, making sure to keep his metabolism up and keep up with the floating ghost girl he was dating. He couldn't help but breakdance at one point, Ellie laughing as she clapped hard and fast. "Go Mikey! Show them how it's done!"
The turtle nearly made a tornado as he spun on the back of his shell, kicking himself to his feet as he cheered. He saw Ellie dancing around in the air, his throat growling as the movements were hypnotic. He quickly noticed the time, getting her attention as he waved his arms.
"We're getting near leaving time! Let's go somewhere quieter to wind down!" He watched the ghost girl nod, the two of them stepping out the way they came in from. They took a moment to breathe, the excitement of the place still strong with them. Ellie looked up, hooting a bit in joy.
"Now this has been a fun night. I just wish I could end it with a bit of stargazing. You weren't kidding about these lights taking away from the stars in the sky." Mikey looked towards the girl, noticing a slight longing in her eyes. He suddenly got an idea, pulling out his T-Phone.
"Well, I think I know a good place for that too. You'll have to be pretty fast to get there quickly though." He watched the ghostly girl look at him, a taunting smirk on her face.
"Is that a challenge? Are you saying I'm slow?" The turtle shook his head, his smile turning into a confident smirk.
"I mean, I haven't seen how fast you can fly and it's pretty far. I have the location on my T-Phone if you want to see who's faster." The girl matched his energy, pulling out a phone of her own.
"I know this is probably your way of getting my number but now you've done it. I'm SO gonna smoke you." After the exchange of numbers and location, the duo stretched a bit. Mikey's date outfit swapped with his mission suit, the turtle adjusting his hood to make sure it was covering enough. He then took a ready position, Ellie floating in the air a bit.
(Play City Escape, Sonic the Hedgehog)
"Alright. On your mark. Get set… 3-2-1-GO!" The turtle suddenly took off in a burst, his date playfully glaring at him.
"HEY!" She took off at high speed herself, flying high above him. "THAT'S CHEATING!" Mikey laughed at this, quickly blitzing around buildings to not lose traction. He looked up, watching as the ghost girl was starting to gain ground as she could just phase through the places he went around.
The boy picked up his speed as he slid under a semi truck, spinning in his shell before he popped out and took off again. He had to keep his eye on everything, including his competition who didn't even look winded. They were quickly approaching the city limits, running past it as they accidentally made a hand-made miniature windmill spin like a checkpoint. Ellie lowered to fly at Mikey's side, the boy watching her grin confidently.
She then began flying on her back, looking confident. "What's the matter, Turtle Boy? You talked a big game about being fast. Don't wanna fall into that stereotyping, take it from me." The turtle grinned, the lightning he gave off growing in intensity.
"Oh, you did not just go there. I was taking this as a brisk run but if you want me to take it up a gear-" He blitzed forward quickly, earning a shocked look from his date. They soon reached a forest of trees, Mikey weaving through them like he was running at normal speeds. He looked back to see Ellie flying as fast as she could overhead, kicking up his speed again as he began to see a familiar path.
(Track ends)
The boy skidded to a stop, looking at an old farmhouse with a small chicken coop and tool shed not far from it. "And the Turtle Titan wins!" He turned around, watching as Ellie just arrived. "Good race, Ellie-bear." The girl panted as she put her hands on her knees, looking at him with widened eyes.
"Dude, how are you so fast? You're like that Sonic guy from Youtube." Mikey rubbed his nose, confident in himself.
"It's just some magic from an invisible dragon. Same date with the fast-food restaurant, actually." he then held his hand out to the girl, Ellie letting him take hers again. "Come on." He ran at high speed with the girl, bringing her to the roof of the building.
He then helped her lay down, watching as she reverted to her human form as he did the same. He then plopped down next to her, still looking her in the eye. "This is our friend April's family's country house. We had to live here for a while when the Kraang took over New York while a lot of the supers were either out of the area or hit by the mutagen that made me and my bros who we are. I know it's not the most romantic spot but it's away from all the city lights so…"
He then gestured to the sky, laying down beside his date as Ellie looked at the sky in awe. He couldn't help but be enamored himself, viewing the bright colors of stars and nebulae. He looked towards Ellie, watching as the girl's eyes sparkled. "So… which one's Ursa Minor." He watched her suddenly point at the sky, as if she'd seen it all before.
"Right there. You can make out a Little Dipper which is its other name. It's actually connected to the Big Dipper: Ursa Major." Mikey followed her directions, quickly drawing out the image in the stars. "And there's Sagittarius, and Leo, and Pisces-"
Mikey turned his attention to Ellie, watching as she listed off every constellation and heavenly body she knew. He subconsciously took hold of her free hand, making her look at him as he saw the stars in her eyes again. He watched her smile, a slight blush on her face. "Thanks… for all this. The skateboarding, the music, the club dancing, the race, and now this."
She turned to lay on her side, smirking at him. "You really are trying to leave a lasting impression on a girl like me." Mikey nodded his head, looking up at the sky again.
"I mean, why wouldn't I? I'm looking for that girl I can spend the rest of my life with and you're an amazing person. Not to mention I kinda had to try for a long time to stick out alongside the rest of my brothers. I've kinda been the little kid and the one who messes up a lot and I'm trying to be better about that." He heard Ellie sigh, looking towards her as she smiled sadly.
"Trust me, I know what it feels like to be in someone's shadow. Danny… he's a halfa too and he's so much better at it than I am. He's actually a hero back in Amity Park, while a lot of people see me as a sidekick like his friends. It's hard to be in someone's shadow when you're supposed to be a team… a family." Mikey smirks at this, nodding his head.
"Sounds like we're not that different, only you're a hot ghost girl and I'm a turtle guy." The ghost girl suddenly rolled on top of him, smiling as the night sky above made her glow a bit.
"Well, between you and me, you're a pretty good looking turtle guy." She brushed some hair out of his face, the two of them slowly kissing as it turned into a makeout session. Mikey found his hands going to her waist, feeling her other hand go up his shirt. The duo moaned into the connection; Mikey unable to help the primal growl that left his throat. Suddenly, Ellie's phone went off.
The duo separated, allowing the girl to grab it and see the message. "It's Danny. Curfew's almost up." She then smirked, dropping her phone back into her purse. "Not like I haven't been late before."
Mikey gulped, watching as the girl removed her jacket. "I'm taking in all the stars tonight, so pucker up~." The make-out session resumed, the stars shining a bit brighter.

And that's all for this one! For those who didn't catch on, this girl is Danielle Fenton (otherwise known as Dani Phantom) from Danny Phantom, though I'm one of those people that likes to call her Ellie. I figured she would be a fun date for Mikey to have and wanted to play around with how she'd dress for a casual blind date. I know she's still human-like, but I had a lot of fun writing the date. I do hope to get more non-human dates on the list but I'm open to hearing any date ideas, good date or bad date, so please drop your ideas down below.
In any case, what did you guys think? Did you like the date? How do you think it'll be rated and who's the next lucky lady? Let me know what you think down below. This is Inkaliber, signing off.
