Leo dropped down into the living room in front of Don and Mikey.

"Something weird is going on." he said. Mikey was trying to look past him to the tv.

"What do you mean?" he asked, hoping he'd move. Leo turned and turned the tv off. Mikey rolled his eyes, sitting back waiting for Leo to continue.

"Go on Leo." Donnie said.

"I was walking out of my room when I saw... Raph and ryan." he said.

Donnie and Mikey looked at each other with an arched brow.

"So?" Mikey asked.

"I'm not sure yet, but I think... they might..." Leo trailed off.

"What, that they're falling in love or something!" Donnie said laughing.

"Please Bro, that's insane! Raph, in love!" Mikey started laughing.

"It'll never happen!" Donnie added as him and Mikey grabbed each other laughing on the couch.

"Yeah yeah, laugh it up!" Leo said, walking out.


"April, I kinda need to talk to you..." Ryan said when she got home.

"About?" April asked. Casey walked by and stopped, looking interested in the conversation.

"Alone." she said, glancing at Casey.

"What?" Casey asked.

"Casey, girl talk. Go away." April said, taking Ryan to the kitchen.

"But..." but they were already gone. "Mmm, girl talk. She told me to go away, not to stay out of ear shot..." he said, trailing off.

"So. what's wrong?" April asked, sitting down.

"What did you feel... like when you first met Casey."

"irritated." April laughed.

"Then how are you together with him? What brought you together."

"Well, the turtles I guess." April said. "why honey?" she asked.

"Well, I think I'm in love... but I can't tell." she said.

"In Love! With who?" April asked, looking excited.

"You're gonna laugh..." Ryan said, smiling sheepishly.

"Try me." she said.

"Okay... Raph." she said. April's eyes widened.

"What!" came a voice from the living room.

"Casey, what did we say about you listening?" April said as Casey walked around the corner.

"Sorry babe. I'm just curious." he said, sitting down at the table.

"So you like Raph, huh?" Casey asked, smiling at her.

"Maybe..." Ryan said, messin with him.

"I don't get the problem." Casey said.

"The problem is I don't know if I'm in love. I only think i am." she said.

"Awe hon, there's no thinking in love. If you're in love, you're gonna know it." Casey said. April got a look like she was gonna let Case handle this.

"But... how do I know? How do I know he loves me?" she asked.

"There's no knowing." he said. she looked down. He lifted her chin to look at him.

"All you can do is... admit you love him." April said.

"What?" Casey asked. "That's so girly... Oh..." he said that last part, slapping his head.

"Look hon, I figured out Casey liked me, told him to kiss me, and that was the end of it." April said smiling.

"Hey, I kissed you willingly! You didn't tell me to do nothin!" Casey defended.

"Oh yeah, sure." April said, rolling her eyes.

"If you think he loves you back, tell him you love him." April said, walking to the door with her.


Raph walked out of the kitchen humming a song. He walked to the couch to see all of his brothers staring at him.

"What?" he asked.

"Raph... humming?" Mikey said.

"I told ya something's up!" Leo said.

"What's eaten you guys!" Raph said, sittin down.

"What's goin on between you and Ryan?" Leo accused instantly.

"Nothin... yet." raph said.

"What do you mean yet?" Leo asked.

"well, I was thinkin..." Raph said.

"And?" Leo asked.

"You weren't gonna like ask her out, were ya?" asked Mikey.

"Well, I..."

"Oh my god." Mikey said, looking at raph. "You're in love with Ryan! Leo was right!" he said jumping up.

"So. What if I am.'

"Raph, this is wrong!" Leo said.

"What are ya talkin about!" Raph said.

"Raph she's human and your a turtle. Mammal and Reptile. It just... doesn't work." Leo said.

"So?" Raph said. Leo sighed.

"I just hope you know what you're doing." he said.


two hours later

"April! Casey!" Mikey greeted as they walked into the lair.

"Hey Mikey, where's Raph?" April asked, looking around.

"In his room." he answered before turning back to the tv.

"Ryan, I think this is the perfect opportunity. Go to him." April said.

"Okay." she said, coming out of hiding. She ran and jumped up the sides of the bulding to the second floor and walked into Raph's room.

"Raph?" she asked.

"Ryan? What are you doin here?' he asked, getting up from his bed.

"I. I needed to tell you something." she said.

"Me too." he said.

"Well, you go first." she said, sitting on his bed beside him.

"NO, you go ahead." he said. she looked scared.

"I insist." she said.

"Okay... I was thinking that maybe, possibly, you might wanna be my girlfriend?" he said, rubbing the back of his neck and obviously fearing the worse.

"well, I was thinking that maybe, possibly, I might say... yes." she said, looking at him.

"Ya mean it!" he said excitedly.

"Of course." she said.

"Now what was it you were gonna say?" he asked.

"I was going to tell you that I think I'm in love with you." she said, leaning in and hugging him.

"I think I am with you too." he said, hugging her back. He then tilted her head up from the hug and leaned forward, kissing her.

"Ahem." they pulled out of the kiss at the sound at the door. There stood April and Donnie.

"It's a kodak moment." Donnie muttered.

"Not again." Raph said, rolling his eyes as him and Ryan got up, holding hands and going out to join the rest.

"Ladies and Gentleturtles, may I introduce the new happy couple!" Mikey introduced to the crowd.

"Ay, shut up Mikey!" Raph said, though it was playfully.

Ryan just snuggled in closer to him and for the first time in a long time, Raph felt something other than anger. He felt love bursting throughout his body. And that was enough for him to hold her tighter, promising himself that he would never let her go.

Alright guys, the end. I was gonna actually do this chapter with just Mikey narrating but that wouldn't have been fair considering he was gonna start out with "well Ryan and Raph got married" now what fun would that be? Anyways, I already have a sequel in mind and... I'm so sorry about this last chapter... It was sorta a sum up and I was having writer's block with it and I promised y'all I'd have it up by Monday so... it's now 9:45 p.m. on Sunday and I think this'll be up any second :)
