Raphael has been sneaking off to watch Amy practice her violin for the past few days when his brothers aren't looking. He listens to her play through the open window of a skylight. The melody lifted the weight of him like everything that bugs him is no big deal. For some reason, she was better than before. What was different about this melody she's playing? "You are getting better Amy. Keep up the good work." "Thank you and I will." Amy said as she smiled coyly. As soon the teacher was gone, Raphael opened the window wider and jumped into the music room. The loud thud made Amy let a tiny shriek but she sighed with relief when she saw Raph. "Oh, Raphael, it was you." "You sounded great." "Thanks. Wait, you were listening the whole time?" Raph blushes when she asked him. "Um...maybe." Amy smiled at him. "Thank you." He blushed more. She walks over to him and leaned in. "There is more to you than brute strength." Raph laughed nervously. Amy was about to lean in closer for a kiss when they heard footsteps. "Uh oh my violin teacher is coming, you better..." But she stopped when she noticed Raphael already left. The teacher walked in. "Sorry, forgot my keys. Everything alright?" "Um...yeah."

Raphael returned to the lair and attempts to sneak back to his room when Leo caught him. "Where have you been Raph?" Leo asked his...brother as he walks through the turn tables. "Nothing, just went out for a jog." Raph said trying to hide his expression. "While you were out on your jog, a bunch of teenagers have been reported missing for the past week." Leo stated. "Actually, to be specific, teenagers with talent have been missing; a gymnast, a saxophone player, an artist, a ballerina, and an apprentice of a robotic engineering company." "Sounds random to me." Raph commented trying to add a bit of humor. "It's not random Raph, I believe there is a connection and so do the police. But I do know who is behind these kidnappings." Donnie added. "The Foot?! What would the Foot want with teenagers?!" Raph asked. "I don't know but until we stop them you have to stop taking off for no reason Raph." "I have a reason Leo! Get off my shell!" Raph yelled with a fierce growl and stomped off to his room. "Awkward." "Mikey will you stop saying that?!" Donatello bellowed.

When Raphael walked into his room and closed the door, he pulled out his MP3 player, puts his head phones on, and lies down on the bed listening to classical violin. The calm red masked turtle turned his head to his loyal companion, Spike. "Hey Spike, you wanna listen?" But Spike was unresponsive. Raph shrugged and fell asleep to the sweet sounds of the six string.

He found himself sitting in the middle of an auditorium. Amy appeared on stage playing her violin. Raph can not only hear and feel the music, he can also see it. There was a thought bubble over Amy. Within the thought bubble was Raphael dressed up like of those bare chested guys on the cover of those romance novels. He blushed a little when he literally saw himself kissing Amy in the thought bubble. Was she thinking about Raphael during her violin practice? Does she have a thing for him? He hears soft laughter echoing within the auditorium.

Raph woke up to see it was Mikey who was laughing. "What is so funny that it couldn't wait?" He asked in an irritated tone. "Since when do you listen to classical violin?" Raphael's eyes widened and jumped out of bed with anger, "Give it back Mikey!" Mikey screamed and ran out of Raph's room. He chased Mikey all over the lair until Leo got in his way. "Raph! What is this about now?" "I'll tell you Leo. Raph here loves classical music." Mikey said in a childish, teasing tone. "I do not!" The angry turtle yelled. "First of all Mikey, stop teasing Raph and is new interest in classical music. Second, Raph, there is nothing to be ashamed of listening to that kind of music." "It's...not just the music that I like." "Then what?" Raphael tried to hide his blushed expression. His t-phone started to ring. "H-hello?" "Agh! Let go of me!" "Amy?" Raph could hear the struggle in the background before he got cut off. "Amy just got kidnapped!" Raph screamed at the top of his lungs. "Wait, how would you know?" "Because it sounded like she was shoved in a vehicle! We've got to save her! Come on guys let's move!" Raph commanded and took off, Donnie and Mikey followed. "Hey that's my thing." Leo whined and was the last one to leave.

Donatello hooked Raph's t-phone to the Shell-raiser's computer to triangulate the coordinates to where the call came from. They arrived in front of the building where Amy had her violin practice earlier and searched for any clues. "Agh! We've been combing the place and haven't found anything!" The red masked turtle yelled. "Calm down Raph, it's only been five minutes. I promise we will save your girlfriend." "She's not my girlfriend!" Donatello spotted a security camera on the street light. "Gents, I think I may have found an important clue." They slipped inside the Shell-raiser and Don hacked into the security cameras until he found footage of Amy and her kidnappers. She was walking out of the building with her violin teacher when a black van showed up and the foot ninja jumped about and grabbed Amy. The teacher didn't do anything but watch as the foot ninja shoved her in the van. He got in the front with them and drove off. "I don't believe it! That creep was in on it! I should've never left her alone." "Don't beat yourself up Raph." "Quiet down guys! I'm trying to listen." Don said. "To what?" "To the foot ninja who was talking on his cell Mikey. Weren't you paying attention?" "Sorry, I covered my eyes during the kidnapping scene." Everyone except Mikey groaned. Donatello listened carefully and said, "They are taking her to the pier." "Alright, everyone to your stations!" Raphael groaned when Leo said that.

Thirty minutes later, the turtles arrived at the pier. They spotted the black van and hid the Shell-raiser behind one of the larger crates. They hopped out and snuck around, close enough to observe them. Donatello scoped the scene with his telescope. "See them yet Donnie?" "Nothing yet Leo." "There! I see them!" Raphael yanked Donatello's telescope from his hands and looked through it. Amy was being pushed into a crate with the other teenagers. "Wait a minute, those are the same teenagers that went missing." Leonardo said. "No they're not, they've been kidnapped along with Amy. Oh wait you already knew that." Mikey replied. "If I had to guess, they are probably being shipped off for slave labor or worse." Donatello said. "Alright, we'll split into teams of two; Raph and I will distract the foot while you and Mikey go and release the captive teens. Any questions?" "Just one; where's Raph?" Mikey asked. Leo quickly spotted Raph sneaking toward the crate. The leader groaned and signaled his brothers to follow him.

While the foot were busy guarding the prisoners, Raphael cautiously opened the crate. Amy gasped quietly with joy when she saw him. One of the foot ninjas spotted him and were about to attack him. But then, an egg appeared out of nowhere and as it hit the ground a dark cloud blinded them. Rap spotted a light above him and took it out with his sai. As soon the smoke cleared, Leo, Don, and Mikey joined Raph. The rescue mission became a big ninja brawl.

More foot ninja showed up when they heard a commotion. Leo and Mikey took out a group on the right, Donnie and Raph took out another group on the left. While his brothers were fighting Raphael unlocked the crate and grabbed Amy's hand. "Raphael?" "I'm getting you outta here!" He pulled her out and was about to take her to the shell-raiser when three foot ninja ambushed them. One was keeping Raph busy while the other two grabbed Amy from behind. She yelped in pain when one of them pulled her hair, causing her pink hairband to fall off her head. Raph heard her and became really furious. He smacked the foot ninja he was fighting and bopped the two hurting Amy.

Suddenly, everyone heard sirens. "Foot! Vanish!" One of the foot ninja called out and dashed into the shadows. The turtles heard the sirens as well, they quickly grabbed Amy and took off in the Shell-raiser before the police showed up. They kept driving until they were in a safe location but still close enough to check to make sure the fire was put out and the rest of the kidnapped students are in good hands. "We did it! High three!" Mikey called out. Only Leo and Don joined in. "Raph? Raph?" Leo said while looking around for any sign of his hot headed brother. "Now where did he go?" Don asked. "Where's Amy?" Mikey added. Meanwhile, Raphael took Amy to the High Line. They sat on the bench; Raph checked to make sure she was alright. Amy's hair was messed up from trying to resist the foot. "Are you okay?" He asked with sincere kindness. "Yeah, I am now. Thanks Raph." He blushed, because this was the first time someone thanked him to his face. Amy blushed as well. They leaned in close to each other and kissed as the sounds of the sirens faded into the night.

The next day, it was the day of Amy's recital at the Opera House. The turtles were watching the recital on a local tv program. Raph felt bed because as much as he wants to see the performance in person, he can't risk blowing his cover. Amy stood on stage wearing a red dress with matching heels and a red ribbon. "Hey, there's Amy! But why is she wearing...red?" Mikey asked with curiosity. "I would like to dedicate this melody to someone special." Raph blushed. She plays a tune from Romeo and Juliet. He smiled as his heart swelled with joy. Mikey noticed his reaction and put two & two together. "Ha! Raph got a crush! Raph's got a crush!" The teasing orange masked turtle said. Raph gritted his teeth in anger and glared at Mikey. "Alright! That's it!" The miffed red turtle chases Mikey and then puts him in a headlock. "Wah! I thought music was supposed to a sooth a savage beast!" "That only works in cartoons Mikey." Then Raph licked his finger and was about to give his little brother a wet willy. "Ahhhh!"
