~Leo's Pov~

I am so happy that I was correct on Grace's personality-She was unconditionally kind and caring. She had done what any person would have failed at. The things that I had looked in her for was kindness, fierce, and she had to get along with Master Splinter. She had definitely done that I don't think that I have ever seen her slightly unkind at all. I knew that she was fierce. Raph kept complaining to Spike his pet turtle about how Grace had kept on beating him when they sparred. I knew that he was slightly holding back the first few times that I had heard him but just two days ago he was once again complaining that Grace had defeated him and he wasn't holding back at all. None whatsoever. She still beat him especially when he was in one of his infamous moods when he would just burn anything in his path. That is what surprised me she had beaten him just like the Kraang. The first time that we were fighting the Kraang she was kicking the kraangs but, that was before we learned to fight together as a team.

Looks don't matter much to me but I could just stare at Grace for a billion years and never get bored of her flawless features. Oh no she saw me looking at her what to do what to do what to do! Ok act natural. Act cool. Breath normally. Don't act weird. BREATHE! In out in out. Phew she smiled slightly. Wait maybe she already knows that I can't stop thinking about her. Wait what if she noticed that I was trying to do breathing exercises? No looking at me caused her to have that amazing smile. Tentatively I smiled back at her. Oh yes time for a cooking class with her! Right now we are on decorating a cake well. That is only one reason why I wanted a baking class lessons. It gave me extra time with me mostly uninterrupted. I can also see her blue eyes sparkle and shine with happiness when she is in any kitchen cooking and baking. In my little fantasy I think that at least some of it is because of me. why is she walking so slow? I love that little delicate smile that she alway has on her face. I could tell that her hair was being pulled up with a pencil I could see the eraser poking over the top of her shiny, smooth, silky black hair. She opened her gorgeous red lips that looked so soft. I tried not to watch as they moved. I could barely comprehend that she was asking if I was up for a cooking class.

"O-Oh y-yes of course" I replied hoping that it sounded remotely normal. I once again snapped out of my daydream of me hearing her angelic voice and seering her walk delicately towards the kitchen. I followed her into the kitchen where I heard her say "Hey Leo" Her voice never stops sending shivers down my spine. It felt so good." Yes" I replied." What do you think of instead of making cupcakes we make chocolate lava mini cakes?"

" Ok I honestly have no clue what a lava cake is." I truthfully said. Hoping against hope that she doesn't think that I am too stupid for her intelligence to be around.

Grace giggled politely and said in an understanding tone of voice" Under the dessert tab page number 342 on the left side of the page. By the recipe you will find a picture of a lava cake" "What cookbook? I don't have one." I asked very confused. I looked over at Grace to see her hands clasped behind her back. She was biting the edge of her tantalizingly smooth looking lips her head was slightly turned away from me but I could still see a faint blush make its way on her face. In my opinion it made her even prettier than ever if that was even possible. She looked towards me and slightly embarrassed stated" You are a good cook. All you have to do is conquer the feud that you and the toaster have than you could make anything. So I decided to give you the first cookbook that I have. Most of the recipes are rather easy but there are a few of them that are a little bit tricky. One of them is the chocolate mini lava cakes." Grace stopped to pull out a blue book. 'That must be the cookbook that she was talking all about. How sweet and thoughtful of her' She held it out to me. Still slightly looking at the ground. " Thank you I was wondering how I was going to remember how to make all these recipes. Lets make these MIni Lava cakes. What ever they are." I replied happily

~ Timeskip to when the cakes are in the oven.~

"Hey Grace how are we going to pass this wait" I asked hoping to keep her with me...in the same room as me I mean. Not with my brothers. She replied happily ' Oh I thought of that earlier. I know that it is so boring to watch something bake in the oven. So I have made Fresh Fruit popsicles before and I have put them in the freezer. Would you like to have one or two Leo?" After the now normal small pleasant tingle down my back when her soft voice spoke my name. " I would love to try one. Should I ask to see if my bro's would like to try one? Knowing you, you probably have made at least 15" I knew that I would have to try to keep it a one on one time. I had to ask that or else it would seem very rude to my brothers. " Not unless you want to have them in here talking very loud. Besides they will find out sooner or later. Would you like them to find out sooner or later?" She replied with a smile of hope. Hope to spend more time with me alone. My mind told me. I was never going to burst this kind of happiness. "True. I'd love a popsicle." We were eating her popsicles in a companionable silence. I couldn't stop myself from glancing over at Grace every few seconds. She was absorbed in criticizing the flavor, taste, and texture of the popsicles. It gave me the perfect opportunity to study her perfect features. I couldn't blatantly stare at her. I once read that a girl can feel it when someone or something is staring at her. "Shoot! mine is starting to melt!" I looked over at her fully (I was looking over at her from the side of my eye) Sure enough there was her melting popsicle dripping down her slender fingers and occasionally down her arm. When it dribbled down her arm she bent her head forward and licked it off, following the path that it had left. I was starting to hyperventilate from the extreme hotness of her doing that. I realised that I was now staring I went over towards the counter that had the paper towels . That amount of hotness will forever be with me. I handed her some paper towels. Once we were eating our popsicles, she captured my gaze in her endless dark blue eyes and asked me her opinion on her making plasma weapons that would only hurt whoever we were fighting. Her brilliance is even higher than Donnies and that was saying something. It is official she is absolutely perfect. Unfortunately for me this cooking lesson done all to soon for my liking. It was time for her to walk home. She had insisted that she doesn't need me to walk her. I knew that I still had to do practice with Raph but that could wait. I will just follow her at a safe distance.

~Time skip to outside her apartment.~

Grace had arrived safely at her apartment once again. I was on the other apartment building watching Grace in her room. Over in the other building I could see Donnie checking on April.( ooh they are stalkers!!!XD) I was looking through Grace's window.. She should probably put down her blinds. What am I seeing here. Grace Shes-shes a turtle!! But how!!! She was now sitting on the edge of her fire escape in the shadows I could still see her stillhouse. I hope that she doesn't see me over here. Even as a turtle she is a goddess. Why wouldn't she tell us about this. We are also turtles. Okay let's try to think like her. It has helped me not to lash out at my brothers before. Ok... I can change into a turtle some how. Probably causing grief at the same time. I would want to tell someone but absolutely no one would believe me and if I showed them I was a mutated turtle than I would find myself in a science lab being experimented on faster than I could say" I am most sorry for the trouble." If I did see other mutated turtles that have been in the sewer for there whole lives than I would want to tell them all about being like them but they too wouldn't believe me because they have been taught all their lives that they were alone and that if they were seen than they would be rejected by all of society. I would eventually tell them once they had warmed up to me more than I would show them later. I stopped my thinking there.I had achieved all of my answers that I wanted. I needed to think like Grace any longer. That must have been very depressing for her to not be able to show her turtle side to her friends at all. I must say that Grace is a goddess in both her turtle and human form. I hope to be able to see her in both forms more often. If I am completely honest with myself I think that she is the hottest turtle that I have ever seen This would be my official secret that I will keep. But now I have to study the beauty in front of me.
