~~~~~

The moon was full and shined down on the city of New York with its mysterious glow. The city was growing quiet as the long night went on. Up top one of the towering buildings was Raphael, who was out on a solo patrol. He was scouting the area, keeping an eye out for any criminals who dare try to disrupt his city.

CRASH!

Speak of the devil.

Raphael's eyes look down at the streets below him. He notices in a nearby alleyway that a few crooks have broken into a bank and have stolen some cash. He watches from the high building rooftop as they quickly pack their loot into their van.

"A bank robbery?" Raph rolls his eyes, 'How original..." he says to himself sarcastically before leaping into action. Raph jumps and lands perfectly in front of the criminals, staring them down as he sees a strike of fear in their eyes.

"Oh no!" One of the crooks cries out, "It's one of those turtle mutants!"

"Not just any mutant," the second criminal said, "He's Raphael! The most feared and strongest mutant in the city!"

Raph grins as he cracks his knuckles, preparing himself for a good fight, "That's right, and you four are just in time for your butt kicking."

The criminals glare at the turtle, "Get him!"

The four criminals charge towards Raphael, but he easily dodges their pathetic attacks. One of them pulls out a knife and tries to stab Raphael, but he quickly grabs the crook's arms, disarms him, and flips him over his shoulder effortlessly, tossing him into a nearby dumpster. The second criminal tried to grab Raph in a lock, but Raph was able to break free, snapping the bad guy's arm in the process before throwing him to the side. The crook fell to the ground in defeat.

The finale two crooks tried to surprise Raphael with a sneak attack, but failed miserably. Raph gives the crooks a few good punches and kicks before they both fall to the ground as well. All four delinquents were down for the count. A quick and flawless victory for Raphael Hamato!

Soon, a police siren came from the distance. Raphael looks at the four crooks who grovel in pain on the alleyway floor, "I'll leave the rest to the cops," he tells them with a glare, "And remember, this is MY city!" And with that final threat, Raphael took off, leaving the crooks to be arrested and sent to jail.

Raphael proudly jumped from rooftop to rooftop. Another successful battle won by him and more criminals locked behind bars. It was no wonder he was able to win that fight so effortlessly though. He is the best fighter on his team after all. No matter what evil comes his way, The Foot Clan, The Kraang, the Purple Dragons, he will stop them. He's a highly trained ninja warrior. It was a glorious night for him. Nothing is going to distract Raphael from his patrol and to keep his city safe, except...

Something caught Raphael's attention in the corner of his eye. He stops in his tracks as he notices a figure on a neighboring rooftop not too far away. In the distance, standing in the moon's light, he saw a beautiful lizard woman. She was dressed in a shiny blue and teal armor, with dark blue skin and silver spots that ran all the way down to her tail. Just from the sight of her, Raph's heart began to race. He would recognize her anywhere.

"Mona? M-Mona!" Raph said excitedly as he began to run towards the alien warrior.

Raph quickly made it to the other rooftop where the love of his life stood. As he made it over, Mona turned and smiled, "Raphael!" She rushed over to him and soon the couple joined in a tight and loving embrace, both full of joy to have finally reunited after so long.

"W-What are you doing here?" Raph asked as they parted, still having his arms around Mona's waist as she rested her hands on his shoulders.

"I came to see you," Mona explained, leaning closer for her nose to touch his, "I've missed you..."

"I missed you too..." Raph closed his eyes as he felt the soft touch of his nose touching Mona's, "I was worried that once I was back on Earth we'd never see each other again..." he said in a quiet tone of voice.

"There's no need to worry. We're together now," Mona tells him with a lovingly smile as she begins to caress his cheek, "We can finally go on our date that you've been wanting, have are one on one training that I promised you," She begins playing with the tails of Raph's mask as she presses her body closer to his, batting her eyes, "And maybe... something a little more?" she whispers seductively.

Her bewitching voice sent an excited chill up Raphael's spine as his face turned red from her comment. He looked at Mona Lisa, her beautiful golden eyes were longing for him as much as he desired her. He felt her warm body was pressing up against his, sending a clear message as to what she wanted. Raph smirks as Mona cups his cheeks and pulls him towards her. Their lips softly touch and they join in a tender kiss, holding each other tightly in their arms, not wanting to let the other go.

Raph couldn't control himself, it's been too long since he's seen her and his hands began to slowly travel down Mona's body, causing her to moan. All he wanted to do was touch her, kiss her, and to hear her beautiful voice say his name.

"Mona..." Raph says softly through their kiss, "I love you..."

Mona smiles, "I love you too, Raphael."

Because of their words their kiss quickly grew intense as the couple soon lost their balance and fell to the floor. They share a chuckle from the clumsiness before continuing their heavy make out session. Raph was on the ground as Mona sat up on his lap. For a short moment Mona pulls away from the kiss and removes her armor, revealing that she was wearing a sexy teal bodysuit underneath. It was sleeveless and had a turtleneck, along with it showing off her long legs. Raph smiles and pulls Mona back towards him as he continues their passionate kiss, his hands touching her, traveling down her body to her hips, occasionally causing her to moan.

Raph's heart felt as if it were about to burst from his chest. This exciting lustful feeling rushed through his body. He began kissing Mona's neck as she held onto him tightly in a loving embrace. Their warm bodies rubbed up against one another as they moaned. It wasn't enough though, they both wanted more.

"Raphael..." Mona moans out softly as he continues to kiss her neck, "I want you..."

Raph looks at Mona and gives her a loving smile. She softly caresses his cheek as she pulls Raph towards her for another kiss...

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"RAPHAEL!" Leonardo shouts as he furiously pounds on Raph's bedroom door, trying to get his brother to wake up.

Raph opens his eyes, finding himself kissing his pillow. He quickly jerks up in a panic, holding his pillow tightly in his arms as he sits up from his bed, surprised by the interruption. "W-What Leo?!" Raph shouts as he attempts to take quick breaths, trying his best to calm himself down from the sudden loud disturbance.

"We're heading off on patrol soon," Leo answered through the door, "We got a new lead on where Shredder might be hiding. Are you ready?"

"Y-Yeah... I-I'll be right out!"

"Okay, well, hurry up! We haven't got all night!"

Raphael could hear his brother's footsteps walk away from his bedroom door. Leo was gone. Raph then looks at his pillow that he held in his arms. It was covered in his saliva from his dream kisses.

How humiliating...

Raph slams his face into the pillow and groans loudly with anger. He falls backwards, laying back on his bed in disappointment from being back in reality.

It was only a dream.

Raph removes the pillow from his face and tosses it to the floor. He looks up to his bedroom ceiling, recalling his dream he had just moments ago, "Just when it was getting to the good part..." he complains before taking a long sigh. He then notices his pet Chompy Picasso in the corner of his eye resting on his nightstand. Chompy was staring at Raph with slight judgement after witnessing his owner's actions when he was dreaming just moments ago, "Don't look at me like that," Raph says to the baby alien turtle, "You know I miss her..."

It's been months since Raphael, his brothers, and friends returned to Earth after their long space adventure. Meaning Raphael hasn't seen or been in contact with Mona Lisa, the love of this life, in those long months. It tortured him. He had no way to contact her, tell her how much he misses her. At least when he was in space he was able to message her on a daily basis, but now, nothing.

Is this what love does to you?

Raphael had a strong feeling the answer was "Yes". Maybe that's why he tried to avoid it for so long. To push all of his emotions deep down and never let anyone see or even know about that side of him so he can never be seen as weak. He caged up all of those emotions and let no one near them, but then she came along. Mona Lisa. It was as if she had the key and unlocked his caged up heart. She was the first woman to ever see past his aggressive persona and get to know the real him, the one that's kind, gentle, and misunderstood. The one Raphael feared for anyone to see, but when he was with Mona, he felt no fear. He felt like he could actually be himself around her. He would open up to her and she would happily listen to what he wished to say. She would calm him down when he felt frustrated and never judge him for his fears or actions. Raph may never admit to his brothers or friends, but he believes Mona made him a better man.

But thinking about her like that in my dreams?! God... I feel like a pervert...

Can you blame him? Over six months of him being in love with Mona Lisa, he can't help but to imagine him doing those things with her. To hold her in his arms, to kiss her lips, to touch her body, to...

Raph's desire for Mona Lisa grew everyday and his dreams are what was keeping him satisfied. He never talks about how much he misses Mona to others, that's not their business to know about. The only exception is Chompy, but only because he can't judge or talk back, though his expressions do say a lot at times. So, Raphael silently kept hope that he'll be with Mona Lisa again and when they finally do reunite he'll show her how much she means to him, and tell her how much he loves her. Something Raph regrets not saying to Mona when he was with her in space.

Chompy notices Raphael's slight sorrow and proceeds to hop onto his bed. He crawls up to Raph's face and begins to happily lick to cheer his owner up. Raph couldn't help but giggle, "Thanks, little buddy." He says as he pets the alien turtle. Raph then smiles, "Maybe one day you'll meet her."

Yeah. One day.

Raphael had a strong feeling that promise will come true one day. He has run into her by pure luck and coincidence before while he was in space, so maybe someday it will happen again, but this time on Earth. Maybe by some miracle Mona Lisa will come to Earth and they will be together again. Raphael just had to be strong and have hope.

Finally Raphael gets up from his bed, gears up, and says goodbye to Chompy. He then leaves his bedroom to join his brothers. He finds them waiting for him by the entrance of the lair, all of them ready to head out on their mission.

"There you are," Leo said as he spotted Raph approaching them, "Ready to go?"

"Yeah," Raph said, "Let's head out."

One day I'll be with her again...
