Out of the spotlights

A/N:"Credit goes to fabuloustrash05 for creating the AU! I also want to thank her for giving me permission to write this one-shot, also every character given in this one-shot is above eighteen so they are no longer teenagers"

Warnings: Mentions of smoking and slightly fowl language

The turtles have always been in the spotlight, unable to relax just for a moment. But it was a quiet night, not many customers for their show so they decided to finish up early and see if they can explore for the night.

"Guys, Are you sure we won't get caught? You know father will have our heads if we don't head back home" Leo said, he was sitting in the passenger seat next to Casey in his Dodge series 116.

"No way, Leo! This club is only for exclusive folks, ya know? Rich guys and stuff! The paparazzi won't even know you're there! Security is tight" Casey said, he parked his car on the street as the four brothers walked out.

"Thanks for the ride, Casey! We owe ya!" Mikey yelled as he stood at the door.

"No problem! I'll come back when the show is over to pick you up!" Casey yelled as he drove away.

"Let's go, should be startin' soon" Raph said, he started to walk inside with his brothers following after him.

"Okay, let's not draw attention to ourselves! We don't want any discriminating photos popping up, okay?" Leo explained.

"Tell that to Raph, he's the one who went to a Burlesque with Slash and Casey" Donnie said, as he and Mikey sat down on a table close to the stage.

"So? The paparazzi can kiss my-" Raph sat down as Leo sat next to him, shushing him as the show started.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the gem of our city... Novo Couture and The Crystal Gems'' The host spoke into the microphone and walked away as the lights dimmed.

Solaris, a wolf mutant who had demon wings who played the piano, stepped onto the stage wearing a black suit with a fedora matching hat as his long hair covered his face. Following him was Robin, a human that had bird wings and talens who played the String Bass, he was wearing a burgundy suit with a messed up tie. Then came Nightshade, a dragon with long, big wings who played the drums. He was wearing a dark green suit with a few buttons unbuttoned.

The three boys sat down at their instruments as the curtain slowly opened to reveal a woman, who had skin as pale as snow, long blue wavy hair that covered half of her face, she had some siren-like scales along her arms and legs, her eyes were a dark royal blue. She was wearing a strapless dark blue sparkling dress that had a cut to reveal her leg which allowed the dress to match her blue make-up, as a fluffy white boa draped over her shoulders, with a pin that no one could seem to see, on her dress.

The three boys began to play their instruments as the woman known as Novo began to sing.

"You had plenty money, 1922~ You let other women make a ... fool of you~" Novo sang as she walked along the stage.

Leo looked at the amazing woman, whose voice was as radiant as her beauty. He began to feel his face become hotter as he fanned himself with a napkin.

"Why don't you do right, like some other men do~?" She sang as she stepped off the stage.

The turtle brothers turned around and looked at Leo with a confused look on their faces.

A waitress walked by their table and set down some glasses of water for them which Leo absolutely drained.

"Get outta here, Get me some money too~" She looked at Leo, as they locked eyes which caused her to smirk.

Leo turned red as she walked over to him.

"You're sittin' down and wonderin' what it's all about~! If you ain't got no money, they will put you out... Why don't you do right, like some other men do~?"

Novo ran her hand over his, leading up his arms, which caused amusement for his brothers as Leo leaned his chair back as this gorgeous woman caressed his arm.

"Get outta here, Get me some money too~"

Novo was now inches away from his face, which Leo couldn't help but start to stare at her.

"Now if you had prepared twenty years ago~ You wouldn't be a-wanderin' now from door to door~" She turned around and began to walk back to the stage, still staring at Leo from her shoulder.

"Why don't you do right, like some other men do~?" She stepped onto the stage and smiled at the blue eyed turtle who was absolutely drenched in sweat.

"Get outta here, Get me some money too~"

Novo leaned against the curtain, smiling at the audience.

"Get outta here, Get me some money too~" She turned around and leaned over her shoulder, slowly walking backstage.

"Why don't you do right, Like some other men... do~?" She dragged the final note as she walked backstage, the band stopped playing as the lights turned back on while they walked backstage as well.

"Heh, we can tell you enjoyed the show, Leo!" Raph smirked as he leaned back in his chair.

"I-I don't know what you are talking about, Raph!" Leo grumbled.

"Then what is with all the napkins you stuffed into your shirt? And you're drenched in sweat" Donnie snickered as he pointed out his disheveled brother.

Leo blushed from embarrassment and began cleaning himself up, as the two laughed at him.

"I don't blame him! She is a pretty lady, besides I think she was more interested in Leo than anyone else!" Mikey said, among the laughter.

"I wouldn't get your hopes up" A young woman about their age spoke from the table behind them, she had a hat covering her face and a long black dress on.

"No offense, Sweetheart! This is a private conversation" Raph snarled, as a strange woman interrupted them.

"Raph!" Leo scolded him.

"Apologies for interrupting but you were being loud." The woman took off her hat and revealed that she was a fox mutant, with two fox tails.

"Sorry Ma'am, it won't happen again but... what did you mean about 'don't get your hopes up'?" Donnie questioned.

"First of all call me Shadina Kitsune, second of all, Novo is of the Couture family. They're incredibly rich and powerful, after all they are sirens. Novo is one of the only daughters." Shadina explained and she put her hat back on.

"They're family will never allow their daughters to be with someone who is not worthy of their title, and that is something you have to earn." She explained as she smoked a cigar.

"And you would know how?" Leo asked.

"Because I am from the Kitsune Family, my brother plays the Bass. My family is the other most powerful family in this city. All I suggest is be careful, you never know how deep a family goes." She explained, as she got up, paid for her meal and drink and left.

"She was... Mysterious" Donnie spoke, kinda enchanted by the woman.

"Forget about her! Leo, shoot your shot! We never see you with a lady" Mikey exclaimed, trying to encourage his brother.

"I'll think about it, but let's just keep enjoying the show! They should have more than one singer going on" Leo said, as he leaned back in his seat.

He thought about Novo, how her radiance glowed in the room, the fact that no one seemed to know about her, or the fact that he was the only one that caught her attention.

A couple of hours passed.

The four brothers walked out of the show, talking about how great the show was but it seemed that Leo was still a little preoccupied.

"Leo, are you okay?" Donnie asked.

"I'm fine, let's just wait for Casey" Leo answered, when he noticed Novo walk out from backstage and seemed to be waiting for something.

"Um... Guys, wait here!" Leo said, he walked over to her.

Novo was shivering in the cold, she seemed to only be wearing a light coat along with her signature boa and sparkling dress.

"Miss.Couture?" Leo asked, not trying to alarm the woman.

"Huh?" She turned and looked at him, "Oh! I'm sorry, I'm not taking any pictures or autographs tonight" She spoke kindly, not only was her voice as radiant as her singing but it was a sweet french accent.

The same accent that still resides when she sings, that makes her more... Interesting.

"No, I'm here to ask for an autograph or a picture, I just wanted to see if you were okay! You seem to be waiting for something or someone, also you seem cold so I wanted to give you this" He spoke as he put his jacket around her.

"Oh, now I recognize you. You are the blue-eyed turtle I played around with during the show! I apologize if I made you uncomfortable"She spoke, soundly apologetic as she wrapped herself in the jacket.

"You don't have to apologize, I understand! But I just wanted to see if you were okay, I know how hard the pressure is"

"I'm quite alright, thank you for asking. I almost didn't recognize the famous Leonardo from The Dojo, I'm almost surprised you managed to come here without paparazzi" She snickered as Leo began to blush.

"Yeah! So was I, Then again I shouldn't be surprised if a famous Couture sister knew my name"

Novo laughed, which caused Leo to smile more. Her laugh was sweet, innocent.

"You're too modest! I have all you're albums, you're voice is wonderful to listen to"

"Thank you, I love the way you sing as well. You make anything sound beautiful"

Novo smiled at the comment, "Thank you, Leonardo. Perhaps the next time we meet, your father and mine could allow us to have a duet! That way, we can get to know each other from outside of the spotlight"

"I would love that!" Leo smiled at her.

A white Rolls Royce pulled up in front of them, as another woman who seemed about they're age poked her head out the window.

"Novo, we must head home. Your mother and Father await you" She spoke, with the same french accent.

"I'm coming, Coral" Novo turned towards Leo and handed him a pin, "Hand that back to me the next time we meet and I will hand back your jacket" She smiled as she got into the car.

Leo looked down at the pin and saw that it was the shape of a water lily, he smiled and looked back up at her.

"I will, Miss.Couture" He spoke.

"Oh please, Call me Novo" She smiled and waved goodbye as the car drove away.

Leo waved back as he heard the hocking of a certain man.

"Leo! Get in the car!" Casey yelled, with Raph at the window cheering at his brother.

"Leave him alone!! He finally found himself a lady!" Raph chuckled as Leo got into the car.

"So what did she give you?" Mikey asked, Donnie looked at him, curious as well.

"Let's just say this won't be the last time we'll be seeing her" Leo answered, he looked down at the pin and smiled.

Maybe they will see each other again... Outside of the spotlights.
