A couple of weeks went by which meant that Phillip and Lena stayed at the lair so much more often and it was getting pretty boring because of no new missions, that is... Until the foot had someone new to meet.

"Mistress should've been back a while ago with her new secret weapon" Andrew said.

"Be patient"

"I hate waiting"

"The wait will be worth it-!"

The doors opened and footbots aligned themselves and bowed as Metal walked into the room.

"Mistress" Anton and Andrew said as they lowered their heads.

"You both look terrible." Metal said as she sat on her throne. "I have returned from my little trip and I brought back our newest assassin."

The two boys looked up and saw an female fox mutant, who was dressed in black, her hair was red due to her mutation with her blonde roots showing, which made her red fox ears and tail more noticeable, her fur was a light red which made her piercing blue eyes and her scar over her left eye shine, she looked to be in her mid-thirties.

".. sister."

"You know this freak?"

"She is an old friend, we're like sisters. Correct, Solar Flare." She snarled.

"Yes mistress"

"No offense but doesn't she have a real name?" Andrew said, chuckling sarcastically.

"Don't mock me. Don't you have anything better to do than targeting a boy who's with the girl you were supposed to kill."

"You don't know a thing about m-"

"Enough Andrew! Solar speaks the truth, that is why she is my new second in command."

"She's what?!"

"You failed your last mission to destroy Leah. Solar will complete it and you will assist her in anything she needs."

".. yes mistress"

Solar looked at him and grinned evilly as she walked away, covering her face with a black mask.

At the lair

"So.. you said you had something to tell us?"

"Yes, it's difficult for us to tell you but... Coral, can you give us the room?" Leo asked, Coral nodded and left the dojo, closing the door behind her.

"What's wrong papa?"

"It's not exactly a bad thing.. unless you wanna take it badly.."

"Depends on what it is!" Ray exclaimed.

"Well"

"Pop-Sical, tell us!"

"It's.. um.. Leo, you can say it"

"Tell us, stop beating around the bush!"

"Well.. it's about Andrew.. he's the sea monster prince"

"What?!" It was a mixture of shock and excitement, but Leah was mostly shocked.

"Look.. a while ago, when your mother's were still here, we became enemies with the king, Enji and queen, Aqualina of the sea monsters.. when they attacked, we had no choice but to kill them.. they had two kids, one of them was Andrew, the other his sister, Angelina"

"But... This can't be" Aubrey said, trying to figure it out.

"Doesn't make any sense!" Ray exclaimed.

"So if he and Leah get married it makes her a Princess?!" Sera gasped and cheered.

"But Father, you had no choice! Andrew doesn't understand why you did what you did!" Leah said.

"But he's still upset about his sister! After we had to kill their parents, their home was destroyed and they must've been separated!"

"Don't think of your dad as a monster, he and your mom made graves for them and left flowers, you just gotta make sacrifices" Raph explained.

"Oh my.."

"You felt bad for them, didn't you?" Leah asked.

"Mmm hmm.."

"I have to tell him! He has to know the truth" Leah tried to leave but Ray smacked her.

"DID YOU FORGET THE WAY HE TREATED YOU LAST TIME?! Come on!!! What happened to that beautiful well deserved hatred you were developing for him?!" Ray shook her.

"He thinks we killed all of his family, when in reality, he still has his sister left! He has a right to know!"

"No he doesn't!"

"Yes he does, Ray! Go for it Lele! He's your friend-"

"Enemy!"

"You gotta tell him-!"

"No, you don't!"

"Yes, you do!"

As they once again bickered, someone else was getting surprising news

"So, Phillip. I heard you're close with Bunty" Tony snarled.

"Yeah, we're friends!"

"Just friends?"

"Please, Phillip is in love with her!" Lena snickered.

"No.. okay, I have a small crush on her but, I don't wanna act on it"

"I knew it!" Tony screamed as the city started shaking.

"What the hell?!"

Tony held onto the corner of the roof and saw a bunch of gems, going into a portal.

"What are they doing?"

"Are those the gem things, You were talking about Tony?"

"With the different types of gemstones on their bodies, correct!"

"What do you think they're doing?"

"I'm not sure"

"Well, let's find out!"

Tony, Lena, and Phillip jumped down and fought one gem and poofed it, the jasper gemstone fell on the ground in front of a yellow diamond shaped portal.

"What's this?"

"I'm not sure, maybe we should take it to Bunty" Tony said but Phillip snatched the portal and turned it off.

"I'll take it to her!"

"No, I will!"

"I will!"

"We're going to the same place!! I'll take it!" Lena grumbled as she grabbed the portal device away from them and walked away.

Aubrey was searching for reasons as to why earthquakes just started.

"I think some crazy technology is causing these earthquakes!"

"Or we have a better theory"

"And that would be?"

"This!" Lena said and showed her the portal.

"Oooh~!! A new gem device! Thank you for bringing this to me, Lena!" Aubrey jumped up and down as she looked at the portal.

"No problem!"

"Let's see, same technology as used for their weapons but it's power button, is the shape of 3 diamonds"

"Interesting"

Aubrey pressed the button and a yellow diamond shaped portal appeared, "Yellow... Diamond"

"Who's that?"

"She's the leader or at least one of them, she's the one who tried to take my magic"

"Oh.."

"Maybe this is how they always appear, I wonder if it has something to do with the earthquakes"

"Well, only one way to find out"

"Maybe we should patrol too"

"If you girls are gonna be slow about it! I'm going first!" Phillip said but Ray pushed him.

"No way! If anyone should go first, it's me!"

Ray jumped in first but this only caused Phillip to grab Aubrey and drag her in.

"Oh great, let's go patrol.. come on dork" Leah muttered to herself, looking at her phone.

"I'm coming, meet me on the roof!" Remus said, on the other line.

"Alright, alright"

There were two teams, those who went in through the portal and the two teens on patrol. But by the end of this mission, the city won't be the only thing that was shocked.

"So, how come you couldn't meet up with us at the lair today?"

"My mom had to talk to me, how are you?"

"I'm fine, what about?"

"Something.. surprising"

"Oh... Mus, when you saw Andrew... Was he okay?"

"Depends on your definition of okay"

"You know what I mean! Is he hurt?"

"Mostly.. he said he was confused, about the whole, he loves you, missing his sister an-!"

"Okay, his sister?"

"Yeah, he mentioned that he's getting revenge and I asked and he said 'personal business' so I only assumed it's a sibling"

"Oh no, look I have to tell you something!"

"So do I! And not just you.."

"His parents were villains so my parents had to kill them!"

"Oh.. what about the sibling I assumed about?"

"His sister might still be alive, I have to tell him the truth-" A portal opened above them and Sera, Ray, and Lena landed on top of them.

"Ow!"

"Sorry, Lele!!"

"It's fine, just get up!"

"Sorry Chump, you two okay?"

"Yeah"

"What happened?!"

"The gems attacked us and we got separated from the others!" Lena explained.

"Oh no"

"Yeah, and the smart member of our team is there with two boys!"

"They're gonna get skinned alive"

"Don't doubt them-!"

Solar Flare landed in front of them, pulling out her weapons.

"Or maybe it'll be us!"

Meanwhile with Aubrey, Phillip and Tony

"Boys, please don't struggle" Aubrey pleaded.

"We aren't! We aren't!"

"Enough. We must take the mutant to the diamonds. The humans we feed to the corrupted gems." One of the gems said.

"Corrupted gems?"

"They are... actually, I don't know what they are!" She exclaimed.

"Well, that's great"

"We could wait around to be eaten or... we could take action!" Phillip electrocuted two gems. Tony and Aubrey also attacked the other three gems and soon started running away from them.

"Where are we anyways?!"

"The abandoned train station, built in the 1800s! No one uses them now"

"So?"

"So the fact that they are using this is strange"

"What are they even using it f.." Tony started then looked up and froze.

"What is it-!"

"Look!" He said, lifting both Phillip's and Aubrey's heads up.

The three of them saw a bunch of corrupted gems being hooked up to a machine.

"Fascinating! Corrupted gems seem to be normal gems but they become more animal-like and lose all sense in their humanity, and they are chipping at their gems for... gem shards!"

"Wow.. that's gonna make my brain hurt"

Aubrey felt someone or something rubbing her behind, she looked at Phillip.

"Phillip, can you please stop that?"

"Stop what?"

Aubrey still felt something rubbing her behind, "Please Phillip I said stop! You're the only one right next to me!"

"I'm not touching you! Look!" he says, exasperated and moves backwards a bit. "See!"

"Then... Who is..." Aubrey looked behind her and saw a baby corrupted gem rubbing against her.

"Aww, look"

The corrupted gem then growled at the three of them showing its teeth.

"Dah!"

"Run!!!"

Back with everyone else, all of them were tied up and Ray was fuming.

"I can't believe you called them!! If something happens to them I swear-!"

"I had no choice, Ray! Would you have risked Sera and Lena?"

"Where are your turtle masters? I grow impatient." Solar snarled.

"Calm down Solar Flare, they're coming!"

Solar growled but then she grabbed a sai that almost hit her head, she turned around and saw the turtles.

"Sore de, kame ga oitsume rareta tokide sae, kame ga kitsune ni sunappu suru to iu no wa hontōdesuka." Solar spoke in Japanese.

(Translation: "So, is it true that a turtle will snap back at the fox, even when it's cornered.")

"Mitsuke ni kite kudasai." Leo spoke back in Japanese.

(Translation: "come find out.")

Solar pulled out her weapons and lunged at the turtles.

They immediately fought back with the others cheering them on.

"Come on, pops! Rip the tail off that sad excuse for a fox!"

As Raph was attacking Solar Flare, he managed to knock off her mask and once he saw her face, he froze.

".. Haley?"

Solar looked up at him, angry and confused, "Who the hell is Haley."

"You, I thought you were d.."

Solar or Haley, kicked him in the stomach and kept fighting him.

"Snap outta it Raph! You're gonna get killed!!"

"Haley, it's us! We're your brother in laws!" Mikey yelled.

"I don't know you! Stop calling me Haley!" Her hair was set on fire as she exploded with anger.

"Come on, snap outta it! You know us!"

"No... I don't!"

"Pop's who is she?!"

"Your mother! Who I thought died 15 years ago! Haley, please!"

"My mom... No, that's a lie!"

"Who else could you have gotten your fox side from?! Certainly not me!"

"Give her a break, Raph! Her life just turned upside down"

"I know, I know!"

Raph finally pinned Haley to the ground, trying to get her back.

"Come on Haley.. don't you recognize this dork?"

Haley growled and tried to get out of his grip. Raph only held her tighter.

"You called me a hotheaded bastard and I called you hotshot, we played paintball as our first date and we hit each other in the face the first round"

"GET OFF OF ME!"

"Nope, you were also stubborn.. and when I touched your ears, you made an adorable noise then tried to bite me after.. I think you did this" he said quietly, and touched a sensitive part of her fox ears.

Haley purrs and blushed madly then punched him in the face, "WHAT THE F**K?!" She kept hitting him then she started gagging.

"That! You always did that!" He chuckled to himself.

She flipped him off and ran off to the side of the building to throw up but during that time, Andrew shot blow darts into their necks.

"Huh?" They said, pulling the dart out their necks and all of them became dizzy.

Andrew landed in front of them and stared at Leo with a disgusted look.

"Andrew, don't do this! They didn't kill your sister!"

"You are a liar, Leah! You will do anything to save them!"

"No, I swear! Angelina's still alive! They didn't know about either of you!"

"If you won't be silent... I'll silence you!" Andrew was about to smack her but he couldn't do it.

Back with Aubrey, Tony, and Phillip

"Phillip, hurry up!"

"I'm trying!!"

Aubrey jumped onto a ladder and Tony followed after her, putting his hand out for him to grab it.

He jumped after them, tried to grab his hand but the corrupted gem got him first.

"Noo!!!!" The two of them screamed and Aubrey hugged Tony for comfort.

"He's gone... H-He's gone"

"I'm so sorry Aubrey.."

At the foot clan mansion

"Wake up, little turtles" Solar Flare said, throwing buckets of water on the turtles.

"I can't believe it, you finally captured the great Hamato sons" Anton said, as he stared at them, they were all chained together on the floor.

"Let us.. go"

"Is the poison going to finish them off, or what?" Andrew asked.

"Unfortunately no, it'll only make them weaker, they may be small but their father made them tough as iron." Solar Flare explained.

"I see you finally caught them."

The turtles looked up and saw Metal walking into the room, staring down at them.

"Anton, leave us."

"Yes Mistress" Anton left the room and closed the door.

"So the four great turtles are now retched filth, waiting to be put out of their misery."

"At least, we don't cover ourselves with makeup to hide what little worth we have left after our father's passing" Donnie snarled, trying to get into his cursed form.

"Something your sister had the guts to do, unlike yourself."

"It is because of you! That I cover myself!"

"You did that to yourself. Should've taken your sister's advice."

"Metal, after all these years.... Just like Shredder, you continue to lie to yourself and.... Everyone around you" Leo spoke softly, looking at Solar and Andrew.

"You dare bring them up.. Let's start with you first." She snapped.

Metal lifted up her blade and was about to strike down on Leo when Solar grabbed her arm.

"No, Mistress!" Solar and Andrew shouted.

"You two dare stop me?!"

"You're killing your greatest enemies while they're poisoned and chained."

"What about honor?! Everything you have taught me, this is a dishonorable death!" Andrew shouted.

".. fine, gather the rest of the foot. I'll offer them one last fight."

Metal walked away, Solar followed after her, staring at Raph but Andrew stayed behind to make sure they didn't escape.

"Why.. did you both help us?"

"I don't know... Maybe it's because you all look so pathetic! Plus, I rather have Leah here to watch, she always makes a dramatic entrance"

"Heh.. your sister's still alive"

"Stop trying to trick me with your lies! You.... Destroyed my family, ruined all of our lives!" Andrew turned his back towards them and started sharpening his spear.

"No.. it was Oruku Hotaru..."

30 minutes pass as Leah snuck into the lair, seeing the turtles chained and Andrew nowhere in sight.

"Dad! Uncles! It's me!"

"Leah... No... Get out of here-!"

Andrew pounced on Leah from behind pinning her to the ground.

"Long time no see, princess"

"You don't deserve to call me that anymore, Sea Monster."

"What does deserve have to do with it! Watch."

"Ah, the little brat that caused your mother's demise. You do realize you caused me to kill your mother, don't you Leah." Metal chuckled as she stared at Leah, causing Leo to growl.

"I did nothing to you."

"Even after all these years, you have your father's broken spirit. How perfect it is for you to watch me end his life. Solar, are her little friends coming?"

"No, I only sense her."

"A pity."

"Leave them alone! Andrew, let me go! Please!" She begged and he loved it when she begged, making her seem weak.

"Aww.. maybe i'll let you go.. When they're taking their last breaths."

"... I used to think you were different, now you're just a joke." Leah looked away from him.

Meanwhile with Aubrey and Tony

"Salt, Bunty?"

"Yes, when gemstones are in salt they dissolve, so hand it to me!!"

"Alright, Alright!"

Aubrey began hitting the wall, which was attracting the corrupted gem. Tony then started throwing containers of salt at her and she hits them back at the corrupted gem. It was working for a few minutes, until they ran out.

"Okay, I have one more packet left!" Aubrey threw a small salt packet which landed directly into the corrupted gems mouth. Which then made the corrupted gem throw up miscellaneous objects and Phillip.

"Phillip, you're okay!" Aubrey cheered but then realized that he was going to hug her, "Wait! We haven't cleaned ourselves up yet!" Phillip hugged her tightly.

"I've had vomit on me before, I'm fine!"

"I hate to interrupt. But we have giant corrupted gem problems!"

"Right"

"That's a huge one in a portal!" Aubrey said, as she pointed at the giant one in the portal.

"Oh god, how the hell do we get rid of that?"

"I can try to reverse the effects but I need a distraction"

"Leave that to me!"

Back with the others

"Fight me!!"

"Dad! Come on!"

Metal then threw Leo to the ground and picked him up by his shoulders.

"Pathetic. I'll end you, then your brothers."

"Dad!!" Andrew saw tears forming on her face.

Metal once again lifted her blade and was about to land the final blow, when the ground started to shake once more.

"What the?!" The team shouted, the fireworks began exploding in their lair. This gave Leah the perfect opportunity to get out of Andrew's grip.

"No!"

"Aw yeah, Rescue time!!" Sera shouted as her, Ray, Lena and Remus jumped down from the cracked window they entered from.

Solar Flare, Andrew and Anton tried attacking them but the impromptu fireworks show served as a distraction for all of them to get away.

"NO!!"

"After them! Don't let them escape!!"

The teens were dragging the turtles across rooftops before coming to a complete stop.

"You guys, shouldn't have come for us..."

"We never leave you there, Pops!"

"Yeah, we weren't gonna leave you all behind!"

"Exactly dad!"

"Boys" Coral landed in front of them and handed them some water.

"Coral?"

"Drink up, you four will need it."

"Heh, still saving my a$$ after all these years, huh?" Leo snickered, still drugged up.

"Don't get to comfortable, I made a promise 15 years ago"

"I remember, I remember"

"What promise?" Leah asked, looking between the two.

"I'll tell you later, when I'm not drugged"

"Pops... That's my ma?"

"Yeah.. that's her.."

"Heh, I guess that explains why when we were escaping... she didn't attack me... She let me go"

"Mmm hmm.."

"Brute, you're not the only one who has mommy issues as Sera describes it! Heh, I don't even know what my mom looks like all the pictures I find of her are burnt so"

"Well damn"

"Yeah, Ray! Everything is gonna be okay-!" Sera got interrupted when they heard claws dragging against the roof.

"Go"

"But-"

"Leah, Go! I will stay with them"

".. Alright"

Leah, Ray, Sera, and Lena stood out of the shadows and saw Andrew, Solar, Anton, and some foot bots all in their fighting position.

"Attack!!"

Andrew lunged at Leah, Solar lunged at Ray, Anton lunged at Sera, while Lena and Remus took down some foot bots.

Back with Aubrey, Tony, and Phillip

"Look out!!" Phillip shouted at Tony as another corrupted gem got loose.

"I see it, what to do... What to do.... Wait, I remember something!"

"What is it?"

"Something that the gem files say, Cover me!"

"On it!"

Aubrey was trying to close the portal when she saw Tony riding one of the corrupted gems.

"Um... Okay?" She said to herself, confused.

"Wow"

"Climb up, Prince"

"Alright!" he said and climbed up on the corrupted gem.

"You keep working, Bunty! We got the gems!"

"I can't believe it.."

Back on the rooftop

"Andrew, don't make me do this!"

"What are you talking about? Are you gonna try and kill me!"

"No, I just-" Andrew pinned her to the ground and Leah took this opportunity to grab him by his face and kissed him to distract him.

Everyone froze and stared at them, some of them had disgusted faces but the other half were fangirling.

Raph also took this opportunity to pin Solar Flare to the ground and kissed her. Solar froze for a moment then felt all the memories flooding back to her, causing her to push him away and throw up the brainworm that was infecting her all those years.

".. Haley?"

"How's it going... Hothead?" She smiled weakly and stood up.

".. I missed you.."

"I missed you too"

He got up, walked over to her and hugged her. Haley hugged back but saw a foot bot sneaking up behind him, so she pulled out her claws and stabbed them in the chest.

"Still the same huh?"

"You know it, we're not out of danger yet babe! Come on!"

"I'm coming! I'm coming!"

Leah pulled away and Andrew was still frozen in shock, so she flipped them so that he landed on the fire escape.

".. that felt nice"

Leah stood up and touched her lips, smiling to herself then saw her team, having some smug looks on their faces or disgusted looks.

"What?"

"We're talking later"

"Girls!!" They all heard Aubrey yell, as she ran towards them with Phillip and Tony behind her.

"Aubrey!! You missed out!! Lele and Andrew kissed, Ray found her momsie and.. that's it!"

"Oh! Well, we found out about corrupted gems, and wait... Ray found her mama?!"

"Yeah!! Look!" Sera grinned and pointed to Haley, Raph and Ray, who were having a family hug.

"Aww"

"That surprises you more than Leah kissing the enemy?"

"In my defense I saw it coming"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I suspected it"

"Extras, shut up! YOU ARE RUINING MY MOMENT!" Ray growled.

"Alright, alright!"

"Aww, I witness my little pups' first rampage" Haley snickered.

"We taught her how to use a gun.. She shot Casey in his a$$"

"You taught her well! I shot my uncle in the shoulder, by accident"

"Aww"

Haley saw how the others were staring at her, "Are my In-Laws going to hug me or am I going to hug you?" She snickered.

"Haley!!" Mikey grinned and hugged her.

Leo and Donnie soon followed, joining the group hug.

"I missed y'all, so much!" Haley saw the teens staring at her, "Blueberry, you're daughter looks just like Novo"

"I know," he said and smiled.

"Is that Aubrey? I haven't seen her since she was born!"

"Mmm hmm!"

"Mikey, does Sera have your freckles? I completely forgot!"

"She does! Look!"

"Hi! Do I call you Aunty or Aunt Haley?! Or maybe Ray's momsie!"

"Oh man, I think my ear drums just burst"

"It's possible"

"Wait, don't tell me how many birthdays I have to make up for-!" Ray hugged her tightly.

"You being here is enough for me, Ma" Ray sniffled.

"Aww"

Haley smiled and hugged back, "It's enough for me too"

"How about we go home and throw a party!"

"The lair? It's still here"

"Of course it is!"

"Metal would brag about how she would destroy the lair, I thought..."

"Hey.. hey, don't listen to her.. It's still here, we're fine, now let's go home and throw a party"

"Yeah!" Haley smiled.

Back at the lair

"Hey guys, I got the snacks!" April said, walking into the lair.

April immediately saw Haley, sitting on the couch in a fresh change of clothes.

"Haley?"

"Hey Red-Head" She chuckled as she put her arms out for a hug.

"Hi!" she smiled and gave her a hug.

"Raph told me you're now a big shot reporter! Better not forget us, alright?"

"Never! I.. actually have something big to tell all of you"

"What is it?"

"Well.. is anyone else coming?"

"Yeah, I think"

"Oh, i'll wait until they get here"

"Alright? Hey dorks! April is here!"

"Yay!! April, did you bring the pizza!"

"So.. you said you wanted to talk?"

"Yeah"

"About what?" Leah asked Mus.

"Well... About...." He stared at her then decided to go into a completely different direction, "About how you kissed Andrew!"

"Oh my god, why?!"

"Why did you kiss him? Didn't seem like you did need to because you were gonna flip him over!"

"I had to distract him somehow!!"

"Yeah, I get that! But you had to kiss him?"

".. yes?"

"You enjoyed it, didn't you?" He had a smug look on his face.

".. maybe, so?"

"Oh, And here I thought you were a good influence! I must bow before such rebelness" He snickered and pretended to bow down to her.

"Shush!"

"Dorks, come on!"

"What is it Ray?"

"We're about to have dinner!"

"Alright, Alright!"

"Jones, you're lying! My daughter did not set her room on fire!" Haley snicker at the story.

"Yes she did! We had to grab a fire extinguisher and since that barely worked, we had to call the fire department!!"

"In our defense, babe! We used the fire extinguisher on Ray many, many, many times"

"Oh my god"

Ray sat down next to Haley and she looked at her scar, "How did you get that scar?"

"Which one?"

"The one over your eye, like mine! How'd you get it?"

"Well"

Ray looked at her, more interested in the story.

"Before you were born and after I started dating your dad, my sh**ty dad decided to bust a beer bottle over my head! I almost had to get my eye removed, but thankfully, that didn't happen."

"Oh, do you remember that night?"

"You mean the night where the fire started and I was taken away from you and you're dad? Yeah"

"Okay April, we're all here, what did you wanna tell us?" Karai asked, holding a glass of wine.

"Okay, I'm really excited!"

"About what?"

"Yeah, what is it Aunt April?"

"Okay, you all know I have been seeing someone-!"

"Really?!"

"Who?"

"You didn't tell us!"

"You didn't tell them?" April asked, looking at the turtle brothers.

"No, I thought you would!"

"Exactly!"

"Oh my god!"

"Um.. before we interrupted, you said you were seeing someone April?"

"Yes, so... me and him decided it was time to start a family"

"Mean.. you're not"

"No way"

"I am! I'm pregnant-!"

"What?!"

"Wow!!"

"OW! My ear drums!"

"Sorry!"

"And.. I'm not just pregnant" April said then showed everyone else the ring. "Surprise!"

"Get it Red-Head!" Haley shouted.

"Damn!"

"That's awesome!!"

"Congrates, April"

"You deserve it"

"Aww, thanks you guys! Hey.. do any of you wanna be in the wedding?"

"I call helping you plan it!"

"Heh, I'll be ONE of your bridesmaids," Haley snickered.

"Can I be a flower girl?"

Aubrey giggled as she ate her food, not really expecting to be a part of something.

"Sure!"

This then made Aubrey choke on her food.

"P-Pardon me?"

"You can be a flower girl!"

"Can I be one too!" Akemi asked.

"Sure!"

"Yay!"

"Aww"

"Karai, do you wanna be my maid of honor?"

This made Karai choke on her wine.

"Love!"

"I'm fine! I'm fine!" she said, still coughing.

"Breathe!"

"I'm fine!" she said as she finally stopped coughing. "Um.. Red-Head, why me?"

"We're friends, aren't we?"

"Yeah"

"Exactly, I don't need a reason," she said and smiled.

"Um.. Leah?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry, I need to go"

"Oh, okay! I'll walk you home"

"Actually, I was going to meet up with Nymph at her house"

"Ooh~"

"Shh!"

"Oh, Okay! See you"

"See ya" he said and walked away.
