The turtles returned to their lair, to inform their father of Leonardo's plan to keep Serena safe and for Raphael to grab his things. Serena was still in a blood raged from the time they left, to when they dropped off Haper, and made it to Serena's house.
The boys arrived shortly after them. Serena gave them a tour of her home, while not looking or talking to Leo once. All four of them were in awe at the beauty of the house. They ended the tour with Raph's room. All four of their jaws dropped at the site, Raph smirked as he entered. His brother obviously jealous.
Almost a week later, Serena and Raph grew a lot closer, although neither would ever admit it. Raph got up with Serena when she got ready for school, and while she was gone during the day Raph would train or play video games. When she got home, they would hangout and the turtles and April would come over when it got dark. April would hang out with Serena while Raph went on patrol with his brother and would come back afterwards and repeat the same system the next day.
Serena grew comfortable with the system they had created. She still was barely talking to Leo though, which hurt him more than she realized. But he knew that he had done the best thing for her. While it angered him sometimes how well Serena and Raph got along once they realized they had a lot in common, he was glad that they did.
Serena entered her home with a sigh as Raph greets her at the door.
"How was your last day of school?"
"Bittersweet." She answered
She and Raph walked into the kitchen as she neatly set her bag against the side of the marble counter. Raph rolled his eyes at her neatness. Raphael learned very quickly that she was a clean freak as soon as he moved in.
"Well? Don't you have to start getting ready for your...dance thing?"
Serena giggles
"Prom."
"Oh yeah that."
Before Serena can respond her phone rings, she pulls it out and looks down at the phone in shock.
"It's my dad." She says to Raph
He nods as she answers
"Dad?"
"Hey pumpkin!"
"Dad, I've been worried sick! You haven't answered my calls in almost two weeks!"
"I know, and I'm sorry honey. I've been...extremely busy..."
Serena notices the pause in his tone, which was what he did when he was lying.
"Dad, what's really going on?"
"Nothing Honey!" He says nervously
"I wanted to call and tell you to have a good time at prom. And I'm sorry that I'm not there."
"It's alright Dad, but when are you coming home?"
"About that honey, I have to make another trip. Some...business... has come to my attention, and I'm need as soon as possible in Japan." He explains
Serena knew that something was off, his tone completely different: more dire sounding.
"Alright Dad. Well, I love you."
"I love you too, sweetie."
The line cuts off after that. Serena looks down at her phone in confusion.
"Something wrong?" Raph asked her
"Nah, it's fine." She says shrugging off her suspicion
She looks at Raph with her typical smile
"Come on, you're going to help me get ready until Harper gets over here."
Raph lets out a snort
"Yeah, You're funny."
Serena gave him a challenging look. They stare at each other intensely until Raph blinks. Serena laughs in victory as Raph groans. Their way of deciding who does what, was a staring competition. Which Serena had suggested, a few days after he moved in, in order to keep some type of peace.
Serena prances off too her bedroom as Raph follows her.

Two hours later, everyone had arrived. Serena and Harper were in Serena's room preparing for their big night. Raph had left as soon as Harper arrived, heading straight to the living room to find is brothers already there. April arrived not long after, with a huge gift bag in her hand.
Mikey followed April to the girls, trying to guess what was in the bag, while the other brothers talked.
"So how was it?" Donnie asked as he took a seat next to Leo.
"It was...nice..."
Leo and Donnie both give him a look.
"What? Turns out Serena isn't as annoying as I thought she was."
Donnie gives him a 'I told you so' look. Leo, on the other hand, seemed a little... upset.
"What's wrong Fearless?"
"Nothing." He answers sternly
Before anyone can press him further, Mikey comes running down the hall.
"Guys! Their ready!"
The three other turtles stand as Mikey joined them. Not far behind them, was Harper, Serena, and April.
Harper was on Serena's left and April on her right as the gracefully walked into the living room.
Mikey cheered as Harper and Serena did a twirl.
"So, what do you guys think?" Serena asked
The four turn their attention to them. Leo stared in awe at Serena. The simple baby blue dress that she was wearing fit her perfectly, defining her natural curves. Her long black hair was curled slightly at the ends, her 'bangs' pinned behind the center of her head. The diamonds that hung from her ears and placed around her neck made her look like a goddess.
Harper stood beside her, her black two piece dress gripped her tightly, slimming her even more. Her brown hair was styled similar to Serena's, but curled completely. Harper's simple gold necklace and stud earrings made her look like the Vogue City Girl.
Donnie, Raph, and Mikey walked up to the girls.
"I think they would look better if they were red." Raph commented
Serena and Harper rolled their eyes at him.
"I think they look fantastic. They match your personalities." Donnie says
"Aww, thanks Don!" Harper says to him
Donnie blushed and Mikey was talking as fast as his mind worked.
Serena's attention fell on the turtle that was not gathered around them, Leo.
His gaze was everywhere else in the room besides on her. She goes to walk over to him, but April speaks.
"Girls! You gotta go! You'll be late."
Harper and April both go to rush out the door.
"Wait! My dad won't be home tonight, so you guys are more than welcome to stay here. I know you have patrol, but I thought we could celebrate when we got back." Serena suggested
. Leo's eyes found Serena's as she began to leave, her expression soften and her eyes telling him something. Raph smirks as his brothers nod in agreement.
Leo nods as they leave, his brothers smirking at him. .
"Dude. You totally have a thing for Serena!" Mikey said
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't play dumb. We've seen you eyeing her." Donnie says
Leo rolls his eyes at them, but as Raph speaks Leo finds it hard to not show a smile.
"Ya' know, from the week I've been here, it's pretty obvious that she's got a thang' for you too."
Mikey and Donnie smile, not going to let this go.

As Serena and Harper step into the room, they smile in astoundsment.
"Oh my god."
The diamonds shimmer and turn as the music continues to blast. The place was packed from the graduating class of 2016. The dark walls added the secluded and lively feeling Serena was aiming for from the beginning. She smiled as she watched every enjoy the venue. A wave of reassurance hit her.
"Serena, you have outdone yourself!" A voice from behind her said.
Serena and Harper turned around to see Naomi and Katherine Goodman, The girl that Zach had cheated on her with.
Harper gives Naomi an angered look as Serena tries to keep her cool.
"Katherine. So nice to see you."
Serena ignored Naomi's pleading glance, obviously hurt by her 'best friend'.
"And it's nice to see you. You did a really good job pulling this together."
"Thank you, my-"
"But you didn't really put it together, did you?" She questioned
Her long blonde hair that fell to her hip was pinned up in an elegant bun. Her green eyes painted with light shades of grey and her pale skins cleaned from blemish. She was all Serena wanted to be wrapped up in one.
Harper squeezed her hand
"We have to go." Harper says bitterly too the two.
She drags Serena out onto the dance floor. Thr bright lights shining down on no single person, a traitable scent in the air. Harper hands Serena a glass of wine. Serena gives her a look, but she ignores it as she calls Kai over to her.
As the young blonde walked over, she looked stunning in her dress. It's soft pink color shaped around her figure, as she fril danced off her shoulders as she moved. Her blonde hair pinned down in a flowy bun, and her jewelry added the simple flare her outfit needed.
"Kai! It's so good to see you!" Harper says with a warm smile.
Kai happily joins the girls, slipping in the middle of them.
"It's good to see you too Harp! Serena, this party is incredible!"
Serena smiles breifly at her enthusiasm, before continuing to sip her wine.
Kai takes notice of this, her eyes filled with worry.
"What's wrong?"
"We had a run in with Katherine, and you'll never guess who was with her." Harper says bitterly
"Katherine? Oh god. Who was with her?"
"Naomi." Serena says
Kai stares at them with shock for a few moments, before completing whipping her face.
"Let's just forget about it. Tonight is about celebrating our graduation! We shouldn't let them ruin that or let all of the student councils hard work go to waste." Kai says nudging Serena's shoulder.
Serena smiles and goes to respond but is cut off by the sound of a voice.
"Serena."
Serena turns around and sees Zachary standing behind her. He looks her up and down before smiling. Kai and Harper quickly stand beside her, glaring at him.
"I mean no harm-."
"Yeah right." Harper says
"The school board wants Serena to make a speech before the 'real' party starts."
"Ah, yes. I'll be over there in a few moments."
Zach gives her a nod before returning to the board members.
Kai and Harper share a look before turning to Serena.
"I don't know if that's a good idea, Serena." Kai starts
Serena gives them a puzzled look as Harper continues
"What if they have something set up?"
"Like what? This place is owned by one of the richest and most powerful women in New York, who would dare try and mess up one of her most expensive venues?"
Kai and Harper exchanged glances, Kai speaking up.
"I did some research. Turns out Nyx is Katherine's aunt."
Serena nods
"Maybe, but you know I'm a quick thinker I'll come up with something."
As Harper and Kai go to protest, Serena walks towards Zach; leaving them on the dance floor.
Serena made her way over to the table, the head chairman seeing her instantly. Microphone in hand, he addresses the room
"Attention Everyone, may I please have your attention?" His voice dark and hard, drawing the crowd to stop all conversation
"I would like to present Ms. Serena Valentina, head of the student council."
He hands her the microphone with a smile. Serena calms herself as she sees all the eyes in the room on her. Letting out a breath, she begins.
Little did she know, the football team and dance team pulled out their phones to record.
"Hi, My name is Serena. And as introduced, I am the former president of Midtown's High Schools student council."
Serena looks around the room as she continues
"These last four years have been some of the most challenging, engaging, and heartbreaking years of my life."
As she finishes of the last part, her eyes found Zach's in the crowd
"But, I have learned alot. And I am forever grateful to the people who made the last four year some of the best in my life."
Harper and Kai smile widely at her, recording her big speech.
"So, graduating class of 2016, let's enjoy our last night as seniors!"
As Serena finishes the crowd cheers until a bucket of green slim is dumped on top Serena, covering her head to toe. The crowd gasped, as the dance and football teams snickered.
The crowd expected Serena to lose her cool, Zach looking to her with worry and shock. The board looked out into the crowd, in an attempt to find the person responsible. Serena surprised everyone when she laughed.
"You know, I expected this. So I came prepared."
She motions her hand to the side and Liam appeared through the crowd. Laim handed her a disc before disappearing into the crowd.
Reaching over the counter she and inserts the disc into to the DVD player as the projector comes on.
Everyone watched it closely gasping at the sight. On the DVD showed Monday, April 15th, the day after Zach had cheated on Serena. It was a security footage of the dance room
Serena set her bags down on the floor, and perked up at the sound of light foot steps
"Katherine." Serena said as she turned to face her
"Well look who it is, surprised you have the balls too show up here."
"Likewise."
Katherine simplely laughed as she handed Serena a piece of paper.
"What the hell is this?"
"Your resignation notice."
Serena read the paper carefully, she looked back up at her in shock.
"What on earth is the meaning of this?"
"The Dance Division no longer sees you as fit to be Captain in light of, certain events."
"And what certain events are those?" Serena says
At this point the girls are practically an inch apart. Katherine simply smiled
"It's bad publicity to have a cheater as Captain of the Dance team."
"We both know that I didn't cheat on Zach."
"Maybe, but no one will believe you."
Serena gives her a confused look.
"What are you talking about?"
Katherine simply shows hands her the phone from her pocket.
Serena looks down at it in shock and angry
"You created a fake conversation between me and Zach!"
Katherine smiles
"Why? Why do this?"
"Because why should you have everything? You're simply the kid of an immigrant that got luck."
Serena looks to her in anger.
"You'll never get away with this."
"Of Course I will, I already have."
As the recording clicks off, everyone in the room turns their attention to Katherine, who looked embarrassed.
"Ms. Goodman, please come with us." On of the boardman says
Serena smirks as she watches her get excorted into the main lobby. Kai and Harper walk up to her
"That was impressive." Harper says to her
Kai just smiles
"I think I'm going to change, then head home." Serena said looking down at herself
"Your not going to stay?" Kai questioned
"Nah, I think I've had enough of school dances."
Kai goes to protest as Serena heads through the doors, but Harper stops her.
"I'm going to go with her, she'll be fine."
And with that, came the of Serena Valentina's Highschool Career.
