   Leo squealed, "He's so-! Augh!" He rolled in his bed covering his red face.
  Next to him sat Donnie, "Yeah, yeah. We get it, you like him, but you really need to get ready. It's about to be 4."
  Their brother sat up quickly, "You're right! What am I gonna wear?!" He stumbled out of bed and ran to his closet, searching through his clothes.
  His twin shook their head, "Sigh, you really have terrible style. Maybe ask the fashionista of the family?"
  Leo scowled, "Fine! Dearest twin, what should I wear for my date tonight?"
  Donnie smirked, "Thought you'd never ask Leon. You should wear that shirt up there, and maybe some glasses. Oh and I see something else..."
  The twins together got an outfit picked out that made him look pretty good.
"How do I look?" Leo asked, spinning to show the whole fit.
"Good of course, I was the one who picked it," Donnie said.
Leo groaned, "Yeah, yeah what time is it?"
"Almost 5, you should go outside," Donnie replied, looking at their clock.
"Okay! Uh wish me luck!" Leo ran out his room and close to the entrance, he looked at his phone.

Camilo:
Here cariño

Leo smiled before walking out of the lair. He saw the teen leaning on a motorcycle, phone in hand looking down at hi.
"Milo!" He called out, the boy looking up.
"Hey, you ready?" Camilo asked with a grin.
Leo scoffed, "Of course. Why wouldn't I be?"
Camilo rolled his eyes before handing him a helmet and putting one on himself, "Let's go then, prince."
   The two climbed on, Camilo driving with Leo sitting behind him, his arms wrapped around the teen's waist.
  "You wanna take a drive first or after we go?" Camilo asked.
  "Let's do it first," Leo replied, a dark blush forming on his cheeks.
  "You got it, cariño." Camilo began to drive off.
  Leo gripped on tighter at the sudden movement, chest pressed flush against the teen's back. He just prayed that he couldn't hear or feel his racing heart.
  He leaned forward and let his chin rest on Camilo's shoulder, he smiled at the sight before him.
  They were on the road, it was starting to get a bit dark but he could see everything around him. He could see the buildings towering over the two as they drove, it was amazing.
  Camilo glanced behind with a smile, "You like it?"
  Leo nodded, "Yeah...it's beautiful." He gazed up at the sky in awe, he hadn't thought much of it until now. It was a beautiful pink color, the clouds were faint but there, he loved it.
  They drove for a while, Leo taking in all of the sights, before arriving to their destination.
  Camilo stopped his bike and turned it off, he took the helmet off and shook his hair with a hand, "Not too much?" He asked, turning to see Leo taking his helmet off too.
  "Nah, it'll take a lot more than that!" Leo exclaimed, a smug grin on his mouth.
  "Uh huh," he took the helmets and set them on the seat. He took a coin out of his pocket and set it on his bike, watching it disappear into think air.
Leo's eyes widened, "How did you do that?!"
Camilo winked, "A magician never reveals his secrets." He looked down at his ring and tapped it twice, revealing his yokai form.
He wasn't lying when he said he was a fox. His once tan skin was now a bright red, his ears pointed on his head and a long, fluffy tail came from his back. His eyes were a light grey, almost blue, shade.
Leo looked at him in awe, "You...you look so good right now."
Camilo smiled, "Thanks, now this place you were talking about." He made the symbol on the wall revealing the entrance to the Hidden City.
"Ah yes! Let's go!" Leo grabbed the fox's hand, well paw, and pulled him along.
  The two walked to a building with a pizza as the logo, "Señor Hueso has the best things here, you'll love it!"
  Camilo nodded, "And is he the owner you know?"
"Of course! Why else would we be coming here?" Leo replied. He opened the doors and called out, "Hey Bone-man! I got someone here you'd like to meet!"
  "Pepino, if this is another silly trick to get me to give you free food, it is not happening!" A man's voice grumbled.
  They turned and saw a skeleton standing there, "Señor Hueso! I'm not lying! This is Milo." Leo gestured to the fox next to him who smiled.
  "Buenas noches, Señor Hueso, espero que no este ocupado," Camilo stuck a paw out.
  Hueso took his paw and shook it, "Ah, pero tú sí eres buen niño no? Esta bien zorrito, no te preocupes, tengo tiempo."
   Camilo smiled kindly, "Muchas gracias Señor Hueso."
  Hueso turned to Leo, "Pepino, your friend is a lot better than you, vámonos." He led the two to a booth where he gave them menus, "Díganme si necesitan algo."
   "Gracias, Señor Hueso!" The two replied.
   Leo turned to the fox with a pout, "He likes you more than me."
   Camilo chuckled, "Don't worry, cariño, I like you more than him," he winked with a smile.
  The turtle before him turned dark and looked away shyly. He snapped his menu up to cover his face, "Ahem-so what uh-what do you want?"
  "What would you recommend?" Camilo asked, looking at the teen.
  "Well, I like the pizza of course, Hawaiian is pretty good," Leo rambled.
  "Are you on the menu tonight?" Camilo asked, voice soft and low, "Because I was hoping to get a taste of you..."
  Leo squeaked earning a laugh, "You can-uh-you can get Hawaiian I guess."
