Scar stopped roof jumping and collapsed on a random roof of an apartment. Those words he'd said, the face he wore...Scar just couldn't believe it was him. But, it was. And she was still heartbroken. Another tear slid down her cheek as she sat at the edge of the roof, looking out toward the full moon. Though you couldn't see the stars, the moon was still a beautiful sight. Scar sighed, pulling her knees up to her chest and burying her face inside.

What she didn't know, was that a certain red masked hot headed turtle had followed her and was now, staring at her, sadly. True, he felt guilty and wanted to apologize, but she looked... Truly sad and broken. It hurt him more to know that he was the one who did this to her. Suck it up, Raph he thought. With a small smile, he walked over to her, crossing his arms over his plastron.

"It's a beautiful night, tonight, don't you think?" He asked with a faraway look in his eyes. Scar gasped, turning to look at him. She was way too sad to actually say anything hurtful to him and for the first time ever, she was at a loss for sarcasm. So she simply wiped her tears away and nodded. Both teens remained awkwardly quiet, reminding Scar of the harsh words he'd said, earlier. She blinked back a river of tears.

Raph knew that this silence was uncomfortable for both of them, so he decided to just get it over with. "Scar, listen. I'm not really good with apologies, or telling my feelings in any kind of way, but even I know that the words I said to you shouldn't have been said. I... I was wrong for that and I'm truly sorry. Can you ever forgive me?" Scar looked up with tear stained eyes. She took a deep shaky breath and nodded yes.

Raph cracked a small relived smile and before he could say anything else, Scar jumped up and ran into his arms. She was full out bawling now, her tears falling onto his shoulder. He held onto her protectively,  as though she might slip away, while simultaneously running his fingers through her hair. Soon, Scar calmed down.

Raph pulled away first, his arms still around Scar's waist. "Scar..." He paused for a moment collecting his words. "You are the... Coolest girl I've ever met. You understand me, You accept me, and most of all, you forgive me despite all the crap I've put you through." Scar smiled at this. Raph brushed a stray stray of hair out of her face. "I would die a thousand and one deaths before I see anything happen to you. Seeing your smile keeps me going everyday. Hearing your laugh gives me the strength to keep my anger in check." He paused. "And looking into your eyes takes me to an entirely different dimension."

Scar blushed a bit. "I know I can be a jerk sometimes and that I'm not the kind of guy most girls wanna hang out with and, your probably like the other girls who want a Superman in their life, but..." He took a deep breath. "I was wondering if you wanted to be my girl." Scar looked him over first. Despite his rather unusual outburst, he still had heart and he was definitely still her Raphie. And she loved him. She smirked. "Why would I want a Superman, when I have a Clark Kent right here." She said, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Raph looked confused. "So that's a..." "Yes." Scar said finishing his sentence. With that, She stood on her tiptoes, gaining enough height to be able to touch her lips to his. It was quick, yet sweet. Not to mention they both enjoyed it. "So, if I'm Clark Kent/Superman, does that make you Louis Lane?" Raph asked smugly. Scar giggled. "I guess." "Do me a favor, okay. Just don't randomly go jumping off of buildings and running toward danger just to get me to rescue you." Scar laughed, lightly punching Raph in the shoulder. "Shut up, Raphie"
