Together Forever (Book Five)

20. The Next Step (Part Two)

Leonardo
Leo smiled as he and Olivia jumped rooftops. Just the two of them. He'd arranged it the day before and felt rather well about it. Olivia smiled at the feeling of the wind in her face, blowing her blonde hair. The moon shone brightly tonight, despite its crescent shape and the streets were almost empty. It was the times like this that she loved. Leo stopped abruptly, forcing Olivia to do the same. With small smile, he walked to the edge of the building and sat down, pulling one foot up to his chest and letting the other dangle freely off the edge. Olivia sat beside him.  "It's a beautiful night." She said simply. "You picked a good day to hang out, Leo." Leo chuckled. "Yeah. Hang out." He felt the sweat pour down his face as he tried to calm his ferociously beating heart. He shyly glanced overat her and saw the way the pale moonlight illuminated her eyes. It's now or never, Leonardo He told himself. "Liv," He began. She turned to look at him. "Yeah Leo?" Leo lightly bit his bottom lip before beginning. "Olivia. I can't express how much I love you enough. You're the best thing this life has given me. In the past four years I've known you, you've done nothing but make my life perfect and joyful. I want to do the same for you. Forever. I want you to be the first thing I wake up and see every morning and the last thing I see every night. I want to grow old with you and have kids and grandkids and just make your life as perfect as you've made mine." He chuckled under his breath. "I guess what I'm trying to say is," He pulled a small box from behind his back and Olivia's eyes widened a she realized what he was doing. He opened the box to reveal a beautiful blue ring.

"Olivia, will you...will you marry me?" Olivia placed a hand over her mouth and she tried to hold back a grin that was too big for her face. At first no words escaped her lips, but that soon went away. "Yes... Yes I will!" Leo's eyes widened. "You will?" Olivia nodded. "Yes! Yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!" Leo exclaimed. He picked her up bridal style and spun her around, pressing his forehead to hers. "You have no clue how happy you just made me." He said, still internally cheering. Olivia smiled. "I think I do."

Raphael
Raph sits beside Scar, his arm around her neck as they watch a movie. His heart pounded as he waited for just the right moment. In reality, he was just procrastinating. Occasionally, he'd stare at her from the corner of his eye to make sure she wasn't looking at him. Come on, Raphael. This is simple. You asked her out once, now just do it again. He took a deep breath. "Um Scar?" "Yeah?" She asked. "Your hair looks... Nice?" She raised a brow at him. "Um...Thanks?" He internally face palmed himself for his immense stupidity. He had to do this! "Scar?" She sighed and turned to him again. "Yes?" "I love you...." He swallowed his doubts and fears before continuing. "I love you and I know you love me too. Your amazing, sweet, smart, gorgeous and way more than any guy like me deserves. So.... Um.... Will you.... I'll you marry me?" He looked down at his feet as he pulled out the proposal ring.

Scar smirked. "How could I refuse?" Raph smiled at her. "I love you future Mrs. Hamato." He said. "And I love you, Mr. Hamato."

Donatello
If anyone was taking this day hard, it was Donnie. He tried to remain calm, but he couldn't. He sat in his lab, attempting to calm his nerves, but they refused to calm. His mind raced with terrible heartbreaking scenarios that scared him. "Hey, Donnie-Bear!" Hannah grinned. Donnie jumped at the sound of her voice. "Guess who's in charge of planning Liv and Scar's weddings?" She asked in a sing song voice. Donnie chuckled. "You?" Hannah nodded. "I already have the theme planned out! They could have one wedding put together! There's gonna be red roses and blue tulips hanging from the ceiling! Karai, Shini, Mona, April, Casey, The Mutanimals, and everyone else we know is gonna get invited, we'll serve pizza and a two layer cake and-" "You might have to expand you plans a little, darling." Hannah gave him a curious look. "Expand? Why?" Her eyes brightened. "DID MIKEY PROPOSE TO FAITH?!?!" Donnie shook his head. "No. I'm proposing to you." Hannah tilted her head, but her eyes widened as she realized what he'd said. Donnie grabbed her hands in his. "Hannah. You are the most beautiful, awkward, clumsy, special, amazing person in the world. You make me smile when I'm sad, you keep me laughing when I'm mad, and you always find a way to turn a bad day into something positive." He got down on one knee, still holding Hannah's hands. "When I look at you, I see a girl who deserves more than the entire universe can offer. More than I can offer but, heck, I'd sure like to try. Hannah," He slipped a purple ring onto her finger

"Would you like to do me the honors of becoming Mrs. Hamato?" Hannah giggled like a child. "Heck yeah I would!" Donnie stood up and pressed his forehead to hers. "So, you gonna start replanning?" "I already have! Now we're going to have to add violets to the list of flowers, get a three layerd cake, definitely change the wedding setting from the dojo to somewhere else-" Hannah continued to plan while Donnie just watched his future wife, a goofy grin on his face.

Michelangelo
Mikey had already heard about how everyone else had proposed to a their girlfriends. He was the only one left. And that just scared him even more. Today was the day. He had to do it. Even though he was a week after everyone else. His mind raced as he walked up to Faith, who was sitting on her bed. What if she said no? What if she was going to break up with him? What if she didn't love him in the first place and was just dating him out of pity?!?! He gulped. "Um... Faith?" She turned around and smiled at him "Yeah, Marshmallow?" Mikey lightly bit his bottom lip and handed her a cookie. "Read it..." He mumbled. Faith smiled but did as she was told. It said will you marry me? Bite off yes or no. Faith giggled at his creativity. Then she took a bite of the cookie and handed it back. Mikey looked at it and grinned. She bit off yes!!!!! He laughed out loud and hugged Faith tightly from the side. "I love you I love you I love you I love you!" He exclaimed. Faith giggled. "I love you too, Mikey." He silently slipped an orange ring on her finger.

"I'm so lucky." He grinned. Faith smiled. "We both are."
