I took a shower, dried my hair, and finished my makeup. I walked back to my room to see April, Karai, and Renet holding a beautiful red dress with black wedges and a diamond necklace. I went up to the dress, feeling the material.

"Do you like it?" Karai asked.

I gave them two thumbs up and they giggled at that.

"Well, go ahead and get dressed," Renet instructed.

"And good luck," April added.

They left and I put the whole outfit on. I walked out and they all brought me up to the surface.

We made it to the rooftops and when we were a building over from Raph, they let me go alone, but not without a few hugs and good lucks. I made it over and got Raph's attention. When he saw me, his jaw dropped and I blushed.

"Wow, you look amazing. I mean you always do," he complemented and nervously rubbed the back of his neck.

I smiled, pointed at him, and did the number two. This let him know I was returning the complement.

"Thanks. Hey, do me a favor?" he requested, I nodded, then he asked, "Could you press the play button on that radio?"

I looked to see a radio, went up to it, and pressed "Play". The song I Just Want You to Know Who I Am by the Goo Goo Dolls and Iris came on and I smiled. This song totally described me because even though I can't talk, I want Raphael to know who I really am: the mermaid who saved his life. I turned around to see him holding his hand out to me.

"May I have this dance?" he asked.

I nodded and put my hand in his. We started dancing and I felt complete.

"I Just Want You to Know Who I Am"

"And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am"

I wanted Raph more than anything in this world. Through each movement we did, I felt that he wanted me too. There were even times where our faces were so close that we could kiss, but we didn't, which saddened me a little. I just hoped he would eventually.

A/N They are on a date and it feels like Raph has the same feelings for Jamie as she does for him. Wouldn't y'all agree? 😏
