Time and Space

Gravity

(Mona Lisa's p.o.v.)

I had been on Earth for a week now and I was enjoying spending every second of it with Raphael. He made me feel so beautiful and amazing. I had noticed something strange though. Every once in a while, my chest felt like it was being stabbed. It was such a sharp pain. It's probably nothing, but it's happening more frequently so I'm starting to get worried. I hope nothing is wrong with me.
I kept close behind Raphael as we ran across the rooftops. "Woo hoo!!" He yelled, being adorable as always. We were out looking for crime. I almost caught up to him completely, but then I started to get really dizzy. I slowed down. I was taking short, quick breaths. I stopped running and saw Raphael still running. I saw the world begin to spin as I fell to my knees. I couldn't hear anything besides a high-pitched ringing in my ear. I was so light headed and I didn't know why. "Raphael..." I tried to speak.

(Raphael's p.o.v.)
"Haha! You're so slow!" I said as Mona was nowhere to be seen. "Mona!" I yelled. "Mona?" I asked worried. I stopped running. I turned around and saw Mona several buildings back. I ran towards her. When I got to her, she looked so sick. Her face was pale and her body was weak. I saw her eyes begin to close and her neck stopped supporting the weight of her head. "Mona!!" I caught her in my arms just in time. She didn't move. She didn't speak. I was so scared. "Mona? Mona? Y'gythba?" I said with my voice filled with horror that I would never see her eyes again. I would never hear her voice again. I would never make love to her again. I lifted her up bridal style and quickly ran back home. Maybe Donnie could help. Hopefully.

(Mona Lisa's p.o.v.)
I opened my eyes and saw Raphael looking at me with sad and tired eyes. I was in Donatello's lab. I rubbed my eyes. "Uhh, what happened?" I asked weakly. I soon saw Donatello walk in. "Mona, based on the information that I've gathered, I don't think your body is strong enough to withstand Earth's gravity for long periods of time." He said. I was shocked. "But, I've been on Earth for a week and this has never happened before." I said. "Well, sometimes it takes a sudden force of energy inflicted upon your body." He said as he turned his back and did something with his chemicals. I looked over at Raphael and he looked at me with guilt because he knew as well as I did, what that 'sudden force' was. I couldn't believe it. I'm getting punished for making love to the love of my life. What next? "Oh and Mona, you might want to keep your energy up by eating more than usual." Donatello said as he handed a bowl of crickets to me. The crickets still alive and chirping. I looked away from Raphael, embarrassed. "Haha, funny Donnie, now give her some food." Raphael says. I was so embarrassed and I felt ugly and weak because of the place that I was in. I hoped Raphael wouldn't be disgusted or afraid of my diet, so I looked at him and took a deep breath. "Raphael... this is my food." I say as I look down at the crickets. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize." He said as he placed his hand on my back. I pulled my head up with a look of surprise on my face. "You're not... grossed out?" I ask him. "Why would I be? If that's what you need to stay healthy, why would I be grossed out?" He says. I felt an ugly smile form on my face. "But I thought you were afraid of insects..." I say quietly. "Mona." He says as he cups my chin and pulls my face close towards his. "If this is what you need, to keep yourself alive, then you need to stop talking and eat." He says as he takes the bowl out of my hand. I was very confused. He slowly reached his hand in the bowl and picked up a cricket. I was surprised that he didn't scream in fear. He slowly brought it up towards my face. "Is this how you eat it? Like this?" He asks. "Y-yes." I stuttered. "Okay. Then, open." He says as he pushes the cricket into my mouth. I savor its flavor and I savor Raphael's look of satisfaction. He smiled. Donatello had left the lab a long time ago. He must've known that Raphael wouldn't care that I ate insects. Raphael continued to feed me the crickets one by one until the bowl was empty. He smiled. He pulled me in and kissed me. He didn't care that I ate what he was afraid of the most. He loved me and wanted me to be healthy and safe. I wrap my arms around him and pull him on top of me as I lay back on the floor. He breaks out of the kiss. "Remember what Donnie said. You can't have a 'sudden force' on your body." He said. "Shut up and kiss me!" I say as I pull his face onto mine.

       I tried not to hurt Mona, but she insisted that we make love right now. She pulled my belt down and tossed it aside. Then, she pushed my body up and positioned herself to where she was on top. She kissed me and ran her fingers down my sides. She moaned. I soon heard the door open. "Ummm..." Mikey says as Mona jumps off of me. "Sorry to interrupt, but Leo wants to go for a surprise attack on the purple dragons." Mikey says. I sigh. "Okay. We'll be out in a little bit. Thanks Mikey." I say. He walks out of the lab. "Aw.." Mona says. "I really wanted some Raphael love..." she said as she looked down. "Later, beautiful." I said as I saw her blush. I helped her stand and we walked out into the living room together.
