"Ladies and gentlemen, it's my great pleasure to announce: Graduates of 2021!"

You and the rest of the students threw your hats in the air in a loud roar of cheering. You whispered something in your principal's ear, asking him if you can say something before everyone can leave. With his approval, you stepped up to the podium.

"I just want to take this moment to say...even though you guys tried to bring me down and make me feel like I'm not enough, I made it through," you spoke. "And even though the years in high school had been a huge pain in the ass thanks to you, I still got the courage to prove that I am enough."

Some of the audience gasped. Raph, Leo, Alli, and Brittany stifled their laughter.

"So, in conclusion...fuck ya'll haters!" You saluted with a peace sign and proudly walked off the stage, leaving the audience speechless. Apart from Leo, Alli, and Brittany laughing out loud, the whole place fell silent.

Later on, you met up with everyone else, a few pictures and laughed shared. The entire sewers were filled with your giggles and the story of your speech.

"(Y/N), what in the world was that back there? That is highly inappropriate, yet daring," Nabel lectured you, despite the smile on her face.

"It's just something I've always wanted to do in a long time," you shrugged, smirking.

Raph laughed, wrapping his arm around your waist. "And that's why I love you, babe."

"Whoa! Hang on, buddy! Save the sweet moment in 2 years," Alli chuckled, her arms folded.

"Wh-2 years? What does she mean?" Raph asked confused.

"Well, it's how college works, babe," you explained to him. "Either that or four more years."

"WHAT?! 2 years?! What will I do without you here?!" Raph panicked, holding you by the hands. "What can I do for 2 years?!"

"I don't know. Maybe train, defeat any enemies, new and old, save the world and New York?" You teased.

"Oh, yeah. But (Y/N)—" Raph began.

"Raph, it's alright. I'll call everyday and text you whenever I can," you softly said as you cupped his cheek.

"Get a room, lovebirds!" Leo shouted while Casey and Alli chortled.

"Lay off, Leo!" You called back.

(Leo💙)

With April and Casey, who turned out to be the same girl that fought off Leo before you met her, sitting next to you, you were dressed in your graduation dresses and caps and ready to get a diploma. Leo sat with his brothers and the girls in the crowd in their human forms as he watched you get your diploma with pride. He couldn't believe how much time had gone by before his eyes. You and Leo had been dating for 3 years now, and that's what made him so proud of the progress.

As they called your name, you spotted Leo in the crowd. He gave you a thumbs-up with a dorky smile. You couldn't help but giggle quietly at that. Though it did sadden you to see that your father isn't attending the graduation. He would've been very proud to see you look so professional at the moment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the graduating class of 2021!"

With that, you threw your caps in the air.

After the graduation ceromony, you met the guys and girls at the sewers. Leo was the first to greet you by lifting you by the waist and spinning you around while laughing. "You made it!" he exclaimed after setting you down.
