                                                                  "Lie Down in Your Arms"

 One day, I was having a nightmare, as usual, and I was woke up by the sound of Leo yelling "Raph wake up!" I opened my eyes slowly and sat up from my red bed. I got my red bandana and groggly tyed it around my head. I shuffled to the door and opened it with a crack as it detached from the dark blue walls. I was surprised to see Leo on the other side of the door " Oh hey Raph, I was about to come get you" he said blushing "Right," I started " So why did you have to wake me up so early?" "First of all, it's not early and second, I thought we can surprise Master Splinter, because overall it's his birthday today" Leo answered "Are Donnie and Mikey up too?" I asked "Nope it's just you and me" he said making my cheeks burn, "Ok then...." I said.

 As me and Leo decorated the dojo, I was trying to hang up some yellow colored streemers over the tree on a ladder. I felt the ladder tip to one side making me fall off, luckly Leo caught me before I hit the ground, talk about akward. After we were done decorating we woke up Donnie and Mikey to help us make the cake (Mikey did most of the work). When Splinter came out of his room and into the dojo we yelled "Surprise! Happy Birthday!" We all had fun during the party, we also invited April and Cassie to come. It was a blast, until Leo's favorite song came on "In Your Arms" by Nico and Vinz, and he asked me to come dance with him.

 I tried to get out of it but the next thing I knew, I was on the dance floor. He had his hand on my hips and me of course blushing like an idiot. I finally said/coughed "I can't dance" "I'll show you then" Leo smiled. I looked at April (she knows i have a crush on Leo) and she gave me a thumbs up. I finally got the curage to say "Ok I'm ready."

 At first I kept misstepping but after a while I got into the song and I only saw stars. It was just me and Leo, Leo and me in a colurful erray of colors created by a simple tune and words. Until it slowly ended and we were back in the dojo.
