It was night at the turtle lair, and Raph was readying for a date with Mona Lisa, his Salamandrian girlfriend.
Raph was finished. He then asked his brothers one question: "Did he look good?"
"You look so dashing, Raph! Who knew the rough 'n' tough Raphael would manage to look so handsome? You look so good that even I want to go out on a last-minute double date with you!" Donnie complimented.
"Wow, Raph, you be killin' it my bro!" Mikey said to Raph with his arm draped over his shoulder.
"Raph... You look amazing." Leo said.
"Thanks, you all. Now I'm gonna go, Mona can't wait for that long! Bye!" Raph said with a big grin on his face. This date will be perfect, as perfect as his and Donnie's plan will be. (Yes, Donatello helped.)
"Woohoo!" Mikey cheered, with his tumbling brothers cheering Raph on, wishing him good luck on his date.
Raphael turned on his flashlight, exited the sewers and went onto the rooftops. He quickly went on a sprint to the Mutanimal's lair, to pick up Mona.
Raph just arrived at the Mutanimals' lair. He knocked the garage door as hard as he can and he hollered.
"Slash!" Raphael said loudly while knocking. "Can you open the door please?"
"Coming, coming! I'm on my way, Raphael!"
Raph then turned off his flashlight. He didn't to potentially blind Slash for a moment.
The mutant turtle, donned in black finally answered the door.
"Hello, Raphael. I assume that your'e gonna pick up Mona Lisa?"
"Yes, Slash." Raph replied.
"Good, now Leatherhead is now going to her "quarters" to tell her that you've arrived. Slash told him.
Leatherhead then arrived with the alien, she was in her space suit. To Raph, Even if she was dressed in rags, he'll still find her stunning as heck.
"Hello, Raphael." The alien greeted.
"Hi, Mona! You bought your flashlight?" Raphael said, blushing.
"Yes, I did, my dear." Mona replied.
"You do good, my dear friends. And please tell Michelangelo that I said "hello." " Leatherhead said happily in his usual raspy voice.
"Will do, Leatherhead!" Raph replied. "Mikey definitely will be happy!"
"Goodbye, Mona and Raphael." Leatherhead and Slash said.
"Bye, Leatherhead, bye, Slash!" Mona and Raph said.
  Mona and Rpah then flicked on their flashlights, they couldn't see in the dark, after all.
"So, where are we going my dear?" Mona curiously asked.
  "Ah, were're going somewhere that you might like!" Raph delightfully said. "Why don't you guess?"
  "The sewers?" Mona guessed.
  "Nah, were're going onto the surface." Raph answered.
  "Hmm, well, I'm stumped." Mona said.
  After awhile, they arrived at the front door of an odd, dome-shaped building.
  "Tada! We're here! This is the New York City Space Museum! I thought you might like it." Raph said
  "Oh, Raphael, I love it! Hopefully, an exhibit on Salamandria is there. It would be simply lovely." Mona said with a tinge of affection.
  "Um... Sorry, Mona. I'm pretty sure Salamandria isn't there." Raph awkwardly replied. "Anyways let's go in."
  Raph then lead Mona Lisa to a back door. He picked the lock and the couple went in. The lock-picking part was kind of illegal, but until Donnie makes something that will disguise them in the day, they'll have to stick to lock-picking. Or wearing trench coats and hats but Raph always thought it was a little stuffy, so no.
  They then made their way out of the storage room, which apparently was were they entered (Mona initially thought this room was an exhibit, but Raph said it wasn't.)
  After that, they found themselves in a room that had theories and models about if aliens exist. Models such as martians, planets were plentiful in this room. There was also a theory about the big red spot on Jupiter having alien life.
  "Hm... These humans are right about Jupiter..." Mona said, scratching her chin.
  "Right about what?" Raph asked. He wasn't interested in science, let alone Astrology! But since he liked talking to her, it made it more interesting than it should've been.
  "There is an Utrom base there. It is used to stored weaponry and to make Utromdroids. It's also the place where the Utrom monitor Earth." Mona told him.
  "Interesting..." Raph said.
  On the left were models of the Kraang. It was so life-like that Mona accidentally slashed them with her sword!
  "Mona, no!" Raph said while attempting to stop her from slashing the models. But Mona with her military training was too fast for him.
  Smoke then came out of the burn marks of of the bottom half of the models. The sword cut the top half clean off.
  "Uhh, Mona? I don't think they're actual kraang." Raph said.
  "Oh? Then what are they, and why do they look such like those cowardly aliens?" Mona asked, curious about why they looked so much like real deal.
  "They're um, realistic models of them. Like the model of the Solar System on Donnie's desk?" Raph explaimed. "Oh, and humans have seen them. Only the Kraang though, they don't know about Bishop and the other Utrom."
  "Ah, so that's the reason." Mona thoughtfully replied.
  "Yep," Raph replied quickly.
  "Shall we go to another room?" Mona said.
  "Yeah, let's go," Raph chirped. Even with an accident, he was still happy about the events that happened here.
  The next room was a bunch of space-related stuff, like moon buggies and things like that. A multitude of space rocks were there too.
  Mona and Raph thought it was kinda boring, so they went to the next room and apparently it was the snack bar.
  "Raphael, what is a "hotdog"? I thought people don't eat dogs." Mona asked, pointing to the menu.
  "No, no, this is different. There is no dogs in there. I dunno why they called them "dogs" though." Raph replied. "Wanna try one?"
"Oh, yes please." Mona said.
  Raph went into one of the doors of the snack bar. He quickly took two cooked hot dogs, ready for tomorrow and put it between two hot dog buns. He then went out, squirted some ketchup in the 'dogs and gave one to Mona Lisa and ate one himself.
Mona Lisa took her first bite of hot dog. "Mmm! This is quite nice for a "hot dog"." Mona exclaimed with delight in her eyes.
"Yep" Raph happily exclaimed while eating his hot dog. "I haven't ate them in awhile. Nom!"
  They stayed there for awhile, and went to the planetarium.
  The planetarium was full of plush, velvet seats, and a screen was at the end of the room. Raph then asked Mona to take a seat and he went to the room at the back.
The room was filled with machines and stuff. Normally, when Raph saw machinery, he'd either smash it or ask Donnie to help with this "crisis". But tonight he was on his own. He remembered the steps that Donnie taught him and started operating the machinery.
He then went out of the room and took a seat next to Mona. And started "watching the movie about space".

***

"Huh?" Raph said, blinking. "Why the heck am I in Donnie's Lab?"
Looking around, he saw the multiple thingamabobs in Donnie's Lab. At the same moment, Donnie came in.
Noticing Raph's confusion, Donnie said "Oh, Mona dropped you here, she finished the movie, and you were asleep at that time. She tried to wake you up, but you didn't. So, she bought you back home."
"Ohhh, so that's why- Wait, I did'nt say goodbye!" Raph responded frantically while yawning.
"Relax, I know how you feel. So, I said goodbye for ya." Donnie calmly replied.
  "Well, I better go to sleep." He said while trudging out of the room. "G'night Don."
"Good Night, Raph." Donnie said as he approached his newest invention and started tinkering on it.

The End.
(P.S. There will be a sequel, and it's a crossover-type thing)
