[Finally. Ten days after getting beat up by a girl, Raph's finally holding up his end of the deal. Dinner. With Fujiko. Holy crud.

Behold Raphael, the turtle who can charge headlong into a pack of bloodthirsty ninja like he lives there, coming apart at the seams over one stupid little date. No. Not a date. Dinner. Just dinner. But even "just

[Mike's in the kitchen with his head in the fridge or the cupboards, muttering to himself.]

Pepperoni, eggs, flour (boy do we need flour, holy crap), veggie oil-

Raph, did she say what type of pizza she wanted?

[Because you are freaking out so much right now it's not even funny, and maybe asking you a question will make you stop wearing a hole in the linoleum.

Though probably not.]

[Raph just keeps pacing back and fourth across the kitchen floor, wringing his hands. He's a nervous wreck, but he doesn't even realize how ridiculous he's acting. If he stops moving, he starts shaking and he can't start shaking. That's just pathetic. He needs to do something. Get this over with.

He glances at the clock on the microwave. Holy crud why is it noon?

He glances up when Mike asks him a question, but he completely missed what he just said.]

What?

[Mike shakes his head. Honestly. He really hopes when if he ever asks a girl out he doesn't act this ridiculous.]

What. Kind. Of pizza?

Don't make me break out the jelly beans, bro.

No! Nothin' weird. Just do the regular kind. Pepperoni, meat lovers...or maybe no meat. Not everybody likes meat, right? Maybe she's one of those veterinarians. [Yes. Veterinarians. He smacks himself upside the head.] Crud, I shoulda asked!

[And Fujiko is early, for the pure sake of trying to sneak up on him. Sure he's not Goemon, but his reflexes are similarly high-tuned, and his reactions are jumpy enough that makes sneaking up on him the most fun game ever with possibly lethal sai at the end of it. So trying to be even quieter than a ninja, there she is, sneaking up behind him to purr in an ear.]

Boo.

[meanandgreen]

[Rule number one: Never sneak up on an edgy ninja. Raph was just finishing setting up the picnic, stetting out the pizzas and making sure the extra blankets were folded nicely in case they got cold... then Boo.

If he's fast enough, Raph will spin around and snatch his assaliant's wrist with breakneck speed, twisting it with enough force and torque to send her to her knees.]

[doubleppk]

[Eyes widen as her knees start buckling, before brown eyes narrow sharply, a brief flash of outrage, and just like that, the mask is back up in place.]

Well, I guess I know better than to sneak up on you, huh Sugar? [Frowns and looks him over.] Did something happen?

[meanandgreen]

[He lets go, but doesn't forget that brief look of anger in her eyes.]

Sorry. [Way to go, Raph. This day just keeps getting better and better.] Ran into an old friend down at the grocery store.
