As Raph was packing for their trip, Jamie stood behind his doorframe. She knew she had to tell Raph how she felt before he left. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"It's Jamie," she responded.

"Oh hey. Come in," Raph smiled, stopped packing, and turned to face her.

She entered and shut the door except leaving it open a crack.

"Thanks. I need to talk to you," Jamie said.

"Okay. Fire away," he allowed.

"Okay here goes," Jamie said, inhaled, and confessed, "I wanted to tell you that...I like you. A lot."

Raph looked surprised at what she said. He didn't think that she would like him like that.

"Y-You do?" he stammered.

"Yeah. But I didn't think you'd return the same feelings for me," she sighed.

"What? Why wouldn't I?" Raph asked, slightly confused.

"Well, for a while, I felt that way because you told Donnie that he didn't have a shot with April. So, it made me feel like we wouldn't be together," she explained.

"Oh," he understood.

Raph felt a little guilty about that. He regretted saying that to Donnie when it made the girl he really liked doubt his feelings for her.

"I'm sorry that you felt that way. And to make it up to you, I like you too," he admitted, walking up to her.

Jamie froze up as he tucked some hair behind her ear.

"You do? For real?" Jamie wondered, starting to smile.

"Yeah. So, will you be my girlfriend?" Raph asked, placing his hands around her waist.

She wrapped her arms around his neck then answered, "Yes."

"That's great, but to make it official, we have to do something that I've wanted to do to you for a long time," he smirked.

"And what might that be?" Jamie smiled.

He leaned in and Jamie understood what he meant. She filled the gap and their lips finally touched with a sweet kiss. It was just about to deepen and go further.

"Aww!" a lot of voices said.

They stopped to see everyone else staring at them and they immediately blushed out of embarrassment.

"I knew they would end up together," Mikey smirked.

"Guys!" Raph growled, looked at Jamie, and relaxed saying, "I gotta go."

"Okay. Be careful and return safely," she requested, putting her hand on his cheek.

"I will," he promised.

They shared a quick kiss and the turtles left for their spiritual refinement.
