~A few days later~

After Leo and I finished our daily training routine together, we were in the living room by the pool. We were both eating pizza grilled cheese sandwiches that Mikey made us for lunch.

(Eating lunch with Leo~)

I finished eating my 2nd pizza grilled cheese sandwich. "That was a great training session Leo. And remind me to say thank you to Mikey later for the lunch."

He chuckled. "Okay."

I drank my Kool-Aid and wiped my mouth with a tissue. "Man, that was good. I had a great time training with you. It's fun to be with you." I smiled.

"Me too Aqua. I enjoyed our time together." he blushes. "So um, you wanna take a swim?"

"Sure." I smiled and dove into the water. I started to glow and my legs came together to morph my tail. I swim back up to the surface and smiled. "Hey, you coming in Leo?"

"Yeah, I'm coming!" he took a breath and splashes in.

I laughed as he came up. "This is great."

"Yeah." he looked at my tail. "Um Aqua? Can I touch your tail?"

"Sure." I smiled and held onto the ledge.

He touched the part where my fin was at. "Whoa, this is cool. I've never touched a mermaid tail before."

"Well now you are." I giggled.

He chuckled and kept touching it. "Wow. So what's it like being a mermaid Aqua?"

"It's awesome. You can do anything while you're underwater. You can look around at the ocean environment, collect seashells, swim with all the ocean creatures, talk to them, and you can serenade songs too."

"Wow, you can sing?"

"Not really. Sometimes the fish can sense that I'm here. The fish and dolphins and whales surround me while I'm around. They make good company."

"That sounds cool. What are you good at?" he asked.

"Well, I love drawing, fighting, knitting, meditating, and swimming obviously."

"That's amazing Aqua." he smiled.

I smiled too. "Um Leo? Can I confess something to you?"

"What is it?"

"I-I like you a lot." I blushed.

He blushed and smiled. "I like you a lot too."

I smiled and blushed at the same time. "So what about you? What are you good at?"

"Hmm, well I'm good at meditating, training, climbing trees, and roleplaying Space Heroes." he blushed.

I blushed and stared into his amazing deep blue eyes. I easily got lost to them and couldn't focus.

~Leo's Perspective~

Aqua looks so beautiful! She's staring right at my eyes, her eyes were so pretty. She knows how to do everything like me. We have so much in common... I want to show her how I truly feel about her, I want her to be safe and sound with me. I love her! And I hope she loves me back. I must do something to show her my feelings toward her. "Um Aqua?"

"Yes Leo?" she blushed.

"C-Can you close your eyes for just a little moment?" I stuttered.

"Sure." she closes her eyes.

I didn't know what to do, to either kiss her or not... If I kiss her, she might claw at me and hate me. 'Oh well, here it goes nothing.'

I blushed as I leaned toward her and intertwined my lips to hers. I blushed as red as Raph's mask as I kissed her. 'I hope she doesn't hate me... Please don't hate me Aqua... I love you...'

~My Perspective~

'Mmm... What's this warm feeling? It feels... just right...' I slowly opened my eyes to see that Leo was kissing me! My ears perked high and I blushed like a lot of red.

(The first kiss!)

'Oh my god, he's kissing me!' my mind exploded. But at the same time, it felt good... I didn't know whether to kiss back or anything. So I closed my eyes again and kissed him back softly, wrapping my arms around his neck. I felt his arms snake around my waist gently which made me blush in the warm kiss. I blushed even more when I wrapped my mermaid tail around his leg.

~Leo's Perspective~

I blushed as I felt Aqua's tail wrapping itself around my leg. But so far, I'm enjoying the kiss. As soon as I was about to finish the kiss, a new feeling came to me. I slid my tongue into her mouth slowly and wrestled with her tongue. 'Mmm... she's so soft and warm...' my mind spoke to me.

~My Perspective~

I didn't know what I was doing, but the new sensation in my tongue caused me to wrestle with Leo's tongue. But the only thing was that there was something stuck in my throat. It caused me to make a very small sound that came out of me.

"Mmm~" I moaned softly.

I blushed hard when I made my first moan. But I couldn't help it, the kiss felt really good... I wanted more.

~Leo's Perspective~

As soon as I heard Aqua's soft moan in the kiss, I blushed a lot of red. But I think she loves the kiss! I was happy that she's enjoying it. I wish that this kiss would end forever, but apparently I had to pull back so I can get some air in my lungs.

As I was breathing, I looked at Aqua who was blushing as red as a strawberry. She looked at me and said, "W-Wow... That's w-was amazing..." she stutters as she blushes more and smiles.

"That was." I smiled as I was calming down. I put my hand over my heart. 'Man... My heart's pounding. Should I ask her out or not?' my mind spoke to me. I think I should ask her out. I gulped the feeling down my throat. "Um Aqua?"

"Yeah Leo?" she blushed.

"Do you um... do you wanna be my girlfriend?" I blushed red. 'Please say yes...' I thought to myself.

~My Perspective~

'Did he just asked me out?! Oh my god! I should say yes!' I blushed at the thought and looked into Leo's eyes. I gave him a smile and kissed his lips, then I pulled back. "Yes Leo, I would love to be your girlfriend." I hugged him close.

"Thanks for making me the happiest turtle ever Aqua. I love you." he whispered in my ear.

"I love you too." I whispered back to him. I was so happy that Leo loves me, and that I love him too.

~Sensei's Perspective~

I was walking past the living room until I saw my son Leonardo and our guest Aquamarine in the pool. I was a little surprised that our guest Aquamarine was in a different form. Her legs were gone, but I believed that she was a mermaid. I saw the both of them embracing each other in their arms. They both remind me of Tang Shen and I. They both look very happy together, and it made me happy too. So I left them alone with a smile on my face while drinking my tea, thinking about my love.
