Chapter 19:

-Raph's POV-

The look on Tara's face was enough to make ya worried when Mikey entered the room with seven boxes of pizza an' a large paper bag labeled 'STEAK OUT' in red letters surrounded by yellow.

"Okay, the lady asked if I wanted eight baked potatoes, whatever those are," Mikey looked at April, "so I got eight baked potatoes."

The look on Tara's face made my stomach do back flips, "Oh Mikey, you are so sweet!"

"What did I do?"

"I think it's 'er stomach talkin'," I stated.

A loud growl filled the room, which made all eyes rest on Tara. She laughed nervously with her hand on her stomach, "Yeah, it was. Did you get the steak sauce?"

Mikey blinked, and reached into the bag and pulled a bottle out, "Yup."

"And the condiments for the baked potatoes?" she asked.

"Uh…I just took all of them," Mikey shrugged.

'Er eyes went wide.

"Uh, Tara, babe?"

"I'M IN STEAK HEAVEN!"

I stared at the slab of meat that sat right in front of me; I glanced at Mikey who was starin' longingly at the pizzas on the counter.

What a baby.

"What the heck is this stuff?" I asked.

"Steak," Tara stated, takin' a plastic knife and cuttin' into it, "Ooo, they made this one nice and tender!"

"Guys don't knock it til ya try it," April grinned.

I sighed, glancing at Mikey who was the first one of us to pick up his plastic fork and knife, and copied Tara's motions. He took a bite, chewing it with a curious look on his face.

He swallowed.

"Hey, this stuff ain't that bad!" he grinned, "Though it could never beat pizza."

"Try it with steak sauce," Tara flashed a grin, and held out the bottle from earlier.

He grabbed it, and looked it over.

I watched as Don, shrugged cutting into the slab of meat before takin' a bite.

"You're right this is good."

Leo tried a piece, and he gave Tara a short nod of thanks, before eating more.

I sighed.

I might as well get this over with. I cut a small piece, watchin' as the juices were brought up slightly to the surface as I cut.

I can't believe we neva had steak before.

I brought the cut to my mouth, and glanced at Mikey who nearly brought the entire thing of his steak, that was covered in steak sauce in his mouth at one time. I admit that was pretty funny.

I took a bite of the little piece on my fork, and my eyes widened. The burned in meaty flavor, the juices, and the fat brought in a whole new definition of good.

Crud, this stuff is better then any pizza I tasted.

-One Hour Later/Tara's POV-

Let's just say, the steak was a big hit. Raph seems to be very happy about it, I mean he and I finished off the rest of the steaks together while the others switched to pizza.

Wimps, they can't face the awesome power of, STEAK SAUCE! Though I did see Mikey dip his pizza in Steak Sauce…

That was kinda funny.

Hmm…I wonder what's going to happen now.

Why do I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that no good will happen tomorrow?

PLEASE R&R!

Leo: 493

Mikey: 493

spaztastic reader, that's a bit extreme for the review thing, and I'm sorry to sound mean, so I just counted it as one vote for Mikey. Are you okay with it? But anyways, we have another tie, and hopefully soon it will break. But anyways, thankies to all the reviewers, you had made my day when I looked, and saw that I had 200 reviews, and it makes me feel so loved! So I will add a bonus chapter to this after this story is complete that involves a big RaphTara moment, nothing extreme, but it's great all the same, and I'm glad you guys are keeping up with it.

Note: Sorry that I haven't updated, but for an odd reason ff wouldn't let me sign onto my account page, it only allowed me to review and PM people, so I'm terribly sorry for the delay
