I've had this story in my head for a long time. It's very different from what I ever planned on writing. But this story just wouldn't go away! I really wanted to write this!

So the girl in this story is a version of Angel. I don't care for using OC's so I decided to use Angel. I always liked her in the show. I think she would have liked the 2012 Mikey. Plus all the different art and stories about them online are very cute. Everyone should check them out.

Each chapter in this story will be from a different P.O.V. Mainly Donnie's or Mikey's. Some chapters will be long and others short. That's just how I want to organize this story.

This whole thing may be a little different than what your expecting, but hopefully that's what makes it fun!

Alright let's begin!

-Based on the 2012 series from which I own nothing-


An Angel for Mikey

*Mikey P.O.V.*

Just forget about it!

I have the perfect strategy.

I'll just play this advanced monster card on top of my existing monster card. And that'll add two more sword symbols to my placement. Which will attract all the warriors of the village to me, then I'll kill them with these trap cards and gain their points. This plan is the best, nothing can beat it, I'm so going to wi-

"No Mikey, that's an illegal action," Donnie the whiney tells me.

I frown at him.

What does he mean that that's not allowed? I made sure not to play my advanced card until after I played my lower level cards. Just like in the rules.

Raph the fat snorts fanning out the cards in his hands again, as if he hasn't looked at them enough. "Donnie, just say that it's against the rules like everybody else."

"What's against the rules?" I ask glaring accusingly across the kitchen table at my two brothers.

"Oh, what you're doing right now is fine Mikey. But you have six cards laid out to build your dungeon. You aren't supposed to have that many out. You're going to have to remove one," Donnie answers.

"What!" I shout, "Why didn't you tell me that on my last turn when I laid the extra card down?"

Leo the weirdo finally looks up from where he was busy organizing the cards he plans on using for the next two or three turns, "That's because Donnie wasn't paying attention. Were you Donnie?"

"W-well I," stutters Donnie rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

What does he have to be nervous about?

Apparently his reaction perks Raph's interests because he says, "Yeah Donnie, why weren't you paying attention? If it's you it can only be one of two things. Either it's something sciencey, which means it's no fun at all. Or it's about April."

Oh! April, ok I get it now.

"Oh oh D it's totally about April isn't it. Are you texting her under the table? Are you daydreaming about her? In your daydream are you two underneath the stars while she is dressed as a cowgirl and is singing the opening song to-"

"Mikey!" Donnie squeaks in fury.

I knew that cowgirl thing was right!

"Look guys it's not April ok. I've uh, pretty much gotten over her. She's with Casey now. And I accept that," Donnie sums up.

Leo frowns worriedly at Donnie, "Donnie it's only been two months since they got together. It's ok if you're not entirely over it yet."

Aw D looks a little touched.

"Speak for yourself Leo. Watching Donnie mop around the lair was just sad," Raph says completely ruining the moment.

"He wasn't that bad Raph," I add in trying to give my poor heartbroken brother some credit. "In fact it's been cool! D has spent way more time with me than he usually does. I'm diggin' the attention. He even let me help with his experiment last Tuesday! How awesome is that?"

"Ok, let's not talk as if I'm not here and just finish the game," Donnie grumbles not looking very appreciative at all.

"Sounds good to me," says Raph, "I'm about to win anyways."

What?

"Uh, dude," I say looking at Raph, "did you not see the card I just played. You have no chance bro! I got swords everywhere. And look at all those warriors in the town. They are about to be mine!"

D nods in agreement studying my new card. "He's right Raph. That is a good card. And it has three death points. Unless you have some trap cards to counteract Mikey's trap cards that he must surely have in his hands, he's going to kill all the warriors and win the game."

"Donnie!" Leo shouts covering one of his face down pile of cards with his hand, "We don't need possible play by plays of the game."

Oh no, Leo has trap cards to reverse my trap cards!

No, no its ok, maybe Leo will just go after Raph. Leo usually likes to target Raph in these games.

…Or maybe that's what Leo was going to do until Donnie here opened his big mouth! Ugh, I'm so dead!

*Ding-ding-dingaling-ding-ding-dingaling*

Oh pretty song.

"What is that?" asks Raph pausing midplacement of some useless unholy room card.

"Uh, it's music Raph," I answer trying not to laugh at my poor bros lack of advanced cards.

Raph is never going to win.

Raph growls at me for some reason. Not that it was very intimidating with that pretty music still playing. It sounds like something a ballerina would dance to. I would know, April showed me a video online the other day with all kinds of different dancers on it. Most of them were young girls, but they were still really good dancers. She said it was a video from Casey's little sisters dance recital. Apparently she is a tap dancer. I got to see her tap dance to some upbeat old western song. And she was really good! She had long dark hair like Casey's. Although hers seem more like a dark brown. Her hair was braided into two braids that hopped about her shoulders while she danced. She had a thin frame and really, really pale skin. But between her dark hair and the dark brown cowgirl outfit she was wearing. Her white skin looked like it was glowing under the spotlight.

Ok, now I know why I have cowgirls on my mind.

"It's my phone," Donnie whispers, a small blush forming on his cheeks. "I happen to like classical music once in a while."

"Is it April?" Leo asks. You would think that was an innocent question. But I could feel the tension, and well, accusation in Leo's tone.

Maybe he wants Donnie to get over this more than he thinks.

Donnie doesn't answer. Instead he just walks away from us with his shoulders slightly dropping. He answers his phone with a happy sounding hello. But it's easy to tell from his body language that he isn't really happy.

"Not cool bros," I say leaning back on my stool and crossing my arms in my best pouting posture.

"Ah whatever, the sooner he gets over it the better," Raph grumbles. But he doesn't speak very loud so I know he doesn't really mean it.

"What did I do?" asks Leo.

Raph perks up again rolling his eyes at Leo, "What didn't you do?"

Ack, I don't want them to start fighting, time to say my piece. "Listen my bros. D's may have been sad for a little while after April got with Casey. But if you two haven't noticed he's actually been really happy lately. And as the expert on happiness here I know he hasn't been faking it. He's doing really good guys. He's spending time with us, his family. He's focusing during practice. And he's been doing more experiments for himself. Experiments that really do nothing for anyone but let him have fun. That's something Donnie hasn't been able to do since the day we met April. He's been doing everything right to get over her and become a better person. So I for one don't appreciate it that you two can't seem to realize that."

Raph and Leo don't say anything for a moment. But ofcourse Raph has an argument to my flawless speech. "Hey you just teased him about her. Don't act like you're so innocent."

I sigh leaning forward again to blindly study my cards, "It's not what you think bros. I'm just really into cowgirls lately."

I wasn't sure if my brothers were going to be able to follow my train of thought. They often had a hard time keeping up. And from Raph's confused face I think I just lost him.

Leo snorts something close to a laugh and picks up all his different mini stacks of cards ruining his impressive organization, "Just don't let Casey hear you say that."

Wowwie, looks like Leo got it. Oh yeah he watched the dance recital to.

Leo smiles at me for just a moment, probably in gratitude for putting that still confused expression on Raph's face. But then that smile is gone and Leo looks past me towards the oncoming footsteps behind me.

He's looking at Donnie. Who else would it be? I turn my stool around joining Leo to stare creepily at D as he makes his way around the couch and back towards our kitchen table. He stops a bit a ways from us, looking like a ball of contained nerves.

"Ok so that was April," Donnie spits out tensing his body. He's obviously waiting for some sort of comment from one of us.

Aw my poor little sensitive bro.

But luckily not even Raph says a word. My little speech earlier must have worked after all!

Donnie grins, looking much more confident now that no one took the perfect excuse to mess with him, and continues on, "Yeah so anyways she called because she got Gun Fight Mania version 5 in the mail. I ordered it online a couple days ago and it's finally here!"

No way.

"NO WAY Gun Fight Mania five!? I've been waiting forever!" I shout jumping up till I'm standing on top of my stool. I pretend to surf on the thing to contain my excitement.

Not that I will be contained! I love Gun Fight Mania!

"That's awesome Donnie," shouts Raph jumping up to fist bump Donnie. He loves that game almost as much as me. I suspect it's all the violence.

Leo hops out of his stool as well making his way towards the other two and completely ignoring my one legged balancing act on my own stool. "What are we waiting for?" Leo asks us, "It's basically dark out, let's go get that game!"

Leo's just pumped because even though he didn't play Gun Fight Mania four as much as Raph or I he still got the top score in that game and kicked both of our shells. Well to bad for Leo. I heard that in Gun Mania five they super upgraded the sub machine guns. And I am the boss at them machine guns! Leo's puny little shotguns won't stand a chance, no matter how good his accuracy is!

All four of us race after Leo for the turnstiles leading out into the sewers.

This is going to be fun!
