Talking To Myself: Apritello Confessions

April:

I sat down at the kitchen table, doing my history homework. We had just started to study the renaissance period. We all were assigned an artist to write an essay on. I had been assigned Donatello di Niccolò di Betto Bardi.

(Wow, what a coincidence! Hint of sarcasm)

As I researched the sculptor, I thought aloud about Donnie. Not the sculptor, but the turtle...

"Donatello is the most amazing turtle.

If only he were human, then we could be together."

Donatello:

I was in my lab, working on a retro mutagen as I spoke with Timothy.

"April...is...nice." Timothy said.

"Yeah, that doesn't even start to describe her.

April is so...cool and persistent.

If only she felt the same way about me as I felt about her."

April:

"Donnie has always been there for me, he always had my back.

He saved me constantly.

What have I ever done for him?"

Donatello:

"April is tough.

She can hold her own.

She speaks freely.

Why can't I?"

Timothy understood. He always did.

April:

"Donnie is so logical and smart.

He works hard.

He was always there."

Donatello:

"April is perfect.

She's beautiful.

She's stubborn."

April:

"Donnie never gives up.

He never gave up on me.

Even after I gave up on him"

Donatello:

"I will never lose hope.

I may still have a chance.

Maybe if I gave her something and just...asked.

Would that be weird?"

Timothy said nothing.

I was pretty hungry, and Timothy probably was too, so I decided to get some food.

I walked out of the lab.

April:

"I have broken his heart countless times.

I have never done anything special for him.

I just...pushed him away.

Against my own will."

Donatello:

"What could I get her?

Something special.

Something beautiful.

Like her."

April:

"Donnie deserved better.

He deserved more.

Could I ask him out?

This was so...complicated."

Donatello:

"I would give her the gift.

I would smile.

I would ask her..."

I walked into the kitchen.

April:

"I need to tell him the truth.

I couldn't hold back anymore.

I would ask him..."

I stood up.

"Will you go out with me?" We said at the same time.

We both blushed and looked away.

Donatello:

My heart almost stopped.

Had she really loved me all this time?

April:

I couldn't breathe.

Maybe we were meant for each other.

"Yes." We both said.

We knew it was the right choice.

We knew love was blind.

"Aw..." Said Leo, Raph, and Mikey.

Of course they heard the whole thing.

We both blushed and laughed nervously.

Donatello:

I held out my hand to her.

She took it, and we went uptop.

Together.

A Note: Sorry, I just had to get that out of my system.

Don't be haters : )
