TMNT: A Closer Bond
It started out like any other normal night, Ralph training on the bag, Leo mediating, Donatello Tinkering with some kind of new invention, and Michelangelo, eating pizza and playing video games.
Then all of a sudden, April O'Neil dropped in, looking for Donnie so that they could build something together, Donnie and April were really starting to connect over this stuff.
"Hey April, lookin' for Donnie?" Mikey asked as he continued playing his game.
"Yeah, is he here?" April asked.
"Yeah, he's in the back working on some new gizmo, have fun." Mikey Replied.
April headed to the back, only to see Donatello messing with a new invention.
"Hey Donnie, whatca doin'?"
"Working on something awesome!"
'Really what is it?" April asked curiously.
"It's a Hypo-Nuclear-Particle-Atomizer-Molecular-Rearrange r!" Donnie said in excitement.
"Ohhhhhhh….Kay. What does it do?"
"I breaks down an organism's molecules, and rearranges them into another figure! Isn't that awesome!?" Donnie told her with joy.
"Yeah, but what are you gonna use it for?"
"Hmm… " Then an Idea popped into Donnie's head, if he put on the Rearranger, he could look like a human, and take April out on a date!
"W-W-W-Well, m-maybe I um… could take you out to-to-to dinner, t-t-tonight, with the particle arranger on. *gulps* Hehe." Donnie was sweating bullets at this point.
"Uhh Sure Donnie, I'd love too.' April said nervously.
"So I'll see you in an hour?"
"Sure thing April, uh, Al's Pizza on 49th Street?" the Reptile asked nervously.
"Of course."
Donnie then went into his room and could only contain his excitement for so long.
"She said YES!" He yelled throughout the lair.
Then Splinter appeared behind him. "Who said yes?"
"Sensei, I asked April out on a date, and she said yes!"
"Donatello, you do you realize that you cannot be seen atop the surface?" Splinter asked.
"Hai Sensei, but I created a… disguise, so no one will recognize me, I'll like a human." Donnie said hopefully.
"Hmm…' Splinter said as he rubbed his beard. "Okay Donatello, but be careful, and if I were you, I'd disguise it as a belt buckle." Splinter said as he left the room.
"Hai Sensei, Thank you."
1 Hour Later.
Don was in disguise as a 15 year old human, with dark purplish-brown hair, a long sleeved purple and black letter jacket, glasses, some blue jeans, and purple Vans. ( I think he likes the color purple) and was sitting in the restaurant waiting for April.
When she got there she looked more beautiful than ever, looking at her through human eyes.
"Hey Donnie." She said to him.
"H-Hi April, you look nice."
April was wearing a light blue shirt that brought out the color of her eyes.
They ate their pizza and were talking to each other, really talking, not just about machines, but about real things, like they're lives, they're family, and each other.
"Well at least you didn't have three other brothers that know Ninjitsu, and all wanna beat you up when you say something completely insane to them, or that their so bored that they actually wasn't to see what you're doing." Donnie said laughing.
"I had 2 little brothers and one little cousin I used to take care of all the time, but being the oldest, I always had to fed them and watch them, at least you didn't have to watch over everybody and play peacemaker." April stated back and chuckled, while Donnie chuckled back.
"Listen April, I had a really great time tonight, I hope I didn't seem too nervous, but I was wondering if I could walk you back to your apartment?"
"Sure Donnie, I'd like that." April assured him.
"Nice night out here, little chilly though." April stated as they walked.
"Here, take my coat, should keep you warm."
"Thanks Donnie"
As Donnie and April turned a corner, they saw three hoods standing 5 feet away from them, ready to mug them.
'Hand over your wallet Pretty boy!" One commanded.
"No way!" Don yelled as he swept the one off his feet.
Another came at Donnie as he dodged the punches and Charge Palmed him to the ground.
The last one reached for a bat and swung down at Donnie's ankle, but it something out of a slow motion action scene from a movie, Donnie jumped into the air over the bat, which only hit April in her ankle as she yelped with the contact.
THWACK! April was on the floor writhing in pain and grasping her ankle.
When Donnie looked over at his love (that's right I went there) rage filled his eyes as he disarmed the thug of his bat, uppercut him off is feet, then gave him a jump kick into a pile of garbage.
As the others ran, the garbage can kid crawled away in agony.
"April, April are you okay?!" Donnie pleaded
But April was crying and holding her ankle, and only managed to squeak out "My Ankle."
"I've gotta get you back to the lair!" Donatello said as he looked at an open manhole cover and picked April up bridal style and jumped in.
He landed on his feet and walked back to the lair.
"How ya holding up April?" Donnie asked nervously.
"My ankle is killing me, please make it stop!" she said as she cried into Donnie's shoulder.
After 10 minutes of walking, Donnie finally approached the lair, and laid April down on a couch and elevated her injured left ankle.
'Hang on April, let me get some supplies." Don said as he ran off to his supply closet.
After retrieving everything he needed, he got back to April, and started fixing her up.
"I'm sorry about tonight April, really, I just wanted it to be a normal date." Donatello said dejectedly.
"It's not your fault Donnie, really, something just came up, that's all." April contemplated him.
"I suppose so... Alright, your ankle is casted and I've got some crutches for you, but why don't you stay here and rest for the night.
"Sure thing Donnie"
"Goodnight April."
"Night, Donnie"
Just as Donatello was exiting the room, April said something to him.
"Donatello?"
"Yeah April?"
"Thanks for tonight, I still had a good time. And thanks for protecting me."
"Don't mention it kid, goodnight April"
Donatello turned out the light and left the room.
"Goodnight Donnie" she whispered to herself.
