Hey guys! I'm baaaack! Miss me? Well, I've got the Apritello story for you, the sequel, as promised! Enjoy the first chapter! (A hint: Valentine's Day+D+A=Love!) :) Enjoy!
Chapter 1
It had been six months since Donatello had been reunited with April on her sixteenth birthday, and now the whole turtle family was friends with her. Donnie and April had decided to chose to actually become boyfriend and girlfriend, a decision that had changed both their was close to Valentine's Day, and Donatello wondered what he should do for April. He asked his brothers for advice.
"Get her a video game," Michelangelo said, keeping his eyes glued to the tv screen. "I like them, so I bet she does too."
April isn't into gaming. Donnie thought. I know! I'll ask Raph! He approached his green-eyed brother, who was in the kitchen feeding his pet turtle, Spike. Donatello knew that Raph had better sense than Mikey. He repeated his question to Raph, who did in fact know what human boys gave their girlfriends.
"Get her a card and a box of fancy chocolates. Human girls love getting those for Valentine's Day." Raph said, stroking Spike's head. That still doesn't seem right. Donatello thought. I want to do something special for April, not something general like a card and some chocolates. He decided to ask his oldest brother, Leonardo, but Leo said the same thing as Raph. Donatello finally decided to ask Master Splinter. He had been human once, so he probably knew something unique to give a girl on Valentine's Day. He knocked on Splinter's door softly.
"Come in, my son." Splinter said. Donatello tentatively crossed the threshold of his Sensei's room. Splinter had his back to Donatello, sitting Indian Style on the floor. "Hello, Donatello." Splinter said without turning around.
"I'm sorry, Sensei," Donatello said, apologizing. "I didn't realize you were meditating."
"No matter." Splinter said. "Come, Donatello. Meditate with me and tell me what troubles you." Donatello heeded his Sensei and sat beside him. "What troubles you, my son?" Splinter asked.
"I do not know what I should get April for Valentine's Day, Sensei. I don't want to get her a card and a box of chocolates, I want to do something special for her. Since you were human once, I was just wondering if there was another object that stands for true love?" Donatello asked.
Splinter stroked his long, thin beard thoughtfully. "There is one thing." he replied.
"What is it, Sensei?" Donatello asked, eager to know.
"A single red rose, perfect in every way. This conveys a man's love for his beloved." Splinter replied.
"Thank you, Sensei." Donatello said, racing out the door.
"Teenagers." Splinter muttered to himself amiably.
