In the end, there will be loss. In the end, there will be sorrow. In the end, everything will be gone and there will be nothing to remember anyone or anything that ever swam, walked, laughed, loved, lived, or died on this insignificant little planet.

But we can sure as hell hope that the end won't come, because, let's face it, it probably won't during any of our lifetimes, or our children's lifetimes, or their children's. So we try and live our lives and put aside the fact that whatever we do, whoever we are, we will not be remembered forever.

And then there are those who brighten others' lives without knowing it; day by day, bringing light and happiness to those around them. The hopefuls, who don't care whether they're remembered, or liked at all, who are just trying to be happy and keep even strangers happy too, if only for a short while.

One of these is April O'Neil, an Irish-Polish with a kidnapped scientist for a dad, and a turtle for a best friend.
