Prompt #1

So, I'm doing another set of prompts! (and 2 Secret Santas) (and I did the Turtley Christmas Countdown), and they'll be by day again, so... enjoy! :D

Dec 14th - Movies

Leo groaned, rolling over in his bed as his phone went off. He looked at his clock; it was 2 AM! What could possibly be the reason for his phone to be going off?

He grabbed it, groping around his bedside table to find it, and held it up to his face, blinking blearily as the light assaulted his corneas.

It was a call from April.

"Y-Yeah?" he asked, putting the phone up to his ear and waiting for a response.

"Hi, Leo. I'm really sorry for waking you up like this, but… can you come over?" April's familiar voice asked from the other side of the line.

"Um, yeah. Gimme like 20 minutes to get 'freshened up' so I don't stink up your apartment."

"Thanks, Leo. Really. I'll explain when you get here."

April hung up and Leo got his gear on quickly, going to the bathroom for a quick shower and brushing of his teeth, and then stealthily he made his way out of the Lair.

Leo arrived at April's apartment, yawning once before climbing in through the window, which April had left open for him.

He took off his coat and hat quietly; it was really cold out, even for December in New York City.

"Leo! Thank you so much for coming!" April exclaimed, turning on a lamp. As she walked back to where she'd been, she tripped over something.

Leo caught her gracefully, smirking at her flustered expression. He pulled her up, bringing their noses together, and April pecked him in the cheek before going back down, going through the mess she'd made.

Leo leaned down, helping her pick up the offending objects, which were… DVD cases?

"April?" he asked curiously, holding up How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the Jim Carrey version.

"Our Christmas party is tonight and I don't have anything ready!" April wailed, a genuinely sad expression on her face. "It's you guys' first Christmas out of the sewers without the Kraang invading or the Earth destroyed or something, and I want it to be perfect, and I don't even have the freaking movies ready!"

"Hey, hey, easy…" Leo cooed, pulling her to his chest, letting her lean her head on his plastron as her shoulders shook gently. "It's OK. We'll figure everything out quick enough. OK?"

April nodded, pulling away and using her robe sleeve to wipe her snot off his plastron, making him groan in disgust.

"Alright, let's see what we have here," Leo said, looking through a few DVDs. "How about the Grinch, obviously," he requested, holding up the same DVD as before.

April nodded in agreement. That had been an all-time favorite to all of the turtles as children, along with April and Casey, coincidentally.

"And the old one, too."

April picked up another DVD. "The Nightmare Before Christmas, definitely."

"One more? Christmas with the Kranks. That's a good one."

April nodded, picking up the selected movies as Leo put the rest away.

"Thanks Leo. Now, we still have a lot of work ahead of us, so let's get to it!"

Leo groaned good-naturedly.

#1 done! 11 to go! ;) Review, please!
