Okay, I've gotten several requests for this book. Thanks to everyone who reads my series! Oh, and please review!
Donnie's POV:
I sighed. It was Valentine's day again, and I still haven't told April I like her.
Miwa walked into my lab. "Hey, Donnie."
"Hey, Miwa. What's up?"
"Oh, nothing. My husband just picked something up on his T-phone I thought you might be interested in." Yeah, Miwa and Leo got married last month.
I looked at her curiously as she pulled out her T-phone, and played a recording.
Miwa: Hey, April, can I ask you a question?
April: Sure! What's up?
Miwa: Which of the turtles do you like?
My eyes widened. What?
April: Like...how?
Miwa: Y'know. LIIIIKE.
April: Oh...um...n-none of them...
Miwa: Your face totally says you're lying. Come on, you can tell me!
April: *sighs* If I have to choose one, I'd say...
My heart pumped super-fast. She likes one of us?! Is it, dare I ask-
April: Donatello. He's pretty cute.
I swear, my heart stopped for a minute. She likes me?!
Miwa: Really? Why?
April: He's smart, and really sweet, and he's such a gentleman, and- *giggles* -it's really funny when he gets all flustered.
I blushed.
Miwa: So then, why haven't you told him yet?
April: Are you crazy?! I can't tell him!
I frowned.
Miwa: Why not?
April: Because...because he's a mutant turtle scientist. It's not like he could have feelings for me. I'd get in the way.
My eyes widened as the recording ended. She thinks that? I looked at Miwa in shock. "H-how..."
She smirked. "Sometimes it takes a girl to get to a girl. Now, it just so happens that miss O'Neil does not have a Valentine's date. And you, Mr. Donatello, are going to fix that."
I blinked. "Say what now?"
Miwa held up her finger. "Stay. RIGHT. HERE."
Miwa's POV:
I ran to the kitchen and over to the fridge. I looked inside. "Yes! Still here!" I grabbed the box of chocolates and took them over to Donnie's lab, along with a bouquet of tiger lilies I had left on the counter. Thankfully, April was at her new job as a news reporter.
I walked in and handed them to the purple-banded turtle. "Here you go. These are for you to give to April."
"About that..." Donnie said nervously. "I-I don't think I can."
"You can, and you will. You'd make her day if you did this. You'd be her hero."
"But-"
"Who likes April?" I said, cutting him off.
He blushed. "M-me."
"Who does April like?"
"Me." He said a bit more confidently.
"And who's going to be her hero and save the day?"
"Me!"
Just then, we heard April's voice from the living room. "Hey guys! I'm back!"
I smiled at Donnie. "Go get her, tiger!"
"But, what do I say?"
"You'll know. It comes from the heart."
He smiled at me, and left the room. Leo and Raph stepped out of the shadows. Raph was in shock. "I can't believe you just did that!"
I raised an eyebrow and put my hands on my hips. "Did what?"
"We've been trying to make that geek ask her out for years, and then you just-" He waved his hands. "POOF!"
Leo smiled. "I told you not to underestimate my wife. She could make you think Spike was a girl if she wanted to."
Raph looked at me horrified, and the two of us burst out laughing.
Donnie's POV:
I looked around nervously for April. Mikey and Heather were sitting on the couch, playing Spear Girl, multiplayer mode, but April was nowhere to be seen. Maybe the kitchen?
I cautiously peered into the kitchen. Sure enough, April was sitting at the counter. I gulped. Oh, geez, I don't know if I can do this! But I gotta. I am going to be her hero. She will NOT have a ruined day because of my cowardice! I hid the tiger lilies and the chocolates behind my back (sometimes it pays to have a shell. No one can see what you have in your hands), and walked in. "Hey, April."
She looked up at me and smiled. "Oh! Hey Donnie! What's up?"
Icebreaker first. "Um, I just wanted to ask you how your day was."
April sighed. "A bit boring. The story I got assigned was just a Purple Dragon robbery. You have a nice day?"
I just found out my crush likes me! Of course! "Eh, you know, same old stuff. Do some experiments, fix some T-phones, change the lightbulbs...you know how it is."
She laughed. "Yeah, I hear you. So, what's up?"
I gotta ask her if she's free tonight. "Hey...um, by any chance do you have plans for tonight?"
April blinked. "No. Why?"
Here we go... "Well, I was, um, hoping..." I felt my cheeks heat up. "That maybe you might want some company? Y'know, tonight, there's a really cool movie playing at Cinema 11. Captain America. Y-you wanna watch it with me?"
April smiled. "Of course! I've been wanting to see that movie for ages! Thanks, Donnie!"
"One more thing."
She looked up at me. I took a deep breath, and handed her the chocolates and flowers. I smiled as her face lit up. "These are for you. I-I thought you might like them.
She set them on the counter and hugged me. "Thank you, Donnie!" She let me go and ran off. "I gotta get ready! Bye!" She called back.
I felt a hand on my shoulder, and turned around to see my little brother smiling at me. "Well played, bro." Mikey said. "Well played."
