Summary: Raph wonders why April never wears red anymore when she is doing a news report. Raph/April suggestive. Set after the first movie.
After defeating the Shredder, things soon returned to normal. The brothers had settled back into their normal routine. When they would gather around the television to watch April on the news, they began to notice a pattern. She had made a point to always wear blue, purple orange, or green. She never wore red anymore, even though she'd worn it often before getting to know the turtles. Taking offense at her omission, Raphael questioned April about it.
"I still wear red, everyday in fact…just not in plain sight," she said with a wink. Raphael was speechless, but not quite displeased.
