I DO NOT OWN TMNT! If you don't like DonXApril, then go away! Sorry for spelling errors!
Silence dominated the streets of New York, it was night, no animals, or humans were outside. Not even the Purple Dragons. The only noise you could hear was the rain. It was a silent summer storm. The drops of rain drenched everything, inflirtated into the sewers, into water collectors, forming large swirling vortexes.
The turtles lair was silent too. Leonardo was meditating in a separate corner, in the company of Master Splinter. Raphael was upstairs in the garage with Casey, they were working on the Shell Cycle. Michelangelo was sitting on the couch, watching tv and eating chips. Sometimes he changed the channels, a lots of them weren't working because of the storm. Donatello was in front of his computer, with headphones on his head and he kept typing. One of his fingers was tied, sometimes he hissed, when he forgot about it and pressed a button with his hurt finger. He cutted it that very day, when he wanted to weld a metal plate.
Mikey yawned, he was bored. He threw away the empty bag of chips, then turned around, he was looking for some fun.
Master Splinter was sitting in Turkish style, and talking with his eyes closed:
-Concentrate Leonardo, let your mind and spirit to be free, don't think…
Leonardo was sitting next to him, in the same pose.
-Yes sensei.-answered Leo.
Mikey yawned again, and decided that he does not want to join them. He didn't like meditations, always something else distracted his attention, and then everyone was mad at him. So he turned towards Donny, with a nasty smile, he decided to go and bother his brother. Jumping over the couch, he slinked next to Donny.
-Whatcha doin' Donny?-he asked and leaned closer to the screen.
-I'm talking with April.- said Donny, and typed in another answer.
Mikey, with his eyebrows raised, read the conversation between Don and April, but so far, he didn't understand too much from it. It was all technical words and program descriptions.
-Booooring…-said Mikey with a bored face, and he put one of his elbows on the top of Donny's chair.
-It's not boring Mikey, it's just that you simply don't understand it.-
-Yeah…so?-
-Ah, okay. But I'm only gonna explain it once, so pay attention.-turned Donny with his chair, to face Mikey.
Mikey nodded, Donny began to explain, while he occasionally glanced at the screen, waiting for April's responses. Mikey tried to follow Donny's explanation for a while, but somewhere in the halfway he stoped, and continued nodding, smiling.
Donny kept explaining and pointing with his fingers, but later, he saw Mikey's grinning face.
-Ammm…Earth to Mikey?-
Mikey was still smiling and nodding. Don sighed.
-You didn't understand anything, right?-
Mikey smiled. Don rolled his eyes, and sighed again.
-I thought so…-
-Okay, okay! I did understand, that you´re helping April with some kind of computer protecting system.-
-That's something…-said Donny and turned back to his computer. But the messenger said that April is offline. Don blinked in surprise. –What happened?-asked Don himself, seeing, that April has logged off, without saying farewell. Mikey saw Don's frightened face.
-What's the problem Donny?-
-April…-
-What's with her? She doesn't understand your explanation either?-
-No, she just logged off, without saying anything.-
-Maybe, she just had to do something.-shrugged Mikey.
-Something? She never "breakes up" a technical conversation like this.-
-Maybe, she had to do something urgent.-
Donny shook his head, with his eyes still searching the monitor.
-No, it doesn't matter how important duty she has, she never leaves without a "bye".-
-Come on Donny! Sometimes April can have something urgent to do, when she doesn't have time to say "ta-ta".-
Donny, like he didn't even heard what Mikey said, he jumped up from his chair, which overturned. Leonardo and Master Splinter had noticed the noise.
-What if she's hurt?!-Don held his head, frightened, between his hands.
-The only way she could get hurt, is that she falls down with her chair.-Mikey laughed at his own joke.
-This is not funny Mikey!-Don turned towards him angry. –Maybe, she got sick! Or more worse…-but he didn't finish the sentence, he was already running towards his lab, which was furnished in an old metro car, a few feet away from his computer. He searched on the table like a mad man, scattering all kinds of paper and books. Mikey just blinked. While Leo and Master Splinter joined him.
-What is happening Michelangelo?-asked Master Splinter.
-Is Donny okay?-asked Leo.
-Don't know…looks like he has a panic attack.
-He's panicked? What happened?-asked Leo.
-Where is that Shell Cell?!-screamed Don, still throwing his stuff all around.
-Donatello, calm yourself, my son.-said Master Splinter, and he raised one of his hands.
-Ah Donny? Looking for this?-Mikey pointed towards the cell phone on the computer desk.
Donny righ away ran to the phone.
-You can't understand this sensei.-he picked up the phone and dialed already.
At the other end of the line a womens voice answered:
-Donny?-
-April! You're okay!...You're okay?-answered Donny first happy, then with suspicion.
-Of course I'm okay. And you? Are you okay? You sound frightened.-
-Ah sure, I'm okay, I just wanted to be sure if you're okay. –said Donny with a wide smile, as if April was standing right there in front of him.
-Is Donny really okay?-asked Leo quietly.
-What happened? You just simply logged off from the internet. I thought something bad happened.-explained Don.
-Yes, I know. Sorry, but because of the storm, the internet doesn´t work anymore. Is it working at your place?-
-Hmmm…-Don looked towards his computer.-Nope, now it's not working here either.
-Probably is out in the whole city.-
-Probably a cable or something.-
-Oh well, they'll fix it tomorrow, and then we'll continue our conversation, okay?-asked April, it sounded like she was smiling.
-Yeah, sure.-smiled Donny.-Then tomorrow, bye…-
-Bye Donny, say good night to everyone.-
-Okay, same to you.-
-Thanks, bye.-
-Bye.-Don closed the phone, and with a big sigh he fell on his chair, holding his head, smiling, but then he noticed, that his brothers were staring at him, with surprised faces, only Master Splinter was smiling.
-What?-asked Donny.
-What the shell was all that about?-asked Mikey.
-Oh, umm, uh…well…the internet is gone.-said Donny and smiled stupidly.
Leonardo wanted to ask something, but Master Splinter put one hand on his shoulder.
-Come my son, let us continue our meditation. Leave Donatello to work.-
Both of them walked back away, only Mikey remained there, still with a confused look.
-What do you say Mikey, if I burn you that CD you wanted?-asked Don, but he didn't look at Mikey, he was staring at the computer screen.
-Uhm, sure, okay.-said Mikey, then he left Donny, and returned to watch tv.
About two hours have passed. Mikey was snoring in front of the tv, Leo and Master Splinter where long gone in the land of dreams. Donny yawned, and shut down his computer. He walked to his lab, and sat down, then he picked up a notebook and opened it. With his head resting on one of his hands, he read for a little while, then yawned again.
-Tomorrow…-said it tired and closed the notebook. He got up from the chair and stretched.
-Hey Mikey!-exclaimed towards the couch. No answer came, therefore she shouted again: -Mikey!
A snort came, then Mikey's head appeared, rubbing his sleepy eyes with his hands.
-I burned that CD you wanted, it's there over the lab table!-he pointed the direction.
-Okay, thanks.-answered Mikey and yawned a big one.
Donny didn't reply, he walked into his bedroom, soon he was sleeping quietly.
Mikey watched tv a little more, than turned it off and walked towards his bedroom, but he remembered the CD. He turned around and walked into Donny's lab. He found the CD, it was there on the table, next to a purple notebook. Mikey didn't know why, but that notebook caught his attention. It's probably just another, simple, boring, notebook, but then what is this strange feeling? It's like the notebook is attracting him, it's like he's talking: "Open me Michelangelo! You know, you want to…"
Mikey looked around, then shrugged and took the notebook. He opened it, but quickly closed it. He had a frightened face. Now he touched something, he shouldn't have, or at least it wasn't a nice thing to do. I should put it back and forget all about it.-thought Mikey, but in the end he didn't brought himself to do so. Instead he walked quickly to his bedroom, sat on his bed and opened the notebook. He was staring at the first page. "Donatello's Diary", this was written with big letters on the first page. I'm only going to read a little, then put it back to the table…-thought Mikey, and turned to the next page. Mikey was continuously turning the pages, a bunch of calculations, ideas and mathematical formulas army filled the pages. There was little to "understand" speech, but there where a few registries, which were pretty much interesting…
Review please! Thank you!
