Big Trouble Part 2

AN: I know I said this was just a going to be a one shot, but the reviews I got for another chapter just made me feel guilty. So here's the second chapter hope you enjoy it!

Brown eyes stared right back at him through the cracked mirror. Poking his tongue out of the corner of his mouth; Donnie concentrated on tying his red bow tie.

How Master Splinter managed to get this suit from the sewers he'll never know. After minutes of endless battle with the blasted fabric, the purpled banded turtle came victorious with a slightly crooked tie. Oh well it'll have to do; maybe April would help him with it?

The thought made his heart jump. He still felt it was but a dream. His crush, April O'Neil, asked him to Prom? Donnie was sure he died and went to heaven. That or it was all a sad dream his brain would come up with during sleep. Either way he was not about to let it slip from his grasp; no not by a long shot.

"Donatello, are you ready?" Master Splinter's aged voice called from outside his door. The ninja turtle took a deep breath before calling out in reply. "Yes, Sensei, I am."

The door opened with a small amount of hesitation revealing a very proud mutated rat in a Japanese robe.

Splinter felt his eyes widen at the sight of his adopted son, standing in full view in a tuxedo. He almost looked like a man about to be wed. Splinter shooed those thoughts away, his son was too young for that, but the former-human wished that it would be possible for his sons to find good wives.

"My son," Splinter spoke softly, voice dripping with pride "Are you ready?"

Donnie nodded, "Yes, Sensei, I'm just a little nervous." Splinter nodded in understanding, but immediately remembered what he had come here for. Reaching into his robes, the aged rat pulled out a beautiful dusty purple Lilly. It's peddles curled outward revealing the narrow base filled with violet stamens.

Donnie's fudge orbs widen in shock, "M-Master Splinter, where …did you get that?"

Splinter chuckled at his son's reaction, he was expecting that. "I found it last night, after you and your brothers came back from patrol. I'm sure April will appreciate this gift from you."

"F-From me?" Donnie squeaked his face flushed at the sudden proposal. Splinter nodded, "Yes, it's tradition for the man to give his date a flower. Unless you two are only friends, then I'll just-"

"No-um… I mean yes, of course, Sensei, I'll give it to her. Thank you."

Splinter smiled and handed his son the Lilium. He sense in the Universe that his son was going to have a fantastic night.

April's heart pounded in an unsteady beat. Her palms were covered in a nervous coat of sweat. She felt silly in this dress. Looking down at her gown, April immediately felt the lack of confidence in her. Her dress was just above her ankles giving her the ability to move without tripping, but it showed off her kankles! The dress was too tight it'll rip up. Her hair needed more hair spray, spit curls were popping out.

Oh, no what if she needed to the bathroom, would her dress get caught in the toilet? What if she gets toilet paper stuck to it?

Out of habit April sucked in her bottom lip and nibbled the ruby red flesh. Her stomach had butterflies fluttering around in a frenzy. Why was she so nervous? Maybe it was because she was going to Prom with her best friend? Wait where was he? What if he felt ashamed? Friends couldn't go with friends to Prom! Right?

April jumped when something gripped her shoulder. Twisting around she was met face to face the all too familiar gap-tooth shy grin of said ninja turtle.

"Donnie," she breathed taking in his new features. She was use to seeing the turtles wearing just their signature masks. Their shells often hid the unmentionable parts.

But now as she looked at him in a midnight tuxedo with a complimentary red tie; April couldn't' help but wonder why she hadn't asked him sooner. He was beyond handsome. Heck he was hot!

The teen pushed those thoughts away, this was her friend. Best friend, she couldn't think like that.

"Wow, April" Donnie spoke in awe. He had never thought she could get any more beautiful. "You look pretty."

Donnie tensed at his own words. What the heck! Did he just say that? April wasn't pretty, she was beautiful. Gorgeous! A goddess if anything! And that's all he said? Donnie wanted to hit his head against something if it'll knock some more sense into him.

April smiled shyly at the compliment. Yes they were just friends. "Thanks, Donnie. You look good yourself."

Good? He was hot! Not good. If April didn't have any self respect she would have jumped the turtle!

Wait what? Her eyes widen at the thought. She shouldn't even be thinking about that stuff, especially about Donnie! April could only imagine his reaction if he even got a whiff of what she was thinking.

The awkward silence went on for another minute. Each thinking of their own personal wishes for the other. Finally Donatello decided they should hurry. If the doors close, there was no other way of getting in.

Holding out his hand to April, the turtle spoke. "Maybe we should go inside; don't want to miss the once in a lifetime dance. Do we?"

The red head snapped out of her train of thought and nodded. "N-no we don't." And with that she rested her hand inside his much larger one. Jolts of electricity rushed up their arms, hearts pounding at an unnatural rate.

Donnie let April through the doors, paying their fee. Inside the school's gym; the room was filled with streamers arching downward from the ceiling. Balloons floating around the air, some tied the corners of the white covered tables.

A strobe light hung in the middle of the room, flashing colorful lights of: Red, Blue, Green, and every other color of the rainbow.

Men and women were dressed in their respective order of dress and tux, except with a little taste of Halloween. People dressed in their favorite costumes. And April and Donnie were no exceptions.

April only had on a painted face of a black feline. Her hair tied up into a swirled bun with a pair of cat ears perking in front of it. Her strap on tail fell from beneath the hem of the dress allowing it trail behind her.

The duo stood near the wall watching as everyone danced to the blasting music from the speakers above. Letting loose what they had and not caring about the world around them.

Donnie wanted to do that but he wasn't too great with his feet unless it consisted of fighting. Looking over at April he could tell she felt the same; just a little more shyer then him.

She was the girl no one noticed, up until now when she was in full bloom.

Bloom? Bloom! His flower!

Slapping a hand over his face, Donnie desperately searched for the flower hidden in his pockets.

"Um..h-here, April, I uh…got this for you to look beautiful in. No! What I mean is I got this so you would like me. No! I was referring to-uh…"

April stared blankly at him trying to figure out what he was blabbering about, until she noticed the beautiful flower in his palm. Her eyes widen in shock before a beloved smile spread across her face.

"Oh, Don, thank you!" She whispered with glee taking the offering plant from the flustered ninja. Carefully she fixed it on her strap for all to see.

"How does it look?" Donatello was lost of words. She looked like an angel that just came out of heaven. He swallowed the lump in his burning throat, struggling to say something, that wasn't stupid.

"Y-you could not be more beautiful…" He breathed out eyes glowing with honestly. April felt her heart swell in delight, before locking her arms around his neck in a warm hug.

Taken back Donatello was shocked at April's sudden reaction, but didn't hesitate to return the hug.

The music suddenly shifted into a softer more smother tone.

"Alright everyone; take your date to the dance floor. This is 'Rocket Love.'" The smooth DJ spoke huskily into the microphone.

The interspecies couple pulled away from their hug. Cheeks a whole new color of red, their eyes locked, silently asking the other for permission.

"Do you want to dance?" April asked, she was honestly scared to ask, but it seemed like he wanted too. Don didn't answer vocally. His tongue was tied. Instead he nodded his head vigorously as a 'yes' before leading her to their spot under the multi-colored lights.

He was tense. She was nervous. Never before had either of them danced. Donatello had seen people slow dance before in movies, but now he realized why it was so hard. His feet were huge; he could easily step on April's toes by mistake.

April realizing her friend's fear, and gently wrapped her arms around his neck once again, then pressed herself closer. Taking his hand she allowed them to rest on her hips, giving the mutant a comforting smile.

"It's ok." She whispered reassuringly "Just relax and sway from side to side." He nodded, and bit back a gasp when she rested her head against his shoulder. Her warm breath tickled his neck, setting off goose bumps.

Taking a deep breath Donatello relaxed and tried not worry.

They swayed to the music like this for what seemed like hours. Keeping each other as close as possible; it was a dream made into reality for the both of them.

The music was coming to an end, the beat growing slower, the singer growing softer and softer. As this happened Donnie and April prepared to separate from the embrace; accidentally locking their eyes.

Brown met blue in collision of harmony and passion.

Slowly their faces grew closer, eyes growing heavier and hearts pounded harder. Until their lips locked together; molding perfectly.

The two of them now knew the meaning of the words 'True love's first kiss.' It was magical.

AN: Yes, yes. I know epic fluffiness. You know what sue me I actually liked it. XP I'm pretty proud of myself for this piece of work. I know there are a lot of error mistakes, but in my defense I was in the moment and wouldn't stop writing out of fear of losing the zing XD.
