KS: Boom, baby! I returned. I saw you liked my drabbles, so I brought a new one. I hate myself right now for adding Capril on this, but I promise it'll be slight Capril, don't hate me, people. This takes place when they're all in the farmhouse. And Venus doesn't appear yet. If something sounds a bit confusing, I'm more than sorry.
Summary: Donnie feels jealous of April and Casey's relationship.
Donnie was sick. Not sick of an illness. Sick of what he was watching.
He was working on a small music box on the couch while April and Casey were in the living room watching TV. But not as friends. The relationship they had then made Donnie sick.
Couple.
Ever since April and Donnie had made up for what had happened to her dad when he mutated into a bat, he had tried his hardest so they could come back as a couple again. But April always said the same:
"Donnie, I still need time to think of it. I know you still love me... but I need time,"
Technically Casey and April weren't a couple. They were only dating. April just wanted to try something different in the meantime they waited for Leo to heal completely from the Invasion. Donnie couldn't take the fact that April wasn't up to be with him, just for a nutcase hocky lover. Casey surrounded April's neck with one arm as they both watched TV. Donnie frowned and stormed out of the living room and out of the house.
"Is Donnie okay?" Melina asked from the individual couch.
"He's probally in a bad mood," Casey comented with a shrug. April looked down sadly. She still loved Donnie, she couldn't deny that. But everytime she had a bad relationship with a boy, she needed time to think. She took a small glance at Donnie's music box. Curiousity loomed over her and she grabbed it. When she opened it, she saddened.
It had a picture of her and Donnie when they shared their first kiss. She couldn't help a tear to fall from her right eye. God she missed Donnie.
Meanwhile, Donnie was resting his shell against a tree with his arms crossed while watching Raph and Mikey wrestle against eachother.
"Hey, Donnie," a voice said. Donnie turned around and saw Leo coming close to him with his crutch and Lotus Blossom next to him.
"Hey, guys," he answered carelessly.
"Are you okay?" his older brother asked. Donnie sighed.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he responded, looking away.
"Did something happen?" Lotus asked concerned. Donnie let out a huff and opened his mouth to answer. When he was about to, a sai came in and nailed against the tree.
"Whoops," Raph said as he walked to the tree and took his sai. "My bad," he lunged for Mikey and attacked him again. Donnie, on the other hand, didn't feel like so well.
"I'll be in the barn if you guys need me," he said and walked to the barn, head dropped. Leo and Lotus looked at him sadly. Seeing Donnie with the mood for the soil wasn't the most pleasent thing in the world.
Especially when it came to love.
Donnie opened the barn doors and saw Chaplin and Kevin working on that old vehicle while Kirby O'Neil kept a lookout on them and Alex was on the driver's seat.
"Come on, you can't be serious," Chaplin said while waxing the car.
"I am," Kevin said while lying on a skateboard and working on the car engine with a wrench. He had taken his jacket and shirt off and only had his white short-sleeved t-shirt.
"Really, how can you say that Shemp in lest funny that Curly?" the red haired boy asked.
"'Cause I watched the Three Stooges ever since I was two; I know their attitudes, and Curly is funnier than Shemp," he said adjusting a nut.
"I don't think I agree,"
"Alex, what do you say?" the black haired boy asked.
The little girl stopped playing with the controls and turned to the teens.
"I say Joe is funnier," she said. Both teens groaned in boredom.
"Joe barely appears, how can you say that?" Kevin asked.
"I just say it," she answered simply and returned to play with the steering wheel.
"What do you say, Mr. O'Neil?" Chaplin asked. Kirby just shruged.
"I never even watched Three Stooges to begin with," Kirby answered.
"Aw, man," Kevin complained when an oil jet stained his t-shirt. He got out of under the car to look for a wipe to clean oil off himself when he saw Donnie standing at the door. "Hey, D, you think you can tell us out of Shemp and Curly who's the best?" Donnie didn't pay attention and walked to his lab station to keep on his retro-mutagen experiment.
The others looked at Donnie with a puzzled expresion. Donnie wasn't always the happiest one, yeah. But it was new seeing him depressed like that.
"You okay, Donnie?" Alex asked from the car. Donnie sighed in irritation.
"Guys, I'm fine, just lemme work on my experiments in peace, okay?" he asked annoyed.
"... Let's not tick him off more than he already is," Chaplin said.
A few days passed when they all went out to the forest during the night. Mikey had escaped and there had been plenty advertisments of amphibian creatures destroying camps and they were suspecting Mikey was to blame. Leo had divided two different teams to cover the perimeter. Donnie, Raph, Mona, Ryu, Irma, Kevin and Karai would go North while Leo, Lotus, Nozomi, Melina, Chaplin, April and Casey would go South. Splinter, Kirby and Alex were gonna stay in the house until they found Mikey.
"Mikey! Mikey! Mikey, come out wherever you are!" Ryu exclaimed throughout the woods.
"Yell a little louder, blood eyes, I don't think they heard you over Massachusetts," Kevin comented holding a flashlight.
"Shut up, freckles, I don't see you doing much," Ryu answered with a glare.
"I can do something," Kevin aswered with joy. "Smack you!" he snarled.
"You two, stop it!" Irma ordered.
"Fighting isn't gonna help us find Michelangelo," Karai retorted.
"Call him 'Mikey' like veryone else, for Pete's sake," Mona said. Raph rolled his eyes.
"Let's keep looking, Mikey's not gonna come back to the farmhouse on his own, unless he wants to," he comented.
"Good point," Ryu muttered.
"Donnie, you found anything?" Mona asked.
No answer.
Kevin pointed his flashlight around the place, but he didn't see Donnie anywhere.
"Donnie?" he asked. Raph pointed his own flashlight around the trees.
"Donnie?!" he screamed.
"Ugh, fantastic. Now we lost Donnie!" Mona complained.
"If we find him before the others do, I'm gonna smack him," Ryu said.
"Forget Mikey, the others can look for him, let's find Donnie!" Raph ordered. They all nodded in agreement.
"Donnie?" Kevin asked throughout the woods.
"Donnie?!" they all yelled.
Donnie was closer than they though. He was following Leo's team up in the trees where they wouldn't see him. He wanted to make sure that April and Casey were far enough from eachother. He was a jealous turtle, he could accept it. But he loved April too much to even let her go with Casey Jones. He couldn't allow himself to. To his own point of view, Casey was an idiot who was always messing in his love relationship with April. He knew Casey didn't really love her. He was just looking at her as if she was some random girl to flirt with. And, as it was said before, Donnie was more than sick of it.
"You really think Mikey was the one to destroy those camps?" Nozomi asked after a while.
"I don't know... and I don't care, I'm gonna smack him when we find him for leaving the house like that," Melina said, gritting her teeth. The others gave her a blank look.
"Mikey's dissapeared and the only thing you care about is that he left the house unattended?" Leo asked with a raised eyebrow and his face flat.
"Yeah, and that's not the only thing I'll do to him," the brunette answered.
"If I were Mikey now, I'd rather not be found if the one that's gonna do it is you," Chaplin murmured. Melina rolled her eyes and elbowed him in the gut.
"Dudette, what's up with you?" Casey asked surprised while hugging April by the waist.
"I was the one to clean the house when Mikey left while you guys were in training," she answered angrily.
"I'd really wish Kevin was here to calm her down," Lotus whispered to Leo, who chuckled.
Casey stopped behind the group, still hugging April. He smirked. He did have a few dates with her. But, now that Donnie wasn't there to bother them, he had the perfect chance to take the next step.
"What are you doing, Casey?" April asked annoyed. "We're gonna separate from the group,"
Still smirking, he started cornering April against a tree. She didn't really understand. Why was Casey acting like that? He held her chin with his left hand and made her turn to him.
"It's okay, red," he assured her. "You're gonna like this," he said. He leaned closer and closer to her, until Donnie saw a scene that shattered his heart completly.
Casey. Kissed. April. In the lips.
That couldn't be happening... right? It was just a bad dream he was going through. A really bad dream he was just gonna wake up of. But he was lying to himself. That was hundred percent real. Donnie's eyes watered. He couldn't take that anymore. He jumped away from the scene that had just been before his eyes and escaped. Though it wasn't over. April had seen him running away. She frowned, grabbed Casey by the shoulders and pushed him away.
"What's wrong with you?!" she asked angrily.
"What's up with you, red? I thought you wanted it as much as I did," Casey answered.
"I don't like you, Casey!" she snarled. "I don't, I never did and never will!"
"Then why are we dating?!" Casey exclaimed.
"Because I was stupid and didn't understand that the one I really like is Donnie! Not you!" Casey clentched his fist.
"Donatello? That croock-teethed turtle that you bumped for turning your dad into a mutant?" he asked and then laughed. "Please, he's not even at Casey Jones' height," he retorted proudly.
"Maybe because you just fell lower than I could ever imagine. Find someone else who's not me, I gotta find Donnie!" she said and tried running away. Casey grabbed her arm.
"Donatello doesn't even love you... why taking chances with someone who doesn't even do something for you?"
April looked down with tearful eyes.
"You don't know him as much as I do," she answered. "He loves me, much more than you can imagine, Casey. And I know you hate him. You don't love me, you just wanna make him suffer, knowing that I've been dating an idiot all along," she said and ran away. Casey stood there confused.
"What?"
April ran back to the farmhouse. She arrived and saw the place completely calm. Splinter meditating close to the porch, Kirby reading a book in the swing and Alex doing mud cakes in a puddle of mud. She decided to ask her dad. Maybe he had seen Donnie around.
"Dad?" she asked, standing in front of him.
"Oh, hey, honey," he said. "Why are you alone? Where are the others?" he asked, looking around.
"I... separated from them," she answered. She sighed. "Dad, have you... seen Donnie around here?"
"Donatello? Yeah, I think I saw him running and entering the barn. I guess he got separated as well," he answered carelesly. April's shoulders slumped.
"I need to talk to him," she said and started to walk away.
"April," Kirby called out. She turned around and faced him. "I know what was between you and Donatello before I... you know," he said with a small shiver. "What I mean is, I think that Donatello is a good boy... if you ever wanna give him the chance to have something with you besides friendship... I won't say anything against it," he told her. April smiled at him and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you, dad," she murmured. Her dad chuckled and hugged her back.
"No problem, honey. Now, go," he said, pulling away. April smiled at him and kissed his cheek.
She turned around again and headed to the barn. She approached her hand to grab the door knob, but she heard some noise inside.
Sobbing.
Her gaze turned to be more worried than it already was and she opened the door. She saw Donnie sitting on his chair, his arms on the table, hidding his face while crying. That scene was really heartbreaking. She had never seen Donnie crying like that. Except when they almost loose Splinter during the invasion, if Karai hadn't done anything to stop it. She slowly stepped to him and tapped his shoulder.
"Donnie?" she asked. Donnie hid his face more inside his arms and sulked.
"What do you want, April?" he asked frowning. April saddened.
"I... I saw you in the forest when... that happened," she said.
"Congratulations. Now, go," he snarled.
"But-"
"I need no explination, April," he said, looking up, still not glancing at her. "You love Casey, you wanna date him, I understand that," he said angrily. "I got nothing to tell you anymore. There's no way I can make you love me... if you love him," he said, drooping back on his table.
"What... what do you mean?" she asked, not understanding.
"Sensei told me that forcing you to love me is like making me enjoy a fall," he said sadly. "I can't do that to you if Casey is the boy you really love,"
April drooped. Donnie was already assuming something that wasn't true. She knew dating Casey was dumb. But she had lied in something. She didn't need any time at all. In fact, she was gonna ask Donnie that same night if he still wanted to be her boyfriend. She just felt fear. Fear that Donnie would augh at her for thinking that, after all that time without being a couple, he'd reject her. So, she started dating Casey so she could let go of all those emotions she had so she'd forgive Donie.
Casey was only a pastime, a relationship she wasn't paying any attention to. Just the same feeling Casey had for her. April sighed and hugged Donnie from behind, surrounding his neck. Donnie looked up and turned to her.
"What are you doing?" he asked confused.
"Hugging you," she answered.
"But... you should only hug Casey," he said in utter confusión. April scoffed.
"I don't even like Casey," she said.
"But you-"
"Donnie, I was just dating him because I tried forgetting you... but I can't," she said with her eyes closed. "I love you, not him. And I want us to come back,"
Donnie turned to face her with a confused gaze.
"April, I-"
"Shut up and kiss me," she said and, grabbing his face with both hands, she pressed her lips against his. Donnie's eyes widened, but then closed his eyes and kissed her back.
She sat on his lap with her legs hugging his waist, Donnie's arms slinked to her waist and she pulled him closer to her so she could surround his neck. Already running out of air, Donnie pulled away and pressed his forrehead against April's.
"I love you, my Princess," he said.
"And I love you, Donnie Boy," she said with a giggle. Donnie blushed.
He was about to say something else, when they heard a yell. A girly yell. Both teenagers got up and got out of the barn, only to see giant frogs out of the farm, battling with everyone else.
"What the... ?" Donnie mumbled. Three of the frogs jumped to them, but he pulled out his staff and hit them. "Run, April, to the house!" he exclaimed. April nodded and dashed to the house, Donnie going after her. Melina was about to shut the door, when April and Donnie came in.
"Where were you?!" Leo exclaimed angrily. "We've all been looking for you all over the woods!"
"I'll tell you guys later, we gotta barricade the door!" Donnie called out. He, Raph and Ryu blocked the door with a furniture and stood back, weapons in hand.
"What happened?" April whispered to Melina. She shruged.
"We arrived at the farmhouse, thinking that you guys were here, when we saw the whole place with frogs trashing the farm. They attacked us, thinking that we got the turtles captive," she explanied.
"Repulsive humans!" a husky voice exclaimed. "Hear me!"
"... Is he talking about us?" Alex asked fearfully.
"Obviously not me," Casey comented, jerking himself with his thumb and a flirty grin to April. Donnie shoved him angrily.
"Keep your bulging eyes off my girl!" he exclaimed angrily. The others gave him a confused look.
"Whut?" they mumbled.
"We'll explain it later," April said.
"Free our brothers!" one of the frogs said.
"These humans didn't kidnap us!" Leo explained to the frogs.
"What? Are they forcing you to say that?" he asked again in disbelief.
"Uh, no we actually have good relationship with these humans!" Nozomi yelled. "Some of us even have love relationships with them!"
"... I don't think you should have said that," Ryu said.
"Why not?"
"If they have reasons to attack us as humans, now that you said that gives them more reason to attack all of us!" Mona yelled in a high-pitched tone. Raph couldn't help but thinking she looked adorable. Of course, she was mad... but she was still cute.
Much things had happened that night. They saved their friends, made friendship with the frogs and found Venus in the woods. But she wasn't alone. A man in Japan had been taking care of her. And he was sick. The turtles had brought him to the farmhouse to help him.
But it was too late.
Once they had arrived the house, the man was already in Heaven.
Venus was crying for his leave, hugging his corpse. Some girls couldn't help but letting a few tears roll down their cheeks. Donnie hugged April as a show of comfort. Then, he thought. Maybe it wasn't the best time... but it was the first chance that came up to him.
"April... I... I know this is a bad time, but... you want us to come back?" he asked. April looked at him and smiled.
"It's never a bad time to ask that... I've been waiting for you to say it for a long while," she said and held his cheeks for then kissing him deeply.
"Awww," said Melina, Irma... and Mikey.
"Blegh," Mona said, sticking her tongue out. The others rolled their eyes.
Some footsteps were heard from the upper floor and Casey walked downstairs with a blanket around him.
"Dude, what do I gotta do to get some sleep in here?" he asked sleepy. Some thuds were also heard. Casey turned around and saw Chaplin, Ryu and Kevin coming downstairs clumsily. Clumsy enough to fall over him. The teens just laughed.
"Get off of me!" Casey exclaimed angrily.
"Tell Kevin that! He tripped over his own foot!" Ryu yelled.
"Not my fault Chaplin pushed me!" Kevin retorted.
"If Ryu hadn't stomped on my foot!" Chaplin called out.
"If Casey hadn't kicked my face when he got out of the room!" the blonde pointed out.
"Stop it!" Leo exclaimed. "Arguing isn't worth it now! Looked what happened!" he said and gestured to Venus.
The four looked at Venus with a puzzled expresion.
"What the... ?" they mumbled. Leo stepped to Venus and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Guys, this is Venus. Venus, these are Kevin, Chaplin, Ryu and Casey," Leo said. She just waved at them timidly. Casey couldn't help but staring at her. God she was pretty.
"Another one?!" Kevin asked in disbelief. "I was barely getting used to have Karai around," he retorted.
"Shut up, Kevin," Melina said.
Casey got up from the floor with all the teens over him and stepped to Donnie and April.
"Hey, guys, I, uh... wanted to apologize," he said. April and Donnie looked at eachother in utter confusion.
"What do you mean?" April asked.
"I mean, for the kiss, trying to make Donnie feel jealous and all of that," Casey answered.
"Hang on a second, what kiss?" Kirby asked angrily.
"Dad, for your own sake, you don't wanna know," April replied. Donnie just chuckled. But then noticed that Casey didn't stop staring at Venus. He frowned. At least two things came out of her appearience.
The good one, April was back with him.
The bad one...
The new girl Casey had fallen in love with... was his little sister.
Whatever it happened in the future, wasn't gonna be joyful for Donnie.
Only if April wasn't around. Because he knew, that after all those things that had happened that night... April wasn't gonna separate from him, even if her life deppended on it.
KS: Next is about the girls... with a special guest of one of my BFFFF's ;)
