As all the guys approached her, April stood up and placed her hands on her hips.

"All right, who's going down first?" April asked smugly.

"You'll be going down courtesy of the awesome Michelangelo!" Mikey roared, feeling confident.

"All right then, freckles, let's do this."

"Hey, you have freckles too," Mikey replied, grabbing his nunchucks.

Leo, Donnie, Casey and Raph all sat down, giving a respectful amount of distance to avoid harm's way. Casey and Donnie shoved each other a bit to get a better view before anything happened. Getting annoyed, Raph pushed them aside and gave them a glare.

"Stop horsin' around and keep your big heads outta my face," Raph said, quieting them down.

"Thank you," Leo sighed happily, ready to watch.

Michelangelo bent his knees, positioning himself. He pulled out his nunchucks from his belt, spinning them around. He curled his toes in the ground, waiting for the right moment. He narrowed his eyes, his usual battle smile growing on his face. He pushed out his playful thoughts with Ice Cream Kitty and began to concentrate.

Meanwhile, April stood up straight, clenching her hand tightly. She furrowed her eyebrows, giving Mikey a challenging look. She quickly whipped out her tessen, opening it and waving it toward her face. She huffed, smiling.

"Bring it on, Mikey," she said, getting ready.

"Ladies first," Mikey replied.

"Such a gentleman, Mikey," April put one leg in front of the other, deciding how to charge.

"I know, that's how I do," Mikey stood his ground, his smile slowly fading. He knew it was about to begin.

Silence filled the outside along with the sound of the wind. It was a bright, sunny day. The air was warm and entwined with the cooling wind, making the air feel like the perfect temperature. Some leaves were dancing high in the air, but slowly they all fell on the ground. Leo, Raph, Donnie and Casey were all waiting anxiously for the sparring to begin. Leo had dug his fingers into the grass, Raph had leaned forward, Donnie widened his eyes, and Casey held his breath. Finally, someone ran.

April ran towards Michelangelo, aiming to strike him from the right. She wouldn't use her tessen just yet, just her fists. Mikey jumped to his left, quickly lurking behind her. He let out a little grin, only increasing April's want to attack. She went for his torso, only briefly striking him. He backflipped away as she made several attempts to hit Mikey. She let grunts escape her lips with every attempt. Mikey laid himself on the floor, caught her legs between his, twisted his hips and down she went on her back.

"April! Are you okay?" Donnie and Casey yelled in unison, concerned.

Paying no attention to them, April kicked her leg up and struck Mikey on the chin, sending him down to the ground. She leaped up on her feet, her hands balled into fists.

"Is that all you've got?" April yelled.

"Booyakasha!" Mikey yelled, running towards her with nunchucks spinning.

"Oh, earlier than expected," she said, tessen ready.

Mikey slashed one of his nunchucks forward only for it to be met with a tessen. They hopped around, their weapons constantly smashing. Mikey narrowed his eyes and struck with a bit more force, knocking April's tessen out of her hand. She saw it fly away, landing on the handrails of the stairs on the farmhouse. She took a step back, looking at her opponent. Mikey started to cease the spinning of his weapons. She huffed and charged toward him, punching his shoulder. He stumbled back a bit, quickly recovering from the blow. He charged at her, one of his weapons being knocked out from his hand by her foot. He jumped up, landing directly in front of her. Surprised and trying to back away, she was tripped and knocked down.

"Whoa, Red!" Casey yelled, running toward her.

"April!" Donatello cried, quickly running past Casey.

"Mikey, what the heck was that?" Casey growled, about to pull out his hockey stick.

"Whoa oh," Leonardo said, worried about things escalating. With the help of Raphael, he got up and quickly went over where the sparring had ceased. Raph went over to April and Donnie, being sure that Leo could handle Casey.

"Casey, bro, take it easy!" Mikey urged, backing away from Casey, who was ready to fight. "Ahh! Ah, AHH!"

Pulling out one of his katanas, Leo stepped in front of his littlest brother, prepared to fight if necessary.

"Back off, Casey," Leo said, giving a very threatening glare that made Casey grimace. He'd never received such a fearsome glare from Leo. Raph, maybe, but not Leo.

"You don't scare me, Leo," Casey retorted, clenching onto his hockey stick. "Guys with stump legs are no threat."

"Casey, what the hell?" Raph growled as he heard his big brother being insulted for something he couldn't help.

"Casey!" April yelled, enraged by what Casey said.

"Oh, you want to point out my injury, Jones?" Leo growled, dropping his katana. He clenched his fists, popping his knuckles.

"Oh no," Mikey whispered, extremely worried. He didn't want to be the cause of someone being hurt.

Leonardo stopped himself before he did something he really wanted to do but knew wasn't right. He turned around and looked at his youngest brother, giving him a pat on the shoulder, congratulating him and giving him a look to reassure him that he was okay. Leo knew Mikey was extremely worried about his feelings. He looked down at April and offered his hand. She gave him a sad smile, grabbing it. He pulled her up and gave her a light squeeze on the shoulder. She knew Leo was telling her a job well done. She knew Mikey won fair and square and wasn't upset. Raph and Donnie looked at their older brother, not knowing whether they should speak or not. Leo caught their glances and gave them a reassuring smile, heading for the farmhouse, his back fully turned on Casey.

"Donnie, your turn to spar with April," was all he said before he slammed the front door, secluding himself in the farmhouse.
