Disclaimer: I own nothing, Joss owns the Buffyverse, owns .
Series Summary: 25 December themed ficlets, with a FfA twist.
Part Summary: And you thought your fans were bad.
Words: 204
Pairing: Andrew Wells/April ONeil (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
Series A/N: All titles are song titles. A fanmix was involved. All of the ficlets are either set pre-series or to the end seasons seven/five (2003/2004). They're memories.
A/N: Set in the early '90's, late '80's (because the tv show was on in the late '80's when I was little, and Andrew is probably a year younger than the Buffy crew (his Hellhound raising brother was the same age as them, and he was his little brother)) I think they might have actually used this plot in one of the old cartoons.

I Want to Hold Your Hand

"But I can't do this contest!" April O'Neil cried, trying to make her boss see reason. She had stories to cover, Turtles to praise, and evil ninjas to evade. She couldn't participate in a network publicity ploy.

"Forget it, Toots, we've already got a winner," one of the network execs chuckled, puffing on a cigar.

"Already?" April gasped. "You didn't say that you'd already started the contest!"

"Ohmygod!" a little blond haired boy hurled himself at her leg, wrapping his arms around her waist. "You'reAprilO'Neil!"

"Uh, Barry?" April hissed. "Who is this?"

"I'm Andrew Wells! I sent in a gajillion box tops and lapel pins and collector coupons just to meet the lady who found the Turtles!"

"Lapel pins? How much money did this kid fork out?"

"Plenty on the April O'Neil merchandise," the exec chuckled. April could almost imagine the cha-chings going over and over in his head and green dollar signs popping up in his eyes.

"Wait, I have merchandise?"

"We're making a deal with Kenner on the doll rights," Barry winced at her little snarl.

"And a tv show!" the little boy jumped up and down, his face burrowing into her hip.

"Oh, come on, can't Shredder kidnap me now?" April whimpered.
