Rapheal`s heart soared at the thought
"April what are you sayin?" asked Rapheal,his voice was soft and gentle
"April will you ma ke me a bowl of butter?" Quoted April
Rapheal chuckled and removed from April,he then knelt down on one leg
"April O Neil will you take my three fingers in marraige?" Asked Rapheal,his hand made its way to his pocket and removed the small box
"Yes!" said April,her voice clearly show happiness,she reached down and removed the box from his hand,April didnt think he would have a ring,
April`s face lightup once she saw the ring,it was small and golden with a large diamond on top,the diamond was a opal,April`s birthstone,as April pushed it
on,April took notice of the fact that,Rapheal looked as happy as he possible could be,Rapheal took notice of the fact that,April looked as if this was was
the best day of her life,Rapheal grabbed April gentle with his right hand and brought her beautiful face to his lips,they shared a very
sexy kiss,Rapheal had a image of Mikey fainting if he had saw it,
"Rapheal not to spoil the mood but how did you pay for the ring?" Asked April
Rapheal`s smile grew even larger
"Well a month, i saw a few Foot robbing a bank when it was closed,I took them out and then i took my payment for helpin the bank" Replyed Raph
April laughed
"So where we stayin? your place or mine?" Asked Rapheal
"Why waste time and walk back to mine when your`s is so close,that way we can tell the others"
they held hands and began to walk to the lair

Rapheal was right outside the main entryway to the lair April standing a few feet behind him so she couldnt be seen,
Rapheal opened the door,suddenly he saw a flash of light then a great pain in his left hand,
Rapheal looked to his left only to find Leo holding his katana,its blade soaked with blood,Leo mumbling
he was sorry,Rapheal began to ask what was wrong when he realized his left arm was much lighter,Rapheal moved his left arm to in front of his face,
only to find that he was missing his left hand, then Rapheal fainted

When Rapheal awoke it was to a horrible pain in his left arm he had thought that the last few things he remembered were dreams,he opened his
eyes only to find his arm was bandaged where his hand used to be,
Rapheal realized that that he was lying on the couch,Donatello was working on something at his bench
his back was showered in light by his blowtorch,April was crying in a chair someone had moved there for her,Leo was no where to be seen,but
onch Rapheal was healed,Raph knew he would give him one a hell of a thrashing,Splinter was no where to be seen also,Raph sat up lifting his arm up gently
April still hadnt noticed that Rapheal was awake,Raph gave the room a quick look,Mikey was sitting in the dojo with Splinter meditating,Leo was doing
back flips in beside them,Raph figured that Leo had been hit by Splinter several times and then sent to do like one hundred back flips,but Mikey
doing actual work!,Rapheal couldnt help himself he began to laughin last hour or two he had gotten
engaged and gotten his hand cut off by his own brother,same ol turtle luck,

Rapheal didnt scream grunt or really do anything,as Donatello began to drive bolts into his left wrist,right after Leonardo sliced off Rapheal`s hand,Donatello
had begun work on a fake one for Rapheal,what came out wasnt really what Rapheal thought it would be,he thought it would be a giant
hulking gadget with tons of little gadgets like a gun and flashlight,but instead it looked like a Rapheal`s old hand,it was about the same size save
for the very bottom and even that looked normal,the metal Don had used was very smooth much like his real skin,of course it was also green,Don
had to put several bolts into it so it would stay on,Don had informed Rapheal afterwards he should put a peice of cloth around it so you couldnt tell,
"Alright all done" Said Donatello rather smug and happy with himself
Rapheal couldnt get it to move at all till after a few minutes had passed he could move a finger just barely,but after a half hour he could use it like he has
had it all his life,of course Raph was very very drunk,April had run up top and gotten a few bottles of vodka,Raph had drank
very quickly trying to kill the pain,he hadnt said so,but it was a no brainer that having your hand cut off and then getting bolts screwed in would hurt,
Rapheal had passed out again around 1 AM

Don awoke up to find Rapheal gone as was April,he quickly told master Splinter and then Splinter told him to check April`s apartment,
Don arrived at April`s building around 7 AM,Donatello quickly ran up to April`s Apartment,he knocked on the door,no one answered,so he
knocked again still no answer,Don placed his ear to the door,he heard really loud thumping,Don figured the Foot had attacked so he kicked in
the door,he then notice that the thumping was coming from April`s bedroom,Don tried the door,it wasnt locked so he opened it,April was
ontop of Rapheal who was lying on her bed doing something Don had only seen on HBO
