Donatello's Point of View:
I stood there staring at my reflection for the longest time. My hands were curled into fists and I felt like I was sweating all over. It was already nighttime….so my date with April will start soon….
"Are you going to just stand there all day?" Leo called and I whipped my head to look at the bathroom door, where he was leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face, "It's almost time for you to go."
"I...I know," I stammered, feeling my face turn red. Leo's look softened, "I shouldn't be this embarrassed, right? I've been to house with her before…we've been alone at her house before…but this is a date and it's different…and-"
"Whoa, Donnie, calm down there," Leo laughed a little, coming towards me with his hands raised. He put one on my shoulder and squeezed, "It's different circumstances, so you have every right to be nervous about your first date."
I nodded as my face flared up at his words. Leo sighed with a smile and patted my shoulder before stepping back, "You look good, bro. You have nothing to worry about."
"And if you worry too much you'll worry April too!" Mikey chimed in as he literally swung into the bathroom and twirled until he gracefully stopped beside me. Leo and I rolled our eyes as Raph came into the room after him, grinning.
"It's too small in here to all be crowding in the bathroom!" I protested with a pout and they ignored me. My eyes widened when Nakano came into the room too before I outright face-palmed when he looked emotional again after glancing in my direction, "Please don't get so teary-eyed when you look at me."
My brothers laughed and Nakano nodded a lot while wiping his eyes on his sleeve. Jeez, you'd think I was getting married to April with how they were acting. I shook my head and blushed at the thought before Nakano spoke, "And remember what I said earlier, Donnie?"
"Yes, to text at least one of my brothers when I get there so you guys know I made it safely," I recited as I rolled my eyes, "Gee, guys, Frank is picking me up and dropping me off so there's nothing to worry about."
"But there's that guy that was followin' us earlier," Raph interrupted with a narrow eyed stare as we all flinched at the reminder, "I don't want ya goin' anywhere without us. So if Frank doesn't show up don't try ta go off alone, okay?"
"Plus with Shredder blackmailing you, you're an easy target," Leo frowned worriedly and I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck before outright gasping when Mikey hugged my arm with great force.
"Let's stop talking about Shred-Head! I did a good job helping choose an outfit, right Donnie?!" Mikey chimed happily and I smiled at him, nodding my head. I was wearing a black and white plaid shirt, gray corduroy pants, and black shoes…which was a color I didn't wear often but I found myself over analyzing every shirt until Mikey thrust this into my hands. Leo took away my glasses so I was forced to endure without them. Ever since I met them I haven't worn them so much, but I'm so used to them that sometimes I'll find myself wearing them without realizing. My brothers hate when I do except for when I'm reading because they believe I don't need to wear them to appease others about my "nerd appearance". Brothers are odd.
"I also like it...though it kinda reminds me of somethin' Leo wears," Raph commented and Leo shot him a look as I chuckled, "Then again...it's not like we always have ta wear our favorite colors."
"Exactly," Mikey grinned proudly as he circled me once, "I think you're all set for sure, D!"
I smiled at my family and nodded, feeling more confident than I had a few minutes ago. I managed to convince them all to leave the restroom and snuck my glasses into my pocket before leaving the bathroom. When I walked into the living room I saw Nakano at his desk, typing away on some online chatroom. Leo and Raph were sitting side by side arguing lightly over what to watch and Mikey was standing by the door. I walked up to him and looked towards my family, "I'm leaving now. I'll text when I get there."
"Bye Don." "Bye Donnie! Have a good time at April's!" "Goodbye Donatello. Be careful."
"Bye D," Mikey grinned out as he opened the door for me. I rolled my eyes and smiled tolerantly before ruffling his hair, "Tell April I said hi!"
"Will do," I promised with a smile as he closed the door behind me. As soon as I reached the road I noticed Frank already waiting on me and I waved. He beamed and waved back at me as I got into the back seat of his taxi, "Hey Frank. How are you?"
"Hey Don! I'm great and I'm so glad ya called for a ride," He grinned as he began to pull out. I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and blinked before outright laughing when I saw Mikey waving his whole arm excitedly from the living room window, "So, April's house was it?"
"Yes, you still know the address right?" I asked politely and he laughed while nodding. I felt hesitant but really needed to know, "How's Sensei?"
"Ya mean Yoshi? He's doin' okay...ya can tell he's stressed over not seeing you boys…but that's not your fault," He replied and I could see his hands clench the steering wheel. I adverted my eyes and my shoulders fell, "But knowing Yoshi, he's finding a way to see ya guys. Don't worry."
I smiled a little, "Yeah, I'm sure he is."
We continued our small talk up and down streets until he eventually surprised me by whirling around in his seat at a stoplight, "Wait, wait! Ya mean you're goin' on a date?!"
"Y-Yeah," I smiled nervously, still startled by his sudden burst of energy. I blushed when he stared, his eyes sparkling.
"That's awesome! I know ya've always been friends with April, but I had no idea!"
"W-Well it just happened yesterday and stuff," I explained sheepishly while rubbing the back of my head shyly. I turned to look out the window once we got moving again, "I'm really nervous about it...because April is so great and I don't wanna mess anything up!"
"Don't worry that smart brain of yours," He retorted and I blinked at him in surprise, "You and your brothers are unique individuals since conception. There's no way April won't like you."
My face burned red and my lips trembled into a smile at his words. We talked some more and I revealed what April had planned for out date, something simple to start out with. He offered me opinions of what I could do, most of which made me blush no matter what, and before I knew it we were stopping at her street. I smiled at Frank as I stepped out of the taxi, "I have money to gi-"
"Save your money, Don. I don't need it," Frank winked and I gave him a sighing smile, "I don't mind driving you kids around. Especially lately. Just be careful and call me for another ride back or at least let me know if you found another ride."
"I will. Thanks so much Frank," I replied politely and watched him flash me a toothy grin before he left. I turned and eyed April's small brownish yellow apartment complex. My hands already felt like they were shaking and I gulped before moving on my merry way into the antique shop she lived over. I took the stairs slowly before stopping ni front of the door to her apartment, "Okay Donnie, you can do this. It's just April and she basically asked you out. Don't blow it!"
I barely knocked before Mr. O'Neil opened the door with a welcoming smile, "Ah, Donatello, it's been awhile!"
A few of my nervousness left at the sight of him and I smiled politely, "Yes it has. How've you been, sir?" He let me walk into the apartment before closing the door.
"I've been good, thank you. And how are you? How's your classes this year?" He questioned as I spotted the door to April's room.
"They are good. I'm in all honors and advanced classes," I admitted proudly and he smiled, "I'm doing good, myself."
"That's excellent," He grinned, "April was very excited to get home from school today so she can see you." I blushed like a tomato and he chuckled, "I won't bother you guys since I have paperwork to be doing. But if you need anything come get me from the bedroom. April should be out soon."
"Ah, thanks Mr. O'Neil," I grinned back shyly and he nodded, standing and exiting the room with a focused look on his face. I sighed a little, as if I had been holding my breath and my shoulders sagged as I got into a comfortable position on their sofa. Then my eyes widened when I remembered I needed to text one of my brothers. Digging in my pocket I was able to get my phone and rolled my eyes at the sarcastic text from Raph: "Make good choices!"
Shaking my head, I sent a reply, deciding to let Raph be the one I tell of my arrival, "Of course I make good choices, Meathead! I made it here so be sure to spread the good news."
I smiled at the almost instant reply, "Ha ha, of course. Don't be too late cause Mikey and I don't feel like watchin' Fearless worry too much. And don't even get me started on Nakano."
A laugh escaped my mouth as I tapped a quick reply, "I'll be sure to let you guys know. Don't worry! See you tonight."
"Donnie! You're early!" I turned my head and my eye widened as April stepped out of her room with a bright happy smile on her face, "I made some cookies and stuff but needed to change."
She looked amazing. However, she always looked amazing to me, no matter what she did or what she wore. But tonight she had her auburn hair in a cute but messy ponytail. She was wearing blue jean shorts and a simple yellow tank top. I gulped a little as she came closer and felt awkward when we hugged each other in greeting. I mentally prayed I didn't stutter, "S…So you made cookies? What kind?"
"Chocolate chip and some peanut butter cookies," She replied happily as she walked towards her kitchen but stopped to look over her shoulder, "I laid out some suggestions of what we can watch. You pick us a movie and I'll get the plate of cookies."
I felt a bit calmer since she was acting so normal and nodded my head, turning to eye the table filled with DVD movies. She left towards the kitchen and I dropped to the floor to hover over the table. I was a bit surprised at some of the DVDs she had laid out such as Paranormal Activity and some scientific documentary type movies. I saw some more horror movies and shook my head good-naturedly. Some were romantic movies, which made me feel shy, and then my eye caught site of a recently released movie that I had been curious about: The Shallows.
"Did you find one?" April called as she rounded back into the living room. I smirked at her and waved The Shallows at her and she flashed a nervous smile, "I haven't watched that one yet because I haven't found someone to watch it with me. I was supposed to watch it with Karai, but she must be busy or something because she hasn't answered my texts or calls."
"Well we can watch it together if you want," I offered with a small nervous smile. She nodded, looking nervous but excited all in one. I laughed as she set the cookies down and cleared the table. I fixed up the DVD player and TV then we settled beside each other a little awkwardly at first. My heart was thumping in my chest at her closeness but I didn't want her to move away either. This was so great!
"I'm probably gonna get scared straight out of my pants," She commented randomly as the opening credits started and I choked a little on the cookie in my mouth while she grinned at me, giggling a little at my reaction, "Just like old times, huh?"
I blinked at her before smiling warmly, nodding my head. She grabbed my hand and beamed before turning to the screen. My face turned a little red and butterflies swarmed my stomach, but it felt good to be doing something nice like this. Something that was not awful at all. April juts had this way of making me feel many emotions at one time. Like an emotional whiplash…but she could always find a way to cheer me up too.
God, April O'Neil was so cool!

Meanwhile
Michelangelo's Point of View:
"Will ya just take tha damn meds, Leo?!" Raph argued with Leo and I sighed from where I stood watching at the crease of the kitchen doorway, "I've seen ya wincin' and rubbin' ya head a little, which means ya still have pain."
"I don't want to rely on medicine to make me feel better unless absolutely necessary," Leo denied, wrinkling his face at our hotheaded quadruplet, "The pain is down to sporadic headaches, nothing more. I don't need any medicine."
"So help me God, Fearless," Raph face palmed hard, resorting to Leo's ultimate nickname. I grinned a little and shook my head before glancing down at my phone. I decided to let my brothers fight it out and walked towards the hall before looking briefly to Nakano-Otōsan, who was still typing away at his computer with a very focused look that was the split image of Donnie's. I shook my head again and walked into mine and Leo's room before closing the door and sitting heavily on my bed.
Quickly dialing a number I knew by heart, I grinned when my Mom finally answered on the fourth ring, "Mikey, darling!"
I laughed, "Hey, Mom! What's up?!"
"Oh nothing much, just watching reality TV shows, haha," Mom replied and I chuckled at the mental image of my Mom actually being lazy, "So how are things over at Nakano's? Leatherhead has kept me informed of you every day but I can't help but worry. I talked to Hamato-san earlier and he seemed very inspirited."
My face fell, "Yeah, he's taking it hard but we are sending him secret notes and stuff! And things with Nakano- Otōsan are much better now that he's confided in us. We figured out how our real mother met him and how she died. I'll tell you all about it or well…a short version of it!"
"That's fascinating, Sweetie! Do tell, you know how much I love stories," She giggled and I smiled warmly. I began to recite Nakano-Otōsan's story as best as I could remember with my Mom making little comments here and there. She was very disheartened to hear of my real mother's death and very surprised to hear Nakano-Otōsan's side of the story. I nearly laughed out loud when she exclaimed her proudness that we forgave him and how he wanted to do better for us now, "That is wonderful, Sweetie! Your father wants to be in your lives!"
"Yeah, it'll take some getting used to but I'm just glad he's not a bad guy like Shredder," I shuddered and she went silent on the other line, "There's a lot that's happened that I need to fill you in on. First of all Shre-"
A knock of the door made me jump and gasp until Leo poked his head through, "Oh, sorry Mikey, I didn't know you were on the phone."
"S'all good, dude, just talking to my Mom," I smiled and he blinked in surprise before entering the room and smiling back. I laughed when my Mom yelled out a hello for Leo and asked about his head injury. I rolled my eyes and had to put the phone on speaker just for them two to talk pleasantries. When they finished Leo got up and smirked at me.
"Nakano is ordering pizza for dinner tonight. A supreme and two pepperonis'," Leo informed me as my eyes grew wide and my mouth watered. He laughed at my reaction before politely leaving me to talk to my mom alone.
"How nice, darling, you get to have pizza!" She exclaimed and I laughed a little while drawing pretend patterns in my sheets with my finger.
"Yup! It's not all bad here after all!" I joked and she giggled, "Now as I was saying…there's something important I need to tell you."
"Go ahead, Sweetie, I'm listening," She said patiently and I sucked in a huge breath before sighing slowly. I began to tell her how Donnie began withdrawing, how he was being blackmailed by Shredder, how he was also blackmailing Nakano-Otōsan, and finally how Shredder threatened to take away the funding for her chemo treatments. Tears were trying to form in my eyes after I expressed my worry now that we know Donnie's secret, even if Shredder doesn't know we know, "I see. I thought something larger was going on for you all to be taken away from Hamato-san like that. But Sweetie, I get that this guy is a huge CEO business man and all that, but how does he have the authority over my health insurance? How does he have the authority to take away what's mine?"
"It's not so much about your insurance, I think," I replied hesitantly as she went quiet, "I think it's more of the line of he has ties with hospitals and can pull funding that would force you to go somewhere else, where treatments aren't as good."
It was silent for a minute or two and I was afraid I'd upset her, "Sweetie, don't let that man ruin your life. I am so pissed that he's using my relationship with you boys to hurt you all, especially Donnie. If getting treatment elsewhere is what it takes to pull some of that leverage off you, then I'll do it. Don't be afraid for me, Munchkin."
The tears welled in my eyes and I sniffed, nodding my head, "But Mom, you shouldn't have to do that. God, why is he such a bad guy?!"
"Some people are just that way, Sweetie. I don't know what to tell you. But I will tell you this, if you allow him to use any of you because of me I will not only be very angry but very upset as well, understand? I want you to have to worry about you. I will be fine," She explained warmly and I shook my head, wiping my eyes before the tears could break the barrier.
"I won't Mom, I trust you," I whispered and clutched my phone, "Love you."
"I love you more," She replied instantly, laughing lightly, "I promise to call you if anything happens if you promise to keep me on the loop?"
A smile graced my face, "Of course, Mom. Say hello to Leatherhead for me!"
"Sure thing, Pumpkin," She said and I could just imagine her grinning. After our conversation was over I stared at my phone for a couple of minutes, trying not to feel overly sad for my Mom because I know she wouldn't like that one bit. I sighed, cursing Shredder in my mind. I looked up to stare at the bedroom door next and eventually made up my mind to text all my friends and Donnie.
I laughed at little texts I got from Casey and Mondo. I didn't expect Donnie or April to text back anytime but I was a bit worried when Karai never answered. She'd always answer my texts and call me a lot of pet names, usually Squirt much to my dismay. But this time she said nothing. It shows that she hadn't even viewed the text at least. I rose an eyebrow at my phone as if the answer would become apparent. Then I outright jumped when my phone vibrated.
My eyes nearly bulged out of my head when I recognized the caller ID as Slash and answered quickly, "Hello? Slash?"
"Mikey, thank God," A voice I didn't recognize replied and I felt uneasy until he spoke again when I didn't say anything right away, "It's Oliver, Slash's little brother?"
"Oh!" I blurted, my eyes widening as I felt very confused as to why he would be using Slash's phone and calling me of all people, "Hey, Dude! What's up? Why are you using Slash's phone?"
"Long story, but have you seen or heard from Slash?" He asked, sounding out of breath. I frowned in confusion when I heard background noises that sounded like a group of people talking.
"No, I haven't…sorry, is something wrong, dude?" I questioned fearfully. He went quiet for all but a second before sighing.
"I haven't seen him all day and his phone is here. I tried phoning Raph first but he hasn't answered," Oliver replied hesitantly and my eyes slowly widened, "I don't know what's wrong, but its night time and we always go on patrol together. He'd never stay out this long unless something happened."
I flinched, hearing the underlying panic in his voice, "Raph hasn't really paid attention to his phone and he hasn't seen Slash either. Sorry. But I will definitely make some calls for you dudes…."
"Thank you, but wait…has anything happened recently? Because Hun was arrested and I heard that it was because he attacked you. Now Slash is missing and I fear the reason why," Oliver stammered sounding like he was coming undone, the poor dude, "I've also tried getting in touch with Karai, because she's been trying to help us too but she hasn't answered any texts or calls either."
Frowning heavily, I got off my bed and left my room to search for Leo and Raph while keeping the phone to my ear, "Hold on, dude, I'ma tell my bros what's going on." I found Leo siting cross legged on the floor, meditating while I heard Raph in the kitchen, "Leo, Raph, we've got a problem!"
Leo's eyes popped open and Raph grunted to a stop to whatever he was doing in the kitchen. Nakano-Otōsan also stopped and turned around in his chair to look at me with wide eyes. As soon as Raph joined the room I put Oliver on speaker and quickly filled them in on what was happening with Slash. Leo looked calculative while Nakano-Otōsan stayed silent and Raph was shocked, "I haven't heard from him in a good while."
"Yeah, I'm not sure where he'd be. I'm really worried," Oliver commented, his voice becoming shaky, "Have any of you been able to get in touch with Karai?"
I watched as Raph looked confused and Leo froze, his eyes going wide before he brought out his phone, literally turning pale. We all noticed this and I took a step forward towards my oldest brother, "Leo? What's wrong?"
"Karai hasn't been answering any of my messages either and I was so preoccupied with what's happened and with Donnie that I forgot about her plan," Leo explained while a jolt of remembrance hit me, "Her plan to figure out what was happening with her Father."
"You don't think something's wrong, do you?" Oliver asked uncertainly, his voice cracking, "I have no idea what's going on anymore."
"Me either…" Leo shook his head while looking determined. He turned to Raph, "Raph, call Donnie and tell him and April what's going on so they can know. I'm going to try calling Karai while Mikey, you stay on the phone with Oliver and write down the area's they are planning on searching for Slash."
"Sure thing," Raph replied grimly, a scowl on his face as he rushed towards the room he shared with Donnie.
"I haven't heard anything from Shredder," Nakano commented randomly as he looked distressed, "But isn't Karai his daughter? He wouldn't hurt her. Maybe her phone died or something?"
"Maybe," I muttered as Leo dialed Karai's number and vanished into the kitchen, "Can I borrow pen and paper, please?" Nakano blinked in surprise before nodding his head, helping me get paper and pen, "Okay Oliver, tell me everywhere you're planning on searching for Slash. Whenever we're able we'll help you look for him. Probably tomorrow."
"Thanks man," Oliver replied and I smiled just a little, feeling happy to help.

Donatello's Point of View:
This was amazing! April was cuddled against my side and she smelled like soft vanilla cookies or something. Every time there was a jump scare, I would jump and April would curl into a ball into my side. The movie was almost over and we had made some comments here or there. I found it surprising when she grabbed my hand near the beginning and held onto it just for the sake of doing so. I'd never felt so happy. It took my mind away from the awful nights of sleep and the horrible stress I'd be under lately.
However, my phone began to ring towards the end of the movie and I groaned when I saw Raph's caller ID. April shot me a confused look and I sighed before apologizing to her. She paused the movie with a tolerant smile though and I answered my phone, "Dude, you better have a really good reason for this."
"Sorry Donnie," Raph apologized and my eyes widened before I did a double take on my phone. Did Raph just apologize to me? "This is important. We can't get a hold of Slash or Karai. Somethin' might be wrong."
"What?!" I near shouted and April jumped, staring at me with wide eyes. I quickly put the phone on speaker for her to hear, "What's going on, Raph?!"
"Oliver called Mikey because he couldn't get a hold of anyone else," Raph started, "But he's freakin' out askin' if we heard from Slash, which no one has, and no one can get him on tha phone because Oliver has his phone. We might have ta go look for him."
"What?" April gasped while my mind reeled with possibilities.
"But Raph, it's dark out and it's way too dangerous to look for him right now!" I argued lightly, hoping that he'd understand that I was also worried, but logical all the same. There was so way we'd be going out looking for missing person through the night!
"Look, I know Donnie. Leo wanted me ta keep ya guys in tha loop just in case, plus he's freakin' out about Karai-"
"Wait, what's wrong with Karai?" April interrupted with a heavy look of worry in her blue eyes. I frowned worriedly, "I haven't heard from her since yesterday at the skating park."
Raph went silent and I opened my mouth to question him when he sighed heavily, "No one can get in touch with her. Like at all. Leo's tryin' and it looks like he's failin'. I don't know what he wants ta do. Both Slash and Karai are just unresponsive. Leo's panickin' because Karai had that plan ta investigate Shredder for us but now there's no word from her at all."
My eyes went wide and April gasped loudly, her hands going to her mouth as she looked disturbed, "Oh no! What if Shredder caught her and took way her phone or something? I hope that's all he did! I'm worried now…she'd always answer my texts with smart ass or sarcastic texts…."
"I'm sure she's fine," I soothed her, reaching a hand towards her. She grabbed my hand and squeezed anxiously, "Raph, tell Leo that it's too late to do anything tonight. But in the morning we can look for Slash and Karai.
"Then that's exactly what we're going to do," Leo's voice drifted out of the phone and I realized Raph must have put me on speaker as well, "Sorry to ruin your dates guys, but Oliver sounds very distressed and will hardly let Mikey off the phone."
"It's okay Leo," April smiled a little and squeezed my hand again, "I'm glad you let us know. Tomorrow I'll come as soon as I can after school, but I have a test in English and Science so I can't skip."
"That's okay. Casey said somethin' similar which is kinda odd," Raph added with a slight huff, "Leatherhead and Mondo are also going ta help after school tomorrow. Tha guys and I don't start back yet so we're gonna start as soon as we can."
"Good," I replied, feeling lighter, "Then it's a plan. Does Nakano know what we're doing?"
"Yes, he does…or rather he knows we're looking for Slash," Leo said hesitantly, "I didn't tell him about searching for Karai…which means we'd have to go to the Oroku business building Sensei once saw. We have to look or her just in case he's done something to her."
"I hope not," April whimpered, "But Karai can handle herself. I just hope you guys find her there. And I hope Slash is okay."
"Yeah, me too. When Hun attacked Mikey it was because he thought I had a hold over tha Purple Dragons. What if Shredder found out that I have a connection with Slash and has done somethin'?" Raph questioned through his teeth and I frowned sadly.
"We'll figure it out tomorrow, Raph, don't worry," Leo soothed and pinpricks throbbed in my heart at my brothers' obvious pain, "Just continue your date, guys. Sorry and come home soon Donnie."
"Yeah, I'll finish this movie and call Frank. I'll see you later," I replied before ending the call. April stared at me sadly and hugged me. I hugged her back just as hard, "Sorry that I have to leave after just one movie, April. This was probably the worst date."
"No it wasn't," She denied, shaking her head as we parted. She smiled warmly at me, "I just like spending time with you. It's not like we can't make this up with another date…if you want?"
My mouth fell open and my face turned red as I nodded, "S-Sure, I don't mind!"
"Good, so it's date! I'm so happy!" She grinned and I smiled shyly at the couch, "This means we're going out right? That's how you're seeing this too...right?"
"I-If you want to go out w-with me then we can g-go out," I stammered, feeling my face burn hotly and I couldn't look up no matter what.
"Of course I want to!" April giggled as she touched my arm tenderly, "I've been waiting for quite a while for you to ask me to be your girlfriend…so I thought maybe now is a good a time as any."
I looked up at her even though my face was still burning. I put a hand over hers and smiled, "Really?" She nodded, "Then I guess we're going out..."
"Awesome! So let's finish his movie so you can get home to your worried brothers," She winked with a giggle. I let out a huff of laughter and settled back more comfortable while she burrowed into my side again and played the movie.
My thoughts were racing with both positive and negative feelings. This was both the best and most stressful night of my life. But at least I'm going out with the girl I'm in love with! Score!
o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
