Chapter 3: Promise

"Are you going to be alright?" Donnie asked while stepping closer to the girl.

"I guess. My aunt said I could stay here as long as I want, but I'll be a lot better when I track down the creeps that took away my dad."

"Won't the police help?" Leo inquired trying to be helpful.

"Funny thing, when you tell them your dad was kidnapped by alien brains and robot bodies, they don't exactly take you all that seriously." Her tone was a bit sarcastic but it was understandable.

"I hear that." Mikey thought he could relate, although no one could take him seriously, ever.

"April, I promise we won't rest until we find him."

"We won't?" Raph was becoming impatient.

"No. We won't." Leo nudge his brother, reassuring their new friend for comfort. Her blue eyes avoided his own when his adverted back to her.

"Thank you, but it's not your fight."

"Yes it is." Her eyes lit up at Donnie who held her hand. He blushed madly at her smile. The turtles then left their new friend to return to their cozy lair.

After talking with Master Splinter, Leonardo returned to his room ready to call it a night. As he laid there, Leo kept thinking about April. Don't worry April. Will find your dad. I'll make sure of it, I promise. He smiled to himself, thinking of the girl. Her orange hair, blue eyes, the smile she gave to Donnie. Maybe someday she'll smile like that to me. Shaking his head, he shouldn't be thinking that. It was obvious Donnie liked her... A LOT. Besides, he couldn't do that to his brother. This is something he will never admit, something that could never be admitted. If I stop thinking about her, this feeling will go away. That was a promise Leo had to make for himself. This way no one would get hurt. However, this could be one promise he might not be able to keep.
