Chapter 8: What Just Happened

*April's POV*

It was finally Saturday! It had been a such long week for April. With so much school work to catch up on, mutants running loose and the sleepless nights she was receiving, she really needed a day off. Although her thoughts kept wondering back to her missing father. Where is he? She had become so worried. It's been a month since she last saw him. Glancing over at her clock she noticed it was nearly noon. After a moment of deciphering, she decided to visit the turtles. Maybe today she would take Leo's offer to help train her. Hopefully it will take her mind off things. Quickly dressing she made her way down to the lair deep in the sewers. She went through the subway booth and instantly saw the guys. Mikey was eating pizza while playing a video game, Raph was doing push ups on his sais and Donnie was on his laptop.

"Hey guys!"

"April!" Donnie was always the first to great her. He always had such enthusiasm. He's such a great friend. Giving the turtle a quick hug, there was one more turtle who was missing from this picture.

"Umm where's Leo?" she asked innocently

"In the dojo maybe. Why?"

"Just wondering, I'm gonna go say hi."

"Oh, okay." Donnie's disappointed face went unnoticed by the girl and his brothers. April shaking the face from her mind and made her way to the dojo. The door was open and she watched the blue masked turtle do flips and kicks against Master Splinter. Sensei was far more experienced then his pupil and blocked everything Leo tried. However her blue eyes were focused solely on the turtle's muscular arms and the way they flexed as Leonardo wielded his katanas. Her face began to feel hot at the thoughts.

"You have improved my son."

"Thank you Sensei." Bowing to the rat as he disappeared to his room. Leonardo then continued to practice without Splinter. Something orange flashed past his vision. "April!?"

"Hi." she said meekly, suddenly feeling shy around her friend.

"What's up?"

"Not much. Could you show me that move you just did?" he was still panting by from his work out. He eyed the girl curiously. How long had she been there?

"Um, its a little too complicated for a beginner, no offence April."

"You think I can't handle it?"

"No I mean, well err, sorry but I've had years of training I don't want you to get hurt. I can show you some beginner stances first though." Rolling her eyes she agreed. Anything to get her mind off her father. Leo brought this sort of calmness for her. She felt happy when he was around. Leonardo crouched bringing his arms to his waist and bringing one leg to a 90 degree angle and the other stretched behind him. She followed his motion but her position just wasn't quite right. "That's close but your arms should be like this and your feet should be like this or else you can't strike." He stood behind the girl, wrapping his hands around her fists and bringing them to her torso. His foot stretching hers further apart. She felt her face get all warm again at his touch, her stomach got butterflies. April felt his breath on her neck as he was instructing her but she couldn't focus. Quickly she broke away and faced the turtle, both of their eyes went wide with confusion.

"I-I have to go" she ran out of the room leaving a very stunned Leonardo to himself. She ran into the kitchen to where she could be alone. What just happened?
