Hello my gorgeous readers! I've got a bunch of people to thank for inspiration on this chapter. First off, I would like to thank purplefern for suggesting Ours by Taylor Swift and Love Bug by the Jonas Brothers, and Dragonblooded for suggesting Sure be cool if you did by Blake Shelton, although I haven't thought of anything for Song 2 by Blur. To the guest who asked me to do a songfic for Sound the Bugle, I need time to mull over how I'll do that. It'll either be its own chapter or a separate fic, and just a warning, if I write a songfic for that, only snippets of the lyrics would be included. I'll tell you, Ours has a couple scenarios, simply because I felt so inspired by it. I don't and never will own TMNT, the songs, or the artists mentioned. Anyways, here's the next chapter!

Ours by Taylor Swift (#1 )

It was right after the nightly patrol when he had decided to go and see April or at least, he was planning to. That was before he saw her in her room, playing some song on the piano and singing. Not wanting to get caught, he decided to perch on an adjacent rooftop and watched her from a distance. Not in a stalker-ish way, more like a silent protector kind of way.

Just face it, you're a stalker, his rationality whispered at him, but he choose to ignore it. He sat and watched her for quiet some time before curiosity started to gnaw away at him. What was she singing?

He could suppress his curiosity no longer. Like the ninja he was, he crept darted from rooftop to rooftop until he was balanced on the roof right above her room. Lucky for him, her window was open and you could hear everything she was doing.

She played a soft melody accompanied by lyrics "It's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong, and, your hands are tough, but they are where, mine be-long and I'll fight their doubt and give you faith, with this song, for you. 'Cause I love the gap be-tween you teeth, and I love the riddles that you speak." Her voice seemed to soften to a whisper by the end of the line, but she resumed singing stronger. "Any snide remarks about you will be ig-nored, 'cause my heart is yours."

She stopped singing altogether, and started talking to herself. "If only I could tell Donnie how I feel. Oh, Taylor Swift, describing every girl's life problems one song at a time. "

He fainted right then and there. When he woke up, he decide must have fallen asleep on the roof and that it must have been some crazy dream. Little did he know, it actually happened.

Ours by Taylor Swift (#2 )

She could feel their eyes boring into her as she rode the elevator up, and she tried her best to ignore them. She glanced down, the ring on her finger clearly visible and sparkling in the artificial light. After far too long, the elevator reached the floor that she needed on and she stepped out. Every set of eyes turned to look at her as she walked to her office.

She knew what they were thinking. 'Here comes the boss's wife'. Her and her husband, Donnie owned a company together. Since it was impossible for him to be present in the office, or even a office lab, he stayed at home and invented while she acted more like a CEO. The company flourished with her business skills and Donnie's wonderful inventions on the market, but their workers started to wonder what happened to her husband, not that they'd ever seen him, of course.

The lie that they'd been fed was that her husband had been an average looking guy, but brilliant scientist and inventor, before a horrible in his lab disfigured him to the point of no recognition shortly after they were married. They were told that despite the fact he looked so different, she still loved him, and they started their own company. She acted like the head, and he was the support behind her.

They seemed to buy it at first, but over the years, they became dissatisfied. Surely someone had to show their face at their own company after eight years. Some of the guys thought that she was just using having a husband as an excuse so she wouldn't have to go out with anyone. Others thought that because her husband was disfigured, she would be willing to cheat. They were all wrong, and they probably would never get to see her husband.

It may have been unorthodox, it might have been difficult, but she was dedicated to her Donnie and they love that they shared was theirs.

Love bug by Jonas Brothers

"Hey guys! How do I look?" April asked, studying herself in a mirror. "I want to look good for my cousin's wedding."

She was gorgeous. She was wearing a lovely lavender, knee-length trumpet dress with embellishments right around the waistline. Her hair was slightly wavy, pulled back from her face with a small flower clip and she wore only a touch of makeup. He hadn't seen anything more beautiful, ever. He was just absolutely breathless and couldn't speak. She was sending him over the edge. He was sure that she had to be his other half, but she just seemed so far away, out of his league.

"Pick your jaw off of the ground." Raph hissed in his ear.

"You look perfect." He finally responded.

"Really?" Her smile lit up the room. He wanted to remember that smile forever. It made her eyes even more beautiful than they were.

"Yes." He smiled a bit.

She looked back at the mirror. "Are you sure I don't need any more make-up?"

"No, you don't need make up. Natural is a good look for you." For once, he felt kind-of confident. She was just so modest, and he loved it.

"Thanks Donnie!" She leaned up onto her tip toes and pecked his cheek. He could feel his face light up like a neon sign. He was once again mute and couldn't figure out how to make his lungs work again. It was a perfect kiss, even if it was only on the cheek.

"Ok, I've got to leave for that wedding now. Bye guys!" She called over her shoulder as she left.

"Someone's caught the love bug!" All three of his brothers teased.

Sure be cool if you did by Blake Shelton

There was absolutely no way for him to deny it; he was tumbling head over heels in love with April O'Neil. Every thing that she did pulled him in closer. Every smile, every hug, every word, drove him wild.

This time, they were having a little party at the lair, and she was sipping on some sort of pink lemonade. She was going on about something he wasn't sure of. There would be no way she could make him a bigger mess; She had already knocked him dead with the first look. He felt like his sense of reason and logic was just falling apart and his heart was speaking for him.

He wished they could go, be alone for a bit, and be away from his brothers, who constantly butt in on their conversation. She'd never see a reason to do that, though, and he was willing to do anything she wanted to.

"Hey Donnie, you wanna go outside for a second and get some fresh air?" April asked.

He snapped out of his thoughts. "It'd sure be cool if we did."


YAY! I got the next chapter up. Let me know what you think in the reviews!
