Hello my beautiful readers! I have bunches of people to thank in this chapter. First off, I thank purplefern for the suggestions of Daylight by Maroon 5 and Bubbly by Colbie Caillat. Then, I thank lillyboo18 (finally! a guest I can call by name, instead of 'guest who...' ) for the suggestions of Fifteen by Taylor Swift, Love Somebody by Maroon 5, and Fallin' for you. I wasn't sure if you meant the version by R5, or by Grace Phipps, so I did both. Then, thank you hannah1 for the suggestion of more Taylor Swift (looks like you got your wish) but more specifically, Our Song.

Love somebody by Maroon 5

He studied her, as she for what seemed the millionth time buried her face in her hands and lightly cried. He had visited her for the past three weeks at night, and she was still inconsolable about the loss of her father. Not that he blamed her in anyway; she still must be absolutely devastated. He could feel how she felt. She was consumed with finding her father, to the point of feeling little to no other emotion, like she was hollow.

She'd never believe him, even if he told her the truth. It'd be a tough one to swallow, but it was already too late. He had been missing love from a female his entire life, and he was already tumbling head-first in love with April. He was never going to be the same. There was no way on earth that he'd ever recover from his feelings for her. He was half way to being full-blown in love. A little more time with her might bring him all the way, and he really wanted to love somebody.

Begin again by Taylor Swift

She took a deep breath and looked at her outfit. It was her first date from after breaking up with Casey, and she was nervous. She glanced down at her feet. Casey always hated it when she wore high-heels; it made her look taller than him, but she loved them.

She made sure to lock the door before she left her house and put her head phones in. The Scientist by Coldplay was playing. Casey always told her he didn't understand this song, and thought it was stupid, but she liked it.

She was heading down to the lair; the guys had set her up on a 'blind date' although she had no idea who it could possibly be with. They didn't know too many people. When she arrived, she was surprised to see Donnie waiting for her, a small, hand-made metal table set in the kitchen with an old sheet draped over it for a table cloth. He nervously fiddled with his mask before jumping up to welcome her.

He pulled her chair out and helped her sit down, and they made small talk. She couldn't help but think how sweet it was; Shredder had probably been more of a gentleman than Casey had been to her during their relationship. Splinter appeared for a short time, just long enough to bring them each a coffee and a plate of pound cake.

She must have said something that was funny, because he tossed his head back, laughing like a child. She couldn't help but stare at him in shock. Casey had never though she was funny.

This was surprisingly... nice. For the past eight months, her love for Casey had done nothing but to break her, hurt her feelings, and end her relationships with other people, but on a Wednesday, in this make-shift café, it was starting to begin again.

Daylight by Maroon 5

They were both bloody fools. It was the last night April had before she had to leave for college in L.A. With practiced ease, he climbed his way up to her balcony, and slipped in though her already open window.

He could see her eyes drooping with fatigue, but she'd made the effort to stay up; just for him. Wordlessly, he sat down next to her, and she flung herself into his arms. She was so beautiful, even in her sorrow. He could hear her soft sobs and occasional hiccups as she buried her face into his plastron.

They were both so stupid. They'd only started to acknowledge their feelings to one another a month ago, and they still hadn't made a proper confession yet. They'd known that this day was would come soon, but they were blinded and caught off guard. Time was not on their side. The black sky was fading into dawn, and the stars were disappearing.

He was probably just being stupid. It was masochistic for him to keep holding onto her. Scientifically speaking, it would hurt worse the longer he stayed, but he couldn't get enough of the scent of her skin, the moonlight reflecting in her eyes, and the sad, soft smile she looked up at him with. She may be like this tonight, but that held no guarantees for when she was away from him, and with humans at college. She'd probably fall in love with one of them, and forget about him. He would be back where he started; alone. Who knew when they would see each other again? In the worst case scenario, about four years. In the best case scenario, or at least, one that involved her still going to college, a few months.

Finally, he could procrastinate it no longer. He released his embrace. and slipped over to the window. She looked at him with longing eyes, and he whispered, "I'll wait for you, even if it takes forever."

She nodded, and finally laid down to sleep. He stole one last glance to keep with him always, as a memory.

*.*.*.*

An unexpected impact woke him up. It wasn't heavy, by no means, but it was surly unexpected. His eyes flew open, and he knew he was dreaming. His April, his beautiful, lovely April, was sitting on his chest. "I'm home," She whispered. 'And I love you." This time, she leaned down to kiss him.

He gasped for air after several moments of kissing. "I love you too. What happened to college? It's only been a year." A long, painful year, he thought to himself.

"They're letting me take all of my classes online." She leaned down to kiss him once more. He breathed an internal sigh of relief; she hadn't forgotten him after all.

Bubbly by Colbie Caillat

She was blissfully unaware that he was staring at her. She was too absorbed in watching Raph and Mikey play an intense video game. The soft sound of rain on the surface could be heard, but they were nice and dry in the cozy lair. It was even fairly warm, but it was nothing compared to the heat in his belly and cheeks when she was around.

He just loved the way that she made him feel. The tingly sensation spread through his entire body, and always made him smile. He hoped she was going to stay for a long time, not just today, but for the rest of her life. She made him feel like a humming bird's wings had replaced his heart, and he had a bubbly stomach.

Fifteen by Taylor Swift

The words echoed in her ears while he stared at her with wide, fearful eyes. "April, I'm not quiet sure how to say this, but I love you, and always will."

How could he even know what love was? They were only fifteen, for crying out loud! But Donnie had never lied to her before, and she doubted he'd ever start. He looked so innocent with his worried expression and anxious eyes. She had to believe him; there was no room for doubt. The only question was, did she love him? She didn't know what love was, and she sure didn't know if she felt it for Donnie, but he made her heart skip a beat and flutter in her chest. She really couldn't imagine her life without him, so she said the only thing she could. "I love you, too."

Fallin' for you by R5

She had so many little habits that she though no one noticed, but he did. She would always wait for her pizza to go cold before she ate it, and on nights when she stayed over, she liked to swim in the clean water pool, especially when the moon was full. He also noticed she always seemed afraid that they would all disappear one day, not that she ever said anything. he wished he could tell her that no matter what she did, he'd always be there. She could change her hair to any style, or wear what she thought to be the ugliest clothes, go and splash around in puddles while it was raining, or even try going by a different name, and he wouldn't care, because he was falling for her, and everything that she did. She was absolutely one of a kind, and he would trade the world to call her his.

Fallin ' for you by Grace Phipps

Some times she like to think about the day that her father was taken. It had been so ordinary. Nothing had happened to even have given the slightest premonition that a tragedy would soon unfold. Wait, she corrected herself. A group of guys did try to hit on me when we were at the science fair. She thought. That should have been the first sign.

She should have known something catastrophic was going to happen the day she actually got hit on, not that they were suave. She wasn't the type to fall for a flashy smile, or a few well played words. She looked for personality, and a good heart.

Speaking of a good heart, she was starting to realize that a certain someone might have feelings for her, and she couldn't stand to break such a perfectly good heart. Donnie was so sweet, and so nice, but she didn't know how she felt. It was painfully obvious that he had a crush on her, and she could hardly ignore it any longer. For some reason, that made her feel like she had butterflies in her stomach, and put a smile to her lips. No, she couldn't ignore him for too much longer, but she had a hunch she was falling for him as well and if she did, she knew he would always be there to catch her in his strong arms.

Our song by Taylor Swift

He'd finally worked up the nerve to ask her out, not officially, just a 'you wanna go see something cool?', but she knew better. In his mind, this was a date, and to be honest, it was in her mind too.

So here they were, perched up on the tallest skyscraper in New York. She had let her hair out of its usually ponytail, and she stared intently at Donnie to figure out what he was doing. It looked like he was fiddling with some wires, when he said "Yes! Here we go." And lifted a strange device to the sky.

She let out a startled gasp as she realized what it was. Donnie had set up a screen above them, and he motioned for her to lay on her back. Almost lazily, he pointed the device at a different spot, then used his other hand to point to the screen.

"See, there's the Big Dipper, which is apart of Ursa Major," He swiveled the device so she could see the rest of the constellation. It was some sort of a telescope, but instead a seeing stars through a lens, you could see them on the screen above them.

"It's so beautiful, Donnie. I've never seen so many stars." She turned to him and whispered.

"Neither have I." He whispered right back. "This was it's trial run."

She propped herself up on her elbow, and leaned into him. He leaned back, but at the last moment, turned his head to whisper in her ear, "I'm glad you like it."

Damn it, She thought. I wanted him to kiss me.

She sighed, and turned back to enjoy the show. She remembered that the guys probably didn't know that Donnie was out, and her dad and aunt sure didn't know that she was gone. It made things kind of exciting, with the fear of being caught. Her aunt wouldn't be happy, but she could just about see the smug look on her dad's face if he knew she was out stargazing with Donnie.

They continued to stargaze, with Donnie pointing out all of the constellations to her, until the sun was almost up. Donnie brought her back to her house, and then hurried back to the lair.

She went to lay down, just to get a few hours of sleep, but she spotted the bouquet of roses sitting on her desk. The tag read, To April: I hope you had a good time, maybe we could go out again another time? -Donnie.

She squinted at the writing. It definitely wasn't Donnie's handwriting. He wrote with a tiny, cursive scrawl. This was like rough, messy chicken-scratches on the paper, which she was pretty sure was either Raph's or Mikey's. Even if Donnie had changed his handwriting, there was no way he would have been able to deliver the bouquet himself. Maybe the other turtles weren't as unaware as she thought. Oh well. I'd definitely be willing to play this day again. The only thing we didn't do was find our song, but we have plenty of time for that.

It's done! Just to let you know, Our Song is set some time after her dad was rescued. Now, who's all excited for Booyakasha Showdown?! I know I am. I've literally fangirled over the fact that April looks at Donnie and says 'You're my hero' and he giggles and blushes , in one of the commercials for it. Also, I squealed quite a bit during another commercial where Donnie and April are dancing together. Be sure to let me know what you think in the reviews!
