Hello my amazing readers, I know it's been over a month since I last updated, but in my defense, this chapter is literally ten pages long on Word, not double spaced. I've finally gotten up to date on all requests. To guest who requested sound the bugle, that will probably end up being its own separate one shot, and whoever requested safe and sound, I'm planning on using that one in my 'Resistance is Futile' fic, if you want to read it when it gets put in there. I want to thank everyone who requested a song (there's too many to name you all), and Enjoy!

Whispers in the dark by Skillet

He was a shadow in the dark, waiting for that fool to slip up. One day, he'd hurt April, and he'd step out and comfort her, sweep her off of her feet. He'd lavish her with gifts, and prove he was better for her. She'd see the light, he was sure of it. Until then, she'd just continue lying to herself. He should be the one holding her, not him. He was already the one she came running to. It was only a matter of time.

Until that day, he would be waiting for her. She would never be alone. Although he couldn't be with her during the daytime, when the night came, would show her the stars in the light-polluted New York City. She'd probably never see him there, but she'd hear the trace of his whispers from when he left to escape daylight.

Dancing crazy by Miranda cosgrove

Donnie was just too shy sometimes. She'd liked him for what felt like forever, and she was pretty she wasn't going to like anyone else. She felt like she was super obvious about it, but apparently, she wasn't. If that was the case, she wouldn't be standing here by herself at the dance party. Everyone else but
Donnie and her were out there busting a move, even Splinter.

Gathering up her courage, she pulled Donnie out onto the makeshift dance floor, and started dancing, hoping she didn't look too awkward. Donnie fortunately started dancing as well, and while their moves were a little unorthodox, it felt natural for them.

Thinking aloud, she murmured, "I like you so much Donnie."

He stopped in his tracks and turned a red to rival her hair. "You do?"

Blushing as well, she leaned in and pecked him on the lips. "Does that answer your question."

"Ahaha." Donnie giggled awkwardly as he swooned and fainted.

"Donatello looks like he's had fun tonight." Master splinter observed from over her shoulder.

She nearly jumped out of her skin, then blushed even deeper for being found out by Splinter. She had no clue where this was going to go with Donnie, but she definitely knew she wanted to find out.

Gone Gone Gone by Philips Philips

Her wish was his command. When ever she needed anything, he'd be there, whether she needed a brother, a friend, or a lover. He'd use any means necessary to make her whole again, even if it meant stealing pieces from himself. He'd walk a thousand miles, carrying her with ease, and lay her suffering on his own shoulders if it meant lessening her pain.

If only he could make himself believe she'd do the same. He'd do it all for her, and even after she'd found someone else and was long gone, he'd still wouldn't have moved one. If she was with him, she'd never sleep alone, and he'd love her long after she was gone.

Hadn't he already proved his devotion moments after he met her? He caught her as she plummeted to almost certain death, and saved her. When she was heart broken and crying her eyes out over her father, he had attempted to put back the pieces of her shattered heart.

He had long surrendered his heart to her, and she had unknowingly done some of the same things for him. She was his support, his drive and motive. She encouraged him, and stood up for him. She drove him onward, was all that he really needed. His heart was beating for her.

Home by Philips Philips.

Hands down, the happiest day of his life was when he got to take his new bride back to a small, slightly run down country house he had bought online. Things sure would be difficult, and more often than not, life would be uncertain. No matter what, he knew that she would stay by his side. Armed with that fact, he would do absolutely anything and everything to make this abandoned house a warm and cozy home for April, himself, and their unborn daughter.

Love in America by JTX

America, home of the brave and land of the free. Why shouldn't it apply to their love? Sure, they couldn't do conventional things, but when it was night time, any thing could go. Once, they had driven around in April's car, with the top down, through the pouring rain. He couldn't take her to a bar, or a club, but there was a personal party just for them at the lair. He'd pour her a drink, and they'd dance all night. Disco, pop, metal, country; it didn't matter.

One of their favorite things to do was sneak out to the suburbs and watch what few stars there were in the sky fade to dawn. They'd never be accepted, but hell if that'd ever stop them.

Super love Shane Dawson

He was, as Leo would say, 'sulking' in his lab, desperately trying to think of ways to win over April. He was running out of time, and needed to save her from a life with that Casey. He was no good for her, and brought her down, not up. Whether she knew it or not, she had no reason to fear. He would be her hero. He knew deep in his gut that something was wrong with Casey; he was dangerous. He'd be watching, but it was only a matter of time before Casey hurt her.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a superhero, otherwise he would have already saved the day, and she'd be his. His fight for her would be a fight for the rest of his life. There was no way he would ever allow himself to lose; he'd never give up or back down.

Until he figured out a way, he'd keep saving her, keep proving himself to her, and keep loving her; always loving her.

Lessons in love Neon Trees

Every time she came his way, he instantly panicked. After the panic always came the adrenaline, almost like a temporary high, heightening his senses. It was an endless cycle, repeating its self every day, to never end. The odds weren't in his favor, this wasn't how things were supposed to work. Somewhere, in an unwritten handbook on the moral code of human society, was a rule about how it was wrong for different species weren't supposed to be together. He hadn't ever been very good at following rules, and for the sake of his sanity, he pretended that he was a fool.

He wondered how she couldn't see it. All of his brothers teased him about 'how his eyes lit up' every time he saw her. He could never deny it; he was falling for her. The worst part was, he could never figure out quite what to say. Everything always seemed off.

Eventually, he learned a few basics: Act cool, pretend to be tough, but always be honest. The affection he held for her in his youth would never change. April still came around to hang out some nights, so he was only truly lonely when the lights where on, and it was daylight. Despite having not won her over yet, she had unintentionally taught him lessons in love. One of these days, he'd master them.

Everybody talks by Neon Trees

If she would just look his way, he might be able to win her over. Some days he thought he had made progress, but later wondered if he was just overthinking things. Then, he heard a whisper from the other turtles that she might like him back. That's when he gathered up his courage, and kissed her. Much to his surprise, she bit him; drew blood, even.

Currently, she was still not talking to him. He was sure she'd get over it and understand eventually. In the mean time, he'd wait until she'd cooled down before he went and apologized. Everybody loves to talk about who they're sure is going to get together, and most of the time, they're right. He never thought he'd ever see the day when those whispers got in the way of a relationship.

Glad you came by The Wanted

She cast a spell on him in those first few moments of seeing her. The sky could have fallen on his head, and he wouldn't have noticed. That's when he knew she was the only one he wanted to be his girlfriend. A million different scenarios ran through his head as how to convince her. Once involved dancing, another involved a candle lit dinner, and the list went on.

The only thing left to do was figure out how to talk her into giving him a chance, and just spend a little time with him. The sun was down, and the stars where technically out, and he knew he'd only have now to make his move. Coincidentally, they got attacked, so he had an excuse.

...

It had been months since that attack, and he was definitely glad that he had found April. He could only hope she felt the same way about him.

Dirty little secret by All American Rejects

She flopped back onto her bed after a very eventful day. Donnie had finally, and very shakily, asked her to be his girlfriend. She had accepted, but it was going to be difficult. The other guys would relentlessly harass them about it, and her family and friends could never know, and if they did, they certainly wouldn't approve. The only ones who might even remotely approve would be their fathers, but then her dad would probably feel the need to 'talk' to Donnie, and mortify her to death in the process.

"Oh well." She sighed. "I guess this can be our secret for a little while longer.

Fire work by Katy Perry

Donnie was just as fragile as he was strong. She could see he was the one who was put down the most by their 'disadvantage.' She assumed it was because he would never truly be able to contribute to the scientific community in the way he wanted. She also noticed his self-esteem was knocked down. He constantly put himself down.

If only he could see what she saw. He had so much potential, all he had to do was tap into it. The only reason things were so difficult for him, was that he believed them to be. She knew that one day, he'd pick the right path, hopefully with her with him.

TGIF by Katy Perry

She rolled over, and found herself cuddled into bed with Donnie. She vaguely remembered it was Saturday morning, and they had, had a fairly impressive party. Splinter had been gone, and almost everyone had gotten drunk, herself and Donnie included. They did some pretty weird things, and someone had a 'smart' idea, and they ended up playing truth or dare. Raph had to skinny dip in the sewer water. Leo had to make a prank phone call to Karai, and see how long he could keep her from knowing it was him. Mikey had to scream from a roof 'I love Justin Bieber' and Donnie and she, well, they got dared to make out. She was pretty sure that's how she got here. Glancing at her wrist, she noticed a dark, purple spot. 'Is that a hicky, or a bruise?' She wondered.

With a sigh, she looked at Donnie. He was still fast asleep, and she knew there was going to be a ton of confusion later that day, but if something like this happens again next Friday night; she'd do it all again.

Smile by Avril Lavigne

She just loved that Donnie knew exactly how crazy she was, and loved her anyways. She could be cranky, moody, and emotional, and he wouldn't care. He even indulged her in some of her not-so-smart ideas. Like the time she wanted to see who could hold their breath under water for the longest. She ended up passing out, and Donnie had to rescue her.

Donnie had stolen her heart, and was completely at fault, but she wouldn't have it any other way.

Jaw Drop by Cash Cash

That first day he saw her, he was absolutely stunned. She was his definition of perfect. His stood there, awestruck, before one of the guys had snapped him out of it. She'd made his jaw drop clear to the floor, and still did, even after twenty years of marriage.

1234 by Plain White T's

"April, there's been something I've been meaning to tell you for quite some time."

"What is it, Donnie?" She asked slightly worried.

"There's only one thing, two do, three words, four you; I love you." He finished with a shy smile.

She rolled her eyes and grinned. "Donnie, you are such a cornball, quoting song lyrics."

"I know."

Hey Delilah by Plain White T's

'Donnie, how's New York City?" She'd ask in her letters, and he'd always tell her that it was still beautiful, but even a thousand miles away, she was still much more beautiful. Things were rough, but as soon as he figured out a way to sell his inventions, or start a company, they'd be rich. It'd just be two more years until she was out of school, and he'd have made history with new technology.

She will be loved by Maroon Five

"Mr. O'Neil, sir." He asked timidly.

"What is it, Donatello?" April's father responded curiously.

He took a deep breath and mentally prepared himself. "Your daughter and I have been dating for well over five years now, and I know it's old fashioned, but it would mean the world to me if you gave me your blessing to ask for April's hand in marriage."

"Do you promise me that you will love her forever, and make sure she is taken care for?"

"She will be loved and taken care of, sir. I vow it."

"Good. Now, if you break that vow, I will cheerfully skin you, hollow you out, make turtle soup and mount your shell on my wall. Understand?"

He gulped. "Yes sir."

His face lightened up. "Good, now go knock yourself out, son. Good luck."

Goodnight Goodnight by Maroon Five

Cinema by Skrillex

He had no clue what made her life so fascinating to him, but it was. Even the most trivial of things about her life held his interest. Like, what was her favorite color? What were her friends like? What did she want to do with her life? What was her favorite food? It was almost as her life was the best movie he had ever seen. She never failed to take him by surprise. If her life were a movie, he'd never stop watching.

Rhythm of Love by Plain White T's

"Donnie, are you ever going to get your head out of the clouds and stop daydreaming?" She asked frustrately.

"Ah, but where would I be with out a little hope and fantasy? I certainly wouldn't have had the courage to keep going after you, mon amour." He replied airily.

"Oh I'm sure you would have." She scoffed.

"No, probably not. I'm a chicken." He joked as he pulled her in for a kiss. Her beautiful ocean blue eyes closed, and she chuckled against his lips. The beautiful music of her voice was perfect for the melody of their love.

Dance dance by Fall Out Boy

April often joked about how horrible she was with words, saying she was more of an action person. If only she knew just how much worse he was with words. Most of the time, he could barely stutter out a 'hello' or some corny joke. He felt like he was falling apart some days, but he managed to hold it together. It seemed like Aphrodite had some twisted love story laid out for him, because his love life was miserable. Maybe she'd throw him a bone and let him get the girl... eventually.

Your love is my drug by Kesha

She was addicted to him, that's for sure. He was on her mind all day, and in her dreams all night. All of her friends were telling her that she needed to stop spending so much time with 'some guy', but it was no use. A guy like Donnie was one of a kind. She didn't care what anyone had to say about their relationship, the benefit far out weighted any slight price she had to pay to be with him. Social acceptation wasn't a big concern to her. His love was her drug, and hers was his, so it didn't really matter anyways.

Lucky by (Glee)

He couldn't have been any luckier to have fallen in love with his best friend. She supported him, and he did the same for her. Things were comfortable, and natural. There were times when they couldn't see each other, like when April went to college, or when he had to go on extra-long missions, but they waited for each other. He personally would have waited until the end of time for April. Some people just didn't realize how powerful true love was. They were definitely lucky, because she was his paradise, and he was hers.

Dreaming of you by Selena

She and Donnie were walking together on the roof tops, and she was on cloud nine. He was even holding her hand! Maybe he actually liked her after all. She knew she'd get to him eventually. He could go on and on about how he didn't ever think that he'd have romantic feelings for someone, but what was happening now definitely contradicting his words.

Her heart stopped when he leaned down, seemingly to kiss her. She closed her eyes, and reached up on her tip toes, anxiously waiting...

She awoke with a start, and looked around to see the familiar surroundings of her room. "Oh." She murmured to her self. "Of course I was only dreaming. He'd never like me that way in real life."

Heart Attack by Demi Lovoto

She immediately started putting walls up when she met him. The absolute worst thing that could happen to her would be falling in love. If she ever actually did, it'd certainly be a shock to her. She had never really cared for any of the guys she dated, nor had she ever when ever gone after anyone quite like Donnie.

When she didn't care about a guy, she could have him at her feet, awaiting her command. It was low maintenance; she didn't feel the need to do her make up, her hair, or pick out a dressy outfit. But with him, she wanted to impress him, remind him that she was indeed a girl, whether it was by painting her nails, wearing high heels, or spraying on a little perfume.

She glowed around him, but she did everything she possibly could to hide it. There was no way she'd ever let him know, and ruin their friendship. As it was, every time he came around, she was paralyzed, and in every futile attempted to 'be herself' around him, she'd just made herself seem desperate.

This game she was playing was bound to backfire. Staying close while keeping distant, and trying to cover up her feelings would never work in the long run. One of these times, she would play it too close, and get burned. She better build up those walls, and put an iron lock around her heart, because love seemed closer than ever possible.

Let Me Love You by Neyo

He hated the way she put herself down. She never believed him when he told her all of the wonderful things about herself. If she would just tell him all her troubles, he would find a way to solve them.

There was always pain in her gaze, now of days. It had been there for a while, ever since her break up with Casey. He really wanted to be the one to remind her how to smile. If only she would let him love her; then she'd know just how beautiful she was.

You can David by Archuletta

He never thought he'd be the one of his brothers to fall in love, but it seemed that's how it was going to happen. If any one could make him fall in love, it was her. The only thing that held him back was the question 'Could she love me back?' She saved him from himself, and if he had it his way, those nights he spent with her talking would never end, but they always did.

Something bout love David Archuletta

Loving her was the greatest pleasure and pain he had ever known. There was just something about it that brought him to his knees and broke his heart, but he still believed, and still hoped. It was a rollercoaster, and that rollercoaster was the ride of his life. Sure, there were low points, but the high points and thrill made up for it. There were sometimes, he tried to stop, but he couldn't help himself. He continued to love her everyday.

Barriers David Archuletta

April had so many barriers up. Every time he thought he had cleared the last one, another one was in place. He'd been trying to win her heart for years, and he was starting to believe it was a pointless cause. This whole thing was starting to feel too dragged out. There had been countless tears, and heartaches for him, but as he was sitting here with her, he knew he would never give up on loving her, even if it felt like it hurt too much.

Kiss me or not by Thomson Square

It was the best party ever. They'd just defeated the kraang, and life was good. Eventually, a slow song came on, and the rest of the crew just waited for it to end. Much to his surprise, April pulled him out onto the dance floor, and attempted to get him to dance, while he stood there in shock.

Looking up at him, she growled frustratedly, "Are you gonna kiss me or not, Donnie?" She didn't even wait for his answer, and kissed him herself.

Dancing away with my heart by Lady Antebellum

It was on her senior prom when he snuck out and found the courage to ask her to dance. The music was soft and slow, and he was beyond surprised when she agreed. It was a little awkward, and more than a bit clumsy, but they eventually just stood still and swayed back and forth to the rhythm, hidden in a deserted section of the school's garden.

Things couldn't have been more perfect. The moon was shining overhead, and April had even put her head on his shoulder. In that moment, he wished with all he had that the song never end. Eventually, she looked up at him, and hesitantly, he brushed her bangs out of her eyes. She'd leaned up on her tip toes, and closed her eyes. Shyly, he leaned down, and kissed her.

The morning afterwards, she got a letter; she'd been accepted into Harvard's school of law, with a full scholarship. April had always loved to argue. It made sense that she'd want to be a lawyer. She had to leave almost immediately, and he had barely spoken to her sense. With full time college, and a part time job, she had a lot on her plate.

She was often the topic of his thoughts. He couldn't help but wonder if she missed him, or if she was just how he remembered her. For him, she'd always be eighteen, and beautiful. He also wondered if she knew that he'd lost so much when she left. On that one night, she had danced away with his heart. Now, he'd just have to wait and see if she came back with it.

I wish by One direction

April had gotten a boyfriend, and he was crushed. He died on the inside every time he saw them holding hands. The look she gave him, might have well been a stab to the heart for him. Why couldn't she ever look at him like that? He's tried to tell her how he feels, but every time he saw her, his pulse raced, and he was frozen. His tongue simply refused to speak those life-changing words.

It was even worse when he saw them doing things together, like dancing or hugging. It tore him apart, leaving a gaping hole, so painful he was surprised it wasn't physically there. He couldn't even be angry. The guy treated her just like he would. He looked at her with love, and did all of the things that he knew he could do for her. If only he could build a time machine and do something before she had fallen for this other guy.

April's walking past interrupted his ponderings, and he once again tried to speak. "Hey, April." He called timidly.

"Yeah, Donnie?" She turned to face him, and he was dismayed to see her boyfriend at her side.

The words died in his throat. "I just wanted to say, have fun on your date."

She smiled. "Thanks Donnie!"

As soon as she was out of ear shot, he whispered. "I love you." 'Oh, how I wish I was him." He thought.

More than this by One Direction

They would never be able to care for her as much as he did, no matter who she dated. She was his everything. He'd been trying to tell her how he felt, but it was a bit more than awkward when she was dating someone. It would never feel right to him. They don't comfort her like he would, they don't care for her like he does, and they definitely don't love her as much as he does.

Maybe if he screamed his feelings from the roof tops, she'd finally see him as an option. Whenever she was with him, he felt perfect. She was his salvation. On the flipside, every time he saw her with who ever was her boyfriend at the time, it was like his body failed, and his heart shattered. He knew he'd never have the right words to say, but in his mind, he was silently praying that she'd stay with him for a little while, because he could love her more than them.

You belong with me by Taylor Swift

He stayed with her through every heart break she had. He was the one she came running to. The one who she shared all of her secrets with, and the only one who could make her laugh when she was obviously on the verge of tears. All of the guys she dated were the 'cool' type. Like the ones who would be on the football team, or hold all of the parties, while he was a lonely nerd.

They'd never get her like he did. He knew her past, understood her humor, and like a lot of the same things she did. She constantly complained that she couldn't find the guy she was meant to be with. Maybe one day, she'd wake up and realize he was the right one all along.

Call me maybe by Carly Rae Jepson.

After he had managed to stifle most of her tears, she looked up at him with a sad smile. "Hey, it means a lot to me, Donnie, that you stayed here."

'No problem." He reassured. He was just happy to spend time with her, even if he had only met her hours before.

"Do you have a phone?" She asked unexpectantly

"Yeah..." He trailed off.

"Here," she ripped a sheet of paper out of her notebook and wrote something down on it. "It's my number. Would you mind calling me if you get anything else about my dad?"

"I will." He promised.

"You're the best, Donnie." She leaned over and quickly squeezed his shoulders. " 'Bye."

"Good night, April." He murmured as he slipped out the window. He jumped from roof to roof, until he was well out of earshot before he squealed. "I got her number!"

WHEW! That's finally over with. I expect to see plenty of reviews, since there was a buttload of stuff to comment on. Thank you for reading, and make sure you let me know what you think in the reviews, (Reviews inspire me, because I am a proud review-hog, and love hearing what you think :) ).
