CHAPTER 16: UNDER A STAR FILLED SKY PART 3.

When they returned to the Ninja Tribunal's castle, there was a big party with the whole city and the Turtles and co. had very fun. But after the party, April felt that she needed some fresh air, she needed some time for her to think. She went out and sat down on the green field outside the castle, which was lighted up by the white full moon.

She took a deep breath and sighed. In the end, April had admitted it to herself. She loved Donnie. Her friend feelings towards him had slowly changed into love and she hadn't noticed it until recently. April had to say it to him. But what if Donnie didn't feel the same? She looked up to the sky, which was watching serenely over her. It was filled with sparkling stars, just like that night at the balcony with him one year ago.

Donnie was sitting on the couch in the living room and was thinking about things. What if April never had heard what he had said some nights ago? Would he ever be able to confess his love to her again? And if April didn't feel the same? He needed Julie's help.

"Julie!" She looked up and walked to him.

"Yes, what is it Donnie?"

"I need to talk to you for a second alone, come with me…" Julie and the turtle went away from the others and Donnie said:

"Ehm…that night when I defeated Subaku, I…confessed my feelings to April…" Julie smiled filled with happiness and pride.

"WOW! And how did she react?"

"Well…I don't know…she was…sleeping."

"I knew it!"

"What? How?" He said surprised.

"April has told me that that night she dreamt a boy that confessed his feelings for her and I intuited that it could have been you!"

"So she heard me!" Donnie said triumphantly.

"Yes, but she doesn't know it was you who said those things! You need to tell her again! She's out on the grass field, go and get her boy! You can do it Donnie!" She smiled at him, and he felt some courage growing in his heart. Julie was right, he could do it! He went out to her.

April was watching the stars, which were reflected in her blue eyes, making them look like a star filled sky. Donnie sat down by her side.

"Hi!" He smiled at her.

"Hi! How are you?" She asked smiling back.

"Good thanks. I wanted to thank you for helping with Kazan. Without you, I wouldn't have won. You're amazing, April!" Donnie smiled again and April thanked him blushing a bit. She was so nervous, but she needed to tell him. April was just starting to talk, when suddenly Donnie talked some seconds before her:

"Ehm…April…Julie has told me about the dream you had some nights ago, and I wanted to tell you that…" His heart was beating hard and fast, but he was confident too.

"The boy who talked to you, that confessed his feelings…" April looked at him with curious eyes.

"Is me" There was a minute of silence. April couldn't believe what she just had heard. If Donnie was that boy from the dream, then it meant that…she was speechless. Donnie continued:

"I know that I will sound completely crazy, but this time I want to be completely sincere with you, April, and tell you how I really feel about you. From the first time I saw you, I have thought only about you. You entered immediately in my heart and you did never leave it. April, you are the reason why I live. Your smile, your good mood has lighted up my life since the very first time I've met you. Every time that I'm with you, I feel complete, serene and happy. I love you April. I love you so much and I'll always be there for you when you need me. Forever and always.

Now he had been 100% honest. The only thing he could do now was wait and hope.

April looked at him with sparkling eyes. Wow…then…Donnie loved her! She had hoped it so much! Even if she knew that their love was impossible, when she looked at Donnie, she felt that everything was possible, that she didn't need to worry. He surely knew it too, but he confessed his feelings anyway twice. And now it was her turn:

"Donnie…I…wanted to talk to you too. I wanted to tell you that…" She took a deep breath. She had to be honest too.

"At the beginning, you were a very precious friend to me, someone that always listened to his friends. I liked being with you, because you was always happy. But then, after our date, what I felt for you changed. I didn't want to admit it to myself, because I thought it would have been impossible to have a relationship. But then I understood too that it was inevitable, and that I needed to be honest to myself and with you. I can't hide my feelings anymore." She looked Donnie deeply in the eyes.

"I have fallen in love with you Donatello. You are a fantastic and sweet guy. I feel complete with you too, I have always felt compete being with you. You were the missing party of my soul, and now that I have found you, I'm complete. I love you Donnie. I love you very much and I want to be with you forever."

Donnie was so happy. He couldn't believe that the girl he had madly fallen in love with and who he never could have a chance with loved him too! The feeling was indesrivable.

"I want to be with you too April, and I will protect you and I'll be by your side forever. He hugged her and she hugged him back tightly. It was a unique moment. They remained silent, and then Donnie looked at April with sparkling adorable and curious eyes and said:

"So…what do we do know?" April laughed and said:

"I know! Come closer…" Donnie came closer. "A little bit more…"She added whispering softly. He came closer and April dragged him to her and kissed him joyfully on the lips. Donnie kissed her back with the same enthusiasm, and held her softly close to him. It was an amazing kiss. Both Donnie and April were so happy. Now they were together, and they would have been it forever, and they knew it. The looked at the star filled sky. Then, they walked in, holding hands.'
