A/N: Hello again, children. Sorry it took so long to update; I'm still getting back into the game. Oh and I've decided that this will not be a three-shot, but an actual chapter story. So if you don't want to deal with a chapter story (cause I know I just don't feel like it sometimes), then you can leave and I will forgive you :)

When April had woken the next morning, she had been alone. Her back felt cold without him cuddling up behind her and his strong arms wrapped around her; she yearned for him to appear through the door, offering breakfast. However, he had left, so she simply lifted herself from the bed and enclosed a robe around her shaking, naked body.
Entering the living room, she saw that the window was open, the curtains fluttering wildly as wind came through. Glancing around, she saw that the only particles of clothing on the floor were her own; Don must have grabbed his as he left. The redhead scooped up her scattered clothes and tossed them into her room and onto her messy bed. She wandered over to the window and gazed out at the rising sun. April watched the great city of New York wake up and begin it's busy day, picking up where it left off last night. She closed her eyes as a soft morning breeze caressed her face. She crossed her legs and concentrated; Splinter had been teaching her the art of meditation: the method of seeing inside one's very own soul. The redhead tried to imagine her life without Casey and the results surprised her. She expected it to be full of despair and pain, regretting what she had done. But it wasn't. Quite the opposite, actually. Instead of despair, she saw hope. Instead of pain, she saw happiness. Instead of regret, she saw contentment. There was also something else in her vision, something nearly impossible to see. It was blurry like an unfocused camera and April strained to see what it was. A smear of purple swept across her sight. Purple? What could -
She jumped as a loud knock sounded on the door and the redhead's eyelids shot open, vision perishing in a flash. Standing, she made sure the robe was covering her properly before crossing the room and opening the door. She froze from shock at the sight of him, though she knew she shouldn't be that surprised.
Casey Jones shifted nervously in front of her. A beautiful bouquet of rhododendrons switched from one sweaty palm to the other. She found herself quite surprised that he remembered her favorite flower. "Uh...hey," he scratched the back of his head with one hand as he outstretched the flowers with his other. "These are for you." She took them silently with a small nod of her head. April smelled them briefly before looking back at the twitchy man.
"I..uh...Well-" he stopped to heave an almost inaudible sigh. "Look, April, I thought about what ya said last night, about choosin' which one I'd take. I thought about it long an' hard. I tried to imagine my life without bein' a vigilante. To be honest, it looked a bit dull. Dull, but bearable. Then, I tried to imagine my life without ya an' it was jus'...terrible. It seemed empty of life an' promise an' hope an' I realized I can't live without ya! Yer my whole life! If I were ta lose ya...damn, April, I just can't imagine the loneliness an' pain."
April stood there, absolutely speechless as the large man dropped to one knee and pulled a beautiful, sparkling diamond ring out of his pocket. "I know it's real sudden and whatnot, but I love you. So, April Marie O'Neil, will you marry me?"
A/N: I'll announce who guessed right on what the device was when the time comes. Be patient, my children, be patient. Also, I don't know April's middle name and I thought Marie fit, so whateves..
Now, go review and I shall give you a sticker! :D
