Part 1
April O'Neil walked out of Mr. Murakami's noodle shop. She figured that she should treat herself to some pizza gyoza. After all today was her birthday. About three blocks down she turned into an alley. She checked both ways to make sure nobody was looking. Lifting the cover off the manhole she jumped in.
Splash! She lands at the bottom of the sewer. The gunk beneath her feet makes her cringe, but she continues on. Taking a left she weaves through the maze of tunnels. Thoughts fill her head while she walks. "I hope the guys haven't gone too overboard with the party." She already knew the answer.
Meanwhile…
"Mikey, lift those streamers up a little higher." Donatello said from his position behind Michelangelo. "Okay Donnie!" He stretches his long green arm out and tapes the yellow streamer to a pole. In the process Raphael walks by, and sticks out his foot. It collides with the ladder and Michelangelo losses balance. Thud! The ladder falls to the floor.
"Hey, Raph so not cool." Mikey yells from his place on the floor. "Oh, did I do that? I'm so sorry bro. Here let me help you up." Raphael reaches out his hand and offers assistance. Then with a quick jerk his hand returns to his side. "As if little bro." he begins to laugh.
Michelangelo face turns red. He jumps up from his place on the floor and grabs Raphael. The two begin fighting until Donatello steps in. "Guys stop fighting. April is supposed to be here at five o'clock. We haven't even gotten the place half way ready yet!" He stands in front of the two turtles, his face red with anger.
"Donnie's right, you two can tear each other apart after the party." Leonardo turns around from his place in the kitchen. The whole family had decided to pitch in and throw April a seventeenth birthday party. To them April was family and her birthday was something to celebrate.
Donatello pulls out a clip board and begins checking things off. "Okay, streamers are up, banner in hung. How's the cake looking Leo?" Leonardo removes the cake from the oven. A heavenly smell is released. "Cakes done, just has to be frosted." Donatello checks off the one more box.
"Okay, presents. Oh, man I knew I forgot something!" He turns to Raphael and Michelangelo who finally finished putting up the streamers. "Did you guys get April a present?" They look at each other. "No dude we thought you were going to do that." Now what was he going to do?
Donatello had less than thirty minutes to find April a birthday present. He returns to his lab and begins creating a present to give to April. With ten minutes to spare he finishes. He wraps it in shiny gold paper and attaches a card. He thinks to himself "Hope she likes this."
Right when he steps out of his lab, April enters. "Hey birthday girl!" Mikey yells at the top of his lungs. "Happy Birthday April!" All the turtles say together. "Oh thank you guys. This is so sweet of you." Her eyes are drawn around the lair. They return to Donatello who was trying to hide Aprils present. "What's that?" Donatello pulls the box out from behind his back. "It's a present, but you have to wait to open it." He smiles at her revealing his gapped teeth.
