Hey everyone, I back to bring you another chapter. BTW, I'm sooo sorry for the wait. I really don't like waiting that long to update but I had a bad case of writers block. Then one day in the middle of class, it came to me in a vision. I do not own TMNT, but I have not and never will give up, plus the creators escaped *Begins to sob*. Well, on with the chapter!
*11:00pm, New Year's Eve; Lair*
Donnie's P.O.V.
We were all sitting around the TV getting ready to watch the ball fall. It's something we did every year. Even though we didn't celebrate Christmas, New Year's Eve was something we did celebrate. It was the one night of the year Master Splinter would let us stay up past midnight when we were younger. Anyway we were sitting around talking until it was time.
"Sooo," Lizzy began followed by a laugh. "When are you gonna tell April about your feelings for her?" she finished. At that moment I could feel my cheeks grow warm.
"Oh look, he's blushing," I could hear Mikey say.
"W-why would y-you ask that?" I stammer turning to look at Lizzy.
"Well, I mean it's New Year's Eve so it might be romantic. Plus you like her and she… never mind," Lizzy faded off.
"She what?" I ask with a curiosity in my voice.
"Nothing," she replied crossing her arms and turning away with a smile on her face.
"Lizzy, tell me," I demand standing up and begin to approach her.
"No," she says slowly jumping off the couch and backing away. That's when I pounce. She dodges me and begins to run.
"Lizzy, get back here and tell me," I shout chasing after her, avoiding my brothers and sensei.
"Mikey, do you know what she's hiding?" I hear Raph ask our youngest brother. I glance over and see him shrug, but still with a smile on his face. I continue to chase Lizzy until she finds cover behind Master Splinter.
"You two fight like brother and sister," sensei chuckles. Lizzy sticks her tong out at me and giggles.
"Well, by now she practically is," Leo says walking over to us, followed by Raph and Mikey.
"I would have to agree," Splinter agreed with a nod of approval.
"Aw, I'm glad you guys think so because I feel the same way," she smiled. After finally calming down I ask, "Lizzy, will you please tell me?"
"I would but it's not my place to tell, besides girls godda stick together," she told me. I sighed and let her go. She grabbed Mikey's hand and led him back to the couch. 'Hmm, maybe I should tell April tonight,' I think sitting back on the couch. I let my thoughts wonder until I begin to hear footsteps. Turning my head I see April enter the lair.
"Hey April," I greet running over to her.
"Hey Donnie. Hi everyone," she greets back with a wave.
"So what are you doing here? I thought you were spending the night with your Aunt," Leo said turning his attention towards April.
"I was, but she got called into the hospital. Some idiot thought it would be funny to launch fireworks from the top of their apartment," she explained. "So I thought I would come over and see if you wanted to watch the ball drop in Times Square. There's an office building with a roof that nobody goes on top of it. That or we could just stay here," she suggested.
"Ooo, I've always wanted to watch the ball drop live," Lizzy beamed.
"Yeah sounds like fun," Mikey agreed snuggling with Lizzy. 'This might be my chance,' I think.
"Great idea April," I say.
"Sure, why not," Raph agrees.
"Well, what do you think sensei?" Leo asked wanting permission.
"I suppose it would be alright, just be careful and dress warm," sensei agrees. I quickly began to dress in the winter clothes that Master Splinter made us wear when it got really cold. For me, it consisted of a dark purple sweatshirt, a brown jacket; purple gloves that Lizzy fixed to fit my hands, brown boots, and even a pair of jeans. Raph had on a red jacket with a black and red striped hat, black gloves that had also been fixed by Lizzy, a pair of black boots, and dark blue jeans. Mikey had on an orange jacket with a yellow hat and gloves (which were fixed by Lizzy), a yellow scarf, light blue jeans, and brown boots. Leo had on a black jacket with a blue scarf, hat, and gloves. He also had on a pair of blue jeans and black boot. Lizzy was wearing a white jacket with her green sweatshirt underneath, a pair of yellow earmuffs, her yellow gloves Raph gave her for Christmas, an orange scarf, black skinny jeans, and her yellow convers shoes. Lastly, April was wearing a green jacket, a purple scarf and earmuffs, her black gloves that Raph got her, white skinny jeans, and her usual brown boots.
"Alright, everyone ready?" Leo asked. Everyone nodded.
"Okay April, lead the way," I instructed. We began to follow her out of the sewers and into the alley.
"Alright, just follow me down the street from the roofs," April instructs.
"Alright, Lizzy why don't you go with April," Leo says.
"Sounds good to me. That way April and I can talk about girl things," Lizzy says, leaving me curious. The girls quickly leave the alley as we ascend to the roof. As we begin to jump from roof to roof following the girls, I glance down at them and wonder what their talking about.
"Hey what do you guys think their talking about?" I ask my brothers.
"Duh, girl stuff," Mikey says like it was obvious.
"Well what kind of girl stuff?" I ask wanting more detail.
"Probably about you Donnie," Raph smiles.
"Donnie and April sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g," Mikey taunts. I give a death glair to Mikey, who just sheepishly smiles and continues on.
"Oh relax Donnie, it's probably nothing bad," Leo reassures with a smile.
"Your probably right," I smile. We continue the rest of the way in silence.
Girl's Conversation
The girl's left the alley and turned down the street.
"So, what did you mean when you said 'talking about girl stuff'?" April asked Lizzy, who had a smile on her face.
"Well, I was talking to Donnie today when I almost let it slip that you like him," she said with a sheepish grin on her face as April blushed.
"Does he know?" April asked quickly in hopes that he doesn't.
"Nah, not yet, but I did give him some advice on how to approach you," she replied.
"Really?" April asked.
"Yeah, so don't be surprised if he says anything tonight," Lizzy said with a smile.
"Alright. Thanks for not giving in," she says followed by a smile.
"No worries. You didn't say anything when you first found out that I liked Mikey, so I wouldn't tell him. Plus, girl's godda stick together," Lizzy smiled.
"Always," April laughed.
"Hey there's the building," April said pointing at a large building.
"Great, let's go," Lizzy said as they walked into the alley and met the boys.
Raph's P.O.V.
After about 10 minutes of jumping from roof- to- roof, we jumped down and met the girls' in the alley next to the building.
"Alright, we're here. Just up the side and on the roof," April instructed. With a nod, everyone began to scale the building and make our way to the top.
"This is gonna be so cool," I heard Lizzy squeal.
"I know, so awesome," Mikey agreed. We eventually made our way up.
"Alright, we have about 10 minutes 'till the ball drops," April said. Everyone made themselves comfortable on the roof while we waited.
"So, what did you two talk about?" Mikey asks with a curiosity in his voice.
"Girl stuff," Lizzy answers from her position on his lap.
"What kind of girl stuff?" He asked pulling her into a tight hug.
"The kind of stuff that boys aren't allowed to know," she smiled sweetly kissing him on the cheek.
"Get a room you too," I joke.
"Oh ha ha, very funny Raph," Leo says from where he is sitting. I take this time to carefully make a snowball. When Leo looks away, I launch it at him, hitting him right in the side of his face. Everyone burst out laughing.
"Oh it's on now," Leo declares quickly making a snowball and launching it at me. I quickly move out of the way, avoiding the one Leo sent for me. Only to be hit from behind. I turn to see both Mikey and Lizzy with snowballs' in their hands and smiles on their faces.
"SNOWBALL FIGHT!" Mikey announces. We all begin to attack each other with snowballs. I avoid the one sent by April and hit Donnie. Then I attack Lizzy, but she easily avoids my attack and launches one at Leo. It hits him square in the face. This goes on for the rest of the time, only to be interrupted by the announcers as everyone is counting down from 60.
"Oooo, it's starting," Lizzy shouts making her way over to the edge. When everyone moves by Lizzy, there are 15 seconds left.
"Okay everyone get ready," Lizzy states.
"10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 HAPPY NEWYEAR!" We all chorus. We all begin to shout and dance.
Mikey and Lizzy
After the countdown, Mikey looks down into Lizzy's deep, baby blue eyes as Lizzy looks up into his, being that she's about 1 inch shorter that he is. He takes her hands and squeezes them, as if never wanting to let go. They begin to move closer to each other. Lizzy takes her hands and wraps them around his neck as he pulls her in close. Without speaking a word, Mikey carefully brings his lips to hers. 'I love you so much Lizzy. You and your soft, sweet lips,' he thinks. At the same, Lizzy can't help but think, 'Oh Mikey, I love you more than you can imagine.' As they pull away they whisper, "I love you."
April and Donnie
They two watch the couple as they sweetly kiss each other. Feeling the courage build up inside, Donnie grabs Aprils hand and says, "I know what my New Year's resolution is,"
"What's that?" April asked leaning closer to him.
"To kiss the girl I love," He smiles and pulls her in for a sweet, gentle kiss. They stay that way for a few seconds and then pull away.
"I like that resolution," she smiles and pulls him in for another kiss. Only to be interrupted by a sudden voice.
"How very touching," says a deep dark voice.
Lizzy's P.O.V.
I jerk my head towards the owner of the voice, only to find it belonged to Dog Pound. Fishface and Karai stood by his side with an army of Foot ninjas' at the ready.
"Oh, what a pleasant surprise, NOT!" Raph shouts with his weapons in a fighting manner, along with the rest of us. Well… except for April, who was in a strong fighting pose.
"Hello turtles… and daughter," Dog Pound announced. The sound of him calling me daughter made me cringe with hate. 'I am not your daughter,' I think with a scowl on my face.
"We have a message for you from my father," Karai began launching her first attack towards me. I quickly move aside to avoid the attack.
"Oh yeah, and what is that? Does he want me to come over and kick his ass again?" I grunt moving my arms forward and using my tessen in a slicing motion. She avoids my attacks.
"He wants to see you for a little 'conversation'. He wasn't too pleased with what you did to his arm," she explains taking her katana and starts slicing left to right. I barely avoid her attacks when I see an opening. I take this chance and give her one heard kick to the stomach, knocking her to the ground. Karai quickly recovers and jumps back up.
"Fat chance of that ever happening!" I yell flipping over her shoulder and swiping her feet, knocking her back to the ground.
"Gee Karai, you must really like the ground because you sure have been falling quite a bit," I mock. 'Man, I've been hanging around Raph way too much,' I think. As she gets back up, I prepare myself for another attack when I hear Dog Pound from behind.
"My turn," he states. I watch Karai leave and begin to fight Leo. I turn around to face my so called 'father'.
"You fight well daughter. Just another reason Master Shredder wants you," he grunts beginning to attack me. I avoid his attacks but flipping over him. As I am doing this, I hit him in the back of the head with the butt of my tessen. This knocks him forward, but not down. I launch for another attack, but he grabs me with his large hand and squeezes tightly. I let out a cry of pain as he threw me across the roof. I almost fell off the roof if I hadn't grabbed the ledge.
"Lizzy!" I hear someone yell as I pull myself back upon the roof. I then see Mikey running towards and helps me up.
"Thanks Mikey," I say gaining my balance.
"You're welcome Lizzy," he replies. I glance around and see that all of the Foot are knocked unconscious. The only ones left are Fishface, Dog Pound, and Karai. All of us, including April, begin to approach and corner them. Soon they are at the edge.
"Until next time turtles," Fishface warns and with that, they were gone. Everyone stands there in silence until someone speaks up.
"Well, I guess we go home," Leo instructs.
"Yes, home sounds wonderful right now," I smile.
"Yeah. Hey can you guys drop me off at home?" April yawns.
"Sure," Donnie agrees as he picks her up bridal style. We jump from rooftop-to- rooftop until we reach April's apartment. Everyone says their goodbyes, with a kiss from Donnie. 'Awww, that's so cute,' I can help but think. Then we finally head back to our home after what seems like forever. When everyone enters the lair, we are greeted by our sensei.
"Welcome home children, how was your night?" He greets.
"It was fine," Leo says avoiding telling him about what happens.
"That is nice. Then I shall see you all in the morning for training, goodnight," he says while leaving for his room.
"Goodnight sensei," we all chorus. I take this moment to head to my room, but am stopped by my turtle.
"Lizzy are you okay? Dog Pound squeezed you pretty hard," Mikey asked with concerning voice.
"Yeah, maybe I should take a look," Donnie says. I think a moment before giving him a nod. Donnie quickly heads off to get the first aid while the rest of us begin to take off our winter clothes, leaving me in my skinny jeans and orange tank top. I walk over to the couch with Mikey by my side. We sit there for a few minutes until Donnie arrives free of winter clothing and a first-aid kit.
"Alright Lizzy I don't see any visible marks or bruising on your arms," he began taking my arms and looking them over.
"Let's check your stomach," he says. I hesitate, but lift my shirt up, revealing a giant, blue and black handprint bruise. Donnie barely touches it and I let out a wince.
"Oh my, that's pretty bad," Donnie begins. "But no cuts, which is good. It should feel better by morning," he finishes standing up.
"Well… at least it's only bruising," I say standing up with Mikey
"I'm going to bed. Goodnight everyone," I say turning around with Mikey.
"Yeah, me too," Mikey agrees.
"Goodnight," the three choruses. We walk down the hallway and I stop by our doors.
"Mikey…" I begin taking hold of his hands. "Could you stay with me tonight? It would make me feel better," I ask with a smile.
"Of course," he agrees. I drag him into my room. He sits down in my chair while I slip on a pair of gray jogging pants, not bothering to switch my tank. I walk over to my bed and slip under the covers, leaving room for Mikey as he comes in after me. Once under, he pulls me in close with his arm protectively around me. I snuggle my head under his chin, beginning to feel the warmth coming off of him. We lay there for a few minutes, just feeling the warm embrace from each other.
"Goodnight Mikey, I love you," I say closing my eyes.
"Goodnight Lizzy Bear, I love you too," he sweetly says placing a kiss on my head. That is the last thing I remember before falling into a sweet slumber with my turtle, protecting me from whatever harm comes my way.
