Donnie looked at her with giant brown eyes. Time seemed elongated by just one little question. April held her breath and Don blinked.
"Wha was the queston?" Don finally asked, tilting his head to the side. April stared at him. She really wasn't sure by just his actions.
"How old are you Donnie?" She asked, a little to stern then she hoped. Don looked taken back, then concentrated on the question.
"Um-" He started, holding up his hands, "Fow." He replied, looking proud off himself. April took a deep breath and nodded.
"You hungry?" She asked, picking him up. Don reached down for his bunny so she bent over to pick it up for him.
"Yes." He said, clutching it tightly. April smiled and carried him into the kitchen. Leo was finishing his sandwhich, "What would you like Donnie?" She asked as she sat him down. Don sat his bunny neatly in the seat next to him.
"Um, apple." Don said, petting his bunny's soft ears. April nodded and went to cuting up the red apple, "Can I have peanut butter wiff it?" He asked, looking over at her.
"Of course. You can't have an apple without peanut butter." She said, sitting down a little plate in front of him.
"Fank you." He said, picking up an apple slice and scooping up peanut butter. He took a giant bite and April had to grin. He was just so ADORABLE.
"May I be 'scused?" Leo asked, pushing back his plate. April sitfled a few laughs.
"It's excused Leo." She said with another laugh, "And yes, you may." Leo nodded and slid down from his chair, running into the TV room. Don ate another apple slice covered with peanut butter in one bite.
"Don't eat so fast, you'll get a stomach ache." April said, sitting across the table from him. Don looked over at her with full mouth and nodded.
"Okay." He said once he swallowed. April grinned.
"Raph!" Came Leo's voice from the TV room. The yell made April and Don jump. April jumped up and ran into the other room.
"Please don't be four, Raph, please don't be four." April muttered at she darted in, "What happened?" She asked once she entered. Mikey sat on the couch and stared at Leo and Raph who were wrestling on the ground. She rushed over and pulled them apart. Raph struggled against her tight grip on his arm. Leo plopped down onto the ground and crossed his arms once April grabbed him.
"What. Happened?" April asked again, but more stern. Leo huffed and turned away and Raph crossed his arms, giving an angry pout (the same one he used as a fifteen year old). April sighed, "Mikey?" Mikey looked over with innocent baby blue eyes, "Don't tell me you're four too." She said. Raph started struggling again so April put him in a head lock.
"I dunno." Mikey said with a shrug. April took a deep breath. Raph started yelling at Leo and Leo, of course, yelled back. They both started tugging at her hand and tried to attack each other. April grit her teeth and let go of the two.
"BE QUIET!" She yelled a little louder then she wanted. Raph and Leo immediatly stopped and looked up at her with a guilty look. Mikey stared at the ground and twiddled his thrumbs. Don poked his head in from the kitchen, clutching his bunny. April took a long, deep breath before speaking.
"Okay, now what happened?" She asked in almost a whisper. Leo and Raph looked at the ground. Mikey raised his hand, "Yes Mikey?"
"Waph hit Leo." He answered, his gaze going from April to the ground. Raph tensed up.
"I din't mean to!" Raph objected, stomping and crossing his arms.
Great, Raph twitched, which turned him into a foru year old, and hit Leo. April thought, rubbing her temples.
"How old are you three?" She asked after a long silence. They all blinked.
"Fow." They answered at once. April stomped away to one of their bedrooms, leaving four very confused four year olds. She grabbed a pillow and screamed into it. She didn't want to have to take care of her friends, much less the one she had a crush on. It was all just to weird.
"Good job 'eo. Now Apriw's mad at us." Raph said once she left.
"You'w de one dat hit me!" Leo responded, giving Raph a push. Raph clenched his fists and took a step towards Leo.
"Guys, stop." Mikey said, standing in between them. Leo stepped back and Raph crossed his arms.
"You'w not de boss a me!" Raph exclaimed, turning and starting down the sewer.
"Waph!" Leo called, running after him.
"Should we go get dem?" Donnie asked Mikey, running over to stand next to him. They exchanged a look.
"Let's go." Mikey said, leading the way. Don dropped his bunny and followed.
"Sorry guys-" April said, walking into the TV room to find them gone, "Guys?!" She yelled, darting around the lair. Her breathing started getting quick. She walked back into the TV room and picked up Don's bunny.
"They better not have-"
Sorry that this chapter's a little short, I just wanted to end it here so yeah, the next chapter will be longer and, hopefully, it'll be up sooner.
