It happened, April finally got you to go shopping with her. You didn't despise shopping but you rather spend your money on books and art material. But here you were, the hands full of bags from diverse shops. April was so proud of herself, you bought an actual dress. The last time you remember yourself wearing one was at your prom.
Both of you were tired and your feet were hurting. April proposed to stop at the turtles' place. You accepted but you felt like there was something wrong.
When you arrive you let your body drop on the sofa with relief as April told your day to the gang. You were zoning out when you heard your name. You looked around to see the gang was staring at you and April was wearing a weird smile
"What?" You asked archly. you were feeling a bit embarrassed because of all the eyes on you.
"Well show us what you bought," April answered then turn to the boys "you know how stubborn she is but actually on this one, I won"
"OOH Come on, I was hesitating on if it was worth it," you said putting on a pout, refusing to admit her victory over you.
"If you say so. Are you going to show us?" she asked
".. Show what?" you tried to play innocent
"The dress YOU choose," she said revealing your secret
Everyone looked surprised. You were never super feminine but you wore feminine clothes multiple times with them. Now they were looking at you. You were almost blushing from all the attention.
"no.," you said hiding behind the sofa
"Come on ..." she said
"I don't think the boys really cares about it," you said putting your hand together as if you were praying that they were thinking the same way.
But unfortunate for you, they thought it would be funny to make you do it.
"Well I am curious to see of course if you don't want we won't force you, "said Michelangelo
You kind of wanted to, so you got up grabbed the bag and ran to the bathroom. As April clapped and giggle in victory.
After a couple of minutes, you finally came out of the bathroom, with a plain blue dress with t-shirt sleeves, the bottom was ending below the knee and it was really suiting you.
They all gave you compliments told you that there was so shame at trying new things.
But something was wrong, Raphael remained silent and when you asked him how you looked, he relied with a simple "nice", which was weird because you often caught him looking at you. You spend the rest of the day in that dress, you liked it.
That night Raphael had trouble sleeping
"Guess I kind of forgot she was a girl, heh…" he whispered, not sure what to think.
