April's P.O.V.

Ch. 7

Aw, man. I can't believe the shape Donnie's in. I completely forgot about the blood on my floor once the guys brought him in. The day he mutated… scared me out of my skin. But the story I'm going to tell him… happened to only us two… alone and it wasn't the time he and I found my Uncle Aguie either.

"Donnie…" I say softly, kneeling down on my knees beside him. "Hey, its April. Remember the time we had a run in with techy aliens?" Of course the others didn't know about it cause we thought it best not to tell them once we got back home. Now's the time they know where we were last year.

~flashback~

I was typing away on my computer when something came on the screen. I tried getting back on the site I was on but had absolutely no luck. I groaned and decided to call Don. Picking up my shell cell, I called him.

"What's up, April?" Don asked, picking up.

"Something weird is happening to my computer. Could you come over and check it out, please? I can't do anything on it," I told him.

"Of course. I'll be right there," Don said. We hung up and now I wait for him to arrive. Knowing him, he'll probably drop in when I least expect it. Ha, ha. While I wait for Donnie, I decided to make some food. Along with some hot cocoa. It's still freezing outside.

The moment I finished making the cocoa, Donnie shoed up from my basement door. "Donnie, thanks for coming," I smiled.

"Even in the sewers… i-i-it's –fr-freezing," he shivered, even though he had on warm clothes, yeah.

"Here Don. I made some hot chocolate," I smiled again, handing him a cup.

"T-thanks April," he shivered, taking a sip. Apparently warming up a bit cause he didn't shiver as much when he spoke again. "So, what's the problem?"

"My computer is acting strangely." Once I told him that, he walked over to it. He placed his hand on his chin, "Hm… what in the world…?" He got his laptop out from his bag. Hooking it up to my computer, then typing away. Heh, with only three fingers on each hand he sure is fast.

"This is odd," he said after a while. "Now its on my laptop. Hm… April, I've never seen this before. The writing is familiar but… I just don't know where. Anything on TV?"

"Don, what would you want with the TV? It won't help-" he turned it on anyway as a reporter interrupted me.

"Computers belonging to most of the smartest people are going haywire. No one understands what is happening or what these strange markings are-"

The TV suddenly went dead as our computers lit up. We sharply turned around in time to see something coming out of 'em.

"Donnie… what's that?" I asked, getting behind him.

"I'm not sure," Donnie said, grabbing a hold of his bo-staff, but didn't take it out yet. The light slowly depleted as two weird looking guys appeared. Both of them had techy armor that beeped and their skin was a purple-ish color. Their faces looked like mutant lizards, but these ones weren't like the ones we met when we found my uncle.

"Where is our leader, freak?" asked one of them, holding up a gun of some sort at us.

"What are you talking about?" Don asked, staying in front of me. "This is the first time I've seen beings like you."

"Don't lie to us, freak!" bellowed the other one as it fired that gun thing of his. Don gasped as he grabbed me and jumped out of the way just in time.

"You okay, April?" Don asked me.

"Yeah. I think so," I answered. Looking up I gasped. Don took out his bo-staff and disarmed both of the alien guys. Well, that's what I call them now.

"Back off, you two!" Don warned, holding his staff in a 'ready to whack some heads' position.

"Whoa. Kuizon wait," said one of them.

"What is it, Leeton?" asked that one known as Kuizon. The two started talking to each other.

"Kuizon and Leeton? Okay, why do those names sound familiar to me?" Donnie asked me.

"Beats me, Donatello," I replied with a shrug.

"Hey wait. Your name is Donatello?" asked… I think it was Kuizon.

"Yeah. What of it?" Don asked. The two gasped and kneeled down on one knees saying, "My lord! Forgive us for not recognizing you."

"Uh… um…" Don looked at me confused. I shrugged, also confused. "They think I'm…"

"Supreme Lord of Technology. Please come back with us. Somethings gone wrong with our power supply," I believe Leeton said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Now wait a minute guys. You've got the wrong turtle or… person," Donnie told them, lowering his bo-staff but not his guard… I hope. He sounds confused as all shell. Great, I've been hanging around them too long. I'm talking like them now.

"Oh no, my Lord. We know it's you. Our leader always has a bo-staff and wears a purple mask. Plus, you said our names sounded familiar. All you need, my lord, is a memory job," said Kuizon. "Please my lord, we need your help or our kingdom will fall into darkness."

I grabbed onto Donnie's arm as one of them pointed a wrist laser at me. Only Don stayed in front of me, "Harm her and you boys will have more problems than just darkness."

"Uh… forgive me, my lord," apologized the alien lizard. Don stood up straight, "Okay, now here's the deal. If I go back with you to see what I can do about that darkness you mentioned, only if I come back here once it's done."

"Donnie, no," I begged him.

"Anything you wish, my lord," Leeton said with a bow.

"Donnie please, don't," I begged again.

"It's okay, April. If I do this then… we just might avoid an invasion," Donnie told me, turning around to face me.

"But…"

"Would it make you feel better if you came along?" I looked up at him, then nodded. Even though all this scares me, I don't want him going somewhere alone. Even if these things think he's a lord of something.

Don walks over to the two aliens as I keep my hands on his arm. "Let's go," he told them.

"Yes, my lord," Leeton said holding up a device that shined brightly. I closed my eyes as Donnie held onto me.

We got transported through my computer. My eyes stayed closed, until I heard Donnie exclaim in amazement. "Whoa. April, you gotta see this," I opened my eyes and gasped. Everything was all high tech. Circuit boards put together to make buildings, computer wires were phone lines or instant messaging lines; it's like we died and went to techno-geek heaven.

Kuizon and Leeton showed up around the… kingdom. We were amazed at every turn we took. But once we turned the next corner where a bakery stood on the corner across from us… everything went black.

I screamed as Don took my hand, saying, "It's okay, April. Calm down." He put something on my head, over my eyes. Once I opened them, I could see in this pitch black place. "Night vision?" I asked.

"Yup," Don replied. "Kuizon, where's the generator that powers the kingdom?"

"Right this way, my lord," Kuizon said, walking off towards a huge building. We followed him closely and again, I didn't let go of Donnie's arm. Walking for about a half hour, we stopped.

"Whoa," Donnie gasped. "That is some statue." I look up to see a statue of… Donatello? Down to the very last detail, it's Donnie all right. Wow, this is weird.

"Right underneath the statue, my lord," Kuizon said, pressing the slab on the front of the Donnie statue. It moved backwards as a staircase appeared. Curious Don goes down without a second thought. Of course, I go with him.

"Well, there's your problem, fellas," Donnie says, walking over to a sparking, winding generator. I heard a scared little kitty crying in that direction.

"What's that sound?" I asked.

"I'm working on it," Donnie says, looking through that generator. "I see you little guy. Leeton, turn the generator off for a few minutes. I gotta get inside it," Don told the lizard alien.

"As you wish," Leeton said, going over to the main switch board module. He pulled a lever down as the generator powered down. I looked back over to Don, who took off his bag. "April, watch my bag for me, please."

"Of course," I say as I go over to his bag. He opened the generator so he could crawl inside. I watched him from where I could see and kept his bag strap around my ankle so it wouldn't 'roll away' heheh.

Looking at where he was crawling to… a kitten? It's not like any cat I've ever seen. It's very small, with fox like ears, looks like it's got two layers of fur; I can't tell what color(s) it is.

"Easy there little guy," Donnie says softly, slowly creeping towards the kitty. "Let's get you out of this generator…" He was cut off when the kitty stood up and ran straight to him. It curled up in his elbow.

I can tell Don's confused again as he climbs out of the generator. "Donnie?" I asked.

"Poor little thing's scared to death. I would be too if I tumbled into a generator with no way out. Leeton, wait until April and I are above to start it up. I switched out a few scratched wires with new ones so it should give you guys no problems," Donnie tells the lizard guy.

"Understood, my lord," Leeton said with a bow. He and I went up the staircase once he grabbed his bag. The lights suddenly came on, brightening up the place. I took these night vision goggles off and placed them in Don's bag. He did the same with the goggles he had on. We both look down at the little kitty, still shivering in his elbow.

"What kind of cat has two tails and is that small?" I ask, confused.

"I don't know. But you gotta admit she's cute," Donnie smiles, gently petted the white furred kitty. The fur color on top of the white is the same color as Donnie's mask.

"Um… Don. How do you know it's a girl?" I asked.

"Good question. I have no idea," Don replies. The two lizard aliens come back up to see their city in lights. They were in awe, but then Kuizon freaked out once he looked at the kitty.

"What's wrong with you?" Don asked.

"That cat… my lord, whatever y-you do… pl-please don't get it mad," Kuizon shivered in fear.

"Don't worry. She's just frightened right now. Tell you what… I'll stay a bit longer to… you know… make sure I know what I'm doing with this little guy before taking her home," Donnie said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa there Donnie. Are you thinking straight right now?" I asked, placing my hands on my hips.

"Think about it April. Kuizon's scared of this little guy, which tells me, if she gets mad then something will happen to make her terrifying instead of cute. And staying here for her isn't such a good idea either. So, once I understand this little one better, then I'll go back," Don explained.

"Then I'm staying with you," I told him after a while. He smiled at me and even though we have no idea how much time has passed in our world; we've been in techno heaven for at least two months before finally heading home.

The kitty, Don named Saya, likes cat food. Earth cat food at that. The way Donnie interacted with Saya is like she was always his or something. It's cute. He actually trained her like a puppy and of course I helped out since we negotiated how we were going to keep Saya a secret until the time was right for his brothers and father to know.

Also, we were going to keep this whole experience a secret from them until we felt the time's right for them to know. Saya's going to live with me and Don's gonna come by as often as he possibly can. We don't know what'll happen if Don brings her to his lair with Mikey's cat; Klunk.

The two alien lizards sent us home like we asked. We arrived back in my shop, standing up. "That was adventurous," Don sighed. "But it's good to be back home after…"

"I don't know," I said, cutting him off. I was looking at my computer clock that was still on. Saya explored my shop just as Don's shell cell went off. He answered it, "Hello?" He quickly yanked it away from his ear and I could hear Raph shouting.

"Where the hell are you, Donnie?! It's been five hours and our TV's are still down! And Master Splinter's making us train waiting for you!"

"Uh… I was fixing April's computer. I'm coming home right now, Raph." He hung up before Raph could yell something else. "Phew. Man that Raph sure can yell. Two months in techno world equals five hours here? Wow."

"Yeah. Heh, I'll take care of Saya. You should head home before you get into more trouble with your brothers."

"Alright. Thanks a lot, April. I owe you one." He told Saya to be good for me and left for his home.

~end flashback~

"And every time you left for home, Saya has always missed you," I finished.

"Wise decision from you two not to tell us this," Master Splinter says softly. "Where is the little kitty?" I smile softly, "Saya, you can come out now. It's alright, these boys won't bite." We all heard a little meow as Saya comes out of hiding. She scampers over to Donnie and curls up in his neck. I can tell she's crying as the boys gasp lightly.

"You've been keeping a weird cat for a year without telling me?" Casey asked, disappointed.

"It was better you didn't know until now," I told him.

"Klunk might've flipped out if Don brought this little one home that day," Mikey says. "That was a good call."

"Yeah, I mean… I don't think I'd want to see this cute cat get mad if an alien lizard got scared of it," Raph said.

"Thing is… I think only Donnie can calm her down if she does get mad," I told them. We all gasped once we heard a painful groan coming from Donnie now. We all looked at him, saying his name.

I then turn to Casey. "Casey, you've had to have some time with Donnie without the rest of us. Please," I slightly beg.

...

Donnie's got a kitty ^_^ how sweet

Stay tooned for Casey's story
