26AN: here is the start. It says in the rules, that no replicas of documents are supposed to be on here, so I'm starting an all new one, leaving the other one up (one shot, Feelings Sorted) until I get to that part in this here fic. I wanted to put this first chapter up so that I can get to it later.
Disclaimer: I down nothing.
Donatello PoV
It has been days; days since April told him and the other turtles that she was moving away. He still couldn't get over his initial shock of sadness. Even his Sensei had notice his lack of concentration in training.
Donatello was a bit heart broken and lost. She didn't even know how he felt for her. He could still tell her; the window of opportunity closing rapidly. She was to move in just two days.
Try as he might, he just couldn't bring it up to her. He cursed himself every time he chickened out.
"Donnie, lighten up, dude!" Michaelangelo sang, currently smiling his goofy smile, and at the same time with a soft look in his blue orbs.
The purple masked turtle only grunted, staring down at his T-phone. A picture of the red haired beauty was open on the screen. He sighed, flipping the phone down, not able to look at it for much longer.
"He is light, Mikey. If he was any more lighter, he'd be on the ceiling." Raphael cracked, flipping through his magazine.
"Your sarcasm isn't needed, Raph." Donnie snapped, shooting up. He needed air, so he did the only thing possible; he went up into the streets of New York. The air that hit his face instantly soothed him.
What was he going to do without her? He would still have his brothers, of course, but she would be the missing piece. She had that fire inside her to become a ninja. She overcame everything that lie in her way since they were in their younger teens.
Soaking up everything that Master Splinter had taught her, she reined in her mind abilities, overcoming many obstacles. She was so much more than an alien human to him; she was a star in the clear midnight sky, a force to be reckoned with.
It amazed him how quickly she caught up with him and his brothers' training. So caught up, in fact, that she had beaten Mikey a couple times, and Donatello almost. He had to keep his guard up, covering every opening he could.
He had finally got her at the end. Mostly because she was tired. After that, she trained rigorously, aiming to beat all of them, even Leonardo.
He lost his train of thought as something sounded in the shadows. Still walking, careful to not alert that person, or people, of his awareness, he drew his staff out, whirling around as two Foot came at him.
Pressing the invisible button, a blade shot out, cutting both robotic heads off. That wasn't the end of it; five more took the others place, and Donatello had to try hard to beat them. He got rid of them, left and right, more coming at him.
Why of all quiet nights did they have to come when he was alone? He jumped into the air, leading to two of the bots to crash into the other, both collapsing onto the ground in pieces. Coming down, he forced himself to become one with the gravity, allowing it to force his fist on the ground harder.
The foot that surrounded him was flung back onto the pavement at the force of impact. Donnie stood up, catching his breath before another wave hit.
"Where are you coming from?" The purple masked turtle shouted, eyes going all white. With a bunch of moves, he took them all out. Finally, he didn't sense any others, so he slid his staff back into its holder, heaving a sigh of relief.
"Finally-" he sensed something else, him instantly taking action. In one fluid movement, he had his stick out, whirling it around, knocking something down.
"Hey!" Came the muffled voice. Donnie didn't pick up on the voice due to his anger. He rarely got this way, but when he did, he was just as deadly as Raphael. That was definitely saying something.
He launched himself at the immobilized person on the ground, laying the stick across the forms neck. "I about had it with you foot."
It didn't take long before he was flung off, crashing into the ground a few feet away. He got up, facing the now upright figure. He went into a defensive stance, waiting for the enemy to attack first. With much force, the attacker came at him, barely catching him off guard.
His back was now to the wall, stick snatched out of his hands, now being used to hold him in place. "Donatello, it's me, April. Calm down."
The turtle went slack. "April?"
"Yes. Can I let you go now? You won't attack me, right?" She asked in a careful tone. He could finally see her shape, mentally slapping himself for not recognizing her. His face flushed.
"I won't. Sorry about that." As she let him go, anger flared in him. "Why are you out here? I could have killed you!" His dark brown eyes narrowed, a gaze that pierced her.
"I was coming to see you guys, dummy. What are you out here for?" She retorted, copying him. Her close proximity was finally getting to him. He wiggled uncomfortably.
"I needed air. That's all. Now if you'd be kind enough to let me have my staff back, we can go back." He was still in a huffy mood as they walked back to the sewers.
As soon as they got in the place, Donnie went to his room to work. He shut the door. He'd get over her. He needed to move on.
"April, what brings you here?" Leo asked.
"What's shaken, bacon?" Mikey shouted.
"What crawled up Donnie-boys shell?" Raphael asked.
"I don't know. He just beat waves of Foot. You should have seen him. I kinda scared him, him thinking I was one of them, and we had a bit of a scuffle... but that's in the past. I came to tell you that I'm moving in twenty minutes, which only gives me five with you." The red head explained.
Right after? Donnies heart fell, quickly coming back up. He was going to get over her, and this was the first step. He crossed wires.
"Really? Were gonna miss you!" Mikey screeched. There was a silence; one that could only be explained as Mikey demanding a group hug.
"Well, I guess goodbye." He heard her sniff. His resolve faltered.
He shook his head, his now wavering hands adding on a piece.
The three turtles said their goodbyes, as Master Splinter did. "What about Donnie?" Mikey's voice rang out.
Silence. He went on, as if he couldn't hear. This is what was best.
A knock sounded at the door. "Donnie? I'm leaving."
He had to set his pliers down. It was just to dangerous for him to be crossing wires with his heart being torn to shreds. He stayed silent. This is what was best. It would help him.
"Well... bye." He heard her footsteps fade as she got further away.
"Bye." Mikey said in a sad voice.
Donatello had to curl in his shell to keep his resolve. Finally, all was silent, no sounds to be heard.
Minutes passed on what seemed like hours when a knock sounded on his door again. "She's gone." It was Leonardo.
A tear slipped down his cheek, and his brother walked away. This hurt now, but he was going to get over her. He just had to have a good cry right now.
"Bye, April..." he whispered, tears falling faster. "I love you."
AN: I know, first chapter sad. BUT, it will be much happier in the next chapter. This one was to just set the mood ;) review on your way out! Until next time!
