My Hero In Purple

Dance With Me

(1week later)

(Donnie's P.O.V)

My leg had healed. Thankfully, for me, the mutagen in my body allowed my wound to repair itself a lot quicker, and after some medication and tests, I was convinced I would be fine. My brothers weren't so sure, though. Leo insisted that I stay in the lair a little while longer, until they were sure I could handle going out on patrol.

I sighed, taking off my goggles and looking at the newly welded on piece of machinery on the Shellraiser, a system that could reflect the Kraang's laser bullets and be redirected at the enemy. I heard a commotion from the other room, and hurried out to see April entering the lair.

(April's P.O.V.)

The dance last week had been fun. I had hung out with my friends and laughed through the night, but the best part? Donnie asking me out. I hadn't been able to keep a smile off my face the whole night, and walking into the lair, my eyes lit up as I saw him walk out of the Shellraiser.

"Hey, Donnie!" I exclaimed, running up to him and embracing him. Donnie smiled down at me, making my heart swell. I was the luckiest girl in the world.

(Donnie's P.O.V.)

I was the luckiest turtle in the world. April hugged me, and I grinned, looking down at her and saying shyly, "Hi, April."

She kissed me, and I felt my mind exploding with awesome feelings. I would never get used to her kiss, and I was fine with that.

"Whatcha doin'?" she asked, her crystal blue eyes staring into my brown ones. .

"Just working on the Shellraiser."

"Can I join you?"

I felt a blush creeping onto my face, and tried to conceal it. "Sure," I replied happily, walking her into the Shellraiser.

(April's P.O.V.)

It never ceased to amaze me how much of a genius Donnie was. The Shellraiser proved it. He had everything in that thing, and it could take any attack. Amazing weapons, awesome technology, and an icecream lamp! I loved hanging out in here. Donnie knelt by an open panel, and I crouched beside him, looking at the series of wires and...mirrors?

"What are those for?" I asked, pointing to the machinery.

"It's a defense mechanism," Donnie explained, "If we knew the Kraang were about to shoot, I could pull this lever-" he pointed to a joystick built into the wall, "-and these mirrors would replace the metal panels on the outside, deflecting them and preventing any major damage."

April was impressed. How did he come up with all these brilliant ideas? "Wow," she said, marveling at the contraption, "It's amazing."

(Donnie's P.O.V.)

April was so beautiful. Her eyes scanned over my new invention, blue orbs taking in every detail. Even though she didn't believe him, Donnie insisted she looked just as beautiful as ever.

"Wow," she murmured, "It's amazing."

I laughed nervously. "Thank you."

I got up, and she stood with me, exploring the rest of the Shellraiser. I went over to the radio, and turned it on, receiving only static at first. April jumped at the sudden sound, turning around and looking at me, shocked.

"Sorry," I apologized, trying to tune the radio, "Didn't mean to scare you."

April's eyes softened, and she smiled softly at me, walking over and sitting next to me, "It's alright."

I finally managed to tune the radio to a station. I grabbed a wrench as the music began to play, and started tinkering on some other parts of the vehicle. April was beside me the whole time, talking and laughing with me and occasionally handing me tools. The song switched to Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud, and I smiled faintly.
