Donnie's Pov~

Today was Thursday. Mikey was getting ready for his date tomorrow and amazingly Raph was helping him. I sighed and went back to my work on the Krang translator. I worked for about an hour before my phone buzzed. I looked at it.

'Come to Central park.'

I was confused. Who was this? I texted back asking who this person was. It wasn't moments later that I got another text.

'Just come.'

I sighed and looked at the clock. It was 10 at night. What could someone want at 10 at night? Wait... what if it's the Foot? No. that can't be they don't know my phone number. It must be someone from school. I looked around to see if any of my brothers were watching and slipped out the window.

Luckily for me Central park wasn't far away. When I got there I looked around trying to find the person that called me here.

"Donnie! Over here." I turn towards the voice and saw Lyra sitting at a picnic table near the tree line. I smiled and walked over to her.

"What's up?"

She smiled, "Well I have two things. First, because I didn't get to before I quit, I want you to take these." She said pushing forward a pile of papers. I looked at them for a moment before she interjected again. "There just some tests. I wanted to see how smart you really were."

I rolled my eyes. "You had me sneak out of my house to take a test?"

"I know. Just, entertain me for a moment."

I smirked and picked up the pen that was on the table. I looked at the test and started answering the questions. They weren't difficult, per say, but they did take me time to answer. I filled out all of the questions and put the pen down.

"Done." I said and looked up at Lyra finding her holding a stop watch.

Lyra stared at the watch then at me for a moment before taking the test. She pulled out an answer sheet and looked over my answers. When she was done, she kept staring between me, the test, and the stop watch.

"H-how did you?" she shook her head and stared at me. "Donnie do you realize what you just did?"

I tried to rack my brain for the answer she was looking for but came up with nothing. "Ahh.. no?"

Lyra laughed. "Donnie you just took a professional Astronomical and Engineering entrance exam for NASA, and you managed to answer every question, correctly, in less than two hours... Donnie... These exams take four hours each on average."

I stared at her. "W-what?"

She smiled and shook her head, "Jeez man, I knew you were an Einstein, but this is unheard of." I blushed and she laughed again. "Ok. Well I guess I know how smart you are now... Jeez. Ok... Well the other thing I wanted to show you is over this way so follow me."

I followed her still trying to process what had just happened. I mean I knew I was smart, but that smart? Is that even possible? I smiled and looked at Lyra. She's beautiful. WAIT! What? I like April. Why am I thinking of Lyra like this? I shook my head and tried to clear my thoughts as Lyra lead me to the middle of Central park where some of the statues where.

She led me over to a blanket that was on the ground with a laptop and speakers set up on it. "What's this?" I asked.

Lyra smiled and sat down, pulling me down with her. "I wanted to do this for the science program, but... I thought you would enjoy it more." She started to fiddle with the laptop and speakers. "Ready?" she asked. I nodded wanting to know what she had planned.

Suddenly a spark of electricity came off one of the statues causing me to jump.

More and more electric pulses came off the different statues. It took me a moment to realize what was happening. She had turned the statues into tesla coils and was playing music through the electric pulses. Such things had been done before, but never at such a level.

"This is amazing..." I mumbled staring at the scene in front of me. Taking in the music.

It was beautiful.

The song ended and another one started to play. This went on for a while before Lyra interrupted the music with a question. "Donnie... Why do you like April?" It felt like the world stopped. I stared at her. Why would she ask something like that?

I cleared my throat. "Well...Because she's amazing. She's strong, and passionate, and beautiful, and-" Lyra gave a small sad laugh, making me look at her.

"You really do love her don't you?"

I smiled, "Well yeah... of course I do." Lyra got a sad smile on her face and slowly reached up and stroked my cheek. "Lyra? What are you-?"

Lyra retracted her hand quickly and turned her face away from mine. "Sorry," she said. She then looked up to me. "I'm happy for you Donnie. That you found someone to love... but... does April feel the same?"

I swallowed, "Well.. Ahh... not exactly. I mean we're friends but I don't think she likes me like that. But I don't blame her! I mean I have a lot of flaws so... It's understandable."

Lyra frowned, "Everyone has flaws Donnie. Part of love is being able to see past those flaws." She smiled, "One day Donnie you will find someone that thinks of you the same way you think of April. They're going to think you're the most amazing person in the world and it's going to take them forever to think of a flaw that you have. That is the person that you should love. Don't waste your love on someone who doesn't appreciate who you are inside and out. You deserve to be with someone who sees how amazing you are, not someone who sees you as less then you are."

A sad smile formed on my lips, "I doubt I will ever find someone like that."

I felt Lyra place her hand on my shoulder, "You already have. You just have to look."

I turned to her, "Who?"

Lyra chuckled and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Hehe... You really are clueless Einstein."

"Huh-!!!" Lyra leaned in pecked me on the lips. I froze. She kissed me.... OMG! She kissed me!!!!!! I heard Lyra giggle before she leaned back in and kissed me again, this time longer.

I felt a zap of electricity go through me releasing me from my frozen state. I didn't know what to do but apparently my body did. I leaned forward and moved my lips with hers before pulling back and staring at her. "Wha-what?"

Lyra giggled and shook her head. "Donnie. You're the most amazing man I have ever met, and I really like you."

A face splitting smile carved my lips. "Y-you like me? You really like me?"

She nodded, "Of course I do Donnie."

It felt like I had taken twenty energy drinks. I jumped up and pulled her up with me. "You like me! Holy- shizzzz. She likes me!" I danced around a bit pulling Lyra with me when a thought occurred. "Ah! I have to go home! It's almost 12!" I quickly turned to Lyra, grabbed her face, and kissed her full on the mouth. I pulled back smiling. "I like you too." I whispered.


I let go of her and started run home. "HAHA! She likes me!"
