“A hundredfold would probably save me ten dollars, Donnie.”

“Why don’t you focus on your bigger projects, like finally fixing the Shellraiser’s suspension, and we’ll call it even?”

Science candy. April knew his heart too well.

“I guess I could take one off your hands…” he giggled, trying to sound coy but swiping up the sachet far too quickly to pretend the he had anything resembling self-restraint. “One day I’ll reverse-engineer this stuff, and then I’ll be able to pay you back a hundredfold!”

“‘You really bring me out of my shell, Valentine!’

“Uh. Thank you very much.”

Naturally, being a gift from April, Donatello would treasure this gaudy piece of paper forever – though the nuance of the gesture was clearly lost on him, given that he had been so focussed on his singing telegram idea that he had neglected to research the joys of cheap, cheesy, store-bought valentines.

“But… you don’t have a shell, April. We’ve been over this.”

“It’s just an expression, Donnie. We’ve been over this.”

“Now, am I going to have to eat both of these pop rock packs by myself?” Drawing her hands out from behind her back, she gave one a playful shake and offered it to him.

“They’re basically... little girls in training to be samurais.”

“And selling cookies is part of how they rise in rank, so it’s important that we sell more than the other groups, got it? Can I count on you?”

“Cookies!”

“Say no more, girl. I’m on it! I’ll do it for the good of these girl scouts–uh, wait, what’re girl scouts?”

“Actually, you’re the reason I’m here. I promised I would supervise a few of the local girl scouts making their rounds through the neighborhood.”

“Wanna come with? You’re green enough to be an honorary girl scout, and there’s cookiiiies~”

“Okay, true, but I missed you, chica!”

“Master Splinter was all training with Leo on their ninja magic stuff and I got bored as heck. You wanna go a few rounds with me?”

[theothersideofnyc]

April! My /dude!/ It feels like I haven't seen you in /forever/, girl!

“Mikey... I saw you last night.”

[theothersideofnyc]

“Um... Maybe later, Donnie. Here--”

“They had some zoo valentine cards in the drugstore. I mostly just bought them for the turtle puns.”

“Fffff– H-heyyyyy, April! You uh. You’ve gotten really good at sneaking up on me. Heh.”

“I was just researching Valentines Day traditions, and y’know, I thought… maybe… you’d like a snogging turtlegram…?”

“I-I mean telegram!”

[theothersideofnyc]

“My what?” 

“Having monstrous, three-fingered hands really limits the kinds of instruments I can play.”

“Guess April’s singing telegram will have to be a cappella.”

[theothersideofnyc]

“Yes, Casey?”

–[☠]– “ Apriiiil…. ”

[theothersideofnyc]

“Well, you were bragging so much about how good your reflexes are...”

“I thought I would test them.”

–[☠]– “ How was I supposed t’ know you were gunna chuck it at my face? I thought you were all about, I dunno, healin’ stuff? ”

[theothersideofnyc]

“Really?”

“So I guess you wanted your soda all over the floor? And you.” 

–[☠]– “ I did catch it. ‘Cept it kinda bounced off my face. Still counts, Red. ”

[theothersideofnyc]

“You should have caught it, then.”

–[☠]– “ You’re th’ one that threw it first. ”
