Forbidden Love

Mutants are real. I know New York is full of weird stuff, especially on the news, but this is...beyond weird. Let me back up for a second. First off, I'm nothing special. I go to an ordinary school; I have two ordinary heart surgeons for my parents, and lead an ordinary life. Yet, here I am, hiding in the janitor's closet with a 5'3" talking turtle with a purple mask and hoodie, a staff, and goggles. After about two minutes, he leans his ear against the door.

Donnie: "Ok. I think they're gone."

Y/N: "Who's they?"

Donnie: "The Purple Dragons."

Y/N: "The tech geeks?"

Donnie: "Geeks, maybe. Criminals, definitely."

Y/N: "Criminals? Wait, who are you? 'Cause for someone who, to my recollection, doesn't go to this school, you know an awful lot about my classmates."

Donnie: "Oh, right. I'm Donatello, but you can call me Donnie. I don't go here, but my friend, April, sometimes asks me to help her with her schoolwork, like today. I know about the Dragons' life outside of school because I've stopped them from robbing a tech company and a drone race."

Y/N: "So, you're like a mutant cop or something?"

Donnie: "I prefer 'vigilante' or 'genius', but I'll let you be the judge of that. And it's not just me. My brothers and I are a team of ninjas who fight crime by night. And day. Really, whenever."

Y/N: "Cool."

Donnie: "And you are...?"

Y/N: "Oh, right! Sorry. I'm (f/n), but my friends call me (n/n)."

Donnie: "Well, hopefully, I can call you that, too."

Y/N: *smirks* "Depends on how well the rest of this day goes."

Donnie: *chuckles* "Right."

Y/N: "Maybe we can continue this somewhere less crowded?"

Donnie nods with a smile and opens the door, revealing the now-empty hallway. We walk through the halls, Donnie peeking in and out of the shadows, earning a laugh from me at how sneaky he's being, even though there's no one here but us. I know we just met, but something about him makes me feel like we're connected, even if only by chance, assuming said connection is mutual and not just part of my imagination. Maybe with time, we could become more than friends.

Once we near the library, Donnie takes my hand and leads me around the room.

{A/N: The 'Ohh's and 'la la la la's are part of the background music for this}

Donnie:

I know it might be crazy

But did you hear the story?

Y/N:

I think I heard it vaguely

Donnie:

A girl and a genius

Y/N:

Oh, tell me more, boy

Sounds like a fantasy

Both:

Oh, what could go so wrong

With a girl and a genius

Donnie:

You're from the perfect paradise

And I'm living on the darker side

Y/N:

Ooh, I've got a feeling

If you get to know me

Donnie:

Right from the start you caught my eye

And something inside me came to life

Y/N:

Ooh, I've got a feeling

If you get to know me

Both:

Someday

This could be, this could be ordinary

Someday

Could we be something extraordinary?

Donnie:

You and me side by side

Both:

Out in the broad daylight

If they laugh, we'll say

We're gonna be someday

We're gonna be someday

We're gonna be someday

We're gonna be someday

Donnie:

Girl, you're pizzalicious

Oh, I mean gorgeous

Y/N:

*chuckles*

Well, now you're getting fearless

Donnie:

No, I'm just rooting for us

Y/N:

If different was a superpower

Both:

We'd be so flawless

Yeah, we could make these two worlds ours

I'm rooting for us

Donnie:

Two lonely hearts meet in the dark

Imagine it now they start a spark

Y/N:

You got my attention

What happens next, then?

Donnie:

Movies and long walks in the park

Hanging out anywhere we want

Y/N:

I like the way you're thinking

I can almost see it

Both:

Someday

This could be, this could be ordinary

Someday

Could we be something extraordinary?

Donnie:

You and me side by side

Both:

Out in the broad daylight

If they laugh, we'll say

We're gonna be someday

Someday, someday

Y/N:

So let them talk if they wanna

Let them talk if they're gonna

We're gonna do what we wanna

Let them talk, let them talk

If they wanna, they wanna

Both:

Someday

This could be, this could be ordinary

Someday

Could we be something extraordinary?

Donnie:

You and me side by side

Both:

Out in the broad daylight

If they laugh, we'll say

We're gonna be someday

Y/N:

Someday, someday

Donnie:

We're gonna be someday

Y/N:

Someday, someday

Both:

We're gonna be someday

Donnie spins me out and back toward him as I instinctively place a hand against his chest to keep myself balanced. He traces the outline of my face as he tucks a strand of hair that came loose mid-twirl, locking eyes with mine before pressing his lips against mine. For a second, I freeze in place before kissing back, wrapping my arms around his neck as he wraps his around my waist and lifts me slightly off the ground. We stay like this, wrapped up in each other's embrace, lips locked against one another's, before pulling away.

Donnie & Y/N: *breathless* "Whoa."

Donnie: "That was..."

Y/N: "Ingenious."

Donnie: *chuckles* "Yeah."

Y/N: "So, can we expect to do this again?"

Donnie smiles as we exit the library and walk towards the school's front entrance.

Donnie: "Definitely."

Me: "Great."

Once we reach the doors, Donnie steps ahead of me and holds the door open.

Donnie: "After you, milady."

I giggle at his sweet yet chivalrous gesture, walking past him with a quick kiss on his cheek. Donnie's smile changes to a look of surprise, rubbing his cheek before rushing to catch up to me so we can exchange numbers and keep talking along the way. All in all, it's not a bad way to spend the end of a long day, especially in the company of such a gentlemanly genius.

Wondrous Ways

Rise!Donnie x trans!reader

{A/N: Pronouns for reader are 'they/their/them'}

Y/N awoke from their sleep with a jolt and tried to catch their breath after the dream they just had. Once they have, they try going back to sleep with no avail. So, they walk to the window, leaving it open in case one of the turtles drops by after their patrol, and climbed up the fire escape to the roof of their apartment building.

Ever since they could remember, they came up here for a view of the city and the cool breeze that always seemed to flow by at the perfect time. It helped them calm from nightmares, anxiety, or anything else they stressed over. Tonight, it was their insecurities swarming around in their subconscious, everything they ever disliked about themself voiced aloud in their head till they finally woke up. Occasionally, the turtles, or at least one in particular, made his way into said thoughts.

But Y/N always knew, or at least hoped, that part was just in their head and not what he actually thought about them. They also depended on their happy memories with the turtles, especially Donnie, whenever they needed to keep their nerves at bay. In fact, there was one memory in particular Y/N held dear to their heart.

{Flashback}

Not long after his visit to Hidden City's Witch Town, Leo and Donnie ended up in yet another skating competition. This one, in particular, involved one or two more crashes than usual, and Y/N was treating any scratches, cuts, etc. that Donnie had received afterwards.

Y/N: "I don't know why you let Leo get to you, D. You know Leo's all bark and no bite. What drove you to pick a fight this time?"

Donnie: "Nothing, just basic sibling rivalry. It was bound to occur sooner or later."

Me: "Uh-huh. So it has something to do with a previous fight?"

Donnie: "Not a previous one. Just one that was presumably inevitable. I'm the only one of my brothers with a non-mystic weapon. They can do all these cool, awesome, 'better' things, and all I have is a metal stick. If mystic powers can do everything I can't, what's the point of even having me on the team?"

Me:"Well, for starters, mystic powers don't have half the brains, heart, or talent for fighting that you do. And that 'metal stick' was the start of a technological minefield of possibilities for future weaponry. Also, your technology isn't what makes you important to us, it's the fact that you're always there for us when we need you. If you weren't on the team, the guys would be lost without a clue of how or what to do when the going gets tough."

Ok, so maybe this stuff was from the long list of traits for which Y/N had always admired Donnie.

Donnie: "Yeah, maybe you're right."

Me: "Maybe?"

Donnie: *chuckles* "Ok, you're definitely right. Thanks, Y/N/N."

Me: "Anytime. Just try not to call Leo out on whatever he says when he gets cocky. Deal?"

Donnie nods with a smile, the very same one that could power the city for centuries from the sheer sincerity of it alone. Plus, though he hides it well, maybe he and Y/N aren't so different after all. Maybe, just maybe, a relationship between the two could work out. But that's just wishful thinking, right?

{Present time}

So tonight, Y/N decided to use a combination of both coping mechanisms, with one other they used from time to time. As the breeze blew, they closed their eyes, took deep breaths, played the memories in their head, and let one of their favorite songs echo through the sky as they sang.

Y/N:

I've been watchin' you for some time

Can't stop starin' at those ocean eyes

Burning cities and napalm skies

Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes

Your ocean eyes

No fair

You really know how to make me cry

When you gimme those ocean eyes

I'm scared

I've never fallen from quite this high

Fallin' into your ocean eyes

Those ocean eyes

I've been walkin' through a world gone blind

Can't stop thinkin' of your diamond mind

Careful creature made friends with time

He left her lonely with a diamond mind

And those ocean eyes

No fair

You really know how to make me cry

When you gimme those ocean eyes

I'm scared

I've never fallen from quite this high

Fallin' into your ocean eyes

Those ocean eyes

No fair

You really know how to make me cry

When you gimme those ocean eyes

I'm scared

I've never fallen from quite this high

Fallin' into your ocean eyes

Those ocean eyes

Y/N opened their eyes with a calm smile, their nerves now fully at rest, until a voice spoke up from behind.

Donnie: "Wow."

Y/N turned to see Donnie standing at the center of the rooftop, his eyes wide with surprise and admiration.

Donnie: "You sure you're not an angel in disguise or something?"

Y/N smiled with a soft chuckle, glad that he always had a way to make their nerves wash away. Donnie walks to sit next to Y/N with a kind smile, as always.

Me: "Yeah, pretty sure. So, you liked it?"

There's a brief pause before Donnie decides to answer honestly.

Donnie: "Nope."

Y/N dons a confused look, but widens their eyes when Donnie pulls them into a longing, passionate, loving kiss.

Donnie: "I loved it. And I love you, my Angel."

Y/N's look remained shocked before melting into a lovingly grateful smile.

Me: "I love you too, my Hero."

As they shared another loving kiss, Y/N knew one thing for sure in every part of their mind and heart. No matter how hard life gets, love always has wondrous ways of making things better.

Why Not?

{A/N: I know IRL Sabrina Carpenter wrote the song, but in this universe, it hadn't previously existed}

Key:

Y/N/N = Your Nickname

Donnie, Leo and Y/N have been thick as thieves since they were little. They've always done everything together. Birthdays, lab experiments, movie nights, sleepovers, skateboarding, you name it. In that time, Leo's noticed little things about the relationship between Y/N and Donnie, and so has everyone else. They've also noticed that their friend has quite the gift for singing and songwriting. So today, April and Mikey are gonna help bring this duo closer together than ever before.

Y/N:"I don't know about this."

Y/N and April are standing behind separate microphones in a recording studio while Mikey sits on the other side of the two-way glass mirror. April had an idea to put Y/N's newly written song to music with a sort of remix-like rhythm.

April:"Oh, come on, Y/N/N! It's fun! What's the worst that could happen?"

Me: "Oh, I don't know, technical difficulties, mic trouble, someone in particular could recognize me by my voice."

April: "Hence the use of a unique username and instead of an actual video, it'll be your voice with colorful backgrounds drawn by Mikey. Speaking of which, 'Dr. Feelings' asked me to give you this before we start."

April hands Y/N a small card with writing on both sides.

Front of Card:

Dear Favorite Patient (Don't tell the others),

I understand you might be feeling some mild anxiety about publicly announcing your secretive feelings for my 2nd eldest (and second favorite) brother. But trust me when I say this is all for the best. So, instead of asking 'Why?', you need to be asking...

(See back of card for answer)

Y/N flips the card over and smiles at the question she 'should' be asking. She takes a deep breath and nods to April to confirm that she's ready. April winks towards the two-way mirror, earning a slightly confused look from Y/N, before the music starts.

Y/N (April):

You like New York city in the daytime

I like New York city in the nighttime

You say you like sleeping with the air off

I don't, I need it on

You like the light coming through the windows

I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed

You ignore the music on the radio

I don't, I singalong

I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change

Tell me how we're not alike

But we work so well and we don't even know why

Funny how the stars crossed right

'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why

You can call it fire and ice

But we work so well and we don't even know why

We don't even know why, no no

We don't even know why, no no no

We like it in the daytime

We like it in the end of time

We like it in the daytime

We like it in the end of time

Cold outside and you're just in a t-shirt

I have cold blood even in a sweater

You start your night typing' on the keyboard

I don't, I know you know

I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change

Tell me how we're not alike

But we work so well and we don't even know why

Funny how the stars crossed right

'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why

You can call it fire and ice

But we work so well and we don't even know why

We don't even know why, no no (no no no)

We don't even know why, no no no

No no no no

We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)

We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)

No no no no

We like it in the daytime

(We don't even know, know, know, know, know, know, know, know, know)

Somehow we end up on the same side

And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

Somehow we end up on the same side

And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

April:

Think that we'd be alright

Y/N (April):

Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

Tell me how we're not alike

But we work so well and we don't even know why ('cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)

Funny how the stars crossed right 'cause we work so well and we don't even know why

You can call it fire and ice

But we work so well and we don't even know why ('cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)

We don't even know why, no no

We don't even know why, no no no

No no no no

We like it in the daytime

We like it in the end of time (we don't even know why)

No no no no

We like it in the daytime

We like it in the nighttime

April motions with her hand for 'Mikey' to cut the feed before walking through the door to stand on the other side of the mirror. After about a minute passes by, Donnie walks into the room with a smile.

Y/N: "Donnie! What are you...?"

Before Y/N can finish, Donnie pulls her into a lasting, longing, loving, passionate kiss. Thinking of nothing else to say, Y/N smirks and leans her forehead against his own.

Y/N:"Took you long enough."

They share a chuckle before sharing yet another loving kiss. Meanwhile, on the other side of the glass, April calls Mikey on her phone.

Mikey:"So?"

April: "Mission accomplished, doc."

Mikey cheers loudly over the phone, so April pulls the phone away from her ear until he's done.

April: "I know, Mike. I'm excited, too. Hey. I didn't look 'cause I thought it was for Y/N's eyes only. But what was on the back of that card?"

From the other side of the phone line, Mikey dons a confident grin as he replies to April's question with what's written on the back of the card word for word.

Mikey & Back of Card: "Why not?"

Lucky Spark

{A/N: I know that in reality Katy Perry wrote the song, but in this universe, it hadn't previously existed}

Key:

Y/S/N = Your Stage Name

Y/F/N = Your Full Name

This was it. The night the turtles & April would get the chance to meet their favorite singer, Y/S/N AKA Y/F/N. Somehow, Donnie had managed to get the five of them backstage passes, as well as front row seats to her latest concert. No matter how much the others persisted, the tech genius refused to give up how he had gotten the tickets, or how it was so easy for him to do so. Regardless, they couldn't be more grateful to him for a kind gesture such as this. Little did they know, they were not only in for the time of their lives, but for the surprise of their lives as well.

Leo: "Donnie, this is incredible!"

Raph: "Yeah, thanks for getting us these VIP passes & tickets. Grateful as we are, you're still not gonna tell us how you got such great seats?"

Donnie: "Worry not, dear Raphael. By the end of the night, questions will be both answered and revealed, & fun will be had by all."

April: "Come on, D. One scientist to another, this is all legal and not at all incriminating for any parties involved right?"

This question raised some worrisome suspicion for the other three turtles. Donnie could be quite secretive, but that sometimes meant that there were some strings attached to his methods. While Donnie understood their concerns, he couldn't help but laugh at such a theory.

Donnie: "I say again, fear not. Everything that has & will occur within the last 48 hours was completely legal, non-incriminating, and somewhat intentional for any and all 'parties' involved."

That last part was a bit confusing for the others, but before any other questions could be asked or answered, the lights went out before a bright spotlight shone on the person these five would soon get the chance to meet.

Y/N: "Good evening, fellow New Yorkers. Everybody good, we having fun tonight?"

The whole crowd, turtles & April included, cheered in response, their excitement increasing with every passing minute.

Y/N: "Alright, well then, let's get this show on the road. Tonight, me and my back-up singers would like to open with a song that's very near and dear to me personally. It's dedicated to a very special person who's been the light of my life this past month. If he's out there somewhere listening, wish me luck babe. You're my lucky star, and this one's for you."

As the music began, the fangirls in the audience aww'ed at such a sweet gesture, Meanwhile, unbeknownst to anyone, Donnie gave her a warm, loving smile, his heart warmed at the idea of some lucky guy getting such special attention from such an incredible person.

Y/N:

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag

Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin

Like a house of cards, one blow from cavin' in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?

Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you?

'Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light

And let it shine

Just own the night

Like the Fourth of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework

Come on, show 'em what you're worth

Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"

As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, let your colors burst

Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"

You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

You don't have to feel like a waste of space

You're original, cannot be replaced

If you only knew what the future holds

After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed

So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow

And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light

And let it shine

Just own the night

Like the Fourth of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework

Come on, show 'em what you're worth

Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"

As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, let your colors burst

Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"

You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

It's always been inside of you, you, you

And now it's time to let it through

'Cause baby, you're a firework

Come on, show 'em what you're worth

Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"

As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, let your colors burst

Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"

You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

Y/N (Back-up Singers):

(Boom, boom, boom)

(Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon)

Oh boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

As the song ended, the entire stadium erupted in loud cheers, applause, and praise at the sheer perfection of the singer's vocals. It was clear from the tone & emphasis in her voice that, whoever the song was meant for, he was very important to her. Throughout the night, Y/N sang her heart out, earning her more praise with every song. Once the performance was over, she gave her fans her signature pose, and gave the audience a wink as her fingers made a peace sign.

Y/N: "Thank you New York City, goodnight!"

Once the rest of the building cleared out, the gang headed backstage. Donnie was bearing a wide smirk as he prepared to give his family the biggest 'shock & awe' moment of their lives. Once they showed their passes to the security guard, he kindly guided them to the door with a star & Y/N's stage name on it.

Security Guard: "You're on your own from here, guys. Good luck, have fun, and try not to pass out from the excitement!"

As April knocked on the door, Donnie turned to face the security guard with a grateful nod. They knew each other from previous experiences, all of them positive. As Y/N responded to the knock, Donnie turned back towards the door as the five of them took a deep breath to calm their nerves & ease their excitement.

Y/N: "Come on in, guys!"

Leo then stepped up to open the door to find Y/N sitting in a chair in front of a well-lit vanity mirror. She then turned to greet her fans and gave them a polite grin. She lived for moments like these. The smiles on her all fans' faces always reassured her that what she does for a living brought nothing but good things into the world. Well, that and thelucky spark of a chance encounter she'd had no longer than a month and a half ago with the man who was now her S.O.

Y/N: "Hi guys, it's so nice to meet all of you. If you have any questions at all, I'd be more than happy to..."

Before she could finish, Donnie rushed up to her and pulled her into a longing kiss full of love, gratitude, joy, & relief that he could hold her close after waiting all night for this moment. As Y/N happily returned the sentiment and kissed him back, the others stood frozen. Their jaws had practically dropped to the floor in pure shock, their eyes wide as they realized. He got star quality tickets, because he was dating the star! Him, Donatello Hamato, their brother and friend, had evidently been dating the Y/S/N for the past month. Once they had parted, they sent each other loving smiles before turning towards their audience with a simple shrug of their shoulders while bearing sly smirks, each one identical to the other.

Y/N & Donnie: "You didn't see that coming?"

FAB, Flowers, & Feelings

{A/N: In reality Ruth B. wrote this song, but in this universe, the song hadn't previously existed; Photo above is from the episode "Stuck On You", just to give you an idea of what Y/N and Donnie look like when encased in the FAB spray; Donnie in his position and Y/N in Raph's, minus Mikey & Leo}

Key: FAB = Foam Agent Bonding Y/N/N = Your Nickname

Y/N: "Donnie, you are one of my best friends. I love you, I've got your back, I'll always be there for you, and all that sentimental candy floss. But, uh, WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE A CAN OF FAB SPRAY LYING AROUND AGAIN? In my room of all places? Why not locked away somewhere in your lab, and the only way to open it is via voice identification?"

Today was like any other day for Y/N and Donnie. Well, at the very least, it was like any other day. Until, mere moments ago, when Y/N had knocked over a can of FAB spray she didn't know was there with her elbow as she turned in the seat at her desk to face Donnie as he crawled through her bedroom window for a surprise visit. Once the can's actuator hit the ground, the actuator got stuck and sprayed the two into an encasing of the material.

Now they just had to wait until one of two things happened. One, the encasing breaks apart over time. Or two, they figure out a way to safely create a crack that would spread across their entrapment and break away in a matter of seconds. It had been 5 minutes, and so far neither of those things had happened. Donnie felt guilty, which he was in one way or another, but something in Y/N's tone showed restraint. This usually meant she was less 'angry' and more 'trying to understand the cause of the situation'. In spite of this, he sighed and carefully explained his side of the story, so as not to anger his not-so-secret crush any further. Funnily enough, his crush had a not-so-secret crush on him. Why it was no longer considered a secret is because everyone knew about it except the focus of said crush.

Donnie: "I thought it would be a safe place to keep it from my brothers, specifically Leo, because I'm the only one of us who comes in through your window. The others always use the door dressed in a giant trench coat and fedora. Although, in hindsight, the shelf in your closet might've been a better place other than out in the open on your desk beside the purple roses I got you for your birthday last month. Which can only mean one thing, I've spent too much time inhaling too many chemicals from my experiments, and it's caused me to become as smart as the Purple Dragons. Or worse, as smart as-*gulp*-Leo. "

As Donnie shuddered at the thought, Y/N couldn't help but break her icy exterior as she let a laugh slip with a smile.

Y/N: "Well, it's a common mistake. Even an incredibly tenacious, smart, brave, caring person like you can have the occasional slip of the mind. If anything, it just means you're as human as anyone else, no matter what species you are, there's a little 'human' in all of us."

Once Donnie heard this, he let out a sigh of relief with a smile that Y/N wished she could see. She loved the way she could make him smile with the simplest of sentences. She'd trade everything else in the world to catch even a glance of that smile. It was part of the reason she had been working on what she had before Donnie had showed up.

At that moment, Y/N's laptop made a sound that made Donnie jerk his head toward the source of whatever had made him lose his train of thought. He carefully rolled over to Y/N's desk to see that a notification on the screen that read 'Do you want to save this email draft?'. Donnie checked to see who the email was meant for, only to see Mikey's email address: drfeelings@yeah,thatone.com. He then looked to see what they had been emailing each other. All that was in the email space was the link to a video titled 'Floral Flirtations'.

Donnie: "Y/N/N, what is this?"

Y/N froze with a look of shock, her mind racing to come up with a good excuse for him to simply ignore the email and turn her to the computer so she could send it.

Y/N: "Uh, don't worry about it. It's just something I recorded for fun to pass the time. Just let me send it, and we can get back to figuring out how to get out of this thing."

As if the universe had heard her, you could say karma was the cause of the sudden breaking of the Fab Spray. Once they were both fully free, Donnie practically raced to sit in Y/N's desk chair, click on the link and press play on the video. At this point, knowing Donnie, all she could do was sit there and wait for his reaction to her confession of her feelings for him.

Y/N: "Hey Mikey, so as you and 'Dr. Feelings' suggested, I've written up a song to get these things of my chest. You're welcome to hear it under one condition. Donnie can't find this. If he found this video, and discovered my true feelings for him, he'd never let me hear the end of it.-*chuckles*-He's got more in common with Leo than he'd care to realize. So, here goes nothing..."

Y/N:

Maybe it's the way you say my name

Maybe it's the way you play your game

But it's so good, I've never known anybody like you

But it's so good, I've never dreamed of nobody like you

And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime

And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine

'Cause I'm in a field of dandelions

Wishing on every one that you'll be mine, mine

And I see forever in your eyes

I feel okay when I see you smile, smile

Wishing on dandelions all of the time

Praying to the gods that one day you'll be mine

Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time

I know that you are the one for me

'Cause it gets so hard to breathe

When you're looking at me

I've never felt so alive and free

When you're looking at me

I've never felt so happy

And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime

And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine

'Cause I'm in a field of dandelions

Wishing on every one that you'll be mine, mine

And I see forever in your eyes

I feel okay when I see you smile, smile

Wishing on dandelions all of the time

Praying to the gods that one day you'll be mine

Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time

Dandelion, into the wind you go

Won't you let my darling know?

Dandelion, into the wind you go

Won't you let my darling know that?

I'm in a field of dandelions

Wishing on every one that you'll be mine, mine

And I see forever in your eyes

I feel okay when I see you smile, smile

Wishing on dandelions all of the time

Praying to God that one day you'll be mine

Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time

I'm in a field of dandelions

Wishing on every one that you'll be mine, mine

Donnie sat there, eyes wide, silent as a ghost, as he tried to comprehend what he had just seen. Meanwhile, Y/N was stood behind him, racked with nerves, patiently waiting for his rebuttal of her feelings. Then, he slowly rose from the chair, and turned to her with a lovesick smile, as wide as the ocean, his mind finally at peace knowing that his feelings were so greatly reciprocated. Y/N's look changed from nervousness to confusion.

Y/N: "Don, you al--"

Before she could finish her statement, Donnie quickly pulled her into a lasting kiss filled with love, passion, romance, longing, gratefulness, and the peace of mind both of them had craved from one another so much, for so long. As they pulled apart, he rested his forehead on hers, and uttered the four words he had wanted to say from the moment healed eyes on her.

Donnie: "I love you too, Y/N. I always have, always will, and if you'll be my girl, I'll be your guy. Till the end of the line."

Y/N couldn't help but smile, tears of joy filling her eyes as she nodded her response, and pulled him into another passion-filled kiss.

From then on, they remained the same lovesick lovebirds they had been from day one of their newfound relationship. As for the email, it never got sent. So, all in all, you could infer that...

FAB, Flowers, and Feelings are the perfect recipe for the start of a relationship.'

Careless Crushing

{A/N: I know that in reality First to Eleven performed this cover, but in this universe, the cover hadn't previously existed; Photo above is what the studio looks like}

Key:

Y/Y/U = Your Youtube Username

Y/N/N = Your Nickname

Y/N: "Howdy, friendly followers! It's me, your friendly neighborhood cover girl. Y/Y/U's the name, and song covers are my game. As always, helping me from behind the scenes are my besties, April O'Neil and Miguel von Ryan. You guys wanna say hi to today's viewers?"

Mikey: "Cowabunga, dudes and dudettes!"

April: "How's it going, folks? Welcome to the channel!"

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to shed some light on the situation. For as long as they could remember, Y/N, Mikey, and April have been BFFs till the end. For fun, Mikey recorded videos of the girls singing songs from their favorite cartoons when they were kids. One day, who knows how long ago, the trio decided they should post their videos to provide entertainment for those who shared the same passions as them. Once the girls got permission from their parents, the Mad Dogs agreed on one condition. Since mutants had to be kept a secret from other humans, Mikey had to operate behind the scenes.

Today, April and Mikey had one specific cover that they wanted their friend to perform. The week before, April had done a quick video message to their viewers that they needed some of them to request a cover of "I Don't Care" by Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber. Her reasoning behind the request was a simple one. In vain, she and Mikey had tried to convince Y/N to reveal her feelings for Donnie face-to-face. So, they decided to use her commitment to the satisfaction of her friends, followers, and fans to give her the emphasized push she needed. That got the viewers buzzing with excitement, and they all agreed to take part in the duo's little experiment.

Now back to the present, the three of them were ready, set, and excited to get this show going, two of the three especially. Y/N gave a quick nod once her friends had finished their greeting and decided to carry on with what she thought was yet to come.

Y/N: "Alright, let's see what you guys are asking for today."

Y/N glanced to the side to scan the chat for song requests. Every one of them was for one song, and one song only.

Y/N: "'I Don't Care' by Ed Sheeran and Justin B. Uh, well, I guess if that's what the fans want, we should give them just that."

Y/N's cheery, carefree smile shifted to that of a look of nervousness. Mikey and April shared a fist bump from underneath the studio's mix table, out of Y/N's line of sight. Their plan was working perfectly. Now all they had to do was let the magic happen while they waited for the final part of their surprise to show up. Y/N then took a deep breath to calm her nerves, necessary now more than ever, and gave her friends the signal to begin the music.

{A/N: Start the video at 0:08; Bold and underlined is wherever I've changed the lyrics; Lyrics in parentheses is part of the prerecorded background music; Stop the video at 4:44}

Y/N (April):

I'm at a party I don't wanna be at

And I don't ever wear a suit and tie, yeah

Wondering if I could sneak out the back

Nobody's even looking me in my eyes

Can you take my hand

Finish my drink, sayin', "Shall we dance?" (Hell, yeah)

You know I love ya, did I ever tell ya?

You make it better like that

Don't think I fit in at this party

Everyone's got so much to say (Yeah)

I always feel like I'm nobody, mm

Who wants to fit in anyway?

'Cause I don't care when I'm with my darlin' D

All the bad things disappear

And you're making me feel like maybe I am somebody

I can deal with the bad nights

When I'm with my darlin' D

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

'Cause I don't care as long as you just hold me near

You can take me anywhere

And you're making me feel like maybe I am somebody

I can deal with the bad nights

When I'm with my darlin' D

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

We at a party we don't wanna be at

Tryna talk, but we can't hear ourselves

Read your lips, I'd rather kiss 'em right back

With all these people all around

I'm frozen in anxiety

But I'm told it's where we're s'posed to be

You know what? It's kinda crazy 'cause I really don't mind

When you make it better like that

Don't think we fit in at this party

Everyone's got so much to say, oh yeah, yeah

When we walked in, I said *chuckles* I'm sorry, mm

But now I think that we should stay

'Cause I don't care when I'm with my darlin' D

All the bad things disappear

Yeah, you're making me feel like maybe I am somebody

I can deal with the bad nights

When I'm with my darlin' D

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

'Cause I don't care as long as you just hold me near

You can take me anywhere

Yeah, you're making me feel like I'm loved by somebody

I can deal with the bad nights

When I'm with my darlin' D

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (no)

I don't like nobody but it's like you're the only one here

I don't like nobody but you, darlin', I don't care

I don't like nobody but you, I hate everyone here

I don't like nobody but you, darlin', yeah

'Cause I don't care (Don't care)

When I'm with my darlin' D (Oh yeah)

All the bad things disappear (Disappear)

And you're making me feel like maybe I am somebody (Maybe I'm somebody)

I can deal with the bad nights (With the bad nights)

When I'm with my darlin' D

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Ooh, yeah, yeah)

'Cause I don't care as long as you just hold me near (Me near)

You can take me anywhere (Anywhere, anywhere)

And you're making me feel like I'm loved by somebody

(I'm loved by somebody, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I can deal with the bad nights

When I'm with my darlin' D

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

{A/N: Just to give you an idea of what's to come}

Towards the end, Donnie had quietly snuck into the studio, donning his human disguise, while giving the camera the signal to keep quiet about his little surprise visit. Once the song was over, he quickly spun her into a surprise kiss full of love, longing, and the relief of knowing that he wasn't alone in his feelings for Y/N. Y/N, though utterly frozen in shock, quickly lost all her inhibitions as she reciprocated his act of pure love.

All the while, they couldn't thank April and Mikey enough for what they had done. As a way of repaying her, Y/N figured she'd set April and Leo up for a date. This proved successful because a few years later, the happy couples had a double wedding and eventually became the godparents to each of the other couple's children. I guess it just goes to show...

There is nothing wrong with a little careless crushing on the one you love.

Shot in the Dark

(A/N: I know that in reality this remix was created by Emma Heesters, but in this universe the song hadn't previously existed)

Key:

Y/N/N = Your Nickname

Y/F/N = Your Full Name

Y/L/N = Your Last Name

Leo: "Y/N, you and I are best friends, right?"

No response.

Leo: "We've grown up together, trained together, played video games together, skated together. Heck, we've even fought together on the rare occasion where your service has been required. All in all, the time we spend together is preciously valued by yours truly. So why is it that, in this particular moment, your eyes haven't left that pen and paper you've been writing on for the past--"

He checked the watch Donnie made him for their last birthday.

Leo: "10 minutes. Don't tell me after 7 years of friendship, you've finally found me, dare I say it, disinteresting? Or does this have to do with the 'trial run' date with April Donnie left for 12 minutes ago?"

The girl finally lifted her gaze to face Leo with a look of discontent at the overdramatic speech she had heard time and time again. She could never prove it, but she could almost swear that he rehearsed everything word for word on a weekly basis.

Y/N: "First of all, I've just been busy working on a remix of my favorite songs, and no this has nothing to do with Donnie's date. Second of all, as long as you keep up that attitude of yours, combined with the repetitive stunts you pull just to prove how much of a champ you really are, you will never be disinteresting. Not to me at least, and certainly not to your family."

Y/N smiled as she drove her argument home, a smile that Leo replicated as he gave an argument of his own, copying her countdown strategy.

Leo: "First of all, I doubt that very much, and kudos on the songwriting. Second, Y/N, you are my family. We all see you as the sister, or daughter in Pop's case, that we never had. Although, Donnie can be a bit of a drama queen."

Y/N laughed at yet another one of Leo's infamous one-liners.

Y/N: "That joke is so old, it requires a walking stick."

They both began to laugh as if this was the first joke either of them had ever heard. Leo dons his signature cocky grin in curiosity.

Leo: "Then, why are you laughing?"

Y/N: "Because I'm just the walking stick that joke needs."

That just made them laugh even harder, drawing the attention of the team's orange-clad artiste of a chef.

Mikey: "Hey, no fair. You two promised to make sure I was present before you had fun."

As the laughter died down, Y/N went back to her writing while Leo turned to Mikey, who was wearing the signature pout he made when things didn't go his way. Leo wasn't the only one with signature actions for certain situations.

Leo: "Two things, Miguel. One, that was when we were seven and you were six. Two, I made no such promise. Did I, Y/F/N?"

Y/N's writing hand halted in place as her head whipped around to face Leo with a stare she had learned from the purple-clad master himself, and a tone she had picked up from the team's sensei.

Y/N: "Listen, Hot Shot. This can go down one of two ways. One, we can continue this full-name game you've started, Leonardo. Or two, we go back to how things were a few minutes ago and have some good clean fun with each other."

She turned to Mikey with a warm tone and soft smile.

Y/N: "As for you, hombrècito, we were just poking some fun at one of Leo's one-liners."

Leo: "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Why does he get the syrupy sweet tone?"

Y/N: "Because he isn't annoying, mostly."

As Y/N got back to writing, again, Mikey donned a knowing smile as he accidentally thought aloud.

Mikey: "Wow, Headstrong, smart, and can switch from sourpuss sass to a sweeter than honey disposition. She really is perfect for Donnie, isn't she? Wait, what do you mean, 'mostly'?"

At that moment, Y/N sprung from her spot on the sofa with a look of pride, supposedly unaware of what her friend had said about her other friend, and secret crush.

Y/N: "It's done. It's actually done."

Leo: "Wait, seriously? You wrote an entire song in under 20 minutes? Well, let's see what you got."

Mikey: "Tsk, tsk tsk. Oh Leo, poor sweet clueless Leo. Bro, why see a song when you can hear a song?"

Leo: "That's it, I've had it. What is this 'Gang up on Leo Night'?"

Y/N laughed at the scene in front of her.

Y/N: "Alright, you two. Break it up. Mikey, I'll only sing if I can borrow that soundboard you keep holed up in you room. Deal?"

Mikey immediately agreed, though he was worried as to what her reaction would be once she discovered the truth behind his words. Oh well, he could deal with it after he added 'talented singer' to the list he and the others wrote up entitled 'Why Y/N is Donnie's Perfect Girl'.

(Bold and underlined is wherever I've changed the lyrics; Stop the video at 3:20)

Y/N:

I won't lie to you

I know she's just not right for you

And you can tell me if I'm off

But I see it on your face

When you say that she's the one that you want

And you're spending all your time

In this wrong situation

And anytime you want it to stop

I know I can treat you better

Than she can

And any guy like you deserves the very best

Tell me why are we wasting time

On all your wasted cryin'

When you should be with me instead

I know I can treat you better

Better than she can

Don't let me down, down, down

I think I'm losin' my mind now

I'll stop time for you

The second you say you'd like me to

I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing

Baby, just to live life with you

Would be everything I need and this could be so different

Tell me what you want to do

I know I can treat you better

Than she can

And any guy like you deserves the very best

Tell me why are we wasting time

On all your wasted cryin'

When you should be with me instead

I know I can treat you better

Better than she can

I need you, I need you right now

(I think I'm losin' my mind now)

Send my love to your new lover

Treat her better

I gotta let go of all of these ghosts

'Cause we both know we ain't kids no more

Send my love to your new lover

Treat her better

I gotta let go of all of these ghosts

'Cause we both know we ain't kids no more

I know I can treat you better

Than she can

And any guy like you deserves the very best

Tell me why are we wasting time

On all your wasted cryin'

When you should be with me instead

I know I can treat you better

(I think I'm losin' my mind)

Send my love to your new lover (I know I can treat you better)

I need you, I need you right now

I know I can treat you better (Send my love to your new lover)

I know I can treat you better

Don't let me down, down, down

By the end, both brothers were almost stunned to silence, keyword being almost.

Mikey: "Wow, Y/N, you're amazing!"

Leo: "Although, after all that you have to admit that maybe you are just a tad hung up about Donnie's current whereabouts?"

Y/N began to speak before she paused in thought of what Leo was implying.

Y/N: "Well, so what if I was? In the end, it doesn't matter. Assuming that this 'trial run' works out, April's the one he'll have his eye on from here on out. Does the name 'Angelica Schuyler' hold any meaning for you?"

Leo: "Only because it's his favorite musical. Hmm, refresh my memory for me Y/N/N, who was it that introduced him to the art of musical theatre in the first place?"

Mikey: "Y/N/N, from the second you opened us up to the surface world, all Donnie talks about is whatever you do or say when you hang out with him. Just trust us, sometimes taking risks can turn out to be the right thing to do. Besides, we already think of you as a sister, imagine how cool it would be if you ended up becoming our sister in-law. It'd be pizza-rrific!! Come on what do you say? Pretty pretty pretty please?"

Y/N gave a playful eye roll, even the most stone cold heart would melt at Mikey's signature adorable smile, with a glimmer in his eyes just to up the ante.

Y/N: "Well, I guess when you put it like that-"

Before she could finish her thought, Donnie appeared seemingly out of nowhere as he jumped over the back of the couch and in between Leo and Y/N with a look of curiosity.

Donnie: "Hey, Y/N, guys, what's going on?"

Y/N turned to Mikey with a knowing smile as she paraphrased the last thing he had said to her.

Y/N: "Mikey was just putting his fortune telling skills to the test. So, how'd your date go?"

The purple-clad genius let out a small laugh at the idea of his little brother in a fortune teller get-up before answering her question.

Donnie: "It was, eventful. Hey, speaking of the future, you busy Friday night?"

The three of them widened their eyes in surprise, Leo and Mikey especially.

Y/N: "Uh, no, why? What did you have in mind?"

Donnie: "Well, I was hoping you'd be up for a trial run of our own? Say, 'Run of the Mill Pizza' at 8 o'clock?"

Y/N smiled as she held her hand out for Donnie to shake, which he gladly accepted.

Y/N: "It's a date, Handsome."

Donnie: "See you then, Beautiful."

Throughout the night, all they did was talk, laugh, and love every minute of it. Afterwards, while Y/N was helping Donnie with his latest project, she confessed to everything that had happened before his return, right down to the last microscopic detail. So, in the spirit of honesty, he told her that his 'date' with April was actually her plan to give him a push in the right direction. Something she had confessed to have been trying to do for the last 2 years.

Funnily enough, from that moment on, things for the newly pronounced {A/N: Gotcha, XD} couple couldn't have been better. They got engaged a year later, and married 2 months after that. As for for the others, they never did find out whether or not it was their relentless encouragement that brought them together, or their own self confidence. Although, anyone who wasn't part of the lovebird couple voted for the former. In summation to all this, there was one thing they could all agree on:

This was the best shot in the dark, anyone could ever take.

Better Than Before

{A/N: I know that in reality Isabela Merced wrote the song, but in this universe, this song hadn't previously existed; The image above is what the studio looks like}

Key:

Y/N/N = Your Nickname

Time was running out. It was only a week until Donnie & Leo's birthday, and Y/N had run out of ideas for gifts. She had gotten Leo a blue unicorn onesie and a t-shirt with the word 'CHAMP' written on it, but she couldn't think of anything special enough to get for her boyfriend of 8 months. At the moment, Mikey was sitting on her bed while she paced around the room, trying to help her think of ideal gift ideas for the purple-clad tech genius.

Mikey: "How about a mechanical pizza oven?"

Y/N shot Mikey a knowing smile.

Y/N: "Are you sure that's not something you want rather than what Donnie wants?"

Mikey returned her smile as he glanced away from her.

Mikey: "Maybe. Although, he has always wanted uranium for his inventions."

Y/N let out a small chuckle.

Y/N: "Tell you what, I'll ask Donnie to see if he can make one for your birthday, but right now I need your help to figure out what to get Donnie that shows how important he is to me. As for the uranium thing, maybe I should get him something easy to find and less radioactive."

Mikey decided to use one of Dr. Feelings' tactics.

Mikey: "Well, how important to you is he?"

Y/N gave some hard thinking to his question before answering

 Y/N: "Well, before I met you guys, I wasn't exactly the most social person. I mainly stayed in my room reading books, studying for school, or just sitting at my desk staring at my bulletin board lost in thought."

Mikey: "About what?"

Y/N: "Promise you won't laugh or anything?"

Mikey nodded in reassurance.

Y/N: "Mostly about what life would be like if I hadn't been so shy. Then, one day on my way home from school I was confronted by the Purple Dragons. They tried to convince me to join their club, but I wasn't interested. I had heard of the things they did outside of school, and decided I was better off avoiding what they called 'fun'. When I refused, they didn't take it very well. Luckily, Donnie swooped in and saved the day. Whenever I bring it up, he refers to himself as a knight in shining battle armor."

Y/N laughed at the memory before an idea finally popped into her head. Mikey slowly walked over to her and waved a hand in front of her face.

Mikey: "Y/N/N? Hello?"

Y/N shook herself out of her stupor.

Y/N: "Mikey, you're a genius. Thanks to you, I have an idea for what to give Donnie for his birthday, but I'm gonna need your help. I'll also need help from the others to set everything up.  Are you in?"

Mikey: "You bet I am Y/N, and I'm sure the others would be happy to help too!"

Over the next few days, Mikey and Y/N were hard at work on Donnie's birthday surprise. Once that part had been taken care of, Y/N called on April to find a suitable place to present it to him. She then called on the rest of the team for assistance in making sure Donnie would arrive on time. Finally, the big day came. Donnie and Leo had their usual birthday celebration: special breakfast cooked by Mikey, party games they had invented when they were kids, and special birthday speeches given by April and Raph.

Finally, it was time for presents. Now at the moment, Y/N was in the makeshift studio she had put together with April and Mikey, so she wasn't there to give Leo her gifts in person. Since Leo was in on her plan, he didn't mind her temporary absence and was no less happy to find a blue unicorn onesie and 'CHAMP' t-shirt as her present to him.

However, Donnie was a bit suspicious of his girlfriend's absence, but Mikey reassured him that he would be seeing her momentarily. At that moment, April stood from her seat. "So Donnie you may be wondering where Y/N is. Well, she's organized a little surprise for you in honor of your birthday. So, if you will please allow us to guide you to where she is, we can be on our way." Donnie's smile grew wider as he nodded and rose to follow April and his brothers to his mystery surprise. To his surprise, they had led him to an abandoned recording studio. The room on the other side of the glass had been dark until Mikey pressed a button to reveal Y/N standing in front of a microphone wearing a set of headphones, a purple dress, and a loving smile.

Y/N: "Hey, Handsome. So, it took me a while to figure out what in the world I could give you for your birthday that shows just how much you mean to me, but I think I finally figured it out. Here's hoping you like it."

She glanced to Mikey with a nod as he pressed another button to start the music, unaware of just how much more loving Donnie's smile had gotten.

{Bold and underlined is wherever I've changed the lyrics}

Y/N:

All this time, I thought I found my

Brightest days

My happy place

Then

Came

You

And I knew

I am strong on my own

I can brave any storm

There's no darkness

That I can't walk through

But as good as I've been on my own

I still know that it's true

I'm better with you

Ocean deep

That's how far my love goes

And I won't sleep

Till I know all I can know

About you

I am strong on my own

I can brave any storm

There's no darkness

That I can't walk through

But as good as I've been on my own

I still know that it's true

I'm better with you

And no matter what comes now

Hey, yeah

I know I can't lose

I'm better with you

Hey

Better with you, yeah

Better with you

Better with you

I am strong on my own

There's no darkness

That I can't walk through

I've been good on my own

But I know it's true

I'm better with you

I'm better with you

As the music faded, everyone burst into applause and cheers as Donnie ran over to her to pull her into a lasting kiss full of gratitude, longing, passion, happiness, and love. Y/N couldn't help but give a loving smirk.

Y/N: "So, I'm guessing you liked it?"

They both shared a small laugh as Donnie replied.

Donnie: "Of course I did, my beautiful Aphrodite. That was better than any other thing you could have given me."

Afterwards, they all headed back to the lair for cake and a Jupiter Jim movie marathon, with Y/N and Donnie cuddled into their spot on the couch. Throughout the night, they all talked and laughed with each other, content with how their lives had become, especially Y/N. From then on, she was sure of one thing that would never change. Thanks to Donnie...

Her life was better than before.

Not Afraid

{A/N: I know that in reality Taylor Swift wrote the song, but in this universe this song hadn't previously existed}

In a small apartment somewhere in NYC, a girl sits hunched over her desk working on her latest, as her boyfriend would call it, 'masterpiece'. That girl was none other than Y/N, the 6 month long girlfriend of a certain purple-clad hero. Y/N groaned in frustration as she crumpled yet another piece of paper into a ball and tossed it over her shoulder aiming for the trash can in her room. Unfortunately, instead of landing in the trash can, it gently hit her roommate, April O'Neil, in the head.

April: "Hey, what did that paper ever do to you to deserve the job of hitting me in the head?"

Y/N smiled as she turned in surprise to see her roommate in the doorway to her bedroom.

Y/N: "Oops, sorry April, I've just been working on a song and so far all my ideas are useless."

April: "Hey, don't beat yourself up about it. The right idea will come to you when it comes to you."

Y/N: "Thanks Apes, so where have you been on a Saturday afternoon? Job searching again?"

April: "No, I was hanging with the guys, all except Donnie. Leo said something about 'preparing for your next hangout sesh'. Just out of curiosity, when is your next hangout sesh?"

Y/N: "Tonight, although I don't see any reason why he should have to 'prepare' anything. Did Leo say he seemed nervous or anything?" 

April: "Please, has Donnie ever been nervous about anything? Overconfident maybe, but nervous? I don't think so."

Y/N: "Well, you'd be surprised to find out that there's more to him than meets the eye. Although, I keep telling him there's never any reason to be-"

Y/N stopped mid-sentence as an idea popped into her head. April gave a look of confusion at the sudden pause.

April: "Y/N, is everything ok?"

Y/N: "It's better than ok. I finally have an idea for a song!"

April: "Seriously, you have a full song in your head in under 20 seconds?!"

Y/N: "What can I say? I guess I'm just that good."

April replied with a sly smirk.

April: "That, or spending all your free time with Donnie has made you a bit too cocky."

They both gave a small laugh at the idea before Y/N began the music she had prepared in advance for her current work in progress. However, they were both unaware that the man, or turtle in question had just arrived at their apartment's balcony, opened the window, and had stopped short of Y/N's bedroom entrance awaiting to hear his girlfriend's latest project.

{A/N: Bold and underlined is wherever I've changed the lyrics}

Y/N:

There's something 'bout the way

The street looks when it's just rained

There's a glow off the pavement, you walk me to the car

And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there

In the middle of the parking lot, yeah

Oh, yeah

We're driving down the road, I wonder if you know

I'm trying so hard not to get caught up now

But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair

{A/N: In his human disguise of course}

Absent-mindedly making me want you

And I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but, with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

So, baby, drive slow 'til we run out of road in this fast-paced town

I wanna stay right here, in this passenger's seat

You put your eyes on me

In this moment now, capture it, remember it

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

Oh, oh

Well, you stood there with me in the doorway

My hands shake, I'm not usually this way but

You pull me in and I'm a little more brave

It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something

It's fearless

Oh, yeah

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

Oh, oh

Oh-oh, yeah

As the song ended, April momentarily had her mouth agape before shaking herself out of her dazed state to focus her attention on her friend, who was patiently waiting for feedback.

April: "Wow Y/N, I don't know what else to say except that it was great."

Y/N: "Thanks, April. What did you think, Handsome?"

Y/N turned to the doorway with a knowing smile as Donnie then stepped into their line of sight with a sheepish grin.

Donnie: "How did you know I was-"

Y/N: "Babe, I spend all my free time with you and your family. Not to mention the fact that I'm your girlfriend. I'm pretty sure I've picked up a few things on how to tell when there's a tech-savvy ninja in my home."

Donnie: "Touché, my dear. As for your question, you've once again written another masterpiece my Nightingale."

April: "Well, I'll leave you two lovebirds to your own personal business, so long as that business has nothing to do with funny business."

Y/N: "Moi, acting ungentlemanly towards my girlfriend? How on Earth could you suggest such a thing?"

April gave a playful eye roll at her friend's overly dramatic 'performance' before getting up to walk towards the door and shut it behind her.

Y/N: "So, I hear you've prepared something for tonight? May I ask what that might be?"

Donnie: "But of course, my dear. You see, April told me not too long ago that you have never seen any of my father's movies, nor have you seen the Jupiter Jim classics. So, I propose that we partake in a marathon of what I believe to be the greatest movies in cinematic history."

Y/N: "Well, Drama Queen, I would be honored to join you in an activity such as the one you've suggested."

So they did just as Donnie proposed. They sat on Y/N's bed, Y/N cuddled into Donnie's plastron, smiling and enjoying themselves throughout their marathon and long after as the night progressed. As they both began to drift into a peaceful slumber, Donnie's arms wrapped around his love's small form as he pressed a kiss to her forehead before relaxing into the pillows they both laid against. As of right now, they were both sure of one thing: As long as they stuck by each other...

They were not afraid of the years to come.

Foreign Love

{A/N: The image above is Donnie and Y/N's daughter; This is the final sequel to "When The Sun Sets, Will It Last?" and takes place 6 years after the last story}

It was another peaceful night in the lair. Everything was running as smoothly as it usually did. Raph & Casey sparring in the garage, Mikey working on his graffiti art, Leo perfecting his skateboarding skills with Angelica as his audience, and Donnie with Y/N in the lab working on their latest project. On this particular night, April O'Neil was headed towards the lair to hang out with her favorite, albeit her only, goddaughter. April was always ready to lend a helping hand to Donnie and Y/N if they needed someone to keep an eye on Angelica. As she approached her destination, she immediately spotted Leo by the skate ramp enveloping Angelica in a bear hug as he ruffled her hair, the girl squealing and laughing in delight. April smiled widely as she slowly walked up to them to surprise them.

April: "How's my favorite niece in the whole world?"

Angelica turned her head towards the voice and ran to her aunt as Leo released her from the hug, his loving smile never leaving his face as he watched his niece run towards his girlfriend.

Leo: "Now this is a sight I like to see. Two out of 3 of my favorite girls, smiling and laughing."

Angelica turned back towards Leo in confusion.

Angelica: "Who's the third girl, Uncle Leo?"

Leo: "Well, I can't exactly dislike your mother now, can I? After all, she gave us the best niece/goddaughter in the world. Besides, if I did, your father would have my head."

Angelica was probably the only girl in the world with 2 godmothers and 4 godfathers, but Donnie and Y/N wouldn't have it any other way. She nodded in understanding, before getting to the point she was about to make before her uncle interjected.

Angelica: "Can I ask you guys something?"

April: "Of course, you can ask us anything. But, are you sure you wouldn't rather ask your parents?"

Angelica shook her head as she explained her reasoning.

Angelica: "No, I'd like an outside opinion about this."

Leo took on his signature sly grin before taking a seat on the couch, April on the opposite side with Angelica in her lap.

Leo: "Well, now you have to tell us. Spill it, kiddo."

Nothing could've prepared them for what she said next.

Angelica: "How did my parents meet?"

Their eyes widened slightly as they glanced at each other before turning their gazes toward the curious 5-year-old. They were surprised that neither Donnie, nor Y/N, had ever told their daughter how they got together in the first place. Leo cleared his throat as he tried to think of a way to answer his niece's question.

Leo: "Well princesà, I don't really know how to properly explain it to someone of your age."

The little girl frowned before using a tone she had heard her father use with him countless times.

Angelica: "Might I remind you that I am the child of the two most brilliant people in the universe, and have learned a very advanced vocabulary from Daddy?"

April chuckled as she watched the surprised look on her boyfriend's face, just as an idea popped into her head.

April: "You really are your father's daughter. Listen, sweetie, we just don't know how to explain it to you in words. So, what's Mommy's favorite motto?"

Angelica smiled as she recalled the phrase her mother had always taught her to lift her spirits.

Angelica: "If you can't say it, sing it."

April: "Exactly, so think you can go ask Uncle Mikey for his guitar and I'll tell you all about the day your dad met your mom?"

Angelica immediately raced to her uncle's room, asked for the guitar with the manners her mother had instructed her to use at all times, got the permission she had asked for, and quickly returned to her aunt and uncle with the guitar in hand.

April: "Alrighty then, sit back, relax, and listen."

{A/N: Start the video at 0:10 and stop it at 2:32; Bold and underlined is wherever I've changed the lyrics}

April:

She played the fiddle in an Irish band

But she fell in love with a science man

Kissed her on the neck and then he took her by the hand

Said, "Darlin', I just want to dance"

He met her on Grafton street right outside the café

Split a pizza with her while her brother played the guitar

He asked her 'What does it mean, the Gaelic ink on your arm?'

She said 'It's one of my fave songs, do you want to drink on?'

She took root beer as a chaser, Sprite for the fun

She got Dr. Pepper on the table with ginger ale riding a shotgun

Chatted some more, one more drink at the café

Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance

You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band

But she fell in love with a science man

Kissed her on the neck and then he took her by the hand

Said, "Darlin', I just want to dance-

With my pretty little Galway Girl"

And now she's his, she's his Galway Girl

You know, she beat him at darts and then she beat him at pool

And then he kissed her like there was nobody else in the room

As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool

After dancing to céili singing to trad tunes

Told me he'd never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet

A capella on the bar using her feet for a beat

Said he could have that voice playing on repeat for a week

And in this packed out room swear she was singing to him

You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band

But she fell in love with a science man

Kissed her on the neck and then he took her by the hand

Said, "Darlin', I just want to dance-

With my pretty little Galway Girl"

And now she's his, she's his Galway Girl

Yeah that's right, she's his Galway Girl

And now you're their sweet little Galway Girl

Now they'd outstayed their welcome and it was closing time

He was holding her hand, her hand was holding his

Their coats both smell of soda, pesto, and pine

As theyfilled up their lungs with the cold air of the night

He walked her home then sheasked him inside

To finish some Doritos and another bottle of Sprite

So now I've put them in a song that I wrote

About a Galway Girl and a perfect night

She played the fiddle in an Irish band

But she fell in love with a science man

Kissed her on the neck and then he took her by the hand

Said, "Darlin', I just want to dance-

With my pretty little Galway Girl"

So now she's his, she's his Galway Girl

Yeah that's right, she's his Galway Girl

And now you're their sweet little Galway Girl

Angelica's eyes sparkled with wonder as April smiled at the little girl's cuteness and adoration of the story.

April: "So, what did you think?"

Angelica: "That was incredible, Auntie April! Is that really what happened?"

Leo turned his head to look to the left of the living room to find the very people they were talking about, smiles on their faces, hand in hand, just like the day they met. Except for his future nephew growing in the expectant mother-of-two-to-be.

Y/N: "Why don't you ask us yourself?"

Angelica followed her uncle's gaze to find her parents behind her. She squealed as she ran into her father's arms as he spun her around, the smile never leaving his face.

As the happy little family left, April cuddled into Leo's plastron, a soft sigh leaving both of them as they closed their eyes in delight. As of right now, he couldn't be more proud of, nor thankful for, his brother. Even through all his teasing, he was happy that he had found the girl he would eventually marry and raise a family with. Inspired by his brother's bravery, he eventually worked up the courage to ask April out on a date, with the help of his sister-in-law. He couldn't have been happier when she said yes. Since then, everything seemed to work out for the better. Donnie & Y/N married, Leo and the others became uncles and aunts, Leo and April got engaged, and pretty soon the 'uncles and aunts' thing would repeat itself, maybe even more than once. In conclusion, there was one thing each of them knew for sure...

No matter what the circumstances, in the end, foreign love always wins.

Living My Best Life

{A/N: I know that in reality Sabrina Carpenter wrote the song, but in this universe this song hadn't previously existed; This story is part of the "When the Sun Sets, Will It Last?" series, and takes place a year after the last story}

Tonight was the big night. The night of Donnie and Y/N's first wedding anniversary, and Y/N decided to surprise her favorite, albeit her only, husband by proving that she could be just as dramatic as he occasionally is. How, you might ask? By giving what might be the biggest performance of her life. Well, as big as you can get when you're performing in a cafe. As a favor to their favorite, albeit their only sister in-law, Raph, Leo, and Mikey were currently escorting Donnie to the Central Nervosa cafe, while April and Casey were helping Y/N set the stage for her upcoming performance.

Donnie: "May I ask why the three of you are dragging me to some random cafe when I should be spending the rest of the evening with my wife?"

Donnie annoyedly glared toward his brothers.

Leo: "Trust us D, after you see what the six of us planned for you tonight you will be thanking us for years to come."

Donnie: "And just what is it that I'm thanking you for? And who's 'the six of us'? Last time I checked I only had three brothers."

Mikey: "Us, April, Casey, and Y/N. Speaking of whom, we can't tell you or we'd be in violation of our promise to her."

Donnie: "Alright, I'll bite. Are we almost there?"

Raph: "Actually, we're already here."

As they walked in, Donnie froze in surprise and confusion to see his wife on stage in a lovely purple dress with April and Casey as her backup singers.

Y/N: "Hi, ladies and gentlemen. So, this song's dedicated to my husband as a gift for our very first wedding anniversary, which happens to be tonight. Now I know they say 'No big surprise gifts until every anniversary decade' or something to that effect, but after all he's done for me and all the support he's given me through everything, I figure that this is the least I can do. Thanks to him, I'm living my best life. So, without further ado, this is for my favorite drama queen. Trust me Handsome, you're not the only one."

April quickly interjected with an "It's true" which was met with laughter from the crowd. As the music started, Y/N took a deep breath to calm her nerves, and Donnie couldn't help but smile brightly and lovingly at the grand gesture his wife had made.

Y/N (April & Casey):

So what if I just wanna be

A little bit out of my mind?

I let you take my heart and I like it

So what if I happen to be

A little bit out of my mind?

I bet I'll steal your heart and you'll like it

And I don't think it's any kind of secret

I feel you from a million miles away

And your love is the best thing that I got

And it's only just begun

But it's never gonna stop

It's the best thing

The best thing that I got

I know sometimes it seems like I

I'm just a little bit behind

I get back on the beat and you know it

And sometimes I can tell that I

I'm just a little out of time

I make you skip a beat and I know it

But I don't think it's any kind of secret

I think of you a billion times a day

Your love is the best thing that I got

And it's only just begun

But it's never gonna stop

It's the best thing

The best thing that I got

So don't feel lonely tonight

You know I'll never be hard to find

So don't go out of your mind (Out of your mind)

You know I'll never be too hard to find

I know sometimes it seems like I

I'm just a little bit behind

I get back on the beat and you know it

Your love is the best thing that I got

And it's only just begun

But it's never gonna stop

It's the best thing

The best thing that I got

Your love is the best thing

(Best thing that I got x3, Best thing)

And it's only just begun

(Best thing that I got x3)

It's the best thing

As the song ended, the crowd burst with cheers and applause. The girls bowed before walking off the stage, Y/N towards someone in particular.

Y/N: "So, what did you think?"

Donnie gave her a loving smile in response.

Donnie: "Wonderful surprise, my Aphrodite. I couldn't be more surprised, nor relieved that I'm not the only drama queen who embraces that title."

They all gave out a laugh as they headed back towards the lair. The happy couple spent the rest of their anniversary in the company of those they love and appreciate. Throughout the night, they talked, laughed, rewatched all their favorite  movies with their friends and family, and managed to sneak in a few loving kisses towards each other. They were both well aware that as long as they had their family, and each other:

They would always be living their best lives.

More Than Enough

{A/N: This is a sequel to "When the Sun Sets, Will It Last" and takes place 1 year after its events}

Key:

Y/N/N = Your Nickname

Y/F/C/: Your Favorite College AKA the college you plan on going to, or it can be random if you don't have a specific one in mind

Y/F/S/S = Your Favorite School Subject

Y/C/M = Your College Major AKA a subject you plan on majoring in for college, or it can be random if you don't have a specific one in mind

It was now officially the end of Y/N's freshman year at college, as well as the first week of her first summer break from college. Y/N couldn't be happier to be back home with her friends, family, and especially her tech-savvy husband, that's right husband!! The day after Y/N had returned from college, the two of them decided to have a simple courthouse ceremony in the Hidden City in front of their friends and family. Now, the happy couple were enjoying their week-long honeymoon in a hut by the beach that was hidden away from the rest of the island. Y/N was currently leaning on the hut's railing staring at the sunset, her mind drifting to somewhere else.

Donnie, concerned over his wife's mental wellbeing, decided to gently confront her on this. He walked over to her, leaned on the railing next to her, and turned to face her with an obvious look of worry.

Donnie: "Honey, is everything ok? You're not unhappy, are you?"

At this, Y/N turned to him in shock.

Y/N: "No, of course not. I could never be unhappy when I'm with you, especially not on our honeymoon. I've just had a lot on my mind recently."

Donnie: "Really, like what?"

Y/N: "Like, how I'm really not looking forward to going back to college."

Donnie: "What, you? The girl who looked forward to every exam, and essay ever thrown at her in grade school, middle school, and high school? I don't believe it."

Y/N laughed at her husband's playful banter.

Y/N: "Education isn't the issue at hand. You know what? I'd rather not bring you down with my troubles. I'm probably just overthinking things."

Donnie turned towards her in disbelief.

Donnie: "Ok, 2 things: 1) That's one of the many reasons I love you, we both tend to overthink things. 2) We're married now, we're supposed to be completely honest with each other, whether it turns us into 'Debbie Downers' or not. So, how about I have you follow a piece of advice you gave me 2 years ago."

Y/N turned to her husband in curiosity.

Y/N: "Interesting proposition, and what piece of advice would that be?"

Donnie: "Well, as you once put it, 'Whenever you can't think of how to say something, sing it instead'. So, what do you say?"

Y/N: "Well, I guess it couldn't hurt to try."

Y/N turned back towards the sunset, Donnie following suite.

{A/N: Bold and underlined is wherever I've edited the lyrics}

Y/N:

I was alone a lot

Mostly researching things

Like Y/F/C/M and Y/F/S/S

And who cares?

Never had many friends

I'm always by myself

I mean, you can imagine how other students might see me

Donnie:

Uh-huh

Y/N:

More is always better

Less people know me than they do back home

More is always better

'Cause when you have less you have more to lose

Wait, is that confusing?

Donnie:

No, I get it but—

See, I don't mind alone

Sometimes alone is good

'Cause time to think is in short supply

Y/N:

You haven't been alone

Try college with one phone

No socialization

Just studying, classes, and boredom *chuckles*

You know what I rely on

You, and all our memories too *laughs*

But there's just so much stress

It's not always enough

Plus, when I try to act like them they just ignore me

Though in fairness, I probably wasn't very convincing

Whatever, I can handle it

Besides, that's how I lived before I met you guys

Donnie:

Wait, what?

Y/N:

Yeah, I wasn't the most socially active girl back before I met you guys

Plus, I never really saw the point in making friends

Donnie:

You don't regret meeting us do you?

Y/N:

Donnie, of course not

After all, thanks to you

I am more and I am better

And no one else could've done that

Not anyone, but you

Nothing could ever be better

Now that you know all that

What do you think of me?

Donnie:

I think you're the bravest girl I know

To endure that every day

You think I'd think less of you?

Well , you thought wrong

Trust me, if those kids had any brains

They'd be swarming at your dorm

Just to meet the incredibly amazing person you are

You say more is always better

Yet, fewer people are waiting for you there than those who are waiting at home

Yours truly included *winks*

So, if more is always better

Then you should think your future through a bit more

Y/N:

Maybe, I'll thinkitthrougha bit

You know what I need more of?

You

At that, Donnie pulled his wife into a kiss full of love, longing, and passion.

Y/N: "Just out of curiosity, that last part about reconsidering my future wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you missed me so much, would it?"

Donnie: "Does it really matter?"

Y/N: "No, in the spirit of honesty, I signed up for community college 2 days ago and took care of any loose ends back at Y/F/C."

Donnie: "Well, now that we've taken care of that debacle, may I suggest a night of cuddling in bed, ordering room service under my alias, and a relaxing Jupiter Jim movie marathon?"

Y/N: "With you, I'd binge watch anything. Even if it involved that hack Kristoff van Bradford."

They both rolled their eyes and chuckled at the mention of their father's celebrity rival.

So for the rest of the night, they did just as Donnie had suggested right down to the very last detail: the cuddles, the room service under his signature alias, and all 60 sequels of 'Jupiter Jim's Last Trip to the Moon". Throughout the night, Y/N couldn't be more grateful for everything that never would've happened if it weren't for the fateful night when she first met her ninja in purple armor. In fact, there was one thing of which they were fully aware of.

As long as they had each other, their lives would be more than enough for both of them.

[tmnthq17-blog]

When the Sun Sets, Will It Last?

Key:

Y/N/N = Your Nickname

Y/F/C/: Your Favorite College AKA the college you plan on going to, or it can be random if you don't have a specific one in mind

C/S: College State AKA the state your college is located

This was it. The night before Y/N left for Y/F/C and everyone was excited and happy for her, well all except for Donnie. He was happy for her to have been accepted into the college of her dreams, but also forlorn to see his girlfriend leave New York for the next 4 years. Nonetheless, he was currently in the lair's garage with her discussing everything she might need for college. Unfortunately, Donnie's need to be 100% precise was starting to get on Y/N's nerves, which wasn't great since she was also anxious about her farewell to her friends, family, and her boyfriend of 2 years. Little did she know, that night would greatly change both of their lives thanks to a decision that had taken Donnie, in his opinion, far too long to act upon.

Y/N: "Donnie, will you relax? I already went over this last night and every other night for the last 2 weeks. Is everything ok? You've been acting weird these last few days."

Donnie: "I know. The truth is, I wanted to spend as much time as I can with you before you leave."

Y/N: "Aw, Donnie, you could've just said so. You know I love spending time with you guys, you especially."

Donnie: "I know, but I usually have to disguise my need to spend time with others through things like missions, or presenting my inventions, etc."

Donnie had a nervous smile on his face as he was admitting to her things he thought he'd never say out loud to anyone but himself.

Y/N: "I know. Tell you what, to keep our minds out of the dumps, as Leo would say, and cheer ourselves up by doing something no one else has to know about for as long as we live?"

Donnie's smile brightened at her proposition. It was perfect for what he had in mind.

Donnie: *English accent* "Excellent idea, milady."

Y/N: *English accent* "Why, of course, good sir."

She took Donnie's hand as they both raced to the lab, shut the door behind them, and began the routine they had practiced hundreds of times before.

{A/N: Bold and underlined is wherever I've edited the lyrics}

Donnie:

When the sun goes down

You're gonna need a flashlight

You're gonna need a candle

Y/N:

I think I can handle that

Donnie:

When you leave town

I'm gonna buy you a calling card

Y/N (Both):

'Cause I'm falling hard (for you)

I head out first thing tomorrow

Donnie:

And I will try to make my way

Both:

Out West to C/S

Donnie:

So we've got this evening

Y/N:

And we've got each other

Perhaps even longer

Donnie:

When you're on your own

And suddenly without me

Will you forget about me?

Y/N:

I couldn't if I tried

Donnie:

When I'm all alone

And I close my eyes

Both:

That's when I'll see your face again

Donnie:

And when you're gone

You know that I'll be waiting whеn you're gone

Y/N:

But you're here with me right now

Donnie:

We'll be working hard, but if we should drift apart

Y/N:

Donnie—

Donnie:

Let me take this moment just to say—

Y/N:

No, no—

Donnie:

You are gonna change the world someday—

Y/N:

I'll be thinking of home

Both:

And I'll think of you every night

At the same time—

At that moment, Donnie got down on one knee, opened a black ring box, and began his proposal: "Y/N, we've been best friends for 10 years now and never once have I regretted stepping out of the shadows to meet you. However, I have wondered what my life would've been like without you, and I never want a life like that. So, without further ado Y/F/N, my gorgeous Aphrodite of a Nightingale, will you make me the happiest I've been in my life and marry me?"

"Of course I'll marry you, my tech genius!" 

Tears of joy escaped her eyes as Donnie rose to place the ring onto her finger, before pulling her into a lasting kiss full of love, longing, passion, and hope.

Donnie:

When the sun goes down

Y/N:

When the sun goes down

Donnie:

When the sun goes down

For the rest of the night, the happy couple spent time with their friends and family, talking and laughing into the night. Y/N couldn't help but imagine her new future with her fiancé as well as asking her self one thing: When the sun sets, will this last? As she glanced lovingly at her future husband, she answered her own question...

Yes it would, as long as it was Donnie she would spend the rest of her life with.

Prove It

Key:

Y/N/N = Your Nickname

It was another calm, crisp New York evening. No big missions, no threats to the safety of the city or the Mad Dogs' family and friends, things couldn't be any more peaceful. Well, that would be true if it weren't for the impromptu karaoke night Leo and Mikey had arranged.

Y/N: "Guys, don't get me wrong. April & I love all of you but answer me one thing. How and why did we get roped into this?"

Y/N was mainly directing that question towards her boyfriend of 8 months, the one and only Donatello.

Mikey: "Because Y/N/N, this is a family event and we see the two of you as family. Especially since one of you is dating our brother."

April: "Aw, come on Y/N, how can you say no to something like that? Especially with that face."

April had immediately fallen into the trap of Mikey's adorable good looks.

{A/N: Tell me I'm wrong}

Y/N shook her head with a playful eye roll.

Y/N: "Fine, but if anything embarrassing happens, it'll be on your heads, and you know how I am when it comes to revenge."

Her previous smile turned into a sly grin. Leo dons a nervous smile, anxious as to what revenge would entail with the smarts and cunning of both Y/N and Donnie's minds combined.

Leo: "Fair enough, so phase one of convincing Y/N to join us is complete. Now onto phase two, let the karaoke fun begin!"

So, for the next 10 minutes, most of the gang sang their hearts out, having fun, sharing laughs and playful sarcastic comments, the latter being from mostly Leo. Everything was going great and Y/N's previous nervousness had seemingly vanished, until it was her turn to sing.

Donnie: "If it helps, I can risk embarrassment with you in a duet."

Donnie had a nervous smile and a faint blush on his cheeks, which Y/N found both adorable and admirable.

Y/N: "Really, you'd do that for me?"

Donnie: "Of course, I'd do anything for you, as long as it doesn't involve bees, or spiders, or beach balls, especially beach balls."

Y/N gave a small laugh as her boyfriend's focus started to slowly drift away from the task at hand. Donnie shook his head as he realized what he was doing and turned back to Y/N as he extended his arm in a gentlemanly manner.

Donnie: "So, getting back on track, shall we risk the sanctity of our dignity and respect together, milady?"

Y/N laughed once again as she took his arm.

Y/N: "But of course, good sir."

They walked to the makeshift stage side by side as Y/N took a deep breath to calm her nerves, to which Donnie replied with putting a hand over hers. As the music began the others gave them a small round of applause as a sign of encouragement, to which they responded with grateful smiles.

Donnie:

I drew a broken heart

Right on your window pane

Waited for your reply

Here in the pouring rain

Just breathe against the glass

Leave me some kind of sign

I know the hurt won't pass, yeah

Just tell me it's not the end of the line

Just tell me it's not the end of the line

Y/N:

I never want to break your heart

And I won't let this plane go down

I never want to make you cry

I'll do what it takes to make this fly

Oh, you gotta hold on

Hold on to what you're feeling

That feeling is the best thing

The best thing, alright

I'm gonna place my bet on us

I know this love is heading

In the same direction

That's up

Both:

You drew a question mark

But you know what I want

I wanna turn the clock, yeah

Right back to where it was

Both:

So let's build a bridge, yeah

From your side to mine

I'll be the one to cross over

Just tell me it's not the end of the line

Just tell me it's not the end of the line

Y/N:

I never want to break your heart

And I won't let this plane go down

I never want to make you cry

I'll do what it takes to make this fly

Oh, you gotta hold on

Hold on to what you're feeling

That feeling is the best thing

The best thing, alright

I'm gonna place my bet on us

I know this love is heading

In the same direction

That's up

Donnie:

Girl, I know we could climb

Back to where we were then

Feel it here, in my heart

Put my heart in your hand

Both:

Well, I hope and I pray

That you do understand

If you did, all you have to say is

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Donnie:

I'm waiting for ya

Both:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I never want to break your heart

Y/N:

And I won't let this plane go down

Donnie:

Let this plane go down

Both:

I never want to make you cry

Donnie:

C'mon

Y/N:

I'll do what it takes to make this fly

Donnie:

Oh, you gotta hold on

Hold on to what you're feeling

That feeling is the best thing

The best thing, alright

Y/N:

I'm gonna place my bet on us

I know this love is heading in the same direction

That's up

As the music ended, in the heat of the moment, Donnie pulled Y/N into a kiss full of love, longing, and passion. The gang responded to this with more applause and cheers than they had expected to give their remarkably talented friends.
