April O’Neil didn’t have to open her eyes to know that it was 3:28 A.M. This had been going on for over a month or two now where she’d wake up from the same stupid dream at exactly 3:28 every night.

She’d usually wake up with the sheets tangled with her limbs, a pillow would be on the floor and she’d be sweating, even though it was beginning to become winter and the air was rather chilly.

It was the same dream every time. She’d see Donatello’s face in her mind and think about every moment he had looked at her with those intense red brown eyes and grinned at her with the gap in his teeth that made him that much more adorable. She’d dream about him saving her, all the times he was there for her when she needed not just him but SOMEONE to be there, and how he never let harm come her way.

April turned over on her side, snuggling her cheek into the pillow. She was a tough chick. A New Yorker. She lived and breathed the tough life style where she could handle herself. But Donnie made her feel so god damn vulnerable sometimes. Like now. Why was he haunting her dreams all of a sudden? Why every single night for the past few months? It was driving her crazy and to the point where she limited her time with the mutant when she hung out with him and his brothers.

The red head turned again so she could stare at the ceiling. When she stopped to really think about it, she guessed it wasn’t all that bad. The dreams, that is. Donnie was a great guy. Sure he was a mutant, but there were aspects about him that made him stand out from his brothers.

Like his eyes. They weren’t just brown. They had red in them. Red! She’s never met anyone with eyes like those before. They seemed to glisten whenever he had an idea or was pleased with something he did. And the gap in his teeth. Sure it could be considered ugly, but that’s the thing: it wasn’t. It looked good on him. It was charming. It was very Donatello like. And how strong his arms were whenever he hugged her and-

She was in love with him.

April sat up at her realization. The room was silent and she could only stare into the void of darkness. How did it take her this long to figure this out? It had been right there in front of her the whole time. She, April O’Neil, was head over heals in love with Donatello the teenage mutant ninja turtle.

The red head plopped back down, frowning. Great. She was in love. And with a mutant, no less. She cursed and thanked her dreams for finally waking her up and smelling the lovey dovey feelings in the morning. Literally.

She turned onto her side with a sigh. This was going to make things so much more complicated. April closed her eyes, begging for sleep to come. She felt bad for being moody over her new found emotions, but thinking of Donnie’s face and how kind and caring he is, April felt a smile stretch on her face as she drifted off to sleep. Maybe falling in love wasn’t as bad as she was making it.
Something from April's P.O.V. I'd imagine she'd be annoyed to have feelings for anyone. I hope this is realistic and still enjoyable. Let me know what you think!
