~ Aprils Pov ~

After I told the guys all about another kraang lab that was found in New York. THey had dragged me to the rooftop looking to where the rest of the guys had gone. THe guys meaning Leo, Raph, And Mikey. They didn't want to test Medal Head out in the field just yet. They all thought that there was enough mistakes in the programming that there is LIke the time that he completely fell inside a trash can. Out of my little reflection of the past few hours. Grace was the real one that had found this place. She has crazy hacking skills. She was on the other side of MetalHead. I felt as if someone was watching me. I turned my head to look over at MetalHead. I know that Donnie has a huge crush on me. I just have no clue as to how to respond to that. I want to have him tell me that he likes me and not the other way around I am very timid in that area. Until than I have no clue as to how to act around him so I pretend that he doesn't have a crush on me. When I looked directly looked at him I saw that he was looking at the same place where I was just a moment before. The rooftop of the Kraang lab. With my senses on High alert I looked back at the rooftop. I heard the familiar soft whir of gears spinning and shifting inside something just to my right. I knew then that it was Donnie turning to look over at me. Over the speaker in MetalHead I heard Donnie's voice say " I bet that she doesn't know that I am watching her" Wow stalker much Donnie. I noted drily in my head. I heard him softly chuckle. " Hmm I wonder what her hair would smell like? What would it feel like.?" I heard Grace choke back a laugh. I decided to stop Donnie before he could muse out loud about something else about me. Out loud I said" You do know the microphone is on right Don?" In reply I heard him stutter out something that it must have scrambled up his words into new ones. I could hear Grace slightly laugh at him. If only he himself was here in the roof with me alone without Grace than it would really make my day. I heard a giant boom come from the lab. I knew without even looking at MetalHead to know that he would disobey Leos orders and go right in there. " That's my Donnie." Thought secretly inside my head. Wait why would he be mine? I am just an average human. He deserves way better than me. Why am I even thinking like this? I should be thinking about what is happening in there." Thinking about your boyfriend Donatello?" Grace sly asked me. "NO!" I reply a little too quick and sharp. INternally I winced. I knew that I had just revealed to her all the information that she wanted to know. "We are just friends" I said attempting to amend myself. "Ok." Grace slyly answered. I know that if I would look at her I would find her with a cheshire cat smile and excitement dancing in her blue eyes that I envied. IN an attempt to get her attention drawn to something else other than Donnie and I. HOld for just a moment I do like the sound if Don and I to be together. Only in my head though not in Grace's head though. Who knows what will happen then. Time for the ultimate distraction. " OH no I really wasn't thinking about Don. I was really thinking of how cute you and Leonardo would look together." I replied in an equally sly tone to match hers before. I stole a glance over at her to confirm my theory. THere was indeed a flush on her cheeks. Now it was my turn to have a smile on my face. We stayed like that listening to the sounds of battle for a few more minutes. Than Suddenly Donnie jumped on our roof and said a very quick hello not even pausing before he jumped over the gap between the buildings and broke through the buildings roof top window. That looked completely awesome! There are these moments that I really wish that I was a ninja. I started to feel a blush start to cover up my freckles. No! Not now! GRace will surely know everything that she has already guessed. Sometimes I wish that she wasn't so freaking smart and sensitive to people's emotions. I can definitely tell that Leo just adores her. I should set them up together all alone. With Mike's help though. Hmm how to do it.? Here they come now. I'll think later on how to do it.

~ Donnie's POV after the fight~

I came out of the kraang warehouse a little bit elated, a little bit heartbroken, and now relieved. WHen I saw April look over at me with relief clear in her eyes. It gave me hope of something more in the future. Of possibly us together. THat or she i s happy that her friends are alive after a fight. Sigh it is more probable that it is the friend ine than anything else. Why must the world me so cruel?

~ Leo's POV ~

I could tell that my brothers went to Grace for any advice that they don't want anyone else to hear. It didn't bother me too much. Now that is a complete lie if I ever told anyone. It annoyed me a lot! But I do understand that they feel pulled towards her kindness, understanding, compassion and generosity when they feel down. When she found me in the dumps at the lair the third day that she even ventured down there....

~Flashback~.

... She took one look at me when she walked in and walked over just past me with a kind look and went into the kitchen for a few minutes before returning with something white, cold, and in a bowl. At that time I had absolutely no idea what it was. She carefully put it in my hands and laid her head in my shoulder. I could feel the soft black curls so close #words me. I was just too sad to do anything about it. SHe had asked me in the most delicate voice that I had ever heard"Would you like to join me for a season marathon of Space heroes at my house once you are done with patrol?" Once I had heard that I nodded my head slightly no matter what the occasion I would always love to do that. especially with her. She noticed that I hadn't even touched my bowl of Ice Cream she encouraged" Hey Leo please try to eat your ice cream it really helps. She smiled a little bit just after I ate a small spoonful of ice cream, I gasped when it touched my tongue I thought that it would be way weird when I tried it but no it was really sweet and delicious. IN response to my laugh grace gave a little laugh . THis time when she spoke it was in a curious tone " IS this your first time trying icecream?" My sadness was replaced by amaxenemt. It was only than I confessed that I wanted to learn how to make a cake for my brothers birthday. Once I had finished off all of my ice cream (it didn't really take that long it was really good. I took what would be first of many cooking classes. When I was finally done with patrol I ran over towards Grace's apartment and knocked excitedly ion graces window. She opened it with a huge smile in her pretty face. We spared no time for pleasantries but instead we went on towards the show. INstead of watching Space Heroes as I should have I was watching Grace who was really watching it and not reading like I thought that she would. In all honestly I was watching the bravest person that I know start to fall asleep on my shoulder.

~present Time~

I saw her look over us worriedly looking for any serious injuries. Finding none she broke into the most dazzling smile that I had ever seen. When Sensei was talking about inner beauty I thought that it was so we could feel better about ourselves but now I really understand what he meant. Grace was the perfect example of it.I could see how beautiful she was inside and outside. I could just stare at her all day long in any form that she took. I just wish that I could tell her my real feelings, I suddenly realised that I was exactly like putty in her hands without her even trying to do anything at all. All of the tests were already passed. She is the perfect person that I have ever met. SHe is always kind, and open to suggestions that anyone has even if they aren't good ones. I know that i can always count on her to calm down and help my younger siblings. She has helped Donnie in his lab when an experiment blows up in his face. MIkey in reminding him that he is indeed good in video games. And Rapgh when he needs someone to spar with to safely release his anger. She has even beaten him a couple of times. Hard to believe but true. I watched once when they were sparing and Raph was using a series of moves that we had just learned that day. Still she managed to beat him fair and square. She has also managed to help Master Splinter when he needs someone mature to talk to. I could tell that \through all of that kindness there is a bit of spunk and attitude that occasionally shows through the wall of kindness. There has never been any words that can describe how perfect Grace is to anyone that she meets. The realisation dawned in me GRace would never ever love me the way that I do for her. Grace needs someone just as perfect as her to stand with. I should be putting all of my efforts to being a good leader to my brothers. In an attempt to impress her I need to train more and harder. Then I could possibly have enough courage to tell her my feelings. If by then there is a good man already in her life than I will only support the happiness that blooms from there. It is all about Grace being happy. Whether it be with me or another guy that can supply her with a normaler life.

~ Grace's POV (BEfore the guys come out of the lab)~

April knows exactly how to get me flustered. SHe has her thinking face on now. That can never be good with the talk that we just shared. I have a feeling that she is thinking about setting up Leo and I together. Two people can play at that game April. Here they come. Donnie is cradling MetalHead's head in his arms very delicately. I will help him later to fix that problem. Raph has just a few scratches those will heal very fast. Mikey is completely fine. HE is jumping around talking about what just happened in there. Ready to relay it in the most dramatic way possible than later it will be even more exaggerated than ever. Leo he is wistful about somethin. He now looks very determined. My turtle side of me started to flare up Calm down I told it. It shouldn't have to do anything with us. I wonder what he is really thinking of. Just be glad that I don't have to help Donnie with any serious injuries.
