Satisfied with my new Sai handling abilities I left Raphael alone to enjoy the music.

AC/DC I just knew he'd love them!

I walked back into to the living room and saw Michelangelo and Leonardo on the coach playing a very intense video game on Donatello's homemade Xbox.

There is nothing that turtle can't build, seriously.

Speaking of Donatello, where is he?

I looked around and he was sitting in the far corner of the room, on the floor with his back against the wall, way out of earshot of the loud car racing game, that was blasting from the television.

"Sweet victory!"

Mikey fist pumped as I walked by.

Leonardo just Face palmed

"Rematch?"

"Your on!"

The orange clad turtle jumped back into his seat.

They didn't even notice me.

Hey maybe I'm getting the hang of this ninja thing after all.

I laughed to myself.

Donatello looked all zoned out.

Some sort of sad auto tuned pop love song played out from Donatello's laptop, as I sat down next to him.

As soon as he noticed me he quickly shut the laptop.

"Love songs Donnie?"

I sarcastically smirked

Then I immediately felt bad, like would he think I was teasing him for being "hopelessly" in love with April.

Which is not what I was thinking at all.

He sighed sadly and looked down.

What I was thinking was that someone with an IQ that high would listen to something a little better then.

"Look Donatello I'm team Apritello and all, but if you're gonna do love songs, your gonna do some real actual powerful love songs, not that whiny auto tuned crap, so help me!

I practically yanked the junkyard special out of his hands.

He just stared at me, embarrassed.

With a half grin on my face I typed a song into the search bar.

Plopped the computer back into his lap and hit play.

The beautiful sound of soft trumpets began to play.

I had searched one of my favorite love songs for him.

Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You by Frankie Valley

He shot me an odd look.

It clearly stated "trumpets, really?"

"Just trust me on this"

I elbowed him.

(Your just to good to be true)

I smiled and thought back to that euphoria feeling of when I was in love.

(Can't take my eyes off of you)

The love struck turtle noticed my blissful expression.

(You'd be like heaven to touch)

He smiled, closing his eyes and resting his head against the wall, just falling into the music.

Now do I know my turtles or do I know my turtles.
