[Video] [Memory Leak]

[brain_behind_purple]

[On everyone's D-Terminal or even anyone that had something with a screen on it, a video will appear. And on it may be strange to some, but maybe isn't all too terribly abnormal for others. There are two turtles on the screen, one with a red mask and a lightning-bolt scar on his plastron, wielding a pair of sai and looking to be in a good mood. The other was tall, lanky, and had a purple mask that may be familiar to anyone who knew a certain human boy with a certain colored mask on. He had a bo staff, and was looking pretty determined. The taller one's attention turned to something else briefly, which made him seem flustered, but he regained his composure.

Then they clashed and during it,t he taller turtle hit the shorter one in the knees and knocked him down. He seemed ti be happily surprised, turning to someone and asking if they saw that. But the other turtle gets up and grabs him with his sai, catching him. People will see the red-banded turtle proceed to use the taller one as a kind of puppet. The feed then cuts as someone off-screen tells the turtles to stop and the taller one gets tossed aside.]

I dunno...He seems kinda tough to me...

[brain_behind_purple]

Well Donnie's a wimp, anyone human-sized could probably beat him.

Hey!

So jsut because this Raph guy looks tough in one memory doesn't mean that he really is.

[Under breath]If Raph ever comes here, then you are so dead.

[strengthinkindness]

W-well...Donnie's pretty tough too...

[At least she thinks so.]

S-so...if Raph can...beat him...he must be pretty strong, huh?

[brain_behind_purple]

R-really? Thanks Fluttershy...

[Especially since he's not all that tough. Even Mikey can beat him. But he'd accept the compliment.]

Yeah, Raph is the physically strongest. He's beaten all three of us in a sparring match before, and when he loses we never hear the end of it. But Leo can still beat him when eh really ants to, and none of us stand a chance against Sensei.

[strengthinkindness]

W-wow...it sounds like everyone in your family is really strong...

[brain_behind_purple]

Yeah, we're all pretty good ninjas. I mean I'm the weakest, but I'm still above average. My brothers and me were taught by the best ninja master to live, so it's no surprise really.

[strengthinkindness]

Oh, I see...That sounds really difficult, though.

[brain_behind_purple]

It certainly wasn't a walk in the park. We've been doing this since we could walk though, that doesn't make it any easier but we're WAY better now than back when we started.

[He didn't even want to remember how bad he was during the first couple of years.]

[strengthinkindness]

I bet all of you worked really hard, huh?

[brain_behind_purple]

Yeah, we all wanted to please Master Splinter, especially Leo. He trained harder than anyone. But we all did the best that we could, and it all paid off.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods.] I'd say it did. From what I've seen, you're a very good fighter.

[Not that she knows much about ninjitsu anyway, but still.]

So the fact that you lose to your brothers...who have also been trained like that...shouldn't really matter right? After all, you were all trained by a great teacher. And the important thing is...not that you beat them...but that you do your best, right?

[brain_behind_purple]

[Sighs] I supposed, it's jsut that... int hat particular moment where I did lose, eh did it in front of the girl I liked.

When did Marley go to your world? [Another smack from the pillow] O! Oh, you meant that April girl.

Yeah, normally if I lost I wouldn't care that much, But being humiliate dlike that in front of April. And after that, Raph told em that I... din't have a chance with her. It just... really hurt. I'm over it now, but...

[Oh sure Raph made up for it later (kinda) and Donnie had long forgiving him, but that didn't mean that his words still disn't hurt.]

[strengthinkindness]

Oh...I'm sure she didn't think any less of you, though.

[brain_behind_purple]

Well no. I ugh... kinda went out on my own and saved her dad not long after, so I did get a hug from her. But... [Sighs again] Raph was right, I don;t have a chance with her. Besides I... I don't know if I...

If you still like her over Marley, right?

Yeah... it just hurts knowing that... that I really like April, but... she'll probably never like me. And I like Marley, but... I know that she doesn't like me. She has a boyfriend and all, so... it's just hopeless.

[Meanwhile, Kamemon facepalms.]

[strengthinkindness]

W-well...that just...happens sometimes. We can't help who we like...or don't like. But even if the people we like don't like us back...even if it hurts, it's still nice...being with them as much as we can. Right?

[brain_behind_purple]

I-I guess your right. I was at least able to make April happy by keeping ym promise to her, and I knwo that Marley is happy. So... I guess it's okay.

Okay, that's it! Donnie, when we go to Marley's party, your telling her!

Wh-what?!

Look, you gotta get it off your chest. Just tell her, she's an understanding person. When are you ever going to get this kind of chance again?

B-but... I-I...

Come on mad, for your own good. Just do it.

[strengthinkindness]

There's...nothing wrong with telling her. Even if she doesn't like you back...she does deserve to know how you feel about her.

B-Besides...knowing that someone cares about her...might make her happy too.

[brain_behind_purple]

[Donnie looked at the ground, silent as he thought. He knew that Fluttershy and (for once) Kamemon were right. Marley did deserve to know and letting it out probably would finally put him at ease. But he knew that she'd turn him down. She had someone that she loved, he couldn't come between that.

But how much longer could he keep it in? He knew not long.]

Well... [Looks back up, and finally a small smile forms on his face.] Alright, when I go to Marley's party I'll tell her. Somehow I'm going to tell her.

Finally!

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiled.]

It'll be okay. Even if she doesn't like you back...Letting her know, and hearing her confirm it, might help you work your feelings out...instead of wondering if it could ever work.

[Although she knew it could...she hadn't seen too much of the two of them, but she's heard things...]

[brain_behind_purple]

Yeah, I... I guess your right. I know that I'm tired of hiding it, so I guess it's better to do it sooner than later.

Thanks FLuttershy... you really helped me big time... again.

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiled.] I'm glad I could help.
