April for Casey or Donnie

[ninja-zero]

Which guy should April go for in this series?

Casey Jones or Donatello?

[Donatello19]

I guess every female character needs to have a boyfriend...?

[BabyTurtles]

I would pick "Leave her single"

.....but if that's only gonna keep that one-sided Donnie crush going.....

then I pick Casey Jones. :ohwell:

(in my ideal world, Donnie gets over his crush and April is single and a true sister to the turtles and Casey is just a friend)

[NinjaMan]

Casey. Not a fan of a human and mutant turtle being together.

[FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza]

You're asking is a 14 year old so go out with a 14-15 year old mutated TURTLE (aka NOT A HUMAN) or a street punk of about the same age?

EDIT: Furthermore, isn't their youth already complex enough without the "necessity" of throwing in relationship BS?
I guess every female character needs to have a boyfriend...?

Guess so...

[Technogeek29]

Going to go with leave her single, since a large majority of the fanbase just see April as an object to ship as of late.

[FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza]

Understatement in under stated

[drgon78]

Leave her single.

[Electric]

i chose donnie, simply because the show has already built it up so much, even though id prefer her single, and their "relationship" would never be shown as too much since he is a mutant and its a kids show. i do not want her with casey though. on other threads like this, people say that donnies crush is "ruining" or "holding back" aprils character development, so they want her with casey. However, i think that if shes with casey it would impact her even more, since theyre the two main humans, chances are shed rarely be seen without him, and one of her focuses would shift to her and caseys relationship, rather than the turtles.

for example, in 2k3, once they were together, you really only saw them together, and ended up not appearing as much. not saying it would be exactly like that, but still

[JTH]

It seemed to me in the finale that Donnie and April were already at the very least "together", they were latterly holding one another when the Technodrome went down and it was the closest they have been since the series started.

I wouldn't call it a relationship, but I think Donnie and April will be "together" to start season 2, but I think events that happen will cause them to drift apart towards the end and she'll become more of a neutral.

[Luckyday]

Sometimes but not always intentionally the crushes and dumb romantic sub plots can get in the way of good character development. Margaret from Regular show comes to mind.

[ObiWanFan4life]

Neither, I didn't like the romance subplot in Season one and I don't like that it's coming Back either. For the first half of the season it was funny, maybe even a tad bit charming. But by episode 24, it stopped being funny, now it's starting to get creepy. I don't want romance in a show like this, but I can only hope that once Casey enters the fray, we won't have to worry about that creepiness anymore, HOPE being the key word.

You're making sound like they've French kissed and made love on the dinner table. You think that them hugging 4 times is creepy? :lol:

If you think that's creepy, do yourself a favor and don't ever go out in the real word.

What happened to developing a character?
April really hasn't been developed at all as a character from the 2 DVDs I have seen so far. She's really "take her or leave her" right now. She's not doing much for the show other than be the staple "human friend" that's been constant throughout the franchise.

So honestly... this is getting to the point of "I really don't care what they do with her". If they develop this whole young love relationship **** further with either Casey or the bestiality love with Donatello... or even Irma, I dont f'in care.. and it interferes with the characters and story, I'm done with the Nick show.

Don't give up just yet. They haven't gone the Twilight route......yet.

[FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza]

I'm really getting burnt out coming on here to check and see whats going on and people are getting (cant think of a good word) on this whole overly romanticized world Nick seems to be building or what some of these fans want.

i see where youre coming from, but i dont think its halting her development too much. its only the first season, and we have multiple characters that will develop her coming next season. this season focused on getting to know the turtles and included some of their and aprils relationship. The thing i can understand people getting upset about is donnie hogging april. while this doesnt bother me, most scenes with april and the turtles are mostly april and donnie. but then again, she does get attention from mikey, and had that late night talk with leo.

[Donatello19]

Honestly, I don't want to see April with Casey. It's been done before, and they're really only paired up for the sake of doing so, since they're both the main human allies. I really never believed their relationship in 2K3. Now what I WOULD like to see them do with Casey is have him be an affect on the four brothers. Maybe Mikey could think Casey's so cool, and look up to him and view him as a big brother. This could cause Raph to be jealous, and it would not only be hilarious and heartwarming, but it would be GREAT development for Raph...showing that even though he acts like a jerk/bully to Mikey most of the time, he does really love him as a brother :tlove:

[Konchadunga]

I wouldn't be terribly bothered by her getting together with Casey in itself, but it would annoy me very much if their only reason for doing it was that he was human and Donatello isn't. What I really do not want to see from Casey is an angsty episode where she leaves Donatello and he mourns, but regrettably, there is a good chance they are going to do that, since this show is partially intended to be educational and play teens realistically, and they may feel teaching the lesson of loss is worth teaching.

Again, however, it's not a wholesome lesson when one teen has to suffer that lesson just because he's a turtle, and another doesn't have to suffer it at all just because he's a human. That very important factor gets in the way of teaching some realistic lessons; much as you would probably not teach your children to stay hidden from society, or prioritize their ability to fight over ability to, say, learn peaceful skills and get a job.

I want April and Donnie together just because it's new, it adds a new dimension to Donnie, and it doesn't actually reduce April to a token girlfriend if done right. In fact, I could see there being more April-focused episodes as a result; giving attention to how she sees things.

[RaphAndDonnie]

I'd prefer if she were single OR if she and Casey started dating but only if they did because they had something in common and the relationship built it's way up through a season or two. The Donnie and April stuff is funny but I'm not really a fan of it.

[Shark_Blade]

I can go with any direction tbh.

Maybe she should stay single like OT April.

Or stay with Casey like 2k3.

Or maybe Nick's version April will indeed end up with Donnie.

I'm fine with that.

That's awesome. Never considered that but something like that would be awesome. Rather than just him having an effect on raph, affecting all the turtles. I imagine they will do this, Donnie probably jealous, Mikey thinks he's cool, Leo maybe is unsure/doesn't trust him?

[Avatar Yuffie]

April belongs to herself. She is not "required" to be with anyone. If she falls in love with one of them, let her.

I miss OT April's singleton life, but I won't force that nick!April does that too. She's a different version.

Also, this is personal opinion for me, April/Casey was done before. It was just downright boring in 2k3, though I've heard IDW version does this ship better, with the fact the comics actually bothered making April and Casey characters.

[CyberCubed]

Surprised people are even debating this. She'll obviously eventually fall for Casey like she does in most other Turtle universes. It may not happen right away but it'll happen by the time the show ends

[Ravenxl7]

How about neither. Keep her single or make her a lesbian for all I care, but do not force a stereotypical relationship with Casey like past April's (how about we try something new), or force the stereotypical "girl finally goes for nerd" relationship with Donny (which would be weird, and I'm sure kids would be asking all kinds of awkward questions, just...don't go there). Doesn't help that I'm not at all a fan of this show's take on Casey. Unless he's incredibly better in the actual show, I'm hoping he's a one-season and gone character.

im sorry but really? he hasnt even been in an episode yet. all youve seen is his design and heard josh pecks voice for him. shouldnt you give the character atleast a chance to appear in the show before you judge the "take" on him? if you hate the design and didnt like the clip of his voice thats fine, but the character of casey hasnt been seen yet

andknowing how big a role casey has had in the past, hes going to be in this series for the long run

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Either stay single or be with Casey. Anyone who supports April and Donnie is just sick and has a weird mindset.

[Avatar Yuffie]

But give Donnie a humanoid looking alien girl because THAT is more acceptable, right? Man, you must be pissed with the Nick writers' mental sickness for adding that crush plot that started season 1.

Haters gonna hate.

*ships Don/April*

[Shark_Blade]

You know what, I ship April and Donnie too.

Let's go with a different direction, rather than the boring same ol' same ol'.

I'm sure Nick can surprise us.

[BubblyShell22]

For now, let her stay single, but if she has to be with anyone. I say let her go with Donnie to make things be different. She's been with Casey before, and I think it would be awesome if she stayed with Donnie this time. Then again, I want to wait and see more of Casey before I make a final judgment on whether he'd be a perfect match for April.

Also, April needs to decide for herself who she wants to be with as that's how love works. Forcing her to choose this or that isn't a great way to build a relationship. It takes time.

[ninja-zero]

Maybe she can find another guy instead. Instead of Casey & Donnie.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

April is never going to be with Donatello. It makes more sense for her to either be with Casey or just be single. I'd be okay with the latter as it's happened before in the OT.

[Coola Yagami]

I'd rather actually go with April and Donnie cause otherwise the crush thing looks like a waste of time. That should have been an episode or so running gag, not a whole season thing. It's also gonna look weird seeing Don 'get over it' and then watch those older season 1 eps where he was still fawning over her.

One thing they could do if have her just stay single with occassional jazz from Don and Casey. Then in the final season, whenever the series is finally gonna end, have the very last episode end with April telling Don she chose him. That way Don gets his happy ending, and the whole 'ewwww beastiality' crowd doesn't have to actually see April and Don do relationship things since the series is over.


I honestly don't see the beastiality arguement. I kinda see it from the characters point of view. They're only 4 turtles in a world of humans. If they're ever gonna get any, they have to either get super lucky there is a female mutant out there that will actually like them, or settle for a human. Any one that doesn't have desire for another just feels fake and cartoonish to me. Even Shredder, as one-dimensional as he is, is driven by revenge over the loss of a woman he loved.

[victory_angel]

I support the DonO'Neil pairing, but I understand the series enough to know Casey & April are pretty much cannon.

However in previous incarnations when Casey and April meet (not counting the OT series) it was pretty much inevitable that they would get together.

However in the other incarnations Casey didn't have much competition. Heck in the 2003 series it was implied that Donnie has a crush on April at the beginning of the series, but quietly drifts away from her in that regard once Casey comes into the picture.

Since Donnie and April and Casey are in the same age range this time around there is probably going to be a small rivalry.

As I have pointed out before, I get this feeling that the Donnie/April/Casey triangle will be a mirror of the Saki/Teng/Yoshi triangle. But hopefully Donnie will have the maturity to realize what direction he's steering that ship before Splinter has to confront him about it.


Do I think Donnie and April will ever be together. Well, the series still has time to surprise us and have April admit she does love Donnie. Or tell both Donnie and Casey that she loves them only as friends and nothing more. But if the pairing must end...I hope it has a good ending where the two could still be close friends rather then making the whole crush in the first season feel like a throw away plot line that goes no where.

[BabyTurtles]

I still have a major problem with April and Donnie......
my 3 problems are

1) 80% of her conversations were with Donnie the first season....and I thought it took away some of her chance to interact with the other turtles....
2) IMO April should be like a sister to ALL the turtles....be more like a tight family member so she can bond with them all equally.
3) Donnie and his Awkward moments with April were funny at first....but they got kinda annoying during the last part of season 1 for me....(maybe they wouldn't be so annoying if they weren't almost every time April hit the screen)

so I don't want April to be with Donnie.....also I just can't imagine April being Don's...girl......it just seems off for some reason.

Don: April baby do you wan't some pizza gyoza??
April: no thanx Don honey I already ate lunch! <3

I just can't......T^T

Like I said, save it for the last episode. I don't wanna see bf/gf stuff between April and Casey either. Hell, change it up, bring in Angel for Casey, or Casey and Karai. Karai is more of a tough bad-ass for Casey compared to goody-two-shoes April anyway.

TV shows and writers have way too limited minds to do that. Unless the female is the lead character and is known for being super-bad-ass and independance... they usually hook her up with someone.

It surprises me that 80's April somehow escaped this...but they still threw her into the 'dansel in distress' role instead.

If Donnie and April had just gotten together for no reason during the season, I would understand people's resent towards.

But they made a good cop-out in the story with Donnie saving her life several times as well as her dad that you could understand why it could happen.

but thats why I don't like it....it seems too forced to me

she could have been saved by any of the other turtles...or called the other turtles more often.....

but Nick seems to be making her Donnie exclusive and I hate that.

I want her to bond with the other turtles more....and until she does...I can't accept DonXApril.

[FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza]

Ya, because THAT'S why I tune into TMNT... the soap opera bull of a love triangle between children.
I think some of you have fetishes that you just want to see bleed into the show...

If this is true 2013 she should have had a kid now.
And some of you would LOVE that.

Which, unlike most damsels in distress, OT April actually would get herself out at times thus making the Turtles attempt void and usually calls for comedy.

[Gyt Kaliba]

And how did I know that, as usual, this was going to degrade to people who don't like the Donnie/April stuff to just blind accuse people who do like the pairing of being 'sick' or 'having weird fetishes'.

Yeah, cuz that's clearly the ONLY reason anyone could like the pairing. I'm sure it couldn't have anything to do with how cute the scenes between the two have been so far; or how charmingly played Donatello is in that regard (it IS Rob Paulsen after all though); or the fact that it would be nice to see the nerd get the girl for once rather than the 'bad boy'; or the fact that chalking it up to just 'eww he's a turtle-sized human, not a REAL being with feelings' (in-series I mean) is messed up thinking to others, including myself, just as much as you think their pairing is messed up for your own reasons.

I'm sure it can't be ANY of that, right? Cuz that'd just be silly.

[Candy Kappa]

who needs character development, what April needs is a MAN!

Or a turtle...

Or a girl...

Karai needs a man too, as well as Ms. Cambell and that blond background character.

Pretty much, hell I find the 87' cartoon where Irma (Young Adult human) having a crush on the teenage turtle (Donatello) to be WAY more disturbing than what they're doing now. Yet, nobody seems to bring up that as ever being a problem or disturbing or weird or wrong or...Should I keep going?

[BubblyShell22]

To be very fair, Irma had crushes on just about anything because she was desperate to find the right guy.

[TommyCogs]

Not sure be funny with a baby Donnie running around

[TommyCogs]

half turle half human lol

[victory_angel]

Considering that's the one thing that definitely will not happen. Donnie and April getting married and living a nice quite life in that Northampton cabin is more possible then them having a half mutant turtle/half human baby. They are too genetically incompatible for that.

T^T it's kinda sad when you think about it...

[Vicky82]

I would like to see April get with Donnie as it would be different and it be sort of similar to Goliath and Elisa from Gargoyles.

But I have a feeling it won't happen as April will end up with Casey and April and Donnie will be just best friends. Unless April gets mutated into a turtle then she will end up Donnie.

[Bossa Nova]

Eh, forget it. : /

[Gyt Kaliba]

Now nobody ever said that. :P Or at least, I didn't. I do feel that April needs a lot more development and better used in season 2 (I still can't believe we never actually saw her and Splinter meeting, it...just happens, completely off-screen, apparently). Showing her training more and not just randomly becoming skilled would be nice.

Pretty much, hell I find the 87' cartoon where Irma (Young Adult human) having a crush on the teenage turtle (Donatello) to be WAY more disturbing than what they're doing now. Yet, nobody seems to bring up that as ever being a problem or disturbing or weird or wrong or...Should I keep going?

Good point, though as was said, I think there it's because Irma was man-hungry and literally after everyone and everything. That and, it was pretty clear nothing was going to come of it in that show, so the people who are made squeamish by this kinda thing didn't have to get up in arms about it either. That's where the difference lies I think.

Considering that's the one thing that definitely will not happen. Donnie and April getting married and living a nice quite life in that Northampton cabin is more possible then them having a half mutant turtle/half human baby. They are too genetically incompatible for that.

Yeah...as much as I love the pairing, that would definitely be jumping the shark if they somehow had a kid. ^_^; Well, adopting, maybe, but biologically giving birth to Donnie's kid...yeah, it's just not happening.

APRIL DOESN'T NEED A BOYFRIEND! Geez...

[Luckyday]

It's funny. When you look at the poll result. Most people agree that April should stay single so maybe character development does matter.

We can only hope the writers know what the hell they're doing, and what they've started.

I don't think so or at least from I hear, Ciro said that April would feel a little different with having a human boy around the lair and we already see a sneak peak of Casey giving April a flirty eye.....OH GOD THEY'RE GOING TO PULL A "OPPOSITE ATTRACTS TROPE"!!!:x

[Avatar Yuffie]

I'd rather see how it develops. Sometimes commercials and clips are just misleading and pulls things out of context.

[Shark_Blade]

Indeed, maybe this Casey is immature/doesn't even think about love. They did say he has a mind of a 9 years old..

[BubblyShell22]

Exactly. We'll just have to see how it plays out.

[Ravenxl7]

andknowing how big a role casey has had in the past, hes going to be in this series for the long run
Let me be more specific then. From what we've seen of him thus far, I'm not at all a fan of this show's take on Casey Jones. The design isn't a big issue for me. Though considering we were told he would be eighteen, I'm confused as to why he looks like he's fourteen. The video we've seen of him was, imo, enough to get a decent idea as to how he'll be portrayed in the show itself. He comes off as a kid trying to act tough, rather than someone who's actually tough. The voice doesn't help. I'm definitely going to give the character a chance, but I'm not optimistic.
It's funny. When you look at the poll result. Most people agree that April should stay single so maybe character development does matter.
While I'm on the keep her single side of things, I don't think that a relationship would hinder her character development. If anything it would have great potential to increase said character development. I'm just tired of the predictable relationship with Casey, and not at all interested in seeing a relationship start up between her and Donny. Would just be...weird...

[FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza]

Indeed, maybe this Casey is immature/doesn't even think about love. They did say he has a mind of a 9 years old..
I got this feeling of the character just seeing the bit I have seen so far. He does seem like he'll be an immature brat/punk. I'm sure we wouldn't even see him show interest in April until the end of the series run anyway.

Someone's feelings got hurt :lol:

I didn't say there was a problem with the "nerd getting the girl". That's all fine and great.
And I dont care how charming Donnie comes off. Ya it's "cute" sometimes but it's getting too much in other areas. And I like the further development Donnie has received outside of JUST being smart.

Otherwise ya, sorry but I already stated why this is just creepy and weird. And I know there are people who like it for whatever reasons it appeals to them. Doesn't make it any more creepy or weird to hope for BF/GF relations between a young girl and a mutant Turtle. Forbidden love? Yup. That hasn't stopped people from trying to create or find incest stories and I'm sure that's not for the "cute" scenes or how charming any character is to their sibling...

No, my feelings weren't hurt - it just gets old when every time I come to this forum, it's pretty much always one wild accusation afer another targeted towards the Donnie/April fans. And I still believe you and others must be looking at it in a different way than some of us are, becuase I view Donnie as being much closer to a human being than he is a Turtle.

I mean...do you people look at Superman/Lois Lane's relationship and think gross because it's a human and a non-human? Or how about Star Trek, where Kirk hooks up with anything that spreads it's legs for him? Those are human/non-human relationships too, and I've never once heard someone groan about those nearly as much. Just saying.

[Klunk1234]

They seems so cute, together, but their relationship is impossible. She is human and he is a mutant turtle. But...surprise! I read on Wikipedia, that according to volume 4 of the original comics, April realizes she is not completely human, so she leaves Casey. I don't know if this point will be considered by the current show. It seems April is not fully human; she possibly a hybrid.

To be honest, I prefer at this point to see April single. I don't want to see Donnie suffering.

Casey vs Donnie would be a fine episode.

Casey: Face it! April's no good for you. You're just a mutant reptilian monster. A freak!
(Don shocked by the words receives echoing words from other humans)
Don: How... DARE YOU! I... am... not... A FREAK!

Casey and Donnie fight. Donnie's rage made him lose and Casey bashes him with a hockey stick. But April begs Casey to stop.

[Coola Yagami]

My main complaint about Casey's design are all the sharp nails and other sharp objects on his outfit. He's always been more or a blunt object guy, not a sharp stabby-stabby guy. Plus, it's a kids cartoon. Why give him pads with nails sticking out of them if he's never going to actually use them?

[Shark_Blade]

Shredder has sharp things on his body too, so I don't see much difference. :P

Plus I think he looks cooler with all those sharp thingys. And that ghost skull mask, perfect.

Because excusing the original comics, Casey is not that much of an asshole, and I know I wouldn't be the only one seriously pissed off if he was portrayed in such a way.

That would be cool. Hopefuly we do get a Casey/Donnie showdown...In the rain, becuase rain fights make everything better.

[ninja-zero]

That would be nice.

But it would be more cool that with Casey protecting April from the mutants and the turtles, the TMNTs will have to deal with the Foot, the mutants and Casey altogether.

The guys will think Casey brainwashed April with lies, but after April told Casey everything, he promises her that he'll make the turtles regret breaking her heart of losing her father all over again.

The turtles fight Casey as best they could, but playing mind games on them, Donnie could go on a rage for all the hurtful words he said to them about being freaks, but loses.

With Leo, Raph and Donnie down on the floor, bruised and battered, Casey would brutally bash Mikey first for his big-fat-mouth with a hockey stick and after that a golf club to knock his head off.

But April sees too much of this begs Casey to stop and that it was going too far and forgives the turtles for all the things she said.

April seeing Donnie on the floor asks him one simple question about his feelings for her. He truly says yes. She kisses him and he faints happily but still feels guilty inside.

[Shark_Blade]

That would be cool. Hopefuly we do get a Casey/Donnie showdown...In the rain, becuase rain fights make everything better.
Why not fight during winter weather?

Blood dripping on the snowy ground would look nice too. Imagine Kill Bill Vol 1 final boss fight.

Too morbid I guess. :P

[BabyTurtles]

I'm pretty sure Casey would never fight Donnie for those reasons......:(

Casey isn't that kind of dude.

Not really that needlessly dramatic. It would be cooler if Don pushes Casey to a river instead.

why is everyone being so mean to Casey???......

[Shark_Blade]

Psst, Don did push Casey down a river in the Mirage comic. :P

He was drunk (I think because he accidentally killed a kid if I remember correctly). I need to read it again.

So it would be a nice reference if they make a scene like that.

Shades of grey is in my top 10 of Mirage stories I love to read, yeah he was drunk but he had a point Donnie actually didn't like him.

oooooooh LOL

wait Casey killed a kid 0_O!??

by accident, but then again how many whacks with a Hockey stick to the head can you take? I'm honestly surprise it took til issue #48 to happen.

[victory_angel]

I can see April realizing how much Donnie really cares for her in the episode where Mutagen man appears. When she sees the Turtles fighting Mutagen man she of course is upset about seeing them.

However at one point Mutagen man attacks April and Casey is unable to save her. Donnie however pushes April out of the way of the blow and takes it himself, which stuns Timothy since he was trying to punish the girl who broke Donnie's heart.
The moment reminds April her father became a mutant because he was protecting her from the Mutagen. And that helps her find it in her heart to forgive the Turtles.

Uh... that was canon. Don did ditch Casey to a river out of anger/annoyance.

I just want to see a 2k12 version.

[BubblyShell22]

Wow. Sounds like an intense scene. I don't know if they'd go there in this show, but it would be a nice reference or maybe if they have Don imagine pushing Casey in a river as a dream or something.

[CowabungaMikey]

Leave her single. I HATE this version of Casey Jones. It's too different for me, I guess. And a mutated Turtle and a human? Not for me.

[JTH]

I can't help but laugh at this.

Half the forum wants April single, the other half wants April in a relationship; so half the forum will be ticked off either way.

Then if they go the relationship route, half want Donnie, half want Casey, ticking off half of that group of the forum, along with the half that want her single...

Oh boy, nothing good is gonna come out this with the forum...:lol:

YES. I would also enjoy seeing that. But instead of Casey being drunk just make him a bit of a jerk. We've seen psycho Casey(OT), Goofy Casey (2k3) Babysitter Casey (TMNT 3), Macho Badass Casey (TMNT 1990), and mature boring Casey (TMNT 07). He should be a cocky Jerk that befriends Raph and eventually gets owned by Donnie, multiple times.

[Bossa Nova]

How can you already decide that you hate this Casey or not, when we haven't even seen him yet? Unlike April, outside of being a vigilante, Casey's big character point has never been much about his job or family. He tends to act immature, and in this case his age is just matching his attitude. So really, aside from his looks, Nick hasn't really done a whole lot to 'taint' his image just yet. Personally, I love the way he looks, but if other people don't then that's fine. But to decide they HATE the way his entire character is being portrayed based on his looks alone? Wow.

[BubblyShell22]

I agree with Nova here. As the saying goes, "Don't judge a book by its cover. Turn a few pages to see what it really holds."

[Shark_Blade]

You remind me of well.. me, when I first saw Karai's teaser pic. I thought she looked off and instantly dismissed her character. But when I see her in motion, with the voice.. she couldn't be any more perfect. I wish for more screens time for her nowadays.

Maybe it's the same case with Casey for you? Just watch his debut and you might change your mind. Irregardless, I love everything about this Casey so far. He has a boyish dorky face, but when he's in gear - damn he looks intimidating. :cool:

[Leofan26]

I pick Casey I guess, I'm just used to them being a couple now :/

[Coola Yagami]

Just have April die a virgin. The end.

[snake]

Just have April die a virgin. The end.

Woah woah woah. Where did THAT come from? We're arguing about who belongs with who.

[Shark_Blade]

You are invited to a glorious wedding ceremony:

April and Donnie
