Twilight often stayed up late for various kind reasons; homework, researchers, doing experiments, taking care of sick Spike and many more.

This time was quite different as it was because of a moving figure across the rooftop near the building she was in.

It started quite simple; she went to New York City with her brother and parents as their Summer vacation location. After an exhausting day, they went back to their hotel and decided to rest. Feeling quite embarrassed to share the same room with their parents, Twilight and Shining Armor got themselves one room each and now it was past midnight when Twilight decided to go to sleep and spotted the sudden moving figure across the building she was in.

She had heard of rumours of ninja mutant in the city but she wouldn't believe it until she saw it with her own eyes. Right there, she did.

Her half working experiment that looked like a pendant, only bigger and in round shape, laid on her table with the blueprints and the room's key. Quickly wearing a jacket over her blue T-shirt and boots with her slack pant, Twilight grabbed the key's room and sneaked out, careful not to make too much noise that would woke her parents and her brother.

The teenager girl ran out of the hotel building, her eyes never left the moving figure. She started to run across the streets, her phone was in her grip, ready to take any pictures of the mysterious moving figure.

Twilight had never really been good in sport, not really. So even only running like that for a few minutes already made her soaked in sweats. The moving figure jumped on a building -- then disappeared. Huffing, Twilight paused on her track. She jogged closer to the building, saw the fire escape staircase and began to climb. Another quarter of hour was spent of her trying her best to get to the rooftop.

Curiousity killed the cat

But satisfaction brought it back

No one was there; only an air vent and pigeons on the rooftop. Twilight looked around tiredly, blood rushing through her vein as she panted heavily. She started to slowly look around, walking around the rooftop quietly, excitement flooded inside her. The pigeons looked at Twilight with confusion looks, tilting their heads slightly as they watched the girl turned on the flashlight of her phone.

Another minute spent and still nothing happened. Finally, thinking the  figure had gone away, Twilight sighed in disappointment and turned to leave. As she was bending down to get to the staircase, she slipped.

" Kyaa!" was all she uttered as she felt air rushing past her like a bullet, time seemed to stop and her body began to fall --

A pair of hands grabbed her waist, pulled her up, and Twilight turned around to find herself facing a twelve foot tall, armed with gadgets and gears, still had his hands around her, mutant turtle.

Voice stuck in her throat, Twilight stared at the turtle with wide eyes and an opened mouth, which let out a strangle choking kind of sound after a few seconds.

Maybe the turtle thought she was about to scream, so he clasped his hand over Twilight's mouth quickly.

" Please don't scream!"

Just seeing a mutant already surprised Twilight but when he started talking, Twilight couldn't find any reason not to shriek out of too much shockness. She let out a mumbling sound as her mouth was closed, her body squirmed of trying to escape the turtle's grip.

" Oh," the turtle noticed her discomfort and let her go, " sorry."

Taking in a huge air inside her lungs, Twilight looked back at the turtle who started to back away, their eye contact never broke.

" You're a turtle!" Twilight shrieked suddenly, which made the turtle jumped in surprise, " A mutant! You -- Oh my gosh --" she inhaled and exhale, feeling a mix of shock, nervous and excitement collided.

" Er..." The turtle stated, " are you okay, miss?"

" And you talk!" Twilight breathed, " I mean, wow, I've never -- this is so not ordinary!"

" Yeah, ordinary has never been in my life dictionary," the turtle backed away, " so, bye --"

" Wait!" Twilight extended out a hand, " I am -- sorry, I just get too excited a little just now, " she coughed, " let's start with; what's your name?"

The turtle paused, looking slightly confused, " I am Donatello." he adjusted his glasses slightly and Twilight did the same with hers.

" I am Twilight Sparkle, " she said, " Donatello, what are you?"

Too straightforward?

" Well, as you can see, I am a mutant turtle and you can call me Donnie."

" I see..." Twilight tilted her head slightly, observing Donnie closer.

Studying in an elite school like the Crystal Prep made her life entirely boring, with every students viewing each other as rivals and the teachers expecting the best of you, it was no wonder Twilight felt amazed by the mutant in front of her. She did feel strange of not feeling any fear for the turtle. Then again, never let your guard down, they'd say.

But Twilight couldn't help it; without thinking first, which was unlike her, she marched forwards, took Donnie's hand and examined it.

Donatello never expected to face so many surprises in one night.

First of all, he would never thought his punishment of fighting with Raphael would be patrolling on his own tonight. Second of all, he cursed himself for being careless enough to let a girl spotted him when he saw her chasing after him. Third of all, the girl's curiosity amazed him to the point her even forced himself to save her when she was about to fall. Fourth of all, she even touched him! Even April needed to get used to the turtles' skin after a few days of the Shredder's fall.

Donnie said nothing as he let the girl examined his hand more closely; a sparkle of curiosity, excitement and confusion glinted in her violet eyes ( was that a pun? Twilight Sparkle ) and if she said she wasn't scared, Donnie would believed her -- her body language didn't show any emotion of fear at all.

Twilight snapped out of her gaze, " Ah, s-sorry, " and she let go of Donnie's hand.

Odd, Donnie rubbed the hand Twilight just held softly, it feels like something warm and nice just left me...

" How did you... were you a human before?" Questions swirled inside Twilight and she decided to ask one by one.

Donnie opened his mouth to answer but then hesitated -- if Leonardo was here, he would scolded him for being careless and he would told Donnie to never let anybody else knew about their existence. He stared at Twilight for so long to the point the girl thought she just asked something wrong.

" S-Sorry," Donnie decided, " I can't tell you anything."

Frowning, Twilight asked, " Why not?"

" It's... hard to explain..I..." the turtle shook his head and turned, " well, miss, I am sorry again for everything but just forget about this, okay?"

He started to walk before stopped, thinking, what if the girl ignored his warning?

This is ridiculous, he sighed but turned again and towered over Twilight, trying to create a scary aura.

" Do not tell this to anyone, " he said, " if you do, I will find you, miss..."

Damn it, what was her name again?

" Er -- Twilight Sparkle," she gave him an awkward smile.

Cute

Wait, what?

" I-I w-will find you," Donnie stuttered, mentally cursing himself for creating not a scary aura but a hilarious one, " Twilight Sparkle."

Before he could embarrassed himself further, he turned and leaped from another building to another one. Donnie glanced back and saw the girl still standing there. As he continued to jump, he put a hand on half part of his face, feeling himself blushing.

I just embarrassed myself in front of a cute girl

Just great

He sighed

Twilight Sparkle

A name that would never be erased from his mind

Meanwhile, Twilight felt a tinge of nervous inside her; the warning from the turtle sounded hilarious and adorkable but he sounded like he tried to be serious. Yet Twilight found herself taking out her phone and made sure the signal of the tracker she just put on Donatello still worked and could be tracked.

She wouldn't tell this to anyone

But like heck would she forget about their meeting.

Donatello

Never will she forget that name either.
