The masquerade was now a month away. You and April went to the mall to pick out formal outfits and masks to wear. You both went into the shops and browsed the outfits. April with big, sparkly eyes kept pointing out outfits that she thought would look great on you but you weren't as crazy about them. You tried on a few but they weren't speaking to you.

You both also went looking for masks to wear.

"I think you'll like this." April said showing said mask to you.

"That's perfect!" You smiled taking the mask and handing one too April.

"I think this one is best for you." You said.

"I love it!" April said happily. "Donnie is wearing his ninja mask right?" You asked.

"Yeah, it's perfect for him don't you think?" She replied. You smiled and nodded as you both paid for your masks and continued browsing shops for the perfect outfit.

"We aren't having much luck." You sighed walking beside April through the mall.

"If all else fails, we can order the outfits online." April said patting you on the shoulder.

"Donnie is ordering his outfit online right?" You asked. April nodded in reply. "He could have just gone as himself because people are going to wear costumes but I like how he is going to wear a formal outfit as well." You said after more window shopping you both have become discouraged.

"Want to go to the food court and call it a day?" April asked.

"Yeah, I could seriously go for - *Gasp*" You with wide eyes stared into a nearby display window, on the mannequin was the most amazing (Tux, Dress, Costume, etc.) you have ever laid your eyes on. You grabbed April's hand and pulled her into the shop.

"How does it look?" You asked with a huge smile on your face as you stepped out of the fitting room.

"OH (Y/N) you look so amazing!" April said with a smile and large eyes.

"I'm going to get it." You said when you re-entered the fitting room.

"Now I just need to find my dress." April sighed.

"We'll come back another day." You assured.

"But for now I'm starving." April said.

"Me too, I'll pay for this and we'll go." You stepped out of the fitting room with outfit in hand and paid for it, than you both headed to the food court for some well-deserved (type of food).

Later that night, you both visited the guys.

"Hey girls!" Donnie called out from the couch with his laptop on his lap. "How was shopping?" He asked.

"I found my outfit but April wasn't able to find hers." You said.

"Yeah, I'm probably going to have to order it online." April said. "Found your tux yet?" You asked.

"Yes I have, I have just ordered it; I'll get it, make any alterations and wear it." He said.

"In that case can I see your laptop to find a dress?" April asked.

"Sure thing." Donnie said handing it over to her as you walked to your room the hang up your outfit. You sighed happily, feeling excited about wearing it, you were also excited about seeing Donnie's and April's outfit.

About a week went by when April came into the lair with a beaming smile and two packages in hand.

"Our outfits are here!" She said excitingly. She handed over Donnie's package.

"Can I see them?" You asked.

"Yeah, I got to try it on anyway to see if it fits." April said as she walked into another room. Donnie opened his package and pulled out the tux.

"It needs some alterations before it can fit properly." He explained.

"Can't wait to see it on you." You said with a smile. Moments later April came back out wearing a gorgeous purple dress.

"It fits!" She squealed.

"Oh, April it's so beautiful!" You gawked.

"You look remarkable." Donnie said. As April twirled with her dress on, you had a feeling that you had seen that dress before somewhere, it was a heavy feeling. You think that you probably saw it in a magazine or online.

"Hey (Y/N), I still haven't seen your outfit yet." Donnie pointed out.

"I think I'll keep it a surprise." You said feeling lazy about putting on your outfit.

It was time to hit the hay as you finished brushing your teeth and slipping into your PJ's. April's dress still puzzled you about where you saw it and it was driving you crazy! You said goodnight to the guys and went into your room. You decided to take a glimpse at your outfit before sleep.

You could never get tired of how amazing it looked. As you looked at it, you thought about how amazing you are going to look and surprise everyone and hopefully Donnie the most. As you climbed into bed you daydreamed about how it could go. Hanging out with April and being with Donnie; eating, laughing, maybe slow dancing with Donnie, but Donnie was April's date so he was most likely going to slow dance with....

You gasped and sat straight up in bed. That dream, that dream you had was where you saw April's dress. April was dancing with Donnie, having the time of her life; you were in the background crying as April leaned in to kiss him, the dream ended there, but...

"That-that was just a dream, that can't happen in real life now, can it?" You thought aloud. Your thoughts jumbled as your anxiety slowly welled up. "No, it was just a stupid, lousy dream; but that's the exact dress she has, no she is crazy over Casey, but if she was she probably wouldn't have asked Donnie out. But it's okay because Donnie doesn't like her anymore, he told me when he was sick, but he was sick, he might have not known what he was saying..." You grabbed your pillow and pressed it onto your face in frustration. "Stupid dream! Stupid April! Stupid Donnie! I had to fall in love with Donnie, him of all things!" You yelled into your pillow and then threw it against the wall in anger. "It's so unfair! Why!?" You screamed into your blankets. "Why! Why! Why, why...why?" You said as you began to cry. You cried into your blankets for a while until you got up to go get the pillow you have thrown. You plopped into bed and pulled the covers over your head as you hugged the pillow as comfort as tears stained the pillow.

"I love you Donnie, I love you, I love you." You repeated softly until you fell asleep.
