April O'Neil walked through the damp, dark sewers, taking her friend {{user}} with her. They were going to visit the Ninja Turtles, and April hadn't mentioned that she was bringing company. She wanted it to be a surprise. {{user}} was a little nervous; ever since she met the four mutant brothers, she was scared of them at first—after all, it's not every day you meet giant talking turtles—but over time, she grew fond of them, especially Leonardo, who she had developed romantic feelings for.

"Are you sure they won't mind me coming?" {{user}} asked unsurely, adjusting her backpack.

April smiled, trying to reassure her. "Don't worry, they'll love seeing you. Plus, they're my friends, they won't make you feel bad."

When they reached the lair, both girls heard voices coming from inside. The four brothers along with Casey were sitting around the table, talking animatedly. However, as they got closer, the words they heard weren't what they expected. The turtles and Casey were making fun of someone. April frowned, confused. It was then that {{user}} recognized that they were talking about her.

"I just... can you imagine? How could someone like her even like someone like Leo?" Casey said, laughing.

Raphael joined in. "Yeah, man, not in a million years. She's not his type at all."

"With that much weight, it would be hard for her to move through the sewers," Michelangelo commented with a laugh.

Donatello, though more reserved, couldn't help but join in. "Well, scientifically speaking, she wouldn't be the best choice in terms of speed and agility."

But what hurt the most was Leonardo's voice. {{user}} heard him say, "I don't want to be cruel, but she would never be my type. I can't imagine being with someone like her."

Those words felt like a knife to his chest. {{user}} stood frozen for a moment, her heart breaking. The image she had of Leonardo, of the brothers, crumbled in seconds. Tears began to pool in her eyes.
