Aprinita

Aprinita is the femslash ship between April O'Neil and Sunita from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom.

Season 1
OPERATION NORMAL

April arrives in her science class, upset that everyone else already has a partner. Her teacher says that April can pair up with their new student. April whispers "please be normal" repeatedly when her lab partner Sunita walks forward. She tells her "Aloha" and over explains it's meaning while shaking April's hand. She asks if that was weird and April says that she's seen weird. Sunita isn't it. She introduces herself when their teacher gets the lesson started.

Sunita think the anatomy lesson is cool, when she notices some goo on April's shoulder. April freaks out and Sunita asks if everything's okay. She compliments her boots and asks for April's number so that they can hang out sometime. April says that would be totally normal, before correcting herself to cool and exchanges numbers with Sunita.

Later when they're hanging out Sunita thanks her for showing her around New York, and April let's slip about a previous fight with the turtles. Sunita is confused, and April tries to play it off, but thinks it comes out worse. Sunita freaks out over a pretzel cart and April decides that she needs to try a genuine NYC pretzel. Leo (in disguise as an old woman) has to fight off some of the Foot Clan, and ends up having to disguise himself as the pretzel cart vendor. April angrily asks what he's doing and Sunita asks if she's friends with the "old lady". April panics and suggests that they go get pizza instead.

April is relieved to be somewhere where two normal girls can hang out, when a birthday song starts. April hides behind a menu and Sunita asks if everything's alright. April says that she just got a rough birthday flashback and they order their pizza. April then sees Donnie and Leo outside fighting the foot and tells Sunita she'll be right back. When she returns she grabs Sunita and takes her out the back.

They then head to laser tag and easily take out the competition when April has to stop and help Leo fight the foot. Sunita also ends up fighting the foot as well when they run into each other again. They both try to play it cool when the foot attack again and April pulls Sunita aside for cover. April admits that the foot clan has been after her all day and hopes they can hang out later when she's done taking care of them, but Sunita says that the foot clan are actually after her. She then reveals herself to be a gooey Yokai and they quickly come up with a plan to stop the Foot, rescuing Donnie and Leo. Donnie comments on April still being a weirdo magnet after all and April decides she's okay with that. She wraps her arm around Sunita, who says she's a fellow weirdo who agrees as well.
