Playing on the Donatello's well-established crush on April (both in the comic and current cartoon), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures #14 finds the smartest Turtle get into trouble in an attempt to create a pheromone spray to cause April to return his feelings. Things go wrong pretty quickly for Donatello as the spray doesn't effect April but does cause the various bugs in the sewers and New York streets to seek out the Turtle leaving his brothers to clean up the mess.
The issue's back-up story centers Michelangelo's short attention span which gets him kidnapped by Baxter Stockman and imprisoned in the mad scientist's latest robot creation sent after Raphael, Leonardo, and Donatello. Mikey uses his brains (sort of) to save the day leaving his brothers both impressed and exasperated (as usual).
The pair of goofy stories both center around well-established character traits and fit well into the comic's existing catalog. Worth a look.
