Disclaimer: I do not own the guys except in my own little world.
Mikey's been having nightmares for the past three weeks and I'm beginning to think that they won't stop on their own. I've tried talking to him about his nightmares but he allways finds a way to avoid the subject and I don't want to push him. Donnie's suggested using pills to get Mikey to sleep soundly at night but Mikey refuses and doesn't sleep.
Tonight I'm going on a training run through the sewers since the Foot have been around searching for us topside. I think I just need to get out of the Lair and try to figure out what Mikey's nightmares have been about and how I can help him.
"How can I help Mikey?", the question has been running through my head because I hate seeing my baby brother like this. He's become paler well as pale as a sea green turtle can get without turning a different color.
Running through the sewers my mind always goes back to Mikey and wondering why his nightmares were so bad. His screams have gotten louder when ever he goes to sleep, and I stop running when something catches my attention. Laying at my feet is a small dreamcatcher that seemed to be in great condition though the frame had a couple twigs falling out. Gently I pick it up wanting to get a better look at it, wondering if this could help Mikey with his nightmares.
Holding the dreamcatcher, I continue on my run until I felt appropriate to return and could sneak my gift in. Unknown to my brothers, especially Raph, I've been making little metal charms to represent each of us. I didn't know what to do with the charms but now I know what I'm going to do with them. Smiling to myself, I enter the Lair holding the dreamcatcher in my hand; none of my little brothers are around so I head up to my room.
Sitting on my bed, I fixed the dreamcatcher's frame as best as I could and took out the four charms I had made. The on representing Mikey was a nunchuck painted orange, for Donnie a purple bo, Raph a red sai, and for myself a blue katana. Carefully placing them on strings then attaching them to the frame I smile to myself hoping that this would help my baby brother.
Leaving my room with the dreamcatcher, I quietly go to Mikey's room wondering if he's in there. Of course, he's not so I place the dreamcatcher on a nail above his bed and a note on his desk which has comics piled on it.
I walk out of the room, watching out for any death traps as I walk since Mike's room always seems like its been hit by a tornado. Heading to the dojo, I stop and see my baby brother laying on the couch, going over to to him I placed my hand on his shoulder. Mikey turned his head and looked at me with tired eyes. He whispers my name with his tired voice which used to be cheerful and always laughing.
Without a word I pick his tired little body up and carry him into his room placing him on his bed but he doesn't let go of me. So I lay down next to him, holding him in my arms as he falls asleep.
Laying there with him, I look up at the dreamcatcher and smile, Mikey was finally sleeping peacefully. As I drift to sleep beside Mikey I realize thatI had put the charms that represent Mikey and myself close together on one side. And that its not the object that was keeping my brother's nightmares away it was me.
I am Mikey's dreamcatcher.
