It has now been a month since "the experiment" took place. April asked the turtles to take off their clothes in order to figure out why they wore clothes in the first place. It was awkward and uncomfortable at times, but she got a lot of good information out of the turtles. And out of fairness, she took off her clothes in front of them, which led to even more awkwardness. She didn't tell anyone about the experiment, because she knew it would be embarrassing for the brothers, especially Raph. "They've already had a hard life and I don't want to make it worse." April thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Raph was finished with his night training and he walked inside the bathroom to take a shower. He looked at the tub and thought about the memories he had as a child. He remembered Splinter giving him and his brothers bubble baths and how much fun they had playing with their bath toys. "I wish I could go back to those times. Back when there wasn't so much damn chaos in our lives." said Raph. An idea popped into Raph's head and he said, "Maybe I can relive those times. I just need to find some bubble bath soap somewhere." He looked inside some cabinets and by some miracle, he found a bottle of bubble bath soap. "How the hell did this get here?" asked Raph. He held the bottle and noticed a note on the back. He tore the note off the bottle and read it.

"Dear Raph, I know it's been a while since we've talked, but I remember you mentioned how you loved bubble baths as a kid. So, I bought some bubble bath soap for you. It smells like strawberries. Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about this, because I don't want to do any damage to your tough guy image. Hope you enjoy it. Love, April."

Raph smiled and said, "Thanks April." "Hey Raphie, what are you doing?" asked Mikey. Raph was startled by Mikey's voice and he hid the bottle from Mikey. "What are you doing here, Mikey?" asked Raph. "I just wanted to know what you were up to." said Mikey. "I'm about to take a shower." said Raph. "What's that in your hand?" asked Mikey. "Nothing." said Raph. "It doesn't look like nothing." said Mikey. "It's none of your business." said Raph. "Raphie, I'm your brother. You can tell me anything." said Mikey. "I don't need to tell you anything." said Raph. "Come on Raphie, it can't be that secretive." said Mikey. "If you don't get out of this bathroom right now, I'll tell Splinter about those porno mags you snuck in." said Raph. "You're such a jerk." Mikey said as he left the bathroom.

"Thank God he's gone." said Raph. Raph made sure to check if anyone was coming. As soon as he knew the coast was clear, he put a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door and closed it. He then removed all the clothing from his body, leaving him completely naked. He turned on the warm water, poured in the soap, and waited for the water to rise. Once the water was at a decent level, he stepped into the tub and laid down in the water. He didn't expect some of the water to be displaced when he got in. "Either I'm too big or this tub is too small." Raph said to himself.

After laying in the water for about a minute, he took a sponge and started to scrub his body. He scrubbed the major parts of his body such as his head, arms, plastron, shell, and legs. The last part he needed to scrub was his feet. Unlike Leo, Donnie, and Mikey, Raph didn't wear any shoes. He simply didn't see the point in wearing them. Raph knew Leo and Donnie were neat freaks and Mikey wanted to wear something that matched his style. He took one look at his feet and cringed at the sight of them. It was clear they needed some serious cleaning, as they haven't been washed in weeks. "Maybe I should start wearing shoes?" asked Raph. He immediately changed his mind and said, "Nah. I don't need them. I'll never need them." He grabbed the sponge and got to work.

It took a few minutes, but Raph finally cleaned his feet. They now looked somewhat decent. He wiggled his toes and said, "Who says a turtle can't take care of himself?" The warm water caused Raph to become tired and he ended up falling asleep.

Splinter walked around the lair and checked on his sons. He saw Leonardo, Donatello, and Michelangelo in their rooms, but he saw that Raphael's room was empty. "Where is Raphael?" asked Splinter. He looked everywhere and found nothing in return. "Where could he be? I hope he didn't go up to the surface again." said Splinter. Splinter noticed a light coming from the bathroom and decided to check it out.

"Raphael?" Splinter asked as he opened the door. He looked in the tub and what he saw immediately warmed his heart. He saw Raphael, the hot-tempered turtle, sleeping peacefully in the tub. He went over to Raphael and lightly stroked his head. "My son, I wish you and your brothers had an easier life, but I want to let you know that I am proud of you. Your anger may blind you, but you have the strength to control it. You care about your brothers and love them with a passion. You are willing to do anything to keep them safe from harm. And despite the world's rejection of you, you and your brothers have saved New York from the Foot Clan. Most importantly, I simply want to tell you that I love you with all my heart. Good night, Raphael." said Splinter as he left the bathroom.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter. I didn't expect it to get all fluffy and heartwarming, but here we are. The main character I'll be focusing on in this story is Raph, but I will spend some on Leo, Donnie, and Mikey. The main plot won't kick in until a few chapters. Other than that, I hope you all have a wonderful day. Bye for now.
