Author's note: SPOILERS for 'return of Savanti' (S04E20)
Donnie's POV
I didn't feel very well when we went to the museum, no. And although every cell in my body was yelling at me to stay at home and rest, I couldn't do it! This exhibition was a once in a lifetime chance! I took April (who was very excited!) and my brothers (who did nothing but complain all the time).
When we finally got there, I could barely contain myself. All I wanted to do was jump around and start screaming like a teenage girl who stood in front of her idol. But dinosaurs were kind of my idol.
As long as I can remember, I loved dinosaurs. Not comic books, not race cars. I just loved the fact that we originated from a species that still held so many secrets, even thousands of years after their extinction.
My brothers kept complaining about how boring it was, but I ignored them. I wasn't planning on letting them spoil my fun!
Then, all of a sudden Savanti shows up with a message from the past. After that, Renette shows up with the message that she'll graduate when/if she graduates. She's (sort of) our friend and she asked our help. She always gave me a headache, but still… We felt like we should help her. Mostly because we agreed that if we left it to Renette, all of us would be goners!
We made it to the past. But time travelling does give you a strange feeling. Just the realization that everything you do can permanently change everything in the future. Even the slightest change can create an alternate future and change everyone's life for ever. Including our own.
But I would lie if I would say that I wasn't excited about reaching the time when the dinosaurs lived. We packed everything up and got going.
Because of my cold, I couldn't stop sneezing. Sadly enough, that scared a herd of huge dinosaurs. I yelled at Renette to get us out of there, but the sceptre didn't work. Not that I was surprised, but hey: excuse me for being optimistic! So I just threw her over my shoulder and kept running. My condition wasn't what it had been before I got sick and I ran the slowest of the four of us, but I could still keep up with them.
Mikey and Raph started 'surfing' on their backs. It looked like they were having loads of fun, but I was a little busy trying to keep both me and Renette alive! When I finally decided to also jump onto one of them, I heard my brothers yelling my name. I saw them standing on a rock and motioning me to join them.
But believe me when I tell you that if you're not good in sports, you don't have a wonderful condition in the first place, you don't feel well AND you're carrying someone on your shoulder… jumping on a high rock isn't as easy as it sounds!
Thank god Leo and Raph were standing there to catch us! Otherwise, I would have been turtle goo!
I still tried to help her by offering to fix the time sceptre. Everyone knew there was nothing I could possibly do, but I was only trying to be nice. In the meanwhile, Mikey was making a new friend. That friend being a triceratops Mikey named Zog!
There is just nothing normal about our lives… I hated to, but I couldn't help to start nagging about Mikey feeding that animal. I was just getting cranky!
And to top everything of, we were attacked by vicious carnivores!
While I was keeping an eye on our attackers, I heard Raph talking to Renette: "Remind me, what did you say? Oh yeah! This is gonna be a breez!" Even Renette should have heard the sarcasm in his voice.
But I agreed with him. I couldn't think of a worse situation at the moment.
Why does life always have to prove we wrong?! Not even five minutes later both Renette and me were cornered by one of these fascinating, yet terrifying animals. I would have died right then and there… if my cold hadn't interrupted. I should have just ran away, I know that! But at that moment, I wanted to prove that I was strong and well trained enough to fight him and win. Sadly enough, he threw me off and I couldn't get back up in time.
I couldn't do anything else but silently thank Mikey for befriending Zog, who saved our lives.
I heard Raph and Leo talking about if we could have scared them off, but I was with Leo on this one.
"You think something horrible is coming now?", Raph asked with the slightest bit of fear in his voice.
Leo nodded with emotion at all on his face: "Yup".
Then, Savanti came out of the woods on top of a Tyrannosaurus and laughed in a way only true villains can.
I gulped and thought about all those things I still wanted to do in my life.
Mostly about what I should have done in my life, like telling my family how much I love them.
This next fight would determine if I still would get the chance or not.
And that on its own was all the motivation I needed to win this!
