This was originally going to kick off a drabble series but I thought it might be best to put it out there on it's own. Enjoy B-team fluff!

Dr. D and the Curse of the Mikey Mummy
Welp. Here I am again. 3rd time this week. It was just a minor skateboard wipeout. I mean seriously, how bad can a small case of tunnel burn really be? But nooooo just because I was one pipe too close to the sewage plant Donnie is having a meltdown over possible infections and things that could have crawled up into my body in the mere seconds I was down. He's elbows deep in the medicine cabinet pulling stuff out left and right, muttering under his breath about bacteria and what not. Sure, I get it. It's not exactly sanitary down here but I thought Donnie said our immune systems were superior to humans because of it. Oh well. Better safe than sorry I guess. What does Sensei say? "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" or whatever. Ugh makes my brain hurt when he passes on wisdom like that.
"OW! DUDE!" I jump a mile off the cot and give Donnie my best glare. I was so not prepared for that. "Look Mikey, it's gonna sting while I clean these out." Donnie's looking at me with the "duh" face he makes when one of us says something stupid. "Well yeah, but warn a turtle why don't you! Don't just sneak up on me with the stingy stuff while I'm thinking!" "Oh Sorry. What were you thinking about?" "Trying to remember what Sensei said about something." "Oh. Well you ready then?" "Yeah, D. Hit me with your best shot." He reapplies the stingy stuff (I never remember what it is, just that it stings) with a gauze pad and once the initial shock of it wears off it's just an annoying buzz in my skin.
Now that Donnie's done cleaning the scrapes and I'm all antibioticted up, he wraps my arm up, and I can't help but think that it looks like the mummy's arm in that one movie we watched. When he turns away to put everything away I try and do my best mummy impression. I jump off the cot straighten all my limbs and try to do my best impression of Raph grunting at Leo from across the room when Space Heroes is on. "Uggh. Ugghhh." Donnie looks over his shoulder, smiles and goes back to putting things away. Not good enough. " UGGHH. URRRGGGGH!" A small chuckle. Nope.
" CURSE OF THE MUMMY!" I yell as I jump up on Donnie's shell and hug him from behind. "Mwhahaha I've got you in my clutches! You shall be cursed FOREVA!" He's really laughing now and trying to shake me off but I'm doing my best to not slide off his shell. We're laughing too hard though and I let go and land on my bottom on the floor. Once the laughter passes he smiles at me and offers me a hand. "You make a terrifying mummy, Mikey" and rubs my head. "Thanks! I do my best." And give him a winning smile. He pulls out a drawer from his desk and tosses me a lollipop. Sweet! Strawberry! "Thanks for being a good patient." I hug him properly this time. "Thanks for being the best Dr. D."
