Eclips snuck into Donnie's lab. She giggled as she reached up to grab a jar of cockroaches from the top shelf. She frowned as she was too short to reach even on her tiptoes. With a sigh she looked around for something to stand on. Finally settling for Donnie's chair, Eclips rolled it over to the shelf and stood on it.
Donnie ummed as he walked towards his lab. Eclips paused and listened panic filled her mind. She grabbed the jar and was about to jump off the chair but as she did the wheels pushed the chair forward and sent Eclips back into the self. "AHH!" Eclips screamed as the shelf fell on her. Multiple test tubes fell and smashed against her shell, spilling liquids and chemicals over her.
"Eclips!?" Donnie ran into the lab and looked at the mess. "No." He frowned and picked up the shelf, he looked back at the ground and his heart sunk. "Shell." Donnie reached down and touched the baby turtles head. The baby turtle cried softly as the glass from the test tubes cut its thin, soft skin. Donnie grabbed a towel and used it to pick up the tot, being careful not to get any chemicals on him.
"Donnie, what was that smashing noise?" Leo asked walking in. Donnie held the turtle close.
"Um." He looked away from Leo. "I don't know what happened but I heard a scream and came in to find my shelf knocked over. So I picked it up and…
"And what?" Leo asked. Donnie frowned and held out the turtle baby to Leo.
"It's Eclips." He said quickly. "I have to wash the chemicals off her and lean her cuts before we do anything." Before Leo got a word in Donnie had ran out the door and to the bathroom. He locked the door behind him. He put Eclips aside as he ran a bath. He looked at Eclips as she begun to crawl out of the towel. "No." He gentle pushed her back in. "Not until you're clean." He turned back to the bath and checked the water.
"Blarr!" Eclips threw her hands up. Donnie laughed at his sister's actions.
"Ok it's ready." Donnie turned off the tap. "Come here." He picked Eclips up and placed her in the water. Eclips giggled and splashed the water. "No, no." Donnie put his hands over hers making Eclips's look up to him wide-eyed. Donnie couldn't help but smile, he's baby sister was now his 'baby' baby sister and he just wanted to hug her. Donnie began to scrub Eclips, making sure all of the chemicals were off his sister before he picked her up and wrapped her in a towel. He dried her off as he walked to the door. He unlocked it and froze as he was met by all three of his brothers. Donnie held Eclips close to his chest, preventing the others from seeing her. "Go away." He said.
"Aw come on Donnie, let us see own baby sis." Mikey whined as he reached out but Donnie slapped his hand away.
"No guys, I need to fix this." Donnie said. "This could be permanent if I don't figure out what happened." Donnie explained as he pushed through and headed for the lab. He was half way until he realised Eclips was no longer in his arms. He sprung around and frowned at Raph who held Eclips. "Raph weren't you listening to me!" Donnie snapped.
"Ahh!" Eclips grabbed Raph's mask and pulled it down slightly.
"Chill bro, she's ok." Raph laughed and fixed his mask.
"No really this is dangerous. Do you really want Eclips to be a baby?" Donnie asked.
Raph sighed. "Fine take her." He handed Eclips back to Donnie. "Just make sure she's ok."
Donnie smiled and continued his way to the lab. He shut the door and got to work.
"AHHH!" Donnie cried out making the others rush into the lab. Eclips had hold of Donnie's Mask and Donnie was lying on the floor. Eclips giggled happily as she played with her brother's mask.
"You ok Donnie?" Leo asked as he helped Donnie up.
"Yeah." Donnie said. "Can you hold her." Donnie asked.
"Sure." Leo smiled and picked up Eclips, he sat down with her on his lap.
Donnie looked at Mikey. "Ok so I have to take a blood test which means a needle- Mikey ran out of the lab. "Ok well that worked." Donnie picked up a needle.
"Isn't she a little young for a needle?" Raph asked as he sat beside Leo and tried to get the purple mask off his baby sister.
"No she'll be fine, but she'll just cry for a bit." Donnie said as he rubbed a cotton ball on Eclips's arm. Leo held Eclips tightly as Donnie grabbed the needle and brought it close to Eclips's arm.
"Are you sure?" Leo asked.
"Its fine." Donnie said as he pressed the needle into Eclips. Eclips screamed and cried as Donnie pulled out the needle.
Eclips continued to cry. "Shh its ok." Leo rubbed Eclips's shell.
"She'll calm down soon." Donnie said as he began to scan the test. "Here." He threw Raph a pack of band aids. "You can take her out now, she may become scared of the lab." Donnie said.
Raph nodded and walked out of the lab. Leo followed with Eclips. "Shh." Leo rocked Eclips in his arms.
Raph ginned at Leo. "We should tell Splinter. We may need some stuff for her." Leo nodded and sat down with Eclips as Raph walked into the Dojo. A few minutes later Raph can out with Splinter. Splinter sighed and stood in front of Leo staring down at them. Leo held Eclips out to him.
"Donnie gave her a needle, she won't stop crying." Leo explained as Splinter took Eclips and sat down.
"Understandable. The pain will pass soon." Splinter said. "Tell me does Donatello have any idea on how long Eclips will be this way?" Leo shook his head in response. "Ok. I have some stuff we can use for her but we will need so other things."
"I'll call April." Raph smiled pulling out his T-phone.
Eclips stopped crying and looked up at Splinter. She climbed up his chest and grabbed one of Splinters ears. "No, no." Splinter grabbed her hand and lowered it. Eclips looked at Splinter's hand then to Mikey who had just sat down. She reached out her hands and whimpered. Splinter smiled and pulled Eclips back. "Eclips can you say Mikey?" Splinter asked. Eclips looked at Splinter oddly but continued to whimper for Mikey.
"Yeah Sis, say Mikey." Mikey smiled as he held out his hands.
"Mmkey." Eclips said. Mikey and Leo laughed.
"Well it was close for her first try." Leo said.
"Try again." Splinter kissed Eclips's cheek. "Say Mikey."
"Mkey!" Eclips said.
"M I key." Leo said slowly.
"Mikey." Eclips said. Splinter smiled and gave Eclips to Mikey.
"Yeah you did it!" Mikey hugged Eclips.
"Mikey! Mikey!" Eclips shouted and grabbed his mask.
"Haha no Eclips let go." Leo helped Mikey get Eclips to let his mask go. "What about me Eclips?" Leo sat on the ground beside Mikey. "Leo."
"Eo." Eclips said. Leo laughed and shook his head.
"Leo." He repeated.
"Eo! Eo!" Eclips jumped out of Mikey's arms and to Leo.
Leo sighed as he held Eclips's in his arms. "Guess my name's going to be Eo for a while." He frowned.
"EO!" Eclips giggled.
"Yes Eo." Leo laughed with her.
"Guys." Donnie walked into the living room. "So I have bad news and good news."
"What's the good news?" Raph asked walking over.
"I can cure Eclips." Donnie said.
"Ok so what's the ba- Donnie?" The guys looked at where the young genius was standing but now was on the ground , crawling around.
"Donnie no!" Leo handed Eclips to Raph and picked up Donnie.
"Dude Donnie's a baby too now! Its spreading!" Mikey said.
"No Mikey." Leo picked up Donnie's mask which had blueish goo dripping from it. "He must have gotten some stuff on him." Leo frowned.
Splinter got up and took Donatello from Leo. "Now what? None of us are smart, who's going to cure them?" Raph asked.
Splinter smiled. "You boys will have to figure that out for yourself."
"WHAT?!" All there responded.
"Sensei we can't." Leo said. "None of us are as smart as Donnie."
"Well this will be a good lesion for you then." Splinter said.
"So your making this a lesion?! You're not even worried about the fact Donnie and Eclips are Babies!?" Raph snapped.
"This will teach you to be more responsible." Splinter said as he walked to the Dojo.
"Wait we have to look after them? Alone?" Mikey asked. Splinter just shut the door behind him.
"I take that as a… yes." Leo sighed and looked down at Donnie who was eating his mask tails. "We are in so much trouble."
My arms better! :)
