~*Disclaimer: I do not own the turtles......... Sadly T_T*~

Mikey peers into a disgusting and dark sewer pipe.

"Hello?............ Any freaky monster dude living here?" He whispers into it holding his flashlight to see, but the darkness of the pipe seemed to go on forever.

Raph turns around to his little brother and turns forward again.

"Mikey! There aren't any monsters down here so just keep looking!" He said impatiently.

"*sigh* Whatever you sa-" Mikey's words get cut off all of a sudden.

"!?" Raph turns his head to where Mikey had been.

"Mikey?" Raph points the flashlight in all directions.

Raph got nervous and calls again, but no answer.

This time he ran down the dark sewer tunnels, calling louder each time. Splashing through the muddy-pink tainted water he got even more nervous.

"Mikey?......... Mikey!?............ MIKEY!!!!!" Raph's voice echoed down the tunnels. He stops to catch his breath, head down and hand on knees and panting.

Where are you? He thought.

Found and Lost

At the Lair.........

Splinter is sitting with his legs crossed.

"Now, focus my son. Remember the tip I gave you."

Leo nods and jumps at Splinter.

"Hyah!"

He tries to kick Master Splinter and misses, kicks and misses again. He pulls out his katanas and tries to strike.

BAM! Leo falls onto the hard floor and sees Master Splinter twirling his walking stick. Splinter walks over and taps the end on the ground.

"You are not focusing enough Leonardo. What is troubling you?" He asked concerned and helps him up.

"*sigh* It's just that Raph and Mikey has been gone for so long. They should have been back by now!"

Leo sounded a little disappointed about messing up his ninjutsu move.

Splinter smiles.

"I am sure they are fine. They must have forgotten the time from gathering useful items."

Don puts down his screw driver. "OR Mikey could be bothering Raph about having monsters in the sewers."

Leo raises an eye ridge and smiles.

"Other than Quarry, Stone-biter, Razor-fist, the other friends, and Leather- head? I don't think there could be anyMORE monsters than that." He says in a teasing tone.

"Well, he's been reading more monster comics lately." Don shrugs and goes back to work on one of his inventions.

Leo is about to speak when the lair entrance opens, and Raph comes in and stops to catch his breath again.

"Leo!......... Don!......... Master Splinter!......" He panted.

"Hey, why'r you in such a rush?" Leo smiled.

"Did Mikey's monster comic stories scare you?" Don teased a little.

"Mikey's gone!" Raph shot back.

"What!?" The other three widened their eyes in shock.
