I will refer to the Dark Turtles like this: DLeo, DDon, DRaph, DMikey. Just to make it easier.

DDon knocked on his brother's door. "Hey, you in there?" he called. DRaph didn't answer. Sighing, DDon turned to go when the door opened slightly.

"What do you want?" asked DRaph, his voice was quiet.

"I would like your opinion on something."

"What?"

"A surprise I've been working on."

"Why don't you ask someone who's pretty," mumbled DRaph, going to shut the door. DDon put his arm between the door and its frame.

"Hold on a minute," he hissed. "What's wrong this time?"

"Nothing," said DRaph, looking away.

"I'm not stupid," DDon snapped, forcing the door open and pushing DRaph into a chair. "What is wrong?"

"I'm ugly," DRaph muttered. DDon pressed his knuckles into where the bridge of his nose would be if he had a human one.

"Brother, everyone's definition of 'ugly' is different. Who called you ugly this time?"

"One of those skinny little pipsqueaks," muttered DRaph.

"Raph, have you forgotten that most of those pipsqueaks seem to think that being abominably thin is beautiful? Hit them with a boulder and they'd snap like twigs. You on the other hand, are your own sort of pretty. And it's the sort of pretty that won't cost you your life if you're hit with something that wouldn't kill a turtle." DRaph look up.

"Why'd you call me-?"

"Don't interrupt me." DRaph obediently shut up. "It doesn't matter if others call you ugly, what matters is what YOU think. Beautiful people can think they're drop dead ugly if they allow other people's hateful comments to influence them. So I don't care if the turtles say it, if dung heap Darius says it, if one of our brothers say it... heck, even if I say it... YOU ARE NOT UGLY!" He finished saying this with his hands on either side of DRaph's head, and his face a mere hair width away from his brother's. "So if I ever hear you say that you are ugly again..." DDon smirked. "I will take you into my lab, and do something excruciatingly painful to you." DRaph stared.

"You... you really think I'm worth that sort of threat?"

"But of course. You are my brother after all." Smiling slightly, DDon wrapped an arm around DRaph and hugged him. "And even if our counterparts may not be the closest beings ever... that doesn't mean we can't be." DRaph hugged DDon back and started crying silently as DDon rubbed his shell and quietly hissed soothing words. Outside, DLeo and DMikey exchanged a look then nodded in unanimous agreement as they quietly left the lair. DDon and DRaph needed time to themselves. For sure.

Okay so that might have been out of character (not that we'd know, seeing as they cancelled season two of Fast Forward... *mutters darkly*), but I really hope it wasn't. I seriously wanted to do a cute brotherly fluff thingy with the Dark Turtles. Yeah I know that I like it when they are portrayed as absolute bad guys and are dark and all that, but I also like the other side of the coin, where they can be kind and caring individuals. :) Or at least, kind and caring to each other, in their own twisted ways. XD So yeah! Hope you enjoyed this story. ^_^
