Just for the record, R2 is not mine. Her name (for those who are wondering) is short for Raph 2. Raph 2------R2 get it?

"Ah no. Where is it?" Raphael dug through his drawers franticly. "C'mon. This is so stupid! It was right here not two hours ago," He yelled. R2 sat on the couch listening to his panicked tone and snickered behind her book. Donatello tinkered with one of his many inventions. The crashing noises from Raph's home made it difficult to concentrate however. He glanced over at R2.
"What is he yelling about?" He asked slightly annoyed. She merely shrugged.
"Sounds like he lost something," She said not lifting her eyes from her book.
"If he keeps this up Master Splinter is going to be seriously ticked off," He said getting up from his work place. As he walked by R2 he stopped. "You sure you don't know? Don't you two think alike?"
"I've been reading not thinking. I haven't the foggiest clue what he looking for," Donnie climbed the stairs and peeked into Raph's room. Everything was a complete mess. Furniture was upside down, random junk scattered about, and Raph himself digging through a box.
"Hey Raph, I don't know what you happen to be looking for, but could you keep the noise down a bit? The people walking on the streets can probably hear you," Donnie requested calmly. Raph paid little, if no attention to his brother's comments and threw the box over his head. He lay on the ground and starred at the ceiling. "Raph?"
"I've turned this place upside down, inside out, and just torn it apart. Where is it?" Raph beat his fist on the floor. Donnie went over and knelt down by Raph's head.
"What are you looking for? Maybe I could help," He asked. Raph propped himself on his elbows.
"My notebook. It's black and I basically carved my initial in the cover with a red pen," He explained. "I really need to find it,"
"It's possible that it's still in here somewhere. I bet that if you clean this place up a bit you'll find it," Donnie suggested. Raph stood up and sighed.
"Nah. It ain't in here. I would've seen it. I don't put the stupid thing anywhere else. It was there this morning, and now it's not," He spoke with gesturation and started to walk out of the room. Donnie glanced around.
"You're just gonna leave your room like this?"
"I'll fix it later," They both walked down the stairs quietly before Donnie broke the short silence.
"What's in it?" Raph stiffened up a little and glanced down at the stairs.
"Stuff," He replied.
"What kind of 'stuff'?" Donnie asked suspiciously.
"Notebook stuff?" Raph looked over at R2, who was sitting silently reading on the couch, and narrowed his eyes. He walked in the direction of the kitchen as the elevator door opened. Leo, Mikey, and Master Splinter walked towards Donnie.
"Pizza delivery! Hope you guys are hungry. They had the cheese-filled crust this week," Mikey said with his never fading grin. Leo smiled at his younger brother's enthusiasm. Master Splinter retired to his room to meditate.
"Hey Don, how were things while we were gone?" Leo asked.
"Very loud. Raph torn apart his room looking for his notebook,"
"Raph has a notebook?" Mikey asked excitedly. "What's in it?"
"Stuff," Donnie replied. Mikey and Leo blinked. Raph returned from the kitchen with his hands behind his back and a serious expression on his face. His three brothers watched him walk over to the couch and take R2's book.
"Hey! I was reading that!" She exclaimed.
"Where is it? I know you took it, now tell me where it is," Raph demanded. R2 smirked.
"I have no clue what you're talking about," She said folding her arms over her chest.
"Yes you do! You're the only one who knows where I keep it, and it would be so you to take it! I know you, and I know you have it. Tell me where it is NOW!" He yelled.
"What are you so worried about? I can't even open it. What's in that notebook of yours that you don't want to show anyone?" R2 asked. Raph was cornered. His brother's were listening attentively, Master Splinter could probably hear everything, and there was no way he could get out of it.
"I don't like this game. Just…tell me where you hid it," Raph griped the object he took from the kitchen tightly behind his back.
"Tell me what's in it and I'll think about it," R2 said smiling evilly.
"No. If you don't tell me where it is…"
"You'll do what? Gag me with a spoon?" She asked sarcastically.
"How'd you guess?" Raph asked pulling a spoon from behind his back. R2's eye grew wide as Raph tackled her onto the ground. She yelped in surprise and tried to wiggle out from underneath him. Don, Mikey, and Leo all rushed to break the two of them up. Leo and Donnie grabbed Raph's arms and pulled him off R2, who jumped to her feet ready to fight.
"Let 'im go. I'm ready," She said putting up her guard. Leo and Donnie exchanged nervous looks. They reluctantly let Raph go. He immediately jumped for R2. She swung her body to the side and caught Raph in a headlock. He struggled, but to no avail. "C'mon Raphie. Tell what's in your notebook," She taunted. Raph moved his left arm in front of her, bent his left leg, and buckled her leg. After she lost her balance, he knocked her down with his arm. She fell to the floor with a thud.
"No," He said looking down at her. She jumped up and they began to wrestle. Leo and Donnie watched them roll around on the floor. They knew better than get in the middle of something like that.
"Master Splinter won't like this much," Donnie commented. Raph pulled back R2's leg as she jerked his bandana.
"Master Splinter won't like this at all," Leo watched the two of them wrestle. "I didn't know Raph's arm could bend that way," While his brothers 'supervised' the fight, Mikey was looking around for Raph's notebook around the living room. He was just as curious as R2. What would Raph have a notebook for? More importantly, what was in it? Mikey lifted up the couch cushions.
"Hello, what have we here?" He smiled as his picked up the black notebook. At least he thought it was a notebook. The black book was in a clear plastic case, which was sealed with safety pins and rubber-bands. He cocked his head as he tried to figure out how to open it. "Donnie. How would you open this thing?"
"What thing?" He asked not looking away from the match. R2 managed to slam Raph onto his stomach. She smiled triumphantly.
"This safety-pin and rubber band security lock," Both R2 and Raph snapped their heads around in Mikey's direction. R2 began to run over, but Raph grabbed her ankles. She fell to the ground flat on her face. Raph jumped off of her shell and over to Mikey. He snatched the case out of his hands and scowled at him. "Hehe. I found it for you Raph," Mikey said nervously.
"Yea," Raph held a firm grip on his notebook. R2 stood up and snorted in annoyance. Raphael side-stepped her on his way back to his room. "You stay back,"
"Hurry up and come down Raph. We have to go on our training run tonight," Leo reminded. Raph grunted and sighed.
"I'm comin'," He yelled back. He carefully chose a good hiding spot for his notebook and closed the door on his way out.
666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666
What could Raph be hiding in that notebook of his I wonder?
