Once Leo, Raph and Mikey waked out of Donnie's room Mikey stopped his older brothers.

"You think Donnie's gonna be ok?" he asked

"I'm sure he will be fine Mike. Maybe tomorrow we can talk to him and ask him what the nightmare was about" Leo said putting a hand on his younger brother's shoulder.

"But I'm not sure if this can go on any longer, or it might just destroy him from the inside out. We have to figure it out and fast."

"Alright so how do we do this? I say lock him in a room with us blocking the door and make him tell us" Raph suggested

"We don't want to scare him or make him mad so I would advise against it" Leo said turning to Raph

"Well what would you suggest o' fearless leader?"

"I wouldn't gang up on him that wouldn't solve a thing" Their voices getting louder

"I'm not saying that I just think that he need a little encouragement"

"Um guys?" Mikey called between his two brothers knowing where his was going

"We can't force him into it Raph"

"Well why not Leo. It helps him and we get answers"

"Guys I don't think….." Mikey tried to but in again but not no response

"It's not the right way to handle the situation."

"Whatever Leo I'm not doing this right now I'm going back to bed." Raph said before storming back into his bedroom

"Hothead" Leonardo mumbled under his breath. He sighed and looked over to Mikey with a sad smile. "We should go back to bed"

Mikey nodded "Alright goodnight" he said then walking back to his own room

Leo watched his youngest brother go back to his room. He sighed one more time and looked back to Donnie's room before walking into his own room and going back to bed


The next morning you could say was a little awkward. Donnie was the last one up and everyone was at the kitchen table having breakfast before training. They all looked up when he got his regular cup of coffee and then continued to sit down and drink it. He felt them staring at him and he looked up and saw his family looking at him with concerned faces.

He rolled his eyes to himself and took another sip of coffee "It was just a nightmare guys it's not like I'm going to fall apart right in front of you" he said with slight bitterness in his voice and with that he put his mug down, not really caring at this moment if he was done with it or not, and headed to the dojo.

Everyone was surprised at his outburst and watched him leave and go into the dojo. A minute later they could hear him pounding on the punching bag. Master splinter sighed he would have to talk to Donatello but decided it would be wise to wait until training was over.

Once everyone (besides Donatello of course) was done with breakfast they headed into the dojo. Master Splinter went in front of his sons as usual. They all kneeled in front of their sensei waiting for instructions.

"Today we will spar no weapons hand to hand only. Leonardo with Michelangelo and Raphael with Donatello." Master Splinter said "Leonardo and Michelangelo you will go first. Take your positions"

Leonardo and Michelangelo got up and faced each other they bowed to each other then got into a fighting stance with their weapons to the side only their fist were up. Master Splinter called and they began. The spar did not last long as Mikey tried to distract Leo but Leo soon got the upper hand and pinned Mikey down.

After Leo helped Mikey up, Donatello and Raphael took their positions. Once Master Splinter called they just stared going around each other in circles waiting for the other to make the next move. Raphael was getting impatient. He made the first move he moved his arm to punch Donnie but he blocked it. Raph made a few more moves including trying to trip him, but all we dodged. Raphael was getting angry now but nobody saw what he was about to do until it was to late.

Raphael had taken his sais out and pinned Donnie to the floor sais in between both of Don's wrists and sat on his chest so he could not get up.

"What the shell is with ya lately" Raphael yelled in his face but before Donatello could answer their sensei yelled

"Raphael, what is the meaning of this? Did I not say this is a no weapon spar?" he asked his temperamental son

"Yes you did sensei" Raphael responded with his head down looking guilty as Leo pulled him off of their purple masked brother while Mikey released him

"Then what was the meaning of this my son?"

"I don't know I was getting impatient I guess."

Master Splinter shook his head slightly, he saw his second youngest son about to leave the dojo, he decided now that talk he was thinking about would be a good idea right about now.

"Donatello, I would like a word with you, the rest of you may go" he said turning to his other sons.

After a minute making sure his other sons we nowhere near by he looked at Donatello and sat down in front of him.

"Sit my son"

Donatello sat down not making eye contact with his father just rubbing his wrist when they were pinned down earlier.

"Something bothers you greatly my son" he started "We cannot help you if you choose not to tell us what it is. I believe it has something to do with what happened with the time scepter and the war staff does it not?"

"Yes it does sensei" Donatello said just above a whisper "I know I am not acting like myself but I working on it. I am sorry if I have caused any concern but I am not ready to tell you or my brothers what happened with it."

"That is fine Donatello, but remember if you keep this to yourself for to long it can have harmful side effects to you and your brothers."

Donatello nodded "I know sensei, I just need to think about some things before I share"

Splinter nodded understanding


When the other three turtles stepped out of the dojo they were surprised to see April and Casey coming into the lair.

"Hey guys, we weren't expecting you" Mikey said

"What we can't come down here without an invite?" Casey asked hugging Mikey

"You guys are aloud down here whenever you want, he was just joking" Leo said

"Where's Donnie?" April asked

"He with Masta Splinter havin' a little talk" Raph responded pointing over his shoulder towards the dojo

"Casey told me he wasn't acting like himself. He said all of you we separated and taken to different dimensions"

"Yeah but something about Donnie isn't right"

After a few minutes of taking to each other and watching some TV they noticed Donatello come out of the dojo with Master Splinter behind him.

Donatello's eyes widened "What are you guys doing here?"

Mikey leaned over to Raphael "Didn't we just do this?"

Raphael just rolled his eyes ignoring his orange banded brother

Master Splinter cleared his throat "Your brother would like to tell you all something"

Donatello sighed "I know I've been acting weird for the past few days and I would like to apologize for that, but what I'm about to tell you might be hard to hear"
