Today just was not Donatello's day. He had been asleep for an hour before Raphael barged into his room and dragged Donnie to the boiler room. The water had stopped running half way through his shower and now he was peeved. Donnie sighed, and pushed his way past Raph into the hallway. He needed to grab his tool box before he could fix the problem, so he grumpily made his way to his lab. He pushed open the heavy doors to his lab, only to find Michelangelo dancing to music and doodling all over his blue prints with crayons. He quickly chased him out, and threw the radio into the living room before grabbing his tool box.

He soon left his lab and noticed April was in the pit setting up a movie. She usually arrived early on Saturday with a new movie and an assortment of treats for them to try. He said hello to her and waved nervously, and she replied with a quick 'Hey, Donnie', not even bothering to look at him. He then heard a soft snickering, and looked towards the couch. Mikey and Leonardo were sitting on the couch, looking up at him and laughing quietly to himself. Only then did he realize that he hadn't put on his mask, pads, and wrappings, and was essentially naked and talking to his crush. With a bright red face, he quickly scurried out of the living room and out of the scrutinizing eyes of his brothers. He soon heard their giggling turn into uproarious laughter and his face turned a darker shade of red, and hurried into the boiler room in embarrassment.

After entering the now empty boiler room, he turned off the water and begin to open the pipes in search of the clog. A few minutes of searching passed before he found something lodged in one of the shorter pipes, completely blocking any water from passing through. He removed it from the other pipes and begin to prod at it with a strong wire. A few more minutes of prodding released the offending object's strong hold of the pipe. He turned the pipe downward, and prodded a few more times before the blocking fell to the ground with a sickening plop. At his feet lay a drowned rat, bloated from the water it absorbed. He tried to hold back a gag at the poor animal, knowing that they had been using contaminated water for a few days now. He quickly left the room and closed the door behind him to spare his brothers from the sight, before running to his lab in search of gloves.

Raph was now sitting on the couch, wrapped in a towel and soaking wet. Leo had started a fight with him, complaining that it had taken him forever to find these cushions and didn't want Raph's soggy ass to destroy the couch. Raph retorted that he'll get off the couch as soon as Donnie fixes the water, and to stick any comments Leo has up his ass. Donnie, deciding it wasn't worth his time, said nothing Raph. Instead, he grabbed his gloves from his lab and ran back to the boiler room.

The rat was still laying on the floor when Donnie returned. He slide the gloves onto his hands and gently picked up the bloated animal. The movement and water squeezed a decent amount of water out of the rat, and Donnie gagged as some of the water landed on his feet, and he once again ran out of the boiler room.

Donnie managed to make it out of the lair and into the sewers with no incident. As he was laying down the rat into the disgusting water, he heard the sound of wheels on cement and someone shouting 'Look out!" before he was pushed head first into the sewer. He quickly stood up and climbed out of the water before looking at who pushed him. On the opposite bank sat Casey Jones, laughing hysterically at poor Donnie. He had been running late to their weekly movie, and used his roller blades to get there, but didn't have time to stop before crashing into Donnie.

This simple mistake had been the final straw on Donnie already bad day, and he proceeded to throw one of his infamous temper tantrums. He chased Casey all the way to the lair, screaming profanities to him in various languages at the top of his lungs the entire time. When they arrived at the lair, Leo, Raph, Mikey, and April were already standing outside waiting for them. His brothers tried to calm down their brother, knowing how violent he can get in one of his episodes, but it was to no avail. Donnie, instead, let his anger out on Raph and punched him in the nose before storming off. They could hear him screaming in a mix of German, English and Japanese for a few more minutes before the faded off into silence.

It had been a few hours since Donnie's tantrum, and Donnie was currently sitting in a shallow pool of clean water. He had been scrubbing away at his skin for some times now, and could still feel the feces sinking into his non-existent pores. He had calmed down a lot in his few hours of solitude, but was still quite agitated at the days events. Today was just definitely not his day. Then again, when is it ever his day? He sighed in and continued to scrub his arms and legs raw. He definitely needed a vacation.
