(A/N: So tired. So tired I can't even believe it. Late night typing like always. This chapter is one you shall never have expected. Anyways, I was reading some of my old stories, and I read the 'Return To New York: What Really Happened' and I laughed at the sentence that said 'I guess Don IS always prepared…' and I couldn't stop! It's just such a true statement… I didn't even realize it until now. On with the sad chapter, but happy at the same time… Wait, is that possible?? Also the italics symbolize what's going on… Outside of the letter…)

"L-let's get to bed, Don…" Leo said, grabbing his brother's wrist lightly.

"I-I don't think I can sleep, Leo…" He replied in a whisper. Leo felt the tears come on, because he knew he himself would be in the same situation.

"We have to try, Donnie…" Leo started. Don complied and followed his brother to his room, but then he stopped. "What's wrong?"

"C-can we sleep in M-Mikey's room?" He asked. Leo felt one stray tear fall. He nodded and they walked in. Dust coated mostly everything. Leo brushed the dust off of the bed and they laid down. It felt much more comforting in that room than their own rooms, and then they fell asleep.

The next morning, Leo awoke and turned, careful or waking his brother. A paper fell off of his chest. He sat on the edge of the bed, and picked the paper up. He began to read…

Dear Leonardo and Donatello,

Wow, it's been a very long time since I have spoken… Well, written to you two. This is the first that I actually brought to you two, and the others were trashed. I received the letters from you guys though. All of them, you couldn't hide them from me. It was really nice. I knew what was going on, and I wasn't even there. I regret not being there, still. But I didn't have a choice but to leave.

To answer questions, yes, I am in a heaven of a sort. Yes, I took Raph. But NO I did not take Splinter. He came on his own. I had nothing to do with his death. But Raph was weakening, and he called out to me. So, I listened to his pleas and took him. I'm sorry, I know you guys weren't prepared to lose him. I know you guys are alone together now, but it will be that way for a while… Yes, I do know what is to come of you both. But I am not allowed to tell you. Don't worry, neither of you will die alone. That's all I can tell you…

Now, I have separate messages to give you both.

Leonardo- It has never EVER been your fault… In ANYTHING. Are you reading this? When you found me on the couch, it wasn't your fault I died. It was never your fault. You are an innocent, but hardened person, and I know all you have wanted is your family's approval. That's why I am saying on behalf of all of us here and there that we approve of your actions, you are one of the greatest people I have met in my entire life. I was fortunate enough to live in your presence and you took care of great. Now that you and Don are alone, and our brother can take care of himself, you need to take care of yourself too. You have done your job, you can have a break. We will all be fine. I love you, Leo…

Donatello- I was informed by some of your early letters… You had a hard time believing I was dead. I can understand that, for I didn't even believe I was dead… It took seeing the letters everyone left for me to realize what happened. I remember how I died clearly; I just didn't want to believe it. I think that's what you thought at first. Is it? Don't be scared of death, Donnie. It is inevitable, it will come whether you want it to or not. I know you have lost three family members to death, but they are fine. They are happy, and not really because they are dead, but they are happy because they are not alone. Well, I just want to let you know that I love you, so much… Do you finally understand what I meant by 'The beginning of the end'?

Raph said something about writing in his death letter about the 'New Divide'. I see why he put that, and I also hope you guys understand it too. I also hope you really can make it past this new divide. Or the future I said won't happen.

Well, I am running out of time to write this to you two. I love you guys, and miss you. Raph and Splinter say hi.

Can you do something for me, though?

Keep writing me those letters; they are some of the best things to read when you are here. Don't be afraid to write to Splinter or Raph either, they would probably love it like I do.

See you in the afterlife.

Love for eternities and the future to come,

Michelangelo

At that point, Leo was shaking uncontrollably and sobbing. He dropped the letter and put his head in his hands. He felt stirring in the bed.

"L-Leo?" Don whispered, groggily. He got up and Leo retrieved the letter and gave the paper to his brother. Don read and began to cry as well. The two brothers were emotional wrecks, and hugged each other. "I love you Leo…"

"I love you too, Donnie…" Leonardo choked out. After a few minutes, tears ran out for them and they could only hug each other.

For now that they knew their family was okay and together, they needed the companionship. They knew what was needed to get over this, and it was each other.

They would cross this new divide, even if it took everything they have.

(A/N: That's a wrap! Hope you enjoyed, I sure did.)
