Mikey woke up from his nap, so he grabbed his paper and went into the dojo to show Splinter.

"I finished my paper Sensei." Mikey did his best to appear natural. Splinter looked everything over. Mikey hoped Splinter wouldn't notice that he covered anything up.

"Hmm. Very good Michelangelo." Splinter started. Mikey was starting to feel confident, until...

"Why are there white paint markings on the bottom right corner?" Splinter questioned.

Mikey froze up. "Um, oh, those? Ha ha ha! Good one Sensei! Those are nothing, I just accidentally got a pizza stain on my paper, that's all."

Splinter narrowed his eyes. "Mikey..."

Mikey started for the door. "I think I hear the others calling my name, bye!"

Before Splinter could react, Mikey was out of the dojo and back in the tv room. Raph was sitting on the couch reading his Fast and the Furious comic book.

Mikey sat down next to Raph. "I get the feeling that Sensei suspects that I'm cheating on this assignment."

Raph widened his eyes in sarcasm. "Shocker." he replied.

"Wait," Mikey began, "Donnie told you, didn't he?"

"Well no, actually, big bird told me," Raph said dryly. "Of course Donnie told me you nit brain!" Raph shoved Mikey on his side.

"Well shoot fire I was just asking!" Mikey retained.

"Shoot fire?" Raph asked.

"Apparently that wasn't one of my better sentences." Mikey retorted.

"Apparently." Raph agreed, smirking.

"So how's the writing coming along for you?" Mikey asked.

"It's coming along pretty great. I didn't even need to copy from anything." Raph hinted.

"Oh well that's shelltastic" Mikey said, oblivious to the clues Raph was sending.

Raph set a bookmark in his comic book. "So who do you think will have the best written paper out of the four of us?" he asked Mikey.

Mikey got a giddy grin. "I'm guessing it'll be me!"

Raph pursed his lips sarcastically and gasped. "Shut up! Really?"

"Yep, all I have to do is hand it in and wait for Sensei to give me the A+ grade." Mikey put his hands behind his head and leaned back on the sofa.

"Yeah well good luck with that." Raph stifled a laugh.

"Thanks!" Mikey reclined on the sofa.

Leo came into the living room. "It's Space Heroes time!" he announced.

"Yay" Raph and Mikey said at the same time in boredom.

Leo dvrd the tv to season 4 episode 12. "In this episode they travel to jupiter to smuggle goods and then they-

"That's so great Leo can you tell us the rest while you get me a glass of soda?" Raph interrupted.

Leo glared. "If this show is too boring for you guys, you're welcome to-

Raph and Mikey quickly got up and left.

"Leave." Leo finished.

Raph got his soda himself. "Let's see here, do I want root beer or sierra mist today?" he pondered.

"I have dibs on the root beer, so that leaves you with the sierra mist." Mikey said. He reached for the root beer and started to gulp it down. He burped in Raph's face.

"Well that was pleasant." Raph made his way to the table and sat down.

Donnie pulled out his water bottle. "Water is the healthier choice guys. Plus it's just as refreshing, if not more so."

"How can you NOT love soda?" Mikey snatched Donnie's water bottle. "You should get rid of this and pop open a soda."

"Hey!" Donnie reached for his water bottle. "Give that back Mikey!"

"No!" Mikey stubbornly replied.

"I SAID give it back!" Donnie warned between gritted teeth.

"I won't give it back!" Mikey yelled.

Raph did his best to ignore their feud.

Pretty soon Donnie and Mikey were arguing so loud, Leo could barely hear his Space Heroes episode. He went right over to the kitchen.

"I am TRYING to watch my show. Keep it down in here." he disciplined.

"You two are in trooouuble!" Raph said in a sing song voice.

"Mikey started it, he won't give me back my water bottle." Donnie pouted.

Leo sighed. Being the oldest sibling was tough sometimes. "Mikey, please give Donnie his water bottle."

Mikey slid the bottle over to Donnie. "Here."

Donnie took a sip of his water and made a refreshing gasp. "Thanks Mikey."

"Pity for you that you're drinking such a bland beverage." Mikey chuckled, and Leo gave Mikey a warning look. "Mikey, you like what you like, Donnie likes what he likes." Leo said.

"Yeah, yeah I know." Mikey said. Donnie took another swig, and he wiped his face daintily with a napkin. Then, he folded his napkin in a neat triangle and set it aside.

"You're making a big fuss over being clean when it's just water." Raph pointed out.

"No comment." Donnie stuck out his tongue at Raph.

Raph drove to his and Mona's apartment. He went into check on baby Ariana. Ariana was fast asleep, sucking on her pacifier peacefully. The tiny newborn looked so comfortable in her swaddled blanket.

"Hey babe, how are you?" Mona asked.

Raph pecked Mona on the cheek lovingly. "I'm doing pretty good, how are you and Ariana doing?"

"We're doing wonderful thanks so much for asking" Mona smiled. "As you can see I just put Ariana down for her nap.

Raph stroked Ariana's face gently. "I love you my sweet little girl." he said.

Mona lifted Ariana up and set her in her crib.

"Sweet dreams Ariana!" Mona said to her daughter
