A/N: A little cliffhanger and lot's of fluff ahead! ;)

On a roof in New York

Mikey's POV

I've been running over rooftops for about an hour now! Where is Donnie?!
If anything bad happens to him… I don't know what I'll do. I just couldn't live without him! Or Raph! Or Leo!
I stopped running and looked around the city, at all the lights in the houses and the families that live there.
Family… It's a precious thing to have… Too bad you only realize something's value when it's gone…
Man, did I really tell Leo that he wouldn't be my brother anymore? That's so not me! I'm supposed to be the 'fun-guy'. The goofball… Why didn't Donnie see I was only trying to help HIM out?
The only reason I'm goofing around is to make others happy or to lighten the situation!
He should know that… right?
I started running again, but slower this time. I was completely lost in thought. Then, I saw someone standing on the roof in front of me. When I looked closer, I saw it was Donnie. I smiled and ran faster.

I jumped, but missed the edge by an inch.
I didn't even yell.
I just tried to grab the edge. When this worked out, I sighed.
Suddenly, I hear Donnie pulling his bo out (believe, after fifteen years of living together, you know that sound!).
I gulped. If he thought I was an enemy…

Oh boy, this won't end well!

Donnie's POV

I can't believe I really just did that… I completely lost it… Would this be what Raph feels most of the time? Then I understand why he's so angry.
Oh man… I didn't mean those things! Okay, maybe I did at the moment… But I didn't mean to say it out loud!
Why did Splinter make me leader? I can't take this pressure! Now I get why Leo can be so grumpy and bossy.
The only one who's still being his usual self is Mikey… And I yelled at him like that… Man, I really messed this up!

Suddenly, I heard a sound. I jumped up and took my bo out as I turned around…
I didn't see anything, but I was sure I had heard something. So I walked closer to the edge, my bo in my hand. Just in case I was about to be attacked.

I was stunned to see my little brother dangling there. "Mikey?!", I yelled "What are you doing?!"
Mikey looked up and grinned: "Not much, just hanging around" I sighed. Typical, in a situation like this making jokes…
"Grab on", I said as I offered him my hand. He took it gratefully and together, we managed to pull him on to the roof.

While I was still catching my breath, Mikey stood up and walked over to where I was standing. Once I had regained my breath, he pulled me in a hug.
"No need to thank me, Mikey", I said "We're brothers. We save each other from an almost death. Nothing unusual"
When he didn't respond, I hugged him back. Then, he spoke up: "Don't leave us, bro. We need you! You're part of our family! We need you to keep us together!"

I sighed: "No, you don't. The only reason why you need me is to fix the stuff you guys broke"
Mikey pulled back: "That's not true! We need Leo so that we don't do too much crazy stuff and so we don't die in battle! We need Raph to protect us, most of the time from ourselves, and so he can defend us in battle when necessary! You guys need me to not get depressed and too serious in battle! But we need you to keep us together and functioning! A body is nothing without a brain!"

I smiled at this point. This is so cute!

Then, Mikey continued: "You should know what happens when you take the brain out of the body! It stops working! The heart stops beating, the muscles stop working,… The mind doesn't function anymore… Without the brain, the body is nothing but an empty package."
Now, I finally noticed his references to us as a team.
I sighed again: "And what if the mind doesn't want the brain around? What if the mind thinks he can control the body by himself?"

"Too bad for him", a voice from behind me said. When I turned around, I saw Raph grinning: "The mind will just have to cope with that! Because the muscle and the heart would die without the brain!" He put his arm over my shoulder.
That coming from Raph… wow, I think that was a compliment.. wel, sort of…

"Thanks guys", I said with a smile "and sorry about earlier. I just lost my self-control there. I wasn't even thinking. What kind of a brain is that?!"
"Mine!", Mikey said as he hugged me and Raph at the same time. Both of us started laughing and hugged Mikey back.

"We should get back home", Raph said "Leo will probably be worrying about where we are"
"Yeah right…", I answered.
But Raph looked me in the eyes: "He's sorry to, Don. He really is. Just… work it out between the two of you"

I believed him and nodded. And then, the three of us went home.
But nothing could have prepared us for the sight of the lair when we arrived…
