Know you Now 10

.

It wasn't long before Raph and Leo came barreling through the door of the lair. Raph was laughing clutching at his sides, as Leo came in behind him, laughing just as hard.

"there's no...ha, no way you beat me...you cheated.. "Leo said witha laugh, shaking his head while trying to catch his breath.

"Pfft...wha' eva, you lost...so you know what that means~"Raph said, taunting Leo as he walked towards the living room.

"ugh, not going otbe fun..." Leo said, following Raph into the living room.

"bets a bet, bro" Raphsaid with a smirk.

To his and Leo's surprise, the living room was empty. In fact, the whole lair was strangely quiet. A ghost of a whisper could be heard from Don's computer, and the small sounds of the key board as he typed away on the board.

But where was Mikey?

Raph said, he was already up searching for the missing turtle. It was never good when Mikey was quiet. When he was it always meant something was terribly wrong.

Climbing the stairs, Raph headed for the bedrooms.

Standing in front of Mikey's door, Raph raised his hand to knock.

Something in the back of his mind told him to be wary, but Raph could remember of what to save the life of him.

With a small shrug, Raph's fist came down on the wooden door. The sound echoing around him, as if it taunted him of the thing he had forgotten.

Pay back...

The door opened and the balloon came flying through the air faster then Raph could react, it hit him square on the beak, sending Raph tumbling backwards. Sitting up from his spot on the floor, Raph had enough time to see the mask tail of Mikey, as he dashed away for safety.

Wiping what ever it was away from his face Raph growled low in his throat.

" MIKE!" Raph roared, he was already barreling through the hall way like a bull. He toar through the living room, then through the kitchen...no one was there.

Huffing and puffing, Raph turned to see Leo standing in the kitchen door way.

"where" Raph growled out, his fists were clenched tightly, making his nuckles go a pale green.

"you know, I think he was getting you pack for not reacting on the last prank, maybe you should just not react again?.." Leo said, he was smiling like an idiot, looking at the mess that covered Raph.

"I shit you not Leo if ya don't tell me, I'll go right through ya" Raph said, taking a threatening step forward.

Leo raised his hands in defence, looking up Leo gave a sly smile.

"Oh I have a much better idea"

.

His feet sloshed through the thick slime of the sewers. The strench raking at his skin, trying to claim and mark.

Mikey sighed.

A half hour had passed, and no Raph. He was sure he would have gotten something for the balloon to Raph's face...yet it seemed that wish wouldn't be coming.

Yes he loved the new Raph. He was fun, the books,and even the more brother time they spent together was great.

But, but he wanted to still pull pprank and get a reaction. It just wasn't fun when Raph didn't chase after him.

Sure he was happy that Raph had found a new side of himself, but did he have to rid himself of all normality?

Couldn't he still get mad sometime.

Shaking his head, Mikey started for home. There was no point hiding from a brother who wasn't coming.

Seeing the lair entrance just a little up a head, Mikey jogged a little. With another sigh he pulled the lever and entered their home.

looking around Mikey could see no one. The lair was quiet again. To quiet for Mikey's liking.

Looking around, Mikey slowly walked toward the center of their home.

Something told him there was something very wrong about all of this...

It wasn't just the silence anymore, no. Normally there was always noise, even if it was just background noise. But now, now there wasn't anything.

Just the heart wrenching silence that ate away at his very soul.

Mikey's mouth twisted into a frown.

"uh...guys?"Mikey called out, but received no answer.

Something was definitelywrong with this.

Turning, Mikey headed farther into the living room.

Something was definitely not-

Two brothers stood from the back of the couch.

"fire!" Raph yelled.

Both Leo and Raph released the onslaught of balloons.

They hit Mikey before he had a chance to do anything. The different colored balloons rained down upon him like a raindrops from the thundering skies. Splashing and marking him with the liquids.

But it wasn't water, no. It was paint, pink paint to be exact.

Mikey barely had a chance to move, and all that did was cause him to slip and send him to the hard ground.

With a groan, Mikey covered his face, trying to block out the balloons and the contents within them.

He could hear the laughter of his brothers as they finished throwing the last of the balloons. Sitting up, Mikey looked at his brothers with a glare.

"Dudes, seriously not cool!" Mikey growled out, he tried to get up but only slipped on the paint.

"bull Mike! That right there was funny shit" Raph laughed, he was smiling, his arm resting a Leo's shoulder.

Leo was still laughing, shaking his head. Both he and Raph wore the same smile. The smile basically screamed mischief.

"okay, since when do you two like work together, huh? Cause that sucked" Mikey grumbled. He was at least standing now...on shaky legs, but he was still up.

Raph looked over at Leo, then to Mikey.

"remember when we were little?"

Leo nodded his smile growing as he remembered how Raph and he used to work together to sneak attacks on Don and Mikey.

Mikey slipped again in the paint, causing him to fall backwards and on to his shell. Mikey let out a loud groan, then slumped.

"Dudes...the bonding thing is nice and all" Mikey said, sitting up in the pink paint and looking at his still smiling brothers.

"but seriously, go pick on Donny instead."
