I do not own the TMNT.
Oh look! A shooting star! (wishwishwishwishwishwishwish)

Leo and Don returned to the lair more than an hour after they had left.
Raph and Kit exchanged glances that were mixed somewhere between curiosity and worry. The two turtles looked pleased with themselves, but where was Mikey?
Don returned to his lab and went to reorganize his notes. He was so pleased to find that they had already been put back into order that he thanked Kit by threatening her life if she ever touched them again. She scurried out of his lab and met up again with Raphael, who had received a similar thank you for cleaning Leo's room.
"I think they still need a little time to cool off." Raph commented.
"Agreed." Kit was about to add something else when her nose twitched. She opened her mouth to ask Raph about the smell when a green, three fingered hand clamped her muzzle shut.
Kit glared at Raph with enough force to kill a legion of foot ninja and the next thing he knew he was flat on his shell with the mutant cat glaring down at him. "Nice throw." He complimented.
"Thanks, now why did you try to muzzle me?" The look in her eyes was still poisonous.
"The last time you got that look on yer face I had to replace the stuffin' on my punching bag." Raph grunted bitterly, the bag still wasn't quite right.
"Don't worry; I don't think this is another stink bomb." Kit assured him; she held out a hand and pulled Raph to his feet. "This is more…" she sniffed again, "Did the toilet overflow?"
"No, the toilet did not overflow." Mikey grumbled as he entered the lair dripping wet. "At least, I don't think it did."
He marched past the two of them, as he did so Kit slapped her hands over her nose and tried to filter out the smell. Raph stepped back and waved his hand in front of his face, "Whoo! What did you roll in?" He asked.
Mikey grinned, his earlier funk melting as new possibilities presented themselves. His smile melted into a truly sad and pathetic expression and he held out his arms, "Raphie, I need a hug."
"Ferget it." Raph growled, his fists balled up and he slipped into a defensive position, not an inviting subject to hug.
So Mikey switched gears, "Kit?"
"Do and die Mikey, do and die." She warned.
His grin only grew bigger, "You couldn't." To prove his point he stepped towards her.
Kit gagged and stepped back. "RAPH! SICK 'EM!" she ordered, pointing at the putrid turtle.
Raph grinned himself, "Aw come on Kit, he just wants a hug."
Mikey's smile grew even bigger and he took another step forward, Kit took three back. "Traitor." she growled at the red banded turtle. Mikey took another step forward and Kit fled, the orange banded turtle following close behind. "EAAH!"
"Hey, uh, Raph?" Raphael turned to find Leo standing behind him looking uncomfortable.
"What's up Leo?" Raph asked.
"I wanted to apologize for yelling at you like that. You did me a huge favor and I should have thanked you instead of yelling at you." Leo apologized.
"EAAH!" Kit ran past with Mikey still following. Raph and Leo didn't react.
"Hey bro, it's no problem. You were still mad, believe me I understand." Raph shrugged it off, he held out a hand, "So let's not talk about it again, 'kay?" Leo smiled and gripped his brother's hand.
Donnie joined them with an expression that made it clear he wanted to talk to Kit about a similar matter. He opened his mouth to say something to his brothers but was interrupted by a loud thud and the sudden shift of the yelling they had all tuned out into a chanting of, "Getoff-getoff-getoff-getoff! EW GROSS!"
Shortly after that Mikey marched past looking smug. As he passed his three brothers they all stepped back, waving hands in front of beaks and covering noses. Finally Mikey disappeared into the bathroom and they could all hear the faint singing of, "Turtle Titan! Go on and fight 'em! Only you can save the day!"
Soon Kit joined Leo, Don and Raph. She was in a semi-permanent cringe and looked vastly disgusted. Her gi had dirty brownish-yellow water smeared into it and it was painfully clear she was not a happy kitty.
"Ew." Raph said tactfully.
"You!" Kit started advancing on Raphael with her claws extended and held at the ready.
Don came to his brother's rescue, "Wait, Kit, before you kill Raph I need to talk to you." Kit growled at Raph before turning back to face Donnie. The movement must have set off a breeze or something because Leo backed up a few steps. "Kit, I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier, you saved me at least an hour's work and I wasn't very appreciative at the time."
Kit blinked, "You threatened to beat me into Kitchup with your bo staff." She reminded him.
Donnie flinched at the reminder, "Yeah, I'm sorry about that."
For a minute Kit looked down at the floor, she seemed to be considering. "You know Don," She looked up, the absolute picture of hurt, "That was very upsetting for me." She sniffed. "I think I need a hug."
"Wha-? Sure- wait… NO!"

Aw gee Donnie, so mean. Just because she stinks?
Reviews! Reviews are the soap with which I will clean these two stinky mutants!
