After breakfast, Raph went into the TV room and read his new comics. Leo sat right in front of the TV and watched Space Heroes. He was really getting into the show.

"Leo, I've been sitting here for about five minutes now and I already know that this show is stupid." Raph commented.

"It's a really good show. And besides, it's probably just a fad. I'll probably be over Space Heroes within a week or two." Leo said, turning back around. Raph rolled his eyes and went back to his comic book.

Don retreated to his lab to start fixing his new laptop.

"Hey Donnie." Mikey said, looking over his brother's shoulder.

"What do you want Mikey?" Don asked, twirling around.

"I just wanted to say thanks." Mikey said, giving Don a big hug.

"For?"

"An awesome Christmas. The tree and the T-phones that I should've named. And for being there for me." Mikey said, letting go and stepping back.

"You're welcome, but the tree and planning this was all you. I just helped drag it down here." Don said. Mikey smiled at him and pulled up a stool.

"So how's the laptop fixing ting going?" Mikey asked, setting his head on Don's arm.

"It's going good. I just need to get some parts from the dump, find a good battery, and grab some duct tape to fix it up. Then once it's up, I'll have to reset the whole thing and I'll have to hack into a close by internet connection. Then, I will be done." Don said. Mikey was almost cross-eyed in deep thought.

"Um." Mikey said. Don sighed.

"It's going good Mikey." Don simplified. Mikey smiled and gave a thumbs up, "How's your art supplies and everything?"

"Awesome! I'm drawing a picture of all of us in front of the tree and with Santa hats on!" Mikey exclaimed, holding a half colored picture in front of Don's face. It was the spitting image of all of them.

"That's really good Mikey. You really have a talent." Don said. Mikey looked down at the picture.

"Not as good as Raph though. I didn't even know he knew how to draw."

"You'll get better and better though. Just be patient. One day, you'll be painting murals on ceilings!" Don joked. Mikey didn't get it. Don sighed and turned back to his laptop. Mikey left and went to his room. A few hours passed.

"Hey guys!" Raph called around 4:00 p.m., "I have another Christmas present for you guys!" Leo, Don, and Mikey rushed into the kitchen where Raph stood.

"What is it?" Mikey asked, looking around.

"Pizza!" Raph said, holding a steaming box in front of him.

"Is that the stuff you told us about?" Leo asked, looking at the pepperoni pizza.

"Yup! You gotta try this stuff!" Raph said, grabbing a slice, "It's awesome." He said with his mouth full. Mikey was the first of the three to get a slice. He took a bit and his eyes widened. Don and Leo attacked the pizza, trying to t a slice before none was left.

"Wow Raph! You were right!" Leo said, already on his second slice.

"This is the best thing I've ever tasted!" Don said, his mouth full. Raph nodded and bowed in his seat.

"Oh, we can start training now." Mikey said, licking his fingers.

"I thought you wanted to wait until spring. Because there were too many memories in there." Leo said, looking at Mikey and Donnie.

"That was just a cover because we were hiding the tree in there and didn't want anybody to know." Mikey answered without thinking. Don kicked Mike in the leg.

"Is that true Don?" Leo demanded, giving Don a less intense version of his stare. Don slumped down in his seat.

"Maybe." Don mumbled, twiddling his thumbs.

"You two lied to me. You really lied to me." Leo said. Mikey shifted position.

"Well you lied to us!" Mikey protested, "You said that Daddy would come back! A-and you said soon!" Don slumped further down in his seat, he just wanted to disappear.

"What was I supposed to say?!" Leo demanded, standing up.

"At least our lie was a good one! It was supposed be a surprise so you'd be happy! That's all me and Donnie wanted!" Mikey yelled, standing up too.

"Mikey, please leave me out of this." Don said, barely visible.

"Mine was supposed to lift your spirits!" Leo yelled. Don covered his ears.

"Well it didn't work! All I wanted to do was make you and Raph happy! I should take back your gifts because, now that I think about it, you guys don't even deserve it! You guys are always fighting, making me go to Don for comfort! I know Don feels the same way! We're the little bothers and you guys are supposed to be the big brothers! You two are supposed to take care of us when we're sad! But we can't go to you because YOU'RE THE PROBLEM!" Mikey yelled, he started crying and stormed off to his room.

Don was now on the ground in a ball, crying. Leo still stood dumbfounded at his youngest little brother's speech about how bad of a big brother he was. Leo started tearing up and left to his room. Raph was the only one left at the table, with Don sitting underneath.

"Donnie? You okay?" Raph asked, peering under the table. Don looked up at Raph with teary brown eyes.

"What do you think?" Don snapped, pulling himself back into his chair. He laid his head down and kept on crying.

"I-I'm sorry." Raph said, putting a hand on Don's shell. Don scooted away.

"I don't care." Don said, getting up and going into his room. Raph sat there and wondered what and how this just happened.

Don heard a knock at his door. He just turned away and faced the wall. The door creaked open.

"Donnie?" Mikey asked, walking in. His voice was shaky.

"What Mikey?! What do you want this time?!" Don snapped, turning around and facing his little brother. Both of them had tear stains on their cheeks. Mikey stepped back and stared at the ground.

"Never mind." Mikey said in a whisper. Slowly, he sat the text books for Don on the ground. They were wrapped in a little red bow. He closed the door after he left and sat there in front of the door, "I'm sorry." Mikey whispered, burying his face in hi teddy bear. Raph was walking by and saw Mikey on the ground.

"Mikey? What are you doing outside of Don's room?" Raph asked, getting down on one knee. Mikey just stood and walked away to his room.

"Why did this have to be on Christmas? Why?" Raph asked as he walked to his room. He heard Mikey's door slam shut.

"Mikey was right though." Raph said, looking over at Spike. Raph rested his head on Spike's table, "I really need to stop arguing. Not just for me but for Mikey and Donnie." Raph told Spike. Spike just chewed on his leaf.

"Starting tomorrow, there will be NO arguing for me. How does that sound Spike?" Raph asked, standing upright. Spike looked up at Raph then went back to his leaf.

"Leo said on the edge of his bed with his head in his hands. He sighed and lay down.

"I'm a horrible big brother." He said, covering his face with his hands. He took a deep breath and sat back up.

"Starting tomorrow, I'm going to be a better brother and be there for Donnie and Mikey. No more arguing." Leo said with a determined look. He nodded and lay down, pulling his covers over his head. He turned off his lamp and fell asleep.

Sorry I couldn't update sooner. I've had to work (blech) and my computer was being stupid and wasn't let me on the internet. Oh, and also I've been writing my new fanfic and forgot about this one :P
