This is really cheesy, but I don't really care. I've been in a pretty chipper mood all day, which has been nice because I found out that a person I have a pretty major crush on likes me back - which sounds like some fanfiction sh*t but it was honestly so cute how they told me. ANYWAY, I'm not here to talk about that, I'm here to give you the epilogue! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS OVER!

To Skye7Diamond: HAHA, I fooled you with that I see. I honestly considered just killing him, but I'm a sucker for happy endings! 3 Thanks for your consistent support friendo!

To Only Hope No Fear: hey, it's okay. I'm fine now, and you didn't mean to do it. We're all good :) Idk when my next fic will be, but I'm glad you're looking forward to it! 3

To AkimiiTheWriter: haha, yeah. Depression probably isn't something I'll 'get over' but I do have an appointment tomorrow to test me for ADHD, which could be contributing. Lol, and I wouldn't be surprised. I'm flattered that you really like me, though! Makes me excited for when I finally publish a real book! And lol, glad you liked the ending.

To Raigon: I didn't include a lot of that… sorry 0-0 maybe I can add a few bonus chapters in a while, with some more of Raph's recovery! 3

WARNINGS?: idk. Trees.

Disclaimer: I don't own TMNT

And now, the TINY epilogue I wrote!

Raphael dropped down onto the grass, grunting a bit on impact. He stood straight and turned to peer up through the branches, stuffing his hands in his pockets. It was strange, after everything that had happened this was what made him feel accomplished the most. Raph grinned.

"There you are!" Raph turned, smirking as Leo ran across the grass. "What are you doing over here?"

"I was…" Raph looked around the park, then shrugged. "Taking a walk." Leo raised his eyebrows, then shrugged.

"If you say so," he said. "Well, we've been looking for you."

"That much was obvious." Raphael grinned, walking with Leo back toward the house. "Why?"

"Oh, maybe because no one knew where you went." Leo rolled his eyes. Raph frowned in mock indignation.

"Leo, I haven't run away in months!" he said, putting a hand on his chest. "I've learned my lesson, honest."

"Yeah, we know," Leo said. Raph nodded.

"Yeah of course you know, you were just worried because I wanted to have some time to myself," he said, tapping his temple. "Got it."

"Okay, maybe I was a little worried," Leo confessed as they reached the street. "But still." Raph snorted, turning a bit to look at the tree, he grinned. "What were you even doing here?" Leo asked, oblivious.

"I told ya, I was taking a walk," he replied, still looking at the small flutter of scarlet he saw.

"Fine, be that way," Leo said, starting across the street. "I see how it is."

"I didn't think you could be sarcastic," Raph said in admiration. Leo laughed. "Do you really wanna know?"

"Yeah, I do," Leo said. Raph stopped walking and grabbed Leo's arm, then pointed at the top of the tree. For a moment, Leo was confused. Then his eyes widened a bit, impressed.

"I win," he said before taking off down the sidewalk.

"Hey!" Leo yelled, chasing after him. Raph laughed.

"See you at home, sucker!" he called. Leo made a small sound of indignation, but Raph ignored him as he got one last look at the ribbon. Maybe red wasn't such a bad color after all.

The End

That's it! That's the end! Oof. This was one of my favorite fics, honestly. Not sure when my next one is coming out, but if you like Thomas Sanders (Sanders Sides) or Dan and Phil from youtube, you can go to my Wattpad ( CobyJLine) To read my fanfictions about them. Not sure why I've separated them like this, but whatevs it's all good. Feel free to review this last chapter, but unless there's a bonus I won't be responding to them. :/ sorry.

Well, I'm about to fill out an ADHD survey, so that's all I have to say. Thank you guys so much for supporting me through this difficult time and liking my work! It really means a lot! 3 3 I love each and every one of you!

Until I post again,
