After years Donnie has finally found the cure for Timothy...but now the hardest part is bringing him back home after all these years.

Donnie stood in front of Timothy holding the beacon containing retro-mutagen, nervous and shaky he turned to the others behind him, his brothers, April, and Casey then back to his friend. Hesitating he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"You ok Donnie?" Leo asked

"What...What if it doesn't work." Donnie answered, head down in shame worried that his 'cure' might just make things worse.

"It's worth a shot bro, after all you've been working on this ever since day one." Raph explained.

After another moment of hesitation Donnie nodded to April who nodded back then used her powers to levitate a cloth around Timothy's pod, she has suggested we do so positive he'll be bare butt naked once changed back.

"Alright, fingers crossed everyone." Donnie stepped on the step stool and poured the retro-mutagen was a bright green glow that engulfed the entire lab, bubbling and hissing sounds before the light finally seized and everything went quiet…

"T-Timothy...are you ok?.." Donnie asked there was silence...until

"Donnie?"

And a hand emerged from the top of the pod shocking everyone, April levitated Timothy from the pod while still keeping him completely covered within the cloth, Donnie knelt down next to him.

"Timothy?"

The teenage boy slowly lifted his head and stared at Donnie before turning to examine the rest of himself, tears falling from his eyes as he turned back to his turtle friend.

"D-Donnie you did it…" and he threw his arms around his best friend laughing "It worked! I'm back! Thank You Donnie! Thank You!"

However the mutagen still had some permanent effects on Timothy's body, there was slight hair growth and he had thinned down with more muscle growth. He definitely looked different than from before. In April's words he was 'hotter' than before. She had brought him some new clothes since both his old turtle and Foot suit were burned with the mutagan and would most likely be way too big for him now. He was now wearing a plain green T-shirt that showed off his newly found muscles, a red jacket, blue jeans, and red and white sneakers.

The two sat in Donnie lab alone, Timothy sitting on an exam table while Donnie did a full examination for any other after effects of the mutation. Donnie was talking while he just sat there listening in silence.

"Timothy?" He looked up to the turtle who had a worried expression on his face. Donnie put a hand on his shoulder, "Are you ok?"

"I...I'm…"

Don set down his stethoscope and took a seat next to Timothy. "Timothy..What's wrong?"

He hesitated before pulling Donnie into a hug tears running down his cheeks, his whole body shaking. Donnie held him close as he cried hysterically apologizing over and over.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry for all the trouble I caused! I-I was being so stupid! You were right! I never should have done this! I'm such an idiot!"

Donnie pulled away to meet him at eye level "Timothy calm down!" he wiped a tear away with his big green thumb "Look everyone makes mistakes Tim, I'm not mad, I never was. Please don't blame yourself."

Timothy buried his face in Donnie's plaster still crying while he rubbed his back

"T-Thank You Donnie." Timothy gave him a small smile while Donnie wiped away the rest of his tears. And before they knew it their lips made contact in a long passionate kiss.

"T-Timothy?!" Donnie pulled away face burning red "Ahh Oh My God Donnie! I-I'm so sorry!"

Timothy turned away, his face burned red hot with embarrassment Oh My God! I cannot believe I just did that! D-Did I really just kiss Donnie? On. The. Lips! *eternally screaming*

"Timothy…" Don touched his shoulder

"I-I'm sorry Donnie! I didn't mean- I-I wasn't...I-I'll just go!" he got up to leave but Donnie pulled him back turned him around and pressed his lips against his. Timothy was shocked at first but then leaned further into the kiss.
