Sparkle (me): *giggles*
Brain and pinky finally made it to the hospital where their human owner was situated. Not seeing her in 72 hours put a lot of guilt on them. Brain especially. Donnie was carrying them to her room, unaware of what was happening at this very moment in time. "I feel awful, pinky. I feel terrible. We should've been there for her. "Brain says feeling guilty. Pinky looked at him sweetly. " but Brain, Think about it, what's worse, stopping snowball and making sparkle better? Or, not stopping him and sparkle dying? I certainly know which is better in my opinion. Besides, i'm sure sparkle will forgive us, she's a very sweet girl, you and I both know that, so stop worrying so much, just be thankful she'll be alright. You'll be able to apologise to her in time, which I don't think you need to apologise, she'll forgive you don't worry "
Brain hoped pinky was right.
They finally made it to her hospital room. It was deafeningly quiet, something about the room just felt uneasy to the both of them. The genius walked in, Rob awake and continuing to talk to her. Donnie set the mice down As the two of them quickly hurried over to their human owner.
Rob smiled, tears of joy pouring from his eyes. "You found them! Donnie you found them!"
Donnie laughed. "I told you I would. I never make a promise I can't keep it. "He replied. Brain and pinky ran over, climbing up to their human owner and nuzzling her. "We're here, me and pinky are here. We love you, please sweetie, wake up." Brain pleaded. He quickly got up, moving closer to her heart. Pinky smiled, just watching from a little further away as the usually non-affection giving mouse was giving affection.
The megalomaniac stayed in his position on her chest, squeaking comfortingly as he knew she would be scared. Brain slowly heard her move, she was whimpering which worried him, he nuzzled multiple times letting her know that she was safe.
Brain couldn't imagine anything from the pain, To the fear, to the guilt most likely settled in her stomach. Being knocked out by, according to Donatello, deadly knockout gas, made you think about a lot, even if you were slowly dying. Nonetheless, the megalomaniac stayed on her chest, singing her favourite songs in her ear, like sharing secrets that only were meant for her. Sparkle was his baby girl, whether he was going to admit it out loud, that was a completely different thing. Sparkle Miller, was, and always will be. Brain's Baby Girl.
Hearing footsteps walking into the room, the megalomaniac quickly got off her chest scampering down, just in case it was a doctor or nurse, by the sounds of their footsteps, it was, so he stayed out of sight. Making sure he and his friend weren't thrown out. Pinky saw his companion move, he knew the nurses were due in, so he too hid out of plain sight.
Many doctors, nurses, and specialists later, the megalomaniac and his goofy companion could now go back to sitting on their human owner's lap and chest. Brain perched himself back onto her chest, snuggling closely to hear the sound of her ragged breathing, nothing like it once was before. She was so happy, full of life and sunshine, it physically felt wrong for the girl who knew and loved to be like this. This wasn't supposed to happen, and the megalomaniac not being there was probably the result of it. The guilt ate him alive, it was noring on his insides, twisting in places he forgot he had. The mouse not far from him heart broke at the guilt his friend was plastered with. Maybe it would make him feel better if he did apologise to her, and she forgave him of course. Brain needed to apologise to feel better, and he needed sparkle to forgive him to feel even more better, but pinky wasn't going to judge.
Then, Tress walked in, placing a loving kiss on Rob's cheek. "Thanks hon." Rob murmured.
The 11-year-old nodded, sitting in the chair the 12-year-old gestured her to, as she interlaced her fingers in between his squeezing tightly. "I love you. "She whispers, knowing how hard it was for him to watch his childhood best friend go through this much pain. She understood if he didn't respond to her declaration, she knew if he said the words he was dreading to say, the seed would be planted within him, making her one of the people he was scared to lose. But she knew he loved her, he was just scared to say it right now, in case the first time he said it would be his unfortunate last. Instead, she felt him squeeze back, caressing The back of their intertwined hands.
"I'm not going anywhere." Tress murmurs. "And neither is she. "The girl gestured to his childhood friend, sleeping and raggedly breathing in the hospital bed beside them. "And neither is your dad, I just checked with the staff on his ward, and they said he should begin the treatment soon. So you have nothing to worry about, the people you love are still going to be here, I promise." Rob turned to her, smiling. "I know, I'm so happy they managed to find a cure for my dad, like I said, I don't know what I'd do without him." The 11-year-old girl nodded, kissing his cheek again. He smiled, getting up, as he saw Maurice walk in. " let's go see him. "Rob whispered, taking her by the hand and exiting the room, going to see his dad.
Tress smiled, happily following as Maurice came in and waved, taking their spot next to the girl they were previously sitting with. "Hey guys, "the teenager whispered. "Everything okay? "The non-teenagers looked at him, frowning. "I don't know." Rob responded, looking sad as he walked to the door, looking at her one more time before leaving.
Maurice's stomach churned in a uncomfortable way as he looked at the nine-year-old next to him. Brain noticed him, lifting his head up. "Hi. "The teenager responded. Brain quietly waved. "Hello. Maurice. Thank you for coming to see her. Poor Rob has been there for four days, he's been so nice to her. Donatello told us." Donnie perked up at his name being mentioned and waved, Maurice smiled, waving back. " I hope you're okay sparkle. " Maurice whispered quietly. Brain clambered over to him resting one of his paws on his shoulder. " don't worry, Donatello said she's getting better, minus her ragged breathing, it's just ragged because she's having frequent nightmares, poor thing, but Donatello advised us not to wake her up, so she'll wake up on her own terms as long as we keep talking to her."
As if on cue, like it was scripted in one of Maurice's School play productions, Sparkle began thrashing around in her sleep, crying and murmuring horrible things. The teenage boy just stared as the megalomaniac quickly rushed over to her side. "It's okay sparkle... It's just a dream... You can come back to us, we're here for you." Brain comforted slowly. "No!" She shouted in her sleep. "Shhh," Brain hushed. " it's okay sweetheart, it's alright... You're safe, no one can hurt you here... You're going to be okay, I promise, you can wake up when you're ready and we'll be here." Maurice stared in heartbreak at the horrible sight of his youngest classmate having all these horrid dreams. " don't worry Maurice," Brain murmured softly. " she'll be alright. "The teenage boy looked at the mouse. "Probably off topic, but your voice reminds me of someone, I'm not sure who though. "Brain chuckled. "Orson Welles?" Brain asked immediately. The teenage boy nodded. "Yeah, I don't know why though."
Brain chuckled again. "I can see why you thought that."
Hours passed by, but still there was no movement. Donatello did say the fact that she was talking in her sleep when she had the nightmares was a good thing, it means she was trying to pull herself out of them. It had been almost 6 hours, visiting hours were over and Maurice had to drag an extremely emotional Leela out of the room, with help from Rob, who was just as emotional but knew better than to break the visiting hour law. All that was left in the somehow much bigger hospital room (now that there wasn't so many people in the room) all that were left where the megalomaniac and pinky sparkle's parents were on another late shift again leaving the megalomaniac and his companion to tender her.
Which also meant Brain would be able to swim in his own guilt for around eight or 12 hours depending on how long her parents would be. Brain hated swimming in his own guilt, it felt like he was swimming in a whirlpool with tons of sharks eating at him, telling him all these awful things, not all of them were true, the megalomaniac had his reasons for leaving the girl. But there was some of them that were inexcusable. Brain knew if he left his girl alone, something was about to happen, he should've stayed and then when the action took place then you could've gone. Giving him time to make a promise to his nine-year-old girl that they were going to save her. But now that wasn't going to happen, even though turning down the dial to the 25% mark, from the original 50 it was placed helped, the megalomaniac wasn't sure how long sparkle would have left. It was the sound of her ragged breathing that was a sheer sign of her still existence. If that stopped, and it better not, if her ragged breathing stopped. Brain would shatter into a million pieces. That ragged breathing was the only thing keeping the megalomaniac breathing. If it stopped for one second it would be the end of the world…
Hi everyone!
Long authors note ahead!
How have you guys been? Me? Not great. My mental health has been the reason why this chapter has taken so long to make. School hasn't helped either. My mental health has been awful. I've been struggling to stay positive this week, it's been really hard not to curl up in a ball, and not burst into tears. It's been really hard for me to have any motivation to write or do anything. My physical pain in my hip is getting worse, some days I just wish I didn't have to go to school. But I am going because I need to social interaction. Writing fanfiction often helps with my depression. Especially Animaniacs.
The cast of this show has really saved my life. Thanks so much. Especially Rob Paulsen. Thank you Rob, thank you for getting me through this week, and these few months until I get my surgery. I really wish I could actually tell you how you've impacted me, not just with Yakko and Pinky, but with Donatello and Raphael too. Donnie has helped me a lot these past few weeks, after discovering the show (TMNT 2012)
Donnie has really helped me on a physical level. I don't know what it is about your portrayal of the character, I really don't know what it is, but your portrayal of him is just so amazing. I feel like I wanna cry every time I hear him talk, and then he just wrapped me up in his arms and hugs me, tell me it will be okay. There's something about him, well, The way you portray him, that makes me want to just curl up in a ball and tell him how much I hate my life right now. There's something about the way he talks that just gives me hope, and gives me strength to continue on. It's been really hard, but soon as I hear him talk, laugh, or say something genius that I don't understand, I melt into a puddle of tears and just want to tell Donnie how much it hurts, how much I hate my disability, how much I hate having this stupid dislocated hip.
Sometimes I wonder if I should just disappear, but then I remember The characters you do, I remember that if no one else is here for me, which isn't true, I have lots of people who support me and love me, but when it feels like there's no one out there willing to catch my tears. I remember your characters, I watch them, I cry, and then after a bit, I laugh, because you just make me laugh. There's something about The four characters I have mentioned that fully understand me.
Raphael represents the anger I feel that I am in pain, he is the one that understands my anger and why I feel this way.
Donatello is the one that calms me down when I get too angry, he is the turtle that reminds me that everything will be okay, it's his voice that brings me down from the anger I'm feeling because it hurts so much.
Donnie is that person that is telling you to take a deep breath, trying to distract from the excruciating pain you're feeling. Donnie is the turtle that will let me cry for however many hours, and still say the same thing over and over again.
Yakko Is the character that just makes me laugh so hard that I end up almost peeing myself, is that character that makes me laugh and smile so hard, that my cheeks end up hurting so much because I smile so much when I see him or hear him on screen. Just hearing him spit witty shit out of his mouth just makes me laugh so hard.
Pinky, is the person that represents my sadness, when I feel like I don't think I can be anything else. Pinky is that blanket that tells me it's okay to have a bad day, pinky just smiles at me, making me let out the feelings that I want to keep in.
Pinky's that person that knows when I've been holding in my emotions too long, he just tells me 'kiera, let it out…' and I just do.
Pinky is the one that tells me it's okay to feel my depression. He is the one that comforts me, and even though he doesn't understand. He tries to. Pinky is that voice that is telling me it's not weak to break down and cry. And then when I finish crying, from sadness or anger, I smile again. And pinky says he's proud of me for letting it out.
Thank you Rob Paulsen for giving these characters their distinct voices and personalities. Thank you for making me smile thank you for sharing your story too, it means a lot that you would share your story with us who grew up hearing your voice making our childhood that much more memorable, and making us come back to it when Adultlife is too hard
Sorry about these long authors note guys. But I felt like I needed to share that, the cast of these shows have given me light at the end of my deteriorating rainbow. They've given me later when times get to discuss. I apologise that this chapter has taken so long to make, and I won't spend too long on the next one.
This also means we are coming to the end of our story soon. Only a few more chapters left to go then it's finished :-( I really don't want to say goodbye to the story yet but we still have a few chapters left. And the Epilogue! So we still have a little while yet! So I can't wait for you guys to read the ending of our beautiful story. I am already planning a sequel to this story, but that won't be coming for a while yet. So keep your eyes peeled!
