Raphael is the elder, Raph is younger.
Donatello is the elder, Don or Donny is the younger.
Michaelangelo is the elder, Mikey is the younger.
Leonardo is the elder, Leo is the younger. ............................................................................................................
"And...when we..." Donatello had to stop to clear his throat. All six turtles were crying by now. Leo was just sitting with a stony look on his face. Splinter showed no emotion as well, apart from blinking rapidly.
"...woke up...um...we found that Leo was dead—"
Raphael growled at that part. "That IDIOT died and we ain't even got to say a fuckin' goodbye..." He whispered the last part and sniffed. Nobody bothered to reprimand him about the foul language.
Silence followed after the story. Only occasional sniffing was heard when suddenly Leo smiled.
Everyone stared.
"Well if that's how I died...err...will die...then I'm relieved!" Leo exclaimed looking quite pleased.
Mikey stared even more at his elder brother. "Umm...Leo? Are you feeling okay?" He asked hesitantly, scooting away from him.
Leo looked at Mikey as if he was nuts. "Yes...why?"
Raph rolled his eyes at that. "Oh, I don't know...maybe because NORMAL PEOPLE DON'T GO ALL DAMN HAPPY THAT THEY'RE GONNA DIE!!!!!!"
Leo winced at the last part. "Ow, Raph. You didn't need to shout!"
All six turtles stared at their elder brother as if they've never seen someone like this before.
Donatello wiped a tear. "Well you're taking this rather well...!" He said sarcastically.
Leo laughed. "Well, I'm not that happy that I'm gonna die—"
Raphael interrupted. "Then what are you so happy about??!!!"
Leo snapped. "Well, excuse me if I don't go running around the room bawling my head off because I'm gonna die today! Excuse me if I'm HAPPY that I'M gonna die and NOT MY BROTHERS!!!!!!!!"
Everyone had to wince at the last part. But Raphael wouldn't give in.
"Oh, so you're HAPPY THAT YOU'LL DIE TODAY???"
"That's not what I said, but YES!!! I'M HAPPY THAT I'LL DIE WHILE MY BROTHERS SURVIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY!!!!! IT'S A SACRIFICE I'M WILLING TO MAKE!!!!!"
"YOU SELFISH IDIOT!!! DON'T YOU THINK ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE BUT YOURSELF???!!!! YEAH, SURE. WE'LL LIVE, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE THE TRAGIC HERO AT THE ENDING, RIGHT??? CAN'T YOU SEE HOW THIS AFFECTS US IN THE FUTURE???!!!!"
Raphael waved his hand towards the now sobbing group of turtles behind him.
Leo crossed his arms. "DON'T YOU THINK ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOURSELF, RAPHAEL????!!!!! EVERYDAY WE PUT OUR LIVES ON THE LINE FIGHTING THE SHREDDER, AND NOW, WHEN THE TIME COMES, AND MY BROTHERS ARE IN GRAVE DANGER, YOU WANT ME TO JUST STAND ASIDE AND LET THE SHREDDER HAVE HIS WAY????!!!!"
"BASICALLY, YES!!!! IT WOULD SAVE OUR DAMN SELVES FROM HAVING TO MOURN!!!!"
"THAT MAKES NO SENSE, RAPHAEL!!! Besides, you know I could never do THAT. I could NEVER leave you all in any kind of danger. Much-less LIFE- THREATENING ONES!!!!!"
Splinter at this stood up. "ENOUGH OF THIS FOOLISHNESS!!!!"
Both Leo and Raphael stopped yelling and looked at him. So did the other five turtles. Splinter looked furiously at his two sons.
"Raphael, that is ENOUGH. Leonardo is absolutely correct in his thinking. What would you do if YOUR brothers were in danger?"
Raphael bowed his head. "I would do anything to save them." He mumbled.
Splinter nodded. "And that is exactly what your brother is doing..."
Raph couldn't take anymore of this. "SO YOUR TAKING HIS SIDE???!!!!" Raph yelled pointing at Leo. "AND I THOUGHT THAT YOU OF ALL OF US HERE WOULD TAKE OUR SIDE!!!!!!! DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT US???? DON'T YOU CARE IF LEO DIES???"
Leo looked at his younger brother in horror at the way he was speaking. "Raph..." He began, but Raph wouldn't let him. "DON'T SAY A WORD. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ALL!!!!! I HATE YOU!!!" He yelled, pointing to Leo. "I GODDAMN (sorry) FUCKIN' HATE YOU!!!!!"
With that, Raph rushed out of the room, out of the Lair and into the sewers. Raphael followed immediately. The other four hesitated before following Raph.
Leo sighed and sat down. Putting his head into his hands he began to sob.
Splinter looked pityingly at his son and put his hand/paw on his shoulder. "Remember Leonardo. I am very proud of you. Of what I hear, I am very proud of your efforts to save your brothers." At this, he sniffed.
Leo looked up at his sensei and saw him wiping away tears. "Please," Splinter continued. "Do not do anything unnecessary. Your brothers and I love you very much and it would be a great and grave loss if you were to pass away."
Leo smiled sadly. "I know, Sensei. I know."
'But I have a feeling that it will not be my choice...'
How fragile we are......
