Authors notes: Hi! I'm Doll Girl. I haven't written in here yet so please be nice. Any flames will be used to make pizza! I got this idea after the Tales of Leo episode.

A Brother's Promise

This couldn't be happening. Not to Leo. He was lying on the couch weak and struggling to survive. I was scared. I kept thinking that he was going to die.

We told stories of our childhood. After Mike told his I told mine. I was fighting tears. I went over and leaned against the window. All I could think about was how I treated him. He's my only older brother and I have probably made him feel as if he was nothing but crap. For fifteen years all he ever did was love and protect us. He didn't deserve this.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around. I met eyes with Casey.

"It's not your fault Raph. He'll make it through this," he said in a concerned tone.

"I hope so Casey. You've no idea," I replied. I walked to the other side of the room.

Splinter told of how Leo had overcome his fear of heights. That shocked me. I guess even the greatest of leaders get scared. He never let it on though.

"Is he..." Mike dared to ask.

I thought he had until I heard two words that made my heart skip a beat.

"No fear."

We all cheered. Leo would be all right!

I vowed then and there that he would be treated better by me. It was a promise I plan to keep.
