Thanks for the reviews. Merry (late) Christmas!

Mike and Leo ran straight for Raph's door while Master Splinter ran from the kitchen and Donnie from his lab. Leo opened the door and entered with everyone to find Raph curled up on his bed. Raph's eyes were wide, sweat covered his body, and he was biting his hand to keep from screaming again. "Was is it?" Leo asked as he and everyone else in the room, except for Raph, looked around for anything that could scare Raph. Raph looked at Leo and pointed, with the hand that he wasn't biting, to the wall.

"It is over there," Raph said as he removed his hand from his teeth and hid behind Donnie. He knew the Donnie wouldn't let anything bad happen to him. Leo walked over to the wall and found what freaked Raph out. He plucked it from the wall. Holding it by its legs, Leo took the spider and showed it to Raph.

"Is this it?" Leo asked as he looked at Raph. Raph squeaked and ducked behind Donnie.

"Ya've gotta be kiddin' me. I knew ya were 'fraid a bugs but a spida?" Mikey said as he relaxed. Donnie was comforting Raph as he tried to get as far away from the spider as possible.

"Spiders are not insects, Mike, they are arachnids. Calm down Raph. It is alright, we wont put it near you, right Mike?" Donnie said ads he saw that Mikey had taken the spider that was trying to escape.

"Uh…sure," Mikey said as he hid the spider behind his shell. Leo took the squirming spider away from Mikey.

"I'm going to get rid of," Leo said as he left the room and went into the kitchen. In a few seconds, the sound of the garbage disposal was all that was heard, along with a few crunches. Leo came back wiping his hands together. "All gone." Raph smiled as he hugged Leo.

"Thank you Leonardo-san," Raph said as he let go.

"It's okay."

"Raphael, would you like someone to stay in your room with you?" Master Splinter asked. Raph shook his head.

"No, it is alright. I would not want to disrupt anyone's normal sleep patterns," Raph said. "Goodnight everyone."

"Night Raph," everyone said, well Master Splinter said, "Sleep well Raphael". Raph turned to go in his room, Mikey called to him.

"If ya need anythin', don' hesitate to yell," Mikey said as he gave Raph a thumbs up. Raph smiled and did the same gesture. Raph closed his door and climbed into his bed. Fatigue was starting to take a toll on him yet he wanted to stay wake just in case if he saw something. In a matter of seconds, no matter how much he tried to stay awake, he fell asleep.

Outside of Raph's room

"Should we still watch him?" Mikey asked Master Splinter.

"No, it would be best if we follow his wish"

"But…"

"Let him rest, Michelangelo."

"Alright." With that, Mikey went to his room to sleep, as did Master Splinter, but Leo and Donnie were still awake and would be for a while.

"I don't like this," Leo said as he sat down near Donnie. "Sure Raph was a pain before, but I can't get use to a nice child-like Raph."

"There is nothing that we can do though."

"How long do you think he will be like this?"

"No telling how long, all we can do is try to help Raph remember."

"I never thought that I would miss the old Raph."

"Yeah, I guess that we all want him back."
