Donny carefully lifted the grate, climbed up, replaced the grate, and found himself in the Calls' steam room. Grandma and Grandpa Calls were making out and didn't notice that Donny was leaving the steam room.
Chloe was sitting in the hot tub wearing a rainbow one piece swimsuit. Donny made his way over, put his stuff on the bench, and joined Chloe in the hot tub.
"I appreciate you and your grandparents letting me stay here," Donny said gratefully.
"No problem and we even set up a bedroom for you," Chloe said.
Just then, Grandma and Grandpa Calls were walking towards the pool holding hands. Then they released each other's hands, jumped into the pool, and started swimming laps.
Back at the lair, Leo and Raph were in the dojo. They were sparring against each other.
"Mikey shouldn't have attacked me," Raph protested. "He has no right to be upset."
"You threw out his best friend!" Leo said angrily. "He has every right to be upset!"
"What is going on here?" a voice demanded. Leo and Raph turned and saw Splinter enter the dojo with Mikey behind him.
"Sensei, we weren't expecting you back until later," Leo admitted as he bowed.
"Miss O'Neil and Mr. Jones decided to go on a date," Splinter explained.
"I threw Donny out because I caught him with my MP3 player which I didn't give him permission to touch," Raph admitted.
"Donny was trying to help you by fixing your MP3 player!" Mikey protested.
"I would never throw out any of my sons," Splinter said firmly. "Raphael, you are grounded until further notice."
"You can't ground me," Raph protested. "I'm seventeen."
"Go to your room now," Splinter commanded and then Raph stormed out of the dojo.
Raph stormed into his room and slammed the door. Then he stomped over to his hammock and sat down in it.
A few moments later, he grabbed his MP3 player and turned it on. Rock music came pouring out of the speakers.
"What have I done?" Raph wondered out loud. "I kicked Donny out when he was only trying to help me. I'd better call him and apologize."
In the pool area at the Calls' house, Donny's shell cell rang. Donny saw that Raph was calling, rejected the call, and blocked the number.
"Was that Raph calling?" Chloe inquired.
"I can't talk to him right now," Donny admitted.
"Would you like to play pool volleyball?"
"I'll even help you set the equipment up."
Chloe and Donny got out of the hot tub. Then they headed for the pool supply closet.
Raph was sitting on his hammock trying to call Donny each time to find out that his number was blocked. Just then, the door opened and Mikey entered the room.
"Don't you knock?" Raph asked with annoyance.
"Not really," Mikey admitted with a grin.
"What do you want?"
"I want to say sorry for attacking you."
"Did Splinter ground you, too?"
"No, but he and I, along with Leo, talked and understood why I did that."
"Have you tried calling Donny?"
"Not yet."
"I keep trying but my shell cell keeps saying that my number is blocked," Raph admitted.
"I can't imagine why," Mikey admitted and then left the room.
Back at the Calls' House, Donny, Chloe, Grandma and Grandpa Calls were in the dining room having dinner. They were eating black bean taco pizza and drinking cola.
"Thanks for having me stay here," Donny said gratefully.
"No problem," Grandma Calls said.
"We're happy to have you here," Grandpa Calls said.
"That I agree with," Chloe said with a smile.
Later, Chloe showed Donny to the room that was set up for him. The two of them entered the room and sat down on the bed.
"I appreciate you doing this," Donny said gratefully.
"Did you want to talk?" Chloe asked.
"Right now I could use some sleep."
"My grandparents and I are here if you need anything."
Chloe and Donny wrapped their arms around each other and then pulled away. After Chloe left the room, Donny got into the bed and fell asleep as soon as his head landed on the pillow.
