Raph slowly woke up and found himself on a cot in Donny's lab hooked to an IV pole. Donny was sleeping on the cot next to him.
Just then, Donny slowly woke up. He saw that his older brother was awake.
The two brothers stared at each other for a while. Then Raph pulled Donny into his arms and the two of them held each other for a while.
"What happened to you never wanting to see me again?" Donny inquired.
"I changed my mind," Raph admitted.
"Was it because Mikey beat you up?"
"No, I turned on the MP3 player and it played better than it had been."
"When you're recovered, want to hang out at Chloe's?"
"Sounds cool if she's cool with it."
Mikey was in the kitchen making pizza. Just then, Chloe entered the kitchen and sat down at the table.
"Need any help?" Chloe offered.
"I've got it but you can stay if you want," Mikey replied.
"Has Raph woken up yet?"
"Not sure since I haven't seen him since last night."
"How's Donny doing?"
"He hasn't left the lab since he came back."
"I can bring him some pizza if that's not a problem," Chloe offered.
"That would be awesome," Mikey said gratefully.
"Am I clear to leave the lab yet?" Raph asked Donny who had just finished examining him.
"Yes, but no heavy exercise for a couple weeks," Donny replied.
"Are you moving back home?"
"I'm hoping to."
"Sorry I threw you out."
"I forgive you. Just so you know, I never went in your room. Your MP3 Player was on the floor."
Raph nodded and left the lab. Just then, Chloe entered with some pizza and a cup of coffee and put in on the table.
"I thought I'd bring some coffee and pizza for you," Chloe said.
"Thanks but I'm not hungry," Donny said. "I'll accept the coffee, though."
"Did you want the pizza to stay?"
"Thanks but you can put it in the fridge. I might eat it later."
Chloe nodded in understanding and left the lab with the pizza. Just as she was leaving, Leo entered the lab.
"Donny, Sensei wants to see you in the meditation room," Leo said.
"I'll head right over there," Donny agreed.
"It's great to have you back."
"Same here."
Leo and Donny wrapped their arms around each other and squeezed tightly. Then they released each other and left the lab.
