Raphael drew in a sharp breath as he opened the door to Donatello's lab. Donnie was nowhere to be seen. Raph was about to turn back around when he heard Donnie shout. 'You stupid piece of scrap metal," he yelled. There was a loud thump. "Ow," he shouted. Raph chuckled and walked into the garage part of his lab. There Donnie was, lying underneath the Shellraiser. He crawled out from underneath and took off his goggles. His black-eye reminded Raphael what he was doing there in the first place.
Donnie looked up at Raph. "Oh, hey," he said dolefully. "Listen Don, I-I'm sorry. You know about the thing earlier," Raph said. Donatello smiled and said "What was that I didn't hear you." "You know what I said," Raphael shouted. "Alright, alright, I heard you. And hey, it's okay. Bad dream?" Raph nodded. "Yeah, have those all the time. Well you better be off. I'd rather not get mad around you because of a stupid machine," Donnie said, "because I don't need you pummeling me because I yelled at you." "Alright, just don't hurt yourself," Raph said. "Can't promise anything." Raphael smirked as he left the lab.
Now to apologize to Michelangelo. Mikey was still in the kitchen except now he was doing the dishes. He finally cleaned off the milk on his face and was wiping the table. "Hey Raphie," Mikey said. "First of all, my name's not Raphie. Second of all, I'm sorry,' Raphael said. Mikey looked up and spread out his arms. "Mikey you better not—" "Does someone need a hug?" "Mikey, no," Raph said while trying to push Mikey away. "Don't fight it," Mikey whispered as he hugged Raph. Raph rolled his eyes and said "Okay, get off me before I have to apologize for something else." He looked over Mikey and saw Leo and Cori. They both had smug looks on their faces.
Raph felt himself blush and pushed Mikey away. "Aww isn't that adorable," Cori said in a voice you talk to puppies with."Hey Raph, can I see you for a sec," Leonardo asked. They went into the living room. Raphael didn't dare to sit down; he was already unsettled because he knew where this conversation was going. "Hey, what was that this morning," Leo asked. Raph rubbed the back of his neck and said "Well, I just had a bad dream…" Leo looked at him. He wasn't convinced. "And maybe you uh, died in it," Raph said, his voice getting quieter with each word. "It was just a bad dream I swear," Raph said. Leo let out a breath of relief. He looked over to Mikey and Cori. They were laughing about something. "It seems like we all have bad dreams these days," Leo said at last.
His gaze lingered on Mikey the most. Raphael noticed and said "Did something happen?" "No, it's just… sometimes I'm scared for our lives. And it seems like I'm not the only one." Leo didn't say anything else. Raphael wanted to ask more questions but Cori interrupted his thoughts when she grabbed his arm. "Hey, c'mon, we're going biking," she said. "Isn't it cold to go biking in October," Raphael asked. "Not if you have a jacket," she replied. "Well, isn't it daytime. I can't go out now," he said looking for an excuse. "When have you ever turned down an excuse to go up top? Besides we're going to go somewhere where nobody hangs out, that's all," Cori said, "And don't say that you don't know how to ride a bike. You can bring your skateboard if you want."
"Fine," groaned Raphael. Cori smiled and ran to get her coat. Raph turned back to Leo. He grinned. "Have fun, love bird," he said. Raph pushed him and said "Oh, shut up." Raph grabbed a coat and began to walk through the sewers with Cori. She looked at his coat with a curious gaze. "What, turtles get cold too." She shook her head teasingly and said "I never said anything."
