This chapter is much shorter than the last two, but that's alright. We'll be checking back in on Raph next chapter.
If it isn't obvious yet, this is any tmnt version except for Rise of the TMNT because they're babies and I could never do this to any of them.
That being said, I think their ages are more like
Leo- 18, almost 19
Raph-18
Don- 18
Mikey- 17, almost 18
"Hey, Leo! Call Raphie-boy, see if he wants in on this pizza order!"
Leo emerged from the dojo. "Why can't you do it? Pretty sure he's not in the mood to answer my calls, especially if I'm telling him to come home."
Mikey rolled his eyes from the table and gestured to the paper in front of him. "Can't you see I'm busy? I gotta get the wishes of my dear, dear brother's pizza fantasies written down! No time for anything else! Besides, he's kinda pissed at me, too."
Leo raised an eye-ridge as he approached. "Oh?"
Mikey chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah... I might have touched his motorcycle..."
Leo leaned his back against the counter and crossed his arms. "Do tell, O brother of mine."
Mikey smiled sheepishly. "Okay, so I did more than touch it... but don't get mad! I already got chewed out by Raph and Don."
"And I'll do it again if I need to." Donnie chose that moment to walk into the room. "If neither of you think he'll answer your calls, I'll do it. No promises he'll pick up, but at least I haven't done anything to set him off lately."
Mikey stood up from the table and hugged Donnie, who returned it less enthusiastically with a pat on the shell.
"Thanks, Don. I don't know where we'd be without you."
"Probably living without central air." Donnie pulled away and patted his brother on the head. "I'll go make that call."
"Right!" Mikey spun on Leo. "Soooo, what shall I do to grant your pizza wishes?"
Leo smiled and shook his head. "Surprise me." He pushed off the counter and made his way back to the dojo to meditate.
Mikey smiled to himself. Don would want a veggie, Leo would want pepperoni or cheese, and Raph would want anything with meat on it. So stereotypical. He jotted down the list and jumped up to order the pizzas in the next room over.
All he had to do now was count on Don to get a hold of the red one.
Donnie walked back into the kitchen looking confused. He sighed when he saw the room was empty. Really, keeping track of his brothers was like herding cats.
Luckily for him, like cats, his brothers also had familiar hangouts.
Leo was definitely in the dojo, Mikey must be on pizza duty, and Raph... well.
That was the problem.
"Leo!"
His eldest brother's face poked out of the dojo. "What?"
Donnie held up his phone. "Raph isn't answering. Either he's being stubborn, he's lost his cell, or..."
Leo nodded. "Or he's in serious trouble."
Donnie smiled grimly. "Exactly."
Leo sighed softly. "I was worried about our fight last night, but he should be coming home soon... Can you track him? Y'know, with his cell?"
Don nodded. "Yep. I'll get right on it. Who knows where he's at?"
Leo poked back into the dojo as Don retreated back to his computer.
...
Don's computer beeped for the fourth time in ten minutes. He glared at the device and let out a frustrated growl. For some reason, the signal he was getting from Raph's phone was leading him to a different place every time he checked it.
The first time, it sent him to somewhere in Idaho, which made him check the GPS again to make sure.
Sure enough, he found out it was faulty when the signal sent him to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
He'd programmed their phones to have a very wide range in terms of a GPS signal, but there was no way Raph was able to make it from New York, to Idaho, to the Atlantic Ocean of all places, in a few seconds.
Donnie leaned back in his chair and rubbed his head in frustration.
An idea struck him. If he could make the computer narrow down Raph's coordinates to just New York City, he would have a better chance at finding Raph.
Typing furiously, the map zeroed in on their home town.
Donnie made a mental note to fix this certain malfunction later.
He just hoped it wouldn't interfere with finding their brother.
