Slowly I open my eyes. Don't hear anything. I sit up and climb out of my hammock. I walk to the door. And open it. I see Raph sitting on the couch. Donnie sneaks up behind him with a spray bottle of glitter. And squirts it on his head. Raph stands up and the glitter falls down and covers his entire body.
"I'm gonna kill you!" and sparkly Raph runs after laughing Donnie.
Maybe nothing changed and it was a dream. I walk to Mikeys room. I stand outside his closed door and breath deep. Then I reach for the nob and I slowly open the door. His room is full of junk and the smell of Pizza. But his bed is empty. Clean and made. With his teddy bear set next to his pillow. I walk over and sit down on his bed. I pick up the teddy bear. I squeeze it as I try not to cry.
I stand up still holding the bear. I walk out and head for the dojo to talk to splinter. Maybe for the first real conversation. I go to the sliding papper doors and I can see candles lit. in a large circle. He's probably meditating. But I don't care I need to talk to him. I slid open the door and close my eyes as I step in
"I know you're probably bissey and that you don't want to see me but I want to talk to you." I take a few steps in with my eyes closed and no one says anything. I look at the ground and slowly open my eyes. I see Leo and master splinter's feet. I look up a little to see Mikey lying inside the circle of candles. Both Leo and Sensay face me with a half smile on there faces. Not sure how I will react.
"The ritual is almost over and then he just has to recover for a while." Leo says softly. I drop the bear and my hands go up to my mouth and cover it and tears stream down my face.
"Are you ok?" he asks as he places a hand on my shoulder.
I swing my arms around his neck and squeeze. I bring my Lips close to his ears and say between sobs
"Yes. yes i am more than ok." I let go a moment later when I hear splinter blowing out the candles. I watch him blow out the last one as all the others walk in. Casey, April, Donnie and even sparkly Raph. I look at Leo and he nods.
I rush over to Mikey and fall to my knees. I place my hand on his face. His eyes flutter open and he says
"Frances?"
"Yes?" I say through more sobs
"I'm sorry. Sorry I yelled at you." Mikey slowly sits up "sorry." he looks around. "Why is Raph covered in glitter?"
"Oh you…" I place my hands on his face and pull him into a kiss.
