Now the turtles are 6 years old and Thanny is 4.
Kiss will make it better.
"Master Splinter what is wrong with brothers?" Thanny pulled his sleeve and looked into his eyes with her big blue ones filled with worry.
"They are ill, my daughter" he patted her head.
"What is that?"
"It's something you can get when you go out to play in the rain when your father has specifically told you not to!"
"Sorry sensei" they said all together with nasal voices.
"You talk funny" she said and bent over the couch where her brothers laid down under one large blanket.
"Watch out Theng Sjen, if you get too close you might get sick as well" she jumped backwards.
"I'm going to make some more herbal tea, you stay here and watch your brothers but don't get too close"
"Yes sensei" she smiled.
"Thanks a lot Raph" Mikey said and blew his nose.
"Me? What did I do?"
"It was your idea"
"No it wasn't"
"Yes it was"
"Hey, don't fight, you're sick" she pointed out.
"Yeah listen to Thanny Raph"
"You too Mikey, be nice or I'll tell Splinter"
"Why you little arrg." Raph said he was about to get up and chase after his little sister, but a serious head ache stopped him in his tracks.
"O poor Raph" she said and rubbed his head like she often did before, but this time something felt differently.
"Master Splinter, something's wrong with Raphie!" she cried out.
"Not so loud little sis, some of us are trying to sleep" Donny said and hid under the covers.
"What is the matter Theng Sjen?"
"His head is really hot" she said.
"Probably because of all the hot air" Mikey mumbled.
"Michelangelo! Behave or no tv"
"Yes sensei"
"My daughter you are correct this is called a fever"
"Fever?"
"Yes when you're sick your body temperature rises and that's called a fever"
"So when you are sick you have a fever"
"Sometimes, there are some kind of sicknesses where you don't have a fever"
"Oh … so what kind of fever do they have"
"the have a cold my child"
"no, but they aren't cold, they are warm, you feel" again she placed her hand on Raph's forehead.
"oh that feels so good, can you not move for like ever?" Raph said, Thanny always had cold hands and cold feet.
"because we've been out in the cold when we got it now please be a little quiet so we can sleep" Leo said also hid himself under the covers.
"I'm sorry Leonardo, come on Theng Sjen we'll let your brothers sleep and go into the dojo and practise your balance"
"okay sensei, why don't I just kiss and it will be all better?" she asked and looked up again with her big blue innocent puppy eyes.
"maybe but, then you'll get sick yourself"
"oh okay, night guys" she waved and went with Splinter in the dojo.
Master Splinter had placed 10 short bamboo sticks in a row on the floor of the dojo.
"come on Theng Sjen, can you walk over the bamboo sticks like last time?"
"yes sensei" she walked over them easily.
" good job my daughter, now can you stand still on them for 10 seconds?"
she walked over them again but this time she stood still in the middle and counted to ten.
" nine, ten!" she said.
"good now can you do it again standing on one foot?"
"I'll try" she said.
she put her weight on one leg and lifted her foot from the bamboo stick. She wiggled a couple of times and fell over. She quickly got up and tried again, and again and again and after the fourth time she was able to stand still for ten seconds on one foot as well.
"I did it!"
"fantastic Theng Sjen, now you may use both your feet again" she did as she was told "I will throw a ball at you and you have to try and catch it and throw it back at me understand?"
"yes" she said happily she loved games. He first threw it slowly and right at her they did it a couple of times at the end of the lesson he threw the ball to the end of the bamboo sticks and she had to ran in order to catch it, she ran over three bamboo sticks but after that she lost her balance and fell again.
"let's stop for today, you did great Thanny I'm very proud of you"
"thank you master Splinter" she said and bowed like she had learned from Leo, of course not perfectly but that didn't matter to him. She got up again and smiled widely at him.
"come on let's see how your brothers are doing"
At night, the turtles were sleeping on the couch, around the couch was a collection of tissues. Master Splinter was sleeping in his bedroom, he was really tired of taking care of 4 sick children at once and not to forget to keep an eye on his youngest as well.
Quietly the bedroom door of Thanny shoved open and a small dark figure slipped outside and went into the living room. it was Thanny of course she couldn't stop thinking about all the times they've gotten auwies and when someone kisses your auwie it gets better.
She dragged her blankie and teddy behind her. She looked over the couch and saw her brothers sleeping peacefully on the couch, Raph actually had snuggled closer to Donny, it was so cute. She wanted to snuggle besides them like they often did when they've fallen asleep in front of the tv again.
But she remembered Splinters warning don't come to close or you'll get sick as well. but she wanted them to get better soon, it was really boring playing by herself.
No Mikey to pull pranks with,no Leo to help her out with her punching and kicking or no Donny to explain all kind of things to her and no Raph to play with.
She kissed their foreheads, she stopped when it was Raph's turn because he didn't like to be hugged or kissed when the others could see it, but she decided that she missed him as well and kissed him too.
"night guys" she said and fell asleep in the other couch.
"night sis" they whispered back.
