"Hey Don! Where you going?" Mikey's over-excited voice echoed through the lair.

Sighing Donnie rubbed his aching head, pulling a Raph, his only reply was "Topside"

"oh...um...can I come with you?" Normally Donnie would of declined, but he hadn't spent much time with his brother other that the occasional 'but I didn't mean to break it!'

Nodding humbly the two continued, Mikey's childish voice filling the tunnel with his obvious glee to be at his brothers side.

The picture left on Don's desk, forgotten.

Lilly's POV

Flashback

Day was hunched over a microscope, it made me wince just to see the awkward position her back was in.

"Hey Day, hows the blood sample research going." Day jumped at the sound of my voice, apparently she hadn't noticed her growing audience.

"Oh, Lilly, look at this" her voice was softer than usual and her skin had turned a chalky white, as she pushed the microscope my way. Peering in curiously I watched what looked like a bunch of red blobs move around, as I watched, Day changed the slide, this time the red blobs were filled with a white-ish substance.

I grinned at her "ok...so what dose this mean"

She glanced around the room and lowered her voice to almost a whisper, her eyes were filled with something I hadn't seen for a long time, fear. "Lilly, R-"

Whatever she was going to say was cut off as Ally entered the room carrying what looked like a pail of liquid. Smiling evilly she sneaked towered Rave's room, She set the pail of liquid on top of Rave's door. Ducking behind the door she waited a minute before screaming at the top of her lungs, which was pretty loud considering she was 20 tiger. There was a loud thump as Rave fell out of bed and rushed for her door, the poor door was almost torn off its hinges as it opened too slowly for Raves taste. She burst into the room, The pail splattered water all over her cloths, and was immeditly jumped from behind by Ally who was grinning like the Cheshire cat. Instinctively Rave crouched and spun, tackling Ally. I quickly joined the fray, tumbling and rolling, somehow me and Ally ended up pining an extremely aggravated Rave pined to the floor, growling.

Day usually joined the roughhousing, but this time she sat out, a sad expression masking

unreadable eyes. I though maybe she was sick, no, I wished she was sick because the reality was much worse.

Later that night I was interrupted from my sleep by a careful knock on my door. Day was standing at the door, looking slightly uncomfortable.

"Hey Day, what's going on?" I asked softly, knowing imeditly that she was upset.

"uh, well...the blood tests...I...um...maybe...its..." she stumbled.

"Start from the beginning" I advised, patting the spot next to me.

She sat down carefully "The blood tests...I checked them over and over...each test had the same result..." I nodded slowly, and gestured for her to go on. She took a deep breath "Ravesnotoursister"

I grinned at her "Okay say that one more time, in English"

She looked at, her eyes wide with something I didn't recognize. And said slower than necicary "Lilly...Rave isn't our sister"

If it had been Ally I would of laughed and brushed it off as a joke, but Day didn't joke, at least not about something this serious. "Just...Don't tell her". I faked a smile, acting like nothing was wrong. Day immeditly relaxed and managed a small smile.

"Okay 'fearless leader', I know you've got something up your sleeve" She laughed, putting all her fath in me without a doubt, sure that I would fix things. Day gave a short choppy wave before heading off to get some much needed sleep, I followed her out to go talk to our master.

Right now this 'fearless leader'...was scared shitless.

I bolted up in bed, covered in sweat, and sunk my head into my hands, shaking. A nightmare, no, a memory.

Rave's POV

I knew trying to avoid Lilly was hopless, but a girl can try. I snuck through the kitchen, dojo, and past Lilly's room. When I got to my door the real problem arose. Lilly leaned agenist my door frowning.

Without looking up, she whispered softly "Rave...we need to talk"

Day's POV

She was awoken by someone yelling in Lilly's room.

"And I think you should stop spying on me"

"Rave listen me, he's dangerous"

"He would have to be to survive this long!"

"Why are you defending him?!"

"He's my friend!"

"You don't know anything about him!"

"So what!"

Rave and Lilly were fighting, again. Glaring at my clock, witch lit up my room with its annoying glowing numbers (2:05am). I attempted to cover my ears when the unmistakable clang of metal rang off the walls, signifying a bloody fight.
