-Raph in Case's body POV-
"Ouch!" Man, I felt like Donnie was doing that on purpose. It was the third time I flinched from the burn on my shoulder. Humans are weak.
"Stop moving, Raph. If you and Casey hadn't been messing around, you two wouldn't be in this predicament. Would you?" Donnie and I were the same height now, so I was looking straight into his face instead of having to tilt my head to look at him. He was right. He always was, which aggrivated me to bits. "You're going to have to put this burn ointment on for the next couple days and change the bandages daily. Alright?" I glanced over at his desk where the darn machine that did this was laying. It looked so small and insignificant. It was small and white with sharp angles here and there. Some green wires were threaded through it. A large oval piece looked like Mikey had grilled it way past well done. "-ph. Raph? Raph!" I was yanked from my thoughts. I looked over at Donnie, his brown eyes held concern.
"What?" Donnie groaned.
"New bandages. Daily with a layer of burn ointment. Got it." I nodded. I glanced back at the device, Donnie followed my gaze. "I haven't checked it, yet. I needed to take care of the burn first." Donnie and I heard a commotion coming from the living room. I could hear my voice yelling at Mikey. "Well, the next couple weeks are going to be interesting." Donnie chuckled, I punched him in the arm. I stood up to go into the living room, but my head started spinning with the quick movement and I almost fell. Donnie caught me and helped me to stand. Wow, humans are really pathetic or just this body is weak. Donnie helped me into the living room to the couch. "I think you might have a slight concussion. So, your going to need to take it easy for a while." Darn it, Donnie! He had to wait to tell me that in front of everybody. There was no getting out of taking it easy now. I glanced over to see Splinter and Leo talking in the doorway to the sparring room. April was watching from the couch as Casey (in my body) got his butt beat by Mikey. Mikey, of course, was enjoying getting a couple swings in.
"I knew you were pathetic Jones. Just never realized just how pathetic." I laughed which sent a rush of pain to my head. Ok, so no laughing got it. Splinter and Leo rejoined the rest of the group.
Splinter just stared at me. "My son, what were you two thinking?" His ear twitched in irritation as everyone heard my voice call uncle. "You two come sit. Now." He said without raising his voice which made it even worse.
"Blame Jones. I only tagged along to make sure he didn'tblow himself up, but it seems that was the wrong choice. Should of let him blow up."
""Hey! Don't blame me if you had read those notes a little sooner we wouldn't be in this situation." Casey leaned on the tv. Splinter rubbed his temples.
"Ok, Casey, you need to call home and let your family you won't be coming home. At least not until Rapheal is better." Casey froze, as he glanced around I could tell somethinng was off. I just could't place my finger on what that could be.
"Yeah, sure." Casey walked out and came back not but 5 minutes later. "It's taken care of my dad thinks I'm at a friends." I watched Casey walk into the kitchen, everyone had gone back to what their routine had been. I sat on the couch andglanced over at Casey's bag. His phone sat on top, he hadn't called home... So? Why did he say he did?
-A COUPLE DAYS LATER-
-Raph in Casey's body POV-
I rolled off the couch feeling alot better today. Casey had to take my bed because it was set up for my shell. I went to the bathroom to get prepared for the day at hand. It was going to be the biggest battle I have ever faced... School. I stopped infront of the mirror looking at the scar on my shoulder. I kindof think I am getting used to this body, but it won't ever be completely the same. My shoulder was nearly healed and all that was left to show I had gotten burned was a pink scar. I finishedgetting ready as I heard April call my name. I left the bathroom and saw everyone standing around. The past couple days Casey has been giving me the laydown of his classes, his schedule, and the favorite pass time...Hockey. All the information I would need to get me through all of his life.
"You ready for your first day of school?" April smiled at me as I noticed she had three bags at her feet. One was her school bag, the other was Casey's school bag and the last was his hockey gear. She was wearing her traditional yellow t-shirt with a white 5, and shorts.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I noticed Casey was acting strange... Well, stranger than normal. "Case, is everything alright?" Casey glanced up at me and looked back down. That was everyone's cue to leave. As Mikey was the last to leave, I walked over to Casey. "Dude, seriously. What's wrong?"
Casey looked back at me, it may have only been my imagination, but I could swear I saw fear in his eyes. "Just be careful. If you need any help. Call it." He was completely serious now.
"What are y-?" I got cut off as April came in.
"Hey, we got to get going if we are going to get to school on time." April grabbed the hockey bag and tossed it to me, I caught it and swung it on my back. The strap laid across my chest. I picked up Casey's bookbag, it had skulls and flaing hockey pucks on it. Typical. April grabbed her bag, "Bye guys, wish him luck." She made a slight giggle. Today wa going to suck.
As April and I made our way out of the sewer, I could feel she was wanting to talk. I just focused forward this was just too wierd right now to talk about ay of this. I just wanted the day to be over. As we came to the front of the school, it seemed so massive even bigger than TCRI ever was. April nudged me along, she walked to the front door, pulled it open, turnned to me with a big smile, "Don't worry the first day is always the hardest." Oh gee thaks that is so inspiring.
