"Hush Donatello." Splinter said softly as his son played with his tail. Eclips rested in Splinters lap quietly. Splinter had decided to give his sons a break from the two. Donnie continued to giggled and run around after Splinters tail.
"Splinter." Donnie yapped.
"Donatello please your sister is sleeping." Splinter warned and wrapped his tail around Donnie.
"Ah!" Donnie cried as Splinter dragged him to his lap. Eclips began to wake and whine.
"See now you have woken her." Splinter sighed and rocked Eclips. Donnie struggled to free himself from Splinters tail. Splinter smirked at Donnie and watched as his son continued to try to escape. "You will have to try harder my son." Splinter chuckled.
Eclips was now fully awake and had proceeded to climb up splinters robe. "No Eclips." Splinter grabbed her and set her on the floor. Eclips whimpered and looked at Splinter wide eyed.
"Mmmm" Donnie mumbled as Splinter finally let him go. Donnie quickly crawled over to Eclips. Eclips squealed as Donnie tackled her growling.
"Donatello!" Splinter shouted and lifted Donnie off Eclips. "No! Do not hurt your sister." Splinter scolded. Eclips had burst into tears and Donnie just growled. "Sit here." Splinter placed Donnie down beside him and picked up Eclips. "Shh. Its alright." Splinter said softly trying to calm her. "Come." He stood up and walked towards the living room. "Donatello stay." He ordered.
Donnie frowned and crossed his arms. "Sensei?" Leo came running up to Splinter. "Is everything ok? I held a scream." Leo asked.
"Donatello has been playing a little too rough, Here." Splinter handed Eclips to him. "Try calm her down, I must deal with Donatello." Splinter said.
"Hai Sensei." Leo nodded and bounced Eclips. "Want to see Ice-cream kitty." Leo asked Eclips as he walked to the kitchen.
Splinter walked back into the dojo and to Donnie. Donnie pouted as Splinter picked him up. "Donatello you know what you did was wrong." Splinter began. "I know you must be confuse as you used to have three brother who would tackle you often but you must understand, Eclips is too young." Splinter sat down by the tree and sat Donnie in his lab.
"Teen." Donnie said.
"Teen?" Splinter questioned.
"5 teen." Donnie said and pointed across the room. Splinter frowned and followed where Donnie was pointing. He put Donnie down and walked to the wall where a picture hang of his four sons. "5 teen." Donnie said and ran to Splinter.
Splinter looked at the photo and bend down to Donnie's level. "Do you know who they are?" Splinter asked showing him the photo.
Donnie pointed quickly to the purple masked turtle. "Donnie." He said. "5 teen!"
"You remember?" Splinter said quietly. "Tell me Donatello what do you remember?" Splinter asked.
Donnie shivered. "Shredder!" He growled. "Hurt family." Donnie frowned.
"Do you remember what happened to you?" Splinter asked not liking the fact Donnie remember the shredder.
Donnie nodded. "Clip spill red and green." Donnie said. "Make me small."
Splinter stared at Donnie as he begun to explain what happened, with every passing sentence Donnie became more and more detailed until he was talking as though he was 15 again.
"Donatello." Splinter said getting his son to stop speaking.
"Yeah?" Donnie looked at Splinter.
"Do you think you can fix Eclips and yourself?" Splinter asked.
Donnie frowned but nodded. "I know a cure but I can't do anything in this body." Donnie said.
"But you could tell Raphael and April?"
"APRIL!" Donnie blushed. "I don't want her to see me like this!" Donnie protested. Splinter grinned and picked Donnie up, making his son blush more. "Sensei I can walk!" Donnie whined.
"Your mind has returned to you yes but your emotions as a child will over power you." Splinter said as he walked to the living room.
Donnie frowned, defeated. "Raph's not allowed in my lab." Donnie crossed his arms. Splinter chuckled and kissed Donnie's forehead, knowing his son would quieten the more embarrassed he was. Donnie whimpered something but did exactly as Splinter guest as they entered the Lab.
"Raphael, April." Splinter greeted the two teens as they both sat around the lab. "How is work?"
"We're getting nowhere!" Raph sighed.
"Yeah all we know is one of the liquids was DNA extracted from a baby of some sort." April said.
"It was actually a test I was running on unfertilised Chicken eggs and mutagen." Donnie said.
April and Raph stared at him with their mouths wide. "D-Donnie?" Raph walked closer.
"Yes I can speak." Donnie growled. "Look I know how to make a cure… you just have to make it for me." Donnie frowned.
Raph smiled and grabbed Donnie from Splinter and ran to the kitchen where Leo, Mikey and Eclips were. "Guy!" Raph yelled catching their attention.
"No Raph." Donnie blushed and hid in Raph's arms.
"What?" Mikey asked.
"Check this out." Raph put Donnie on the table and sat down. "Come on Dee."
Donnie frowned and looked at Leo and Mikey. "No!" He yelled and shot into his shell.
"Nice job Raph." Leo sighed and gave Eclips to Mikey so he could pick u Donnie. "Its ok Bro, Raph's not gonna get ya." Leo smiled and stocked Donnie's shell.
"He's emotions are still in control." Splinter said as he walked in.
"What?" Mikey asked.
"Donatello's memories have returned but he is not yet comfortable with been trapped in a younger body." Splinter explained as he took Donnie from Leo.
"So he's like his old self just more emotional and smaller?" Leo asked. Splinter nodded and smiled as Donnie came out of his shell but quickly buried himself in Splinters arms.
"Aw come on Dee." Mikey smiled. "Your too cute too hide."
"That's not going to help Mikey." Raph sighed.
"Go away!" Donnie yelled.
"See." Raph said. "Come on Donnie just get over it, you want to make the cure or not!?"
"He can make the cure?" Leo asked.
"Yeah if he stops acting like a baby." Raph said harshly.
"I'm not!" Donnie yelled as he jumped out of Splinters arms and on the table. "It's not my fault!" Donnie's eyes were watering as he continued to yell at Raph. When Donnie finally stopped he fell back so he was sitting and he looked up at his three brother who were all smiling at him. "W-what?"
Leo smiled warmly and gently wiped the tears from Donnie's eyes with his thumbs. "Its ok. Just stay calm ok." Leo said.
Donnie sighed and nodded. "Can we please go make the cure?" Donnie asked tiredly and yawned.
"No my son… Your still in a young body, it needs rest." Splinter smiled as he picked Donnie up.
"But I just want to be 15 again." Donnie whined as Splinter walked out of the kitchen. "Why doesn't Eclips have to?"
"She had a nap." Splinter chuckled. "It's your turn."
"Fine, but do I have to sleep in the crib?" Donnie asked.
"Yes." Splinter said.
"Why? I can sleep in m-
"Enough Donatello." Splinter sighed. "Just rest." Splinter put Donnie down in the crib and smirked seeing his son blushing. "Have a nice rest."
Donnie sighed. "Ok."
