A/N: New chapter! Sorry to this (because I suck at updating anyway) but updates will probably slower because I'm in stage crew at school and the musical started so I'm building and painting when I'm not in school or eating or sleeping or doing HW. I'm going to try to update once a week, but no promises.
On to the story.
I DON'T OWN THE TIRTLES!
After Master Splinter left, Mikey seemed to relax more and more. He was talking more, though he was still mostly silent. He also was spending more time away from Don, weather in his room or with one of his other brothers. Needless to say, his others where delighted. Their baby brother was finally coming back to them, slowly but surely.
Don seemed like he was perfectly back to normal. The usual quiet turtle, was even quieter. He was more protective of Mikey, and didn't like to let him out of his sight. But he knew that Mikey slowly becoming more independent was an important part of Mikey's recovery process.
It was about a week after Master Splinter left that Mikey had another improvement.
The four turtles where sitting in front of the TVs. Don was fiddling with some contraption or another. Raph was watching a wrestling match on TV. Leo was reading. And Mikey was just laying on the coach, watching them all.
All of them where distracted, so it took them a while to realize it. A familiar sound was sounding through the lair. The clicking of buttons and quiet music could barley be heard over the grunts from the wresting match. The three oldest turned to look, not quiet believing what they where hearing.
Mikey was playing on his gamedude.
In all the time he had been home, Mikey had never touched a video game. He had changed so much, becoming like a different person. He had never played a video game, or seemed like he wanted too. Now, here he was, playing on his gamedude with a small smile on his face, acting like nothing happened.
"Mikey," Don said in an awe filled voice. Mikey looked up, tilting his head to the side in a questioning manor.
"You're playing video games," Raph pointed out.
A smile spread across Mikey's face, a smile that his brothers hadn't seen in over a month. The one that seemed to take up his whole face.
"That's great, Mike!" Leo exclaimed.
"I missed them," Mikey spoke.
His brothers couldn't help be happy, knowing things where finally getting back to normal.
There you go. Another short chapter. Remember, I'll try to add anything anyone wants. Review!
