A/N: So...uh...I really have nothing to say...There's a subtle 80s reference in here.

To 14rosie14: Yep! ...I never noticed that. XD

Disclaimer: No, but my sister's doing a report on turtles!

Donnie liked it when things were predictable.

Sure, sometimes he would do some sort of experiment that he didn't know the result of, but he often was able to make educated guesses and he planned on being surprised most of the time.

He tried to find patterns with his family, but they would change as soon as Don figured them out.

That was part of why he tended to stay in his lab most of the time, or would reread a book while out in the living room. Some sort of stability...

"Don-Don!"

Aaaaaaaand here came his most unpredictable of his brothers: Mikey.

"What, Mikey? I'm busy here." After his snap, the older turtle looked at his brother and tried to remember what emotion went with that expression. After recognizing it as upset, he realized how badly he snapped. "Sorry, uh, let me try again: How can I help you?" That better not have come out too sarcastic...

"I-I was wondering if...uh...if you wanted to come join us for movie night..."

Right, it was Friday night. Every week, some family channel would play some sort of cheesy feel-good movie, and the mutant family had made it a bit of a custom to watch it every week.

How could he forget that?

"Oh, right. I'll be out in a minute.

"Okie dokes!" the smaller exclaimed, then ran towards the living room to get the others.

The genius of the family rolled his eyes at Mikey's enthusiasm, then looked around his desk for his current novel.

Once he found it (Three Musketeers), he quickly rushed out of the lab to claim his seat.

There were some exceptions to his little rules, but one he never enjoyed letting break was he got the farthest right seat on the couch. He was able to put his book on the armrest, and he often felt more secure tucked in the corner.

He sometimes feared the day they would be allowed on the surface because there was no way things wouldn't change.

A/N: For some turtle species, the females are larger than males...And since Raphie's a bit...bulkier than his bros...Why haven't I found anything with this? I've found three for Don, several for Mikey, and even one for Leo...

And this thing still needs a cover. Anyone able to draw?
