A/N New Ch….. Enjoy
Life with Turtles Ch 9
Donatello woke up and stretched. He had one of his rare sleeps, in his actual bed and was feeling pretty good. He walked into the kitchen to see Mikey making pancakes and Leo drinking tea
"Good morning Donnie"
"Morning Leo"
"The zombie lives! Ready for pancakes?"
"Yeah"
Michelangelo eyed his immediate older sibling while filling his plate with steaming pancakes
"Sleep well? You actually look awake"
"Yes actually I did sleep well."
"Anyone want to wake Raph up?"
"He probably didn't sleep last night because in a "trust exercise" he had to let Mikey take care of Spike for a whole day"
"Hey! I promised I'ld be extra careful!"
"Were you?"
"… Yes….."
Michelangelo figured it would be a good idea for Raph to see Spike first thing in the morning so he ran to his room to get him. He found Spike on his nightstand all his limbs and head sucked into his shell
"C'mon Spike! Time to wake up!"
The non-mutant turtle remained tucked into his shell
"Spike…?"
Mikey began to panic
But I took care of him EXACTLY the way Raph told me! What's wrong with him?!
Mikey picked up the quiet and hiding turtle and took him to his purple masked brother
"Donnie! Help!"
"What's wrong Mikey?"
"he was fine last night and now he's all hiding in his shell! Is he sick? Is he… ?"
Leonardo felt sorry for his brother, he sounded so scared of what might be wrong with his hot headed brother's pet
"calm down Mikey, I'm sure Raph will understand
Mikey took a deep breath and imagined how the scene would go down.
'Hey Raph?'
'Yeah Mikey?'
'What would you say if, oh I don't know…. Something happened to Spike'
'I'ld say you're the worst brother ever and I'll never forgive you for whatever you did to Spike!'
'I'm sorry Raph!'
'I don't care! Spike's dead and it's all YOUR fault!'
'No! I didn't mean it!'
"No! No! Raph's gonna hate me! Forever!
"No he won't Mikey…"
"…."
"I promise he won't yell at you"
After a moment of thinking Mikey nodded
"you're right Leo, Raph won't yell at me. Because he's going to kill me! I don't wanna die dude! So much to live for! All the pizza I still haven't eaten!"
"Ok Mikey I think your over reacting a little"
"Donnie! This is the guy that bent me like a pretzel just for hitting him with a water balloon! I just killed his pet! His little buddy! It's over for me! Just burry me somewhere beautiful , ok? Like at the sewage plant…."
"Well Mikey I'll see if maybe Spike is just sleeping or something"
"That's what everyone in denial says…"
Donatello picked up the turtle and walked into his lab
Mikey nearly had a heart attack when he heard Raph's bedroom door open
"H-hey Raph"
"Hi Mikey. Where's Spike? It's been a day"
"He's a…. in Donnie's lab…."
"Why…?"
"Be-because he's dead! I don't know why or how! I took care of him just like you said and he was like that this morning and I-"
"Mikey…"
"I'm so sorry Raph!"
"Mikey-"
"I promised and I let you down!"
"Mikey!"
"Gah!"
Micelangelo ran out of the room with Raphael hot on his heels then running by the dojo where Leo was probably meditating
"Leo! Help!"
Mikey failed to see his own skateboard lying out and he slid across the living room
"AAH!"
Finally crashing full force into the metal pole that held up the practice dummy he felt dizzy, and very wobbly, and everything was getting blurry
"Mikey… you…. Ok?"
What? Why is Raph talking so slowly?
He felt someone shifting him and then sitting him up
Ow…
He must have closed his eyes for what felt like seconds but must have been longer because he opened his eyes and found himself on the couch with a blanket over him, and his head resting in Raph's lap.
"Raph? What's going aah ah ah…."
Michelangelo winced as his older brother put an ice pack on his head and applied pressure
"relax Mikey, you have a bump on your head"
"ow, it hurts."
"Ah.. stop your whining"
"Raph! Spike! What-?"
Raph put his hand over Mikey's mouth before he could start apologizing or yell for help
"Calm down Mikey, Spike's fine"
"He's not- wait, he's ok?"
"Yeah he was just punking you"
"He was what?"
"Spike will do that a lot, but he was just sleeping. See?"
Raph picked up Spike and held him next to Mikey's face. Spike nuzzled Mikey's cheek as if saying 'Sorry for scaring you'
"Then…. Then why where you chasing me?"
"Why were you running?"
"Because I thought be mad…"
"Well I wasn't, but you gave me a shell of a scare when you hit that pole head first"
"Yeah, don't do that… it really hurts dude"
Chuckling Raph turned the TV on and put more ice on Mikey's head. Raph looked down to see Mikey dozing off with Spike sitting on his plastron
