Day sixteen

"Uncle Leo, why are you still home?" Shadow asked while doing her homework; Leo would usually go to work at this time.

"I am uh… Taking a few days off, to give my arm some rest." He said with a dejected sigh.

"What was that thing that Cody threw at it?" Shadow asked curiously.

"It was called a shuriken." Leonardo responded and pulled one out from under his robe; he may not have been a ninja anymore, he still carried several shuriken in case of emergency. "Ninja's throw them."

"Can you?" Shadow asked.

Leonardo pointed to the dartboard on the wall "You see that dartboard?" Shadow nodded, Leo diligently threw one of the shuriken at the board and one of it's point dug right in the tiny center.

"Wow!" Shadow cheered "Can you teach me how to do that?"

Leo suddenly eyed the necklace; the symbol… Kunoichi… Ancient one had said to give Shadow a chance… Should he, train her…?

"Shadow, would you like to be a ninja?" He asked.

Shadow blinked and nodded "I want to learn how to uphold honor, just like you Uncle Leo!"

"Shadow, I have no honor… Just, just trust me on that."

Shadow remembered the story and frowned "Can't you and your brothers make up though? You are still brothers….."

"El's addiction to danger, Doc's chivalry, and Mikes insanity cannot be resolves with an 'I'm sorry'." Leo snorted.

"Maybe you can put Mikey in the funny farm….?" Shadow suggested.

"Believe me, I've looked into it."

Day seventeen

Knock knock

Leo opened the door, and was surprised to have a rose shoved in his face; he was confused to see El was looking away while clenching the bright red flower, he imagined his face being pretty red behind the scarf too.

"The flower is nice; but if you want to go out, you're going to have to include a heart-shaped box of chocolates and wear a tie." Leo sarcastically cackled.

"Take da damn flower or I'll stab ya wit' da thorns…." El muttered, Leo laughed and took the rose and invited his brother inside of the apartment.

"What's with the rose anyways?" Leo asked.

"Y-Ya know I just uh…." El awkwardly stammered.

"Because you should know now I'm straight as an arrow and not into incest." Leo said and bust out laughing at the embarrassment clearly radiating off of his brother "Oh, lighten up bro; it was only a joke."

"I wanted ta thank ya," El stated "For, ya know…. Savin' me when da Rat buried a slug in my stomach…."

"Oh," Leo said "Raph, you do not need to thank me; we are brothers, I'll always be their for you guys."

"Even Mikey?" El asked curiously with a raised ridge.

"At a safe distance; yes. But even if you wanted to thank me, how did you escape Dr. Overbearer to get here?" Leo asked.

"I snuck out while he was training Renet; he's training her to be a ninja by the way, go figure." El said with a shrug "I wanted to give you booze or something, but then I remembered you're sobering up for a change. So on the way here, I plucked that from some old ladies garden; the senile old bitch chased me with a rake for about three blocks…" Something then struck him "You know Leo, this is probably the most I've heard you talk."

"I've noticed that I've been more talkative." Leo agreed.

"Where are the squirts?" El asked when he realized that there were the absence of two small child milling around Leo like he had candy taped onto his shell.

"At school; duh." Leo replied and rolled his eyes.

El grinned "You know Leo, I think I like you better when you aren't playing fearless leader…. You ain't so OCD… Ya kind of remind me of Mikey before he took a permanent stop in crazy town. But yea."

"Surely I am not that annoying." Leo said and crossed his arms and gave El an incriminating look.

"Nope… Just a sense of humor, you know."

Silence.

"Well, I'm gonna head back before Doc notices I'm gone and blows the sewers up… Later Leo."

"Later El." Leo said to his brother as he opened the door to leave.

"Oh and Leo," El turned back to him "you should really stop wearin' that reaper robe."

"Tsk tsk El; you give me one rose and your already trying to undress me?" Leo lectured sarcastically with a laugh.

"Oh shuddup…"

Day eighteen

"Guess who's back~" a voice sang and echoed in the Lair; Doc exited his room and entered the main room when he heard that; he was surprised to see his little brother Michaelangelo there.

"Hey Mikey," Doc greeted "You've been missing for a week, where have you been?"

"Narnia!" Mike replied; Doc rolled his eyes, wherever Mikey believed he was at….

"Did anyone else feel the air go cold?" El asked as he staggered into the main room; when he saw Mikey, he slowly backed away back into his bedroom without another word.

"I noticed Angel was not with you…" Doc noted.

"She's at her grandma's house, sleeping off the vacation." Mike shrugged.

"Hey Mikey!" Renet chirped as she came into the room as well; though she was very much aware of his unstable mind, she opted to act as if Mikey were completely normal…

"What brings you here to the lovely sewers anyways?" Doc asked.

"I came to ask; who got hurt in the arm, and who got hurt in the stomach? Did one of us get hit by a truck or something, because I'm still feeling the aches?"

"El was shot in the stomach, and Leo had a shuriken thrown at him." Doc replied; he noticed Mikey suddenly go rigid at the mention of Leonardo. "Something wrong?"

"I… Uh… I gotta go all of a sudden." Mike said and started on his way out, in a hurry, Doc tried to follow.

"Mike?... Mikey what's wrong?" Doc asked in concern and placed a hand on Mikey's shoulder.

Mike slapped his hand away "I uh… I'M LATE TO TURN MY THERMASTAT ON!" He ran out of the Lair.

"What the shell…..?" Doc wondered aloud; why the sudden freak-out?

"What's a thermostat?" Renet asked.

"…. Go to bed Renet." Doc told her.

"But it's only five o'clock in the afterno-!"

"GO TO BED!"

What can I say, I was in a mood for bad jokes...

Yeah, Mikey returns... I have so many crazy ideas for him to do...
