Hello, again! I know my updates have been taking longer than usual to present to you all. My Mom says I'm spending too much time on writing these things, so I have to take long breaks. It's not that I don't hate you, I love you all, but I just wanted to put that out there. This is going to be about poor poisoned and confused Raph- very funny, I mind you- and Donnie trying to fix him up. Thanks for your patience and read on!

Raph didn't know what the shell was going on. All he remembered was that he was bitten by Fishface and probably poisoned.

He felt kind of woozy, and unbalanced. Haha! Woozy. That's a funny word.

Then Raph just started laughing hysterically. Who would have thought that the context of the word, woozy, would cause someone, especially Raph, to laugh so hard?

As Raph was in his fit of laughter, Donnie just stared at him with a contorted look on his face.

And, unfortunately, Donnie had to start to carry Raph in his arms all the way back home, because he couldn't even manage to walk without tripping over every bump along the way. He kept falling flat on his face, and Donnie had to keep picking him back up.

As heavy as Raph was, Donnie still had to carry him because he probably couldn't stand on his feet at this point, even if he tried.

On the other hand, he had no idea what his older brother was thinking...and he probably didn't want to know.

"Hey...hey Donatello?" Raph asked in a course voice.

Ah, shell... poor Donnie thought.

"Ya, Raph?"

"Did- did I ever tell ya that I loved, like really, really loved the color green," Raph said, as he started laughing again.

"Yeesh...Okay, Raph. Don't worry, we're almost back to the lair," Donnie tried to explain.

But Raph was off in his own little world, now.

He closed his eyes, which made Donnie very worried, and started imagining all of the green colored things he could think of. There's trees, grass, plants. There are green balloons, green cars, green signs. There's even green animals...like, like turtles.

In that instant, Raph snapped his eyes wide open and screamed at his younger brother, "Donnie! I just realized...we are green! Turtles, turtles are green, Donnie! Turtles are green! Who- who would have thought that we were my favorite color..." Raph trailed off as he closed his eyes again.

"Oh, boy Raph," Donnie said. "We'll get you fixed up as soon as possible, because this type of Raph is just not right," Donnie said in bewilderment as Raph started laughing again.

"Donnie, Donnie...I need to tell ya something..." Raph said in almost a whisper.

"What, what is it Raph?" Donnie asked, fearful for what he would say next.

"Donnie! I said I- I need to tell ya something!" Raph screamed loudly, causing Donnie to jump.

"I said what, Raph!?" Donnie asked again.

"I love ya, bro," Raph said almost silently as he closed his eyes and started to swipe the air with his hands.

"You're more far gone than I thought," Donnie said to Raph, who clearly wasn't listening as he fought imaginary foes above him with his hands.

-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-

When Donnie finally managed to get back to the lair, he set his totally confused and rather annoying brother down on a table in his lab.

"Donnnnnie-" Raph began to say, before his younger brother cut him off.

"No, Raph. Don't talk anymore. You're home now, and I'm going to quickly make you an antidote so you can get better," Donnie explained, as he turned his back to Raph and began mixing substances.

Then, their Sensei appeared in the door of Donnie's lab.

"What is-" Splinter began to say, before he stopped and took in the scene in front of him.

"I'll explain when I'm done, Sensei. Please, just give me some time and I'll tell you what happened," Donnie frantically said.

"Wait...Splinter!?" Raph said. "You're...you're a rat. You're brown, not green. Why- why are ya not green!?" Raph continued, quite disappointed that his father wasn't his favorite color like his brothers were.

"Oh, Raph will you stop with the green!" Donnie yelled. Then he turned to face his Sensei as he put some substances into his centrifuge. "Sensei, do you mind stepping out for a little bit. I promise I'll tell you everything. I just have to help Raph right now."

"Very well, my son. I will be waiting outside," Splinter said. Feeling completely useless, he quickly added, "Is- is there anything I can do, Donatello?"

"Not right now, Sensei. Just wait if you don't mind," Donnie said in a stricter tone than usual, making it sound like an order.

"Of course. I'll be out here then," as their Sensei turned and walked out of the door.

"Ya, that's right," Raph yelled after him. "Just walk away...It's not like ya were green anyways..."

"Oh, just shut up already about the green!" Donnie yelled back at his older brother, completely annoyed, now.

Of course, Splinter was very concerned about Raphael. He had no idea what was wrong with his son. He wished that he knew something about what happened. He really wanted to help, even if it was in a small way.

As he stood outside Donatello's lab, he also thought about Donatello. What stress must he be going through right now to help Raph, whatever is wrong with him...he did not know. It must be a lot because he has never heard his second youngest son yell like that, especially to Raphael.

But another thought swiftly found its way into his mind.

Where is Michelangelo?

He only saw Raphael and Donatello.

Perhaps he was in the kitchen, or his room? No, Michelangelo would have been with his brothers, especially if Raphael was hurt, in some way Splinter still didn't understand. Where, where was he then?

All of these confusing and worrisome thoughts snuck their way around the rat's head, until his purple banded son came out of his lab, looking tired, but relieved.

"Donatello, first off, is Raphael okay?" Splinter asked with worry in his voice.

"Don't worry, Sensei. Raph is going to be fine, he just needs some rest before he can get back up on his feet again. A couple hours would do," Donnie stated.

Splinter, now rid of most of his worry, asked, "Do you mind explaining what happened to Raphael...and, most importantly, where Michelangelo is?"

Donnie shuddered at the mention of his youngest brother's name. He was only taken by Fishface no more than an hour ago and found out his eldest brother was with the Shredder, which is the same exact place Mikey was headed to...he didn't know how to begin.

Splinter noticed his son shudder, causing fear to spread through the poor rat, once again.

"Well..." Donnie started. "Mikey decided to- to go and find Leo by himself, after our talk about his safety, which didn't go so well."

Then Donnie went on to explaining the entire thing.

He talked about how him and Raph chased him along the roofs of the buildings. How Mikey stopped and threw a smoke bomb when they were close enough, to get away from them. How Raph noticed Mikey's bandana pass a chimney on a rooftop above them.

And about the fight, in which he explained how they came up there, seeing Mikey unconscious next to Fishface, and explaining how he was going to take him to the Shredder...also about how they found out that Leo was already a prisoner of him...

Then going on to saying how Fishface threw him off the roof, but he was lucky enough to grab onto a windowsill.

Then when Raph was trying to help him up, that Fishface snuck up behind him, dug his poisonous teeth into his shoulder, and took off with Mikey before he could get back up on the roof in time.

He explained how he couldn't even catch Fishface and save Mikey in time, for they were already too far away, and so he had no choice but to bring his poisoned brother back home to cure him.

Splinter was stunned when his son stopped talking. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. Splinter tried to speak, but he couldn't push himself enough to preform an action that millions of people do everyday all around the world.

When he found the strength to finally speak, he said, "So- so Leonardo is with the Shredder? And- and so is Michelangelo?" He knew the answer to those questions, already, but he asked them again, for he did not want to believe them to be true.

Donnie just looked down in defeat, for he thought he had failed his Master, his Sensei, his father...

"I...I tried to do everything I could, father...but I failed. I failed at protecting my brothers," Donnie said, his voice full of sorrow.

It was a bit of a shock to his father, for he could not believe what he was hearing from his son's mouth.

"You did not fail, my son," Splinter said, reassuringly. "You did everything you could. I know that. But you also saved the life of Raphael today. I am very proud of you, Donatello...very proud."

A long silence filled the room.

Then, finally, Splinter said,"Besides, at least we can now have a chance to believe that Leonardo and Michelangelo are still alive. They're still out there. I know they are..." he finished.

"You know, Sensei," Donnie said. "I believe you. I believe that my brothers are still alive...and I will do anything and everything in my power to get them back. I'm sure Raph feels the same...well, not right now, obviously, since he's out cold. The antidote kicked in, and he'll be better in no time."

Another long silence spread through the room.

At last, Donnie said, "Once Raph gets better, we're going to find our brothers. I swear to you, father, that we will find them. I swear to you..." Donnie said as his eyes, full of hope, looked up into his father's eyes.

"Donatello...our time of hiding is over. We will find Leonardo and Michelangelo. You, Raphael...and me."

I hoped you all thought Raph was funny! I tried to make him as stupid as possible, and I won't know if I did a good job, unless you all REVIEW and tell me how I did! I tried to make it pretty serious at the end, where Splinter tells Donnie that he will join the search for his missing sons. I decided to have more Splinter action in my story, if you don't mind. Thanks for reading, and I'll try to update soon!
