I had been working on this story through the week, and I totally forgot that it was Saturday so I went to finish it, and it turns out...My storrryy was deleted! So here I am, re-writing it. I should really get a beta reader...anyone up for it? :p

ECDeadly: Thankss! I don't really know how to write the characters that well though, so many people write better...Dx But, that's what practice is for! :3 Yeah, I need a beta reader because I suck with spelling and my writing program doesn't tell me T.T Truthfully, I suck with Splinter, that's why he's barely in any of the chapters I write -which I have to fix- but, yeah. ^.^;

Guest: Thanks! Believe me, there's gonna be a few more chapters haha.

dondena :Yeahh, stitches can be annoying. ^.^;

simbeau: Thank you! I will!

I don't own any turtles of any kind tbh

"Dudes, is he awake yet?"

"No Mikey, now stop asking." Donatello replied, looking up form his computer screen for the tenth time in the last ten minutes. "You'll be the first to know when he wakes up." He said, giving his younger brother an irratated look before looking back at his screen and trying to concentrate on the article he was reading.

"Okay!"

The purple masked turtle sighed softly when Mikey simply accepted the answer and continued reading, he could tell Mikey was still hovering behind him and felt himself losing patience with the youngest of them, however since he wasn't really disturbing him in anyway he continued to read, ignoring his brother.

"So...whem do you think he'll wake up?"

"MIKEY!" Exclaimed Donnie as he glared up at his brother, a frown on his face, "I don't know when he'll wake up! I'm trying to do something important, now can you please do something that does not involve distracting me?" He huffed, Mikey was quiet, and for a moment, Donnie had thought he had somehow managed to actually upset the orange masked turtle, then Mikey grinned and nodded, running off somewhere to do whatever it is Mikey did.

Finally. The peace and quiet he needed. Just as he began reading again, there was a loud crash from the lab, as well as a groan, a few seconds later a tired Raphael stumbled out, rubbing the back of his head.

Realizing he wasn't going to get any quiet time, the purple masked turte rubbed his temples in annoyance and closed his laptop, putting the silver piece of tech down on the chipped and cracked coffee table and standing.

"Raphie's up!" Mikey screamed from his room, jumping down, grinning ear to ear.

"I thought I was on the couch."

"You didn't wake up this morning so we moved you to the lab." Donnie replied, both him and Raph ignoring Mikey's cheerful yells.

Finally Mikey jumped at his older brother, Raphael took a step to the side, causing Mikey to land on the ground behind him, "Stop foolin' around." He huffed.

Donnie rolled his eyes, picking his laptop up and looking back at his brothers, "I'm going to my lab, please keep it down." He said as he left the room, closing the lab door behind him. He flopped down on his computer chair and sighed, placing the laptop on his table and going back to his article.

Usually something like this wouldn't be on his list of priorities however, it was the latest article on the Purple Dragons, the toughest gang on the east side. Lately, they had been getting better weapons, guns, and a certain acid that was becoming a big problem for the turtles. So Donnie, despite knowing that the article probably wasn't all that great, decided to read it anyway.

"Donnie it's time for patrol."

Looking over at Leo, he sighed and nodded before gently closing his laptop and pushing himself up. He followed his blue masked brother out of the room, of all the nights, tonight seemed to be one of the nights were he got nothing done. He hated nights like these.

It didn't take too long for them to find some action, although it wasn't anything major. Just a small robbery like usual. Raphael of course wasted no time in taking them out, and by the time the had got to the alley below, his red masked brother had already gotten the two thugs knocked out. The rest of the night seemed to be going by slowly however as no one was up to any bad. "I'm boredd, why isn't anyone out tonight?" Mikey pouted.

"Who knows." Donnie sighed, and Raphael frowned, "I was really hopin' to bust some heads."

"You know, no crime is a good thing, right?" Leo asked, raising a brow.

The other three brothers just shrugged. "Why don't we play a game of ninja tag?" Donnie asked, looking at his brothers. There was nothing else for them to do at the moment.

"Good idea dude!"

"We can do that, it's like a form of training."

Looking over to Raphael for an answer, who simply shrugged Donnie smiled, "Good. Mikey's on my team." He quickly claimed, putting a hand on his younger brother's shoulder.

Raphael rolled his eyes then looked over to Leo, who smirked, "We can beat them."

The game ended up going on for quite a few hours, by the time they decided to take a break the sky has begun to get bright, meaning morning was only a few minutes away. The four of them eagerly left for home where they all went their seperate ways for bed. Donatello decided he'd finish the article later and for once went to sleep in his bed, something that was rare these days. His room was pretty bare, he had a small computer on the old wooden desk as well as a few blueprints for ideas. In the corner there was a bookshelf that held a bunch of old medical books and a few computer books, everything was neat and clean, as well as organized. It seemed so foreign in the small room. As he fell onto the bed below him he sighed softly and closed his eyes, sleeping taking him almost immediatly.

Alarm clocks were evil. That was the first thought that came to Donnie's mind as he slammed his hand down on the ringing monster that woke him up hard enough for the damned thing to crack under his fist. Great, now he had added to the list of things he needed to fix. Pushing himself off his bed and stumbling out of the room, Donatello made his way downstairs as he put his mask on, he needed coffee. He needed coffee now. As he began the process of making the dark bitter liquid he thought back to last night and smiled. Rarily ever did he get to spend time with his brothers anymore, they were always doing something, and he was always too busy. The only time they did spend together was patrol, and training, usually during that time, Leo and Raph were butting heads as well. So last night had been a nice change for once.

"Yo Donnie!"

He cast his younger brother Mikey a tired look before mumbling a 'good morning' and turning back to his coffee making, pouring himself a hot steaming mug and sitting down at the table.

"So what's your plan for today dude?"

"Coffee."

Mikey pouted, and Donnie smiled, taking another sip of the dark coffee in his mug, he was never that fuctional without his morning cups of coffee, and Mikey knew that, although he never seemed to give Donatello the time he needed to fully wake up.

"Mornin' Raph!"

"Mornin' Mikey." He replied, slapping his brother over the head as he sat down at the table. Donatello chuckled when Mikey fell out of the chair he had been leaning on from the force of the slap.

"Not cool dude!"

"Totally cool."

Mikey whined and stuck his tongue out before leaving to make cereal. Donnie sighed softly, "Make me a bowl too!" Raph yelled and the purple masked turtle shot him a glare, telling him to quiet down. It was still early.

Surprisingly Leo was the last to wake up, which never happened. He was usually up training before any of them were even close to waking up, so to see him this late in the morning, and still tired was nice. It proved his brother was at least somewhat human. Well, not human but you know what he meant.

This was turning out to be a great morning, maybe that meant it'd be a great day too.

This chapter is super short. I just thought you guys deserved an update. xD I'm going to try to update at least once a week I swear but I've been sick and not getting better and when I did get better I was just too tired to do anything and when I finally decided to continue it it got deleted- So this chapter will have a second part I guess? I mean it's not exactly a full chapter. xD
