It's Okay To Be Different | TMNT Donnie X OC Love Story

field trip: in space

"Time for space!" Leo made a pointing pose.

"I have to wear WHAT?!" Maya screamed. April was insisting on a warm lavender jumpsuit in similar stitching to her own. "NO! I like what I have!"

"You cannot enter space safely if you are to be wearing breathable clothing. Otherwise your nerves will die off." The professor said, sticking a finger in the air.

"Aw man..."

Maya slumped over and reluctantly grabbed the suit, momentarily leaving the room to change. She came back out dawning the slim fitted one piece, a huge flush of embarrassment scrawled across her face. The suit was collared up to her esophagus, similar to a turtleneck.

"You look great Maya!" Mikey encouraged, who attempted to kiss his girlfriend, but instead knocked the glass helmets together.

"I feel weird!" Maya stressed.

"Well it won't matter anymore because we're going to space!" Leo revenge-interrupted back.

The endless dark sky was entrancing. Little blanched orbs were sprinkled throughout, illuminating the inherently scary nature of the atmosphere.

As Raziel freely moved about, Raphael was freaking about his motion sickness. A small rock tinked against his helmet, spouting another episode of nausea. The rock floated by Raziel, who pocketed the stone quickly.

"Do you like rocks, Raziel?" Donnie appeared out of seemingly nowhere.

Raziel flinched and sighed. "Call me Zi. And yeah, I do. You can find rocks just about everywhere. Easy souvenirs, I guess."

"I can understand what you mean." Donnie said, his brilliant gapped teeth peeking through.

Zi rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly and laughed. "It's a hobby I picked up ever since I left Sarchagel."

Zi widened his eyes for a brief second and grabbed at his posterior, where a black bandana flopped out from his jean pocket. As a blush began to appear on his ears, he quickly stuffed the bandana inside.

"Hey guys!" Jophiel popped her head out from behind her brother. "How do you like outer space, Donatello?"

"It's great! Giving me a bit of existential dread but I can put that aside for a brief moment of bliss!"

"Jophy..." Zi groaned, rolling his eyes.

Donnie studied the differences between the two. Raziel was fidgeting with a rock wrapped in wire necklace as he mouthed off to Jophiel, who shuffled tarot cards in her hands. Then he noticed markings on the skin of the siblings. The shape of the birthmarks was a heart. Jophiel had hers in the center of her right cheek. Raziel had it...on his neck. If you weren't paying attention to the shape it looked like a hickey.
