Raphael and the others walked back home. Raph had carried D as if he was a tired little kid. Which at this point, he technically was. Compared to Raph at least.

They walked in, or rather climbed in. Raph went straight to D's room, opening the door and stepping into the LED lit purple room. He walked over to Donnie's bed and set him down, though realized he had clung on to his arm. He didn't want to pull him off, not wanting to risk waking the smaller soft shell. He decided to keep him company, and curled around him. He soon fell asleep.

Mikey and Leo come to check up on the two, since they didn't see Raph come back at all. They peeked in the door and spotted the snapper curled around the softshell, sleeping. Mikey smiled and quickly took out his phone. Leo did too. They took pictures. Leo was doing it to be funny, and Mikey wanted more photos for his scrapbook.

The two left, giggling. They closed the door silently and went to bed, since it was late by now.

Donnie yawned and woke up, blinking to adjust to the light. He spotted the large snapper, who was still asleep curled around him, and flinched back a bit in surprise. He didn't wake him though. He decided to just go back to sleep, since they both needed it.

A few hours later Donnie woke up again, this time Raph had already been awake. He blinked tiredly, looking up at the snapper. "Oh, you're finally awake?"

"What do you mean? I woke up before you." He replied, confused.
"I woke up a few hours ago, but went back to sleep because I was still tired. You were still asleep when I first woke up." D said.
"Oh. Well you coulda-"
"No I couldn't have. You aren't a morning turtle. And I was still tired anyways. We both needed sleep." D interrupted.
"Alright smarty pants, let's just go get some breakfast." Raph grunted.

"Sounds like a good idea." Donnie hopped out of bed, stepping aside so Raph could follow.
He did, the bed making a creaking noise as he lifted off of it.
"Let us go meet up with our brothers then." Donnie walked to the door and opened it, letting Raph through before closing the door behind the two.

"Well hello sleeping beauties. How was your nap?" Leo grinned.
"Good, yours?" Raph yawned, sitting down.
"Good." He looked over at Mikey, who snickered mischievously.
"What did you two do?" Donnie cocked an eyebrow suspiciously. He stuck beside Raph.
"Nothinggg." Mikey snickered.

"Mikey. What did you do?" Raph asked in a more firm yet suspicious tone.
"So you know that scrapbook-" Mikey said slowly.
"Mikey. . . You better not have." Donnie glared at the box turtle.
"Nooooo, no we didn't." Leo tried to hide his grin, still looking at Mikey.

"YOU LITTLE-!" Raph and Donnie said in unison, jumping from their stools and chasing after the two brothers who ran.

"Can't catch us! I already printed them!" Mikey giggled, then popped into his shell to have Leo carry him.
Leo held him under his arm, bounding towards the skate park area of the lair.
"Get back here!!" Donnie yelled, surprisingly going faster than raph by a few paces.
"We know where you two hide!" Raph followed.

"No you don't!" Leo yelled back. Then turned a corner and disappeared with Mikey.
The other two turned sharply, raph ended up slipping but caught himself. They split up to look for the box turtle and the slider.

"Come out, come out wherever you are~" Raph chimed.
"We aren't gonna hurt you, totally not. Nooo." Nailed it. Donnie looked around.
"Fine. . . You leave me no choice. Come out or I'm taking your Gameboys." Raph sighed.

Suddenly, the two other brothers burst out of their hiding spot and ran the other way. Raph and Donnie followed in pursuit.
"Gotcha!" Raph grinned, snatching Leo up and holding him.
Donnie continued chasing after Mikey, quickly gaining ground since he had much longer legs.
Mikey suddenly turned, jumping up onto a platform and swinging himself up onto multiple other places.
Donnie paused, watching his little brother and crossing his arms. "I would have thought you'd be more unpredictable, little brother."
