Once inside the tank, I search for a chair and slump down into it. Taking off my heels and sighing.

I'm exhausted.

"Does it really worry you that much?" Donnie's purple blob asks. I can see a lot better than I could a minute ago. Finally seeing color.

"Does what?" I ask, sitting up.

"Well." He says wringing his hands. "I saw the way you looked so worried about us possibly being siblings."

My heart plummets again. He's right. I was really wishing that we were only made by Draxum. I know it's practically impossible for Draxum to have gotten Lou Jitsu's DNA before the brothers. But it still worry's me.

"Well yea. I mean. I'm not sure, it would be cool to be your sibling and actually be a part of your family genetically. But I also really hope I'm not." I say, thinking out loud. "Why?"

"I could do a DNA test when we get home? But that's only if you want to know." He looks away.

This could be good. It could garuntee that we aren't related. But Donnie looks so scared about it.

"What do you think?" I ask him.

This takes him by surprise. "What?"

"What do you want to do?" I ask him again. "What would you prefer? Would you like to do the DNA test?"

He thinks for a moment. "I think I would." He says finally. Still looking unsure.

I nod. "Then we can do the DNA test. Do you have a way to do it sooner? Not at the lab?"

"Um. I might have something in the first aid kit to get it ready by the time we get back." He says, searching in the cabinets now. I think it's the cabinets.

I rub my eyes again. This better not be permanent. I open them and I can see more color. As well as shapes are clearer.

Donnie sits down in front of me cross crossed. He opens the med-kit, looking for a tube.

"I use this when I need to test if you have a cold or something." He says, pulling out a long cotton swab and a tube filled with liquid.

I look at the swab in disgust, and take it from him.

"You put it in your nose." He says, turning and sticking it up his. "Just don't go too far or hard, it might hurt."

I stick it up my nose and it itches. I wiggle it a bit and pull it out. I make a little noise that kind of sounds like a groan and a hiccup at the same time. Finally sneezing, a small squeak.

Mikey, Leo and Raph, in unison, say "Awe."

My face gets red. I'm never sneezing again.

"I didn't know sneezing could be cute and tiny." Leo says from his place at the drivers seat.

"It wasn't cute!" I groan. Hiding in my hands.

I hand the swab to Donnie and he places it into the tube. He's smiling as well.

"When are we gonna be back?" I ask Leo, desperately.

"Just around the corner pinkie pie." He says chuckling.

"Do NOT call me that." I warn him.

"Too bad. I think it fits." He shrugs.

"Oh your so getting it at training tomorrow." I roll up the sleeves on my dress.

"Don't worry. I'll go easy on you." He looks at me for a second, snickering.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Donnie laughs.

I haven't seen him laugh in a while. I look at him.

"Has everything been ok?" I ask, lowering my voice so the others can't hear us.

He looks at me confused. "I guess. I'm not sure-" he gets interrupted by the tank stopping abruptly.

"LEO!" I yell at him playfully.

"Sorry princess. We're here! Ladies first." He gestures the the door opening.

"Last warning Leo. Do that again  and I won't wait until training to beat you up." I wave a finger at him. Trying not to laugh.

"I would never!" He says sarcastically. Raph hits him on the arm. "OW! Hey!" He glared at Raph.

Raph only raises an eyebrow at him. Leo rolls his eyes smiling at me.

Time to find out if we are really related.
