A/N: This continues from the second last chapter, before Raph got stabbed. Okay? Okay. Cool. I Like how I have more bad endings than good endings. I'm weird like that...

Raph woke up, screaming. Sweat trickled down his forehead as he panted. What... The heck was that? He felt his shoulder. Nothing wrong. He was fine. So it was all a dream? Well, more like a nightmare. Same thing. But even so, that was the most intense dream he'd ever had. He'd genuinely thought it was real.

The door opened slightly, and Mikey peered into his room. The light from the corridor outside shone into his bedroom, showing light on all the comic books and action figures strewn across the room. "Raph? Are you okay? You were screaming and yelling at the top of your lungs. I'm surprised no one else got woken up by your screams,"

Raph smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine Mikey," "So, what kind of Nightmare were you having?" Mikey asksed. Raph shrugged. He really didn't feel like telling him what happened. Not only was it a long story, He did not want to relieve those memories. Also, Raph had no idea how Mikey would take it.

Mikey entered the room and closed the door, gingerly tiptoeing over the things on the floor and nearly falling onto Raph's drum set. He made his way to my bed and jumped under the covers.

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me. But I can stay with you if you want. Master Splinter always said people feel better after a nightmare when they were with others," Raph raised his eyes. "He never said that," Mikey ignored his comment and snuggles up closer.

"Heheh... Yeah I kind of had a nightmare too. It was really scary. I think I tried to kill you. But I would never do that, so don't worry Raphie," Oh. He had the same dream. Raph choose to ignore Mikey calling him 'Raphie', which He immensely disliked, and patted him on the head. "Of course you wouldn't. Goodnight Mikey."

"Goodnight Raph,"

And for the rest of the night, Raph didn't have anymore nightmares.

Extras 1:
I heard the click of a camera and some snickering and frowned. Ugh. Who was that idiot? I opened my eyes, ready to pummel somebody and found Leo and Donnie using their Tphones to take pictures. Wait. Then I noticed Mikey's death grip around my shell. Oh. That's why. "Guys!" I hissed. Oh man, I really didn't want to wake Mikey (not that I could move anyway) but at the same time I wanted to kill my two brothers. "Hehe. Smile for the Camera, Raph," Donnie said cheekily and snapped another photo.

Splinter watched from the doorway, rolled his eyes and chuckled at the scene. "Boys will be boys,"

Extras 2 (Continuing from when Raph woke up) :
"Raph?" The door opened and Mikey peered inside my room, eyes sleepy and unfocused. "You were yelling. I thought I'd make sure you were okay. Were you having a nightmare?" I hesitate. "Uh... Yeah,"

Mikey makes his way to my bed, avoiding the comic books and action figures strewn everywhere. "I kinda had a nightmare too. Can I... Stay with you? I don't want to have it again..." I nod and he jumps under the covers. "Hey you forgot to close the door you numbskull,"

"But I'm too lazy..." Then two heads appear at the door. Leo and Donnie stare at Mikey and I. "Nightmares?" Leo breaks the silence with a question. "Yep," Mikey and I answer in unison. "Same for me and Donnie," Leo replies.

"Can we..."
"Turtle pile?"
After Leo commenting about the mess on the floor and nagging me to clean it up tomorrow morning, followed by Donnie tripping over an action figure and falling onto the drums, and all of us praying we didn't wake Splinter, all of us lay on the bed, whispering and talking.

"We haven't done this since we were kids," I comment.
"Yeah. When we had nightmares we'd always do this. I figured we could do it again. For old time's sake," Leo says. A silence hangs in the air, and Donnie asks the question no one has asked yet. "So what did you guys dream about?"

We all don't answer, and Leo's the first to break the silence. "This may sound a little crazy but I had this dream..." He then began to describe the events that happened in my dream. Only in his point of view. Freaky.
"I had the same dream too," Donnie mumbles. Mikey and I say the same.

"Well... This is new. We've never had the same dream before..." Leo mutters. "You guys know I'd never do that to you, right?" Mikey asks in a soft voice. "Of course we know Mikey. We'd be stupid not to know. You're our little brother and even if you did do those things, we'd still love you,"

Mikey smiles. "Okay. That's good to know." We all lie in silence for a while. "Should we go to sleep?" Leo asks. Donnie's yawn answers the question.
"Goodnight Raph,"
"Goodnight Leo,"
"Goodnight Mikey,"
"Night Donnie,"
"Mikey get your foot out of my face,"
"It's not mine, I swear!"
"Then who's is it?"
"Guys, quiet! You're gonna wake Splinter!"
"My bad Raph, that's my foot,"
"Great job Donnie, first you crash my drums then you have your foot in my face. What's next?"
"Shh. Just go to sleep..."
...
"I need to pee..."
...
The next morning, Splinter wakes up to find Leo, Donnie and Mikey are gone from their rooms. As he walks into Raph's room, he hears the sound of four turtles snoring. He grabs a camera and chuckles as he takes a photo of the turtles piled on top of one another. He could always wake them up later...

He puts the photo into his photo album, smiling at how big his boys have grown and how they're still so childish. He's happy that despite how often they fight, their bonds are strong. He compares their recent photo to the photo of them he took of them doing the same as children. He grins. He can't wait to use it against them as blackmail.
