Living With Turtles

Missing

Donnie

The girls where out on a run and Vivi had left me to watch Toby while she was out. So I did. With any luck he'd be my brother-in-law some day, so I made sure to take good care of him.

After setting him down for a minute while I checked Vivi's instructions to see what Toby would eat (he was picky some times), he was gone when I turned back.

Naturally, my response was very natural. Perfectly understandable. Absolutely- Okay, I screamed. Loud.

Raph was first to come in. "What happened, Donnie?" He asked.

"He's gone!" I screamed. "Oh my God, where is he?"

"You lost Toby!?" Raph panicked. His hands flew to his head. "Vivi's gonna kill us!"

That brought Leo and Mikey to the kitchen. "Vivi's gonna kill who?" Mikey asked, picking up a pizza box.

"Us! I lost Toby!" I replied, quickly checking the floors for the missing child.

"Nope! I ain't dealing with that stuff! Goodbye!" Mikey shouted, rushing for the doors.

Just then, the girls voices drifted towards the Lair. "Shit, it's too late." Raph whispered.

"Donnie? I am home! Where is Toby?" Vivi called, coming into the main room.

"Be cool!" I whisper-yelled, rushing over. "Hi, Vivi! You look wonderful. Have you done something different to your hair?" I asked nervously.

"Well, I did trim the dead ends last night, thanks for noticing, but other than that no. Where is Toby?" She asked, smiling at me.

I ran a hand over my head, stopping at my neck. "Well, uh, Vivi, see... I uh, I kinda... "

"Where is my brother Donatello?" Vivi crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.

Oh, it's never good when she pulls my full name out. "Vivi. I don't know what happened, but i turned around to check your instructions and when I turned back around... Well, Toby was gone." I said softly. The girls froze, Andi's jaw dropped and Zoe's voice was hard when she asked, "You did what?"

Vivi's face went blank, reminding me of a computer crash. "You... you lost Toby. You lost him?" She asked.

I nodded. "I'm sorry."

"You lost Toby." She asked again, a confirming note in her tone.

I nodded again.

Vivi's face got hard and angry. "You fucking lost my Toby!" She shouted.

The rest of us stared. My jaw hit the floor and Zeva looked at Vivi in surprise. Mikey's eyes went wide, mine followed. Vivi's breathing got heavy and her brown eyes glazed over, a snarl on her lips.

I scrambled back, remembering how she'd asked us to run if she ever did curse. She chased after me, her wrist flicked and her scythe popped out from her sleeve. Zoe, Andi, and Zeva watched with wide eyes and shocked faces. Raph, Leo, and Mikey where about the same.

Splinter came out to watch too after a while. He had Toby settled in his arms. I didn't bother looking though, I was too busy trying not to get killed.

So, screaming and panting all the way, I ran from my sexy, but angry, girlfriend.
