Sometimes bad things happens. For a journalist a low battery or no more storage-space, can be a true nightmare they'd wish to wake up from. For you, today the worst, most horrible and terrifying thing that could happen for a journalist like you, happened.

You basically cried your heart out in desperation as you reread the message you just had gotten, saying very clearly that your internet-subscription on your phone had been cancelled. How could such terror happen to you? You could maybe have your internet back by the time of tomorrow, but that wouldn't be good enough. What if something interesting happened? What if someone broke up or found out a good secret to the frontpage? All these incredible chances to articles you'd miss, just because of lost internet. Such kind of fate should no one have to go through.

Still sitting in the couch of the Lair, mocking voices of two of the brothers there were living there, suddenly resounded as Donnie and your boyfriend, dressed in a clown costume appeared from the lab section and approached the living-room.

"...That's some supercalifragilisticexpialidocious-nonsense Mikey. You were the one starting this to begin with."

"Donnie, don't use..."

"You know, all of the clown-stuff gives me Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (Try read that as fast possible XD)."

You looked towards the two turtles, finding Mikey cradle his head groaning. What were they doing, since they suddenly fought all of a sudden? You knew Mikey had irritated Donnie the past days for fun, but why did he seem to have a headache now?

"Too many long words..:" Mikey complained.

You stood up halfhearted and went over to them. "What's going on with you two?"

Donnie shook his head, sighing. "He's just overreacting."

"C'mon Don! You know it's funny seeing you tiptoe around. I'm just helping you stay in shape," Mikey grinned.

"Yeah? Well, I'm just trying to keep your dictionary in shape."

"...Touché."

"Can't you just jump on Raph or Leo instead? It's impossible to concentrate with you sneaking around."

"Noo. Raph isn't scared of them and Leo doesn't react on it at all. It's only fun with you. (Y/n) have seen the pictures so she can confirm it," he said as wrapping an arm around your shoulders

Donnie facepalmed in disbelief, before he took a deep breath and crossed his arms. "I guess, Leo really is autothaumaturgist. Not very surprising considering he uses his skills as a ninja on something more important than scaring me."

"No more long words..." Mikey groaned miserable.

"The deal is: No more booby-traps, no more long words."

""Aww...fine," Mikey replied disappointed. "Just no more of that. My head already feel like exploding..." Seeming finally to have ended their own business, Mikey noticed your depressed expression. He poked you in the side cheerfully to get your attention. "Why so gloomy chica? Did the bad words get to you too?"

You shook your head first now realizing you still were clenching your phone. "I have no internet..." you explained, looking down. "No WiFi, no emails. No emails, no articles."

"Huh? You haven't internet?" Donnie asked confused. "Why don't you borrow Mikey's shell-phone then?"

Your boyfriend dug up from his belt his phone and handed it toward you temptingly. "You could just have asked sooner," he said, winking at you.

As soon you saw the phone, and tryingly tried taking the phone, you brightened up like the shiny sun when he didn't move it away from you. You snatched the phone out of his hand beaming, kissing his cheek soundly, before you sprinted back to the couch, already right at it with checking your newest emails.

Left back was a blinking Donnie and a goofy smirking Mikey looking after you in each their amazement. Sometimes phobias wasn't that hard to get rid off. After all every problem have a solution and every fear, a way of easing it.
