Red & Blue make Purple

The Dark Blues

The music slowly started to die down as more and more students were leaving. Mikey was wandering around the almost empty gym until he spotted Red slumped over a table.

"There you are! Geez Red next time could you- Uh... are you ok?" Mikey pause when Red revealed his sleepy eyes.

"Hmm... I am now that you're here! Haha!" Red Donnie bounce for joy.

"Umm... if you say so. Come on, Blue texted that he didn't feel so well and he's already at the lair." Mikey expand as he gestured for Red to follow him.

"Ha, of course he would do that." Red Donnie said with an eye roll as he followed Mikey.

Later in the Lair:

"Wow, the place looks great. It's like I never left." Red Donnie jokes.

"Eeyup, no place like home. By the way, where were you anyways?" Mikey wondered.

"Oh, you know, here and there. Hey you want to see the pictures I took?" Red Donnie asks excitedly as he shoved his phone into Mikey's face.

"Uh, maybe later. It's getting pretty late, don't you think?" Mikey said awkwardly as he lightly pushed the phone away.

"No way! I'm not *yawn* tired at all." Just then Red Donnie notice Blue walking out of the lab. "Hey Blue get over here I got some pictures to show you!" Red shouted.

But Blue Donnie just kept walking to his room as if nobody was there.

"That's weird." Red Donnie said.

"Maybe Blue is just tired." Mikey defended.

"Yeah, that's gotta be it." Red Donnie said with one final glance to the room.

The next day:

Mikey walked into the living room and spotted Red sleeping on the couch with the T.V on.

"Red? Did you stay up all night?" Mikey lightly shook Red Donnie awake.

"W-what? *yawn* Oh, hey Mikey. I was just watching a movie marathon. Want to watch the rest with me?" Red Donnie asked with glee.

"It looks like it's over." Mikey stated.

"Oh. Hey Blue, you got any- Oh, right." Red Donnie remembered that Blue was in the lab.

Later:

Mikey saw Red Donnie staring at the lab. "You know, you could just knock." Mikey suggested.

"What? No way. I can't just walk in there. You have any idea how scary he can be. I should know since we share the same brain." Red Donnie said matter of factly.

"Did you two get in a fight?" Mikey questioned.

"What no. I mean kinda... Ugh, who am I kidding? It was me alright! Just lock me away. Like all the low lives in the world." Red Donny said dramatically.

"Or, you could just go in there and apologize." Mikey advised.

"Nah, I think I'd rather take my chances with prison. See you later!" Red Donnie tried to run away but Mikey stopped him dead in his tracks.

"Oh no you don't. I may not know exactly what's going on but I do know that nothing is going to get better if you just run away from your problems." Mikey said sternly as he was pushing Red towards the lab.

"Ok, how about I just run into a different problem instead." Red Donnie pleaded with a smile.

Mikey just knocked on the door without a second thought.

"It's open!" Blue Donnie announced.

Mikey walked in as he shoved Red in front of Blue. "Now Red isn't there something you wanted to say?" Mikey gave him an encouraging smile.

"Uh... you see the thing is that um... I'm so-sorry." Red Donnie said quietly as he avoided eye contact.

"Now Blue, is there something that you want to say." Mikey asked.

"Uh... thanks for apologizing?" Blue Donnie said in confusion.

"Now hug it out. See now, isn't that better?" Mikey said brightly as the two Donnies gave each other an awkward hug. "Well, now that that's resolved am going to make some lunch. You guys want anything?" Mikey asked.

"Ice cream with marshmallows and chocolate chips all on a pizza. Oh, and don't forget to dip it all in gravy." Red Donnie demanded.

"Just a small fruit salad for me." Blue Donnie requested.

Red Donnie looked at Blue with bewilderment.

"Alright then." Mikey said as he left the room.

"Hay um... not to sound ungrateful or anything but why didn't you yell at me for requesting something so, 'disgusting'. And say you know, 'Red you shouldn't be so reckless don't you realize how many calories are in those!'" Red Donnie said in a mocking tone.

Blue just walked away and started typing on his laptop.

"Oh I get it, you're giving me the silent treatment. Well it ain't going to work. I've done it with you thousands of times and therefore I am immune to it. So ha!" Red Donnie scoffed.

"..." Blue Donnie just continued on typing.

"Of course... are brothers did usually cave in pretty fast." Red Donnie said thoughtfully. "All right all right! I'm really really sorry! There you happy now?" He blurted out.

"No." Blue Donnie said flatly.

"What why-" Red Donnie said but was cut off.

"Because... I realized that you were right." Blue Donnie said with a sigh.

"Hah, of course I'm right." Red Donnie said proudly. "Uh... about what exactly?"

"That 'you don't need me' so now we can both live the lives we want without arguing." Blue Donnie said with sorrow.

"Hay wait a minute. I didn't mean like, forever! I just meant like, for the night." Red Donnie clarified.

"Then how come every time we get sick. You always take full control and ignore all my warnings. And by the time you do, it's too late and I'm left with cleaning up your mess!" Blue Donnie demanded an answer.

"Just because we get sick doesn't mean we can't have fun. Besides I only did that since you kept us up all night to work on boring projects." Red Donnie defended.

"We can't just ignore are responsibilities Red. And the only reason I make us work so late is because you partied all day and waited until the last minute to work!" Blue Donnie retorted.

"What do you want from me! You can't just expect me to stop being spontaneous!" Red Donnie yelled.

"I don't want you to stop! I just... look, can't we just find some kind of compromise?" Blue Donnie suggested thoughtfully.
