"A compromise? Does this mean... you still want to be with me?" Red Donnie asked with hope.

"Yes, but we both have to stop fighting for full control of a situation." Blue Donnie declared.

"Sounds fair, and if we can't settle on a solution, then we should ask for someone's opinion. I mean are brothers might even be a little smarter than we give them credit for." Red Donnie advised.

"True, but let's not rely on just their opinion to fix something." Blue Donnie said with slight concern.

"I can agree on that. So, back to being just one awesome Donatello again?" Red Donnie asked gleefully.

"Well, there's no Donatello without you." Blue Donnie said with a warm smile. Then offered a hug, that Red was more than happy to return.

While they were hugging the magical bracelets activated a poof of smoke that made them fused back together.

Just than, Mikey walked in the lab and said. "Sorry guys I looked all over but I couldn't find... *gasp* Donnie!" Mikey charged at him with pure joy. "Oh, thank goodness you're back!" He was so excited that he ended up lifting Don off his feet in a tight hug.

"What are you talking about?" Donnie ask with alarm.

"Hehe, sorry." Mikey said with embarrassment. "I'm just really glad that your back to normal." He put Donnie back down on his feet.

"Yeah, yeah thanks for looking out for me." Donnie said.

Mikey gasped in bewilderment.

"What?" Donnie asked.

"Oh, nothing." Mikey smiled at his brother's rare appreciation.

"Were back!" Raph called out from the garage.

"Oh no. Donnie, could you do me a solid and distract splinter while I put the bracelets back in his room." Mikey asked sheepishly while he took the bracelets that were now back to there normally black and white striped pattern, off his older brother.

"Ok, fine?" Donnie said.

"Thanks, your the best bro!" Mikey said cheerfully as he ran out the room.

Donnie just rolled his eyes at his brothers silliness and went to the garage. When he got there he ask. "So how was the trip?"

"It was terrible. Halfway there, Raph ended up activating the emergency eject and it sent us all flying into the air. It took like, forever just to find each other." Leo complained.

"Did not! You're the one who pulled the trigger." Raph intervened.

"Yeah, because you pushed me." Leo defended.

"Wha- There was a bug on you. What was I supposed to do?!" Raph retorted.

"Guys, guys. There's no point in fighting." Donnie intervened calmly. "As long as the Turtle Tank is intact. Everything is fine, right dad!?" Donnie called out without even turning around as if he had eyes in the back of his head.

Splinter was on his way to the door but stopped dead in his tracks. "O-of it's fine my son." He responded back nervously.

"Really? So if I were to check right now, I wouldn't find a single scratch or speck of dirt anywhere?" Donnie asked in an eerie way.

"Um, you know, now that I think about it. I um... left... something in there. B-be right back." Splinter said as he anxiously shuffled his way to the Turtle Tank.

"Uh, I think I left something in there too." Raph said as he followed in his father's jittery foot steps.

"I'll help look!" Leo said with a tens tone as he also followed suit.

Donnie just stood there in amazement as he saw his family cleaning the Turtle Tank as if there was no tomorrow. "Hmm, maybe there is something to this whole letting others help." He mumbled to himself.

Mikey stepped into the room quietly. "Hey Donnie. Thanks again for covering for me bro." Mikey whispered.

"No problem." Don said as they both walked out of the room. "Hey, since I got some time to kill want to play some skee ball?"

"Yeah! Oh, before I forget, here." Mikey handed him some vitamins.

"What's this for?" Donnie asked.

"So you don't get sick again." Mikey stated.

"Relax Mikey, I'm fine." Donnie said with annoyance.

"You sure?" Mikey challenge.

"*sigh* Yes, and I'll tell you the minute when I start to feel down again." Donnie said with defeat.

"Promise?" Mikey asked hopefully.

"Promise." Donnie gave his little brother a reassuring hug.

The End.
