The Basement

In the hotel's basement. A blue portal appears and the 'disaster twins' step out of it.

Leo puts his sword away as the portal disappears. "Wow. Your new 'girly friend' talks almost as much as you." He teased.

"Was that supposed to be an insult?" Donnie asked dryly.

"Did it annoy you?" Leo asked in a sugar coated tone.

"Yes." Donnie deadpanned.

"Then it was." Leo said smugly.

Donnie's eyes started to twitch in irritation. "Be serious! We have to find the oozesquito and two ferrets." Don said with all the calmness he could possibly muster out at that moment.

"Ha, Ha- Sorry but it's just way too fun to mess with you." Leo laughed like the dang troll he is, at Donnie's 'hilarious' expression.

"Oh jeez, now I have to plan my revenge. But first, you need to know that there's something on your face." Donnie pointed out sarcastically.

"Really? What is it?" In a panic, Leo placed a hand on his nose.

Donnie slammed Leo's hand further into his face. "It was PAIN! Ha. Ha. I said out loud." Don stated triumphantly.

Leo rubs his nose in comfort. "Ow, I can't believe I fell for the old- *gasp* Wait a minute. Was that... what I think it was?" He asked with his eyes sparkling in wonderment.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Donnie asked in horror.

"Oh I never thought I would see the day but you, 'The Donatello'... Used a MEME!" Leo exclaimed as if he found gold.

"WHAT- I did NOT! I-I came up with that one off the top of my head!" Donnie clarified swiftly.

"Aww, I knew you secretly like the memes I texted you. This calls for our first ever- *steps closer* 'Double Twin Dab'!" Leo enthusiastically grabs Donnie's wrists and forces him to dab.

"NO! Oh gosh NO!" Donnie rapidly shakes away from Leo's grip. "Memes are lazy, unoriginal and the lowest form of comedy." The softshell stated, firmly.

"Hehe, oh this is the best day of my life." Leo blissfully, ignores Don's claims. "I just gotta tell our bros about this." The red eared slider took out his cellphone.

"Gahh! Don't you dare!" Donnie pleaded as he tried to snatch the phone away from Leo.

"Oh, too late. It's already ringing." Leo teased as he effortlessly pushed his twin away.

"If you don't stop RIGHT NOW! I'll make you face a fate WORSE THAN DEATH!" Donnie threatened as he kept on fighting for the phone that was just out of reach.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh 'sure' you will." Leo dismissively pats on Donnie's head. "Hey Mikey! You and Raph are never going to believe what just happened." Leo casually tells the phone.

"Don't believe a SINGLE WORD he says guys!" Donnie shrieked out like a crazy, rabid racoon against Leo's grip.

Phone: "What is it- RAPH! STOP EATING THE FURNITURE!" Mikey roars out. "Ugh, sorry guys but Raph is being a real dog right now." The box turtle apologized.

Phone: "Whoa. I know Raph can be a little much at times but there's no need to be rude." Leo said in dismay as he kept a strong hold on Donnie, who was hissing like an angry cat.

Phone: "No, I mean he is literally a dog right now and-" Mikey tried to explain. "Raph no! Give me back the phone!" He yelped out.

The twins stop fighting to give each other a confused shrug. As they hear some more yelling and strange barking coming through the phone.

Phone: "Raph, please... just put... the phone, down." Mikey pleaded carefully. "No, don't eat it-" The call abruptly ends with static.

"Huh? It's pretty rare to hear those two fighting." In bewilderment, Leo puts the phone away.

"Should we be worried?" Donnie asked once Leo finally let him out of his 'death' grip.

"Nah. Knowing them, our brothers just need some space to work things out." Leo presumed.

"Hmm, for once I must unironically agree with you." Donnie replied.

"For now, let's just focus on finding those ferrets." Leo announced.

"Alright..." Donnie turns around. "The gasp! I found the ferrets." The softshell pointed up ahead, to two ferrets trapped in a small cage.

"Wow, now that was pretty convenient. A little, too convenient." Leo said in suspicion.

"So, you didn't actually want to find them?" Donnie raised an eyebrow.

"Well yeah but it's just... isn't this usually the part where we fight somebody." Leo said in thought.

"We fight each other all the time. Does that count?" Donnie asked sarcastically.

"I guess. Like in this race. 1, 2, 3 GO!" Leo pulls his twin's hat down and runs to the ferrets.

"Hey- No fair!" Donnie put his hat back up in irritation. "Get back here you cheater!" He chases after the red eared slider.

"Takes one to know one!" Leo retorted with a raspberry as he kept on running.

In a huff, Donnie activates the rocket on his tech-bo and hops on it to zoom right to the ferrets.

The turtle twins were neck to neck in the race. Until they ended up placing a hand on the cage at the same time.

"Ha! I win!" Both of the turtles exclaimed triumphantly. "WHAT?! No you didn't- AH!" They tried to argue but got interrupted by a net trapped, sweeping them off the ground.

"Oh no. How will we ever get out of this dreaded rope trap." Leo said dramatically. "Whoa, I definitely sounded just like you that time, huh?" He teased.

"Oh 'great'. I definitely lost if being stuck with you is the constellation prize." Donnie said dryly.

"Well, well, well. Look who's finally stepped into my trap." A female voice said from the shadows.

"Who said that?" Leo asked as he looked through the net's ropes.

"It was me... Zoey!" The redhead with a green dress stepped into the light.

"Ah-HA! I knew it wasn't Cassidy! You owe me five bucks." Donnie exclaimed to his brother.

"What?! We didn't bet any money on this!" Leo argued.

"Uh, hello? Did the two of you forget that I trapped you here." Zoey said dryly.

"Oh sorry. You may now continue on with your evil monologue or like whatever." Donnie waved his hand dismissively.

"As I was saying. I knew you two were close on my trail. So I set up this trap..." Zoey began to say.

"While I-" Cassidy walks up to her twin. "setted up a spot on the black market to sell these rare ferrets for millions." She finished explaining, evilly.

The disguised turtles gasp in complete shock.

"That's right and there's nothing you can-" Zoey began to belittle the teen boys.

"Ooo! I totally called it! I knew Cassidy was involved in this! So pay up!" Leo demanded his twin.

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about." Donnie answered simply.

"Really Zoey? You thought these losers were a threat?" Cassidy whispered to her sister.

The disguised turtles continued to bicker with each other.

"Hey, you're the one who always says 'better safe than sorry'." Zoey quietly remarked.
