{Mikey nods, looking back at Mike.}

He wants to make the room cold enough to have Klunk seek warmth. If the kittens follow after Klunk for warmth, then it shows they can't handle the cold like Kitty.

{Mike nods.}

Yeah, sounds like Don. Still not exactly sure how you understand any of that.

Years of practice.

Okay. *POOF!* You are now a normal turtle. I mean, I asked if you wanted to be a turtle. I never said anything about a mutant turtle. I guess you should have been more specific.

He yelps as, suddenly, he's drowning in a pile of clothes. He lets out a few startled chirps- help! help!- struggling to find up. Is he on his back? He might be on his back right now-

He huffs, rolling his eyes a bit. Yeah, yeah. He really should have seen this coming, honestly.

@the-party-dude

[the-party-dude]

So, why exactly are we all here?

{Mikey shrugs half-heartedly, looking at Don.}

[the-party-dude]

You can say that again. If anything, I think he's proud of himself.

*Meow.* :3

Thought so.

I just can't believe- when!?

See!? That's what I've been saying! I went to check on Ice Cream Kitty and the next thing I knew, Sherbet, Strawberry, and Neapolitan were in the cooler with her!

{Mike pauses, looking at Mikey.}

You named them after ice cream flavors?

Yeah, of course.

Awesome! Good name choices.

I know.

@the-party-dude

[the-party-dude]

Mmm? Oh- right. So apparently, we should have had a better eye on our cats.

Why?

{Mikey moves out of the way so Mike can see the bed.}

*Meow.*

*Murrreow.*

Klunk! And kittens? Wait- kittens! Awwww~! They're so cute!

{Mike is quick to swoon over the kittens.}

Wait, so our cats, did this? Klunk!

*Mew.*

{Mikey just giggles before setting Don back down on the bed.}

Yeah, guess they liked each other.

@the-party-dude

[the-party-dude]

Oh.

I just remembered.

You guys don't understand turtle.

You can't understand Don, can you?

What?

{Mike looks at Mikey like he lost his mind a little. Or he's super confused. Maybe both, actually. Mikey chirps quietly before burger holding Don again, showing him off to Mike like he's a prize.}

This is Don.

...

No way.

Yeah way.

But he's so small.

And adorable.

I know right!?

@the-party-dude

[the-party-dude]

Don't worry, I'll grab him.

{Mikey hops off to retrieve Mike. So for the next minute or so, you're left to your own devices.}

Wait- you can't just say that and run off- what do you mean Don isn't himself?

Just look for yourself, Dude.

{Mikey smiles, giving Don some gentle shell scritches. Then, a family voice can be heard in the distance.}

DON!?

{Mikey giggles, petting Klunk.}

He's just curious.

{Klunk gives Don's shell one last whack before sniffing the turtle.}

{Mikey snickers watching Don before gently placing him on his bed with the cats. Klunk meows curiously, smacking/bapping Don a few times.}

I know, cool right?

It's like being wrapped up in a blanket and a hug.

So comforting and safe.

There's no escaping the burger hold my dude.

{Mikey chirps to Don, giggling more.}

{Mikey perks up at the chirps, looking over to see Don. And you can see the smile slink onto his face. He then grabs Don, holding him like a burger, giggling.}

Awwww.

You're adorable.

Meow.

{Klunk's eyes get big and he sniffs over the kittens.}

{Mikey heads up to Don. He's carrying ICK's cooler.}

Hey Don?

{There are definitely a few emotions swarming around Mikey- happiness, confusion, panic- some good and some bad.}

He turns to the younger turtle. He's glad to see- uh, feel?- that Mikey's emotions seem to be back.

He pauses what he was doing and gives Mikey his full attention.

"Hey Mikey! What's up?"

[the-party-dude]

Murrreow?

{Mikey looks at Klunk, snickering before grabbing the cooler and bringing into his room. He grabs a bowl, opens the cooler, and puts ICK in her bowl. He then grabs the kittens and places them on his bed.}

Meow~. :3

Meow.

{Mikey just giggles.}

{Mikey heads up to Don. He's carrying ICK's cooler.}

[the-party-dude]

We could do my room.

I mean, my room already runs a little cooler then my bros specifically so Ice Cream Kitty won't melt as fast.

{Mikey heads up to Don. He's carrying ICK's cooler.}

"Hey Mikey! What's up?"

[the-party-dude]

{Mikey heads over to the lab, grabs Donnie's laptop, and heads back to Don. The laptop is definitely that of a genius, as the back of it is bulky and heavily "tech-ified", showing chips, wires, an antenna, and plenty of other things. Definitely custom made by the genius himself.}

Oh boy.

You know Donnie will kill me if he finds out that I so much as touched his laptop, right?

[No, I'm pretty sure he was working with all paper.]

{Mikey makes his way to the lair, setting the cooler down.}

I think Dee left his laptop in his lab.

[Has Don actually seen Donnie laptop yet?]
