in the ark hallway two sets a feet tiptoed quietly through the darkness meeting infront of a red coated door surprising eachother

they walked into the oldest turtles door and donnie knocked three times 

raph opened his eyes slowly wondering who was up this late he shrugged and called COME IN 

the twins came in quietly shutting the door behind them

the twins snuggled up to their big brother feeling the comfort f his presecence as they started talking about their night and how they played their challenges

mikey sighed in relief as he heard his brothers voice 

he opened the door and noticed all three of his brothers on the bed

mikey snuck onto the bed cuddling up to his brothers as they squeezed closer together 

in the cool moring mist a pair of whooves walked through the house as the father of four boys walked to find his children to see if they were alright 

he opened the youngest childs room and noticed he wasnt there
