Morning

Casey shook his head as he watched her come out of her house with a bag on her back and phone in her hand. "Red you cant be serious, im sure Donnie is fine."
April looked up from her phone, her blue eyes full of worry, "Casey, he maybe fine, i just need to be sure." She took off her bag, stashing it in the back of Casey's van. Casey observed her. April closed the van door and looked up at him, she saw how he was looking at her. "What?"
"Nothing, just dont go, Donnie is a highly skilled ninja he doesnt need help."
April eyed him, "I dont care how highly skilled you are, everyone needs help Jone, even ninjas."
Casey stared down at her, he sighed. "Im going with you at the very least, im NOT letting you go alone."
April smiled. "Company would be nice. Im sure Raph misses you, and im positive you miss that hothead."
Casey widened his eyes and a small blush crept to his face. "Who'd miss that idiot." he laughed, but April knew the truth, they both missed them terribly and now no more waiting around.
Time to take action.

Afternoon

Raph gazed at his wounded brothers, Leo having bandages around his eyes and Mikey around his arm. He frowned. "What do we do now?"
Splinter who was sitting in a chair by the far back window of the living room stroked his beard. "I am not sure my son, Leonardo you said Donatello has no memories of us?"
Leo shook his head, silently, ever since the incident he's been quiet, more then usual and Raph didnt like it, not one bit. Mikey rubbed his bicep. "If he doesnt remember us then how can we get him back?"
Raph watched Mikey as tears formed in those baby blue eyes of his. He looked down in anger. "Im leaving." He stomped to the door but stopped when his father voiced.
"Raphael stay in here! We must not proceed without a plan."
Raph growled in anger at his father. "What plan!? we've never had one! if we would of stayed in New York instead of running away none of this would of happened!"
Splinter stared at his fuming son. His ears laid back as he looked down. this was all his fault.  he did this. as if Leo was reading his fathers thoughts Splinter looked up when a hand was on his arm. Leo smiled at him. "Dont worry father, we hold nothing against you, ill go with Raph." The bandaged boy said. Mikey hopped up, with a wildly smile. "Ill be leos eyes! and Raph's guide! ill protect them Sensei!" He said, rushing over to Leo and hugging his arm. Raph frowned, he didnt want them to come,  they were already injured. "I dont need some wounded brothers to protect me." he growled, walking out the front door. He flung his hood forward, heading down the porch and making his way into the woods, though when he was close to the path he heard his name being called. It was Mikey and Leo, they were running towards him.
"What the heck are you two doing!?" Raph snapped.
Mikey smiled. "Going with you! come on man you cant expect us to be all depressing, whos got time for that!"
Leo nodded. "We got a brother to find."
Raph looked at the two and shook his head. "Fine, but Mikey if you start singing she'll be coming around the mountain, i will detach your other arm." He noted, walking into the path of the forest. Mikey giggled and held Leo's hand, guiding him.

Evening

Donnie stood near the alcove of the mountain, gazing at the scenery. "What are you thinking?" Esme asked, Donnie looked over at her and frowned. His eyes diverted to the ground. He was thinking about what that stranger had said. He was a creature like him, a turtle like him. Donnie? Was he really this Donnie person? "Esme....i dont know...who i am."
Esme looked at him, she gave him a small smile. "Mountain protector, our savor and hero" She looked over at the other two girls who were laughing and smiling around the fire. Donnie gave them all a look and blushed a bit. "I did nothing..."
Esme rolled her eyes. "Wrong, you did a lot, and for that we will repay you by helping you, if you want to find out who you really are." She had hope for his reply to be yes, she liked seeing that smile on his face, those big brown eyes filled with joy. She remembered that boy from the cabin, she had seen him smiling before,with those others, though since he was attacked, she hadnt seen it. Her goal was to make him smile again. She touched his forearm. Donnie blushed a bit more. "I do wanna find out, and i think that guy could fill me in, he was a creature like me,"
Esme nodded, "Then lets get started."
