Epilogue

    My family, understandably, made a whole event out of me coming home. Cory and Aaron got a one-way flight to New York and for an entire week we basked in each other's presence and did everything together. I can't really complain since I thoroughly enjoyed it and seriously need that after what had happened.

"I love y'all." I whispered into my brother's chest as they wrapped me in a hug.

"And we love you Rach." Cory replied, hugging me closer.

    I sighed wistfully as I stared out of the window to my work. That was two weeks ago and my brothers were already back in Georgia. I missed them terribly but life must go on and that was a hard pill for my parent to swallow. It was nearing 10 o'clock which meant it was almost time for me to clock out. My parents 10000000% did NOT want me working nights for a long time after what happened but when I reminded them that I was 'kidnapped' during the day they didn't have much of an argument. Not to say they didn't try though.

    I hadn't heard from the turtles since that day and I could only hope that they were enjoying their own version of family therapy like I did. A small part of me whispered that they wouldn't come back but I ignored that voice. They said they would and I trust that they will at least hold up their word. If only to say goodbye. Sighing I shifted and looked around the café tiredly.

"Collins!" I spun to face my boss, Ryan. "Your side work done?"

"Yeah."

"Get out of here." He waved and I grinned, thanking him.

    Clocking out I quickly rush out of the shop and start my long track home. About 5 minutes into my walk I hear a unique sounding horn and spin to face a unique looking jeep with a custom turtle print paint job. Grinning I was able to see Donnie and Leo in the front seats. I jog over to them, the back door popping open to show Mikey and Raph. "Guys!" I laughed and leaned up on my tippy-toes to hug Mikey who hung out of the car to hug me. "Glad to see y'all are okay! What ch'ya been up to? How's Splinter?"

Leo laughed, "He's good, making a steady recovery."

    "Sorry we haven't been around Gummybear. Been doin some renovations to the lair. Even made a little spot for you in my room." He winked and grinned at me causing me to blush.

"MIKEY!" The brothers shouted.

"Ignore him, how have you been Rachel?"

    I shrugged, "Been alright, my brothers flew out to see me. Kinda, reassure themselves I'm alive and well." I laughed. "Had some good ol'fashined family therapy."

"That's good," Leo nodded.

I gave him a teasing grin, "So you drive now? Are you even old enough to get a license?"

    Mikey laughed and Donnie huffed, "Oh yeah!" Leaning back he casually gestured around, "I pimped this bad boy out! Got a 42-inch plasma with the NBA package, shaved ice machine, and a 7.1 digital surround sound." He had a smug grin on his face, clearly proud of himself.

    Laughing I let out a low whistle, "Now that there is impressive D. Maybe one day you can take me for a ride in it." A blush quickly set fire to his face causing me to giggle softly.

"Well hey," Leo shrugged, "No better time then the present. Want us to give you a ride home?"

I gape at him and grin widely, "Really?!"

"For sure!" Mikey cheered. "I even got a real nice song that's all cued up. It's special girl, for us."

"No, don't." Raph warned. "Don't do it."

"Come on Mikey!"

"No, no, no. Mikey you promised!"

    "No, I'm gonna do it." Music started to play and Mikey grinned, ignoring his brothers cries. "It's happening." He began to sing, "Imagine me and you~ I do-"

"Stop singin, right now!"

"I think about you day and night, it's only right~"

"Leo I'm gonna hit him!"

"Raph don't hit him-"

"I'm gonna start punchin 'em. I'm not kidding here."

    "To think about~" He held out his hand and I laughed, taking it as he pulled me into the back with him and Raph.

"3..2.. if I get to one I'm gonna-"

"The girl you love~ And hold her tight!"

"SHUT UP MIKEY!"

    I laugh as Mikey turns up the song and starts dancing, "I can't see me lovin nobody but you for all my life!!!" I clap as he continues to sing, "When your with me baby the skies will be blue for all my life!!" I join in and soon we're all laughing and belting out the lyrics horribly.

    I quickly shoot my mom a text that I had some friends pick me up and she said so long as I was home by midnight then I can have fun and to be safe. Grinning over at Mikey and Raph I let them know, "I'm yours till midnight y'all." Donnie and Leo turn to look at me with bright eyes, grinning right along with me. "Now, why don't y'all show me what this thing can really do?"
