~The next morning in Hope's Perspective~

I was looking over the sleeping MikeStar. "Aww, he's sleeping..." I smirked as I took out a water ballon from my chest fur. "He'll love this." I snickered softly as I threw the water balloon at him.

(Water balloons, Mikey and Hope's favorite weapon of pranks!)

As it was coming towards him, his hand came up and caught the balloon! "Hehe..." Mikey laughed tiredly.

"What the fuck!?" I grew surprised.

"Nice try awesome girl." Mikey said as he sat up and threw the water balloon at me.

I dodged it. "Ha! Nice try! If you're trying to make me into a mermaid like Aqua, it ain't happening. I'm not a mermaid like her."

"Oh well." he chuckled.

"Sorry if I woke you up awesome man. I can't sleep." I sat on his lap.

"It's okay." he said as he wrapped his arms around me.

I sighed. "I was hoping you could cheer me up. I'm still upset about... You know, Aqua being in a coma."

"I know. Me too."

I looked down and growled. "It was my fault! I should've been there to save her!!" I teared up.

"It's okay Hope. It wasn't your fault, it was the Shredder who did this to her. I know she'll come back soon, just like Jimena did."

I teared up more and looked at him. "Can I c-cry on y-you..?" I stuttered as my tears went down my face.

"Okay, bring it in." he gave me a warm smile as he hugged me tight.

I started to cry for everything I could've done back on Earth. I wasn't able to help Aqua enough! I cried harder into Mikey's shoulder.

~Mikey's Perspective~

I was sad to see my awesome woman to be sad. I laid back down on my shell and rubbed her back as she was still crying. I wanted to cry too, just like when Shredder killed Splinter. I kept giving her back rubs and whispered soft words to her ear just like what Leo taught me.

I felt her sit up and looked at me. "Hey, do you feel better dude?" I asked her, giving her a warm smile.

"Yeah, I feel a bit better." she said as she laid on the bed next to me. "But..."

"But what?" I tilted my head a bit.

"A kiss would make it even more better~" she smiled.

I blushed a bit and smiled. "Okay." I leaned into her face and kissed her lips with passion. I felt her wrapping her arms around my neck, and I wrapped my arms around her waist. I held her close to my body as we kissed.

~A while later~

After our little make out session, I was still worried about Aqua. I looked back at the room that she was in. I looked back at Hope and gave her "the look" if she wants to see her sister. "Hope. Do you wanna see your sister?"

"Sure." she said as she was walking into the room where the tank was at.

I followed her right behind and saw poor Aqua Blue who was still unconscious in the water tank. "Poor Aqua Blue... My best older sister." I frowned.

"Oh sis..." Hope teared up.

I hugged her from behind. "It's okay baby. She's going to be just fine." I whispered in her ear.

"Are you sure?" she sniffled.

"I'm sure of it baby." I gave her a smile.

She smiled a bit too. "Thank you awesome man." she said as she gave me a kiss on my cheek and nuzzles against my plastron. "I really miss her."

"I know, me too."

"Let's go to the main room. The others might be there." she said as she left. "Feel better soon sis."

I looked back at the tank, and then rushed after Hope. After I came to her, she looked upset. I wonder what was going on with her.

~Hope's Perspective~

I growled and walked up to Fugitoid and Donnie. "Aye yo! When's my sister gonna wake up!?"

"We don't know yet. We saw her with Shredder remember after he killed Sensei?" Donnie said.

"But we need her!" Mikey said too.

"Calm down all of you!" Fugitoid said.

I snarled and growled at them. "You dorks better find out when and make it soon or else I'll beat your teeth it and makes some dents in you Fugitoid!!"

Fugitoid gasped. "Oh dear..."

"Hope, you need to be--" Leo started but I cut him off.

"Shut up!! You have your sister in a coma and worry!!"

"She's my girlfriend!!! You don't think I'm worried!?!"

"I've known her longer than you!! She's my sister, not my fuck buddy!"

"Fuck buddy!?!?! You listen to me, you little bitch--!"

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?!? How about I beat your ass right here!?!?"

I was about to tackle Leo until Mikey pinned me to the wall. He looked angry and sad. "CALM DOWN HOPE! THIS ISN'T GOING TO HELP NONE OF US, NOT EVEN AQUA!"

Everyone gasped at Mikey's motives. They've never seen Mikey be this upset before.

"M-Mikey..?" I said his name softly.

He sighed. "Please calm down Hope... I can't stand nobody being mad at each other... Not even you..."

I sniffled and looked down. "I'm sorry... I just really want Aqua back. I miss her so much..."

"I know, me too..."

"We all do." Donnie looked down.

I started to cry, shoved Mikey out of my way, and ran towards my room.

"Hope come back!" Mikey said, but I didn't stop.

I closed the door behind me and hid under my bed.

~Mikey's Perspective~

"Hope..." I sighed. I looked at the others.

"Damn..." Leo started.

"Was I too hard on her?" I was worried.

"No Mikey... I-I think you might've scared her." he said.

"I think I did scare her... Do you think she doesn't love me anymore?" I frowned.

"No, Mikey. She loves you very much. Heck, no one can calm her down like that except Aqua." Donnie said as well.

"I better go check up on her and apologize." I said.

"Ok, you go do that, Mikey." Leo said as he pats my shoulder.

"Thanks bro." I smiled at him and went to Hope's room to check on her.

I opened the door to Hope's room and looked around. "Hope?" I called her name. I saw a familiar tail sticking out of her bed. I went to her tail, crouched down, and pet it softly.

"Mmm~" Hope made a moan.

I blushed. "Hope... Baby, I'm sorry that I scared you."

She poked her head out of the bed. "It's okay."

"Are you sure? I didn't mean to. I just don't want any fighting or arguing."

Hope sighed and crawled out of the bed, and sat on it. "I know. I'm sorry. It's just... Leo gets on my nerves!"

"He's just stressed and worried about Aqua too. He misses her, the kids miss her too."

"Yeah I get it..." she looked down with a solemn face.

I had to cheer her up. "Will another kiss make it better?"

"Yes please."

I smiled. "Okay." I leaned over to her face to kiss her.

I felt her kissing back. I placed my hands on her cheeks and lightly stroked them. I heard her him several times until things got a bit... intense.

~Time Skip~

After all of that happened, we both fell asleep with nothing on us but a blanket covering us. I was glad that Hope forgave me. I was really glad.
