~they were removed the morning after.~

*Machias helped Splinter clean up the workstation.*

There, that should be the last of it...

Sp: Thank you, child. Your shoulder should heal completely in a day or two, and then we shall begin your reconditioning .

Thank you Splinter....and again, i'm sorry for what happened last night. I should have been more careful about my surroundings...Never should have trusted Raph....

Sp: *turned, lifting her face to look straight into his.* No child, you are not at any fault for what happened last night. I am not upset with you. What is disappointing for me to know is that my sons were responsible for the deceit. I dealt with each of them accordingly, and they have hopefully learned their lesson.

*She looked back downward, her face turning deeper colored again.* But what about--

Sp: *Splinter raised a hand, silencing her objection.* What happened last night is in the past. *he looked at her with quiet understanding* Yes, it was a bit...unusual, but do not let it get in the way of what is important. Do you understand me, Machias?

Yes...the past is in the past. Look to tomorrow...

*Splinter put a hand on her shoulder, and nodded. She smiled to herself and closed her shirt back up.*

*Kali and Raph just stare at each other for a few minutes more*

Raph: Okay, I get it. Are you going to forgive me?

I don't know Raph, I honestly don't.

Raph: Ever? I mean, you have to forgive me sometime.

Maybe, but this changes a lot. I may forgive you, but it's gonna take a lot more before I'm able to trust you again, Raph. Now please just leave me alone.

*Raph sighed in defeat and left the room. Man, not even Splinter's lecture had hurt that bad. And he only had himself to be angry with. He went into the dojo to do some venting*

**Machias Banshee** · 04-18-2002, 11:22 PM

*Machias, Mike, and Master Splinter came out to the living room, where they could hear the heated conversations.*

Oh dear, it doesnt sound good, whatever it is...

**Kali** · 04-18-2002, 11:25 PM

*Raphael stormed by on his way to the dojo*

**Machias Banshee** · 04-18-2002, 11:37 PM

*Machias frowns at Raph as he passes them by. She can tell that Kali is more ticked than her usual self, and goes to see her.*

*knock knock* Kali...?

**Kali** · 04-18-2002, 11:41 PM

*Kali opened her door, still in dark glasses* Greetings fellow victim, is there something I can help you with?

**Machias Banshee** · 04-18-2002, 11:44 PM

A lot better now....

*Machias steps inside and closes the door.*

Kali, what's wrong with your eyes? did you injure them or something, or do they get sensitive during a hangover?

**Kali** · 04-18-2002, 11:47 PM

*shrugs* My eyes are always sensative. I'd rather not talk about it.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-18-2002, 11:53 PM

*Machias knew she was hiding something. She had that same feeling she had when Kali had been following her in the inGen building.*

Kali i know its that thing with your eyes turning black...you dont have to tell me what's wrong, but i am here if you need to vent your frustrations.

**Kali** · 04-18-2002, 11:57 PM

*Kali balled her hands into fists* I'm just so damn mad at Raph for pulling that stunt. Can you believe that I actually thought he would stop it before it got too far? I just couldn't talk him out of it.

And damnit, he spiked my drink, too! I gues I got what I deserved.

But what hurts most is knowing that I may never be able to trust him again.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-18-2002, 11:59 PM

No, that's just his way of showing his 'fun side'...Just like how i pull a lot of stupid stunts. You guys were distrustful of me whenever i had pulled something like that, but look at us now. dont worry, i'm sure he'll come to his senses soon...

~Man, this speech sounds familiar....~

**Kali** · 04-19-2002, 12:01 AM

Yeah, I guess you're right. But I'm still mad at him.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-19-2002, 12:03 AM

*snicker* Kali, we're ALL Mad with him right now. Splinter especially didnt like the way Raph treated us, you saw that! his bros look ready to kill him, and...look at us! trust me, hon, its normal for Raph to act like a doof...

**Kali** · 04-19-2002, 12:06 AM

Well I KNOW THAT! I'm his girlfriend for heavens sake! I know him better than any of you do, except maybe Splinter.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-19-2002, 12:07 AM

Isnt that what you love about him? his uncanny sense of humor?

**Kali** · 04-19-2002, 12:12 AM

Actually I like his bad boy attitude, but I guess that goes along with it. *groans* It would be easier to forgive him if he wasn't being such a jerk about this.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-19-2002, 12:17 AM

Well...I guess after all the trouble i gave him, I deserved it. You, though, i dont think he had any evil intentions...

**Kali** · 04-19-2002, 12:21 AM

No evil intentions? Then what were his good intentions, pray tell? I told him I've never drank and didn't want to.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-19-2002, 12:24 AM

I dont know. that's a question only he can answer. Go and speak to him, it will do you good...

Mike: Man, she soulnds like Splinter more everyday, dont she? *smirk*

*bap*

Like i was saying...go and talk to him. Keeping these energies pent up too long can cause many problems that could become too large to handle on your own...

**Kali** · 04-19-2002, 12:29 AM

*sighs* You have no idea. Okay, I'll go talk to him.

~But I'll do it tomorrow, I need to get to bed.~
