While Donnie was out scavenging for parts, you decided to clean the Lab. You got out your t-phone and played your music collection, humming along with the songs. Then your favorite song came on, and you started to sing.

Stronger, by Kelly Clarkson.

"You know the bed feels warmer,
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color,
And do the things I want.

You think you got the best of me,
Think you had the last laugh.
Bet you think everything good is
Gone.
Think you left me broken down,
Think I'd come running back.
Baby you don't know me, cause you're
Dead wrong.

What doesn't kill you makes you
Stronger,
Stand a little taller,
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter,
Footsteps even lighter,
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're
Gone.

What doesn't kill you makes you,
Stronger,
Stronger!
Just me, myself and I.

What doesn't kill you makes you
Stronger,
Stand a little taller.
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

You heard I was starting over with someone new,
They told you I was moving on, over you.

You didn't think I'd come back,
I'd come back swinging,
You tried to break me but you see,

What doesn't kill you makes you
Stronger,
Stand a little taller.
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I alone.

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter,
Footsteps even lighter.
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone.

What doesn't kill you makes you,
Stronger,
Stronger!
Just me, myself and I.

What doesn't kill you makes you
Stronger,
Stand a little taller.
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

Thanks to you I've got a new thing
Started!
Thanks to you I'm not the
Broken-hearted!

Thanks to you I'm finally thinking
About me.
You know in the end
The day you left was
Just my beginning.
In the end...

What doesn't kill you makes you
Stronger.
Stand a little taller,
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter,
Footsteps even lighter.
Doesn't mean I'm over when you're gone.

What doesn't kill you makes you,
Stronger,
Stronger!
Just me, myself and I.

What doesn't kill you makes you
Stronger,
Stand a little taller.
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

What doesn't kill you makes you,
Stronger,
Stronger!
Just me, myself and I.

What doesn't kill you makes you
Stronger,
Stand a little taller.
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
When I'm alone."

You smiled to yourself as the song ended, when a loud crash sounded behind you, making you jump and whirl around. Donnie was standing there, his mouth agape, arms hanging limp by his sides, scrap metal and spare parts by his feet. You stared at him for a moment as you deciphered the situation.

"You heard me sing?"

He nodded, and a small smile grew on his lips.
"I've never heard anything like it."

"Don't say anymore, I know how bad I am. I didn't thi-"

"No no! I mean it's beautiful! You have a wonderful singing voice!" He said, rushing over to hug you, tripping over the scrap metal. He fell, bringing you down with him, and smiled down at you as you propped yourself up with your elbows.
"You really do." Donnie whispered, pressing his lips to yours.

Raph walked in and cleared his throat.
"'Scuse me for interrupting, but I need Donnie for a moment." He said when you and Donnie parted quickly, scrambling to get up while blushing madly.
Donnie nodded and kissed you cheek before carefully stepping over the spare parts.
