Ann: PLEASE NOTE: Every chapter is a different story when Mikey is stuck on an island with someone.

Chapter One: Mikey And Raph

It was Friday morning and Mikey's alarm clock went off. He whacked it once to shut it off, but missed. He whacked it again and still missed. He repeated the process not bothering to take his head out from underneath the covers. Finally, on his seventh try from being frustrated, he sprang out of his bed, grabbed a baseball bat out from under his bed and whacked the alarm clock as hard as he could. The alarm clock smashed into pieces and Mikey sat on his bed looking at the clock confused. Great! Now I have to get a new one! he thought.

"Mikey!" he heard Raph calling his name.

"What?" Mikey replied.

"Come say good-bye to Master Splinter and Leo!"

"Why? Where are they going?" Mikey asked half-way down the stairs.

"Their going to this ninja place. Now hurry up! Your going to make them late." Raph pushed Mikey off the stairs and into the living

room.

Leo gave Mikey a hug good-bye. "See you Sunday."

"Sunday?" Mikey broke out of Leo's grip. "Your going away for three days?"

"Yes. It is no big deal," Master Splinter reassured him. "You will have fun with Raphael."

"What am I? Five or 15?" Mikey asked.

"You think I want to hang out with you for three days? Alone?" Raph glared at him.

"Alone?" Mikey echoed. "Where's Donnie?"

"He left around 5:30 this morning." Leo answered.

"Yeah. He went to this science convention thing with April." Raph added.

"When will he be back?" Mikey asked.

"Sunday." Leo repeated.

"What?!"

"It's an overnight convention." Raph said.

Mikey went over to Master Splinter. "I'd rather stay with Casey than Raph!"

"I am sorry, Michalangelo. But--" Master Splinter tried explaining.

"Then let me go with you!" Mikey pleaded.

"Again, I am sorry. You will just have to stick it out for the weekend. It will go by very quickly. You will see."

"Well, come on, Master Splinter. We don't want to be late." Leo picked up his bags and lead Master Splinter out of the lair.

"Bye! Have fun!" Raph called to them then shut the door. He turned to face Mikey, who was staring at him. "What?"

"Nothing." Mikey replied.

"Ok, then go watch TV or something. And don't break anything!" Raph went up to his room.

"I won't!" Mikey replied. Everyone thinks I'm a little kid this morning! Well, I'm not! Jeez! Mikey went into the kitchen to make himself a sandwich. Raph and I are probably going to hardly speak to each other this weekend! Mikey froze as he got an idea. Unless... Mikey ran upstairs to Raph's room. "Raph!"

"Have you heard of knocking?" Raph threw a couple of dumbbells onto his bed and crossed his arms against his chest.

"Sorry, but I have a great idea!"

"In other words, you have a bad idea?"

"No, it's a good idea!"

"Do I wanna hear it?"

"Yes."

"I probably don't, but tell me and quick. I wanna get back to my workout."

"Ok," Mikey started explaining. "We should go on a boat ride together!" Mikey smiled.

Raph stared at him with a blank expression.

"Good idea, huh?" Mikey was still smiling.

"Mikey, we've only been home together for 15 minutes out of three days. Don't make me slap you already." Raph replied simply.

"Oh, please?"

"I'll go if you can find a boat..."

"I already have one!"

"...What?"


"I don't know, Mikey..." Casey said.

"Please? It'll be good for me and Raph. Can we please use your boat?" Mikey asked.

"I thought you said you already had a boat?" Raph wondered.

"So did I." Mikey glared at Casey.

"Where did Casey even get the boat, anyway?" Raph muttered under his breath. "And why and when?"

"I'm sorry, but I just don't want her to get ruined. She's very special to me, and..." Casey stared at Mikey as he started getting a pout from him. "And...She's very...Um...Oh, fine! You can have her!"

"Thanks, Casey!" Mikey jumped up and down.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Just give her back to me on Sunday! And in one piece!"

"Yep...Uh-huh...Gotcha Bye! Thanks!" Raph and Mikey took the boat and left.

On the boat...

"This is fun, isn't it?" Mikey smiled watching the lake.

"Lots..." Raph turned on the boat and started driving away from the dock. "Now what?"

"Good question." Mikey got confused.

"Yep!" Raph smiled and said sarcastically. "This is going to be tons of fun!"


Raph was still driving the boat and Mikey was sleeping. Raph heard him snoring and couldn't take the noise any longer. He stopped the boat and started shaking him. "Yo, Mikey! I'm staring! Where'd you put the food?"

"Huh? Wha...?" Mikey blinked the sleep from his eyes.

"The food!" Raph shouted in his ear to wake him up. "Where did you put the food?"

"Over there..." Mikey pointed the table with the basket on it, still half-asleep.

"Thank you!" Raph said annoyed and walked over to the table to get something to eat.

Mikey stood up and rubbed his eyes. Once he opened them again, he saw an island straight ahead. Mikey glanced behind him to make sure he wasn't looking. I wanted this boat ride so we could have a great time together...We'd have an even better time exploring that island together! Mike tip-toed onto the driver's seat, started up the boat, and drove fast.

Raph tipped over. "Mikey! What the shell are you doing?!"

"There's an island up ahead!" Mikey yelled over the motor and waves. "Let's go explore it!"


Mikey got out of the boat. "Wow..."

Raph called to Mikey still on the boat. "Michalangelo, get your shell right back on this boat now!"

"But don't you want to explore this?" Mikey turned around.

"No!" Raph glared at him. "Let's go!"

Mikey started walking back to the boat disappointed but then he heard a noise. He turned around and started walking towards the noise instead. Which was inside a forest in the middle of the island.

"Where do you think your going?" Raph asked.

"Just hold on a sec..." Mikey didn't look back. He just kept on walking towards the forest.

Raph sighed and jumped off the boat. He started chasing Mikey into the forest. "Master Splinter really has to pay me when this is over!"


"Mikey? Mikey?" Raph whispered as he pushed a couple of tree branches out of his way.

"Raph?" Mikey asked.

"Mikey! I'm over here!"

"Come here."

"Where are you?"

"Do you have a light?"

"No. Why would I?" Raph answered still trying to push his way through to Mikey. "Where are you?" he tripped on a tree root and fell on top of Mikey. "Ow!"

"I'm...Right...Here..." Mikey grunted in pain.

"Sorry," Raph helped Mikey get up. "I thought it was day?"

"The trees are blocking the sun." Mikey replied.

"Jeez, Mikey! What's wrong with you? You were yourself on the boat, then you looked like a zombie walking in here, and now your acting like Donnie! What's--"

"Shhh!"

"...What?" Raph asked.

"Whisper." Mikey answered.

"This is not like you."

"I hear something."

Raph stood silent for a moment but heard nothing. "Come on," he grabbed Mikey's arm. "Let's just get out of here..."


Raph ran out of the forest. "Oh, light! Beautiful light!" he stopped and realized where he was and turned around to Mikey and glared at him. "Get back in the boat, Mikey. We're going home."

"I don't think that's possible..." Mikey stared at the lake.

"And I'm driving because your--What?" Raph turned around to look at the boat and saw it sinking. "No! Wait! Don't! Come back! What are you doing?" Raph started running to the boat. "Come on! What the shell did I ever do to you?" Raph got too angry causing him to throw a rock at the boat. Which caused the boat to sink even faster.

"Nice going." Mikey said sarcastically.

"Shut up! This is your fault that we're on here, anyway!" Raph snapped.

"My fault? Am I the one who made the boat sink faster?"

"Am I the one who made the boat start sinking?"

"Are you saying I made it started sinking?"

"Yes!"

"But I was in the forest!" Mikey protested.

"We both were." Raph calmed down to think about it.

"Man, that wasn't even our boat...Casey's gonna kill us..."

"Who cares about the boat? I care about us! I care about our lives! How are we gonna get off of here, huh?"

"Um..." Mikey started getting worried. "I never thought about that..."

Raph was about to yell at him again, but controlled his anger. "I'm sorry. I just want to go home. I'm sorry to say this, but I never wanted to go on this stu--This...Trip, anyway."

"Then why'd you say yes?"

"I didn't think you would be able to find a boat."

"Oh."

Raph glanced at the spot on the lake where the boat sank. "I guess we'll figure something out."

"Until then," Mikey said. "What are we supposed to do?"

"Try to survive."


Mikey opened his eyes staring up at a pink sky. Did I fall asleep again?

"Mikey! Wake up!" Raph yelled.

I guess I did... Mikey sat up rubbing his eyes. "What time is it?"

"6:45."

"AM?"

"PM." Raph sat down next to him.

"I guess I'm not gonna get any sleep tonight. I've been sleeping all day."

"Maybe, maybe not. We have a lot of work to do before we go to bed." Raph replied.

"What do you mean? What do we have to do?" Mikey asked.

"Make a roof over our heads, make a fire, find--"

"Ok, I get it. How are we supposed to make a roof?"

"Get a bunch of giant leaves, tall sticks, and glue them together."

"Oh," Mikey sighed. "How are we supposed to glue them together?"

"We could try wet sand. Maybe that'll work?"

"Yeah, but where are we going to find giant leaves and tall sticks?"

"The forest."

"It's dark in the forest. It's probably darker now than it was earlier. Do you have a light?"

"You already asked me that. The answer is still no."

"Then how are we supposed to get through?"

Raph was silent for a minute. "No matter what I do or try to do, I can always count on you to screw it up for me."

Mikey defended himself. "I'm not trying to screw it up! They are great ideas. But it's the truth. Would you rather think it all the way through now than getting stuck in that dark thing?"

"I thought I was with Mikey and not Leo?"

Mikey shook his head.

Raph smiled and stood up. "Hey--Didn't Donnie build a flashlight into our shell cells?"

Mikey stood up next to him. "Forget the flashlights! Just call someone to get us out of here!"

"We probably don't get service out here, though."

"Your probably right."

"So, give me your shell cell so I can use the flashlight." Raph stuck out his hand.

Mikey stepped back. "Why can't we use your shell cell?"

"Because I don't have mine."

"I don't either."

"...Like I said, no matter what I do or try to do, I can count on you to always screw it up for me."

"You don't have yours, either! So, you just screwed up half of it yourself." Mikey glared at him.

"Ok! Ok! Forget it!" Raph started pacing.

"So, what do we do?"

"Make a torch. Find two sticks, rub 'em together and make a torch for each of us."

"Oh, yeah...Great idea...Too bad the sticks are in the dark forest!" Mikey rose his voice and started knocking on Raph's head. "Hello?? Is your brain at home?"

Raph grabbed Mikey's arm and pushed it away. "Stop!"

"We have to think of something else."

"Alright, what do you think we should do then?"

"Swim back."

"...Clearly I'm the only sane one around here."

"At least I don't have anger issues..." Mikey muttered under his breath.

"What?" Raph turned to face him.

"Er, nothing. Let's just go in the forest and stay together. Maybe we'll find something." Mikey started walking toward the forest like he did when they first arrived on the island.

"If we can't see, how will we know what we found?" Raph asked, but Mikey ignored him. Raph sighed. "Here we go again..."


"Um, Raph?" Mikey asked.

"I'm here." Raph answered.

"Ok, did you find anything?"

"...No...I'm not even looking."

"Well, look!"

"How can I look when I can't see a damn thing?"

"Raph, this isn't working."

"No, really?"

"Let's go back."

"Which is where?"

"...I think it was this way? Maybe?"

"Your guessing."

"No, I'm pretty sure it was this way."

"Which way is this way?" Raph shook his head and was ready to hit Mikey over the head, but he couldn't see him.

"The way I'm pointing." Mikey replied.

"Right...And which way is that?"

"Can't you see my hand?"

"That was a stupid question..."

"Never mind. Just follow me."

"Where are you?"

"I'll let you know as soon as I find you." Mikey started walking around with his hands in front of himself reaching out for Raph.

Raph stayed where he was and waited for Mikey to grab him, but he felt nothing. He didn't even hear him walking around anymore. "Mikey?" he asked. "Mikey, are you there? Where'd you go?" Raph realized Mikey walked off without knowing it and Raph set off to find him.


"Raphy?" Mikey was still reaching for him. "Please answer me. I need to follow your voice. Hello? Can you hear me? Can you--Oh, my God! Your dead aren't you? Something's in here with us and killed you, right? Right?? Answer me! Well, of course you not going to answer me...Your dead! Oh, Master Splinter's gonna kill me!"


"Oh, for shell's sake, Mikey! Where are you?" Raph felt trees, leaves, dirt, rocks, he heard rats, snakes, and flies buzzing around, but no Mikey. "Ok, Mike. If you can hear me, I'm leaving. I'm going outside. I'm done playing hide and seek. See you outside."


Mikey pushed his way through a couple of tree branches and felt sand seeping between his two toes. He looked down. "Sand! No dirt! I'm out! I'm out!" Mikey pushed away the last branch and started praising. "This is wonderful! This is fantastic! This is--" Mikey looked around puzzled. "--Not the side of the island I first arrived on..."


Raph was sitting on the sand watching the forest waiting for Mikey to appear. "Where is he? It's 11:00! We have to meet up with each other soon. He better be looking for me, because I'm not looking for him! I'm not going back in that forest!"


"There's not point in looking for Raph...He's dead. Although, I probably should bring back a body." Mikey turned around to look at the forest and then realized how dark it just was and that it was probably even darker now. He turned back around and sat down watching the wind make ripples in the lake. "Maybe I'll go tomorrow..."


Mikey opened his eyes with the sun in his face. "Whoa...I wonder how long I slept?" Mikey looked up at the sky. "I wonder what time it is?" Mikey paused for a minute and then corrected himself. "I wonder what day it is?"

"Ow!"

Mikey stood up looking in the direction of whatever he just heard. "Who's there?"

"Stupid sticks! I'll kill 'em! I'll snap 'em all in half!"

"Are you lost on here, too?" Mikey asked but there was no answer. "Hello?" Mikey took a step forward and he saw a shadow behind one of the trees.

"Look, Buddy, I got twin sai blades and I'm not afraid to use them!"

Mikey smiled. "Raph! Your not dead!" Mikey ran behind the tree and saw Raph holding a pile of sticks that covered his face.

"What?" Raph dropped them. "I was dead?"

Mikey hugged him. "I thought you were! When I was looking for you in the forest yesterday I called out you name but you didn't answer so I just figured that you were probably dead or something and then I got scared and then I found my way out of the forest and then I was lost and then I--"

Raph pushed him away. "Mikey! Take a breath!"

Mikey, still smiling at his older brother, was gasping for air.

"And stop smiling. You look like a freak," Raph started picking up the sticks. "Oh, and another thing...This is a big island. That is a big forest," Raph pointed to the forest. "Don't ever going running off like that again."

"Oh, I won't! Believe me!" Mikey started helping Raph pick up the sticks. "Where did you get these, anyway?"

"It was light in the forest this morning. I went in to find you, but instead I found a wooded area and then I just grabbed as many as I could."

"Can we go make a fire now?"

"I say wait for tonight. I'm hot."

"What are we going to do before then?" Mikey asked.

"Make shelter." Raph replied.

"Can we fish first? I can't work on an empty stomach."

"How are we going to work?"

"Spears."

"Go find two spears, then. I'll start on the shelter."

"No. We have to make the spears."

Raph let out a big sigh. "Oh, boy..."

"Let's go on the other side of the island where the boat sank." Mikey started running away.

"If you run off and then get lost again, I'm not looking for you! Slow down so I can keep an eye on you!" Raph yelled then ,uttered under his breath, "And so that I can keep up." Raph started following him. "I'm stuck on a n island with my little annoying brother. I'm depending on him for survival. I'm gonna die..."


"Is this where the boat sank?" Raph dropped most of the sticks and puffed for air.

"Um, I think." Mikey scratched his head.

Raph rolled his eyes. "Yeah. You...Really...Can't...Work...On an...Empty...Stomach..." Raph was still out of breath.

"We need four rocks."

"Four? What do we need four for?"

"One for each of us to tie onto the sticks and then another one for each of us to shape the other rock to be pointed."

"Tie...Right. How are we going to tie the rocks onto the sticks?"

Mikey looked around. "Um, seaweed?"

Raph smiled then commented, "For a really stupid person, you can be so smart."


Mikey was still rubbing two sticks together to make a fire.

"How are you doing over there, Mikey?" Raph asked. It was 6:00 PM Saturday night. Mikey was trying to make the fire and Raph was catching fish.

"Nothing..." Mikey had repeated that same word over and over again for the past hour.

"No spark or anything?"

"If there was, I wouldn't have said 'nothing.' "

Raph shook his head but decided to keep his comment to himself.

Mikey stood up. "I can't do this."

Raph sighed. "Alright, I'll do it. Let me just catch this little booger right here..." Raph started glaring at a fish.

"Is that the same fish you've been trying to catch for the last 15 minutes?" Mikey asked.

"Shut up." Raph thrusted his spear into the water but missed. "STUPID FISH!!!"

Mikey started laughing a little but didn't dare show Raph that he was laughing at him. "We have plenty of fish. Just let it go."

"I deserve to kill it."

"I don't even know why it's still hanging around you if it knows your trying to catch it."

"It's laughing at me, that's what he's doing!"

Mikey smiled again but still kept his laugh silent.

Raph threw his spear on the ground. "I swear I will get that thing! But I guess I should make the fire first." Raph sat down and started rubbing the two sticks together. Mikey sat down next to him and started to watch. Raph glanced up at him. "What are you doing?"

"Um, watching. What does it look like?" Mikey replied puzzled.

"It looks like your doing nothing."

"Huh?"

"Why don't you start working on the shelter?"

Mikey thought about how hard it would be to make that giant thing and then he compared the hardness level to making the fire. "On second thougt, I think I'll make the fire." Mikey started grabbing the sticks away from Raph.

Raph started pushing Mikey away. "No! You didn't want to make the fire, so go make the shelter!"

"But I want to make the fire now!"

"You lost your chance!"

"Then I'll fish."

"We have plenty of that crap! Go started making the shelter!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"Because I said so!"

Mikey glared at Raph. "Your not the boss of me!"

Raph took a stronger grip on the two sticks. "Yes I am!"

"No your not!"

"I'm older!"

"I'm younger!"

"I'm stronger!"

"I'm strong, too!"

"I'm smarter!"

"I'm--" Mikey took a step back. "--Not falling for that."

Raph sighed.

"What's that?" Mikey looked at a part of the lake that was behind Raph.

"Probably a ripple in the water from a fish or something. Go make the shelter!"

"No, no, no...It's a boat."

"Great! Your know what a boat looks like! Now go make--It's a boat?" Raph whipped around and saw a boat heading their. "We're saved!"

"No, I think it's turning around."

"What?!" Raph stood up and started waving his arms and jumping up and down shouting for the boat to come to them.

"I'm just kidding, you know. It's coming." Mikey laughed.

"Then why'd you--?"

"I wanted to see you look like a monkey." Mikey smiled.

Raph glared at him and jumped on him. "You have caused me so much problems on this trip, you know! Do you really want to make it worse?"

"Raph, the boat's here!" Mikey squeaked since his was underneath Raph.

"I don't care! It can wait!"

"Mikey? Raph?"

Raph looked up as he heard a fimilar voice. "Leo?"

"What are you guys doing here?" Leo asked.

"What are you doing here?" Mikey asked.

Raph got off of him. "Yeah. I thought you and Master Splinter were going to a karate thing?"

"Um, w-we were." Leo stammered.

"Then why are you on a cruise ship?" Mikey asked.

"Yeah?" Raph agreed.

"Um, well...Ah, Master Splinter and I, we--Oh, boy..." Leo stammered.

"You really didn't go to that karate thing, did you?" Raph asked suspiously.

"No." Leo admitted.

"You ditched us??" Mikey screamed.

"We just wanted some time together. You know, father and son." Leo said.

"We're his sons, too!" Mikey yelled.

"Why did you even come here, anyway?" Raph randomly asked.

"The person who was driving the boat turned to stop here because one of the passangers heard a scream coming from this island." Leo explained.

"Really? We didn't scream." Mikey glanced at Raph making sure he wasn't lying by accident.

"The scream was 'stupid fish,' or something like that." Leo tried to think of what it was.

Raph and mikey looked at each other but kept their mouths shut.

Leo gave up. "I don't know. I just remember that it had to do something with fish. But enouh about why I'm here--Why are you here? And how did you get here?" Leo asked.

"You know what? I'm going to go say hi to Master Splinter. Ok?" Mikey slipped away and left Raph to explain everything to Leo.

"Ok, Mikey! I'll tell Leo and Master Splinter!" Raph called then smiled. "But you have to tell Casey about the boat!"

Mikey stopped dead in his track s and turned to face Raph. "Do you want to tell Casey? I figured that I should tell Leo and Master Splinter this."

"Um, I don't think so." Raph started walking to the boat.

"But--"

"Actually, you should be telling everyone. On account that it was your fault that this happened."

"But I should--"

"--Tell Leo and Master Splinter everything, I know." Raph finished Mikey's sentence. "But you either have the hard part in telling Casey but you don't have to tell Leo or Master Splinter, or you can tell Leo and Master Splinter and you can also tell Casey about what happened."

"Is there a choice where I can tell Leo and Master Splinter what happened and not tell Casey the story?"

"Nope."

"Can I just know what happened? Please?" Leo asked.

Raph turned to Mikey. "Well...?"

Mikey saw the food. "You can tell him!" Mikey ran off.

"Your telling Casey, then." Raph added.

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are!"

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are!" Raph started chasing Mikey and jumped on him.

"Um, guys? We're in public!" Leo yelled.

Raph and Mikey were on the floor and the food table collasped on them.

Leo turned to all the other people in the room who were staring at them. "They are not my brothers! I do not know who those two are! I have never seen them in my life! Their just a couple of bums we picked up on this island," Leo added to himself and buired his face in his hands. "Stupid stupid bums..."

The End!

Ann: Ok, I hoped you liked this part. There is another chapter and it'll be a different story, though. It'll be when Leo is stuck on an island with Mikey. Also, this part in the story:

"I'm older!"

"I'm younger!"

"I'm stronger!"

"I'm strong, too!"

"I'm smarter!"

"I'm--" Mikey took a step back. "--Not falling for that."

That was from an episode in the show Full House. I don't remember the episode, though. DJ and Stephanie were arguing. The stronger thing was actually supposed to be taller and shorter but Raph and Mikey are about the same height, so I changed it. R&R please!
