Mikey had always been the prankster of the family. He was the one who could make you smile, even when you were crying. He always seemed to know what to say just to cheer you up. But sometimes, things got out of hand…

One day, Mikey was bored. Dangerous situation: when he is bored, he goes to others to help him not being bored. And if they don't want to play (Raph) or are too busy with something else (Don and Leo), he finds something to do for himself…
Most common result: not good…

So, after Mikey went to check with all of his brothers to see if anyone wanted to do something with him, he decided to go into the sewers to skate a little. This was an excellent way to stop being bored and to lose some of his eternal energy at the same time. He went to Donnie to tell what he was going to do and he took off.

He just loved skateboarding. He felt so free, like he could do anything! Sometimes, he actually believed that he could fly… Then he fell and realised that gravity was still stronger than him.

The second Mikey left, the three left over turtles gave a collected sigh. It gave such a peace and rest. Everyone could concentrate on what he was doing. While Don was working on his laptop on a new upgrade, Leo and Raph were training together in the dojo.
'It's nice to have Mikey out for a while', Raph said when they took a break 'Otherwise you never get some silence around here' 'That's true', Leo agreed 'but not for too long. When Mikey is gone for too long, it becomes a little… too quiet.' Raph nodded and went to the living room to watch some TV. Leo just went to the lab to see if Donnie needed any help.

In the meantime, Mikey was having a great time. He loved doing tricks he had learned from Raph and Leo. But now, he was just inventing his own tricks. After an hour, he stopped to catch his breath. When he looked around, he tried to find out where exactly he was in the sewers.
Once he knew, he continued to his favourite part. It was quiet a distance from the lair, but to Mikey, it was worth the walk.
The tunnels were so smooth, you could not only use them as a half pipe, but you could even make complete loops if you wanted. In other tunnels, the walls had little holes in them. You could fall and hurt yourself pretty badly (Mikey knew from experience…)
Once he arrived, he smiled and started to make some loops. This was his little secret, he had never told any of his brothers about this place. He doubted if they had ever found this place themselves. For one time, he knew something the other didn't. While he was making some loops, he heard a strange sound.
It sounded like cracking….
WAIT A MINUTE!

Mikey stopped and looked at the ceiling: it started to break! How is that even possible? Mikey thought. But he didn't get a lot of time to think about it. Two second later, the ceiling fell down on him. He still had time though for one last thought: Ow shell!

It had been two hours since Mikey had left the lair. Raph and Leo had been watching TV while Donnie had been pacing trough the lair with his shellcell in his hand. 'Don', Raph said after a while 'if you don't stay still I will make you!' Don stopped and gave his brother an irritated look. 'Well, excuse me for worrying about Mikey!' He replied. Leo walked over to Donnie and put his hand on his shoulder 'You know him, he probably just forgot about the time. I'm sure he will walk right through the door any moment now'. Donnie looked at Leo: 'you're probably right. But there is something not completely right about this' 'Leo's right', Raph joined in 'you know Mikey. And even if there are trouble, he's a ninja. He can take care of himself'

But the moments became minutes, and the minutes became hours. And still no sign of Mikey.

Everyone was worried and shared the same thought. But it was Raph who said it out loud:'Where the heck is Mikey?'
