Thank you for clicking my story. I know I already have another story going on but I have a writer's block right now. In the meantime, I've decided to create this story. It's been in my head for the longest so I've decided to get started with it (it won't be a super long story though). That is all :).
Disclaimer: I own nothing of TMNT
"So what do you think it is?" Mikey asked to break the awkward silence.
All four turtles were huddled together around the strange contraption in Donnie's lab. They managed to take it from TCRI while they were looking for spare machine parts. It was mainly for Donnie to help improve the security system around the lair, but then they stumbled across the machine. After a few minutes of debating, the decision was made for them to bring it back to the lair. Who knows what it could do?
Donnie finally snapped out of his thoughts when he realized someone had asked a question. Without taking his gaze off of the machine, he replied.
"I don't know, the structure of this contraption is very abnormal. I've never seen anything like this, it's beautiful...*Ahem* scientifically speaking."
"More beautiful than April?" Raph asked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Mikey made an overdramatic gasp, "Donnie's cheating on April with a machine made by the Kraang?! Dude I never knew you had it in you!"
Raph and Mikey couldn't help but laugh at their brother's embarrassment. Leo just rolled his eyes at the two's teasing. Donnie felt his cheeks flush and his body temperature start to rise.
"No one's cheating on anyone! B-besides I would never do that to someone as beautiful as April!"
The purple banded turtle realized what he said after receiving even wider grins from his brothers. After mentally smacking himself, he quickly tried to clear it up." I mean if we were together. Not saying that we are together-I mean not that I don't want be with her-WE'RE JUST FRIENDS THAT'S ALL!" He tried to hide his humiliation with a smile, but he failed tremendously. Raph smirked at his younger brother.
"Whatever lover-boy."
Leo was the quietest among all the commotion. He felt that they all needed to stay focused on figuring out what the machine does. There were endless possibilities (both good and bad) of what it was capable of. He knew they weren't going to find anything about it if they kept messing around. Like Splinter said, "Distractions can be a ninja's worse enemy." So as their leader, it was up to him to remind them to stay focused.
"Guys focus, we're not going to get anywhere if we keep joking around."
"We're not gonna' get anywhere if we keep staring at it either. " Raph groaned.
Mikey took this chance to butt in. "For once, Raph is right! We're not going to get anywhere by just staring at it so if we just push-"The youngest turtle was interrupted by his brothers yelling "NOOOOO!" in unison. They all glared at him angrily causing him to shrink in his shell.
"The LAST thing we need is anymore problems to deal with!" Donnie said while poking the freckled turtle's forehead. He started to calm down and suggested that he run some tests on the contraption to find out more information about it. Mikey was quick to protest."Aw come on! Where's your sense of adventure Don? We can easily test it by seeing what happens when you press it."
Mikey darted towards the machine in an attempt to press the button, only to be shoved out of the way by Raph. He yelped as he hit the floor. Once he stopped seeing stars spinning he shot Raph with an angry glare.
"For the hundredth time Mikey, no one's pressing any buttons so stand aside and shut up already!"
Raph brung his fist down to emphasize his frustrations but felt it hit something. A loud beep was heard throughout the room. The last thing they saw was a huge, bright light. The flash managed to stun them all causing them to loose consciousness.
OoOooOoo
About an hour later Donatello was the first to wake up. He was in a "seated" position on the floor with his head resting on a nearby chair. He groaned at the newly developed soreness all over his body. After stretching his arms he skimmed around the room. Something felt different. He looked down at his feet and gasped. His skin color was now a different shade of green and the bandages around his legs were now a lighter color.
Millions of thoughts raced inside his mind about what could've taken place. The possibilities were endless! The more he thought the more he started to tremble. He felt a headache start to form causing him to rub his temples. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a groan come out of the corner of the room. He stood up and walked over to the source of the noise and sighed in relief. Mikey was laying on the floor rubbing his head. To the right of him was Raph lying flat on his plastron.
Wait if Mikey and Raph are right here then where's Leo?
He scanned the room to find his oldest brother until his eyes met two feet poking out from behind a desk. He walked over to the turtle to see if he was okay but when he reached his destination his heart nearly skipped a beat. It didn't look like Leo, instead it looked like himself.
Was he dead?!
His question was answered by the slow rising and falling of the turtle's chest. The purple-banded turtle's eyes started blinking slowly. His eyes met Donatello's and narrowed.
"What's up with you Leo? You look like you've seen a ghost," it spoke in in a annoyed tone.
Donnie thought for a moment,"Wait I'm not Leo I'm-" His thought ceased when he sensed someone behind him. He turned around and was met with a confused Mikey. "What's wrong Mikey?" He asked his younger brother. Mikey didn't say anything but his facial expression changed into a frown.
"I'm not Mikey," he replied.
Donnie and his "clone" exchanged confused glances and turned back to the nunchaku wielder.
"What do ya' mean you're not Mikey?" the clone asked.
Before Mikey could answer his confused brothers they all heard a noise come from the far side of the room. The owner of the noise stood up to reveal to be their red masked brother, Raph. He noticed a piece of glass sitting on the table in front of him and picked it up. He looked down at the glass and gasped in horror. He let out a high pitched scream causing the other three to put their hands on their heads to block out the sudden outburst.
"I'M HIDEOUS!" he exclaimed.
(A/N: this part of the story is told using the body's that the turtles are currently in)
Raph glanced over his shoulder to see his other three brothers staring at him dumbfounded. "Guys you won't believe what just happened! I looked at this piece of glass and my reflection looked like Raph!" His words hardly had any space between them when he blurted them out. Donnie scowled and walked up to the shorter turtle.
"What's so bad about looking like me?! Why do you even look like me in the first place?!" he growled making Raph shrug in response.
Leo pondered for a moment until everything started to make since. The flash from the machine must've caused them all to switch bodies. They still kept their personalities after entering their new bodies and seemed to have the same mindset from before. "I think I can explain what happened," he announced, catching the attention of all three of his brothers.
"It seems as though the flash from the contraption over there caused us to switch into each other's bodies. We still have our same personalities and mindsets so the changes weren't too drastic. Judging by what I've seen so far; Mikey's in Raph's body, Raph's in mine, I'm in Leo's body and Leo is in Mikey's body."
I hope that's a good way to start this story off. If some parts became a little confusing just let me know. R&R (no flames please)!
