Author Note: Ha, other one! This one stars Leo and Mikey. I know this is terribly cliche and all, but the guy has to be a total disaster at something. It probably doesn't help that I can relate...

Disclaimer: Don't worry. I don't own them yet. You all still have a chance.


"NO!" A scream of terror spilt through the Hamato residence. It had come from the kitchen which could only mean one thing...

The Food Slayer had struck again and do to the disaster zone being particularly large, had done his job quite way. "What?! What did I do?!" Even if he didn't mean it...

"Dude! How do you do it?! How is any one living person besides Raph capable of making this big of mess?!" The residence chef, Michelangelo, was giving the Food Slayer a piece of his mind.

"Actually have you seen your room-"

"Yeah, I've seen my room, but that's beside the point. You can't get enough destruction satisfaction from beating up Purple Dragons and Foot, so you take it out on my kitchen! What did it ever do to you? What did you do, Leo?"

"I don't need 'destruction satisfaction'." Leo said softly. "I was making dinner... you make it everyday. I thought I give you a break."

"Only making dinner?!" A little of the Mikey's anger faded away. Leo had only been trying to help him. Still, the kitchen! Only a tiny part of the anger faded away.

"What did I do wrong?"

"What are you trying to make?" Mikey said tiredly. He was the one who would have to pick up this mess later. Dinner had to be prepared for that.

"Mac and Cheese..."

"You. Messed. Up. Mac and Cheese." Mikey said slowly as disbelief replaced anger on his face.

"Yeah..." Leo said raising an eyeridge at his brother. Mikey's shoulders were shaking, and Mikey had both hands clamped over his mouth. "What? What did I do? It looks perfectly fine-"

That was too much for the orange-banded turtle, and he threw his head back and laughed. He pointed a shaking finger at Leo and let loose another peal of laughter. Tears began to stream down his face, and he laughed only harder as he stared at Leo's worried expression.

After a good solid ten minutes had passed, Mikey hiccupped to a stop. He ran a hand across his face to clear away the tears.

"You done?" Leo asked with his arms crossed with a look of amused irritation that only Leo could pull off.

"Just a second." Mikey coughed hard to get rid of another fit of laughter. He wiped a hand across his face to wipe away the smile.

"If your done with the hysterics, care to tell me what I did wrong?"

"Okay." Mikey walked forward to the destruction rubbing his hands together. "What did you do first after getting the ingredients?"

"I put them all together with the water."

"No good. Boil water first and then add noodles and then drain the water and then you can put all the bad boy ingredients in. Is that a spatula?"

"A melted one, yes."

"Alrighty then. You know, it's reassuring to know you aren't perfect at everything, Leo. It makes you almost seem human-er-turtle."

"I'm sure you'll keep me humble." Leo said with a slight smile. "Come on. I'll help you clean up. Maybe the Grand Master will tell me a secret or two."

"No, my student. We start with the basics! Before you can walk like a chef, you need to breathe like a chef. Let's start with boiling water. Mac and Cheese was a good idea."


What combination do you want next? I'm open for suggestions. Yes, people do mess up Mac and Cheese. Maybe not to the extent shown here, but it's possible.

Have a happy New Year everyone!
