Adventures with the Microwave

Leonardo awoke one morning to the excited yells of his youngest brother. Knowing Mikey, it was nothing. However, against his better judgement, Leo went to investigate.

As usual, Mikey was in the kitchen. He was staring at something in the microwave with wide eyes with a silly grin on his face.

"Mikey, what are you doing?" Leo asked sleepily, yawning.

"Yeah! Go little dude!" Mikey yelled, punching the air. Then, his face expression changed from one to excitement to devestation. "NOOO! Little dude, you failed me!"

"Mikey, what are you talking about?" Leo tried again as Mikey opened the microwave door.

The orange-masked turtle took a plate out of the little oven and on it was…well, it looked like…

"Mikey, did you get sick and then–" Leo gulped, getting a little queasy "–and then microwave it?"

Mikey made a disgusted face and said, "EWW! That's nasty, Leo! Where'd you get an idea like that? You've been watching way too many horror movies, bro." He threw away the…whatever it was on the plate into the trash can.
"Then what was that?"

"What was…what?" Mikey asked innocently.

"The crap you just threw in the trash! It looked nasty!"

"What? Have you never seen nuked Peeps before?" Mikey asked, putting two yellow marshmallow birds on the plate, facing each other.

"Why are you nuking Peeps?" Leo shot back, slapping his face.

"I'm making them have wars. Have you never heard of Peeps wars?" Mikey stuck a toothpick in each bird, probably where the heart would be.

Leo suddenly realized something. "Since when do we have Peeps? We don't like them. Not even you!"

"Since I got April to buy us some," Mikey answered simply, putting the Peeps in the microwave. "And they are soley for the purpose of nuking!" Mikey pushed the button on the microwave and gestured to his brother to come over next to him.

Leo walked over and watched with Mikey. Mikey's eyes widened as the Peeps started to blow up and the toothpicks pointed more at the other Peep.

"Yeah, c'mon, Peep!" Mikey yelled at the treats.

Leo smiled slightly and shook his head. Oh, the things his little brother could come up with.

Then, the Peep on the left's toothpick touched the Peep on the right.

Mikey's scream of triumph made Leo jump. "YEAH!"

The youngest turtle bounced up and down, pumping his fists.

Leo stared at him, kinda freaked out. He started to walk away when he could've sworn a lightbulb went on above Mikey's head.

"I just thought of something, Leo! You're gonna love this!" Mikey yelled, running to the fridge.

Leo sighed and leaned against the counter. Mikey wouldn't let him leave until he was done with whatever he wanted Leo to see.

Mikey came back to the microwave with a bag of grapes in his hands.

Leo looked at him quizzically.

"Don't be fooled by first impressions, bro!" Mikey warned, getting out a cutting board and knife.

He took a grape out of the bag and cut it in half so that a little bit of the skin was holding the two halves together.

Then, he opened the microwave door, threw away the nuked Peeps, cleaned off the plate, and put the grape on it. He gave Leo a mysterious grin before putting the grape-laden plate in the microwave.

Mikey watched the grape with rapture for a few seconds with Leo by his side.

Then, unexpectedly, the grape sparked. Leo jumped back, but Mikey's mouth just went into an 'o'. Leo went back to looking at the grape and was pretty sure his face mirrored Mikey's by the end of the grape's life.

"Whoa!" Leo said, turning towards Mikey.

"I know! Isn't it totally radical?" Mikey asked.

Leo nodded.

"Let's do it again!" Mikey said, preparing another grape.

When Raph came into the kitchen an hour and a half later, the two turtles, masked with blue and orange, were staring at something in the microwave, with a bag of grape stems, with all the grapes nearly gone, and the trash can was overflowing with grapes.

"Do I even want to know what's going on?" the red masked turtle asked.

When he didn't get an answer, he just shrugged, got an energy drink from the fridge and walked out of the kitchen, leaving the other two to just stare on.

A/N: The things with the Peeps and grapes really do happen. They're pretty cool. You should try it. Nothing will explode, I promise. ;)
