To Deny

You can't deny my love; it's a symbol of.

Do what any man does, to get back the woman he loves, you love, me.

You don't have to deny, desire not to put down the bottle,

You're a queen to me, too tense to hold the crown,

You can't deny the love I have, even when it puts you down.

Ten other perfect angels could not out due, you,

Can't Deny…by Arcassin Burnham.

Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT 2012, Nickelodeon owns them, but I own this story.

Summary: Metalhead had been cooped up in his lab for days, never be near with his beloved all because of three overprotective brothers are making sure he never leaves. If he can't be near her then he'll use another method, he will write her a poem.

Metalhead can never express his feeling on his face because he's made of metal but now, he really wishes he can express what his feeling right now, frustration and annoyance.

He got grounded! Grounded!? All because he wants to be with his beloved in the name of love.

He is now stuck in his lab and it has been days, and he can never leave unless Donnie is with him. All he can do in the lab is helping Donnie with his invention, sorting his books by category, alphabetically, and descending order of boredom.

It's driving him off of the wall!

And the worst part of it all, he hadn't been with his beloved Michelangela for days. He hadn't seen her and he missed her sweet, delicate voice. He wanted to see her angelic smile again and craving for her musical laughter. Alas, as long he's grounded in his lab her three older brothers will remain to watch over her from him. Their over-protectiveness has reached to the highest peak, watching over her like they are guarding the rarest treasure of all, and sending warning glare to Metalhead to never come close.

It's really straining his circuits from being away from his beloved.

Fortuitously, Michelangela always comes to the lab for him and Donnie to keep them company, but mostly, making sure Donnie's brain isn't too lost in the world of science because he tends to forget the most important things in life, to eat food and drink water.

Plus, her heart is as sweet as honey to give Metalhead the attention he really deserved, talking to him about the night patrol, the mutant they fought from old to new, she describes their battles with sound effects and altering her voice to make her sounds like one of her brothers or villains.

And Metalhead couldn't be any happier and listen to her wild story.

"And then we kicked Dexter Stinkmen's butt to the next state, with the help from two unlikely and least favorite persons Dogpound and Fishface. But then, doggy and fishy turn bad again and they were going to attack them but we are so dead tired that we can barely lift our weapon. So, we each walk home in separate ways, promising next time will fight. The end." She finished her story with board grin and proud face. Donatello who have been working upgrading their security system and listening to her rambling at the same time, he begins to say.

"Fascinating storytelling, little sis, but the correct name is Baxter Stockman not Dexter Stinkmen. Although, I'll give you a 4.8 for excelling on your creativity and sound effects." Donnie commented with an amused grin, and his eyes are still on upgrading his security system.

"I know his name, we all know his real name. It just so funny to see him get so riled up whenever we mentioned his name wrong, I swear his afro get poofed in double when he gets angry." She laughed lightly.

Don agreed with a chuckle of his own. Leave it to Mikey to lighten up the mood in his quiet lab.

After she enjoyed a good laugh, she turns to see Metalhead working by cleaning some unnecessary stuff to put them away. She continues to look at him with a sad face, poor Metalhead has been stuck in the lab for too long for reason she doesn't what or why. She can tell the poor thing is bored out of his metal mind. It makes no sense.

"Donnie?"

"Yes," Donnie automatically replied, still concentrating on his upgrade.

"Can you let Metalhead play a videogame with me, please?" At the mention of his name, Metalhead dropped a box of nails on the floor and his face metal face turns beet red. His precious sweetheart is so caring.

"I'm Sorry Mikey, but no, Metalhead's still grounded." He said as a simple fact. Metalhead slumped like he got kicked in the gut. Mikey frowned, completely disapproved of this.

"You're so mean. Metalhead is been cooped up in the lab and it's suffocating him. You're turning your lab into a prison!" Mikey stated as if she's a lawyer defending her client. Then her face turns into suspicion when she realized something.

Donatello flinch when he sensed a disturbance crawling right down his spine, it made him stop what he was doing and look up. He almost screamed when Mikey is suddenly is proximity close to his beak, and her eyes are suspiciously narrowed, directly at him. It's making him feel uncomfortable.

"Um! It's something the matter?" Donnie grinned nervously.

"Yeah, something is the matter. What is exactly did Metalhead do that you have to punish him for it? Hmmm." She leans in close to Donnie till her beak touches his beak.

Donatello starts to stammer unintelligently as if his mind put to stop. He can't tell her that Metalhead has a huge crush on her, which would be ridiculous when he thinks about it. But he knows his little sister, all too well. If you told her about Metalhead's crush, she would, in all likelihood, will go all sweet on him, and think how adorable Metalhead is.

It's not that he's worried she would go gaga over him, it's Metalhead! That he might take advantage of her! That's what his big brother defensive instinct is yelling at him.

So, to protect her he devises a perfect plan on what do in his predicament. He lies.

"He was leaking oil in the lab…purposely!" He spoke directly and fast.

Metalhead was appalled and horrified at what his inventor just told to his Maiden. He screeched on something that only Donnie understand, while Mikey didn't avert her gaze from Donnie. It's because what he just said and she was taken back by surprise.

"…What!?" Mikey is looking at him with the most skeptical face.

"Oh yeah, he really did it. I caught him doing it and that's why he's punished for his inappropriate crime." He then forced a smile to make her believe him, but, by the look on her face, he highly doubts it.

Mikey look so done, his cover-up is so lame it's sad; it's like he drunk a big cup of lame-o-sad.

As for Metalhead, he is screeching and stomping like a child with a tantrum with robotic gibberish for being so humiliated and utterly revolted by his inventor's lies.

"Metalhead would never do that, and two you programmed him to be smart and clean!" Donnie cursed in his head for not thinking it through, and Mikey just smirked in triumph. She got him.

Or so she thought. She was about to make him confess when this happened.

"Donatello! Michelangela! It is time for afternoon training!" Splinter notifies them from the dojo and expects them now without delay.

Donatello has sighed in relief, saved by Splinter in just a nick of time. But, knowing Mikey very well she will corner him once training is over but he will come up with one goo and convincing excuse so she won't second guess him again.

Mikey groaned in annoyance, she almost going to make Donnie spill his shell, but thanks to Sensei's interruption she will have to wait until training is over, and it'll last for three hours. She might as well go to the dojo or else Splinter will make her take an extra hour of training to do impossible kata, more than a hundred times as punishment.

She and her brothers learned her lesson the hard way in the past.

She huffs before she picks herself up and Donnie soon follows, but before she walks out of the lab she jabs her finger at Donnie's plastron with dark promising look placed on her face, Donnie's tail tucked under his shell in his moment of fear in front of a scary sister.

"Once training's over, I will make you spill it. I have many ways of making you squeal!" She said so evilly and her face and that devious smile will make you scream, run, and hide forever.

Donnie gulped really loud and Mikey left the lab with satisfaction look, and Donnie expels all the air out of his lungs.

"Why me? Why does it always me?" He mutters grumpily before he follows her to the Dojo. Maybe he can rack his brain to come up with solution…Maybe he can sneak out of the lair; he heard the sewers in Florida are nice in the time of year.

Donnie has left the lab which means he left Metalhead all alone grumbling and still mad, never in his program live been so utterly degraded. Sure, his beloved didn't laugh at him but he still feels soured.

Well, at least his inventor will get what for from Michelangela by annoying him so much that she won't stop till he yields. There's a bright side here.

However, he is still trapped in this dark and silent confinement for the 6th day. He is so bored that his gears are slowing down, and he misses hanging out with Michelangela. He is bored and miserable, he can't leave but he wants to be with his pretty maiden so the question is, how?

"Hey, guys!" Metalhead heard a faint feminine voice coming from outside of the lab, and he knew who it is. It's April, the creator's secret crush.

Maybe he should take a peek, just a peek won't hurt and he is bored. He opens the lab door just slightly and making sure not to make a sound. He can see through the gap, and find Donatello standing very close to April as the human girl gave him a small friendly smile to her tall turtle friend.

"Ha heh, hey April." He clears away his uneasiness and starts to pose and sound cool to impress April by placing his fist on his hip, eyes forward, a confident smile, and playful pointing his finger with a wink.

"Hey April, how's it going?" His silvery suave coolness will sure to make April fall for him or, at least, comment on how cool he is. But, he only made April laugh a little and not seeing his true motive of his action.

"I'm okay, thanks for asking, Donnie." She replied before walking right past him to sit down on the couch, and Donnie's confident demeanor has been deflated and the guru sulked for another unsuccessful to make April fall for him.

Metalhead was watching and felt a tiny bit sorry for his creator…tiny, tiny bit. That's what he gets for not letting him be with the one he loves. He continues to observe as April took out from her backpack a thick journal and her laptop. She opens her laptop and begins typing something and Donnie sits next to her, and April spoke.

"I hope you don't mind me staying here for a while. I have an English Literature assignment, and my aunt is out with her friend so I told her I'll be at my friend's place. Being alone in the house is rather boring and I'll be able to finish my assignment when I'm with you guys." Donnie smile. Happy feeling warmed its way to his heart to hear his sweet Chinchilla, love to hang her with him…By the way, she didn't even say that.

Anyway, Donnie got an idea, he'll help her with her assignment, and then they will bond and spend most of his time with April. In his head, he thanks the God from above for giving him the time and moment to be with April.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" April smile in appreciation.

"Yeah thanks, my teacher wanted us to write a poem."

"A poem?"

"Yes, we require writing a poem with a controlling metaphor (the likeness or connection between two things—i.e., life and love—should be carried throughout the poem) or with at least three metaphors from the same context. A number of words are limitless and it's due by Monday." April then sighed in annoyance.

"So much for a lazy weekend, I was looking forward to catching a few extra Z's." She added and pouted and Donnie couldn't help but blush on how cute April when she pouts.

He quickly clears his throat and got his blush under control. Then, he smiles politely as he willing to give her a helping hand.

"Don't worry I'll help you with your assignment and if we finish it sooner, you'll be resting with no worry. After all, you need your beauty sleep." It made April look at him with no expression on her face and Donnie look like a deer caught in the headlight when he realized what he just said to her.

"NO, WAIT! That's, that's not I meant. No, I, I, I mean I do mean what I said because you are beautiful! No, no, I mean yes!" April watches Donnie sputtering like crazy in bemusement and a smile.

While Donnie is trying so very hard to correct himself Metalhead who has watched the whole thing has just given him a perfect idea.

If he can't be with his beautiful maiden, he will give her the next best thing.

He'll write her a love poem.

Two days later.

Metalhead is still in his lab, still grounded, and still miserable…Actually, to be more accurate, pretend to be miserable.

"I'll be right back, Metalhead. I'm going to make lunch, you stay here and behave." Donnie strictly commanded and gave him a look of don't try to do anything funny while he's away. Metalhead peeped dejectedly as a yes. Donnie nodded and glad to see his robot is cooperating smoothly and he didn't whine about it, he is finally learning his lesson.

With that, he left his lab to make a light sandwich.

Metalhead waited for another minute and when he deemed it safe he trudges his way to Donnie's desk. He looks at the door and hears of any sound of Donnie's coming but things are quiet which means he's good to proceed.

He pulls the middle drawer and inside filled with tools and equipment that Donnie made out of junk and Kraang parts. But, he is not looking for tools or anything because he has one thing, in particular, he kept it hidden from Donnie.

The poem he wrote in secret for the past two days is finished and he hid it in the drawer but he sticks it onto the top where Donnie could never think of finding it.

He carefully pulls out the piece of paper from its hiding place and begins to re-read his work. He peeps as in proud of his achievement, He could just imagine the look on Michelangela's face she'll make, and what she's going to say in his head.

Inside of Metalhead's head:

Metalhead was wearing the best-looking suit from Armani; he's on his knee as he waits for his sweet and beautiful Maiden to finish his poem.

As for Michelangela, she is wearing a dress fit perfectly well for her body and shell. She is wearing a long prom dress of Disney Cinderella Forever Enchanted Keepsake Gown; the glittering blue dress really brought the light of her skin, hugging her figure so perfectly that is showing off her curve and increasing her beauty.

Then, Michelangela begins to smile. The fondest and most beautiful looking smile he ever was seen and she is, without question, an angel from above. She stares at Metalhead with so much love and adoration in her eyes, all for Metalhead and she said.

"Oh Metalhead, what you just wrote is the most romantic thing you have ever given me." Then, her expression grows fonder and kneeled to Metalhead's eye level and she places her hands on each of his metal cheeks as Metalhead peep twice.

"You know something, Metalhead. I always knew you are handsome, charming, and so romantic but I was shy because of how awesome you are that I…" Metalhead has softly placed his finger on her lip and then something remarkable but yet the strangest thing has just occurred.

Metalhead has spoken in very deep, rich, and charming voice that you can only imagine.

"My beautiful Michelangela, they are many things I want to say to you but," he, then, wrapped his one hand on her waist and one hand on her shell, and then he spins her down so close to the ground and his metal lips are close to her lips as he added.

"Let our feelings flare with a kiss." As he said it he was rewarded by Michelangela's breathtaking smile and she puckers it up her lips with her eyes completely closed and Metalhead so wishes to smile or smirk in glee but getting his first kiss with his sweet maiden is so much worth it.

He leans in to claim those soft lips so he can make his and her first kiss a moment to remember for the rest of times.

"Metal…Head?!" The sound of his creators broke out of his fantasy and he found himself leaning into nothing and holding onto nothing, in fact, he looked like he's holding a ghost in his arms, and he turns very slowly as he faces his creator holding his coffee. Donatello's expression is most certainly uncertain of what he makes of this. He just entered his lab about two minutes ago and he watched Metalhead is talking to himself or beeping to himself that only Donnie can understand him.

He knows, for sure, that he is fantasying his baby sister. He was going to lash out like an angry wild animal but it was soon diminished it when things get weirder when Metalhead was making kissy noises. He never ever thought that a robot could make kissy noises, it's…anomalous.

Both Donnie and Metalhead have stayed in thick silent for who knows how long and it's getting so awkward it's unbearable. So, Donnie broke the silence by clearing his throat and said.

"I think the isolation in the lab has really messed up your Visual C++!" he remarked with pointed eyes and Metalhead is steaming with embarrassment. It's true, steam is coming out of his metal neck and making a whistling sound.

Donnie sighs and shakes his head at his robot's strange behavior, but perhaps the Kraang technology is so advanced that he had thought from the moment he activated Metalhead that he would act and talk like a Kraang but it seems when he adjusted and added a few things that it developed human emotions. Up until now, it still amazes Donnie.

But for now, he doesn't want to deal with Metalhead. He has a nice warm coffee in his hand and the aroma is too inventing to bypass his caffeine pleasure.

Donnie just wants to relax with his coffee and no work for today. Just spending his relaxing afternoon, he sat on his work desk as he placed his coffee on the desk and begin relaxing. But not before he glances at Metalhead and he is glad that his robot has stopped being weird and just stood there like…uh, well, like a robot.

'Oh well, as long he's here he won't cause trouble.' With that thought, he begins to relax as he inhales the good and out with bad ones.

Metalhead watch his creator's body begin to sink into his chair, he is relaxing but Metalhead is not. The poem he wrote for Mikey is in that desk and his creator is right in front of it in which he can't get it. If his creator finds out about his poem he'll take it away from him. He needs to get his poem out of the drawer without alerting his creator's relaxation.

But what he needs is some sort of distraction.

Metalhead is calculating any possible plans that could work and not one of them could work till he got disturbed by his creator's groaning and he's sounded like he's in pain. He looks up to see Donnie is massaging his neck but he's having a hard time reaching to the pained area, in which, let out a frustrated sigh, and this, give Metalhead a brilliant idea.

Donnie tried again messaging his neck but when he leans back the pain just doubled. He lets out a huff of irritation, how can he relaxes when he has a bloody neck pain electrifying him whenever he moves. Just when he thought he can never relax and his mug of coffee will not help him as well, when suddenly cold metal hands touched his shoulder made him tense in surprise and by the coldness, before he knew what's going on the hands starts to move around his shoulder and he instantly melted. Metalhead is moving and pressing very gently with his hands and using his thumbs to message Donnie's neck and Donnie is moaning in utter bliss. Donnie can feel the pain is subsiding and his body is turning to jelly.

"Thank a lot, Metalhead. Oh! A little to the left, oh, oh, yes." Just hearing his voice turn slurry is exactly what Metalhead wanted, his creator looks blissfully relax and he can snatches the poem easily.

First, Metalhead spins the chair Donnie is sitting on so he can never see what he's about to do but Donnie is too far relax to notice anything by the sound of his moaning. He removed his hand but not before he summoned his third hand that came out from his shoulder, a skeleton-like metal hand took its place and begin message Donnie's shoulder. Once that's done, Metalhead used his free hand to open the drawer very slowly and quietly as possible.

Metalhead is keeping turning his head back and forth to pull the drawer very carefully and, at the same time, to see Donnie if he heard anything but thankfully he didn't, so far so good.

The drawer is now fully opened and he slides his hand inside to top surface of the drawer till he feels the texture of a paper then he pulls it out of the drawer.

Bingo, he got it!

Metalhead had done it; he got his poem with ease and with no trouble. Metalhead had single-handedly saved his paper of love.

"Metalhead! What's that in your hand?" Aw, sewer apples, he completely forgot about Donnie.

He must've let go of his hands the moment he lets out his victory outburst. He turns to face Donnie with a questionable and suspicious look on his face as he stares at the paper that's in Metalhead's hand.

Donnie's suspicion grew the longer he stares at the paper and then he turns to stare at Metalhead and his eyes narrowed making his eyes darken with intensity.

"Metalhead, I don't like repeating myself. What's in your hand?" Donnie asked in dangerously low tune and Metalhead cursed in his head.

Metalhead can never say anything to his creator and Donnie is growing impatient with him. So he did the most logical thing he can think of.

Outside of the laboratory, Leo is on his way to Donnie to fix the toaster that he broke for the fifty-eighth time. Leonardo can take down countless Kraang, bring down mutants, holds his ground against the Shredder, and lead the team to victory. And yet, when it comes to making toasts it instantaneously gets fried the moment of contact.

Leonardo believes that thing is possessed and it destroys itself purposely just for the sheer of joy to see Leo get rebuked by Donnie and Master Splinter for unceasingly wrecking the toaster. Leo sighs tiredly and prepares himself for another scolding from Donnie he hoped that Donnie is in a better mood once he explained once again that he didn't do it and the toaster explodes on its own. He knocks on the door and then opens it.

"Hey, Donnie, could you look at the toaster and before you jump to the conclusion I didn't destroooAHHHHH!?" When he looked up and screamed was because he saw Donatello flying at high speed of a torpedo and he's hurling toward Leonardo with a scream of his own.

Leonardo was too late to move out of the way as Donnie collides right onto Leo and roll into the center of the living room. Raphael who happened to be sitting on his favorite seat in the living room reading his favorite comic book and he didn't react at all when his brothers are groaning in a horrible pain of feeling their bones crack.

Raphael remains the same as he flips a page. It's not like he didn't care he just used to all the craziness that he used to it. After Raph finished reading the page he put his comic book down on his lap and he looks at them with an impassive face.

"Okay, what is it now?" He inquired like he always asks many times before whenever one of his brothers had done something really annoying and stupid that ruin his perfect peace. The two lying in pain of his brothers did not answer to him right away but they did point their fingers at whatever is behind him that raises his eyebrow in question but still he turns his head around than his head raise just a bit to meet a levitating Metalhead looking down at him with his pupil-less eyes and he is holding a piece of paper in his hand and that raises more question for Raph. Donatello is regaining his conscious and trying to the blurs from his eyes, he keeps blinking till he regains his sight and then he gasped.

Metalhead has the poem…METALHEAD HAS THE POEM…AND RAPH IS WITH HIM!

"RAPH, METALHEAD WROTE A POEM TO MIKEY, STOP HIM!" Then, in instant, Raph begins to emit the aura of danger and rage like you can see a sea of shadow surrounding Raph like a veil and he is not the only one. Donnie was looking at Raph with a pale face when suddenly he got flipped by Leo when he stood up and he too emitting a dark aura like Raph and he drew his swords.

Leo and Raph are slowly engaging to Metalhead with an intense focus on one thing, the piece of paper that he has in his metal hand. They look like big and mean predators cornering their prey with the intention to shred him to pieces.

Metalhead calculated his predicament, calmly, watching his opponents carefully as he has predicated their first move they're going to make and he is prepared for them but he must wait for the right time to strike. Leo and Raph are drawing near and they feel super confident because Metalhead hadn't made a move yet, thinking their scary faces has finally made an effect on Metalhead. The robot is frozen with fear so now they get to have their tasty revenge.

However, it looks like they haven't learned their lesson about the consequences of over-confidence.

The silence thicken, their eyes narrowed, their focus is over 200%, they are pulsing with power as Leonardo and Raphael bend their knees and they jump at Metalhead but Metalhead is ready.

A little moment ago, Master Splinter is in his usual afternoon drinking his tea with Michelangela that been prepared by her with cinnamon tea cookies to munch with. Drinking tea with his daughter always warmed his hearts without fail; it brought peace and contentment to his soul even his tail is swishing lazily.

The energetic girl turtle is always ready to jump around with boundless fun to keep her mind and body occupied with play and thrill but that doesn't mean she can't sit down and relax and have a cup of tea with Master Splinter and munching her delicious cookies she made. That's a bonus.

"It's a new recipe I found but I changed it a bit." Mikey begin her conversation with a smile and she sips her tea, Master Splinter nodded completely listening with a small smile on his face.

"I see and they are excellent, Michelangela."

"Thanks, Master Splinter." She replied to him gratefully as they both let the serene hush consume them. This is their moment to just enjoy each other's company of a Father and Daughter time. It is their favorite time and it could never change even if the years can go long. Then let it be long if it means to stay by each other's warmth.

This moment is so perfect that they hoped they last forever…But that moment shattered when a sound of yell and the sound of breaking coming from the living room and it caused both Splinter and Mikey to startle in surprise and then, soon after, their surprised expression turn into an annoyance. Mikey loves her brother with all her heart but they can be such baka most of the time. Splinter resisted to sigh but he did stand to see what's the commotion is all about this time with Mikey following him. He slides the door open and the sight he's greeted was to be expected and unexpected. The expectation is the sofa is flipped over o is the television but luckily it' not broken or Donatello would've thrown an angry tantrum, he sees his boy are holding their fighting stance and they covered with bruises and a look of determination with a promise of vengeance, and the unexpected is the opponent is Metalhead and he is hovering over them with a bright eyes of determination that he can't afford to lose to them. Splinter is slightly impressed of their resolve but the chaos they inflicted on their poor innocent living room must not go unpunished.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Splinter's booming and commanding voice have stopped every single one in their place; in fact, they are all in mid-air and each of them are posing a position to attack, Leo was going to jab his fingers aiming for Metalhead's neck, Raph readied his kick to knock Metalhead's head off, Donnie had his wooden staff raised up high and it looks like he was going to bring down on top of Metalhead's head, and Metalhead is, however, has his hands extended to block the attacks from every direction one on his right and left and even he sprouted an extra hand from the top of his head to block Donnie's attack.

Mikey wanted to laugh so loud at the weird predicament, but, by the look of Splinter's stiffed stance and wearing a frown of disapproval so she held it in.

"Well, you kindly explain to me why you all brawling at each other that disturbed my tea time with my daughter?" The turtle brothers and Metalhead have all descend to the ground and they all posed a stance stiff with their arms stay firm on each side with fisted hands with their shell straight but their eyes are not looking directly at Splinter but they are closed and had their heads bend down as they feel responsible for disturbing their special bonding between father and daughter. But how on earth are they going to explain this to their master and father?

"Leonardo!" Splinter pointed at his eldest son as he noticed him flinched at his name being mentioned, he stepped forward and his mind is reeling fast.

How is he going to explain this to Master Splinter?…Maybe something like this "we apologize for destroying the living room, Master, but the only reason we did that was to stop Metalhead from delivering a love letter to Mikey." That would have been funny as it sounds much more than hard to believe.

He, then, turns to look at his father only to flinch when he saw a frown on his face; clearly, he's becoming intolerant with waiting. He better says something or he will face in a much worse punishment. That's when he got an idea and it's a sacrifice he has to make but it cans grantee to work. He just has to tell him about the toaster that he destroyed (in reality, the toaster destroyed itself and put a blame on him again.) Then he got into a fight with Donnie then Raph got involved because he likes to brawl and Metalhead was involved too, to save his inventor. Then Master Splinter will never know about the poem. It's a perfect plan.

"Well, you see, Sensei. It actually started with," suddenly, just when Leonardo trying to tell Splinter about the broken toaster. He was cut off by Michelangela that made his heart stopped.

"Hey, there is a letter right next to your foot, Sensei." Mikey noticed the piece of paper and went to pick it up and then she noticed her name is written very beautifully and very clean.

"Oh! It's for me!" She said it out loud she opens the letter.

The brothers were too late to stop her now, she's going to read Metalhead's poem and it's going to get very weird and they could feel anger bubbling hot when Metalhead is snickering and winning too.

Once Mikey opens the letter she begins to read it but as she reads it the brothers and Metalhead got stiff, waiting, and nervous. But then, Mikey's face changes to a big confusion like her face scrunched and her eyes narrowed as she tries to make out a word but she can't.

"Um? I'm not sure if this is for me or for Donnie because I can't understand a single thing." And the boy plus robot all exclaimed.

"What!?"

"I think it's a code and it's repeated with only one word. Here listens, Beep Beep Beep Beep beep Beep Beep beep…the rest seem to go on and on."

That was so unexpected that they're jaws dropped almost to the ground. The robot is clearly smart as Donnie so they assumed that Metalhead had written something cheesy and romantic like "your eyes are beautiful as the ocean." Or something, but this, this is totally out of the blue and may I like to add they are feeling really stupid right now, especially, when Master Splinter is looking at them with one eyebrow.

"Leonardo! Was this letter is the source of this…catastrophe?" There is nothing that goes past Splinter, he is too smart to figure everything out and Leo's mind stopped working because he has no idea how to answer to this.

"Your silence confirms everything. Now then, you, Raphael, Donatello, and Metalhead are going to clean this mess and after that, the Hashi for a week!" Splinter exclaimed and he turned around back to the Dojo and Mikey followed him.

"Bu-but!"

"Sensei, that's unfair!"

"Wait, Sensei."

"BEEB BEEB!" The boys and the metal robot began to protest all at once till Splinter said.

"Do you want it to make it two?" And that's shut them up.

"Good. Now, start cleaning and I'll be expecting you four in the Dojo. Come Michelangela, let's continue our tea."

"Yes, Master Splinter…Sorry, guys." She is giving the pity look before she disappears into the Dojo leaving three turtles and one robot dejected.

Donatello turns to glare down at his robot for putting them into this situation while Metalhead doesn't care or flinch from Donatello's glare. All he's feeling it's being crushed and feeling very nonsensical. He completely forgot that Mikey doesn't understand his codes.

Metalhead's Mission: Writing a poem to Michelangela is a total failure.

I really had fun writing this chapter and I hope you guys had fun too. See you all next time on Machine Can Love.
