"Let's take a water break apparently some of us need it." Leo said eying Mikey. Mike just sighed knowing he would have to once again watch his brothers enjoy their water while he poured his out in the alley directly beside them. But as he was walking back over to the alley he was confronted by Don and Leo who were giving a stare that said 'We know something's up.' Mikey just shrugged it off and stepped around them only to be followed to the edge of the building. "Uh bros I read about this thing about personal space and I think-""Mike what's wrong with you?" Said Don cutting him off. "Well Raph said that-""I'm being serious Mikey are you sick?" Asked Don moving in closer. "No! Don't you think I would have used that excuse to get out of this hot weather?" Said Mikey. "Well if it's not that what is it?" Said Leo butting into the conversation. "I guess I'm just having an off day." Said Mike nonchalantly well that and the fact that the ground could melt under our feet right now as I speak!" Said Mike trying his best to change the subject ever so carefully which for once actually worked! "Huh I hear you there, but still if you just focus on the task at hand you will find that you don't notice the heat as bad." Said the all knowing Leo. "Hm I never thought about that Leo ill have to remember that for another day." Said Mikey mentally grinning he had just successfully tricked his older brothers. "Well I guess we can head in for the night." Said Leo already picking his stuff up.
"WAIT!" Shouted Raph. 'Oh no.' thought Mike as he waited for the jerk to finish what he was going to say. "Let's race first! Whoever gets to the 24th block street building first wins." Said Raph smirking. "Hmmm I don't know Raph…." Said Leo. 'Please say no, PLEASE SAY NO!' Thought Mike desperately. "Ok but then we head in got it?" "Got it" Said Raph smirking all the more. "Alright then let's go!" Said Leo lining up at their usual starting mark. Mikey sighed and got in his spot but half way there he heard a scream.
"What was -wait up!" Mike said trying to catch up with his brothers who were already jumping down to the alley that most likely filled with either the PD's or foot. 'Great I could barely spar with my bro's, now I got to fight purple dragons?!' Mike thought as he confronted his first enemy barley dodging what would have been a hit to the leg by a bat. (Although Mike fell as he did dodge the bat.) Mike got up and was about to strike when suddenly he was overcome by a huge wave of dizziness 'oohh man what the shell? He didn't hit me did he? Well I guess that would have felt more painful…but still!' Thought Mike as he got ready to take another swing. "HYA!" 'Hm well at least I got one down!' thought Mike happily as his brothers finished up the rest, there were only about 7. "Well good job guys! Looks like we better head in now." Said Mikey wanting desperately to get back to the lair and end the bet so he could get his game.
"But what about the race?" Said Raph obviously not going down without a fight. "Well…. I guess I did promise, plus it would be nice to get some air before we head in for the night." Said Leo. "ALRIGHT! 1…2…3…GO!" Shouted Raph already running on 2. As Don and Leo ran side by side only feet away from Raph who was currently in the lead Don said "I don't know what's weirder Raph actually pumped about a race or the fact that Mikey is losing really bad right now" Upon hearing this Leo just smiled "Must be a full moon." Don laughed "Guess so!"
Mikes P.O.V- 'Stupid Raph! He did that on purpose!' Thought Mike he stumbled on the 7th building to his destination. 'Man not only am I losing but I don't even think I can finish! I have to though; Raph would just laugh at me later for giving up to easy. Just a little…..more…. when did the world start spinning? Wow… I think I better lay ….down….' thought Mike as he didn't really lay down more like fainted!
Main story- Meanwhile his bro's where just now finishing the race with Raph first, Leo second and Don third. As the three caught their breath Raph smirked, "So where's Mike?" Don and Leo looked taken aback, they hadn't even noticed yet! "Um I have no clue he was right behind us!" Don exclaimed. "HA! I bet that bonehead gave up and went back to the lair!" Said Raph laughing proud of himself for coming up the bet to begin with. Leo and Don just gave him the strangest looks "What are you even talking about?" Said Don. "Egh ill explain later but right now I have to go catch up with Mike and gloat!" Said Raph already sprinting away. Don looked at Leo and just shrugged and followed Raph to see what was up. But seven buildings later all three of the brothers stopped short at the sight they were meet with. Mikey was sprawled out on the ground. "MIKEY!"
