Chapter 10 - Friday

"Donny! Don! Look!" Don rolled over in Raph's hammock, groaning from boredom. His older brother busted into the bedroom, gripping something small with a sheet draped over it. Don pushed himself up, standing up to meet Leo. The sheet was stained with grease and other grey stains of God-knows-what, and Don wrinkled up his beak.

"What is it?" He asked, pinching the corner of the fabric and lifting it up. Leo smacked his hand away.

"Go to the living room! I'm going to show everyone in there!" Leo beamed again and darted out, leaving one very confused Donatello standing alone.

When Donatello finally managed to make his way to their living room, he was met with the confused expressions of his remaining two brothers.

"So Leo-NERD-o got to you, too?" Raph grunted, earning himself a nudge from Mikey.

"Happy, Raph. Be happy." Mikey tutted. "It's Donny's job to be a pain in the-"

"Mikey!"

Donny rolled his eyes at his brothers' antics and sank down next to Raph, who casually placed his arm on his shoulder. Donny snorted and shrugged out from under him, turning his attention to his blue-banded brother setting up a table in front of them.

"Uh, Leo, can this be quick?" Mikey piped up, holding up a finger. "I have to go finish meditating." Raph and Donny exchanged horrified looks and scooted away from him. Mikey scowled.

"Who are YOU and what have you done with my little brother?" Donny asked, earning another scowl from Mikey.

"Hey, it's not THAT bad," he retorted, crossing his arms. "If I can't do anything fun, that's pretty much all I can do!"

Raph nudged Donny in the plastron, leaned over, and whispered into his ear. "He doesn't know I know this, but he falls asleep in the lotus position. He slouches too much; besides, the snores are a dead giveaway." He winked, and Donny laughed.

"I'm sure it's a blast, Mikey," Leo frowned, turning everyone's attention to him. He reached out and obsessively straightened a loaf of bread before beaming and clapping his hands together.

"Oh, no..." Donny whispered, groaning softly. "I know exactly what he's going to do..."

"Bore us to death?" Raph grunted, getting snickers from his orange and purple wearing brothers.

"Oh, please tell me he didn't... Not the toaster!"

"Gentlemen and Raphael," Leo said, pointedly ignoring his red-banded brother. "All week, I have been working on a very special project this past week, and it is finally completed. Behold, the new and improved, TOASTER!" Leo ripped off the sheet covering it, and Donny gave a whimper at the sight.

"Not the toaster..."

The "new and improved" toaster as Leo called it, had metal pieces sticking out everywhere, as well as a crappy blue paint job. Most of the paint had dripped down to the bottom of the toaster, so streaks of grey and black were visible on the sides.

"Where did you even get the pieces for that thing?" Raph wrinkled up his beak.

"You totally called it, bro." Mikey whispered, giggling at the overly green look on his brother's face. Donny glared, looking as intimidating as he could manage with a sick expression.

"Anyway," Leo interrupted, an annoyed look on his face. "This toaster is made from OUR toaster." Donny's face went pale. "I used The Idiot Turtle's Guide to Repairing the Toaster book to make it!"

"Leo," Donny's voice was overly calm. "REPAIRING the toaster, not making an entire NEW one!" Leo waved a hand nonchalantly, as if he didn't care what Donny had to say.

"Don't worry; it wasn't that hard. I googled it, too!" Leo beamed, stroking his creation lovingly.

"Google doesn't know everything!" Donny hissed, placing his hands over his eyes.

"Neither do you!" Leo retorted. Mikey and Raph howled with laughter.

"He got ya there, bro!" Raph giggled, holding his sides with laughter.

"OHHHHHH SNAP!" Mikey literally snapped his fingers, only infuriating Donatello more. Mikey hopped up. "Don't make me snap my fingers in a Z formation, hip rotation. Elbow, elbow, wrist, wrist, boy you just got DISSED!" He fell back into his seat, laughing harder than ever. Raphael fell onto his side, on top of Mikey, but he was too busy crying tears of joy to care.

Donny glared at Leo, who looked at him apologetically. 'Sorry,' the blue clad turtle mouthed, and Donny huffed and crossed his arms.

"So I wanted to try the toaster, to see if it works!" Leo called out loudly, picking up the loaf of bread.

That stopped the youngest turtles' laughter.

"You want to... What?!" Mikey shrieked, jumping up and dashing behind the couch. He peeked up over the pillows with wide eyes. "It's gonna explode!" Raph gulped, flipping backwards and landing beside Mikey behind the couch.

"For once, Mike... I have to agree." He said seriously, and Mikey beamed. "Leo, I honestly don't think you thought this through all the way..." The laughter was gone from his eyes and Mikey's eyes.

Donny stretched out on the couch. "Oh, please; it's not going to blow up. It's just not going to work!" He yawned as it he were bored. "Go ahead, Leo. I wanna see this."

Leo looked down at the toaster and hesitated, looking back up at Donny with mixed emotions. Slowly, he picked up a slice of bread.

"WAIT!" Mikey shouted, freaking Leo out and making him drop the slice. "Hold on!" He ran from the living room, leaving three confused turtles sitting and standing around. He was back in moments, brandishing two bike helmets. He tossed Raph the pink flowery one before slipping the orange one on himself.

"Give me that one!" Raph scowled, gingerly holding the helmet as if it would bite him. "It's PINK!"

"It's either pink or your life. Your choice." Raph screwed up his beak in thought before jamming the helmet onto his head. Donny's lips twitched at the sight.

"Are you all ready now? Should you go get snacks, take a bathroom break?" Leo said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

Mikey jumped up again. "Popcorn sounds good! I'll go make-" Raph grabbed his shell and yanked him back down to the ground, making him wince and rub his sore tail pitifully.

Leo nodded his thanks at Raph before picking up the slice of bread again. Taking a deep breath, he slipped it into one of the thin slots. So that's what that was! Donny couldn't help but exclaim. (Not out loud, of course.) Leo leaned over the toaster and slid down the button.

"And now we wait..." He said nervously, tapping his fingers into the table. Mikey and Raph slunk down behind the couch even further, and Donny looked as bored as ever.

Minutes passed, and with each ticking second, Leo grew more frantic. Shifting, humming, tapping his feet, biting at his nails, the works.

"How long is this gonna take?" Mikey whined, standing up and resting his elbows on two of the pillows.

*DING*

Mikey shrieked and dove back behind the couch, orange mask skewed, next to his brother. Raph was in some sort of duck and cover position. Yet when nothing blew up, both he and Raphael peeked back up warily.

One lightly toasted slice of bread was poking up innocently from the slot, much to the surprise of EVERYONE in the room.

"I don't believe it!" Leo gasped, grabbing the bread and dropping it instantly because it was hot. He stuck his fingers in his mouth. "It actually worked!" He mumbled around them.

"I don't believe it," Donny murmured. "It actually WORKED!" Raphael's jaw was hanging open, and he took off his pink helmet.

"I have no words," Raoh muttered, sighing and putting his head in his hands.

"AWESOME!" Mikey yelled. "You finally got something to work, Leo. That's great!" The youngest turtle ran out from behind the couch and up to Leo. "Fantastic!"

Leo looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes. "... You want to try it out, don't you?"

"Yup!"

Leo sighed. "Fine. Don't break it though!"

Mikey waved his warnings away. "Yeah, yeah."

Donny groaned. "I'm going back to Raph's room. This is boring!" He stood up and left, and Raph, feeling out of place without his mini-me, followed his older brother's lead.

Mikey shrugged and grabbed the loaf of bread and pulled out one slice. "Who needs them? Am I right?"

Leo sighed. "I suppose you're right... Just this once."

Mikey smiled up at Leo, and he returned the favor. Following Leo's instructions, he managed to put it in and not blow it up.

"Nice job, Mike." Leo praised, patting his brother's carapace. "Now you just gotta wait. Do you want some jam? I think April brought us some last time she came to visit." Mikey nodded, and also turned to the kitchen.

"DON'T mess with it, okay?" Mikey nodded, and Leo ventured into the kitchen. Mikey sighed; waiting was never his strong suit. And with the loaf of bread lying out innocently, he couldn't help but get an idea.

And an idea from Michelangelo is never good.

"DUCK! LEO, DUCK!"

That was the first thing Leo heard walking into the living room...

And also the last.

"Leo, Leo, wake up! Leeeooooo!" A foggy Californian accent sounded out, and Leo forced himself to open his eyes.

"Ugh, what happened?" He groaned, rubbing his head and feeling a large bump right above the temple. He blinked up blearily, and a blurry green blob knelt down in front of him.

"...You kinda got shot with flying toast..." The green blob known as Michelangelo rubbed the back of his head.

"I got shot... with flying toast?" Leo blinked again, trying to clear his vision.

It didn't work.

"You said it!" Mikey chirped, sounding a little TOO perky considering his older brother could have gotten killed because of a toast.

Leo rubbed at his eyes. "Wha- but... How is that even possible?"

Mikey chuckled nervously. "I may or may not have stuffed the toaster full with the entire loaf of bread and it may or may not have exploded."

"... You ruined my TOASTER?!" Leo shrieked, scrambling to pull himself up but falling back down.

"Accidentally, more or less." Mikey gripped Leo's arm and helped to hoist him up.

"Mikey, as soon as I can fully see you; I'm going to kill you!" Leo snapped, letting Mikey lead him away.

"Looking forward to it, dude." Came the reply.

Leo smiled. Oh, Mikey.
