"Shove it down Raph's throat!" Mike suggested. Leo and I looked at Mikey like he was crazy.
"Mike, you do know that we are trying to take Raph's temperature, not suffocate him…right?" Leo asked.
"Or try to make him eat it," I added.
"I know," Mike said. Does anyone know why he suggested that then?
"Leo," I called. "Maybe we could hold it under Raph's tongue while Raph sleeps?"
"That might work," Leo said after he spent a few minutes thinking it over. "Mike, I want you to sit down and not interfere in any way, shape, or form, got it?" Mike gave Leo a thumbs-up. "Don, and you hold Raph still, just in case?"
"Sure," I said. I went over to Raph and held his arms and part of his plastron in place. Leo went over to Raph's mouth, seeing how Raph sleeps with his mouth parted, and he slid the thermometer in. After a few minutes, Leo removed the thermometer and narrowed his eyes as he read it.
"Don, can you read this and tell me what you get?" Leo asked as he handed me the electronic thermometer. I took it and read the number. Right then I did a double take. How was this possible?
"Maybe we should take it again," I said as I gave it back to Leo. For some reason, the thermometer was reading over than average. Which was odd seeing how Mike didn't have a fever, yet.
"Do you think you could check it out first?" Leo asked. "Because Mike came out normal."
"Hey!" Mike yelled.
"You know what I meant," Leo said as he rolled his eyes.
"I don't think tha' I do," Mike said, testing his luck.
"Do you want me to cook breakfast along with dinner?" Leo threatened. Say No!
"Depends, is breakfast cereal? Wait…can you make that!" Mike said with a grin. Leo looked at Mike with a look that said, "You are skating on thin ice".
"Will do," I said as I started to look for where the screws were. After unscrewing the lid and removing it along with the battery, I began to tamper with the different wired and connections. In a matter of minutes, I found out that it was in perfect working condition. "Nothing is wrong with it Leo." I handed it Leo.
"Odd, so Raph really is past a fever and has the opposite now," Leo mused to himself.
"Told you I was normal," Mike said.
"Actually, you told Raph that when we were five," Leo said as he shook the thermometer to hear any loose screws. I already checked, sure I hadn't had any sleep for a while, but I am not slipping in my work.
"Same thing," Mike said. "Hey Don…ACHOO…what's for dinner?"
"I just barely made lunch," I said.
"But I'm hungry!" Mike whined.
"I already told you that I was making dinner," Leo said as he looked at Mike.
"You weren't joking!" Mike yelled with fear.
