(In the kitchen sat Mikey, with a bored look on his face)

Mikey: Man, sensei's warning of this punishment was pretty mundo clear, but I guess I was just too thick headed after all. What a concept, me not seeing the consequence of getting a midnight snack of pizza.

(Mikey had last night slipped in the kitchen to steal a slice of pizza, but had been caught by Splinter. He'd been warned of stealing away more food for himself, but didn't take much notice to it. Splinter punished him with being lonely in the Kitchen he loved to sneak into so much for a whole day. He was going to get food in the morning for which the other turtles could feast on as a semi reward. Mikey didn't care at first, but now, it got pretty boring.)

Mikey: I never thought being in the kitchen so long would be a BAD thing.

(Meanwhile, Splinter travels back home with groceries that are astoundingly different from his usual packs of sushi)

Splinter: Pizza, with many special and diverse toppings. A treat I'm sure my students will take pleasure in. Now, to quickly go back down without being seen.

(This was hardly any feat, seeing as Splinter was a master of the shadow techniques)

Splinter: To think, I was once human, and didn't even need to hide. It gives me a weird feeling.

(He turned at the regular sewer corner, nearing the lair of his four children)

Splinter: However, I'm very grateful for the bringing about of my four sons. *sigh* Perhaps I shall let Mikey out of his punishment early. I would seem rather rude to keep him shut off from his brothers.

(When closing in on his home location, Splinter noticed a strange presence around him)

Splinter: Funny, it feels as if I'm surrounded by some type of darkness. I see, however, no apparent danger. How odd.

(Splinter walked inside the lair, still wondering what he'd felt.)

(Meanwhile, however, the Technedrome was both curious and eager.)

Shredder: Krang, shouldn't they be back by now? If they're teleporting through time, can't they just come back right now?

Krang: Listen, if you actually think those two idiots knew what TIME to come back, you're an idiot! They can hardly remember their own birthdays.

Shredder: But I told them what day and year to come back by! They MUST'VE understood me!

Krang: Yes, but did you tell them what TIME to come back, as in hours and minutes?

Shredder: Erm, I never thought of that.

Krang: Exactly. You never really think, huh Shredder?

Shredder: OH JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!!!
