Wake Up Call
Chapter 2
Peace and quiet filled the air, the only sounds that could be heard underneath New York City were the trickling of the sewer water, light snoring and the occasional bed spring creaking as someone rolled over. Everyone was peacefully sleeping and having pleasant dreams. Everyone except one lone turtle, who had snuck into the main lounge room and was fiddling with the stereo system. He was fiddled with the cords and various parts of the CD player. He opened the CD deck to find Leonardo's relaxation CD, he put that aside as he slipped in his chosen disk. Then he turned the volume up and pressed the play button.
The sound of the Chicken Dance filled the air, vibrating off the concrete walls and furniture. The plumbing shook, the ground vibrated and the sound of loud thumps were ignored.
Raphael rolled over in his bed and yelled abuse, which was answered by someone entering his room.
"With a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and shake your butt!" As the dancing turtle shock his butt in Raphael's face.
"I'm goner skin you alive Mike!" Raph got off the bed and dived for Mike, who ran out the room and into Leo and Don's room. Raphael followed him, and Mike did the same dance was the two oldest turtles groaned and stared sleepily as Raph dive bombed Mike to the ground. Mike managed to roll off Raph and jumped onto Leonardo's bed.
"Mike get off me!"
Raphael got up off the ground and just growled at Mike.
"Yeah and a Happy Birthday Mike would have been nice," Mike bounced on Leo's bed, as Leo rolled over trying to ignore his youngest brother.
Just then the sound of the stereo stoped.
"Great Mike – now look what you did! Break the friggen stereo!" Donnie exclaimed, annoyed that he'll now have to fix something else his brother broke.
"How can I break it when I am no where near it?"
"How about I just break you Mike?"
"No, no Raph, you promised to be a good boy all weekend and not bash me up! Besides, you know the rule, no bashing each other up on birthdays!"
"Mike – you never follow that rule – you always insist on giving out birthday punches," Leonardo sat up in bed and looked at his brother.
"Yeah I gutta get you guys back for all the punches you give me all the time," Mike told him.
"Mike – you are the ultimate punishing bag, it comes with the criteria required to be baby brother," Raphael mentioned.
"Stop calling me a baby! I'm 18."
"Then act like your 18 and not 8," Leonardo said, "And stop jumping on the bed, you know Sensei will tell you off."
"Leo, Leo Leo.... I'm not a child anymore, what can Sensei do?"
"Raphael is 18 and Splinter always goes up him,"
"Shut up Don!"
"Raph – I recommend being nice to the person who will fix your bike for you, if that's what you want."
"If you don't stop bouncing on my bed, I will diss you," Leonardo warned.
"No you won't you know the rule and you'll get in trouble with Splinter and you can't handle being in trouble," Mike replied, jumping even more.
"I'll happily diss you, Splinter or no Splinter," Raph cracked his knuckles.
"Raphael what have I told you about doing that!" Donnie cringed, he hated that noise.
"Maybe Raph with arthritis would be a good thing Donnie, he can't diss us anymore," Mike beamed, still jumping, though this time landing on Leo's knee cap.
"Michael!" Leonardo jumped up and dived with Michelangelo onto the floor, the pair rolled on the floor, with Mike giggling like a child and Leonardo growling at his brother.
"Your not goner do it Leo!" Mickey provoked Leonardo even more.
Leo punched Mike on the arm.
"Hey! SPLINTER!!!!! Leo hit me!!!!" Mike yelled out, with a wide grin.
"Hey you two help me hold him down while we give him his Birthday punches. One down, seventeen to go!!!" Leo called to Raphael and Donnie who happily jumped into the brotherly brawl on the floor.
"Nooooooo! Three against one, not fair! SENSAI!" Mike squealed with delight, as Donnie gave him a playful punch on the top of his shell.
"Help! Splinter!!!! They're beating me up in here!"
"You asked for it, bro!" Leo held Mike down as Raphael took his turn.
"No, not Raph....." Mike pleaded.
"Yeap, that's right, I'm Raph, your worst nightmare, arhhhhhhhh!" as Raphael gave Mike a light Chinese burn, just enough to make Mike winch.
Michelangelo continued to laugh, as Leonardo lightly punched his chest again.
"SPLINTER! SPLINTER HELP ME! They're beating me up."
"Splinter won't save you now, dear little brother....." Donny teased as he tickled Mike under the arm, knowing full well how much his brother hated it.
"SPLINTEEEEERRRRRRR!" Mike screamed.
"I think he agrees with us, you are an annoying little boy and need to be punished," Leonardo told his baby brother, as he began helping the others tickling him. Michelangelo was uncontrollably laughing and trying to bat his brothers off him.
As Michael started to close his eyes, he saw the swish of a long rat's tail.
"Leonardo! Raphael! Donetello! Let your brother go," Splinter said in a calm voice.
"I am saved!
"Arr Crud!" Raphael breathed out, as they all let their brother go.
"Michelangelo, are you the one responsible for the stereo system being on full volume, which woke everyone up?" He asked sternly.
"Um.... Yeah it was me."
'Busted" The other three said.
"Please stand up Michelangelo. I wish to speak to you properly."
"Yes Sensei.." Mickey mumbled as he got up.
Splinter gave a wicked grin at the other three, because Mickey's head was bowed in shame.
"Happy Birthday my son!" he said as he grabbed Michelangelo into a hug and clapped him on the shell. The other three got up off the floor also.
Michelangelo shed a tear and a smile. "Thank you Sensei," as he hugged his father back.
When they broke apart, the other three each hugged and wished their brother a happy birthday.
Splinter coughed, and all eight eyes fell on him.
"Would just like you to rephrase something for me, Leonardo, if you may?"
"Huh, um... yeah okay Sensai," Leonardo looked worried; he didn't know what this was about.
"You called Michelangelo a little boy, I think it is safe to say at 18 you could at least refer to him as an adult, as you too would prefer we treat you."
"Um... sure Sensai. Sorry Mickey."
"And now that you're a Man, I mean um... grown up turtle, you gotta act like it!" Raphael pointed at him.
"Yeah, no more braking equipment," Don piped in.
"Or jumping on my bed!"
"And deafening us all in our sleep!" Splinter added in, grinning at everyone.
Everyone laughed.
"Come on, I believe we have a matter of breakfast and presents to address," Splinter motioned for his sons to follow him to the kitchen. There laid out on the table was a grand breakfast spread of fruit platters, pancake and waffle stacks, fried bacon and eggs and sausages. There was also a jug of freshly squeezed orange juice toped with ice and a sprig of mint.
"Wow! Sensei, did you do all this?!" Michelangelo exclaimed.
"Do not look so surprised Michelangelo, I raised all four of you and did you ever go hungry when you were younger?"
"Now this is what I call Ninja Breakfast! Thank you Splinter!" Michelangelo beamed.
"It will be soon enough, knowing how much you boys eat."
"That's men, Splinty; remember what you said to Leo five minutes ago..." Raphael pointed out.
"Ah, yes, you see that is the hardest part of being a parent, Raphael. You always look at your children and wonder why it only seems like yesterday they were sucking their thumb and toddling around after you, wanting to explore everything."
"I didn't suck my thumb, did I Splinter?" Leonardo asked, as he began pilling his plate up.
"No you were the only one who did not suck your thumb."
"You sucked your toes instead," Donnie throw in, as Leonardo gave him a dirty look.
"How would you know?"
"I told him." Splinter answered for Don, as Raphael and Mickey laughed at the thought of Leonardo sucking his toes.
"Yuck!" Mike said.
"Now we know why Leo's the best at kakas, it's cos when he was a baby he would move his leg to his face!" Raphael joked, as the others laughed, except Leonardo who blushed.
"It is nothing to be ashamed of Leonardo, all babies do strange things."
"Yeah remember Raphael pooped in the bath!"
"Donnie!!!!" As Raphael jumped up, only to be stoped by Splinter's clawed fingers.
"Gross Raphael! That is just so gross!" Mike laughed along with Leo, as Don moved closer to Splinter for safety.
"Yeah well I didn't spew up all the time!"
"Ewe! Why did you put up with them Splinter! I wouldn't have!"
"Michelangelo, if and when you ever become a parent, you will understand unconditional love. You put up with the bad, because it is always outweighed by the good."
"Like Michael here never did anything weird."
"He still does weird things," Donnie pointed out to Leonardo.
"Yeah like when he starts doing the chicken dance in your face at 5am!" Raphael rounded onto Michelangelo and gave him a hug.
"Even with age, you're still the same old Mike! You'll be doing the same thing to us in another 18 years!"
Everyone laughed at Raphael's comment.
"Come, let us finish this breakfast, I can tell your brother is busting to open his presents."
