How does this work?
Microwaves and Metal do not mix
Disclaimer: As stated before – I do not own the turtles. PG – for Raph's bad language and because they do something stupid and dangerous.
I would like to warn all of you youngsters and oldies out there – DO NOT place metals in the microwave. This is also something for the chipmakers out there – now that the packets are foil – we cannot make shrinky dinks.
Shrinky dinks for all those who are not children of the 80's was in fact when you put a chip packet in the microwave and it shrank and it was really cool. You could make key rings and they were popular – well at my school in Australia they were.
BUT please do not do that with the chip packets now people – they were just plastic bags when I was a kid, they now use foil.
As you will see, Mikey and Raph learn that the hard way.
"Chippies," Mikey shook the packet in Raphael's face.
"No shit," Raph grabbed at the bag, but Mikey was too quick.
"You should ask before snatching," Mikey pointed at his brother.
"Oh just
give us some chips would ya," Raph looked at his brother annoyed.
"Oh right," Mikey handed Raph one chip.
"I said chips, it's plural. Means more than one sodden chip," Raph grumbled.
"You a teacher now hey?" Mikey teased, he let Raph grab a handful of chips.
After they had eaten their chips, Mikey got an idea.
"Hey remember when we were kids and Donnie showed us that really neat thing with the microwave?" Mikey beamed.
"What thing with the microwave?"
"That thing where Donnie use to put the chip packets in the microwave and it would shrink the bag and it was really cool. Remember we did that with all our chip packets once," Mikey smiled at the memory.
"Hey yeah, I remember that. We should do that packet and take it into Donnie. I'd cheer him up to remember something fun we use to do," Raph and Mikey headed to the kitchen.
"How long did we use to put it in for?" Mikey asked.
"I don't know, try two minutes," Raph said. They put it on and waited.
They got a drink out as they waited and both jumped when they heard something behind that go bang.
"What the shell?" Both turtles jumped round, to see their microwave no longer working. The rest of the power went out with it.
"I think
we put it in for too long," Mikey started to bite his fingers.
"We're so dead," Raph moved slowly towards the microwave
and pulled the plug out.
"How come the power's not on?" Donnie yelled from his room.
Leo came running from the dojo into the main room; saw his brothers in the kitchen.
"What just happened?"
"Power went off that's what," Raph used his Sais to open the microwave door.
"RAPH!" Leo screamed, "Stop!" Leo grabbed Raph's Sia.
"What?" Raph growled at Leo.
"Don't you know to never put metal in the microwave!" Leo screamed like a worried mother.
"Chill Leo, it's not on. I'm just opening it," Raph snatched his sia back and placed in into his belt.
"Um... Raph, our Shrinky Dink didn't work," Mikey used his chucks to scrap out the remaining chip packet.
"You're what?" Leo asked.
"You remember when we were kids we used to make shrinky dinks with Donnie in the microwave," Mikey told his brother.
"MIKEY! Those were plastic packets, chips now come in foil!"
"What's all that yelling?" Donnie cried from his room.
"Yeah I know that, keeps the chips fresher."
"Foil is metal!"
"Oh crud," Raph muttered to himself.
"Yeah crud, Raph! You guys could have blown up the lair!" Leo was ecstatic.
"What with one little chip packet?" Raph said.
"Well, you've stuffed up the microwave. Anything else you two want to stuff up before lunch time?" Leo stormed out the room.
"I'd better go turn the power on, before Master Splinter gets back and blows off steam at us," Raph grabbed the torch and Mikey followed. He was not goner hang around and get yelled at by himself.
I know short and sweet, not to worry already got the next couple of chapters on their way to a computer near you. Hope you enjoyed it guys.
