TMNT Fan Fiction

One shot: Umm… I can explain

Disclaimer: Nope don't own them

Donny's POV (age 13):

I glared at my computer screen and then sifted my glare to a timid Mikey. He yelped and hid behind his bed. I slowly got up trying to install as much fear into my brother as I could as I slowly asked, "What…is…this?"

"A game…"

"Get out and leave me to fix this."

"Honestly I just thought that it was…"

"Out!"

With that Mikey yelps and runs out of our room. He probably thought that I was possessed or something, which right now, seems pretty close to the truth. I walked back over to my computer and sat down at it looking at the screen that was uploaded with its newest game. Sometimes Mikey would upload these kid games he found in the dump onto my computer and play for awhile before removing them so that I wouldn't catch him but really Mikey wasn't that good and some of those games were fun to play before I removed them. This time when I had walked in with Mikey sitting at my computer he had jumped up and tried to hide what he was doing from me. He seemed very embarrassed when I pulled him out of the way and found none other then Bunny's Palace on my computer with skimpily dressed girls that were taking off their clothes and doing… Can girls even do that or more importantly why would they want to. I can't believe Mikey but he might have uploaded it by accident, he is kind of naive in that way.

He is always getting in trouble and always in an innocent way, I think it is just his nature. But it was because of him that I ever stated doing anything major with electronics in the first place…

When we were about three years old, Mikey had fallen in the underground river in the middle of winter. We weren't supposed to leave the lair but Mikey had knocked his ball out the door and into the tunnel. Back then nothing worked well in our lair, not that we had much, but the door was one of the things that was always broken with the catch giving out with the merest tap. We went allowed near the door because of it. When Mikey walk through the door both Raph and Leo saw it and ran after him. Those two used to get along so well that I thought nothing would come between their friendship, I don't know what happened but back then they were like two halves of the same mind and that mind was saying get Mikey before he gets in trouble.

While Mikey was chasing his ball down the tunnel it fell into the underground river and Mikey went in after it. I don't know how Mikey managed to grab on to the stick that Leo and Raph held out for him but he did and by the time they had gotten back hypothermia was setting in.

Dad had just caught them entering the lair; he didn't know they had left because he was extracting me from some pipes. Back then I was curious about everything and got into everything but because we didn't have that many electronics I wasn't interested in them. However, when they had gotten back Dad started panicking and was trying everything to warm him up. Dad would have run a hot water bath but he hadn't had time to hook up the water heater and fix it since he brought it in yesterday.

Dad was yelling at Mikey to keep him awake and making him walk but it was a losing battle and I was afraid if he didn't warm up soon he would go to sleep and right now that was a bad thing. So, instead of standing around doing nothing like my other brothers I walked over to the water heater and started playing with it until it was working. It was lucky for me that Dad had everything that he thought that he needed already set up or I don't think I would figure it out. About an hour latter I had warm water running (not hot but good enough) and ran over to Dad to get his attention, Mikey was starting to fall asleep on the cold ground. Dad picked up Mikey and dumped him in the tub.

After that everyone thought I was a genius and wanted me to fix things for them. I didn't mind because it gave me more things to play with but it also meant a lot of reading. Dad was very grateful for the hot water but he was angry that I could have hurt myself fixing it. As a punishment he had me read a book on household repairs and even though I knew how to read small books, that large book had hurt my head as well as my foot every time I dropped it.

Unfortunately doing all those repairs took a lot of time and I barely had enough time to work on my own projects. Then one day Mikey woke me up crying over his game dude and how he couldn't fix it. He seemed so sad that I offered to help him and over time he got better at doing the minor repairs that I didn't have time for, this gave me time to build some amazing electric marvels that modern science hasn't even come up with. Even though Mikey helps me he also gets into my inventions and computer all the time causing havoc. Maybe I never should have helped him out…

"Donatello! What are you doing?" Master Splinter's voice demanded.

I jumped and turned around to look up at him but he wasn't looking at me but at the computer screen I had been staring through for who knows how long. The computer screen of mostly naked girls…

"Donatello, you will turn that off and come with me to have a little talk."

"But…"

"Now Donatello!"

I shut down the computer and followed Master Splinter into his room.

"Now, I realize that you are growing up and are curious about certain things…" Begin Father, "however, there is other ways of gaining that information in ways that do not exploit women. You will shut down that program and bring in other such material into this home, your to read this book on manners and this one on respect to females, and your to remain in your room for the rest of the day."

"But Mikey…" I said as Master Splinter pulled out two old volumes that looked to a century old and handed them to me.

"Mikey is a very innocent soul and you have to be careful not to sully it with such material, you may go now."

Latter on that evening, Mikey waltzed into our room and I glared at him over the tops of my assigned readings.

"What," he asked.

"This is your fault," I stated " you owe me big time and one day I am going to so collect."

"And if I wont let you…" he challenged.

"Then I will tell everyone that you are the turtle that has been repairing all the electronics around the lair and that you put that computer program on my computer. Then everyone will be coming to you to have things fixed and they wont fall for your childish behaviors; so, that when your not fixing things you will be practicing nijitsu and meditating because they will know better. As long as I keep quiet you get to enjoy your freedom but the moment I tell everyone the truth…"

"No, no don't tell! Please, I don't want to grow up and be a stick in the mud like Leo! I will do anything just tell me what it is!"

I knew that that would get to Mikey, if there was one thing he could stand to lose was his childhood and he clings to it like the security blanket he keeps on his bed. I think the others are beginning to think that there is something wrong with him. For a moment I begin to imagine all the things I could make him do but decided that they went big enough to qualify what he had done to me.

"Oh, I wont tell you now," I said lightly, "but I will collect one day and when I do you will know."

"OK Donny OK, just don't tell them," he begged.

It's amazing how easy it is to out bluff him. I mean I could tell them but Mikey's behavior is so flawless they would probably laugh at me. However, that is not important what is, is that Mikey believes me and will do what I want him to do one day. Now, I just have to remember not to forget.
