Experiment T4
Chapter 1
"Wow, cool!" Max's eyes widened at the TV screen. "Hey guys! Look, we're on TV!"
"What's this about us being on TV?" Dan walked over casually.
Normally they would have taken something like this as a prank from Maxwell but this time they could all hear the show blasting as clear as day from the TV so they all turned quickly.
"May I have your attention please… Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!"
"Eew!"
"This is what I have to live with every day."
"I can't believe I just clapped for that."
"Is that supposed to be an imitation of me?" Exclaimed Max flabbergastered.
"I can't believe someone actually made a show about us." Liem looked troubled.
"Yeah." Dan agreed. "It's weird."
"But they got a lot of it wrong. I mean for starters, we don't wear fluro headbands around our heads." Max put in.
"I think that's so the audience of the show can tell who's who." Dan pointed out.
"Can you believe it? They actually called me Raphael."
"You've got a nice name. What are you complaining about, Rupert?" Said Dan.
"Hey, is that girl supposed to be Samantha?" Max remarked. "She looks nice."
Everyone pondered about this question for a short while before Dan said, "I don't think so."
"I think I'll call Sam, April from now on." Said Max absent-mindedly.
"Don't." Said Liam weakly.
"Hey, who's that rat supposed to be?" Max asked.
"I don't know. He's old and in control. Maybe he's supposed to be Sam's dad." Dan suggested.
"But why a rat?" Max persisted.
"Well, Sam's dad is a rat on the Chinese Zodiac." Said Liam and thenhis facial expression changed.
"What's up Liam?" Rupert asked concerned.
"This seems to be more than just a coincidence. There are too many similarities for comfort. You don't think this could be a… a trap?" Said Liam voicing his fears.
Silence followed as his brothers pondered his preposition.
"I don't think so." Said Dan finally. "It is a good lure and all but it would be a very expensive campaign to run. Nope I don't think it's a lure for us. I mean I don't think we're worth that much, for people to start wanting to spend millions on a lure like this."
"How many mutant turtles have you come across?" Liam interjected.
"Four." Rupert put in.
"Exactly. We're rare so we would be worth a lot of money." Liam finished.
"Hey, who do you think that Shredder guy is?" Asked Max, now determined to match every character on TV with someone they knew.
"If he was real, we'd do well to stay away from him." Said Liam irritably.
"I just wish I could do some of that karate stuff their doing. It looks like fun." Rupert commented.
"That's your idea of fun?" Dan looked shocked.
"Sure, we can do that. That's easy." Said Max, now pretending to fend off an oncoming army. "Hey Ya, ho ha, hee… oops, sorry."
"Why you…!" Rupert seised Max by the shirt. Max had accidentally whacked him across the head.
