Okay so before I continue I just want to say something about this short chapter. It must have been early in the morning when I wrote the summary for this, (I write out summaries for myself and finish the real story later) so when I went back to it a few days later, I had no idea what I meant.

Was Mikey supposed to do something with the moon? And a copier? What was the story here?

It took me WEEKS of thinking about this before I finally realized. Yeah. I felt dumb.

SO here it is. It's short, but I enjoyed writing it. :)


15. Moon- Mikey has a different idea than Donnie about visiting the moon, so he uses their new copier for some fun.

Mikey spun around in the old chair in Donnie's lab, trying to hold a conversation.

"So what do you think about space?"

"I don't know, Mikey, it's pretty big. Don't touch that!"

Mikey set down the blinking box with a sheepish smile. "Sorry. But where would you like to visit the most?"

Donnie sighed and put down the wires he'd been messing with. "I don't know. The moon, if I'm being realistic."

"Why the moon?" Mikey asked, still spinning in the chair.

"Because it's the closest to us, and I probably wouldn't make it to anywhere else honestly."

Mikey nodded in understanding. "What would you do there though? Isn't it just a bunch of rocks?"

Donnie shook his head and picked the wires back up. "Why don't you go bug Raph or Leo? I have to get this copier working by the end of today, and I can't concentrate with all your spinning."

Mikey laughed and flipped off the chair, leaving it spinning for a few seconds more. "You got it Don!" He left the room, calling, "Oh, Raphie!"

Donnie sighed again. He'd gotten the copier working last night, but this project was delicate, and Mikey seemed to know just what to do to make things explode. Hopefully his younger brother wouldn't notice that the copier wasn't even in the lab, but in a small storage room. Mikey didn't know that. Donnie hoped it would stay that way.

Mikey spent the most of the next twenty minutes trying to find Raph or Leo before he remembered that they had gone out on a 'bonding exercise' recommended by Splinter, who was meditating.

So that left Donnie-boy all alone.

But, on the very very bright side, Mikey had found the copier during his search. The 'broken' copier, which was very much a 'working' copier.

"He said he wanted to visit the moon... Maybe I can help him out with that." He pressed the 'on' button with an evil laugh.

*One hour later*

Donnie was surprised. Mikey hadn't made a single peep for an entire hour and a half. That had to be some kind of new record.

Unless...

Oh no. Mikey was quietest when planning a prank. And an hour-long planning period was not a good thing for anyone.

He got up to open the door. Maybe just a peek outside to make sure nothing heinous was going down...

Donnie cracked open the door and poked his head out, only to fling the door the rest of the way open in shock.

They were everywhere. Hanging on the ceiling, the back of the couch, the stairs, the doors, the doorways, even the fridge, were pictures of Mikey's butt.

"Ah!" Donnie made an exasperated sound and pressed his hands on either side of his head.

"Mikey!" He was past shocked. Now the anger set in. How did he even reach the ceiling!?

"Mikeyy!"

Michelangelo laughed to himself as he stuck yet another fantastic landing. He overlooked the city, feeling accomplished after adding to his metaphorical 'book of pranks.' Mikey stared upwards into the night.

He'd be back home soon, of course.

But first, Mikey would enjoy the view. Especially his inspiration, the moon.


How long has this thing stayed going? Gosh. Two birthdays, two Christmases. Two years, going on three.

You've all been so supportive, and you're really the reason I still write. I can't finish stories for shit, I know, but I am working on a couple things. I want to finish them before I post them, that way I don't leave you all hanging.

Thank you all for your support :) see you next time, unless I get hit by a train.
