Notes: Back to the other reality (okay that sounds weird I know.)
"About time you came down," the teen who sounded a lot like Leonardo said. "We were about to leave without you and Raph."
"Dad," the teen who Mikey had seen earlier, who was just entering the kitchen, said, "can't we put a timer in? Even April doesn't spend that much time getting ready!"
"Hey!" April exclaimed looking up from where she was texting on her phone.
The man didn't answer. He just stared at Mikey who was feeling uncomfortable by the stare. It was like he was searching for something.
"We gotta go," the third teen said. Mikey wasn't surprised by the fact that he sounded like Donnie considering the other two teens sounded like Leo and Raph. "I need to talk to Mr. Sewell about my science project," he said standing up. The other teens started to leave but Mikey just stood there not making a move towards the door. "Come on Mikey. We gotta go."
"Go where?"
"Oh I don't know," the teen who sounded like Raph said, "how about school?"
"School," Mikey yelped. "I can't go to school! Not like this!" He said pointing at himself. He didn't even get a chance to ask who they were when the Leo sounding teen answered him.
"So you've got a zit," he said crossing his arms over his chest. "If you are so worried about zits maybe you should eat less junk food."
"Michelangelo," the man finally said, "are you not you feeling well?" It sounded more like a statement than a question.
"Yeah," Mikey said before faking a cough that didn't appear to fool anyone.
"With that acting I can't believe you got the lead in the fall play." The Raphael sounding teen said with a smirk. "Come on dad you know he's faking! He's probably trying to get out of a math test or something."
"Raphael," the man said in a voice that sounded so much like Splinter's. Mikey almost took a step backwards. "If your brother is not feeling well he should stay home. Now you three are going to be late for school so you better go."
The three teens left quickly.
April stood up and put her coffee cup in the sink. "I need to get to work. Hope you feel better Mikey." She said before also leaving.
"Thanks," Mikey said to the man. "I don't know why they think I can go to school like this."
"Like what my son," the man said.
"Like a turtle! I mean I don't know how you all know who I am or why you guys sound like my family. I mean you are human so that's impossible."
The man smiled gently before grabbing him by the hand and led him to a bathroom. "Look at yourself."
Mikey looked in the mirror and saw a bright red head staring back at him. He fainted.
End notes: The cover art reflects my idea of what Mikey would look like as human. As I'm sure you can guess, this Splinter knows something Mikey doesn't. Sorry for short chapters but I want things to sink in.
