Between my ten published thingys, (I can't use the word story because I've only got 3 true ones, the others are one-shots / collections of one-shots), I decided to put in a Chapter for this one today. Count down from 1900 hours.
Donatello was fussing over the modulator because no matter how much he calibrated it, it just refused to work. He set it down picked up the nearest tool to start all over again.
He frowned, 'You gotta work for me this time.'
He suddenly felt the presence of two bodies behind him, and without looking around he said, "What'd you break?"
"Nothing," Mikey cried defensively. "We need your help with that thing again."
Don dropped the modulator and spun his chair around. "What thing?"
Raphael and Mikey were standing side by side with expectant looks on their faces.
"Don don't play like you don't know," Raph said folding his arms across his plastron.
Don raised an eyeridge at his brothers and sighed heavily. He already knew what they were asking him to do, and he didn't like it one bit. After the last time he promised that he would never do it again. However, this would be the sixth time they were asking him to do the deed.
"Guys, no more. I won't do it...not this time," he shook his head and crossed his arms to show that he was serious.
"Why not?" Mikey whined. He looked even more desperate than before.
"Yeah Don, why not, you know it's fun. I've seen you enjoy it. You like challenges don't you? Why not do it again...it's easy isn't it?" Raph added mischievously.
Don narrowed his eyes at his brothers. He didn't want to admit it, but it was fun.
Taking a deep breath to resist the temptation, he calmly said, "No, I promised not to do it again...and that's final."
Mikey threw up his arms in despair and rolled his head backwards. "Aw man, why do you have to chose now to be so...so good...you have no idea what you're missing...why couldn't Raph be the family nerd, then we'd have some real fun," Mikey grumbled.
"Oh come on Donny, what are you afraid of...one more time couldn't hurt...please, I'm begging ya...for the sake of all turtle kind and peace in this household...just this once...do it for us again," Raph pleaded.
Don looked at both turtles in shock. They were both acting rather desperate and uncharacteristic, especially Raphael. He wondered what it was they discovered that made them come to him begging for his help. His curiosity was building up inside of him.
Raph's pleading face quickly dissolved into a menacing scowl. "Well, if you won't do it, then I'll have to find something else to occupy my free time. I was thinking of maybe taking the chopper out for a shake down," he flashed Don the most evil grin ever.
Donatello glared back at him in silence. It was too good to be true, Raph if you do anything to that chopper I swear I'll kill you with my bare hands.
Mikey was smiling as well.
"Well Donny, are you gonna do it, or do we have to make a flight plan?" Raph asked tapping his foot on the floor.
Curse you both. Don snorted, "Fine, but this is the last time okay."
The two turtles high-three-ed each other and huddled over Don's shoulder as he went online.
After a brief moment of trying to figure out the correct password, he typed it in and was granted access.
"Yes," Mike and Raph chimed together.
"Now, add us, add us," Mikey piped excitedly.
Don rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
When the deed was done, Raph rubbed his head and mumbled. "Thanks Don, you're the best brother a turtle could ask for." Then he walked away.
"Thanks bro, you rock," Mikey said patting him on the shoulder, and he ventured towards his room.
"Last time indeed bros," Don muttered and set about to fix the modulator.
A few minutes passed by and his phone buzzed in his belt. He unhooked it and flipped it open. He had received a text message.
-"You promised me!"-
He cringed at the sight of the sender, and immediately began texting a reply.
-"I'm sorry, Raph and Mikey...begged"-
The shell-cell went off again.
-"You lied to me, you promised you won't do it again, now I'm seeing I'm friends with Mikey and Raph. I'm disappointed in you."-
Don pressed his fingers to his temple and replied to the text.
-"I'm sorry April, really, I won't hack into your account and re-friend Mikey & Raph again, I promise...and I mean it this time. Ninja's honor!"-
It took about five minutes before his shell-cell lit up again with an incoming message.
-"Ninja's honor my behind! Go on facebook and you'll see for yourself why I'm unfriending & blocking ALL of you this time."-
Don flinched and shut his shell-cell to replace it in belt. He logged on to his facebook account and went to April's wall.
She was tagged in numerous photos and lengthy posts, all made by Michelangelo and Raphael.
April's Wall
Raphael - April : Hey, I just want to know if you sleep without your bra on...Casey says you do, but I don't believe him. :-P btw thanks for adding me again.
April's comment: That's none of your business, and I did not add you...
Mikey: So it's true then? What about underwear, do you sleep with any...why wear them at all if you don't sleep with them on...I mean wearing no clothes at all is cool...trust me I know...but why wear them in the day if you gotta take them off in the night.
Donatello palmed his forehead and shook his head in grief. No, no, no...
He knew that his brothers were only tormenting April for the sake of fun, but this was beyond. She would normally engross them in weird conversations, but after the whole sister episode, she threatened to burn all their computers and anything that allowed them access to the internet.
April: I don't even know why I bother to answer you guys...
Raphael: I tagged u in a photo, it shows what happens to u when u sleep with ur bra off.
Don scrolled down to find the photo that Raphael tagged the red-headed woman in. He yelped when he saw it and immediately closed it off while shielding his eyes from the image. It was a photo of an elderly woman in the nude, and her breasts were hanging down to where it shouldn't be.
Casey commented on it: Woah babe, u really let yourself go!
'God save us all.'
Mikey: Ha ha I saw it! OMG that's gonna leave me permanently scarred for life!
Raphael: U're already permanently scarred doofus.
Mikey: And the other pictures, geez where'd you find those? Gross!
Raphael: I dunno...google. Google doesn't look interesting today though...I liked the interactive string instrument thing a few weeks ago.
Mikey: I liked the eclipse thing...hey check out what April tagged you in...
Don wasn't interested in seeing the photos that Raph tagged April in, but he was curious to see what she had tagged his brother in.
He almost gagged when he saw it. It was a photo of a naked elderly man, and it had a similar effect to that of the other photo, except it was referring to the male organ. He scrambled to close off the image, and as soon as he clicked on the X, a hand landed on his shoulder.
"What are you doing Don?"
Don jumped and the modulator was sent flying off the table along with other tools. He quickly spread out his arms over the desk to prevent more stuff from falling and huddled over the keyboard.
"Leo, don't sneak up on me like that, you startled me," he frowned at the blue-masked turtle.
Leo chuckled and bent down to pick up the fallen debris. "Sorry, I just wanted to know if you weren't busy that's all...I was thinking we could..." Leo trailed off when his eyes travelled to the computer screen.
"What the shell?"
He saw the smaller images of the senior citizens in their 'birthday suits' on April's wall.
"Raph and Mikey," Don stated sourly.
"No kidding, you hacked into her account again...she's gonna be pretty mad when she sees this," Leo smirked.
"She's already mad, she tagged Raph in that one," Don pointed to the photo with the old man.
Leo guffawed and doubled over slapping his hand on the desk, "What did Raph say?"
Donatello went back to the wall where Raphael was writing, since he didn't comment on the photo.
Raphael: Woah, what the HELL happened to that man? He looks like he got dropped into a barrel of salted water, and was left there for months! Who the heck would want to take a photo of THAT! April, I didn't know u had crushes on prunes. Is he on the wall in ur bedroom too? Does it turn u on? CJ did u see ur competition bro? I'd suggest you visit a...uhm...I'm not sure what u should visit...but damn!
Mikey: O_O April is that what Raph looks like to u?
April: Yes Mikey
Raphael: CJ u seeing this, April has a crush on me, she thinks I'm some f_ shrivelled up geezer & it turns her on...ha ha.
Both Don and Leo cringe at their brother's words.
April: Stupid!
CJ: Uhm... for u Raph, that'd be an improvement.
Mikey: Ahahahahahaha!
Raphael: Meh...whatever...I know for a fact I wouldn't look like that when I'm that age...but for u CJ that's inevitable...as for April, between the 2 of u... I'd suggest u guys get some support system...Dig Deep!
April: Yeah, I'll dig deep alright, I'll dig till I end up in that home of yours, say good bye to ur 'baby'.
Raphael: U touch it girlie & I'll be riding ur ass to hell an' back :-P
April: What's the matter Raphy? U afraid I'll do something bad to ur precious bike?
Raphael: U won't dare O'Neil!
April: Just u wait...
Mikey: Cat fight! (^_^)
Raphael: Mikey u there in ur room still? I'd suggest u RUN!
Don had his hands pressed to his temples as he stared at the monitor. "You know, sometimes I think April encourages it," he turned to a worried looking Leo.
"I don't know, but that would explain why Mikey was screaming a couple minutes ago...I think I better go find that shell-for-brains before we find him dead," Leo replied walking off towards Michelangelo's room.
Don sighed heavily and closed off the webpage. His shell-cell received a text message and it vibrated against his plastron giving him a jolt.
He opened the message, and frowned when he realised that it came from April.
-"Well, I'm sure u had enough time to read all that by now, so I'm deactivating my account. This is your fault you know."-
Don snorted and texted a reply.
-"How so?"-
April replied.
-"Because you hacked into my account...more than once Don..."-
-"Well next time pick a harder password...I mean come on...the first six prime numbers and one symbol...that's practically begging to be hacked."-
-"Whatever ninja boy, ttyl. Bye."-
Don chuckled and slipped his phone back in place when Raph came up towards him.
"Donny, I think April is gonna unfriend and block us again, you think you could..."
Donatello cut him off, "No."
"No, why not?" Raph demanded.
"Because shell-for-brains, she deactivated her account," he explained to the red-masked turtle who was standing next to him.
"Oh..."
"Where is your partner in crime?" Don asked.
"I dunno, he wouldn't be coming around me anytime soon anyway...Leo sorta saved his shell," Raph said nonchalantly. "You know, I was thinking, what if you reactivated her account and we mess around with Casey, what do ya say?" Raph smirked.
"No, I'm pretty sure that she would tell Casey that she deactivated her account, he wouldn't buy into it if she magically came back on," Don stated.
"Are you sure it's the same Casey we're talking about?"
Don laughed at the statement and a mischievious smile formed at his lips. "You know what, maybe we could..." he bit his tongue and set out on the computer once more.
Before he could click on the 'Sign Up', a small message popped up indicating that he had just received a message in his email.
"What's that?" Raph asked watching Don abandon the facebook window to go into his email to check his mail.
"It's from April, it says 'Urgent, read now'."
Don automatically opened the mail and saw a small file attached to it. It was labelled 'FYI' and she wrote a small note down below. It read;
'Dear Donny,
I know that you didn't mean to hack into my account, and I'm sorry for getting mad at you. That being said, this is just a little someting to show you how much I appreciate our friendship.
April.
PS. I worked really hard to create this. Hope you like it. ;-D '
Raph gagged, "Geesh, women and their sentimentalities, makes me wanna hurl."
"You're just jealous," Don smirked and he clicked on the file to download it.
Suddenly the screen jumped and a small window opened up. Inside it there was a line and a small round red smiley face bouncing around inside. The line read:
'I just killed your computer Don! Don't hack into my account again!'
"Uhm... Don is that a..." Raph began as he stared at the little red demon smiley expand on the screen and burst into confetti. The computer let out a shrill beep and it shut down right after that.
Don was holding his head in his hands, and his eyes were wide with shock. His jaw went slack as he stared at his computer in horror.
Raphael waved his hand infront of his brother's face."Don, you okay bro...Donny?"
Donatello gasped for air, "She sent me a virus...she killed my 'baby'..."
"Uhm...I guess she's not into all that sentimental stuff," Raph shrugged.
Then his shell-cell beeped. Raph pulled it out and read the text message that was on it.
-"Did Don like the thing I sent him? Tell him I'll help him fix it...whenever I get a chance...as for you...your 'baby' is next. See ya later :-)"-
Raph's eyes widened with fear and he looked back at Donatello who was still in shock. "Uhm...Don...do you think you could..."
Donatello turned his head to his brother and glared, "This is all your fault."
Raph smiled sheepishly and stepped back from the purple-masked turtle. "Hey Genius, don't blame it all on me okay...how was I supposed to know that she was gonna send ya that virus. I mean, you did hack into her account...Donny?"
Donatello didn't blink and lunged at the older turtle. Both of them landed on the floor brawling.
Leo returned to see Raph and Don rolling on the floor and sighed. "Don you need some help bro," he was laughing somewhat since Don looked like he was the one attacking Raphael, whereas the latter was in a defensive mode.
"No," Raph growled. "Help me...he attacked me...Leo."
Leo chuckled, "Nope, you I could handle. An angry Don however, is not someting I wanna tango with."
Time: 2100 hours
Are you okay reader?
