The next morning, a miraculous prophecy was fulfilled within the great walls of the Hamato dojo.
Master Splinter did punish Raphael and Michelangelo during training. But it was not nearly as harsh as they thought it would be.
Well, if you could call doing fifty pushups whilst your brother sat cross-legged on your shell not very harsh.
As he watched his two unfortunate sons do the pushups set for them, he said "I hope you learn, my sons, that late-night shenanigans are not the best of ways to get yourselves back to sleep. Is that understood?"
"Hai, Sensei!" They both grunted, and Splinter left the dojo for a moment.
As Leonardo sat on Raphael, and Donatello sat on Michelangelo, they both couldn't help but share a grin as a plan clicked in both their minds. "Hey, Donatello," Leo said casually, "You know what would be a great way to pass the time?"
"I don't know, Leonardo!" Donnie smirked, "What would be a great way to pass the time?"
Leo grinned down at Raph and Mikey devilishly. "Why, and Irish Drinking Song of course!"
Rah and Mikey both craned their necks and stared at them in shock. "Don't…You…Dare!" they grunted in unison.
Donnie and Leo only chuckled. "Sorry, guys, but you still have 25 more pushups to do, and we're bored out of our shells just sitting here!" Donnie snickered. "Ready Leo?"
Leo nodded. "Ready Donnie!"
"Lemme here it!"
"NO!"
Both: Oh, Idey idey idey idey idey idey I!
Leo: I'm sat on my brother!
Donnie: Whilst they are doing pushups!
Leo: They are being punished,
Donnie: They are great big screw ups!
Leo: They look like they're angry
Donnie: Raph is gonna snap!
Leo: Mikey's gonna hurl on him!
Donnie: (chuckling) And I don't give a crap!
Both: (laughing) Oh , Idey idey idey idey idey idey I!
(It was then that Mikey and Raph shared a look, and grinned at each other)
Raph: Leo's such a nerd face!
Mikey: And Donnie is a dork!
Raph: I'm gonna flip them off,
Mikey: And…turn them into pork!
Raph: (nearly dropping to the floor with a smirk) I'll serve them up for dinner!
Mikey: It will be so good!
Raph: Splinter will never find out,
Mikey: We made them into food!
Both: (weakening from laughter) Oh , Idey idey idey idey idey idey I!
(Despite the unkindness in their song, Leo and Donnie couldn't help but join in the laughter. It was pretty hilarious)
Leo: That ain't very kind!
Donnie: In fact it's very mean!
Raph: It's what you get for sittin' on us!
Mikey: That's what you get from teens!
Leo: (smirking) But that's still really stupid,
Donnie: You could go to jail!
Raph: At least I get free food there!
Mikey: And maybe some Fan-Mail!
All: (cracking up) Oh , Idey idey idey idey idey idey I!
Donnie: I wish those day were never gone.
Raph: I understand,
Mikey: And… I wish that I as well!
Leo: My life won't go as planned!
Donnie: But things didn't go as I planned.
Raph: I became a rock trucker!
Mikey: (holding back a laugh, for he knew where Raph was going to make Leo do) I changed, I became a man!
Leo: La, la, la, la, mucker!
Splinter returned to the dojo moments later to find his sons on the floor in massive turtle dog-pile, once again laughing their shells off over something he had missed. It appeared that Raphael and Michelangelo had failed to complete their punishment, due to the fact that they were still underneath their brothers, Leonardo and Donatello, as they laughed just as hard.
Though he really should have been annoyed with them, the sight was rather heart-warming. It was always a pleasant sight for a father to see his children in such a happy state.
However…
"Boys," Splinter called. The laughter immediately stopped, and the boys looked up to find Master Splinter towering above them, his hands folded behind his back as he looked down at them.
"Aw crud," Raph cursed.
However, to their surprise, he smiled. "I see you are enjoying yourselves, after you finished your exercises of course," he said.
They looked at each other and winced. "Uuhhhh…"
"If that is the case, then you are free to go and do as you wish for the rest of the afternoon."
The boys sighed in relief.
"But first…"
He suddenly drew out a wooden sword from behind his back.
"…Randori!"
The boys shot to their feet and ran screaming for their lives out of the dojo, with their faster ninja master close on their heels with a playful grin on his face.
