I DO NOT OWN TMNT!
Sorry this is so late! Took longer to finish and edit up then i thought, anywho enjoy!
Mikey grimaced as he put the 3rd scary movie of the night in the DVD player.
He had watched Insidious, Don't be Afraid of the Dark, and was now about to watch the Crazies.
He was shaking uncontrollably by now, he still had about 7 other movies to watch.
Normally he wouldn't have dared to watch these movies but he just had to win!
He had to!
There was no way he was going to lose this challenge to Raph and definatly not Leo and Don!
He groaned as he pushed play, he had started watching these movies right after the challenge was made at about 8pm now it was roughly 11:30.
'Almost midnight.' Ran through Mikeys head as the first scene of the terrifying movie played out.
He shook his head, he was definitely going to win.
He knew he wouldn't be able to sleep for weeks if he watched these movies and that's exactly what he wanted!
Simple plan? Sure!
Effective? Shell yea!
Smart? Well...you can't have it all!
He sighed as he made himself face the t.v. and turned up the volume to about 15.
As Mikey put the remote on the table in front of him he accidentally dropped it making it bang against the surface.
As this happened he let out a shrill deafening scream and rolled up into his blanket more.
Yep...this plan was sure to work!
...Meanwhile...
"Aaaaaaaeeeeee!"
Raph shook his head as he pounded away at his punching bag.
'Sounds like Mikey.'
He smirked. He had seen Mikey get all of the restricted scary movies that he knew he wasn't supposed to watch out.
Mikeys plan had alot of holes in it. It was most definitely not full proof, not like his own plan was.
Raph' s plan was simple, easy and effective. All he would have to do is stay moving and angry.
The adrenaline rush would give him the extra boost he needed.
All he had to do was stay angry. He could definitely do that, he had been for the past two and a half hours after all!
He gritted his teeth as he sent a deathening blow to the punching bag.
'Psh...full proof is an understatement for my plan, this is genius!'
"Hai ya!" Raph yelled as he did a round house kick.
...Else where...
Leo cringed a bit then sighed In annoyance.
He was not going to get far with his plan if he didn't get some peace and quiet.
So far a scream and a yell had interrupted his meditation, making him have to once again slowly calm his mind and start back.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes once more.
He opened his eyes but this time opened them in his dream plain.
He was officially in the dream realm, he jumped a bit as he heard his name being called.
He turned and found three familiar faces staring back at him.
Upon instincts he bowed, "hello Master Splinter, Damyio, Usagi."
Master Splinter smiled. "Please sit my son. It's is nice to see you, how is every thing?"
"Very good Master, all same old same old"
' it definitely was not a lie'
"...If I may ask...what brings you here?" Leo questioned, Master Splinter smiled warmly.
"We are simply having tea and relaxing a bit as we practice our meditation, it is good to see that at least one of my students is training a bit."
Please warn the others when you return back that I will be back in 1 week, I expect them to be ready to get back to training as soon as I return."
Leo smiled, "i will be sure sure to tell them Sensei."
"Please join us Leonardo-san!" Usagi called offering a cup of tea.
Leo smiled at the offering. "I would love to but I am afraid somthing must have happened there is a disturbance in the main world realm."
Upon seeing there distraught faces Leo also added, "nothing bad just noise, I have got to be going I will speak to you later sensei."
Leo then bowed and let himself relax and be swept away to the main physical world.
As soon as he opened his eyes he got up and angrily made his way out of his room.
"Who was it this time!?"
Leo looked over at Don's room, his door was shut but smoke was starting to make its way out of the small crack under it.
Leo ran to it and busted the door down. "DON?! You alright?"
Don whipped to face Leo, he had been so close to figuring out a concoction that would help him stay awake.
He knew it could not be close to having the ingredients of any energy drink, chocolate or coffee. It was not an easy process.
But he really thought he had, had it. In fact he probably did!
"Yea! I'm fine! I only needed a pinch of cinfloride but nnnoo! A scream and battle cry later my fate is sealed! What's going on anyways?!"
Leo shook his head, "I don't know yet. I think we're all trying to find ways to stay awake, that's only a guess though."
Don shook his head, "well... good luck to you AND them then."
Leo cocked his head to the side a little. "What are you doing?"
Don flinched and looked at his blown up attempt of a concoction.
"Nothing, just trying to make a new alternative energy for the shell cells."
Leo made a face, "sure, well whatever it is its your business. I just came to check on you. Oh! Splinter wanted me to tell everyone this...He said he will be returning him in a week from the Damyio.
Don nodded, with and with that Leo closed the door and double flipped off of the balcony making a perfect landing in front of Mikey.
Mikey screamed and performed a sloppy round house kick, Leo caught his leg and flipped Mike.
"Ow..."
"Sorry Mike! Instincts." Leo helped Mikey up.
"That's ok!"
Leo frowned as Mikey finished, he took a few steps back to get a good look at Mike.
Mikey spoke fast and jittery, his figure spoke just as much as his speech.
"Mikey...you ok?"
'Jeez it's only 1am! About what? Like 5 hours or so since the bet?!'
"N-never better Leo!"
Leo flinched, Mikey had pretty much screamed the sentence at him.
"Uh...Alright then! Do you know where Raph is?"
Mikey shook his head 'yes' then pointed towards the dojo.
Leo smiled, "thanks Mikey and hey...maybe you should get some sleep, you look rough."
Mikey chuckled and slapped Leo on the shoulder.
"Would if I could bro! There's no way I'm letting you win!"
"Oh! Master Splinter wanted to let you know that he is coming in a week."
Mike nodded then continued on his way to the restroom, the past three movies had been holding his bladder hostage but now he had finally escaped and needed to fast.
Leo shook his head then made his way towards the dojo, upon getting even 3 feet near it he could hear grunts and faint sounds of punches being thrown.
As soon as he entered Raph stopped. "Whataya want Leo?"
"Ya got a minute?"
Raph grunted, crossed him arms then turned around to face Leo. "What can I help you with fearless?"
Leo's eyes widened as he took in Raphs appearance, Raph looked beat to say the least.
"You look like shell."
Raph smirked, "jee thanks Leo. Anything else you would like to add before I totally ignore you?"
"Oh! Yeah...are you aware that Mikey is a total mess?"
Raph shook his head, "I know he got those scary movies that he isn't allowed to watch. I think he is trying to scare himself in order to win. Kinda lame...he'll be out soon."
Leo smiled and shook his head.
"Wow...well if you need me I will be in my room, I am going to meditate so don't freak if you see my eyes closed while I'm spitting up.
If it helps you can check my pulse to make sure I'm not sleeping.
Oh! Master Splinter wanted me to tell you that he will be returning from the Damyios in a week. "
Raph chuckled, "I trust ya Leo but I'll keep that in mind just in case. Ggrreaatt I hope that the challenge will be over by then. Something tells me Master Splinter wouldn't approve."
"Yea funny, I got that feeling to, any who! Good luck, your going to need it with your plan!" Leo called as he left.
He looked over his shoulder as he neared his room and sighed taking in the scene.
Mikey shaking in his shell as he hovered over the t.v. screen. The sounds of an exhausted yet angry fighting Raph, and the angry banter coming from Dons room.
He knew each of his brothers were set on winning this challenge, he also knew that each of his brothers had there own extreme level of stubbornness.
He shook his head, ' this is going to be a looonngg challenge.'
With that he shut his door and sat on his bamboo mat with only a few candles lighting up his view of the main world. He sighed, 'a long challenge indeed.'
