"Don and Kyo are still here, so I'm going to fake yell at you." Raph muttered, low enough to where I could hear but our brothers nearby couldn't. He then raised his voice. "You do know you could have killed someone, with the leeks and your brother or the bugs and me."
"Ay, sensei." I said, staring at the wall behind Raph to prevent from cracking up from my comment.
"There will be consequences, and not just what Master gives you. Training will begin earlier, last longer, and will be harder both mentally and physically." Raph continued, staring at me as Don and Kyo walked in.
"We're going to check on Leo and Casey. Everything ok here?" Don asked. Raph nodded curtly. Don and Kyo left.
All was silent in the kitchen for five minutes after our brothers went down the hall, then we broke out laughing. "That was epic fooling Mikey!" Raph said, hitting my fists.
"Nice idea with the fake bugs. How exactly were they going to kill you if they're not even alive?" I commented.
"I had to make it look like I was really mad. I'm surprised Donnie and cat boy didn't realize they were fake." Raph answered.
"Tch, I have my ways of making things seem way different than they actually are." I smirked.
"Which is?"
I grabbed the robotic bug I noticed out the corner of my eye that Don and Kyo had missed. Putting it in the palm of my hand, I held it up to the red clad turtle in front of me. "Robobugs so complex not even the genius turtle could pick it up. It uses the latest Atlantean technology."
"It looks real, though," Raph said, remaining stiff but getting close.
"Want to kill this one?" I asked, grabbing its body between my fingers and looking at him.
"All yours," Raph commented, stepping back. Wincing, I crushed the bug between my fingers, not liking it even if it WAS a robot I created.
"Guys, dinner," Casey said, poking his head in. "Leo says it's a special night so we're eating take out in the main area."
"Aka fearless has something to tell us and it be very informal," I muttered to Raph. Not daring to look at each other in fear of laughing and getting further into trouble, we followed Casey into the adjoining room.
"Michelangelo, have you learned your lesson?" Leo asked, looking at the orange headed turtle. I told Leo that I was pranking Mikey with Raph when we were pranking everyone else, so he discussed what Mikey learned 'first'.
"Yes," Mikey said with his head bowed, not looking up.
"Good," Leo sat down as we all resumed eating in silence. Finally, Mikey broke up and ended the silence.
"Why aren't you asking Kim if she learned her lesson?"
I dared not look at Raph, for fear we would tell all as Leo spoke. "I knew what was going on, but are you positive you learned your REAL lesson?"
Mikey was silent, staring at me. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Raph stiffen in attempts to keep from laughing. I didn't meet Mikey's eyes as I looked up. Instead, I stared at the wall behind him.
"Kim, what's going on and why is Raph on the verge of laughing?" Mikey asked me. I finally made eye contact with him.
"You seriously want to know?" I asked, moving my body slightly closer to Raph who had relaxed without laughing.
"Yes." Mikey replied, leaning forward. I looked at Raph.
"Want to tell?" I asked.
"Nope," he answered. I sighed before remaking eye contact with Mikey.
"Raph is on the verge of laughing because you were pranked." I said, leaning back onto my hands and smirking.
"How?" Mikey asked, now seriously confused.
"Leo knew of the pranks and I assume Don figured out what was going on. Why do you think Donnie went into the kitchen when he knew you didn't like peeps in there?"
Mikey was silent, contemplating. "But we planted real bugs in the punching bag and Raph acted differently this time."
I pulled my Atlantean crystal out from under my shirt. "Those were toy bugs implanted with the latest in Atlantean technology to make them lifelike."
