Chapter 7
Mikey, A Cow, And A Dog Walk Into A Barn…
Hello dearies! We will pick things up once more, this time, it has been 6 months since the turtles and Splinter have moved into the McDougal estate, and things are starting to get back to some sense of normalcy. However, the hired help, Cliff, had to call off for a few days, leaving the girls short one person. Never fear though, Seren comes up with a brilliant plan! "The guys can help us out! It'll go quicker that way… trust me!"
I will do a chapter for each of them, why, you ask? Well it is because I have so, so much that happened, I just cannot put it all into one! Oh, and I almost forgot… Cliff knows about the turtles and Splinter, and he is alright with it. He's been with Rose for over 10 years now, and he loves his work.
Now, for what you have been waiting for… Michelangelo, the milker of cows…er, sort of.
Seren opens the door to Mikey's room, noticing that the youngest turtle is still snuggles under the blankets, sound asleep. Slowly making her way into the room so her eyes can adjust to the darkness, she works her way over to his bed. Grabbing hold of his shell, she starts to shake it, hoping to wake him up as gently as possible. "Hey, Mikey… wakey wakey dude, the chores ain't gonna do themselves!"
Michelangelo sank deeper into the blankets, mumbling incoherently. "Mmmnnsoookmmmm…" He had forgotten that he and his brothers were to help the girls the next two days, "Fiveeeee minuttttteeeesssss… zzzzzzzzz."
Seren, trying several more times to wake him without success, stalked out of the room in a huff, tripping twice over articles of clothing and something squishy that she had hoped was a stuffed animal. In the hallway, she ran into Raphael and Rose, who were already dressed and heading out.
Seeing the look on the young girls face, Raph had a good idea what had happened. "So, he won't wake up for ya, eh?"
"No… I've tried everything!" Seren replied, throwing her hands up in the air, mostly defeated. "He sleeps so damn heavily… how do you guys get him up?"
"We usually let sensei handle that, since he has the most patience."
"Um… no, I'm not gonna bother Splinter! What about ice water… do ya think if I toss that on him, he would wake?" Seren was grasping at straws, trying desperately to wake him so they could get this over with.
Chuckling, Raph almost said yes, to that… but he remembered the last time that was tried. It ended up with Mikey jumping straight up, and punching Raph (who was the one that thought of the brilliant idea) square in the nose so hard, that the big turtle thought he had permately damaged it.
Seren, thinking of something, smiled sweetly at Raph. "Well… would YOU wake him then… PLEASE."
Laughing, Raphael shot back with, "Nah, he's all yours!"
"RAPHAEL!" Rose was trying to not laugh at what was happening, Raph had told her that Michelangelo was a hard one to get up, and also let her in on the many different, and humorous ways they tried getting him up in the mornings.
Raph was having fun with this for some reason; it was nice that someone else would wrangle Mikey for him. However, he did feel bad for Seren… but just a little. "What babes?"
Rosie, standing there with her hands on her hips, gave him a stern look. "Help her!" Hoping that he would say yes before she started giggling, she tapped her foot impatiently.
"Oh, alright, alright!" Stomping into his youngest brothers room, he flipped on the lights, grabbed hold of the mattress, and flipped it, and his brother over and out onto the floor. "Time to get up little bro!"
Well, you guessed it, he woke up alright, and nobody could understand a word that came out of him, but it sounded something like this, "Wha…whodidthat…uhhhhh…Inotlikeeeeee…whayadodatforrrrrrr!"
"Listen bro, when your lady comes in and says, wake up, you WAKE UP!"
Fully awake now, the young turtle finally remembered what today was. "Oh, yeah, sorry dudette, it totally slipped my mind!" Ending that with a nervous chuckle, Mikey quickly get things together and was ready a minute later.
"Well now, that makes everyone up and ready!" Rose smiled, watching the brothers. Raph could be crass a lot of the time, but he truly did love his brothers, even if he rarely said so. "So, let's get a move on it turtle!" She emphised it by sticking her tongue out, which made Raphael growl.
"I got somethin' you can use that tongue of yers on later today." Bending his head down, he nuzzled Rose's neck for a moment.
Playfully giving him a slap, she giggled, "Stop it!"
In unison, Mikey and Seren both said, "Eeeeeeewwwwww!"
Raphael, shaking his head and rolling his eyes, walked away with Rose and left the two youngest ones of the group to start in on the day's chores. "I can't wait to see the video of Mikey in the barn later on! This should be good!"
Rose laughed, "You think that milking a cow is too much for him? It's really simple to do, and Seren will be there with him… I really don't think even he can mess this up."
The big guy stopped for a moment and looked down at her, she looked up at him, and both came to the conclusion that this WAS Michelangelo… anything could, and probably would happen. Laughing, they made their way downstairs, looking forward to the days end, and probably some laughs.
I should note now, that Rose had cameras places all over the estate. Remember, it is a 200 acre property, and there needed to be some type of security in place. Now, back to the story!
We are now in the barn, where the 4 cows they have are residing. There is Katie, who is the most patient of the 4, Tess, who loves to scare the hell out of people, Corny, who is a bit… off, and happens to love corn (hence, her name). Last, but certainly not least is Henrietta, this cow has a temper that could rival Raphael's, and Seren is the only one she will let close.
Since Mikey has not a clue as to how milking a cow works, Seren fills him in. He's ok with things… till she tells him what he has to 'pull' to get the milk out. This is where it starts, the good, the bad, and the ugly. It went something like this…
Seren: Mikey, seriously, it doesn't hurt her.
Mikey: Shell no; I am NOT pulling her… her… dangly things!
Seren: Geez! You are a wuss… pull it!
Mikey: NO!
Seren: (rolling her eyes and trying not to laugh) PULL THE DANGLY THINGS!
Mikey: NOOOOOOO!
Seren: Ya big baby!
Mikey: AM NOT!
Seren: Michelangelo, seriously dude, it's not going to hurt her, I swear! God, they don't even LOOK like breasts!
Mikey: It doesn't matter dudette, milk come outta 'em, just like milk comes outta a mom's… well… you-know-what's! I can't do it!
Seren: Michelangelo, you sit there right now and start pulling that teat, or so help me, I will tell Raph that you chickened out and he will tease you for the rest of your life!
Mikey: (mouth drops open) You wouldn't!
Seren: (smiling) Wanna try me?
Mikey: (defeated look) Oh, alright, but I'm closing my eyes when I pull it!
Seren: That's fine, long as it gets done.
Seren was really proud of herself for not busting out laughing, it took every bit of willpower to not giggle herself to tears, but she got him to do it. She would have never told his older brother if he decided not to do it, but threat of doing so got the result she wanted.
Taking a seat on the stool, the youngest turtle stuck his hand under Katie, apologizing to her beforehand, "Sorry I have to do this Katie cow, but some things just gotta happen, no matter how uncomfortable it may be." With that, Mikey gave a good tug on one of the udders… nothing came out, at least, not on his end. However, a not-so-nice sound came out of the front end. Looking up, Seren saw Katie turn her head quickly, take hold of Michelangelo's orange bandana, and give him a strong tug. She had no time to react, it happened so fast. Mikey went flying several feet, landing face first into a pile of hay.
The poor turtle was waving his arms, yelling for help, covered to his shoulders with hay. Seren was trying extremely hard not to laugh herself to pieces, she knew it wasn't supposed to be funny… but it WAS.
As if it wasn't enough for the young turtle, one of the dogs came over to check things out, wondering what the commotion was all about. Not knowing what was under the hay, the canine went over to dig it out. Uncovering Mikey, she started liking his face, trying to clean him off.
"Aw, it seems as though Hera has taken a liking to you Mikey." Seren giggled as she came over to help him up. "She usually isn't a big people person, however, for some reason, she really likes you."
Mikey bent down to pet the pooch, which set her tail wagging like crazy. "Thanks for digging me out girl!" That sent her tail, and rear end, wagging even more.
Seren could not get over the scene in front of her, they had found Hera a few years ago out in the woods around the farm. She was half starved and dehydrated. It took them a few days, but she allowed them to get close enough to get her food and water. Eventually she came into the barn, and has been there ever since. Only letting the girls around her to bring food and water, Hera just wanted to be left to herself. The other animals liked her well enough, and she seemed to have adopted them as her pups, and kept watch over them each night. And now here she was, letting Mikey pet her, and loving it.
"Alright Michelangelo, you still have to milk the cows, just try not to pull so hard next time, ok."
A bit embarrassed, Mikey replied with a simple, "Alright."
"I don't think you should have too much of a problem, especially with Hera around. She will keep the cows in line." Smiling sweetly, she softly brushed her hand against the youngest turtle's cheek. "Wanna try again?"
"Sure dudette, Michelangelo never leaves a job undone that he has started, lemme at those cows!"
Laughing, Seren holds her hand out for him, "That's the spirit! Let's go an milk some cows!"
As Seren cleans the stalls, Mikey milks all four of the cows successfully. Even Henrietta let him milk here… with Hera close, of course. The dog never left the turtle's side, and Mikey was fine with that, for the moment. After he was done, Michelangelo decided to play with the dog. Finding a nice sized stick, he threw it out of the barn, "Go ahead girl, go get it!"
The dog looked at him, then looked out at the stick, then back at him, and finally went to retrieve the stick. He threw it several more times for her, each time; she brought it back and placed it at his feet. Sitting down on the ground, Mikey started to pet her. Then, that's when it happened… Hera, who was so happy and content a moment ago, was now a rambunctious pooch. Knocking Michelangelo off balance, she jumped on top of him… and started humping him! The poor turtle was freaking out, attempting to shove the dog off of him, but every time, she got back on top of him before he had a chance to get up and humped him even more! Seren ran to the back of the barn and stopped… the sight of a big turtle getting humped by a dog that was a lot smaller than him sent the young girl into several rounds of laughter. She couldn't help herself; it was just so… comical!
"NOT funny dudette!" He helped, being unsuccessful once more in getting the dog off of him. "Help a turtle out, will ya!"
Coming over, Seren reached out to grab Hera, and almost got her hand bitten. She tried again from the side… and got a low, menacing growl from the dog, as well as another attempted bite. The girl was at a loss on what to do next. "Mikey, throw her off dude."
"I can't do that… it's mean, don't wanna hurt her."
"Well dude, she's probably gonna hump you till she gets tired, and lord only knows how long that will be!"
"Here, please girl… I'm a turtle, you're a dog… it'll never work!"
"Dude, you have ninja skills… USE THEM!"
Looking up at Seren, Mikey flashed one of his silly smiles. "Oh, yeah… right!" Grabbing the dog around her waist area, he gave her a big heave, tossing her into a big pile of hay about 30 feet away, giving him enough time to get up.
Seeing that her advantage, size wise, was gone, Hera started to wag her tail once more, becoming the nice, happy dog she was a minute ago. Michelangelo, however, was NOT falling for that ruse again. "Sorry girl, can't pull that one on me twice!"
Quickly trotting over to the turtle, Hera squatted and peed on his foot, then turned and walked away, laying down in the back corner of the barn and staring at him.
"Ew, gross!" Mikey started to shake his foot, trying to wipe off the urine. "I need a bath! That was just…. Just RUDE girly dog… RUDE!"
Turning to Seren, Mikey continued on his rant, "That dog… she is psycho I tell you… PSYCHO!"
Chuckling, Seren walked up and put an arm around the youngest of the brothers. "It's ok Mikey; let's go get you cleaned up."
Michelangelo piped up at hearing this, "Does that mean that you will get in the shower with me then dudette?"
"Um… probably not dude. Remember, Hera peed on you… I think I'll take a rain check till next time, ok." Winking at him, and for good measure, placing a kiss on his cheek, Seren smiled up at him. "You're a big boy, I'm sure you can handle a shower by yourself."
"Yeah, but it's more fun with two… especially when the second person is a hot babe such as yourself!" He hoped that his compliment would do the trick… sadly, it did not. However, it was all good… it's not like that would be the only time he would take a shower.
So, off to the house they went, Seren giggling all the way, teasing Mikey about being a love interest for Hera. Fast forward about an hour later… let's listen in on Raphael and Rose.
"Well, did you watch the recording?" Raph leaned in, hoping that Rose would show him some of it. "How funny was it babes?"
Looking up at the muscular turtle, she smiled. "Oh, it's funny alright… damn funny."
"C'mon babes, lemme see some of it!"
Shaking her head, she came back with, "Nah, let's wait till the others do their thing. We can splice it all together and show it at the end of the day… a nice family feature." Giving him a kiss on the cheek, she continued, "Remember, Donnie is going to be feeding and cleaning the chicken coop, and those birds are VERY particular about things. And Leo is doing the laundry…" Seeing the look Raph gave her, she amended, "No worries though, I did ours yesterday."
"Good girl! Leo has never done something like laundry, geez, I hope he doesn't blow up the machines!"
"Well, Brissen will be with him, so it should be ok… I hope."
Laughing, the two made their way outside so they could finish up their own chores. "Well big guy, you got a lot of hay bales to put on the wagon and get them out to the animal storage tents for the winter time, better get a move on!"
Grabbing her around the waist, Raphael lifted her up off her feet and spun her around, planting a big kiss on her lips. "Now I can get a move on girly, have fun tilling the field!" Putting her down, he gave her ass a smack, then walked away.
Smiling like a fool, Rose said good bye, making her way to the tractor so she could get her work done. She wanted to have enough time to put all the good parts together from the day's work by the boys before dinnertime. 'This should be one… interesting, and comical evening!' She thought to herself as she drove the tractor to the field that needed tilling.
