Tuesdays

It was just a typical, Tuesday afternoon.

"So..." Raph trailed off, his confused gaze fixed on the weirdly decorated lab doors which had caught their attention as soon as the eldest two turtles had strolled in through the turnstiles, "What do ya think?"

"Mikey's doing, obviously." Leo stated as he also stared at the lab's doors, which were covered in spooky/dangerous-looking decorations like fake thorns and spider-webs. A huge, arch-shaped cardboard hung over the metal frame.

' HE WHO DARES TREAD PAST THE ENTRANCE SHALL SUFFER THE WRATH OF DONATELLO ' was written on the cardboard in bold, red letters having a smokey black background. Flowing crimson droplets were painted under the letters, giving them a blood-like appearance which was something straight out of a horror movie.

Leonardo distantly wondered how his baby brother did some of things he did so quickly; him and Raph were only gone for 15 minutes.

"What do you think happened this time?" Raph inquired, his tune sounding curious and exasperated at the same time.

Leo thought for a moment with his eyes still fixed on the cardboard arch before he shook his head in resignation and turned away.

"I don't wanna know."

Saying that, he walked towards the dojo without another glance and Raphael simply shrugged, following after his brother and already itching for some spar.

Weird things like this weren't unusual with Mikey around. Raph was just glad that there wasn't any bucket of orange slime targeted at him or Leo.

Hiding among the rafters over the entrance of their dojo, a white-eyed ninja crouched in the shadows, a mischievious smile playing on his face as he held a bucket of goo in his hands, prepared to splash it over his unsuspecting older brothers. He heard their approaching footsteps and started countdown.

The sound of footsteps stopped outside the paper doors.

The doors were slid open.

Two turtles stepped inside and-

SPLASH!

-froze in their tracks, now dripping with a glittery, orange slime. The freckled ninja took adventage of their shock and fled, his loud and lively laughter ringing throughout their home.

Just a typical, Tuesday afternoon.
