Time remaining 71:32:11.02

Slowly the three turtles left their father's room. Still slightly in shock not only from Don pulling this stunt but that Splinter agreed with him.

Mike and Raph sank down onto the couch while Leo sat down into one of the armchairs.

For some time they simply sat staring off into nothing. Mike was the first to speak,

"Umm… I think we need to set a few ground rules 'cuz we ain't gonna make it otherwise dudes."

He looked at Leo and than Raph. They looked back at him wondering where this was going,

"Ok, first of all Leo. You are not allowed to touch anything in the kitchen unless it involves the sink or teapot."

"What exactly are you implying Michelangelo?!" narrowed eyes focused on Mike waiting for an explanation.

"Dude you kill more kitchen appliances than Raph and I combined. Just last week alone you made the microwave explode, again, sliced the blender apart because it wouldn't work 'cuz you forgot to plug it in and not two days ago you set the toaster on fire, third time this month by the way. So unless you're makin tea, washin dishes or eating, stay out of the kitchen."

Raph snickered as he listened to Mikey lay into Leo.

"And you." Mikey continued turning his attention on Raph, "I think it's time you listened to Don and go for a ride on your shell cycle or sewer sled before you blow up."

"And what are you gonna be doin' to keep oudda trouble 'cuz ya realize you're usually the reason I blow my top Mikey. When I'm not blowing it 'cuz of Leo."

Now it was Raph's turn to get the glare from Leo.

"And since you don't have your game systems, you're gonna have lots of free time. So you need somethin' ta do…" Raph said as though he was thinking out loud. Leo caught his eye and caught onto where he was going with this.

"Well Mike, since you've got all this free time now, you can join me in the dojo for extra training sessions." Leo said with a smirk.

Mikey's jaw literally hit the floor, "ummm… yeah… I'm just gonna go… DS needs to be fixed… yeah…"

With that he disappeared into the kitchen with Leo and Raph's laughter following him.

--

The next few hours passed in relative silence. Mikey sat at the kitchen table putting his DS back together, Leo sat on the couch reading the security manual Don had left for him and Raph was working on one of the sewer sleds that Mikey had recently crashed.

Then it happened...


I know it is really short, but the next one will be much longer, I promise
