Disclaimer: I do not own the TMNT, they are the property of…Nickelodean, is it? I have trouble keeping up with the changes in ownership.
This is based on the new 2012 series. It's my first try at writing for this group, so I hope you enjoy it! I saw the tumblr challenge on Drusilla52's story December Advent Fun! and decided to join in the madness. It's going to be wonderful
…well, at least for me :D

Snowing

Snow cascaded lightly from the inky black blanket of sky overhead, the clouds blotting out the stars. The park was quiet, save for a few teenage voices muted by the cotton covered ground.

"Hurry up, guys, I'm freezing my shell off!" Mikey whined past a lump of snow on his plastron.

"Quiet, you!" Raph growled as he slapped another handful of snow on the expanding heap upon his brother's shell.

At the moment, Mikey was lying flat on his back while Raph, Leo and Don covered him in snow—at Mikey's insistence, of course. He had mentioned seeing something like it on television and, curiosity goaded, had begged them to bury him. When Donatello had tried to explain that what Mikey had actually seen was someone being buried in the sand at the beach, Raph had cut him off, humouring the little sucker. Clearly, Raph was still miffed that Mikey had nailed him in the back of the head with a snowball.

"Seriously, how do humans do this? I can't feel my toes!" Mikey complained, trying to wiggle them beneath the heavy blanket of snow.

"Maybe we should start digging him out," Leo suggested, pausing with a clump of snow in his hand above Mikey's torso.

"Nah, he likes it!" Raph brushed off Leo's concerns, building up the barrier of snow around Mikey's tuque covered head.

"Leo makes a point," Don concurred, "We are coldblooded; it will take some time to warm him up again. He could lose some toes if he stays in there too long."

"That does it; I'm getting out of here!" Mikey cried, concerned for the state of his precious toes. He lifted his head and attempted to sit up, but the snow wouldn't budge. Mikey lurched forward again, grunting with the effort. Still nothing.

"Uh, guys? I think I'm stuck!" Mikey said warily, squirming under the heavy burden of snow. And it was true; the once harmless pile of snow had hardened due to the packing, forming an icy casket around Mikey.

The three older brothers exchanged looks, making no move to help the struggling Michelangelo. They had predicted this would happen and were reluctant to release their brother; at least, until they had a little fun first.

Raphael was the first to speak, stretching dramatically and drawling, "Well, it's gettin' late. See ya in the morning, Mikey!"

"Wait! Don't leave me here!" Mikey wailed as his three elder brothers dashed off through the snowdrifts, rounding a small grove of trees. Once hidden from view, they collapsed into silent heaves of laughter, covering their mouths to hold in their delighted hoots and sniggers.

Between giggles, Don wondered, "How long – should we – leave him like that?"

Raph cocked his head toward where Mikey was shrieking like a banshee on the opposite side of the small clump of trees. Following a few seconds of contemplation, he suggested, "I dunno, ten minutes?"

"I'LL BE REINDEER FOOD BY MORNING!" Mikey howled and Don had to bite down hard on the heel of his palm to choke back his cackle of laughter.

Leo, doubled over and gasping for breath, relented, "Maybe just five more minutes."

Snow cascaded lightly from the inky black blanket of sky overhead, the clouds blotting out the stars. The park was quiet, save for the screeches of terror from a distressed Mikey and the stifled guffaws of his brothers.

Oh, Mikey…
I reeeeaaallly loved writing for the turtles as younger teens. They're all so cute!
So, quick story about my experience with the new series of TMNT: Watched the first two minutes of the first episode, hated the voices and promptly turned it off. Four days ago, watched a new episode and fell in love with the cuteness. I love Don's constant scheming to get April to like him, Mikey's naiveté, Raph's lighter sense of humour and Leo's all around nerdy-ness XD
