Turtles' Big Sister

Cockroach Terminator

AN: I'm so sorry this update took so long. We're approaching the end of the school year, and with summer comes state tests, unfortunately. I've been so busy preparing for the LA tests next week that I've been distracted from Wattpad lately. But once tests are over, and definitely once school's out, I'll have more time to write, and updates should come faster like they did before.

"Let's go, Leo! I'm starving!" Mikey whined. Pepper rolled her eyes. Leo came over with two bowls in his hands, giving them to Pepper and Mikey. Mikey cheered. "Yeah, boy! Ramen!"

Pepper grinned down at her bowl as she picked up her chopsticks and started eating. For a moment, there was nothing but the slurping of noodles. Then, as she continued to eat, she caught movement from the corner of her eye. Pausing with her chopsticks almost to her mouth, she turned her head to look at the end of the table. There on the surface was a cockroach. Now, she never had a problem with bugs, but she didn't like having any at the table. But, what was different about this bug was that it appeared to be wearing some kind of equipment on its head. It crawled closer to her and looked up at her. She stared back as she slowly lowered her chopsticks back to her bowl.

"I question nothing anymore," she muttered simply as she pulled her bowl out of the roach's reach.

The bug looked away from her and crawled toward Leo. Leo noticed the bug and stared at it. The roach crawled over to Mikey, who had noodles spilling from his mouth as he stared at the thing. Then, the roach started heading straight for Raph. Uh-oh....Raph hates roaches! The bug crawled up the bowl and onto the end of Raph's chopsticks just as he lifted them to his mouth. He stopped when he saw the roach. For a moment, there was silence.

Raph screamed bloody murder as he threw his chopsticks and shoved the bowl off the table. "ROACH! ROACH!" 

They all stared at Raph, who stared down at the bug as he reached for his sai. A second later, he pulled it out and, yelling, began stabbing at the roach, who just jumped back out of the way. Pepper grabbed her bowl and picked it up as Raph started crawling over the table trying to stab the bug. He fell over the edge and got back to his feet, running after the roach.

The curtains to the kitchen opened, and Donnie came running, holding his laptop. "Stop, stop! You'll smash him!" he yelled.

"That's the idea!" Raph snapped.

The roach ran away from Raph and headed straight for Donnie. Donnie placed the laptop on the table and quickly kneeled down so the bug could crawl onto his hand. Raph ran at him, sai raised, but Donnie covered the roach and blocked Raph's path.

"You can't smash this roach, okay?" he snapped. Raph lowered his sai and Donnie peered inside his closed palms. He smiled as he opened them to reveal the roach, fully intact and squeaking loudly. "He's special," Donnie said as he lifted the roach to his face, and the bug nuzzled against him. Donnie looked over at them and lifted his hand so the roach was in full view. "Really special..."

Leo sighed. "Okay, I'm gonna regret this, but....Why is he special, Donnie?"

Donnie smiled. "Because, I outfitted him with a remote-controlled camera helmet!"

"Well, that explains why you're special," Leo said with a smirk.

Pepper rolled her eyes, setting her bowl down. "Why did you put that helmet on him, Donnie?"

"So we can send him into TCRI to spy on the Kraang!" Donnie said as he walked over to his laptop. "The camera allows us to see whatever the roach sees!" 

They all walked over to stand behind Donnie as he pressed a button on the keyboard. At once, the video of Raph screaming in terror popped up, and Pepper couldn't help but snort a little.
