Merry Christmas Mikey!

I do NOT own TMNT 2012, just the story plot.

-6 days before Christmas-

"Hey guys," Mikey started while standing in front of the lair. His brothers looked up from the entertainment center. Raph was dozing off with a comic over his eyes, Donnie was on his laptop, and Leo was watching Space Heroes. "So, I had like the brillant most awesome idea ever!"

"Oh yeah?" Raph narrowed his eyes while Donnie rolled his. "What's that Mikey? I'd love to hear what you've come up with now." Mikey frowned.

"I didn't come up with it, wait...that'd be cool if I did!" Mikey giggled with a huge grin.

"Mikey, your idea?" Leo asked, almost feeling impatient. His fingers draped around the remote to the TV.

"Oh yeah! Well I was thinking...we should celebrate Christmas!" Mikey grinned wide, his light blue eyes almost as wide as they sparkled. Raph had a fit of laughter as Leo just stared and Donnie was taken off guard.

"Christmas? Are you serious Mikey?" Donnie asked but was cut off by the cheerful nod from Mikey, who was ignoring Raph at the moment.

"Yeah, why not dudes? People do it every year-" At that point Raph cut him off with one of those looks.

"We are not people, Mikey. Plus, Christmas is for babies." Raph pointed out while flipping his magazine open, signaling not to talk to him. Mikey frowned and looked at Donnie and Leo. Leo stared at him for a moment and then looked away, distracted by Space Heroes. Donnie gave a small smile and then looked at his laptop, officially dismissing the idea. Mikey's heart fell into his stomach. He didn't care that they weren't people, he just wanted to celebrate a holiday cause holiday's were awesome!

Deciding it was better to leave his brother's alone, he went to the dojo to talk to Master Splinter. 'Sensei always knew what to say to me', Mikey thought with a famous smile.

"Michelangelo." Sensei acknowledged him before he even stepped into the room. Mikey immediately sat in front of him on his knees and smiled wide. "Something bothering you, my son?"

"Yes Sensei. I want to celebrate Christmas!" Mikey cheered. The old rat looked at him in surprise. His youngest seemed very eager about the upcoming holiday and here he had not thought of it at all. "But..the guys don't want to..."

"Well then, my son, I do not know what to tell you." Sensei replied and watched the cheerfulness leave his face. For a moment it surprised him, but then Mikey smiled again.

"Hmm, what if I surprised them? You know like...what do they call it? Secret Santa!" Mikey cheered again, throwing his hands up in the air.

"I believe that is when a random person gives a different person a gift, my son." The old rat explained with a chuckle. Mikey looked up and groaned.

"Then I'll just find out what they want, maybe kick them out Christmas eve and decorate place. Surprise them and give them presents!" He smiled wide and seemed to move around hyperly. Master Splinter smiled at his youngest and smallest son.

"That sounds like a good idea Michelangelo. But if I may ask, why do you want to celebrate Christmas?" He asked his son. Mikey looked up at him with wide eyes and a smile.

"Because it's a family holiday and I wanna spend time with my family! Right?" He replied and then looked confused at the end. The old rat nodded with a small chuckle. "Awesome! Oh, but don't let the guys know what I'm doin for em, okay?"

"I promise, my son." Sensei nodded as Mikey got up and hugged him. It surprised the old rat, almost catching him completely off guard. These things barely happen anymore unless they were being emotional or sentimental.
