Some Short Stories

Maskatello

This is the some-what sequel to "Midnight Planetarium". Yes, this is kinda based off the show "The Mask", which Rob Paulsen also had a part in.

One day, Donatello was in the sewer, collecting more materials for his new invention, and on that day, he stumbled on a wooden mask.

+++

"Huh? What's this?" Donatello picked up the wooden mask and examined it. It was a seemingly ordinary wooden mask. Donatello then scavenged into the military junkyard for more spare parts, such as heaps of scrap metal, nuts and bolts. And hour or so later, the scavenger hunt for spare parts was done,

The purple-masked turtle then put the scrap parts into a cardboard box he found somewhere like last week and went home, whistling the ringtone of his T-Phone.

It was night, and Donnie then arrived in to the Lair. "Hey guys! Check this out!" he said while rummaging through his cardboard box. "I found tons of pieces-"

"Can you please shut up? Chompy's trying to eat in peace!" Raph said to his nerdy brother. "And he says no nerdy stuff! So shut up!"

Donnie rolled his eyes. It always seemed that in Raph's world, Chompy is the king, instead of himself. He went into his lab, put the cardboard box on the floor and took out the contents. As a mutant who is organized, he sorted the bits and bobs into piles but put the wooden mask on his trophy shelf. Then he started working on this machine.

"With a bolt here... And done! Well, not exactly." Donnie wiped a drop of sweat off his brow. He worked hard on it after all. He decided to take a break.

And that's when the mayhem began.

Unlike Raph, Donnie was never really the revenge type but he did occasionally love the good prank. So, he decided to play a trick on Raph, due to his teasing about April being his girlfriend and him being nerdy, and a multitude of other things.

Normally, he'd put an unsuspecting spy-roach or two on his shoulder to scare him, but this time he decided to be a little bit different. The spy-roaches were too boring. He needed it to be a bit more crazy... A bit more... "Mikey"...

"That's it!" Donnie exclaimed. "I need Mikey! He's the perfect person for the job!"

And so, he rushed out to find his freckled younger little brother.

Mikey was in the living room, playing a racing game against April.

"Ha! Take that, April! My boomerang got 'cha!" Mikey said enthusiastically.

Seemingly, he's winning the game. "And yes! I won! I finally beat you in Austrailian Kangaroo Racers! Hehehe. I won, I won, I won..." Mikey's voice then trailed off with the in-game music.

"Um, sorry April. He gets a bit fired up when he beats people who have a winning streak in video games." Donnie apologised sheepishly.

"Hey Donnie, wanna play this game with April I found? It says... " Aiming Higher Than The Moon, a romance RPG for two people. Oh yeah, Mona and Raph really like it and play it a lot together. They always say it's a couple goals thing when I ask them about it." Mikey asked.

"Um... No. I actually came to find you, Mikey." Donnie said with a blush on his cheeks.

"Ohhh. Ok, bye April." Mikey said as he went away into the lab with Donnie.

"Bye Mikey!" April chirped, waving her hand.

"So... What do ya need me for, D?" Mikey asked curiously, since normally, he wasn't whisked to Donnie's Lab by Donnie himself.
