Description
I was walking home after school when I checked the mail. there was a package inside. "Michele Scott?" I read the label. the package was a Amazon product. I walked in the house and set the box down. "Ms. Scott! you better get in here!" I waited a few minutes before I heard feet run into the kitchen. a giant turtle slipped and slid across the floor. he smacked the cabinet but got up again and took the package. this orange mask wearing turtle jumped for joy.
"dude, its here!" Mikey shouted.
"what is it?"
"warheads." he whispered.
"excuse me?"
"warheads. remember when we watched the warhead challenges last week?"
"yeah."
"and you said 'dude, we need to try that!'" he said in a ridiculous high voice as he mocked my words.
"that's what you said though."
"anyway, I got these and figured we should."
"your nuts." I laughed.
"but..."
"how may did you get?
"1000."
"why?"
"family time."
"I highly doubt that our masters would-"
"just us boys."
"just us boys?" I asked. I know I am a girl. but the turtles call me one of the guys. I don't mind. I like it so I go long with it.
"just. us. boys."
"lets go find them!"
we ran off to find any turtle in the house. we first ran into Donnie. he was in his room building something called shell phones. he told me it is a phone but better. me and Mikey snuck up behind him to his desk and waited. after a minute or two, Donnie sighed and turned around. "yes?"
"we need all the turtles in the kitchen now." I told him.
"why?"
"family time."
"excuse me?"
"all of us turtles are going to do something together. but its a surprise." Mikey said.
"I don't like your surprises. your last surprise caused a alien, Mexican bat to hyperventilate. we had to pay the whole hospital bill!" Donnie said.
"what they hell was the surprise?" I questioned.
"doesn't matter."
"he-"
Mikey covered Donnie's mouth. "doesn't matter." Mikey smiled at me.
"its nothing bad."
"well, if Tiffles says its nothing bad then it shouldn't be." Don got up. "come on."
we walked around the house and then found Raph in the main room. he was surrounded by junk food and jumping on the couch while the wrestling game was on. "come on, you fucking pussy! hit him!!!"
"why don't you?" I asked.
he turned around and a big smiled grew on his face. "hey, Tiff. what are ya guys up ta?"
"we need to get all the turtles in the kitchen." I told him.
"for?"
"family time." Mikey grinned.
"pass."
Mikey was about to say something but I stopped him. I glided in front of the TV. I can give my masters and Raph this look that makes them melt. I put on my cute face and smiled. "but, Raph," I whined. "we need you too."
he grunted and looked away but I stared at him with that face. he would glance back at me then finally he sighed. "alright, Tiff." he got off the couch. "lets go find our fearless leada."
we search for Leonardo and found him in the training room. why was I not surprised... Raph tapped the meditating turtle and said, "get in the kitchen. its 'family time'."
"what?"
"i don't know. Mikey and Tiff set it up."
"please, Leo. it's going to be fun." I assured him.
"I'm busy right now."
"but we need you."
"cant you do it without me?"
"we don't want to. please?"
"can I finish?"
I got on the floor. my legs were crossed in front of him and I put my hands on the floor in front of my legs. they pushed my up as I leaned in close. "please?" I asked.
he stared at me for a moment. "alright."
"yay!"
we all got in the kitchen when Mikey stood on a chair. "I bet you wanna know why we're in here."
"baking?" asked Donnie. we all shook our heads.
"no. we are going to do the warhead challenge!"
"are you nuts?"
"nope. just bored."
"we have 1000 warheads." I told them.
"whats a warhead challenge?" Leo asked.
"its a thing where people eat as many sour candies as they can. warheads is very sour. this is a bad idea." Raph told him.
"then why are we doing it?"
"because Tiff is very convincing." I smiled at Raph.
"the power of manipulation is strong with this one." Mikey said in a lame Yoda voice.
"we have to do something reckless before our masters come back. its our first time being home alone and we need some excitement." I told them. "are we turtles or mice?"
"we're turtles!" Mikey shouted.
"we cant possibly be considering this." Donnie said. he picked up a bag and examined it. "it says right here 'CAUTION: Eating multiple pieces at the same time or within a short time of each other may cause an irritation to sensitive tongues and mouth. This may vary from a slight irritation to a severe reaction depending on the individual.' the intensity lasts for about 10 seconds so times that with 1000, the acid coating is going to eat away our tongues. we might not be able to eat solid food for days."
"and?"
"and?!? what the shell is wrong with you!?!?"
"you don't have to do a large amount. just eat as many as you can and the one with the most eaten gets there chores done by the loser. the loser is the one you eats the least." I said. "sound interesting?"
"what if we don't want to?"
"then your out the chance to not having your chores done by you for a month."
"what about the middle people?"
"they can enjoy the show."
they looked at each other. "this is nuts." Leo said.
"fine then. come on Mikey its you and me, some real turtles." I said.
"your playing?"
"yep."
"fine. we'll play. but we want 3 month cleaning. not just one."
"consider it done."
Mikey went behind me and Leo and grabbed us to his sides by our shoulders. "this is going to be intense!"
we were unwrapping all the candies into the bowl when we heard Mikey groan. "this is too hard."
"not compared to the challenge." Leo said.
"we need to do this anyway." I told him.
"whos idea was it to get 1000?" Donnie asked.
"not mine. I didn't even know he got them until I seen then box in the mailbox."
"so it was the Moran's idea?" Raph asked.
"yep."
after half an hour, all the candies were in a bowl and unwrapped. it was on the table with us sitting in chairs around it. we were staring at the bowl waiting for someone to make the first move. I began to reach for one but Raph went first. he popped one in his mouth. he was fine 2 seconds. he was sitting in his chair, leaned back with his arms crossed. but after that, his eyes widen and he was hitting the table.
Leo went next. he picked up the yellow one and licked it. "you suck on it." Raph told him.
"that's what she said." Mikey said.
"that is what she said." I laughed. Raph shoved me lightly.
he popped it into his mouth. "oh my-" he coughed. "this is-...oh...oh!" he put his hands over his mouth.
Donnie was next. he popped the blue one and almost spit it out. he was calmer then the other two. but he wasn't completely calm.
Mikey was after Don. he popped in the red one. he sat there calmly. we all looked at him in surprise. "I'm used to eating this." he grinned.
it was my turn. I picked up the purple one and put it in. it was soar! I am not used to sour things. I eat mostly spicy things. I tried my best to not let it touch my tongue but it would burn my cheek so I would have to move it. we all looked around at each other. "any quitters?" I asked.
"shell no!" Raph said. he grabbed 5 like a bad ass and popped them in. after a few minutes we only ate about 5 each. Raph took a break. we couldn't stop laughing at each others reactions to the candy. Raph went to grab one when Mikey threw one at him. he looked at him with a brow raised. "it slipped." Mikey said. I cracked up. later, we all were at 9. Mikey got up and got us all milk. "this should help."
"that's for spicey food and Tiffany cant have milk." Donnie said.
"looks like someone is bumming." I did the only thing I could at the moment. I flipped him off. Raph almost choked his candy.
we were now at 20. Leo dropped out first. now it was me and 3 turtles. we each popped in another and Donnie was standing up and walking around. he was trying to control his drooling. after another one was popped in, he ran to the sink and spit it out. "my tongue!" he whined. we all looked at his tongue. it was bleeding in a few spots but nothing to bad.
now we were at 30. Raph stood up and jumped around, screaming with his mouth closed. I was laughing. we got to 32 and he was hitting the floor with the chair over and over. he would not stop. when we got top 35 he tapped out. his tongue was worse then Donnie's. it was bleeding more.
it was just me and Mikey now. we each have had 43 warheads and none of us could take another. "why don't you just quit?" he asked. "I'm winning anyway."
"you. wish." I popped in 10 at the same time and he tapped out. we all compared our tongues to each others.
Leo-bleeding in like 3 spots.
Don-bleeding more and lightly colored tongue.
Raph-tongue and cheeks bleeding. color is blue.
me and Mikey-black tongues that were bleeding all over, missing tongue sides, bleeding cheeks... it was horrible.
I raised my arms in victory. "I win! no chores!!!"
"I still win at life." Mikey said.
"then fuck." Raph said. we all laughed.
then our masters walked in the door. we his all the evidence and sat at the table. "hey, how wath you time out?" I asked. I sounded a bit funny.
"great!" Shifu said. he didn't notice I sounded like I had a swollen tongue. "we got everyone something."
Splinter put a box on the table and opened it. "it is called turtle cake. I found it suiting." he smiled. before Mikey could ask Splinter said, "no it is not made of turtles. it is chocolate." we each took a bite and our faces went flat. all of us screamed at the same time. this made our masters jump. "what is the matter?" he asked worried.
Raph was holding his mouth, "aw fuck!"
"don't you complain! Me and Mikey have it the worst." I said.
"have what?" Splinter asked.
"we did the warhead challenge. we ate tho many thour candieth that it burnt our mouthth thkinleth." Leo said.
"your not thuppotheth to tell them!" Mikey shouted.
"I taste blood." I said.
"why would you all do that?" Shifu asked.
"excitement. how do we get rid of it?"
"we don't. we take pain killerth for 3 dayth and be carful when we eat." Donnie said.
"I hope you learned your lesson." Splinter said.
"I think tho."
"so... who won?" Shifu asked. I raised my hand. "what did you win?"
"I have to do her choreth for 3 monthth" Leo said.
"you lost?" Splinter asked.
"you thound thurprithed." Raph told him.
"I was just-... you need to find other ways to entertain yourselves..." Splinter shook his head.
"knife game?" Mikey asked. I started laughing.
"whatth that?" Leo asked.
"it'th where people have there hand on the table, fingerth thpread, and try not to thtab there fingerth while going as fast as they can." Raph explained while doing a demonstration, using his finger as a knife. "we can do it with my thaith." he pulled out one of his sais.
"no!" we all shouted.
"you guyth would have it easier. I played that game before and I kept hitting my thumb." I told them.
as we continued to talk about different challenges
for the next week we could eat anything without pain. our tongues are still shaped funny but it doesn't hurt anymore. thank goodness. I cant wait for the next challenge!
