Machias' Punishment (split from FF.net restrictions) - Page 312

**Machias Banshee** · 10-18-2002, 05:52 PM

(( S'okay...It should prove to be interesting nonetheless...))

*yawns before she looks up at him*
What did you do?

*terran631* · 10-18-2002, 06:01 PM

Mike: *chuckles* It was late winter and Splinter was gone a lot of the time looking for food and stuff. Well, one evening before he left, Raphael and I got into some trouble and he told us that the TV had to stay off. *scoffs* It really wasn't fair. It was all Raph's fault anyway.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-18-2002, 06:03 PM

*smirks, wiping he eyes dry* I'm sure it always was....*rests back a little more, her eyes gettin slightly droopy* what'd you two do?

*terran631* · 10-18-2002, 06:11 PM

Mike *frowns trying to remember* I'm not sure...something about super glue and the toilet seat, but that's not important. Because after Splinter left, I was so mad at Raph for getting me in trouble that I wanted some revenge. Anyway, Raph's not especially naive but we were both so bored I was able to convince him that I had this secret place out in the sewers but it was so secret that I had to blind fold him before I would take him. Well, after hours of threatening me, he finally agreed and without Leo or Donnie knowing, we left. I took him the long way through every tunnel I could find and when I was sure he was completely lost....*looks down* I just left him.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-18-2002, 06:12 PM

*She looked at him, dumbfounded*
oh my Gawd...well, what happened once you got home?

*terran631* · 10-18-2002, 06:17 PM

Mike: Nothing really at first. Leo and Don were involved in their own thing and didn't even notice we'd been gone. Really, I just expected Raphael to come home in a few minutes yelling and screaming at me while I laughed at him. Didn't turn out that way. Like 2 hours passed and he still wasn't back. Leo and Don asked if I knew where he was and I said I hadn't seen him. Then Splinter came home and asked where he was...and I said I hadn't seen him. *looks up at her* Idiot that I am never took into account that I left him out there, lost, and in freezing cold temperatures. While he was looking for his way back, his body kinda shut down on him and sent him into hibernation.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-18-2002, 06:20 PM

*She gasped, in shock that Mike could have ever done such a thing*
I obviously know how it turns out in the end, but...how did you ever find him?

*terran631* · 10-18-2002, 06:28 PM

Mike: Well...we all searched the lair for him including me even though I knew he wasn't there. Leo suggested that maybe he left...and Splinter looked kinda scared. *sighs* I'd never seen him look scared before. And I finally broke down and told him the whole story. I was surprised he didn't look angry. He just went and grabbed a blanket, telling Leo to put two or three more on the water pipes to get warm. He took my hand and ordered me to show him exactly where I'd taken Raph. *shrugs in despair* But I couldn't remember. SO I did the best I could and by sheer dumb luck we found him. *shivers* He was just lying there on a patch of ice..think he might've slipped and fell. But he was so cold to the touch and I was sure he was dead.

((bored yet?))

**Machias Banshee** · 10-18-2002, 06:31 PM

*She looked at him, slack-jawed*

oH no...poor thing....Oh when you got back...*shudders, burying herself deeper into Mike's arms*

((Hell no! This is good!

))

*terran631* · 10-18-2002, 06:42 PM

Mike: We got him back home and Splinter took him to his study and closed the door. I think he thought he was dead too and he didn't want us around at the time. I remember locking myself in my room and hiding under the bed. I wasn't hiding from Splinter...I just didn't wanna hear that I killed my brother. Don't know how long I was under there...hours. I just had my hands over my ears and my eyes closed tight. I didn't even hear my door open, but Splinter came in and found me and told me Raph would be alright.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-18-2002, 06:45 PM

*She looked at him, hesitant in her question*
What happened after he told you?

*terran631* · 10-18-2002, 06:53 PM

((have drawn what?))

Mike: *sighs* He told me to get in bed, that it was late and Leo and Donnie were already asleep. He kissed me goodnight like he always did, but somehow it was different. *shakes his head* I woke up early the next morning and asked if I could see Raphael. Man, I thought Raph would be so pissed at me, but he laid there wrapped in a bunch of blankets and laughed and joked with me like I hadn't almost killed him. Well, Splinter came in and said that Raphael should rest, he was expecting Raph to get pneumonia or something, I think. All he ended up getting was a little cold, but damn did he milk it. Anyway, Splinter said that he needed to speak with me and for me to go to my room. *wry smile* I wasn't an idiot. I knew I was gonna get it. Not only did I almost kill Raph...I lied to Splinter and to everyone else. So brave soul that I was went to my room to have a nervous break down. *chuckles*

**Machias Banshee** · 10-18-2002, 06:56 PM

(( Lil' Mikey under the bed...Ah, i'm just being a mush...))

*She looked at him thoughtfully as she smiled faintly*
You knew you were going to get it, but you didnt know it would be the paddle...?

*terran631* · 10-18-2002, 07:04 PM

Mike *looks shocked* I never even KNEW he HAD it! I'd never seen it before until he walked into my room. But boy did I notice it first thing. I got the lecture from hell, but I don't remember a word of it...well *pauses* That's not entirely true. I remember him reminding me that my word is my bond and he did not want an untrustworthy child. He told me that I was old enough to know not to lie, that we had "discussed" it before. But this time my lie could've cost Raphael his life and he would've died if he had been out there ten minutes longer. He told me that if I had confessed the first time, I wouldn't be facing what I was now. *laughs* Facing? My face wasn't the part of me burning for the rest of the day. I counted..he gave me 20 good whacks with that thing and had me hang it in the study where we would all be reminded how important honesty was.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-18-2002, 07:08 PM

*She looked at him like he had six heads, and looked down, shaking her head*
Ouch...I know the feeling...I take it you didnt lie again for a good long time...? What did your brothers say?

*terran631* · 10-18-2002, 07:12 PM

Mike: Not until the whole alcohol thing a few days ago and that paddle's bite does not get easier as you get older either. No one said anything about it. But they all knew. There was no way they could not have known. Machias, but the worst thing was...for months after the whole thing happened...I could never say the word "honest" to him. I always got the feeling he wouldn't believe me anyway.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-18-2002, 07:16 PM

(( *applauds wildly* Dang, that was GOOD!!! love to see a fully writtien version of that someday...))

*She looks down, sniffing*
Kinda how i feel most of the time...like he doesnt trust me anymore...

*terran631* · 10-18-2002, 07:20 PM

((Eh..doubtful. But thanks. Feel free to try it.

The whole paddle thing might not work outside the RP though))

Mike: *nods* What you did was wrong. What you've been doing was wrong. But it doesnt have to be the end of the world. You just gotta stop sulking and get started proving that you are trustworthy.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-18-2002, 07:27 PM

I know what i did was wrong...And i've always tried to jmake up for them somehow. *She turns to face him* I try, i really do...I just get hit by so many obstacles...Raph, this damned half of me that likes to come out every once in a while...*looks up at Mike, before wrapping her arms around his neck* It scared me so much, but i wouldnt let it hurt you...i never would. *sighs* Now i just have to get past the other one...it just seems no matter what i do to fix things, it blows up in my face. *Hmphs* All the work i did on Don's boat is probably all wrecked...

*terran631* · 10-18-2002, 07:35 PM

((I'm gonna go after this..must shower and catch up on sleep

Heh..the next improv fanfic is yours to write))

Mike: *desperately* Machias, you're still not getting it. *he pulls her closer to him* You don't have to make up for anything! Even when you screw up. You just gotta keep the same thing from happening again. *sighs* I know you try and I know it's hard because of well...everything. But ignore Raph. What the hell good is it doing you to worry about him? Who cares what he thinks of you. I don't. Just worry about showing Splinter you can be trusted. Everything else will work itself out.
