Down With The Sickness

Start from the beginning
                                    

"This year's gonna be different. Nobody's getting bit. Nobody's getting infected," Raph said.

"When we do make it to the end, which I'm now calling the Must Say Yes stage, what are we gonna ask for?" Leo asked.

Everyone stares at Raph.

"Well, this year, I was thinking we could ask for, uh, um, er—uh . . ." Raph said.

"You have no idea what to ask for, do you," Shadow asked.

"Aww, he's got nothing. We're dead," Leo complained.

"Hey, I got something, all right? Like a, uh . . . ." Raph said.

"Uranium! Oh, we should absolutely ask for uranium. I mean, if I could finally get my hands on a little of that, we would be virtually unstoppa . . . ." Donnie cuts off.

"What about a brick oven for pizza?" Mikey cuts off as he jumps in front of Donnie.

"Who's gonna clean that? What we should ask for is matching unicorn onesies. Those are sick! Pun intended. And I nailed it," Leo cuts off as he shoves them aside.

They grunt as they wrestle with each other.

"Enough. I got this, all right? I'm gonna ask Splinter for something that benefits all of us," Raph stated.

"This is so exciting! But terrible for Dad," Mikey said.

Mikey stares as if he saw a breath. He breathes and then exhales, seeing his breath. Raph blows on his hand and sees his breath.

"Buckle up, guys. It's about to get weird," Raph said.

"Stage 1: Fever!" Narrator announced.

"Fever," Charmy exclaimed, breaking the 4th wall.

The air whooshing through the vents of the air conditioning unit. Splinter stands before it in his underwear, babbling under his breath. Suddenly lifts an electric razor into the air. We're in the center of the lair, a heat lamp over us. We all huddled together and shivered. Leo, in a full body parka, sits a foot away, sipping a hot beverage.

"I hate stage one. Think warm thoughts. Pizza ovens. Bricks from Italy. Wood chips roasting," Mikey said while shivering.

"How long will his fever break," I asked while shivering.

"We're four hours in. His fever's gotta break soon," Raph replied.

"How come Leo's getting warm and we don't," Sonic complained.

"I told you guys to plan ahead. Now I'm sitting here all toasty," Leo said.

As a shadow appears. All look stunned and Leo spits out his drink.

"What? Wha . . . why?" Leo exclaimed.

"Had to air myself out," Splinter said as all of his fur shaved off.

He falls on his face as wisps of smoke rise off of him. Then he growls and lifts his head, screeching and looking demonic. We start screaming as he charges at us and begins chasing us.

"Stage 2: Wild Rat Man!" Narrator announced.

"Wild Rat Man, what?!" Manic exclaimed, breaking the 4th wall.

We started screaming as we ran along the balcony in the lair with Splinter chasing them. Some of us are in full hazmat suits, while others are trying to get into theirs.

"Don't eat me! Raph and the hedgehogs are tastier!" Mikey exclaimed.

"Not now, Mikey," Sonia and Manic exclaimed.
