Mikey sat in his room, humming to himself as he daydreamed about crognard and fun adventure. “Oo! I should bake cookies for everyone! I've always wanted to do that, shouldn't be too different from cooking!” Mikey shouts excitedly. He stands up from his floor and turns off the tv. He hums to himself as he goes down the hall towards the kitchen “huh? Do we even have the stuff to make cookies?” he thinks to himself “maybe i should text April to get some ingredients". Mikey takes out his t-phone and sends a quick message to April.

A few moments later April stopped by and dropped the ingredients Mikey needed. He quickly thanked April and asked if she wanted to help but she had said she needed to do some school project with a friend. Mikey just said it was fine and said he would save her some. He quickly sets up the kitchen.
“Okay ice-cream kitty, this is gonna be the best cookies we will ever make!” Mikey says and pets ice-cream kitty. She meows back happily and Mikey makes a DIY little chef hat for her out of some paper scraps, even if it isn't accurate, she just looks too cute to judge.
Mikey pulls out his t-phone and finds a cookie recipe, “ugh, maybe we should wing it” he says to ice-cream kitty, she meows and nods. Mikey smiles and sets his t-phone away “yeah! How hard can it even be!” Mikey jokes.

It went so bad… mikey was trying to extinguish the mini fire starting in the stove and he was so embarrassed, i mean he’s supposed to be the amazing cook of the family, but i guess he’s got lots to cook, plus baking is way different then cooking! I mean baking is like science, mikey just isnt for that! “Oh my god, the bros are gonna freak if they see this-” mikey says but quickly gets interrupted by donnie “see what- Holy chulupa! Mikey! What did you do!” mikey quickly turns around and try to hide the mini flame with smoke coming out the oven “nothing d! I was just..uh…doing experiments with cookies? It was supposed to do this” mikey tries to cover up but he knows its no use when black smoke is flowing above mikeys head.
Donnie quickly extinguished the fire and looked at mikey annoyed “what were you even trying to do?” he says with a deadpan expression and mikey groans “i was trying to make cookies..but i wanted to just..wing it?” Mikey explains and donnie. Donnie just looks at ice cream kitty and her being exhausted from trying to extinguish the fire earlier, he glanced back at mikey “and you thought that would turn out good? Mikey, it's dangerous! What if that fire burned the whole lair down!?” mikey cringes and speaks up “i know i know but it didnt! And i just wanted to make cookies for everyone, its just boring these days..” mikey figets and donnie observed this, he understood. Mikey was just trying to do something nice.
Its quiet for a moment and Donnie finally speaks “well i could help? I'm not doing anything important in the lab and April and Casey are busy on the topside.” he says “wait really!” mikey lights up “yeah really” donnie repiles “thats awesome dude, we can make lots and lots for them and give some to master spilter and leo and raph, i bet they’ll be super shocked i let you bake” Mikey rambles and Donnie listens, forgetting how enjoyable it is to hang out with mikey "lets just clean up first and we can start" donnie smiles and mikey nods. this is totally the best day.
