For the most part Mikey was a go with the flow kind of turtle. He was laid back and easy going and happy to do most anything as long as he got to spend time with his family. There were however times that he got an idea into his head and he would not let go of it until he had seen it all the way through to the end.

Right now Mikey had it in his head that he wanted to watch the Final Four March Madness basketball games that were going to be playing tomorrow. Not only did he want to watch those games but he also wanted to watch them with Leo. There existed his problem.

Leo was not a huge sports fan himself. He would watch the occasional game if someone was already watching it on tv but he wouldn’t typically seek out such programs on his own. If Mikey wanted Leo to give up a few hours of his own time to sit down with him and watch basketball then Mikey was going to have to really bring his A game.

Part of bringing his A game was in making sure to approach Leo at just the right time. Timing was very important if Mikey wanted the best chance to receive the answer that he was looking for and the best time to go to Leo with his request was right after Leo had finished with his meditation session.

When Leo was done meditating he was always so calm after having come out of the astral plane and back into reality. Mikey knew this from personal experience and planned on using that to his full advantage as he approached Leo’s room right when he knew Leo was finishing up.

Mikey knocked on Leo’s bedroom door and received permission to enter. As Mikey walked into the room he closed the door behind him before walking up to Leo and kneeling down in front of where Leo was sitting.

“Is there something I can help you with Mikey?” Leo asked calmly, knowing without a shadow of a doubt that there was something that his mate wanted.

“Well I just wanted to ask for a favor,” Mikey began as he looked up between the few inches that separated them in height, deliberately fluttering his eyes and hoping that it made him look more alluring. “I was hoping that you might be able to watch some tv with me for a few hours tomorrow. I know you can get busy sometimes with training and stuff so I thought I would ask you today so I’m not waiting until the last minute.”

Leo peered at his mate curiously. Mikey was acting stranger than he normally was.

“I don’t mind watching tv with you tomorrow Mikey,” Leo offered. “What are you doing with your eyes though? Did you get some dust in them or something?”

“What? No,” Mikey said almost indignantly. “I was batting my eyelashes at you. It was supposed to make me look cute and for you to agree with me.”

Leo laughed lightly at the younger turtle’s reasoning. “But Mikey, we don’t have eyelashes,” Leo pointed out.

“Yeah well, it still worked anyway,” Mikey said as he stood up and walked out of the room in a huff, slightly put out that Leo had to ruin his idea about his nonexistent eyelashes.

Leo just shook his head and smiled as Mikey walked away. He may not have had eyelashes but that didn’t stop Mikey from being cute or from getting his way when he really wanted something.
