  Summary

  (CURRENTLY EDITING CHAPTERS, STORY MIGHT BE WEIRD UNTIL IM DONE LMFAO)

  Mikey’s always been a bit up in the clouds, but none of his brothers knew why. They assumed it was just because he didn’t have as many brain cells as the rest of them. But, after the Kraang invasion, it only seemed to get worse.

  Now they’re interested, and Mikey’s not really ready to tell them.
