TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Peppers)!

Well, I have to say, the subject is a little exagerated... they are in fact too young to be teenagers.
This is the thing. I had most of my plants in a pot not too deep. When they grew, I moved most of them to bigger pots, and left a couple in the pot because I had no more space to put them. They won´t grow too much (well, one of the them actually did), but in case some plague attacks the big one, I could transplant one of these. Apartment gardening, you could call it. However.
I had two thais, one that looks like another variety of thai (but grow a lot more than the others), and a mistery one in the pot. A couple of days ago, I noticed new sprouts were emerging. I didn´t plant seeds, but you know, it happens, I will never know why.
But yesterday I noticed something really, but really weird... it´s the leaves. They first pair they grew were certainly a first pair of pepper leaves. Or so I thought. But then... well, see it for yourselves:

What´s that??!!??!?! Did I grow mutant plants?????? Are they even peppers? I swear, I had no doubt they were with their first pair of leaves... but now they don´t seem peppers anymore. But they are in the pepper´s pot, so... I don´t know.
Any clues?

Great, thank you so much, it has to be tomato then. No birds, for sure, it´s an indoor crop... and I didn´t throw any tomato or tomato seeds. Weird, but indeed, it happens.
Thanks again!  :P

Agree. The problem with an indoor tomato growing is that one plant won´t provide more than some tomatos, and I have no room for more plants.
But now that they appeared, I have to keep one plant, and see what happens... I just have to, hahaha,

At your request, I´m sending pics of the plant.
Looks like it is tomato indeed. Classic yellow flowers... and clasically attracting all kinds of pests. I found legions of them, even battling one race against the other, under those poor and few leaves.
 
So, not in its best shape...

 

 

 
Looks like a little tomato is developing:

 
I don´t know how much I will keep it, because it like a magnet to bugs, which they tend to jump, of course, to the pepper plants. Besides, I don´t really have place for another big plant. But I´m still curious about what will grow up. Hopefully, it´s a cherry plant, which I could keep. BTW, more sprouts are emerging in different... And I´m totally clueless of its origin.

Well, I´ll give it a try...The only problem is that I have in a very small pot, so I don´t think that it will grow too big... but I´m curious enough to see what type of tomatoes it will grow, so I´m keeping it a little more  :P

Late response, but......
 
I get "volunteer" tomatoes in the eighth acre every year. all one needs is to toss just one overripe aside or a couple get forgotten in the fall, and for the next several years they can decide to germ and establish. I got a yellow pear tomato last year in an opposite corner of the garden, and the last time I planted yellow pear tomatoes was 5 years ago!
 
The volunteers are heirloom and seem to grow and produce faster than anything you might baby on a seedling shelf.
