Destroyed Studio's Presents:
A Strange Form of Entertainment
Laughter filled the lair and the sound of singing floated into the kitchen from the living room. With their interest peeked, three brothers lifted their heads and looked at their youngest sibling who was sitting on the living room couch. Raph stood up, abandoning his cereal, and walked over to the blue couch. Leo and Don went back to drinking tea and reading their books.
"We're men! Manly men! Men in tights! Tight tights!"
Raph watched the movie with horrified interest as the men in green tights and hats with pheasant feathers danced around the screen singing like idiots. A guy with sunglasses punched another in face, seemingly by accident, and then continued to dance with the others. Raph's eye ridge rose in question as they grabbed the end of their shirts and swished them back and forth singing that they weren't pansies.
"Could' a fooled me," Raph said with a role of his eyes. "Mikey, what sort of crap are ya watch'n anyways?"
Mikey stopped laughing and looked over his shoulder at his brother. He grinned. "It's Robin Hood: Men in Tights! Hilarious! You need to watch it!"
The movie had turned to Robin Hood? Raph guessed it was him, singing opera to a scantly dressed broad with orange frizzy hair. Raph shook his head but sat down anyways. Five minutes later, he was laughing right along with Mikey.
Their laughter brought Leo into the room. At first glance he thought they had both gone insane but after looking at what they were watching he understood why they were hysterical. Some woman was looking goo-goo eyed at a guy who was bellowing to her. He quietly sat down next to Raph and watched the comedy roll out before him.
Wondering were in the world his brothers went, Donny walked into the living room and his eye ridge rose. If he remembered correctly, this was the movie Casey had forced him to watch, Robin Hood: Men in Tights. It was right at the part where Robin was singing to Marian and his men thought the sword was 'something' else. Don shook his head when Mikey let out a whoop.
Such a strange child, he thought taking a seat next to the youngest. He had already seen it but he didn't have anything else to do. He had finished all his projects and was taking a well-deserved break. And he needed some lighthearted entertainment.
Half way through the ending, April had come over and joined them on the couch. She laughed along with the guys at all the innuendos and commented on how stupid Marian was. Once the movie was over they all burst into laughter when Robin couldn't open the chastity belt.
Mikey turned off the TV and bid everyone fare well as he rushed to tend to his comics. April said goodbye and went back to her apartment for the night. Don and Leo went back to the kitchen table and Raph went to his room to turn in early.
Later that night when the lair was quiet, Splinter slinked out of his room as quiet as a, uh, rat. Unknown to his sons, he had watched the movie since Don had joined his brothers in the room. He had been quite…disturbed.
"Such a strange form of entertainment," he said out loud, sitting down on the puny cushion of the couch. He picked up the remote and clicked on the TV and DVD player. The screen for Men in Tights came up and he clicked play. The old rat grinned as the opening credits came on and the whole hilarity started over again.
"A strange form, but a funny one."
Eh. Don't ask why I spent my time writing this thing. This thing had no plot whatsoever. It's not even good! I just finished watching Men In Tights and needed to write something with it. This wasn't the original idea though... I hope it's not too bad. (Sigh...) If yer gonna flame, don't review.
TCT :(
(I'm not too happy...)
