Frog
Disclaimer- nope, nada
Inspired by watching the guys leap or fall forward. It's the arms reaching out and those long legs. Does not help watching the 2007 movie for the hundredth time.
He tensed for a moment then sprang forth, hands landing on Raphael's shoulders before leaping over his brother with the continued momentum. He landed slightly off, falling forward into Donatello who in turn reached for anything to help keep his balance, unfortunately for Leonardo, he was that object. The three went down in a heap and Raphael laughed. April came over, glanced at Raphael before deciding they didn't need the fighting that was about to start. She said the first thing that came to mind.
"You guys look more like frogs then turtles."
Donny, just about to knock Mikey in the head to get him to move, paused.
"We look nothing of the sort." He replied dryly.
Raph waved him off.
"How ya figure?"
'Ok, explain it or have Mikey show them?' She debated for a moment with herself.
"Would you mind if Mikey retried his leap, just without the pile up."
"You explain the frog comment I won't."
"Deal." She turned to Mikey who grinned. "Mind doing that again?"
"Not a problem."
Leo and Don stepped off to the side. Mikey got into position again.
"Watch how his legs move when he jumps and then how he curls forward like a frog leaping off the ground when he's on Raphael's shoulders." April explained with a gesture, Mikey leapt forth, legs coming together like a frog's. Anyone who saw him for the moment when he was just over Raph's head, legs tucked in, leaning forward so he wouldn't knock Raph in the head and arms pushing down on those shoulders would have to admit he did look like a frog with a shell. He landed gracefully infront of Raphael with a quick turn bowing to his audience.
"I see where the connection could be made. But please do not call us frogs." Leo said before picking up the bags from the trunk of the car to bring into the cabin.
"Yea they look weird." Mikey made a face before running after Leo with a few bags of his own. Raph shook his head. Don looked at April as a small smile came onto his face. "You think of the weirdest things April." "Someone has to."
