Summary: The real reason Raph likes his sai so much. Just a quicky but you might get a kick outta it.
A/N: Okay so this is my first TMNT thingymabob. Whoohoo! Go me! I haven't seen anybody else do this so I should be good in that department. If by any chance someone DID have this idea first, well sorry.
Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT but I did have a turtle named Michelangelo once. Hmm wonder if he's still around?
A Weapon to Match
Raph had gone into the kitchen for a drink after a night out on the town busting heads with Casey when heard his brothers discussing why he'd chosen the sai as his weapon. He didn't really mean to eavesdrop – well okay, he did – but it was hard when they weren't being quiet about it and he was really, really thirsty and had no intention of putting down the carton of orange juice anytime soon. He'd learned from a past mistake that it wouldn't be there later thanks to a garbage disposal known as Michelangelo.
Donnie thought he'd picked it because he liked the fact that he'd taken a defensive weapon and mastered it to the point that he was able to effectively utilize it in an offensive way.
He got the offensive part right anyway.
Leo got all deep and said something about being a defender of people and how it was kind of poetic to use a weapon designed for defense to do that.
Not even close bro, thought Raph.
Surprisingly it was Mikey who had the right answer. He'd just shaken his head at his brothers 'revealing' thoughts about Raph and his babies.
"Oh, what?" said Leo. "You think you know?"
Mikey got up from the couch. "It's really very simple bros. Raph picked the sai because he likes to flick people off." Leo and Donnie just stared at him. "You know flip 'em the bird? Put one up? The one fingered salute?"
The two other turtles shook their heads and laughed. "Where do you come up with these ideas Mikey?" asked Donnie.
Mikey just gave a shrug, "Fine, prove me wrong then." With that said he took his precious bag of chips and went to his room to continue his comic-bookathon.
Raph stifled a snicker as he finished chugging his carton of juice. So much for Fearless Leader and Brainac being smarter then ol' Goofball Mike. He threw the carton away and pulled out his twin sai. That wonderful longer center prong stuck up so beautifully. Just like a middle finger.
Raph grinned; he really liked the sai.
Sooo anyone wanna tell me what you thought? Good? Horrible? Funny? Get yourself some help you dork?
