Chapter 1 - Titanic
A/N: Hey. This is my first fanfic of Ninja Turtles so please don't be too hard on me. This will serve as a test. If no one reviewed, favorited, followed, or even read this story I won't continue it any longer and will probably delete it because I'm still not that confident with my writing skills. As the summary says, I'll be writing a series of one-shots showing the Turtles' reactions to every movie they've watched. Please note that obviously, the movies I'm going to do is what I've only watched, understood, and liked. So if you suggested something, I'll PM you first if I can write about it or not. Now, for the most important part:
DISCLAIMER: (seriously, who even reads this?) I do NOT own anything.
There! Now we can start. Presenting, TMNT: Movie Nights...
Movie: "Titanic"
"Hurry up guys! The movie's about to start!" Michelangelo called as he flipped and landed on the couch right next to Raph who was holding the popcorn. This caused him and the bowl of buttery goodness to bounce at the force and spill its contents all over his hot-headed older brother. "Mikey! Argh! Now look at what you've done!" Raph yelled and smacked him upside the head just as Don sat beside them.
"Mike, don't you know about the universal law of gravitation? It states that any two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them?"
Mikey looked at him blankly and obediently shook his head and Donnie sighed. "Right. Of course you don't. Let me put this simply. With gravity, what comes up must come down. Better?"
They stared at each other for a moment before Mikey grins and gives him a thumbs-up. "You have no idea what I'm saying do you?" Donnie deadpanned and Mikey gave him a double thumbs-up as Raph whack him on the head again.
Leo smiled as he sat on the armchair, watching his bickering brothers well… bicker. "What is this movie about anyway?"
"The movie's entitled 'Titanic', and I think it's about the ship that sank almost 100 years ago." Donatello informed as he turned on the TV. They all looked at him confused and Donnie looked at them right back, disbelief written on his face. "You have never heard of it before!?"
"Well duh. We're not exactly interested in the history of boats brainiac." Raph said sarcastically.
"Guys, the Titanic's very famous because it's the longest and biggest ship ever built during those times. It's also been dubbed as 'the ship who would never sink. Even if God did it himself'!"
"So… what happened to it?" Mikey asked through a mouthful of popcorn.
"Well…" Donnie said slowly and grinned sheepishly. "It sank."
Mikey suddenly raised an eyebrow. "Really? Bummer."
"People a hundred years ago really are idiots. Of course the ship would sink! All ships sink! And they should expect it because they even disrespected God by saying even He couldn't sink the friggin thing!" Raph yelled.
"Wow, never thought you'd be the religious one here Raph." Leo smirked.
"Don't you even start Fearless." Raph growled.
"But this movie is different," Don interrupted before things got completely out of hand. "I think it's about two people who fell in love with each other on board but, following the sinking of the ship… well, you'll find out later on. It's very tragic really."
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's watch it already!" Mikey said and gestured to the TV which is already showing the opening credits…
Hours later…
The living room was almost converted into a pool as the four turtles watched the ending credits roll on, popcorn all but forgotten on the floor. Everyone was crying, even Raph. Leo even shed a few tears or so and Don tried his hardest not to cry. But the worst of them all was Mikey, who was the one ultimately responsible for the flooding of the living room. He whined and cried as he kept on calling out Jack's name.
"JACK! Oh Jack! Why did you have to die!? Why didn't you just climbed onto that stupid floating wooden panel?! Rose would be lonely without you!" Mikey wailed as more tears flooded down his cheeks.
"If he hadn't just won that freakin' gamble none of this would've happened!" Raph yelled his own share of complaints.
"Why didn't he just grabbed onto one of the floating objects? I mean, the ship's got a lot of furniture! That way, he could've been saved!" Leo protested as he wiped a precarious tear away from his eye.
"I read its summary from the internet so I know it's tragic, but I never realized it was THIS bad!" Donnie gritted his teeth as he furiously wiped his tears away.
"So guys, what was your saddest part?" Leo grinned weakly, his eyes watering again a bit. "Mine's the part when I saw the Titanic's orchestra still playing even when the ship's slowly sinking so that way, they can get the people to be calm and to make them realize that panicking was not the answer. Man, that band was really selfless … Imagine, instead of running for their lives they chose instead to play music for the sake of the people on board!"
"MINE'S THE PART WHEN JACK DIIIIEEEEDDD!" Mikey practically wailed/screeched.
"Mine's when all those people died from the water and the cold. It was a total waste of lives and the saddest for me! Especially when I saw the scene of the two old people, hugging each other as the water gushed in their rooms…" Donnie recounted in sadness.
"Mine's the part when Rose threw the heart of the ocean necklace into the ocean! Doesn't she know that it's freakin expensive?!" Raph yelled and all turtles in the room glared at him, even Spike. He laughed weakly and held up his hands, "Ha, just kiddin guys. The saddest moment that happened there was when Rose died of an old age at the end, just after she recounted the whole thing."
"AND ALSO THE MUSIC AT THE ENDDDD!" Mikey wailed and suddenly grabbed and blew all the contents of his nose into Raph's bandana. This caused the red clad turtle to jump in surprise as he immediately untied his bandana and threw it away from him. "WHAT THE FRAGGIN SHELL!?" He bellowed. He suddenly grabbed Mikey just as the latter started to run and pinned him to the floor.
"So guys- YEOWW! THAT HURTS! What do you think of the movie!?" Mikey yelled as he fought out of Raph's grip. "Was- OW! WATCH IT! Was it worth watching!?"
They all looked at each other, grinning in spite of their tear-stained faces and red noses. They then all exclaimed in unison:
"You betcha!"
"I'M STILL NOT DONE WITH YOU KNUCKLEHEAD!"
"NOOO! JACK HELP MEEEE!"
Well, what do you think so far? Please let me know via reviews, PMs and stuff. I won't publish another chapter until I've seen at least a single review. That serves as a motivation for me to continue after all.
