Turtles! (Entire Chapter Is Supposed to be Focused on Leo and Raphael)
Title : Welcome To The West!
Chapter 11 : Round Up In The Pasture!
Two riders on horseback were riding towards the pasture on the farm. The two riders were, Leonardo and Raphael. They rode for a little while longer and then came to a stop. Leonardo looked out at the grass and trees. He cleared his throat and stated,
" Alright…..Splinter said that the sheep that got out headed in that direction." Leonardo pointed to the east. Raphael sighed and replied,
" Then what are we waiting around here for let's get to it." Leonardo and Raphael took off on their horses and headed east. Raphael and Leonardo knew what they were going to do. The turtle with the red bandana grabbed hold of his rope as he rode in the direction of the sheep. Raphael then sighed and asked,
" Uh…..exactly how many sheep did, Splinter say got out?." Leonardo replied,
" About ten of them if I recall." Raphael opened his eyes wide and stated,
" Ten…then why didn't we bring the others with us." His older brother replied,
" Because….this will only take two of us….and you need the practice." Raphael looked at his older brother and stated,
" Me?….huh?." Raphael and Leonardo started to swing their ropes in the air. The turtle with the red mask spotted one of the sheep and tossed his rope. The sheep freaked out and took off in a run. When the rope went around it's legs, Raphael yanked it tight and stated, " Got him." He then started to tie the rope to the front of the saddle. Leonardo flung his rope in the air and tossed it. The rope went around one of the sheep's legs and he pulled it tight. Leonardo stated,
" That's one for me…..we've got eight left." Leonardo and Raphael kicked their horses and they rode them further in to the pasture where the other eight were located. Raphael looked at his older brother and then remembered why he admired him so much. He looked ahead and saw five of the sheep they were after. Raphael slowed down a bit and then Leonardo did the same. Leo eyed the sheep and stated, " Alright….I'll go around and heard them to you….understood?." Raphael nodded his head. Leonardo then took off. Raphael waited until his older brother got around the back of them. Leo then proceeded to ride his horse towards the sheep. Raphael pulled out his lasso and swung it above his head. He tossed the noose so smoothly that he tagged two of them around their neck's. Raphael yanked on it and tightened the rope so they couldn't move. Leo looked at the other six sheep and then stated, " Alright…..now how do we get the other six of them rounded up?." Raphael was holding on to the two he'd tagged earlier. He looked at his older brother and asked,
" Do you have another rope?." Leonardo reached in to his saddle and pulled out another rope. Leonardo smiled and replied,
" Yup." Raphael looked at his saddle and stated,
" I've got two more ropes…..that should be enough." Leonardo and Raphael looked to the right and saw the other six sheep. They kicked their horses and rode towards them. Raphael and Leonardo pulled their two ropes out and started to swing their lasso's in the air. Leonardo then tossed his rope and caught two of them around the necks. He pulled the rope and tightened it so they couldn't get away. Raphael looked at the other four and pulled out his rope. He put a noose in to this rope as well and proceeded to swing it above his head. Raphael rode towards the four sheep and tossed his noose. The rope went around two of them and the other two backed away from them a little ways. Raphael then looked at the two sheep that were left. He pulled out the last rope he had and proceeded to put another noose into it as well. Raphael looked up at the sheep again and started to swing the rope above his head. He tossed it and caught both of them around the necks. Raphael pulled the rope and tightened it so they couldn't get away. He then tied it around his saddle. Raphael then proceeded to ride back to where, Leonardo was. Leo looked up at his brother and stated,
" Good job, Raphael." Raphael smiled at his older brother and replied,
" Alright….now let's head home." Leonardo and Raphael then kicked their horses and proceeded to take the heard back to the barn.
