Flatter

Screaming around corners, high on adrenaline, barking chaotic orders that no one heard or understood.

"Why is Karai still chasing us?" Raph snorted darkly, throwing evil, dangerous glares at his older brother.

"I don't know!" Leo replied, trying to think, fingertips pressed against his temples.

"Well do something!" squeaked Donnie, peering at his computer screen. "She's almost on top of us!"

"We could flatter her?" whispered Leo, for once at a sudden loss for what to do.

"What?" came Mikey's confused reply, tongue hanging out at a ridiculous angle, hands taut against the steering wheel.

"Flatter Mikey! Y'know? Flatter!" was Raph's insistent reply.

In an instant, before anyone could speak, four plastrons hit the windshield as the van screeched in reverse. At the same time, a sickening thud was heard, as well as the sound of crunching metal.

"Mikey!" yelled Leonardo, horrified. "When I said flatter her I meant-" his words were stopped dead by a powerful, emerald arm slammed against his plastron.

Golden orbs blazed demonically as his lips twisted into a sardonic grin.

"Leave it Leo." Raphael smiled. "I like Mikey's understandin' better."


A/N: Get it? Flat ... her? Yeah I know, bad joke, but I couldn't resist the pun. Running late with this one (though it's still day three here in Oz!). Still plugging through this mammoth crochet blanket ... I wonder if Raph ever gets fatigued with his knitting? But when I finish, I promise I'll review! Only two rows left ... I think!

Rant, rave, review ... oh and to answer JH24's question ... yes ... it was Sensei's room ... definitely a no man's land to four teenage turtles! LOL!

Should I call out the lurkers? ... hmmm perhaps I should ... Angel Veins I'm looking at you ... *peers deeply into the computer screen* ...
