Mona's Wonderful Life
Chapter One
Festive Fights
The night was starry, yet a few clouds filled the air and snow began to fall heavily from the sky. The City of Chicago itself was also lit up and its lights reflected off the snow beautifully.
The whole city was decorated up for the seasonal holiday, sparkling lights and decorations filled every corner and high street and the shops too were showing such decoration for the festive season.
It was indeed a pretty sight, yet it was not the only thing that was showing such beauty and festive cheer.
Right below the city, unknown to the humans, was an underground world that was hidden to all, the city of Mutopia, a sanctuary for mutants.
Within the city, it was filled voices, some laughing, some shouting, and some arguing.
In the large dining hall, the Chicago Knights were putting up the huge Christmas Tree, Jack the Wolf was holding a ladder whilst Sarah the Cheetah was at the top hanging the lights.
"Careful up there Sarah!" Jack said "I'll right behind you if you fall!"
"I'm fine!" said Sarah as she hung a few more lights then looked down at Kate the Viper as she was hanging some baubles on the bottom "You doing okay down there Snake Girl?"
"I'm good!" Kate called up "Though I seem to be missing some silver ones!"
A laugh made the three mutants look up and they saw Percy the Grasshopper hanging onto a beam with Heather the Dragonfly flying next to him hanging up some green bushes and entwining lights and hanging decorations.
"Sorry babe!" said Percy "I got dibs!"
"Percy!" Kate roared, her eyes flashing and she stood up taking her whip off her back "You little thief! I'll get you for this!"
"Kate!" Sharky the Shark cried as he appeared from behind the tree "Calm down!"
But the enraged viper wouldn't listen and aimed her whip at Percy, Heather flew out of the way in shock and Sarah almost fell off the ladder, but luckily managed to balance herself.
"Nyah nyah!" Percy teased "You missed me!"
Kate struck at him again.
"I had those baubles first!" she screamed "Give them back!"
"I don't see your name written on them!" Percy retorted as he hopped away from Kate's whip.
"Percy!" Jack yelled "Quit it! If Tyroth see's you, you'll get your arse fried!"
But Percy seemed to be having so much fun teasing Kate, he didn't seem to care.
Just then he felt a whoosh of air speed past him which startled him so much he dropped the baubles and looking down he saw the lizard lady Monalisa standing below him and holding the silver baubles in her hand.
He then looked behind him and saw Sephie the Gecko standing there with her bow and Amber the Iguana standing next to her. Percy then saw the arrow she had fired embedded in the ceiling and he gulped.
"Trouble here guys?" asked Sephie looking up at Percy.
Mona meanwhile gave the silver baubles back to Kate who thanked her and gave Percy a look that said I'll-Give-You-Shit-Later to which Percy gulped.
"What's with the all whole messing around guys?" asked Sephie "We're starting our Christmas traditions soon and the hall's not ready!"
"We would have been done sooner if Percy wasn't fucking around!" said Kate as she continued to hang the baubles.
"I can see that!" said Sephie "But please! Can we just keep our fighting to an minimum just until everything's decorated?"
"Yes ma'm!" said Percy as he continued to help Heather.
"Everything alright in here?"
Everyone stopped what they were doing to see Tyroth the Dragon walking in with the four turtles.
"It is now." Said Jack "Now that Kate and Percy have stopped fighting!"
Tyroth frowned.
"Percy! What have I told you?"
"Sorry Boss!" said Percy "Just having a laugh!"
"It's only a laugh when everyone else is laughing!" Tyroth scolded "Now get on with your work! Hopefully all this'll be done by the time we get back!"
The Chicago Knights groaned and continued with their decorating whilst the other mutants walked outside.
"I swear!" said Sephie "One day Percy's going to wake up with broken knees one day!"
"No doubt about it!" said Amber.
"I don't know why Kate hasn't murdered him yet!" said Monalisa running a hand through her hair "The pranks he plays."
"I don't understand either" said Tyroth shrugging "They do give me a headache sometimes!"
"Sometimes I wonder if Kate has a worse temper than you Raph." Leonardo said.
"Agreed!" said Donatello.
"I think Raph's forever the true hot head!" said Michelangelo with a laugh to which the red masked turtle turned and narrowed his eyes at his younger brother.
The mutants walked through the ruins until they soon came to the resident areas, most of the rooms were made up to look all Christmassy with their own trees and decorations and they each had a sack they would leave outside their room to be filled with gifts.
"So, how's it going Big T?" asked Michelangelo, "It's your first Christmas with your family in so long! After you got reunited!"
"I'm so happy!" said Tyroth "I have to say, it's just amazing! All the nights I had before thinking I'd never see them again, and now here we are!"
"I'm pleased for you man!" said Michelangelo with a smile.
Amber walked up and hugged Tyroth's arm.
"Although the events that brought us here...weren't the most pleasant..."
Everyone shivered as they remembered and Mona squeezed her fists as she thought of the very people who they were thinking of.
Raphael noticed and wrapped an arm around his mate.
"No...it wasn't." Tyroth agreed "But like everything else, we survived it...and we're together again after so long!"
"In a way our dreams came true Ray Ray..." said Amber "We're together again, and mum and dad know you're alive!"
Tyroth nodded, even though the events that had brought them to this very moment, he couldn't help but think if it hadn't happened, then his mother and father would never had known he was alive.
"Yeah Jen-Jen..." he said, even though they had new names since their mutations they still referred to each other by their real names often.
"So when is it they're arriving?" asked Leonardo "Your mum and dad?"
"Tomorrow at 2.00pm." said Tyroth as he walked into one of the rooms which was a double with an ensuite bathroom that was decorated with holly and a small Christmas Tree "I want to make sure everything is ready and perfect for when they arrive."
"I'm sure it'll be fine love!" said Sephie with a smile.
"But this is our first Christmas since we met each other again!" said Tyroth "I want everything to work out great!"
"As long as we're together that's all that matters!" said Amber "That's my Christmas Wish!"
"And mine too!" said Sephie "That we're okay and we're all together!"
She then turned to the turtles and Mona "And that includes you too!"
"Awww!" said Michelangelo "Group hug!"
Everyone then gathered into the middle of the room and hugged each other.
"I love you guys!" said Tyroth.
"And we love you too!" everyone said.
As they hugged, Mona felt her heart beat in her chest and her stomach began to hurt slightly, as she had listened to Tyroth talk about his parents coming, she couldn't help but feel a slight disappointment that her family still had no idea what happened to her.
She chewed her lip and tried to push it aside, she had had certain feelings before, but now, it seemed less of a tingling spark, but turning into a flame.
Mona swallowed and looked up with a smile, she decided to meditate on the thought later, once everything was taken care of in preparing Mutopia for Christmas.
Some things just never change with the Chicago Knights, especially between Kate and Percy.
Oh dear...I think Mona's having those feelings again.
Stay tuned to see how she meditates on her feelings!
