Since I'm probs not gonna get to update anytime soon thought I'd give ya a double dose!
Prank Call
Mikey pushed the buttons on the controller frantically he was so close to defeating the boss he could taste it. He had one final hit and away it would go. He readied for it, when a second character swooped out of nowhere and landed the final blow taking the credit for it.
"NO!" he yelled into the headset, probably making a few people angry.
"Gotcha," said a feminine voice that rang with the clarity of bells.
"You did that?!" he said angrily. "That was a cheap shot!"
"Hey opportunity knocked, I simply answered the door," she said laughing. "You did great by the way."
"Is the newbie telling me I did good?" he scoffed still irked she conned him out of the experience points.
"Did well," she corrected. "And dude, Newbie? Look again."
Her handle was Rose Van Gatlin, and her experience points were about one thousand more than his. "Damn," he whispered. "You beta-ed didn't you?" he asked.
"Uh huh," she said sighing, "Are you gonna call me a cheater to?"
"I would," he said chuckling. "But I kinda Beta test for a living right now, so I got no room to talk."
"Ah, the sweet joy of making money off playing video games," she said sighing.
"You bet," he said smiling. "Beats working in an office all day." He had no experience of course being a mutant turtle for Pete's sake but it sounded boring.
"Ah," she sighed contentedly. "No paper cuts or ink cartridges."
"Nope, just hand cramps and headaches." he chuckled. His stomach growled "And some serious lack of food."
"Dude, I would not be here right now without the sweet joy of pizza and Red Bull," she said laughing.
"Speaking of," he said picking up his Shell cell. "Pizza sounds great; I think I'll order one."
"I got one on the way," she said triumphantly.
"Hey, he said hesitantly. "You got a name?"
"Depends."
"On what?"
"Well, on if you're a serial killer for one thing," she chuckled.
"Nope," he laughed. "Anything else it may or may not depend on?"
"If you have a name?" she said.
"Michelangelo," he said. "Or Mikey, or Battle Nexus Champion, which ever you prefer."
"Oh what game was that I might want to steal your title," she teased.
Crap, he thought. "Was never released, too many bugs," he covered.
"Damn," she cursed. "That sounded fun."
"It was, under all the annoying, so what should I call you? Or do you prefer Rose?" he asked.
"Call me Wren," she said before signing off.
"Okay Wren," he said taking the headset off and getting up to call in a pizza. No sooner does he get up from the couch when Don yells from his lab.
"NOOOOO!" he yelled. Every screen on his computer was displaying a video of cartoon characters caramelldansen. "How did you do that?"
"That's for me to know and you to wonder about," said a feminine voice. The annoying techno music blared as Don tried to trace the hacker. The signal kept bouncing between Beijing, Tokyo, London and Kansas. "Good luck," she chuckled. "You're gonna need it."
She hung up, causing Don to yell and curse the day he ever became a tech help phone operator. He wanted to know what she took. He went through every file but everything was untouched. He had to find her. Whoever she was he would find her and he would look in the eyes of the woman who had violated his baby.
Kin leaned back in her chair and looked at Emmalee who was putting up her gaming stuff. They convulsed in giggles. Emmalee fell back her black hair fanning out, her bright green eyes sparkling with laughter. "Best prank ever."
Hope ya'll liked it!
