A small bell chimed as she went through the door. Second Time Round was probably the most crowed store Mona had ever been in. she had come there straight after practice and was still wearing her gymnastics uniform and tracksuit.
Mona rang the bell on the counter. "Hello? I'm here"
a young, slender woman with curly urban hair and emerald green eyes came out from the back of the store. "Your late"
"yeah, sorry April. I was late for practice so the coach made me stay behind and do like a gazillion flips."
April put her hands on her hips "you got detention again didn't you?"
" Uh, no I did not. I was just..........................yeah I got detention again." Mona gave in.
"You'll never learn" April chuckled. She stepped aside and let Mona into the back of the store.
"Hey it wasn't my fault." Mona walked past.
"It never is" April called after her.
"I really mean it. The teacher hates me." Mona said from inside the bathroom.
April leaned next to the bathroom door and let out a sigh. " You know this is the 5th you've been late this month. I probably should fire you, or at least dock your pay."
Mona emerged from the bathroom in her work clothes. "You wouldn't do that."
"And why not?" April asked as she handed Mona a work apron.
"Coz You love me." She took the apron off April.
April looked skeptic. "Oh really?"
"Yes really" Mona stuck her tongue out at her. April just rolled her eyes.
Mona walked to her position behind the counter while April sorted boxes in the back of the shop. Mona sighed. Not much happened in April's shop besides the occasional customer. Her eyes drifted to the wall opposite her and admired the framed photos and newspaper clippings. the headlines said things like "Reporter against Police" and Channel 6 Reporter Saves the Day". They all had a picture of a red-headed reporter with a big smile on her face, wearing a tacky yellow jacket.
"Well Red, at lest you used to be interesting." She muttered to herself.
She jumped as the phone began ringing loudly. Hastily, she picked up the phone.
"Hello? I mean: Hello this is 2nd Time Around Antique store. how may I help you?" She corrected herself.
"Hi this is Donatello. Is April O'Neil there?"
Mona put the phone down and went to check. April was no longer there but Mona noticed that the door that led up to her apartment was open. She went back to the phone.
"Sorry she's busy at the moment. Can I take a message?"
"No, that's OK I'll wait." The kindly voice said.
"OK............" Mona was at a loss. Was she meant to make conversation with the stranger or go back to work?
"So....How are you?"
Good I guess. A little tired" Mona answered truthfully.
"Why are you tired?"
"I had gymnastics practice"
"You do gymnastics?" the voice asked.
"Yeah, hence the practice."
"Oh yeah" the voice chuckled nervously.
"Hey Donnie, who you talking to?" A loud voice called over the reciever.
"I don't know actually. Who is this?" the first voice asked.
"Uh....Mona."
"Oh. well it's nice to meet you-"
"I want to talk!" Mona could hear them fight over the receiver. Finally someone spoke.
"Hi I'm Mikey!" It was the loud, happy one that sounded slightly Californian.
" Hi Mikey." She said slowly.
"What's Your name?"
"Mona Lisa."
"what kind of a name is that?" she could hear the confusion in his voice.
"What kind of a name is Mikey?" Mona Snapped.
"Give me back the phone. I'm waiting for April." it was the first voice again.
"Make me" Said the second voice.
"what the hell is going on here?" OK, that voice was completely new.
"Raph, make Mikey give me the phone back."
"Make Donnie share the phone."
"Wait a sec, Whose on the phone?" the voice speaking was gruff and rude.
"mona lisa." the happy one said matter-of-factly.
"I got no idea who that is." The grumpy one stated.
"She's my new friend...OW! What was that for?"
"For being an idiot."
Mona heard them grappling for the phone again.
"Hello?" it was the first voice."Yes?" Mona was getting tired of this phone call she looked around for April.
"Gimme the phone!" the happy voice said.
Suddenly there was a loud crash and Mona heard bickering in the background.
"Hello?" This was a new voice yet again.
"Who are you?" Mona was officially tired of the annoying voices.
"Leonardo. Listen.........We'll call back later OK?"
"Fine." She said, immediately hanging up the phone. She looked around, wondering if the bizarre phone call she just had actually happened.
"Well, that was an experience." She muttered to herself.
