OK guys next chapter. Sorry if my random updating is giving everybody whiplash but I seem to run out of ideas just as quickly as I get them. I don't own the Ninja Turtles (as we're all well aware of). Completely off the subject but who else is obsessed with toy story 3 right now? It came out in Australia the other day and I was all like "WOOOOOOO!" Isn't it awesome? I cried. Anyway back on topic, this is the next chapter and I hope you guys like.

...

Mona stood behind the store counter watching April pace back and forth. Casey was late and, although Mona would never tell April this, she found that extremely amusing. It was always entertaining to watch Casey get in trouble. It wasn't that Mona didn't like Casey, in fact she saw him as one of her closest friends, it was just fun to mess with him, and the best way to mess with him was through April. Mona drew her attention back to April, who was still pacing around like mad.

"Calm down Red, your gonna burn a hole in the carpet." Mona said, fiddling with one of the pens on the counter. "And besides, you don't want to get that pretty dress ruined do you?"

April looked down at her dress. It was made of yellow silk and stopped just above her knees. Her hair was pulled up in a loose bun and she wore a pair of glittering earrings that match perfectly with the necklace she had on. It took a moment for her to realize that she had put too much work into herself to ruin it through stress. "Well where is he?" She asked, fixing up her dress.

"Oh probably out fighting crime" That was what Mona said whenever Casey was missing. She had only recently learned that it was true. Every night Casey would don his hockey gear and go play vigilante with some of the turtles...usually Raph.

April shot her a dirty look and was about to say something when the familiar sounds of motorbike engines. The sound came to an abrupt halt and the two women heard voices get louder and louder until they reached the back door.

"Hey Babe!" Casey called as he walked through the back of the store. As Mona had suspected he was wearing his vigilante get-up and had Raphael with him.

"Oooh your in for it now." Mona whispered, trying to hide her smile behind the pen.

Whatever sanity April had been trying to hold on to completely disappeared as she stormed over to Casey. "Casey Jones where have you been? What the hell are you wearing? Get upstairs right now and change! i can't believe you would do this tonight of all nights!"

"Why, what's tonight?"

"Wrong question, buddy" Raph said to himself.

"Anniversary" Mona mouthed from behind April, she might not get along with Casey but she didn't want April to kill him.

"Of what?" He asked bluntly. Mona and Raphael both cringed at his answer and prepared themselves for what was going to follow.

April lost hold of whatever sanity had left. Of what? OF WHAT? Of all the selfish, lazy, inconsiderate men in the world why did I have to choose you? Our Anniversary, Casey, It's OUR anniversary! I've been telling you for weeks now. I told you yesterday, I told you This Morning! How could you forget?"

"Look babe, I'm sorry alright? I didn't mean to forget, I guess I just...got distracted. Listen, I'll make it up to you OK? How 'bout I take you out to dinner?" Casey offered, trying to win April over.

"We were supposed to be going out to dinner tonight anyway." April yelled in annoyance. Casey just looked at her apologetically and stayed silent.

April sighed. "alright," she said softly. "Just go upstairs, get dressed and we'll go. I don't have time to deal with this right now."

Without a word, Casey climbed the stairs and went to get changed. April stood there for a while, all her rage turned to sadness.

"April, sweetie, are you OK?" Mona asked, putting her hand on Aprils shoulder.

She nodded" Yeah, I'm fine guys...I'll be back in a second." April slowly headed up the stairs in search of Casey, leaving Mona and Raph alone in her store.

"Wow..." Raph said after a while "Women really are crazy."

"Hey, he forgot their anniversary, she has a right to be crazy." Mona snapped at him.

"Aw c'mon Mona it's just a day, April has no right to get all cranky over that"

"Men!" She cried, throwing her hands in the air "Look, it doesn't matter what it is, it's important to April so it should be important to Casey too."

"Why?"

"Because...that's how it is in a relationship. When you care care about someone then what matters to them, matters to you." She said sweetly.

"Uh-huh, so where do you stand with this anniversary stuff?"

"Oh, I don't really care that much."

"So you wouldn't care if I guy forgot it?"

"Are you kidding?" She nearly yelled at him. "If a guy forgot our anniversary I would rip him to shreads."

Raphael looked confused. "but you just said-"

"It doesn't matter what I said" Mona explained to him. "Women say lots of things, the point is if he forgets hes screwed."

"Can't they just say what they mean and stick to it?"

Mona shook her head. "Not how it works, doll."

"And could you stop calling me 'doll'?" he told her. "I never hear you call anyone else doll."

"Fine, what else do you want me to call you? I could call you munchkin or princess or babyface or sweetums-"

"Mona!"

"Or, hears a good one, 'Pumpkin'!"

"Mona..."

"Oh fine!" She pouted. "Oh my God I almost forgot."Suddenly her face lit up and she ran to the back room, returning with a shopping bag. "Here."

Raph took the bag off her. "Uh...thanks?"

"Open it." She laughed.

Raphael opened the bag and pulled out a fedora. It was old and beaten but still in one piece. "Is this...my hat?"

"Uh huh. I found it on the roof the other day." She told him, still smiling. "I decided I was going to add a little something to it before I gave it back Look inside."

He flipped the hat around, looking for whatever 'modification' Mona could of added to it. Then he saw it. Tiny pink stitching that read "To Dollface, This is what you get for leaving your stuff at my place. Love Mona"

...

Mona stood behind the counter playing with the same pen she'd been holding for over 3 hours now. The cap had gone missing and the ink had started to leak but she still hadn't put it down. She was alone in the store, April and Casey had left on their date and Raphael had gone when Mona informed him that having a giant turtle in the store wasn't good for business. He seemed very hesitant on leaving, claiming that he'd seen 'like 100' foot ninja tonight and it might not be safe for her in the store. Mona just laughed in his face and told him that if he wanted to hang out with her so badly then she would come over tomorrow night. Raph just grunted at her and left after that. He was still mad at her for 'ruining' his hat.

She twirl the pen between her fingers and started writing equations on the counter-again. Mona was pretty sure that April would make her clean them off like she did last time but Mona didn't care, she was too busy trying not to die from boredom. Why April kept the store open at night was beyond her. Who went shopping for antiques in the middle of the night? Actually, Mona didn't care as long as she got paid. More time went by and more equations were drawn on the counter top. It was just about time to close up when Mona heard a bell ring.

"Hello?" She called out. She craned her neck to get a better view of the door. No one was there. she shook her head and went back to graffiting store property.

Until the bell chimed again.

She looked up. "OK, I know I didn't imagine that."

Mona got up and slowly headed towards the door. Her view of corners was blocked by millions of antiques, Mona couldn't see anything except what was in front of her. Her heart was racing as her mind played out every possible scenario that it could think of. Finally, she got to a place where she had a clear view of the door and saw...nothing. Just the door singing back and forth in the wind. She let out a sigh and went to pull it shut, mentally scolding herself for being so paranoid.

"Stupid wind." She muttered to herself as she turned around and began heading back to the store counter.

"Are you Miss O'Neil?" Mona screamed and jumped back as a black figure appeared in front of her. She recognized it immediately. It was one of those 'foot ninja' the guys were always talking about, the ones that jumped her in the alleyway. She backed away and started running for the door, only to be stopped by another foot ninja.

"There's no use trying to escape, Miss O'Neil." The first one said as his buddy's began crawling out of the shadows. The were dozens of them, it was a miracle they all fit in the store.

Mona spun around wildly, trying to find a way out. "M-miss O'Neil? W-what are y-you talking about?" She had no idea what was going on. Did hese guys think she was April?

"Are you Miss O'Neil?" the First guy repeated. "Do you know the turtles?"

That got Mona's attention. "The turtles? The guys? What do you want with them?"

"Ah" Mona couldn't see his face but it sounded like he was smiling. "So you do know them."

"Yeah I know the turtles." She said slowly. "But I'm not telling you where they are so if you think-"

"Oh, Miss O'Neil," the first guy laughed. "It's not the turtles we want. It's You."

"What do you want with Miss O'Neil, I mean April, I mean me." Mona may not have known what was going on but there was no way she was giving April up to these guys. If they were really so stupid as to think she was April, then she would have to be April. "fine, you guys want me, then your going to have to come get me. I took you on once, I can do it again...I think."

"As you wish, Miss O'Neil."

...

AT THE LAIR:

Donnie sat in his lab working on his latest invention, while his brothers, Mikey and Raph, were up to their usual business of fighting over the remote.

"Raph, give it back, you had your turn!"

"Who says you even get a turn!"

"But I wanna play Super Mario Carts!"

"Not while I'm watching wrestling you ain't"

"Guys, could you knock it off" Don called from his lab. "I'm trying to work here."

"Sorry Donnie" They called back.

Don shook his head and went back to work. "I live with children." He muttered to himself. Slowly, the noise from the living room began again. It became so loud that Don could barely hear the telephone ring. "Can someone get that? I'm kinda busy...Guys?...Is anyone gonna answer the phone?"

He pulled himself up from his chair and walked over to the old payphone that was ringing. "Hello?" He said, slightly annoyed.

the person on the other end was in hysterics. It sounded female but Donnie couldn't make out a word she was saying through the noise.

"Hold on." He told her. Don cover the receiver with his hand and called over his shoulder. "Guys could you please keep it down? I'm on the phone."

"Sorry Donnie" They called again.

Don sighed. "OK, go." He told the person on the other end.

"Donnie, it's April-"

"Oh hey April, what's up?"

"Donnie, it's the store, it's been robbed or ransacked or something. we found some stuff and we think it might be the foot again. Donnie, we've looked everywhere and we can't find her."

Don sat up straight as his ninja instincts began to kick in. "April, calm down. Start from the beginning. What happened?"

April was crying into the receiver. "She's missing, Donnie, she's missing."

"Who's missing?" Don heard April inhale sharply and he prepared himself for what she was about to say.

"Mona."

...

AHHHHHHHHHH! NOOOOO! Ok I admit it got kinda obvious and the foot ninja would have to be really stupid to not know who April was but whatever. I'd like to know what you think of this chapter seeing as it's been a while since I updated. I'm very excited coz it's my birthday soon (Yippee!). So comment and tell me what you think. I accept all kinds of reviews. I'm also looking for ideas so if you've got any then please share. So, while you all read this, I am going to go see toy story 3 again :)
