"Wilden Conundrum"
Episode Two
Someone opens the door. It's Alison. Her bright blonde hair illuminates the dreary moonlight.
A red car arrives in Rosewood. The car belongs to Mona. "Why did we do this?" Spencer finally breaks the silence, after what seemed like hours and hours of silence. Mona turns and looks at her with a look of broadened curiosity on her face.
"I agree with her," Hanna interrupts, to which Mona looks in the backseat, crinkling her forehead in precise frustration.
First the woman crinkled her forehead then she requested assistance in finding someone but Alison was not intent on this.
"What the hell?" Alison crinkles her nose in disgust. "You lost her. That's not my fucking fault." She whips her hair back and closes the door, but the woman stops it from shutting completely, and Alison turns around with an evil look in her face.
They just look at each other for moments on end before a red car passes by and she notices the liars are home.
"Thank you for helping us!" Mona waves goodbye to the girls. Afterwards she slams her foot determinedly on the gas pedal and bellows "You think you can outsmart me? Well think twice lady."
Jenna is in front of the mirror curling her hair and laughing at Shana behind her and asking "Are you still admiring me?"
"You're just so pretty..." Shana confesses. "I'm just so lucky to have someone as accepting as you..."
Right then her phone rings and her expression turns from joyous and lively to sullen and teary.
"I can't imagine what you must have went through, Gwendolyn, but you can't come wrecking my life just because you can't find a piece of yours." Alison explains her position, for even though she understood what this woman was going through she did not want to risk the fabrics of her life just to piece together someone else's.
Right then her mother walks down the steps and notices the teary eyed woman. It was as if she recognized her in five seconds flat. "G-Gwen?" She asks, tears flitting down her cheeks. "It's been forever since I've seen you. What's been going on? How grown up is your child?"
"M-Mom," Alison takes her mother aside and explains what's going on.
"Excuse me; I have to leave." Shana departs and enters the other room. Jenna, being incredibly nosy, exits the room as well and proceeds to eavesdrop.
"I can't do this. Please stay the hell out of my life!" That's all she hears before she angrily hangs up the phone.
"I'm so sorry you had to go through that," Jessica sympathizes, her face crinkled in the deepest of empathy. "I'm just so, so sorry, Gwen, but I can't do anything to help you."
Gwen's expression turns from expectant to horrified and then from horrified to murderous in thirty seconds flat. "Of course you can't," her expression is feigned, and inside her brain she is constructing a plan, a plan to rid her self of the guilt she had been experiencing for the longest of longest times.
Shana enters the room and Jenna continues to curl her hair. "So, Shana." Jenna continues the conversation, noticing Shana's shakiness. "What happened?"
Mona decides to take out her phone and call someone close to her. "Um, hey. Is there any chance I can stay with you? I... I just don't feel safe."
Gwen steps down off Ali's porch and her expression turns from joyous to expectantly horrified. "I'm going to avenge you, Dan, whether you like it or not," she mutters, then walks down the street for parts unknown.
"I'm really sorry," the voice came from the other end of Mona's phone. "I can't take anyone in. I already have tenants."
"Well, make some damn room," insists Mona. "After all, I am your niece, and surely you don't want me to tell mother."
"Well, fine," the voice was shaky but persistent on the other end of the phone. "I'll find some room, but you have to give me a couple days."
"Alright, fine," Mona hangs up, stops the car, and angrily pushes her phone in her pocket.
Meanwhile, Gwen, on the other side of the street, takes out her phone and dials a number. "Hey, I haven't heard from you in a while. Mind if I ransack someone's house?"
