Love, Mona. #2

Dirty Little Secret

Shawn:  Twinkle, what's wrong?

Twinkle:  Sonia had a vision of Mrs. Lee about fifteen minutes ago... but she hasn't said anything since.

Shawn:  Sonia, are you alright?

Twinkle:  I just wonder what she saw! I haven't heard from Mrs. Lee in years!

Shawn:  And you've tried to contact her, right?

Twinkle:  You know I have, but she's been nowhere to be found. This is the first sign of her since Mona was a baby.

Sonia:  Mrs. Lee is in trouble.

Twinkle:  [Gasps]  Trouble?! What kind of trouble?!

Sonia:  That I cannot say... but when I give the word, you must go to her.

Twinkle:  Where?! Where is she now?! Why can't I go now?!

Sonia:  It's not the time... no, it's not the right time. Wait for my word and speak of this to no one.

At school...

Cheri:  Okay, you told me you'd think about it. [Crosses arms] I gave you enough time, this is really important Mona.

Mona:  You sound like you're talking about something serious... anyone walking by would have no idea you were talking about a homecoming dress.

Cheri:  A homecoming dress is serious!

Mona:  I guess. I'm not really looking forward to going.

Cheri:  That's because you plan on going without a date and that's no fun. Which is why I'm determined to find someone to go with.

Mona:  ... Well... have you thought about going with Derek?

Cheri:  Derek?! Like, our friend Derek?

Mona:  Yeah. I mean, why not?

Cheri:  That's not a bad idea. It would give me free rein to do whatever I wanted while there.

When is she going to get the hint?

Cheri:  Tyler tried to catch my eye today, what a jerk! [Facepalms]

Mona:  Well, I'm glad you came to your senses on that one.

Cheri:  Yeah, yeah. Either way, when can we go shopping?

Mona:  Tomorrow after school? I have choir, but it should be done early.

Cheri:  It's a date. But tomorrow, huh? Got plans tonight with Christian? [Giggles]

Mona: .. Well, later tonight. He passed me a note in the hallway today, he's so cute, isn't he?

Cheri:  Hmm. You guys are pretty hot and heavy, aren't you?

Mona:  I guess so.

Cheri:  [Giggles]  Okay, but please be careful. You don't know what Christian's history with girls is... maybe this is normal to him and he'll tire of you in a week.
