Zero-Leaf Clover

Once the two gangs arrived at what appeared to be an apartment complex, Amy told the others, "That's where Michael lives. I'll sneak in and surprise him, then you come in and crash the party, 'kay?"

"Well, you better be careful, you don't want Shamrocks taking notice of your activity." Berlin replied.

"Okay, sure. Keep in touch!" Amy said before she split up from the Moons and Gamers, and made her way to one of the windows that appeared to be open and snuck inside.

As the red-haired Moon made her way into a bedroom from the window, she then opened the door slowly and went downstairs. Amy then heard the sound of people laughing and talking and went towards the kitchen's sliding doors leading to the backyard, and immediately opened them, entering the backyard in order to find Michael.

Meanwhile, the brown-haired Shamrocks leader was smoking a cigarette and lounging by the pool, talking to a beautiful woman with long brown hair. "So, as I was saying, you wanna be a bridesmaid at my wedding?" Michael asked.

"Hmm...I don't know about that. I don't even know her." the woman replied.

Suddenly, Michael took notice of Amy in the crowd and approached her. "Hey! What are you doin' here?! You said you wouldn't be at the party!" he told her.

"Of course! I just wanted to drop by and tell you that the wedding is off! I'm not gonna marry you and that's final!" Amy replied.

"Oh no you don't! You ain't gonna sell the fuckin' ring! I'm telling you! Because I spent most of my money on the damn thing and it means much to you as it means to me!" Michael said, almost to the point of being pissed off.

The brown-haired man was a hot-headed, arrogant Irish-American who was the leader of the Five Points Shamrocks, and according to most people, a gold-digger when it came to romance. He was prone to getting angry at the drop of a hat, especially if things weren't going so well, and he knew this was the perfect time to do so.

The only things that could ease him in order to prevent him from making a big fuss over anything was a bottle of scotch and a pack of cigarettes. Unfortunately, it wasn't doing him any good at the moment.

Instead of lashing back at him, Amy immediately took the ring off her finger and threw it into his face. "MOONS! GAMERS!" she called out, and the rest of the Crescent Moons and the Gamers immediately made their way into the backyard.

Berlin took notice of the ring and picked it up, putting it into her shorts, before she and the others ganged up on Michael and the Shamrocks. However, the brown-haired leader immediately punched Pacman in the face, knocking him onto the ground before he retreated to the roof where he taunted the Crescent Moons and Gamers.

Berlin dealt with one Shamrock with dark hair, but was given a few punches to the torso before allowing Hoagie to assist. The bleached blond Crescent Moon then knee'd the Shamrock in the groin and punched at him a few times before uppercutting him and sending him into the pool.

Berlin and Amy, on the other hand, double-teamed another Shamrock, and the red-haired Moon kicked him upside the head before allowing the brown-haired woman to give him a knock-out punch. The Shamrocks leader then threw his bottle of scotch towards Hoagie, hitting him in the head with it, but the red-haired Moon urged the others to follow her lead and climb up.

Michael was taken by surprise as they got up to the roof, allowing Amy to take advantage of him by kicking and punching him in the chest area. He suddenly grabbed her and attempted to throw her off the roof, but she kicked him in the gut, and instead, threw him off the roof, causing him to hit the ground.

"AH, FUCK! MY NECK!! SHIT!" he yelled as he writhed in pain. Apparently, he had broken his neck thanks to Amy's efforts.

"Thanks for the memories, Mikey!" The red-haired Moon called out as she stared down at him from the roof, before she and the rest of the Moons, as well as the Gamers left the apartment complex.

On the subway, the Moons and Gamers were celebrating their victory against the Shamrocks when Berlin said, "Say, Amy. I think it's about time you sell that ring. Maybe Slattery and Mama Delores might consider doing that since that fag's out of the picture."

"Sure, I guess. Why the hell not? Thanks for the help, by the way, Pacman." Amy said, before looking at Pacman and the Gamers with a smile.

"No problem. We always keep our word." Pacman replied with a small grin.

"Hey, what about that date at Coney that Lisa promised we'd go on? You know, with those Warriors we hooked up with. Man, I can't wait to see Cochise again!" Angela asked.

"Oh, yeah. We don't wanna let her down." Amy replied.

After bidding the Gamers farewell, the Moons returned to Slattery's estate, where Amy and Berlin immediately approached him and Delores. "Now that I'm done with Michael, I was thinking you should sell it, then you can give the cash to my parents. They'll be really grateful." the red-haired Moon said.

The leader pondered briefly before replying with a nod and a grin, "Why of course. After all, your parents will be happy that you gave that scotch-drinking punk a piece of your mind."

Berlin then handed the ring to Slattery as Amy smiled brightly. "Thanks! I'm very glad that you'd help me out!"

"You know...now that Brian and Michael are out of our lives, we should start mingling with those guys again. Besides you were so blushing around Cowboy." Angela told Amy.

"Excuse me...?' the red-haired Moon asked, almost to the point of being flustered.

However, Angela smirked before she approached Lisa and told her, "Come on, let's get on over to Coney and have a little fun while we're at it." she said.

Lisa, on the other hand, beamed as she hugged Angela and Amy. "Really? Wow! I knew you'd remember!" she exclaimed with a broad smile. She then looked over at Berlin and asked, "You wanna join us, too?"

"Well, to be honest, Hoagie and I are joining Jake and his girlfriend at his apartment to watch some porno with them; he also said that the movie's gonna be Debbie Does Dallas. Carabello even told me he was coming, too." the brunette Moon replied.

"Sorry, but Slattery and Mama Delores said that they were going out for a walk on the beach, so I need to keep an eye on the family dog. Sorry, Berlin, you're on your own." Hoagie said.

"Whatever." Berlin replied with a small grimace.

The family dog, Cupcake, was a dalmation who was highly loyal and very protective. She actually served as the local fire department's mascot, and was also quite friendly around others, especially Lisa and her parents.

Just as the trio of girls were about to leave, however, Berlin came up to the red-haired Moon and asked, "You wouldn't happen to be doing anything important when you get there, right?"

"Well, yes. Maybe go out on a date to the amusement park...or..." Amy replied before her cheeks reddened as she blurted out, "...or maybe a motel, I guess."

This caused Berlin to raise an eyebrow before she told them, "Well, I'll see you soon. Take care!" and began making her way to Jake's apartment.

"Come on, guys! Don't want to keep Rembrandt and the others waiting!" Lisa said as the three girls began their trek to Coney.
