It was a beautiful day in Boston, Massachusetts and the MacManus brothers, Connor and Murphy, were hanging out at McGinty's bar with a few of their friends, having a roaring good time. Then their closest friend, Rocco, came bursting in with excitement and wrapped his arms around the MacManus brothers.
"You won't believe who's coming for a visit!" Rocco shouted with excitement.
"What are you so worked up about?" Connor questioned.
"My friend Lily is coming for a visit"
"Who's Lily? An ex?" Murphy asked.
"No, she's been my friend since we were little and she the coolest bitch you'll meet in your entire life; and I hear she's bringing a friend with her, she says she cute and from Florida"
"Florida?" Connor asked.
"Yeah, I bet she's one of those slutty club girls that parties and binges all day and night!"
"So when are they coming?"
"We talked this morning and said that they should be here soon and I told them to meet us here; I got to warn ya, Lily's a firecracker, so watch your ass around her"
They continued to have their fun with Rocco telling stories of his and Lily's childhood together and it was pretty crazy. They would get into fights with others and with each other, they'd cause trouble and got sent to juvi for about a year, but he mostly talked about how much fun they had with each other. They stayed in contact with each other over the years and visit each other occasionally.
But then their conversation was interrupted when the doors busted open and everyone in the bar turned to see who was coming in. There were two of them and they were very beautiful women.
One was a little taller than the other and she had medium red shag hair and amber eyes; she wore a white tank top with a black cross on it with a crop black leather jacket, blue men's jeans and short black boots and she was wearing a pair of shades on top of her head.
The other girl was very short, looked to be about only five feet tall, had waist length bright blonde wavy hair that was tied into pigtails and violet eyes; she wore a knee length shoulder sleeve white dress with white ballet flats.
"David fucking Rocco!" the red head shouted with a southern accent.
"Lily fucking Edwards!" Rocco shouted back.
They both rushed to each other and gave each other a big hug. The blonde women timidly made her way in, looking very shy and embarrassed when some men made catcalls at her, she looked way out of place.
"This is Dinah Parks, the girl I was talking about" Lily introduced, bringing Dinah to her side, knowing she was feeling out of place at this rough and tough bar.
"Oh" Rocco said a little disappointed.
"What?" Lily questioned a little irritated.
"When you said your friend was from Florida, I thought she was a slutty bitch"
Lily suddenly backhand Rocco in the face, "I fucking dare you to say that again!"
"Why'd you do that, I thought you said he was your friend?" Dinah questioned, her voice soft and mild.
"He is" Lily said casually.
"Then did you really have to hit him?"
"Oh Dinah, so sheltered, so stupid"
Lily laughed when Dinah lightly smacked her shoulder.
"So who're your friends?" Lily asked, walking up to the MacManus brothers.
"This is Connor and Murphy MacManus" Rocco introduced.
"Rocco told us a lot about you" Connor said as he shook Lily's hand.
Lily looked over and gave Rocco a hard glare.
"It was only the good times we had!" Rocco told, holding his hands up in defense.
"Well" Lily said as her face softened and looked back at Connor, "It's nice to meet you, Rocco also told me about you two; this is my friend Dinah"
"It's nice to meet you" Dinah said with a sweet smile and shook both of the MacManus's brothers hands.
When she shook Murphy's hand, he gave her a heart stopping smile and she blushed and laughed a little. Murphy couldn't help it, she looked liked an angel to him, he thought she was an angel when he first saw her with the way she looked and her innocent aura she gave off.
"It's nice to meet ya lass" Murphy said.
"That a cool accent you got there" Dinah complemented, "What is that, Irish?"
"Yeah, born and raise" Connor said.
"Yeah, but my accent's way better" Lily interjected, "Born and raise Nebraska style"
"Since when did I become invisible?" Rocco questioned.
"Because we wanted to" Lily said and everyone laughed, "Let's get our drink on!"
When the girls stood closer to the bar, Murphy pulled up a bar stool for Dinah and she smiled at him in gratitude and sat down.
"I'll take a beer!" Lily called out.
"I'm not a big drinker, I'll take a shot of vodka" Dinah ordered.
Doc, the owner of the bar, brought them the beer and vodka and when Dinah grabbed the vodka shot, she tossed it back like a pro, everyone was pretty impressed since she looked like she wouldn't belong in a bar.
"You go girl" Lily teased and Dinah slightly pushed her.
"Where'd you learn to take a shot?" Connor asked.
"I grew up with parents who wanted me to drink right" Dinah told, laughing lightly.
"Now this was the party girl I was praying for" Rocco said, then was elbowed hard by Lily.
"So what else are you guys gonna do today?" Lily asked.
"We were thinking of just hanging here and getting hammered" Rocco answered.
"What are you two doing today?" Connor asked.
"I was hoping that we could tour around the city, this is my first time coming to a big city" Dinah told.
"But you're from Florida" Murphy said.
"That doesn't mean I've lived in a city, I lived in a town, I don't even like going into cities that much 'cause I don't like big crowds"
"So why'd you tag along with Lily?" Rocco asked.
"I don't know, adventure maybe"
"Yes, the little princess needs to let her warrior spirit out" Lily said.
"Sounds like fun" Connor said.
"We'll tag along with you" Murphy said.
"That's ok guys, you don't have to come along, and we'll probably be skirt shopping or something" Dinah said.
"Hell to the no with that shitty idea" Lily objected.
"We know this city like the back of our hand" Murphy said.
"So we'll be your tour guide" Connor offered.
"That's not shitty" Lily said with a grin on her face.
"I'm right here. What about me?" Rocco called out.
Lily turned to him and gave him a confused look, "Oh Rocco, when did you get here?"
Rocco launched at her, put her in a headlock and started to roughly rub his fist into Lily's hair.
"Oww, Rocco, you fuck, knock it off!" Lily shouted as she struggled to get out of his grip.
"All right, all right, knock it off Rocco, let the lass go" Connor said and broke the two apart.
"I could have handled it on my own!" Lily shouted angrily.
"I know, but you said you wanted to see the city so we should go now" Connor defended.
Lily opened her mouth to say something, but closed her mouth, she wanted to argue, but she knew he was right on some level, so she let it go.
"Whoa, you actually back down" Rocco taunted.
"Watch your ass" Lily said as she threateningly pointed at him and gave him a glare.
"All right, let's go" Dinah said meekly as she grabbed Lily's hand and started to pull her towards the door with the guys following them behind.
They all decided to walk rather than take a car since today was warm and the sky was clear and bright. They walked through the park and Dinah was taking pictures of almost everything with her camera: flowers, grass, people playing with their dogs and a few squirrels that scurried by.
The brothers even took the girls to the church they go to every Sunday and Dinah took pictures of the statues and they even went inside to take a picture with the priest. After that, they were just walking through the streets when Lily's suddenly squealed in excitement.
"Pawn shop!" Lily shouted with excitement and ran towards the small pawn shop across the street.
Dinah laughed and raced after her; the guys looked at each other, then just shrugged and followed the girls into the pawn shop. When they walked in, they saw that Lily was holding a pair of nunchakus and swirling them around like an expert.
"Where the hell did you learn to do that?" Rocco asked, he's never seen Lily fight skillfully, only using her brute strength.
"I once saved this old guy from a bunch of thugs and it turns out he runs a dojo in town and he taught me a few moves. I always loved watching ninja movies, they make awesome movie!" Lily told as she had this childish excitement that made Connor chuckle to himself.
"Calm down Jackie Chan" Dinah advised with a laugh.
Lily turned to give her a blank look, but her eyes held angry. Lily started to chase Dinah around for a while before she hid behind Connor. Lily tried to reach around to grab Dinah, but Connor grabbed and held her to him while Dinah made a run for it and hid behind Murphy.
"Calm down lass" Connor advised.
Lily stopped struggling and looked at Connor, their faces were pretty close and they were looking right into each other's eyes.
"I'll count to three and if I'm not release, I will unleash hell on your ass" Lily warned.
Connor let her go and held his hands up, but he had this smile on his face, like satisfaction or smugness.
"I'll count to three and if you don't wipe that fucking smirk on your face, I will unleash hell on your ass" Lily warned, pointing threateningly at him with a hard glare.
"Rocco's right, you are a firecracker" Connor said with the smirk still on his face.
"Stop talking shit about me to strangers!"
"What? I was telling them that's how cool you are" Rocco defended.
Lily was about to say something, but stopped, she looked angry, but she had a blush covering her face.
"I'm gonna go pay for this" Lily said, motioning the nunchakus and walked towards the counter.
"What? No ninja stars?" Rocco taunted.
"I already got them and if you don't shut your damn trap, I'm using you for target practice for them!"
After Lily paid for the nunchakus and placed them in Dinah's giant bag.
"For once, I'm glad that you have this monster purse" Lily teased and the boys laughed a little.
"I like this bag" Dinah defended as she hugged her bag.
"You'd fit perfectly in that bag, like one of those purse dogs" Lily laughed as Dinah made a cute pouting face, "Oh come on, take that as a complement, you small and cute, lots of guys go for that"
"Unlike you lanky ass" Rocco taunted and Lily punched him in the stomach.
"Come Dinah, let's go" Lily said and hooked her arm with Dinah's and lead her down the street, leaving Rocco groaning on the ground.
"I really like this girl" Connor said as he kneeled down next to Rocco with a smirk on his face.
"You shouldn't do that!" Rocco warned, wheezing his words out, "You should never flirt with that monster, she will shred your ass to bits; I learned that the hard way"
"You made a move on her?" Murphy asked, kneeling down from the other side.
"Yeah, once, she was wearing this tight ass outfit and I was drunk, she knocked one of my teeth out from the back"
Connor and Murphy looked at each other before laughed at their friend; they continued to laugh as they helped Rocco up and rushed to catch up with the girls. When they caught up with them, they were on the bridge and Dinah was leaning on the ledge, taking pictures of the boats sailing by. Lily was leaning against the giant pillar, her back to the Dinah.
"You should really see that view from here" Dinah called out to Lily.
"I'm fine over here" Lily said, but her voice sounded a little jittery.
"What's wrong? You look a little green" Murphy asked.
"It's nothing!" Lily snapped with a firm voice.
"She's afraid of heights, has been since we were little" Rocco told, leaning back on the stone railing, smirking as Lily glared at him, "Looks like you can't do anything now"
"For now, but the second you step away from there, your ass is mine!" Lily hissed.
Rocco hoped up and sat on the stone railing and pretended like he was about to fall over, "Oh, oh! I'm gonna fall!"
"Rocco, knock that shit off, that ain't funny!" Lily shouted with a worried tone.
"Knock it off Rocco, you're scaring the little lass" Connor said and pulled Rocco off the railing, then he held his hand out for Lily's, "Come on lass, you won't fall"
"My ass"
"You have four friends that'll catch you if you fall"
"Don't say it like that; it sounds like I will fall and I'll be endangering your lives as well"
"Just come on"
Connor gently grabbed Lily's arm and pulled her towards the railing. Lily tried to pulled back, but Connor was stronger; when he brought her close, she had her eyes tightly closed, shaking, trembling.
"Lily, don't worry; just don't look down" Dinah soothed, rubbing Lily's arm to comfort her.
"Even if I don't look down, I still know that we're high up" Lily said, keeping her eyes closed.
"Just open you fucking eyes you fucking pussy!" Rocco said, lighting a cigarette with Murphy.
Connor held his grip on Lily's arm, moved his other arm to wrap around her shoulders and gave her a light shake, comforting her. Lily took a deep breath in and let it out shakily, then she opened one of her eyes slightly before opening both of them to look out over the river.
"Oh cool" Lily sighed, then she suddenly hung over the railing and threw up.
Everyone groaned in disgust, except for Dinah, who was rubbing her back. Lily straightened up and wiped her mouth; spitting out what vomit was left in her mouth.
"Ok, I had enough" Lily said and stepped away from the railing and out of Connors grip.
"I think we've all had enough" Rocco said, earning another glare from her.
"Maybe we should head back to the apartment so you can rest" Dinah suggested, putting her camera away.
"You got an apartment?" Rocco asked, "I thought you were coming for just a visit"
"Well I though a little change would be good and when I told Dinah about it, she said she'd like to tag along" Lily told.
"What about your jobs?" Murphy asked.
"I'm an artist and I sell my work online" Dinah told.
"I'm a writer" Lily told.
"What about your family?" Connor asked.
"I have an older brother and a sister, but they're too busy with work and they have their own families, I can just call them" Lily told.
"I have a younger brother and he also has a job and family" Dinah told, "But I can give him a call as well"
"What about your belongings?" Rocco asked.
"Please Rocco, you know I don't care about materials," Lily said, "I just packed my clothes and computer and tossed them in the trunk"
"I also packed some clothes and my art supplies, but my dad arranged to deliver my furniture from my old apartment to my new one here" Dinah told.
"So you lasses are staying?" Murphy asked with a smile on his face.
"Permanently" Lily said with a smirk, "So deal with it Rocco"
Rocco just smiled and shook his head; Lily was his childhood friend and they were close like he was close to Connor and Murphy.
"You know I love having you around, you start the party" Rocco said, hugging Lily and ruffling her hair.
"All right, knock it off" Lily laughed and pushed Rocco off, fixing her hair, "I wanna go home because I'm starting to feel dizzy now"
"Do you want us to drive you home?" Connor offered.
"No, I can hail a cab"
Lily then reached over to search through Dinah's bag and pulled out a purple glitter pen, then she grabbed Connor hand, pulled his jacket sleeve up and started to write on his arm.
"This is our address, apartment number, home number and mine and Dinah's cell numbers, call before you come over" Lily said.
"Purple looks good on you Conner" Murphy teased.
Connor punched Murphy in the shoulder, but he couldn't do anything back since Lily was still writing on Connor's arms and he smirked at him with smugness.
"Ok" Lily said as she finished writing the contact on Connor's arm and placed the pen back in Dinah's bag, "How about we hang again tomorrow?"
"Sounds good" Murphy said.
"We'll meet you at McGinty's" Connor said.
The girls agreed and then they grabbed a cab home while the guys headed back to the bar.
Ok, first chapter done; I'm only writing this chapter and the next one before I start with the movie.
