The next morning, the sun rises behind Sunrise Mountain. The sun shines in the Goodman villa, shining through Carolyn and Oscar’s room window, onto their bed. Carolyn wakes up, shielding herself from the sun shining on her. Her eyes look heavy and drowsy. Carolyn looks around the room, she looks at Oscar, staring at her without his glasses while sitting next to her on the bed. She jumped and screamed.
“WOAH! OSCAR!”

“Welcome home, sweetheart!” Oscar said, kissing her head.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQuy1gU0q7
“Thank you, Oscar.” She sits up from the bed; she groans in pain as she holds her head. “How did I get back here?”
“I sense you had a panic attack, and I came to get you out of the hospital. What happened?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2gX78JR85
Carolyn stayed silent. She has a flashback of Michele appearing in her hospital room.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQaWm7GA1W
“Come back to the mafia…”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsGG8TzLzB
Carolyn’s eyes widened. A spirit that looks like Michele appears behind Oscar. She puts his hands on his shoulders seductively, she puts her hands on his chest, going toward his crotch. The spirit looks at Carolyn. Time pauses, Michele smirks.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tn47irYTe
“Come back, Carolyn. Be a good girl…”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4qqvtbIDk
“Never.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTbLr4bX56
“Oh really? Why not? You know what would happen if you quit my mafia, right?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ES3QDP9Pb
“I’m sure that you know already because you DID IT already,” Carolyn said bluntly.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFvrcfaaSH
“And I see you still alive. I thought the spear killed you.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBAD6M1DaO
“And it did?” Carolyn said, “I’m just grateful that I’m alive to take you down.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgEWW2VIGM
“You? Going to take me down?!” The spirit scoffs, “What are you going to do? Kill me? Take down my mafia? You are such a weak kike even to take me and my mafia down. EVEN WITH THE HEROES AND YOUR ‘Quitting Buddies’ CAN’T TAKE ME DOWN.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM01n7wImep
“This is just a start. Trial and error, but that doesn’t mean we can try again.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkJQMIa2oY
“You can’t do shit, Carolyn. You can’t do anything, you filthy kike. Kikes like you were nothing but trouble.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbTfjTBgiB
Carolyn gets angry, clenching her fist. Sparks of red lightning surround her fist.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzbk7KWMQg
“Quit…calling me... That…”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOWu7R4RTU
“What are you going to do? Kill me?” the spirit said, laying her head on Oscar’s shoulder. Carolyn’s hair turns white as she throws a punch towards the spirit. The spirit leaves, leaving Carolyn accidentally punching Oscar in the face. Launching him towards the wall, landing on the floor. His nose started to bleed as he lay there, unresponsive. Carolyn’s eyes widened as her hair turned back to blonde.

“No..no.. nooo.. OSCAR!” Carolyn yelled. No response. Carolyn quickly gets up from the bed, running up to him. She gently shakes Oscar to wake up. Carolyn starts to tear up.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1mFW0Da7W
“Damnit,” Carolyn said, choking in her tears. “I killed him…”
Carolyn tucks her head onto Oscar’s stomach, crying. Oscar wakes up, wiping the blood dripping off his nose. He sees Carolyn crying on his stomach. He slowly sits up and grabs Carolyn, slowly hugging her.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFZ7KALt5P
“I’m a monster…”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQhdPz3y0b
Oscar wipes Carolyn’s tears from her eyes. “No, you are not… Tell me what happened. You sort of freaked out.” He kisses her head.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZVRtxyJWv
“It’s Michele. I keep seeing her. This is the second time she appeared trying to get me back in the mafia. She knows I have no one to help me kill her and dismantle the mafia.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbccZNkEM2
“Well, you have me, Justine, and their friends. The ones that quit her mafia, and the heroes.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzPxvkJkgr
“Here’s my problem… The ones that quit her mafia, Maddie and Enzo are gone; Joe and Cassie, I don’t know. Most of the heroes are gone; just the two cats are alive, and Justine and their friends? I don’t think I want them to get in the fight. Not just yet. I don’t want Justine to get hurt again.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC8A0Llpry
“What about you starting your own mafia? A good one. A temporary mafia to destroy Michele’s mafia. Michele can’t fight herself without having someone on her side.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Lxrtkd8t
“I don’t know about that…” Carolyn said, turning her head, side-eyeing Oscar. “She’s more capable of fighting me.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXEDbk8OG5
“That’s because you guys are the same in power scale. She got stronger in the last fight, but that’s when she catches you off guard. That’s her specialty. Why don’t you think she killed the heroes and almost all the mafia members that quit?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjnvBsF6W7
Carolyn thinks for a moment—her memories flash back to when she and Michele fought in the past before passing away. The fights between Carolyn and Michele became bloody when Carolyn landed in front of Michele, trying to get up. Michele kicks her. Carolyn shakes it off, coming back from her flashback.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVI4QCar6S
“She does that when you try to focus on doing anything in a fight.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJDBkQDJpo
“I suggest starting your own mafia of fighters. That way, you’re using a method on how she fights. Using these can help you defeat her and continue to dismantle her mafia.” Oscar said.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7qQGBpqma
“You think making a mafia of fighters can help me dismantle Michele’s mafia?” Carolyn asks.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs30PClNdWd
“I think it will. Try it! You might like the outcome of it.”
Carolyn smirks and nods in agreement.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR9lQwxL4Q
“Okay. I can try this idea out.” Carolyn said, she turns around and smiles. “Thanks for the suggestion, Oscar.”
She kisses Oscar on his cheek. He blushes and smiles.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqg4VlInir
“You’re welcome, sweetheart.”
Carolyn gets up from the floor. She grabs Oscar and helps him get up from the floor.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGI3VUWtF5
“And I have someone in mind to be the first fighter,” Carolyn said, leaving the bedroom to her and Oscar’s bathroom.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7w6tep2jT
“Who would that be?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdHonb5yaL
“Janis Laverty. The Red Lucky Dragon.” Carolyn said, popping her head out the bathroom door.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QLnDPXYgv
“Janis?!” Oscar exclaimed. “Janis Laverty, as in my successor? As in the one that sacrificed herself in the Las Vegas Dragon Genocide in 2000?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vCHHUwM2J
“Yes, her.” Carolyn slowly closes the door, heads into her closet, gets her clothes, putting it on.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnpfNv27Th
“I thought she died?!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzZYKLdl3f
“People said she died because they haven’t seen her since that day. She was revived around 2004 and went into hiding. I say she’s still alive. She doesn’t want to reveal it.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbIdgEawTQ
“You know Janis. She’s really secretive. For a lucky dragon, that is.” Oscar said, “You can’t find her. It’s impossible.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLSrxDNpKR
Carolyn opens the door and puts her black vest on. She walks to the sink, grabbing her makeup bag.
“It’s not as if she is the only other lucky red dragon in Las Vegas known in the valley.”
She grabs her lipstick and starts putting it on. Oscar opens his mouth. He pauses and closes his mouth.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC73rRLYNIf
“That’s fair. But IF you do see her, tell her that I said ‘hi’ and ‘how you do.“ Oscar said, smiling softly.
Carolyn walks out of the bathroom, putting on her black and gold earrings.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dVQK0NDy4
“That’s IF I find her.” Carolyn said, kissing Oscar's cheek before leaving her room and heading to the living room. Oscar follows her as she heads to the front door. Carolyn opens the door, and walks out to the front gate opening it. Oscar steps outside on the porch.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs7q4CxFof
“Please be careful out there, sweetheart.” Oscar said, kissing Carolyn.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09tgNg2f4q
“I will.” Carolyn said, smiling softly. She left the yard and started to fly away towards Downtown. Oscar watches Carolyn flying away, smiling.
