──EPISODE ONE

           "SO YOU MIGHT BE wondering what a team does after they win the championship..." Aisha held her phone up to show her friends, streaming live to her instagram followers, "The answer... Victory nachos!"

Élodie grinned, waving up at the phone as she leaned into her boyfriend's side.

"It was supposed to be a round of drinks, but the waitress was not feeling Hawk's fake ID," Aisha laughed, and Élodie watched Eli's expression change, "Hey, don't talk about that. My parents follow you!"

"Sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Moskowitz. Anyways, until next time... No mercy, bitches!" she ended the live, putting down her phone as chatter at the table continued.

"I gotta say, it's nice to be at a victory party," Demetri grinned, and Élodie high-fived him.

"Yeah, except you had nothing to do with the victory..." Hawk grunted, and Élodie nudged him, "Uh, neither did I!"

"As much as I hate to say it you kinda did," her boyfriend sighed, knowing Miguel had seen her in the crowd and inevitably been motivated more, "Besides, you're hot. You're allowed to be here."

She just laughed.

"Well, then I consider it a belated party for the coding competition we won at computer camp," Demetri shrugged, "Remember?"

"Cool it with the nerd shit, huh?" Hawk snapped, and Élodie watched Demetri's face fall, "Ignore big bad Hawk over here, I'm proud of you 'Metri."

Hawk only frowned, looking down into his lap for a moment.

"Hey, where's Miguel? His wings are getting cold."

Élodie spotted Miguel sulking on a table far away. They'd still only partly made up, and things were ever so slightly awkward. Even worse, Sam had just blocked him, so he couldn't even make up with her either.

Hawk kissed her cheek, "We'll be back now, okay babe?", before standing up and gesturing for Aisha to come with him to speak to the sullen-looking champion.

Hawk and Miguel had made up quickly, she'd learned. Miguel knew he'd overstepped and, though he admitted he did have some residual feelings for his best friend's girlfriend, he promised he'd try to keep them at bay and move on. Besides, he did really like Sam too... He was confused.

Élodie was surprised Hawk had forgiven him, but she didn't want a fight over it. Not after all the stress of the previous few weeks. 'Cobra Kai for life', apparently.

Miguel had also apologised fully to Élodie, promising her he'd back off because he valued her friendship more than his pride. She was content with that, but still felt a little awkward, particularly hanging out with both boys so often among their friends.

She stood up, deciding to join the conversation as she wanted things to be normal, "You're the champ now, you can get any chick in the Valley you want," she heard her boyfriend as he grinned, "You're like Drake. Enjoy it."

"Drake? Why would he want to be Drake?" she snorted, "Yeah I'm not sure I wanna be Drake." Miguel sighed.

"Don't worry Miggy, you're not. My boyfriend is full of shit," Élodie laughed, before suddenly falling silent and realising the awkward tension her words had caused.

She tried desperately to think of something to say to patch up her mistake, Eli's hand tightening around her waist to comfort her.

"I could try and talk to Sam for you?" Élodie offered shyly, "I'm going over to hers later to uh— well, to ask about training with her dad and to patch things up with her. I can try for your sake too?"
