Mr. LaRusso first drove me to my house. Sam decided to come into my house with me. I left her downstairs to look around while I got changed. I didn't know why I needed a bathing suit, but Danial told me to put on on, so here I am. I dug through my closet until I found a high waited bikini set. It was decorated with flowers and had a strappy back. I changed into them and slid a pair of light blue jean shorts and an oversized white tee. 

When I came downstairs, I found Sam looking at an old family photo of my mom, dad and I

When I came downstairs, I found Sam looking at an old family photo of my mom, dad and I. "Is this your dad?" Sam asked, noticing I had come downstairs. 

"Uh yeah." I responded grabbing a my flip flops from a closet in the laundry room. 

"I've never met him." She remarked..

"I think he would've approved of you." I say walking back to the living room.

"When you say would've, do you mean.." She said, not bothering to finish her sentence. 

"Yeah." I said softly. 

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know." She tried to recover and make me feel better. 

"Don't worry about it." I shrug it off, not really wanting to ruin the mood. "Just don't mention it to Robby or your dad. I don't want them to get sympathetic with me." I told her.

"Yeah, of course." She responded automatically.

"Thanks, lets go, we've kept them long enough." I said ushering her out of my house.

I sat in the back of the banana boat with Robby, looking out at the ocean

I sat in the back of the banana boat with Robby, looking out at the ocean. My hair was blowing behind me, creating a fiery tunnel of hair. We were listening t o some old songs, enjoying the summer weather. "I still don't understand how going to the beach is going to help us get students." Robby stated from beside me.

"We're going to the beach? I would've brought my board." I said in a whiney, playful voice. 

Ignoring my remark, Danial answered Robby. "It's not the students I'm after, it's the parents." Mr. LaRusso's eyes did not leave the road once. 

"so your counting on kids listening to their parents?" Sam said sarcastically, obviously thinking that her dad's plan was a fail.

"No, I'm planning on counting on having parents doing whatever it takes to protect their kids. Look I've tried everything else to promote Miyagi-Do, if this doesn't work, nothing will." I looked over at Robby to see him as though he though Danial's plan might actually work. I scoffed, causing him to look towards me. I quickly turned away and stared out at the ocean again, my face now red as a tomato.

We pulled up to a curb beside a building. "See what's I tell ya." Danial said to Amanda who was waiting for us on the sidewalk. 

"Cool wheel daddy-io." Amanda commented to her husband, I smiled at their cute interaction. I started to tune out when the conversation got dirty. I quickly shuttered and look us at the building. "This isn't the beach!" I exclaimed to Robby and Sam as they came to a stop beside me. 

"Technically, it leads onto the beach." Sam explained.

"Still not the beach." I argued, making a quizzical face. Sam laughed then turned her attention to Robby. 

"You aright?" She asked him. 

"Yeah, just kind of use to work here." He said, gazing at the building with a weird and guilty look on his face. 

"Really, when?" Sam asked in disbelief.

"Couple days last summer, wasn't a great fit." He started to walk again, we both followed.
