you're the best around - (daniel larusso x oc)

ch.29

--playing Killer Queen by Queen--

[Daniel Larusso showers in the locker rooms while his sensei stands in the hallway beside the room] "Hey Mr. Miyagi, I was thinking-" [Daniel says, voice loudly projecting over the sound of the showers]

"About what, Daniel-San?" [Mr. Miyagi asks as he leans his back against the hallway wall with his eyes straight ahead]

"That maybe we could have a strategy now, y'know?" [Daniel says, squinting so he wouldn't get soap or water in his eyes]

"For what?" [Mr. Miyagi asks with a small smile and a chuckle]

"My future, my whole tournament career."

"Miyagi already have one."

"Really?" [Daniel said as he walked over to the exit of the locker room, he leaned his arm on the doorframe besides his karate teacher as he still dropped of water] "What is it?"

"Early retirement." [Mr. Miyagi answers as he hands his student a towel and began to walk away. Daniel laughs to himself as dries his hair a bit then puts the towel over his waist. He steps out of the shower room for a moment to continue talking to Mr. Miyagi and stop him from walking away yet]

"Where's Scarlette?" [Daniel asks, stopping the old man from walking off completely. Mr. Miyagi turns around]

"Definitely not in boy shower room, that for sure." [The old man replies with a somewhat stern look. Daniel laughs and shrugs as he walks back into the shower room to get dressed]

"Makes sense." [Daniel said with a nod to himself. Meanwhile, Scarlette had already been showered and dressed. She waited for her sensei and Daniel in the hallway. She stands holding the All Valley Tournament trophy as she wore a long jacket over her patterned shirt. She wore a colorful headband under her voluminous reddish brown hair along with colorful jewelry. Tournament officials make their way over to her, shaking her hand]

"Congratulations, young lady! That was a very impressive win." [One of the three men said- he was the referee. He shook her hand with a firm and friendly grip first]

"Thanks-" [She replies, onto the announcer's hand shake]

"And you're our very first female All Valley champ, Sevem." [The announcer says. Scarlette smiles bigger- she was not aware of this before]

"Really? Thank you so much, yes thank you very much." [Scarlette thanks as she was more proud of herself and content after hearing this news]

"Hopefully we'll be seeing you next year, Scarlette." [The announcer says pointing at Scarlette as he stepped away. She nods]

"Yeah, t-that be great." [She smiles again as the two men walk off. She looks at the trophy once more] "1984 All Valley champions..we did it, Daniel." [She thought as she smiles to herself, nodding and clutched the trophy tightly] "Maybe Daniel is out of the shower by now, or Mr. Miyagi at least?" [She thought as she searched the perimeter for her boyfriend and sensei, yet they were nowhere in the lobby of the All Valley Sports Arena. She does spot the angry John Kreese, though. John Kreese gives an intimidating and angry glare at his past student, then walks past her to the parking lot. Scarlette shakes her head and squints] "He's so strange." [She thought as she watched the 'crazy' and angry veteran walk out of the All Valley Sports Arena] "Somethings off again.." [She thought once more about her past sensei,] "But what other damage could he do? The tournament's over." [She continued her thoughts once more then she saw the familiar short old man from okinawa] "Konichiwa, Sensei." [Scarlette bows and Mr. Miyagi bows back] "Where's the karate kid?"
