Me and Jack were walking towards the dojo, past the giant stage that Rudy just ran off of. "Hey. Where have you two been? My demo started 20 minutes ago," Rudy exclaimed quietly as he approached us.

"I'm sorry, Rudy, I forgot to set my alarm clock, then I couldn't find my gee, and by the time I found it, I missed the bus," Jack excused.

"I just didn't wanna be here," I shrugged.

"You know what? It doesn't matter anyway. These people are, obviously, not into karate," Rudy sighed as music began playing. The Black Dragons, I guess, decided to steal the demo show, earning a loud applause from the crowd. "Hey! Hey hey! What're you doing here, Ty?" Rudy demanded. "This is my demo!"

"Giving the crowd their first taste of the Black Dragons. Savor the flavor. Mmm spicy," Ty sang.

"No no no! Do not savor his flavor! Tastes bad! Like an old jellybean you found stuck to a toilet!" Rudy retorted. "I'm guessing. Jack! Cami! Show 'em whatcha got!" Me and Jack hopped onstage, performing a routine we've been training on together. We earned a round of applause making me and Jack high five. "Ooh! In your face Ty!"

"Really? Oh Ryan!" Ty called as one of his karate students hopped onstage performing a more complex routine earning a round of applause from the crowd.

"Wow!" Jack gaped. "I mean, wow," he scoffed.

"If I sign up for a year, do I get a new gee?" I heard Milton ask.

"That's right. Sign up for greatness red," Ty patted Milton's bicep.

"No no no. Get your hands off him. This random stranger's mine," Rudy fought.

"Oh no, he's coming with me," Ty pulled on Milton.

"No, he's coming with me," Rudy pulled Milton back.

"He's coming with me!" Ty pulled Milton back again.

"No! He's mine!" Rudy pulled again.

"He's coming-" Ty was cut off by Milton's shirt ripping. "You can have him."

"No, you called him, you can have him," Rudy pushed Milton away.

"Not interested," Ty pushed Milton back.

"I don't want him anymore!" Rudy pushed him back. And so on and so forth.

Rudy was pacing in front of us, rambling about how terrible today's demo was. "Come on, Rudy. It wasn't a total failure," Jack tried. "Look, one person handed in a membership form!" Jack gestured to the paper I was holding.

"Uh Jack. It hasn't even been filled out yet. It's just a drawing of Rudy with a butt for a face," I cracked up making Jack and Milton laugh too.

"Gimme that," Rudy snatched the paper away, laughing a little himself before giving us a stone cold glare. "Guys, this membership drive was my chance to get some more students so I can make something of this dojo. But you guys don't take me or this place seriously!"
