Ivy stopped at home to change into something festive for their little Christmas party. She put on a nice pair of jeans and a tee shirt that looked like a reindeer sweater that her grandpa had given her last year. She brushed out her hair nice, put on some light make-up, and then pulled out her phone to send a mass text to Eagle Fang.

Christmas party tonight. Will have beer and a keg. Be ready in 30. I'll be around to pick you all up.

Promising beer was a good way to get them to come, even if there actually wasn't any, and by picking them up in her truck, they wouldn't be able to leave unless they wanted to trek a long walk home. Her plan was a little sinister, but this needed to be done. Sam was right, there was strength in numbers and boy did they need them.

All of Eagle Fang texted her back that they were coming almost immediately, so Ivy grabbed her things and headed out to her truck. She had a lot of people to pick up, and she didn't want to be late.

She picked up Bert first, even though he was the farthest away, because she wanted him to have the front seat. Then she went and grabbed Mitch and the rest of the eagles, forcing them to cram in the back. Mitch was so annoyed that he begged to ride in the bed, but Ivy refused to let him. You could get away with that back home in the country, but around here there were too many witnesses. When Mitch finally stopped complaining, she drove off to the LaRusso house.

Ivy led the group to the door, who grumbled about having to have a party with Sam, but Ivy quickly shushed them and told them to put up or take a walk. They quieted then, and Ivy knocked on the door politely. Sam answered a moment later.

"Hey guys." She smiled, "Thanks for coming. Everything is set up in the living room."

"Is Miguel still here?" Ivy asked as the eagles started to push past her to get in.

"Yeah, he helped me set up and is fully aware of the plan." Sam nodded in hushed tones.

"Does he know about Robby?" Ivy kept on.

"Nope, he has no idea." Sam let out a small laugh, "I'm going to keep my promise this time."

"Great." Ivy smiled with a thumbs up and then moved to go inside.

"Oh hell no!" Ivy heard Chris shout.

When she entered the living room, she saw that all the Miyagi-Dos and the eagles were standing and glaring at each other.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Mitch spat and looked around, "This isn't a keg party! I bought this hat for nothing?"

Mitch tossed his Santa hat to the floor as Dimitri looked skeptically between Sam, Ivy and Miguel.

"Wait...you parent trapped us?" he rose his eyebrow at Sam, "Why?"

"Look, I know we haven't always gotten along, but Cobra Kai is the bigger threat now...to all of us." Sam tried to explain as she looked to Miguel to help.

"I think we'd stand a better chance against them if we joined forces." Miguel moved to back her up, "Two Dojo's are stronger than one."

Ivy stood near Miguel with her arms crossed, ready to chime in when needed, but it was hard to get a word in over all the grumbling and complaining coming from both sides.

"Hey, I know we've all done shitty things to each other!" Miguel cut in a little loudly.

"Yeah, like break Dimitri's arm!" Chris growled.
