"Hey, Mr. LaRusso, can we talk?" It was her dad that Hawk turned to and Scout sighed softly.

"What?!" Daniel snapped at him.

"I just don't know really, where I fit it around here." Hawk tried to talk but it was absolutely stark clear, that Daniel was in no mood to listen.

"Well... what exactly did you expect? You have burned bridges with pretty much everyone who is here." Daniel snapped out at him and in response, Hawk stormed away and he sighed. "Wait, wait!" Daniel tried, but Hawk was beyond upset now.

Scout shook her head at her friend's retreating back and she looked at her dad and there was pain in her eyes, as she was just shaking her head. "Was that a second day, new slate, attitude, Dad? And you wonder why I stopped talking to you." Scout stated coldly as she shoved past her dad and she quickly jogged after Hawk.

"Hawk. Hold up!" She called out after him and he continued walkin' into the room. "Screw it." She mumbled under her breath. "Eli!" She called and he stopped, as he was just outside of the property and he leaned against the outer fence.

"What do you want?" He asked and she shook her head, and she walked over to him, before she stopped a few steps away.

"You going to hit me, if I try to give you a hug?" Scout asked quietly and he looked at her, before he shook his head and she walked over. She moved her arms around him in a hug, and he looked down at her.

"So apparently, I have got a good three, or more extra feet if I include my protective fierce nature and my sass, right?" She murmured and to her relief, she felt him laughing a bit at her words and she cracked a small smile of her own, as he was relaxing a bit.

"Do you hate me too?" He asked quietly and she looked at him with a shake of her head, as she looked at his eye and she held up another Gatorade to it.

"I don't hate you. Never did." Scout murmured and he held the Gatorade against his eye, as she shook her head again. "They might hate you now, but they won't, if you help us bring home the All-Valley Trophy, and keep it out of Cobra Kai's hands." She pointed out and he shrugged, and he looked at the gatorade.

"Fruit punch?" He asked as she lifted her shoulders with a small shrug, and he cracked the top open and he held it out to her with a clear question on his face. Scout took the drink and she was chugging it quickly, as he laughed and she finished it with a gulp, as she was holding the empty bottle. "Jesus. Well, I guess that I know who I want on my side for beer pong, then." He said and she smiled at his words, as she lifted a shoulder in a shrug.

"You coming? I can give you a ride home if you want." She offered and he chuckled, and he lifted his shoulders a bit at her words. Scout turned and she started walking away, whistling as she did.

"All right, all right! I'm coming!" He said with a laugh, as he started to jog and he caught up to her as she walked up to her car and the doors unlocked.

"Sorry, you aren't driving." She murmured and he sighed, giving her a puppy-dog look and she sighed softly in defeat. "Tomorrow, I promise." She said and the puppy-dog eyes went away at once, as he got into the passenger seat.

"Let me guess, buckle up?" Hawk joked and she looked at him, as she buckled her seatbelt and he did the same, as he yawned.

"So where to, Moskowitz? Yours or should we get some food first?" She asked and he chuckled.

"Golf N Stuff?" He asked and she scoffed at his words and she shook her head slightly.

"Fine. But... mark my words, you will be paying me back in full, if we waste all of my gas money at the arcade again. We clear?" She asked and Hawk smirked.

"Crystal." He said and she shook her head at him again, and she shifted it into gear and they drove off.
