Daniel practiced his dancing, in preparation for the dance club he was going to with Chi that night. Suddenly, a familiar laugh came from outside. He rushed outside- Chi and Mr. Miyagi already opened the gate, standing outside the house. "We have been seen to get you!" Chozen sneered, holding a hoe in his hand. Daniel immediately stepped beside them, as Chi looked over to him. She frowned sadly, but Daniel wasn't sad. He was enraged, not believing they wouldn't just leave Mr. Miyagi alone. "Tell uncle I no fight." Mr. Miyagi replied calmly, causing Chozen to yell a command. Suddenly- he and his two minions took the hoes to the garden behind them, destroying the crop. Daniel stepped forward to stop them... but was stopped by Mr. Miyagi who maintained a straight face. Chi sighed, knowing this wouldn't be the end of it.

Later, Daniel and Chi walked into the dance club- Daniel wearing a flashy dancing jacket, Chi a long suede skirt. Music played, as couples and friends tapped to the beat. Chi smiled, looking around the dance floor. Daniel sighed, obviously still frustrated by the events earlier. Chi looked up to him, frowning. "Mr. Miyagi is handling it. Besides, we can't let that ruin our time here." Daniel smiled warmly, as "Take on Me" by A-ha started playing. They both laughed, surprised their favorite song was playing. Chi smiled widely, taking both of Daniel's hands, pulling him onto the dance floor. Daniel immediately twirled Chi around him, tapping his foot to the beat. They then split apart, Chi shimming to the song. Daniel imitated an Elvis move, causing Chi to laugh. He then grabbed her waist- twirling her around one more, sliding around the floor. People were watching them now, as Daniel pulled Chi under him, her popping up in front of him. Her skirt swayed dramatically, as she placed her arms on his shoulders, his on her waist. They continued to shimmy, until the song ended. They were both out of breath- causing Daniel to direct Chi over to a small table. They sat down, wide smiles on their faces. "God that was great!" Chi exclaimed, as Daniel laughed proudly. "I got the moves, huh?" he asked as Chi giggled. A slow song started to play in the background, as they stared each other in the eyes. Daniel slid his hands on the table slowly, Chi immediately grabbing them. "I meant to ask you..." he started, Chi leaning in a bit to hear him. "Do you know about college yet?" he asked, gulping. She smiled. "I'd like to stay local... she started, and Daniel immediately loosened up, taking a deep breath. "Same..." he said, looking into her eyes. Suddenly, a beer glass slammed on the table. Daniel scoffed, and Chi looked away slowly. "Money back." Chozen stated firmly, holding out his hand. "No! Just leave us alone." Daniel exclaimed, slowly getting up with Chi. Chozen grabbed Daniel violently, slamming him against the wall- as Chozen's clones grabbed Chi tightly, holding her mouth. Daniel coughed, due to having the wind knocked out of him. Chi struggled against the man holding her, yelling under his hand. Chozen laughed- grabbing his wallet, as Daniel slowly inched upwards, leaning against the wall. Chozen snickered, snatching the money out of the wallet. Daniel then looked to Chi worriedly, fighting against the man's grip. "Don't worry about friend, ah? She come home with me." he said, causing Chi to fight harder. Daniel- completely enraged by the comment, sent a punch in between Chozen's legs. Chi stepped on the man's foot, and they both doubled over in pain. Daniel immediately grabbed Chi's arm, taking the money,  sprinting out of the dance club. They had made it down the street when Chozen staggered out of the club, holding up his fist in anger. Daniel and Chi had stopped around the corner, in order to catch their breaths. "You ok?" he asked Chi, fighting between breaths. She nodded slowly, also breathing heavily. He frowned, embracing her in a quick hug- before they began to run back around the street.
