let's begin

it was finally happening- both miyagi-do, eagle fang, and ex-cobra kais were standing in the same dojo, and they weren't fighting.

it was bright outside, and the birds were chirping. it was almost like the day reflected the peacefulness of the two dojos coming together.

you stood next to hawk, who stood next to demetri. you looked up at hawk, giving him a small smile. his pinky brushed yours in return.

"ready?" daniel spoke out to the group. johnny followed after, yelling, "let's begin!" into the silence.

you looked around a bit confused, noticing everyone else doing the same. you made eye contact with johnny, raising your eyebrows as if to say "that's all you got?"

"uh, begin what exactly?" demetri spoke with a raised hand. johnny and daniel looked at each other with uncertain looks of confusion before daniel spoke up.

"begin a new era." daniel spoke motivationally. "many of us used to be enemies." he continued.

you felt eyes on you, and when you turned to your left, sam was looking at you. her eyes had a hopeful glint in them, yours did not. even though you switched sides and you weren't sure if tory would ever forgive you, you would never befriend the girl who kissed her boyfriend. you loved tory too much to do that to her, regardless of how she feels about you.

"the all valley tournament is a just a few months away, and this year the stakes are higher than they've ever been."

you thought back to just a few weeks ago when johnny and daniel made that bet with kreese. if daniel and johnny lose in the all valley, they would have to give up teaching karate forever.

"we know that cobra kai is gonna use every dirty trick in the book. there's only one way we're going to be able to beat-" daniel was cut off by johnny's loud voice.

"by kicking their asses so hard they shit themselves!" johnny interrupted. daniel turned to the man trying to butt in, but johnny kept talking.

"we gotta take things to the next level!" johnny spoke pacing around the front of daniel's dojo.

"they strike first? we'll pre-strike!" johnny was cut off by daniel.

you and hawk shared confused looks, obviously they didn't have their shit together before they planned this whole get-together.

"okay, we're getting ahead of ourselves. we are going to respond to what they do." daniel spoke before getting cut off by johnny, again.

they went back and forth for a while before telling everyone to line up.

everyone got in lines, ready to fight, while others were ready to do breathing exercises. that didn't go well.

next, you all practiced fighting.

you and mitch stood in front of each other with your hands up in fists. you took the first swing at mitch, which he surprisingly blocked. after he blocked, you swung at him again hitting his head before landing a kick in his stomach, sending him backwards.

you proudly smiled at johnny, who smiled right back at you.

"you just swung at him, y/n!" daniel semi-yelled at you, making your smile turn to a frown.

"don't you teach any defense?" daniel turned to johnny.

"best defence is more offense." mitch spoke proudly, reaching for a high-five from you, which you gladly returned with a proud smirk.

the fighting went on for an hour, before you had to wash cars.

hawk handed you a new rag with a teasing smile making you squint your eyes at him in disgust. "you should know me better than that, eli." you told him in all seriousness.
