"Cold hearts brew colder songs. Fate will play us out with a song of pure romance. Stomp your feet and clap your hands. Let's kill tonight!"

A/N: So, I did a combination of my options I asked you guys about in terms of publishing this chapter. This is the first of two or three (I'm still deciding) and this is easily the longest.

Zion's POV

I snuggle closer to Robby under the covers that warm and protect our bodies from the night before. He's still asleep, but his arm subconsciously wraps around me. 

I know we have karate this morning and prom tonight, but I can't find it in myself to care enough to do something about it. Instead, I let my breathing even out and sleep again.

"Guys, the limo is coming at six. So, don't be late or else we leaving 'cause my date and I, we on a mission," Kyler boasts loudly throughout the dojo.

Tory walks in as Piper laughs in response, "Oh my God. I bet she doesn't even exist."

I break away from warming up with Robby and go over and hug my best friend.

"Whoa, you're touchy today," she hugs me back slightly.

"Mhm," I agree with a wide smile. "Know why?"

"Why?" she questions.

"Robby and I had our first time last night," I whisper happily.

"No way," Tory's face lights up. 

"So, are you ready for tonight?" I change the topic as Robby walks over to join us.

"A whole night dedicated to ruining Sam LaRusso's life? Yeah, I'm ready," Tory smirks.

I look wearily at Robby. He nods to me and I speak up.

"Um, we're actually not going to fight tonight," I tell her.

"Oh, me neither. At least, not physically," the blonde laughs. "I told Mrs. LaRusso that I'd leave her precious daughter alone and I can't risk suspension or violating my probation, so it's just the fact that we are there that will ruin her night."

"And you're excited to go with me, yeah?" Piper rushes over.

"No shit," Tory smiles and pulls her in for a quick kiss.

"All right, class. Fall in," Sensei Kreese emerges from the back with our other sensei.

I try not to let what Daniel LaRusso said to me two nights ago impact me. He's wrong about Silver.

"Today's lesson is about balance. Not the way Miyagi-Do teaches it," Sensei Kreese continues. "You're gonna learn how to get inside the heads of your opponents and throw them off balance. Pair up."

I look at Robby and we agree to train together. 

"This is very different," Robby agrees as he recalls the Miyagi-Do techniques. "Kinda cool, though."
