Kit sat at the airport, her foot tapping. Saying goodbye to her friends was hard, it was hard not having Miguel there. Through it all, she didn't think she'd experienced this much pain before. Her bags were beside her, alone now after they all left, teary eyed as she was. Kit was hungry when she left the All Valley, but now she thought that if she ate something, she'd throw up.

Her flight was called, she's looking up to the screen. Kit swallowed, exhaling as she stood up, grasping her suitcase. Only taking a few steps, her name was ringing through the air. "Kit! Kit! Wait!"

Turning, she saw a Cobra Kai gi running through the airport, a large trophy in one hand. She blinked in shock. "Tory?"

"Wait!" Tory pushed through people, not caring that she'd knocking a few over. She slowed down when she got to her, breaking heavy. "You can't leave."

"Tory, i'm gonna miss my f-" she started.

"You can't leave me here." the brunette breathed heavy. "I really need you."

Kit frowned. "I don't know what I can do."

"Stay, just for the summer." Tory begged, her eyes watery as she held the trophy. "I can't handle all of this without you here. I'm not trying to guilt trip you, but I seriously need you, Kit. You're my best friend, and I love you."

Kit gave a sad smile, nodding her head. "It's not up to me. You know that."

"Not if you get emancipation." Tory said back, setting the trophy down with a serious look. "I've been looking into it."

"Emancipated? How can I do that? I don't wanna join the military." Kit looked as her with wide eyes, glancing back. "Tory, I really can't-"

"If your parents consent to you getting married, you are legally emancipation." Tory cut her off quickly with a knowing look. "Most people don't know that. But, if you're a minor, and your parents consent to marriage, you are no long in their control afterwards."

"What makes you think my parents would let me get marriage?" she gapped at her. "This is insane."

Tory pulled her phone out, holding it to her ear. Kit pulled an odd look. "What are you doing?"

"Hi, Mrs.Clairmont." Tory spoke on the other line. "Is Mr.Clairmont with you?"

"Yes, we're both here. Hi, sweetie. How are you?" she called from the other line as Tory put her on speaker. "Is Kit with you?"

"Hi, mom." Kit spoke with a clear of her throat.

"Kitty-Kat!" Ruiz announced from the other line. "You at the airport yet?"

"That's what I was actually calling to talk to you about." Tory spoke from the other line, faking a whimper as Kit gave an odd look. "You remember my mom, don't you?"

"Aw, yes. How is she?" Kits mom asked.

"Same as always. But, we recently lost our health insurance and it's been really hard to pay rent, bills, groceries, and all her medications." Tory spoke from the other line. "I obviously wouldn't ask you guys this, but Kit told me you had great health insurance."

"We do. But, I don't know if we can claim you because you aren't legally our child." Ruiz spoke up as Kit and Tory shared a look. "What else could we do?"

"Legally, if Kit and I get marriage, I can be added to her insurance plan." the Nichols girl spoke up with an exhale. "I know it's a really big decision, but I really do need this. You guys would be helping me out. And, it's just until I can manage to get on a good plan again."

The other line was silent, Tory gave Kit a worried look as the Clairmont girl grabbed her phone. "Mom, dad, I know you probably weren't expecting that, but Tory has busted her ass to keep her mom healthy and her brothers feed and happy. The least we can do is help her out. And, no one would have to know if you guys are worried about that. Like Tory said, it's only until she can get on a good plan again."

The line was silent a second longer. "If this can truly help your mom, Tory, then we consent."

"Only until we can get you on a good plan again, and no one needs to know about this. We don't want to seem like lousy parents for letting our teenage daughter get married." Ruiz spoke up, Tory and Kit shared a grin. "Kit, could you mail the papers?"

"Yes, is there any way we can push the flight back a week to give the mail enough time to process and we bring them to the court house?" Kit asked over the line, her heart jumping with joy. "I'll come down immediately after that."

"Sure. You two be safe though, and remember what we said." Mrs.Clairmont spoke.

"We will." Tory promised, hanging up the phone as she looked to Kit. "Them letting you get married is the least lousy thing they've ever done."

"Took everything I had not to say that." Kit nodded her head, exhaling. "Thank you, for that. I'm sorry you had to make up something so serious."

"I didn't make it up, it's true." Tory frowned as Kits face fell. "So, really, i'm gonna get the health insurance I need and you're gonna get away from your lying, abandoning dad and mom who puts you on liquid diets."

Kit gave a worried look. "Are we seriously gonna do this?"

"I'm okay if you are." Tory gave a questionable look to Kit, who was hesitant and seemed scared. Then she thought about what life would be like if she was forced to move. She didn't want that life, it wasn't healthy, nor was it something she wanted to fall into the habit to. And Tory. Tory needed to help her mom, needed to take care of her. And without health insurance, she was spending thousands of dollars monthly juet to keep her mom well.

Kit exhaled, staring at her with a little grin. "Let's go get married."
