"Dude, you spilled a glass of wine. So what?" Hawk asked as they warmed up, Miguel talking about his dinner the night before. Kody sat on the ground, leaning back on his palms.
"I don't know, man. You should have heard the way Mr.LaRusso was talking about Sam's future." Miguel gave a sad look, not even bothering to warm up . "I can't even afford a car, let alone college."
"Sam doesn't care about that sort of thing, you know that." Kody spoke up to shake his head at Miguel. "I mean, she loves you, right?"
"I don't know." Miguel shook his head. "Things have been...off lately."
"Off?" Hawk looked in confusion.
"It feels like when we got back together, things just were...not like how they use to be." he tried to find the correct explanation.
"Well, if there's some trouble in the afterlife, it has nothing to do with college or cars." Kody stood up with an exhale.
"The afterlife?" Miguel's eyes widened.
"He means trouble in paradise." Hawk pointed out.
"Mm, yes." he agreed.
The red haired boy realized that they weren't helping. "You're El Serpiente. All Valley champ. I know you're gonna crush whatever Mr.LaRusso throws at us today."
"Compared to Sensei Lawrence's training, todays gonna be a vacation." Mitch spoke up, nodding with a minor laugh.
"Who's going on vacation?" Daniel jumped into their conversation, coming from the dojo.
Kody looked his way, feeling nervous. Miguel cleared his throat. "Uh, no one. What do you got for us today?"
"Come here." Daniel spoke up with a minor smile, leading them toward the pond. Hawk looked back to make sure Kody had been following, smiling at him when they caught eyes. Kody looked back, almost expected him to be smiling at someone else.
"Look, I know you've all been taught to strike first. What do you do when your opponent is faster then you?" Daniel eyed each of them, standing up on the rock slightly.
"Are those real koi?" Mitch stared in amazement.
"Nemo?" the O'Dell boy leaned over the side with a curious look.
"Yes, they are real." Daniel answered Mitch's previous question, giving Kody a minor smile. "And Nemo was a Goldfish, but they are distance Cousins with the Koi."
It made his face light up.
"Todays lesson is simple. Catch a fish. But since I know you Eagle Fangs like a little bit of competition, we're gonna make it interesting. So the first to succeed, will have the honor of leading class all week." Daniel nodded at the group, announcing the plan for the day.
His offer didn't seem to interest any of the students, sighing. "And you also get to pick out what flavor Gatorade I buy next."
"Aw, hell yes!" Mitch yelled with a bright grin. "Hope you all like Glacial Freeze."
