Izzie has been next door neighbors with Johnny Lawrence forever. That's why when he has the sudden urge to help train new kid, Miguel Diaz in karate, Izzie has no choice but to help. That's what starts it. How karate slowly takes over her life. Her...

The Dojo was painted an off-white color. The mats were red and black and the sign had a big snake on it. Izzie was pretty proud considering she helped decorate a lot of it.
She was especially proud of the lettering on the wall. Not so much the message, but it looked pretty good. Johnny messed up the first time, so Izzie had to paint over it and then do it herself. She actually had a good time.
When Izzie and Miguel came in the next day, she admired all her hard work. The dojo was still in terrible shape and definitely not ready for people, but Johnny didn't really care.
Izzie took off her shoes and stepped onto the middle of the mat. She looked over at the wall and smiled.
STRIKE FIRST STRIKE HARD NO MERCY
Miguel looked around, in awe at the place. He was pretty impressed that Johnny and Izzie got so much work done during the short amount of time.
Izzie got off the mat and sat down on the side of the wall. Miguel asked her if she was going to train with him and she immediately laughed in his face. He pretty much got the message after that.
She watched as the two of them faced each other in the middle of the mat. Neither of them spoke for a good couple of minutes and Izzie couldn't help but feel awkward.
Miguel finally decided to speak up, "So, am I gonna get the karate pajamas, too—"
"Quiet!" Johnny yelled making Izzie flinch slightly.
"Ok." Miguel said quietly.
Johnny had a tall, strong stance that made Miguel look pretty wimpy. "The student only speaks when spoken to. Is that understood?"
"Yes." Johnny looked at Miguel. Izzie could already tell he was starting to regret this. "Yes, sir?"
"Always address me a sensei. Is that understood?" Izzie couldn't help but chuckle under her breath at the ridiculous of this all.
She has always been used to seeing Johnny as, yes, tough, but also just the weird guy who lives next door and always asks for food. But, he was definitely still weird.
"Oh. Yes, sensei." Miguel was clearly nervous about all of this. Izzie didn't blame him. This seemed like a lot.
Johnny looked down at his clothes, "These aren't pajamas. This is a gi. And you'll get one when you've earned it."
