"The whole fence," Demetri says, shocked. Clover chuckled, this was the start of both of their training. She got started
"That's like 1,200 square feet" Demetri complains
"Actually times 2. You forgot the other side" Mr.LaRusso tells him.
"Oh please Mr. LaRusso, he's going to complain more" Clover jokingly groans.
Clover starts the painting, up and down strokes. Then we start to follow what Mr.LaRusso does
"I'm not exactly the most flexible," Demetri tells him.
"And I have a little trouble maintaining balance, hope that's not an issue, Disproportionate limbs" Demetri continues.
We started painting the side of the house, following Mr. LaRusso's instructions.
" Can I at least use a roller" Demetri asks, Clover rolls her eyes at the boy
Then we started sanding the deck
"Left circle, right circle" Mr.LaRusso instructs
"Ah!Ah!"Demetri exclaims
"What's wrong?" Mr.LaRusso asks, Clover looks at him concerned
"Splinter, uh.. It's a big one" Demetri says, Clover releases her breath, that she didn't know she was holding.
Then it's meditation time, Clover was actually enjoying doing it
"How much longer are we going to do this? My arms are getting tired and I've had to pee since before we started"Demetri complains. Mr.LaRusso sighs
The next morning comes again, Miles didn't even say anything to you this morning like he usually would, you head off to Miyagi Do to do everything we did yesterday again
"Hey, are we doing shirts vs skins cause I prefer to be shirts, not saying you have to be skins, you have the right to choose" Demetri rambles.
"Demetri, Clover over here" Mr. LaRusso calls over
"Hey Mr. L before we begin..." He digs through his pocket until he pulls out a folded piece of paper
"It's a note from my mom excusing me from any extensince arm and leg movements, so if there is an alternative lesson I could do. Maybe a workbook" Demetri tells him, Clover gives him a weird look, isn't that what you mostly do in karate?
"Show me sand the floor" He asks Demetri
"You want me to sand it again? It's pretty smooth" Demetri complains
"No not actually... The movement. Show me the movement remember" He explains
"You ready? Hiats" Demetri gets into a stance. Mr. LaRusso kicks him, he lets out a whine.
"You kicked me!" Demetri exclaims
"Why didn't you block, Demetri? You know this. This is the muscle memory"Mr. LaRusso asks.
"Incase you haven't noticed I don't have muscles"Demetri says
"Do you want.. To be here, Demetri?" Mr. LaRusso asks
"Not really"He replies
"Then why are you here?" Mr. LaRusso inquired. Clover steps back a bit to leave them to it.
After a bit, Mr. LaRusso calls you back over
"Alright Clover, show me paint the fence" He tells her, she gets into her stance
"Ready? Hiats" Mr LaRusso says, about to hit me I block, then again. Mr. LaRusso looks at me impressed.
After practice they all head out to the mall to hang out and know each other better.
"Sweet man bun." Sam says, looking at his picture
"I told you it was a horrible picture." Robby told them
"You know, if you were friends with me at the time, I could have warned you that this was a fad." Sam says
"Yeah, well, I'm stuck with it for five years, so no biggie, right?" Robby dismisses
"Wait."Robert Swayze Keene"?" Clover says, taking the picture out of Sam's hands
" My mom was a huge fan of Patrick Swayze. He was an actor in the '80s." Robby explains
"Yeah, like I haven't seen Dirty Dancing, like, 100 times." Sam tells them
"My mom made me watch it all the time." Robby says
"Made you?" Clover says, raising an eyebrow
"Okay, maybe I liked it." Robby admits, Clover and Sam laugh
"I'm more partial to his performance in Donnie Darko. Interesting movie. Mmm, time travel logic left a lot to be desired." Demetri says, joining them back at the table
"Wait. Is today Wednesday? Yeah." Demetri questions
"Mmm-hmm."Robby replies
"The new issue of Dungeon Lord came out. Um, do you guys want anything from the comic book store?" Demetri asks us
"Um, no, thanks." Robby responds, smiling at the boy
"Okay, uh, I'll be right back. Make sure no one throws away my chicken." Demetri says, running off to the comic book store. They chuckle at him.
"I'm gonna go get a refill" Clover says, getting up and grabbing her cup
"I'll come with, I need one too. What about you Sam?" Robby asks, she nods. They get up, grab Demetri's chicken and head to get refills that were nearby.
Clover waits for Sam and Robby to finish their refills, she then see's Hawk and a bunch of other cobra's and Demetri. All of them ganging up on him.
"Guys, Demetri" Clover says, grabbing their attention. They put their drinks down and walk over to help. Sam gets the boy off of Demetri.
"I don't want to have to hit a girl," Hawk says.
"You won't stand a chance" Robby replies, walking towards them.
"I see you had to bring your gang with you just beat up one boy, you're looking to be very insecure here" Clover speaks up after joining Sam and Robby. Hawk striked, Robby blocked. The rest of the Cobras start attacking Sam and Clover so they block and punch as much as possible. One by one the cobras go down. Robby kicking Hawk down last. A crowd around them.
"We saved your chicken."Sam says, handing over the take away container. Clover laughs slightly
"Thanks." Demetri says, they start to head back
"What happened?" Mr. LaRusso asks, once they get back.
"Well, they were gonna hurt Demetri." Clover starts, unknown of how to continue
"We had to do something. Are you mad at us?" Sam continued for her. Clover, Sam and Robby look up at Mr. LaRusso.
"Oh No, I'm not mad. I'm proud of you. Karate isn't only about self-defence. It's about protecting others. Just don't give me a heart attack like that ever again, all right? I mean, just 'cause we train to fight, doesn't mean I wanna see you in a fight." Mr.LaRusso tells them, Clover smiled at him slightly.
"And you. I'm glad you're part of this family." Mr.LaRusso says, patting Robby's shoulder.
"And you Clover are a great addition to this dojo"Mr.LaRusso says, smiling at her.
Later on towards dinner, she headed home for dinner. Dinner was quiet, no conversations. Miles and Clover weren't talking, barely have since she joined Miyagi Do, she sighed.
2 updates in a row, last one before Christmas.
A/n: Merry Christmas or happy Hanukkah or however you celebrate have a great holiday and I'll be back mostly like before new year
