Halley Larusso had the perfect life, amazing friends, loving family, good grades and money, what else could she ask for? Well, that's easy to answer:
Nothing
(...cobrakai s1-?)
(...elixfem!oc)

That had turned into one of the more confusing Karate lessons Halley had in her life. And it turn weirder as they watched Chozen fry and egg in front of them
"You are not good Yabaru Kuina" Chozen stated the obvious "Snakes will take you down one by one. I have tried to tell you what you must do. But you do not listen. You must learn to adapt. Or soon, you will be extinct. Take knew eggs" he ordered "Try again" they obeyed
"Sensei, Toguchi's real cryptic, like Mr.LaRusso, but aggressive like Sensei Lawrence" Demetri said
"It's like the hardest part of both styles" Chris noted
"Can't wait to get our asses kicked again" Mitch started walking off, the rest following
"Uh, no. No, um..." Antony stopped them "G-guys, uh, wait..." they all stopped to listen to the youngest LaRusso "He said that the snakes will take us down one by one. Right? Just like he took us down one by one, but...But what if we weren't a bunch of ones? Like, what if we were..."
"Together" Sam finished for him when he struggled
"Exactly. Like, um, raiding party in Dungeons and Lords"
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" Demetri immediately understood the reference"Even if you are level 85, you can't mount an attack on the grand realm alone"
"Exactly. You need a team. Everybody has a special role" Eli continued. Then Halley realized she was surrounded by a bunch of nerds, but their analogy was working so she was glad for that
"The only way we win is if we work together. As one" Anthony finished and they started their plan. The put all of their eggs in a hat and they all stood in front of them like a barrier
"So, we're sure we want to put all our eggs in one basket?" Demetri asked unsure "You're specifically not supposed to do that"
"This is gonna work" Antony tried to sound convincing but he sounded as nervous as everyone looked. And their nervous stances didn't change when the whistle was heard
"Oh, no. Oh,no! Oh, god" Mitch panicked
"Get it together, penis breath" Eli told him
"Where even is he?" Halley asked, her stance switching to one of defense she was so familiar with
"Oh shit" Miguel said as they could finally see Chizen running towards them "Ready!" Everyone was firm and Chozen attacked immediately with his bo staff, Eli being the first one to defend, followed by Robby who kicked the staff away but was knocked off quickly along with Eli, then Halley came into play, the staff came her way, she moved out of the way and grabbed it to redirection where the stick was going letting it move in the way of Demetri's kick and the staff was pushed back towards Halley who managed to get a stable grip on it
"Get the bo!" Someone screamed and they all jumped to do that
"Get him! Get him!"
"Come on!" They got the staff but Chozen let go of it and rolled from under them and into the opposite direction making them lose balance. Halley turned around in time to see Sam finally jumping into the fight, Miguel following suit but Chozen managed them both, they continued going in pairs against the older man but he was unsurprisingly hard to beat. Finally they managed to get some distance between them and the sensei, all of them fell in the same line they were before, stances ready for attack, when Chozen tried they all reacted at the same time, keeping him away, this happened a couple of times before their Sensei dropped his stance
"Snake concede" he told them calmly and bowed to them which sent them into cheers of happiness
"Dude, it worked" They all turned to Anthony who thought of the idea and hugged him and clapped his back
"This is what we have that Cobra Kai does not" Chozen told them, they could hear how proud he was in his voice "Their movement mile wild, but only inch deep. But out movement, inch wide, but mile deep. Now that you have learned to work together, I will teach you how to master your defense" he screamed in Japanese again, but this time they knew what to do, they stood straight and then bowed when the sensei told them to

At the end of the day, Eli waited by Halley's car, not for another reason that she was his ride, he arrived with her and now had no one else to go home with so he waited. When they got in the car there were about five minutes of silence as Halley pulled out of the dojo. She saw how Eli was not talking as he usually would've been, and Halley knew exactly why
"You're not seriously jealous about Robby" She said without taking her eyes off the road
"I'm not" he grumbled with his eyes closed
"I'm having a deja-vu right now" Halley said as she remembered that one fight they had after the tournament last year "We've had this conversation before and the my argument is still the same. Robby's my friend or at least he's trying to be again. There's no point in you being jealous"
"I'm just- he just- ugh" he groaned and Halley understood why Eli still held a grudge, I mean, Robby did went after him, tie him down and cut his hair off but it's not like both of them hadn't done horrible things to each other and to other people
"Can you use words, please?"
"Every time I see his face I remember what he did" he managed to get out
"And that's fair, that was awful, you get to be angry" Halley was thinking about becoming a therapist, she was pretty damn good "But don't you think if we all manage to forgive you, you can try and at least not look at him like you want to kill him"
"I could" he shrugged
"I guess that's good enough" Halley smiled at him and he did it back the same way

Hello, hello
The fighting scene was so messy in the show, I did my best to write it out. It's 3:00am as I wrote this so if it's bad, don't blame me, blame the lack of sleep.
Also, we love Heli solving their problems in a healthy and non-toxic way, they've come such a long way.
