The Serpent Queen

Fire and Ice | Part Four

At the Halloween dance in 1984, the tight knit group of Cobras all co-ordinated their costumes. They all wore a skeleton costume with white gloves and black and white makeup on their faces. On this particular night, Johnny and George were in the boy's bathroom.

"Johnny." George said, knocking in a few stall doors in an attempt to find his friend. He peaked over another stall and banged on it. "Johnny."

The other blond haired Encino kid stood up and took the speaker from his set of black headphones away from his ear. He just sat on the toilet, not doing any of his business, he was in there just rolling up a joint on his knee.

"You got it rolled it?" George asked, hearing the rock music that his friend listened to.

"In a minute." Johnny replied, sitting back down."Where are you even getting your lighter and your cigarettes from in that costume?"

"My shoe."

"And where'd you get this?" He meant about the joint.

"The guy who sells me these cigs hooked me up with a two joints."

"Have you smoked yours?"

"Yeah, man. Didn't like it. I'll stick with my usual. You've got the other one. I'm going to get the guys. Okay?"

"Yeah. Hurry up."

George walked out of the bathroom passing a red shower curtain with white polka dots on it. He had seen it during the dance in the gymnasium. It was the strangest costume he'd seen that night other that the guy wearing the large chicken suit.

In the time George went and found his other friends, Daniel LaRusso had aimed a water hose at the top of Johnny's head while still sitting in the stall. He had been the one wearing the shower curtain costume. Out of revenge, the Miyagi-Do student turned the water on and completely soaked the head teenage Cobra. He quickly ran out of the bathroom with Johnny chasing him.

George stood with Tommy, Jimmy, Dutch, and Bobby by the closest exit to the nearest boy's bathroom in the school waiting for Johnny. They saw Daniel with the shower curtain shove by them.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Look out!" Daniel pushed by everyone in the dance to run away.

Johnny then came sprinting into the gymnasium. "Come on. Let's get him!"

All six Cobras ran through the sea of people to get to Daniel, however, Ali sneakily stalled them by tripping Johnny. When he fell down, all his friends fell down to the wooden floor. They scrambled up and chased after the little LaRusso menace all the way out of the school building and through a scene of a car accident that Daniel caused.

George knew his white running shoes would get stained with patches of green when they followed Daniel through a grassy lot of land after jumping and climbing over a chain link fence. At the end of the grassy lot happened to be another chain link fence which Daniel attempted to climb over, but he caught up to him first. Johnny Lawrence may have been Cobra Kai's top student, but George was the quickest.

"He ain't going over." A few seconds later, Johnny helped George grab Daniel and drag him down from behind. The newcomer to the Valley had forgone the shower curtain and was left in his jeans and jersey.

Then, the rest of the Cobras arrived breathing hard, the four surrounded Daniel to make sure he didn't escape.

"We got him now." Jimmy laughed.

Johnny shoved Daniel towards Dutch, who kneed him in the stomach, "You little wimp." He shoved Daniel back towards the top student.

Johnny, who was soaking wet and furious, had Daniel by the collar of his jersey, "You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you, little twerp? No, you had to push it. Now you're going to pay." He punched him in the chest this time.
