The Serpent Queen

The Moment of Truth | Part Two

Daniel drove Mr Miyagi's car down the highway right next to the beach. The wind blew through their hair as they listened to the latest summer tunes.

Robby leaned forward to speak to Mr LaRusso, "I still don't understand how going to the country club  is gonna help us get students."

"It's not the students that I'm after, it's the parents."

"So, you're counting on kids listening to their parents?" Sam nearly laughed at that idea.

"No, I'm counting on parents doing whatever it takes to protect their kids. Look, I've tried everything else to promote Miyagi-Do. If this doesn't work, nothing will." Her father explained.

Around twenty minutes later, the Miyagi-Do trio arrived at the large fancy country club to see a lot of parents and their children walking around in beach wear.

"See? What did I tell ya? It's always packed here on Saturdays. Especially today since there's a new owner. He's introducing himself to all the members today." Daniel got out of the car when Sam and Robby did and handed his keys to the valet.

Amanda stood on the sidelines with Anthony waiting for them all to arrive. She approached her husband, "Cool wheels, Daddy-o. Maybe you can give me a ride sometime?" She smiled as she flirted.

"You know it, doll. We could cruise on down to the passion pit." Daniel wrapped an arm around her waist and planted a kiss on her lips. "Hey, Jack Durocher, he's got a kid at West Valley, doesn't he?"

"A son, I think, yeah. Hmm."

"You all right?" Sam asked Robby, noticing his slight fearful and uncomfortable expression at the sight of the building.

"Yeah, I just kind of used to work here."

Sam didn't know that, "Really? When?"

"Couple of days last summer. It wasn't a great fit."

Phoebe walked out of the bathroom with a bag filled with her gi and other clothes, ready for the Country Club. She saw that Assface, Douchebag and Miguel only were in the main dojo talking. "Where's Eli?"

"Outside on his phone." Miguel replied. "You look good."

"Thanks. Do I look snobby and rich?"

"Oh yeah."

Phoebe and Miguel began laughing.

"See you all later." She waved goodbye to the boys, noticing that Assface or Douchebag didn't speak or look at her.

She opened the main door. Noticing, Eli leaning against a support beam talking to someone on video call, she crept up to him and covered his eyes with her hands. "Guess who."

"Oh, I don't know. Phoebe?" He moved her head and turned around to look at her and her new dress.

"What do you think?" She did a small twirl. She wore a white and green floral button down dress that had a halter neck.

Hawk held his phone by his side and muted Demetri as he was just rambling on and he muted his own mic so his friend couldn't hear him either. Turning his full attention to Phoebe, he looked her up and down in awe, "Absolutely beautiful. Wow babe. Maybe we can sneak off somewhere private later and I can take it off you?"

She rolled her eyes, "In your dreams."

"That's exactly what I'll be dreaming of tonight?" He smirked.

"You're impossible you know that? Always thinking with the little man downstairs." She giggled.

"Hey! You know for a fact that it isn't. Your thing with Miguel is walking and talking, while ours is flirting and teasing each other. Most of the time I think with my brain."
