CHAPTER TWELVE
the moment of truth

"Maybe some of us should take a video of us sparring and post it on Instagram," Robby suggests, and Love perks up.

"Don't look too eager, Love," Venus jokes, nudging her sister.

"Everyone saw us at Valley Fest," Sam shrugs, "No one cared."

"You know what the problem is?" Robby says, "Miyagi Do is all about defense."

"Defense wins championships."

"But offense brings people in."

Venus nods, "He has a point. I mean, that's why everyone wants to go to Cobra Kai. Offense."

"So what are we supposed to do?" Sam questions, "Go to the mall and pick a fight? Record us defending ourselves?"

Venus raises her eyebrows.

"Why would you say that?" Love sighs, "Now she's gonna want to do just that."

"It's not the worst idea," Robby shrugs.

Sam shakes her head, "It is a terrible idea."

Johnny looks at the new recruits and sighs. They're fucking pathetic.

"Alright," Johnny says, "I thought my last group was pathetic, but Jesus. If you do what I tell you, you'll at least have a shot at becoming a fighter."

Aisha stands in front of Johnny, nodding.

"To do that," He says, "You got to fight. Who here has the balls to take on our champion?"

Silence, and then:

"One of us can," A female voice rings out. Everyone turns around and is met with with a brunette girl with bright blonde highlights and a brown-haired girl who already looks pissed off.

"Oh, you will, huh?" Johnny raises his eyebrows.

"We saw your little demo at Valley Fest," The blonde-highlights one says, "You can put on a show..."

The pissed off one nods, "But can any of you actually fight?"

"That sounds like a challenge," Johnny suggests.

"Ding, ding, ding," The pissed off one says, sarcastically.

"You," Johnny points to the pissed off one, "I don't like you. You're fighting my champ."

The pissed off one smiles, "Aw. I'm honored."

"Mr. Diaz!" Johnny calls for Miguel, "Show Little Miss Hotshot what Cobra Kai is all about."

Miguel slowly approaches the pissed off girl, clearly confident, "Are you sure you want to--"

She almost immediately kicks him, causing Miguel to stumble back a bit.

"Alright," He chuckles, "Game on."

The next forty-two seconds consist of the fight switching on and off between who's winning, when Miguel successfully pins her to the ground.

"You're not bad," He says, "I'm Miguel."

The pissed off girl flips them around, holding Miguel's arm behind his back and keeping her other hand on the side of his face.

"Harley."

A road trip with the Samantha and Daniel LaRusso wasn't exactly how Love thought her day would shake out, but she certainly wasn't complaining.
