Molting

"You've gotten sronger, tougher, faster. You've done your best. You're ready for this tornament, am I right?"

"Yes, Sensei!"

"Wrong!" Johnny threw an empty beer can from ontop of the car he was standing on. "Your best ain't shit! If you wanna win this All Valley Under-18 Karate Tournament, you gotta give me better than your best. Which is why from now on you're gonna get my worst."

Johnny walked up and down the car, looking down at them. "Do you understand?"

"Yes, Sensei!"

"Are you losers?"

"No Sensei!"

"Are you nerds?"

"No Sensei!"

"Are you sure?"

"No, Sensei!" Johnny put his face in his hands.

The rest of the day consisted of many activities : jumping through tires, smashing cars and balancing along a thin plank of wood.
"Move those feet. Go!"

"You're enemies are all around you. Destroy them!"

"Let's go, squirt. Good job, buddy. Go!"

"Attaboy!"

"Come on, princess. Let's go. Move that ass."

"There's nothing to fear except for fear itself. That and falling in sharp metal and broken glass, so don't do that!"

"Woah!" "Oh my goodness." Aisha fell on the tires making everyone else fall ontop of her.

"You wanna win? You gotta be hungry. You guys hungry." Johnny handed out a small peice of beef jerkey to everyone, chewing on it own.

"Yes, Sensei!"

"Good. 'Cause so are they." Lucky looked around as Johnny blew on a high pitched whistle. Barking dogs were heard approaching. Seeing the dogs run toward them, snarling viciously, the group began to run freaking out. "Oh shit!"

"This is fucked."

Overlapping screams where heard as everyone ran away. "Don't be afraid! They smell fear!"

Lucky was at the LaRusso's house sunbathing with Sam out by the pool.

Hearing their bamboo ornament rattle, Lucky looked to where the noise came from.

As a boy with longish hair up to the bottom of his ear turned around to face the girls, Sam quickly stood up. "Oh, hey." Lucky stayed where she was, looking at him.

"Hi. Sorry, I was... I was looking for Mr. LaRusso." He walked toward Sam. "He's been training me back here in the dojo."

Sam looked down and laughed. "Then I should thankyou. He tried roping me into it." He laughed too, and quickly looked over at Lucky then back to Sam.

"So you must be the daughter he talks about all the time."

"I would hope so." As Sam said this Lucky cleared her throat and walked up to them, "Oh right, uhm. This is Lucky, my friend." Robby held out his hand. Lucky looked in confusion before shaking it. "Okay.." She sighed. Sam just stood there awkwardly.

"I'm Samantha."

"Robby."

Lucky waved to Daniel as he walked into the garden, him waving back. "Oh, look at this. My current student and my former student. And well, Lucky too i guess."

"Always a pleasure Mr. LaRusso."

"You know, if you wanna join us, you two, there's still time."

"I'm actually going to the mall with mum and grandma."

"Yeah and, I've got plans." Lucky looked over at Robby as he stared at Sam.

"Oh, that's good. Just text me if there's any bloodshed. Robby give me a hand with this. We're gonna take the SUV. Bye-bye, sweetheart. Bye Lucky."

"Bye."

"Bye, Dad. Have fun."

"Good luck."

"It was nice meeting you both."

"You too."

Lucky smiled at him, "Yeah you too."

"And, uh.. Good luck with the tree."

Daniel looked back at them, "Robby." Robby rushed forward as they walked off.

Lucky scoffed, looking at Sam. "What?"  She shook her head at the girl. "What the hell was that about?" Sam furrowed her brows. "What are you talking about?"

"You were totally into eachother. Need i remind you that you have a boyfriend. Who also happens to be one of my best friends."

Now it was Sam's turn to scoff. "I don't know what your talking about. And i don't have to explain myself to you." Lucky laughed and rose her brows, " yeah. Okay."

Lucky was at the movies with Miguel, Aisha and Hawk. Lucky was sat next to Hawk as he threw popcorn at these girls infront. "Cut it out!" Lucky whispered, elbowing him in the ribs.

Hawk looked over to her, a smirk plastered on his face. "Why? You jealous?" Lucky scrunched her face up in disgust. "Ew no, you wish."

Hawk and Lucky looked over to Miguel as he was whispering his problem to Aisha. "Sam's dad hates Cobra Kai. I'm a part of Cobra Kai. So, by the transitive property. Sam's dad is gonna hate me."

"Jesus Christ, you're such a nerd." He then went back to throwing popcorn. Lucky leaned over him, speaking to Miguel. "I was just with Sam's dad, it's fine. He still likes me so why wouldn't he like you?"

"Yeah well, have you told him you're in Cobra Kai?" Lucky went back to her seat. "Well... no."

"Exactly. I'm telling you, it's not just on my mind.  Sam was acting weird the other day when her dad walked by."

Aisha shook her head. "Hm. Listen, I've known Mr. LaRusso since third grade. He's a really nice guy. You just have to talk to him."

Lucky focused back in on the movie, ignoring their conversation. She wasn't sure if she should tell Miguel about Robby. If Sam said they weren't into eachother then she should believe her.

"Dude, you should just go over there. Its alpha move." Lucky rolled her eyes at Hawk's comment. "Right, and what do you know about alpha moves?"

He frowned at her. "Only like, everything. Look at my hair!" Lucky looked at his hair. "It's huge.."
Hawk looked back at the screen, moving in his seat. "What? And yours isn't?" He threw another peice of popcorn at the girls, missing by alot and hitting a random man.

"Now who the hell did that?"
