Queen of The Valley • Robby Keene

Chapter 41

{season 5 episode 1}

Sylvia woke up to a honk outside. There were tears yesterday, tears Sylvia hasn't let out since her dad left. She rolled out of bed and walked outside to see Robby and sensei standing by the car. "What's going on?" Sylvia asks and rubbed her eye and one bruised eye. "We're going on a trip" sensei grins tossing his keys up. Sylvia knew this was to find Miguel. "Alright let me get my stuff" she mumbled and walked back to her apartment.

Sylvia already packed last night cause sensei told her too. She snatched a baseball cap hanging from her chair and a hoodie. Sylvia walked outside and got into the back seat. "Do we really have to go at 8 in the morning it's summer. I thought I would at least stay in bed till 12" Sylvia mumbled and put her elbows on the arm rest between the two front seats.

They stopped at a gas station in Mexico. Sylvia sleeping all the way there with her hood and hat on. Sensei went inside and Sylvia and Robby sat on the edge of the van, feet on the sandy ground. She leaned her head on his shoulder tired as fuck. "You still tired?" He asked. "yes" Sylvia mumbled.

"Got us some choice supplied for the next leg of our road trip." Sensei said walking up to them. "Mexican cokes." He said and pulled out two glass cokes. "I think here they're just cokes." Robby said and got up. Dragging Sylvia with.

"Mexican candy, chicharróns. And just picked up this badass cell phone. It's got 60 minutos on it. That's like, 300 American minutes." Sensei said and threw it in the car. "Oh ok" Sylvia mumbled and leaned my back onto the car. "And I got you a little something to say, welcome to Mexico. Don't tell me it's offensive. We bought it in Mexico. It's their idea." Sensei said.

He pulled out a corgi wearing a hat. "Did you get my drink?" Sylvia asks. He digs into his bag and chucks a monster to her. "And here. Gift number two." He pulled out a shirt with FBI on it. "Turn it around." Sensei smirked. Robby turned it around and held it up. Sylvia dramatically rolled her eyes and got up from leaning. "Isn't that great? I got one for me too." Johnny laughed. "Yeah that's just great" Sylvia sarcastically nods. Robby looked at me smiling. "That's- beautiful."

"So what are we actually doing here? Don't say it's a bonding thing. We could've done that 500 miles ago." Robby was obviously suspicious. "All right look this is a bonding thing. There's something to take care of first." Sensei said.

"alright. Let's get moving" Sylvia pats Robby's chest before there's awkwardness. She went into the van and Robby next to her. As the car started reversing out the parking lot. Sylvia got my phone out and opened messages to a no service page. "Shit! Why doesn't Mexican people make Wi-Fi or something?" She slapped the phone onto her lap. "You know that's offensive" sensei said and pointed to her. "Shut up" I dragged out and put my hands on my face.

Sylvia started falling asleep but her head kept leaning one way and she has to pull it back. Sylvia felt Robby pull her head onto his shoulder so she could finally fell asleep. Sylvia woke up to Robby and sensei fighting. "You've got to be kidding me" Robby said. "You have every right to be upset." Sensei said. "How could you take me to me Mexico and not mention once we're coming to get Miguel?" Robby asked and yelled. Sylvia pulled her head up and rubbed her eyes. "Come on Robby let's go to Mexico come back with some stories." Robby mocked sensei.

"I wasn't bullshitting you Robby I want to fix our relationship. When I heard Miguel was in trouble, I had to do something. I just couldn't leave you at home I'm done doing that. Besides I need your help to find Miguel." Sensei ranted. "My help? Do you even have a plan?" Robby asked. "Of course I do" sensei said. "No you don't" Sylvia scoffs as she sips the monster. "Shut up. Go back to sleep" sensei waves her off. "Hey don't be rude to her" Robby argued. He grabbed her hand. "Ok, Miguel's looking for hector Salazar. I know where the kid gets off the bus. That's our first stop." Sensei explains.

After they argued Sylvia looked forward and saw a car. "Shit! Watch out!" She yelled. Sensei drove them into a ditch. And then the tire hissed.

They all groaned and got out the car and looked at the popped tire. "Well shit" Sylvia mumbled. "Yeah shit!" sensei yelled. They went into the trunk to find the replacement tire and other tools. "Where the hell did LaRusso hide the lug wrench" sensei scoffs looking around. Robby opened a compartment and gave him the wrench. "I lived in here, remember?" Robby asked. "Of course I remember." Sensei said and took the wrench. "Wait. What when?" Sylvia asked following them

Sensei proceeded to tell a story about him and LaRusso fighting some guys that stole the car. "I know I haven't been there for you Robby, more times than I can count. But I've also failed Miguel. Hell I'm the reason he ran off in the first place. I'm out here trying to fix my mistakes. So I don't have to live with regret. If your serious about making things right, you can start by helping Miguel. I know you have your fair share of regrets when it comes to him." Sensei said.

He then proceeded to go call Carmen and left them to put the wheel on. "Hey my only regret is not kissing you earlier" Sylvia smirked and crouched down next to him. They both started laughing a bit. "Oh really?" Robby asked. Sylvia hummed in response. "Have you always had a crush on me?" Robby asked while taking off a bult. "Uhm, it was probably when you walked out of juvie. With your new haircut"

They drove to the spot sensei was talking about and he was talking to some dude. Sylvia leaned against the car door as Robby leans in and they share a kiss. It was perfect, like always. "all right, next bus leaves in a few hours." Sensei says walking up to them.

Robby took the money in his hand. "This'll buy you your ticket. This is for drinks and snacks." Sensei said and gave Robby 50 dollars. And then started walking away. "Where you going?" Sylvia asked. "Ticket guy thinks he saw Miguel talking to these surfers. I'm gonna go ask around" sensei said and walks away. "No don't leave I don't wanna be stuck in Mexico with him." Sylvia whined. "Don't worry I won't" Robby said and quickly got into a kiss again. She smiled into it.

She opened her eyes to see sensei kicking a guy to the ground. Sylvia quickly pulled out of the kiss and walked to the end of the car to get a better view. "What's wrong?" Robby asked. She saw the guy on the floor get up and holding a rope or something. Sylvia ran over and kicked him before he could do anything. "Would you look at that?" The guy sensei was arguing said with a Aussie accent.

Fighting with a bunch of old dudes was not an ideal plan but it was fun. "Beating ass in Mexico, fun story" Sylvia stretches her neck as they walked off.

Sylvia sat on top of the car hood with her legs dangling between Sensei and Robby. They were drinking the coke sensei got looking at the ocean. Also icing their face. "This trip was a disaster from the jump. You're right it was a mistake to bring you." Sensei said. "No it wasn't. Ok, I mean some of it was. Technically you kidnapped and transported a minor across the border." Robby shrugs. "Oh, that's one point of view" Sylvia snickers and took another sip.

"But we got a good story out of it." Robby adds. "Yeah we did. Your bus will be here soon. You should go. You should go with your boyfriend Sylvia" sensei eyes them. Clearly disapproving the relationship. "This is my mess to clean up." Sensei shakes his head. "You're right." Robby nods.

"But I'm gonna stay. You're trying to make things right. I wanna help you."

Sylvia smiles at Robby, what great things can happen when you quit Cobra Kai. "At least now we know where we're going. X marks the spot right?" Sylvia fishes out the map the surfer boy had. She stole it from him as he tried to tackle her. "All right." Johnny chuckles.

Robby is officially staying. They got into the car and started driving. It was pitch black night outside but still driving. "Sylvia you want one?" Robby asks pointing the cow candy bag to me. She took one and ate it. It wasn't that good but wasn't that bad for not eating all day. "You two should get some sleep" sensei said. "Yeah I agree" Sylvia nods and lied down since she always sat in the back. She sees Robby crawl his way to the back. And jump onto her. "Hey!" Sylvia laughs. "You're so heavy" she grunted and pushed him to the side.
