Jamie looks up as a knock is heard at her door, "Come in."

Amber pushes the door open with a small smile on her face, "Are you busy?"

"No, just on the phone with Sienna." Jamie says turning the phone to Amber

Sienna waves with a smile on her face, "Hi, Amber."

"Hey, honey." Amber smiles before looking back to Jamie, "I just needed to talk to you about something really quick."

"Okay." Jamie nods, "I gotta go, Sienna."

"Yeah, call me later."

"I will. Bye."

"Bye." Sienna sings before hanging up. Jamie sets her phone down as Amber sits on the edge of her bed, "What's up?"

"Well, there's two things I wanna bring up to you." Amber says as Jamie nods, "First, what happened at practice the other day?"

Jamie sighs, "How did you find out about that?"

"I saw Johnny when I was taking the trash out." Amber says as Jamie looks down, "What happened, Jamie?"

"I was just having a bad day." Jamie says, "Priscilla showed up and I exploded."

"Priscilla? The one you got in a fight with?"

"Fights." Jamie corrects, "And yes, her. She wants to join the dojo and Mr. LaRusso let her. I'd just rather not be around her."

"Well, Jamie if we're being honest, she poses no threat to you." Amber chuckles, "You've come this far in karate and you wanna quit because of her?"

"It's not that I wanna quit Mom, it's that I don't want to be around her." Jamie says, "I can be civil with Sam and Tory, but I can't do that with her. She drives me crazy."

Amber sighs, "I understand that at this point in your life, you'd rather protect your peace. But Jamie, you're about to leave the country to compete in a world tournament. That's bigger than anything you've ever done."

"So, I should just forget everything she's done and act buddy-buddy?"

"No, but you're not gonna let her ruin something that you've grown passionate about. If you do that, she wins in the end."

Jamie looks at her as Amber raises her brows, "You're right."

"I know."

"I should probably talk to Miguel." Jamie sighs, "What was the other thing you needed to talk about?"

Amber's face falls slowly before she lets out a sigh, "Your dad is going to be here in a few days with his wife to have dinner with us."

Jamie's eyes widen, "What?"
