Robby has been doing a lot of work for Mr. LaRusso. Waxing cars, putting up the flag, putting the car on a jack stand, washing the windows, sweep. And Mr. LaRusso continued to show him a different way to do the stuff. Hannah thought this was weird. He even showed Robby how to correctly staple something.

"Okay, what the hell is going on?" Hannah asked Robby as he was waxing the car beside her. "Why is Mr. LaRusso correcting you on waxing the cars, and sweeping, and all of this stuff?"

"He's teaching me karate."

"This is his way of teaching you karate? Doing his chores?" Hannah was so confused.

"Hey I'm confused too but if we both learn, Dad will want to take action." Robby said.

"Robby, I told you I didn't want to learn karate. It's not right. I know you want to get back at Dad, but I don't."

"Okay, fine. I understand. You've always been Dad's pride and joy anyway." Robby sighed. "Come on, let's go tell Mr. LaRusso we're finished."

The twins walked over to Mr. and Mrs LaRusso. "Hey, Mr. LaRusso, uh...we're all done." Robby told him.

"Really?" Mr. LaRusso questioned the twins. "Both lots?"

"Seriously?" Hannah sighed. "You never said you wanted both lots." She grabbed a couple of cloths from Robby. "Come on." She said, as she walked towards the lot.

"This is bullshit." Robby spoke, looking at the lot. "I thought you were gonna teach me karate. I'm just doing all your shitty chores." He followed behind Hannah and they began to wax the cars.

That afternoon Robby went to Mr. LaRusso's house while Hannah was at the dojo.

"Junbi!" Johnny shouted. "Bow." All of the students bowed to their Sensei. "Fighting positions."

Each student had a different fighting position. Johnny walked in-between Hawk and Hannah. He kicked Hawk's from leg out more. "Stabilize your base, Hawk. Keep your balance. Full rotation when you strike." He showed Hawk exactly what he meant.

"Yes, Sensei." Hawk said as he did a jab punch. "Hai!"

Johnny looked over at Hannah. "Hannah." Hannah looked at him and stood straight up dripping her fists. "Get your fists up higher."

"Yes, sensei." She said, as she got back into her fighting position but this time with her fists higher.

"Better." Johnny told her. "You look like a real fighter now."

Hannah grinned. Johnny took a step to the back and one of the kids flinched. "Did you just flinch, Virgin?" He took another step to another kid and he flinched too. "Holy shit. We got a room full of flinchers."

"Yes, Sensei!" The students exclaimed.

"That was not a question! Raise your hand if you've never been punched in the face." Everyone raised their hands except for Hannah, Miguel, and Aisha. Hannah and Robby used to fight a lot when they were little and he would always throw the first punch. "Put your hands down. All your lives, you've been avoiding fights so you don't break your nose or lose a tooth. This concussion nonsense. So there's only one solution, and that is before you leave this dojo, each and every one of you is gonna take a punch, very hard, to the face."

Hawk looked over at Hannah worried.

"Miss Robinson, line 'em up." Johnny told her. "Unflinch this group."

Aisha hesitated. "Yes, Sensei." She looked over at Miguel for reassurance. Miguel nodded.

Hannah made her way over to her dad in his office. "Hey, Dad, can I talk to you?"
