COCOA WAS AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE All Valley Tournament, with her friends, including, her boyfriend, Hawk.

Miguel was currently punching the air with anger, going again and again, Cocoa looked at him in concern.

“Yo, Miguel, calm down, man. Save some for the tournament.” Hawk called out after seeing the expression on Cocoa's face.

Miguel glared at Hawk before continuing to punch rapidly, Cocoa sighed as she looked at Miguel with concern and pity.

“Hey, don't even bother, he's been super aggro ever since the breakup.” Aisha said to both Cocoa and Hawk, Cocoa looked at her, nodding. “Where's Sensei? The tournament's gonna start soon.” Hawk said. “He'll be here.” Aisha said.

“I don't know about that.” Bert said, looking up at the trio, Cocoa narrowed her eyes.

She slowly crouched down, looking at the boy as her hands were on her knees. "Bert... what do you mean?” She asked softly.

“I saw him last night at the mini-mall, I was buying... a cartoon of milk,” Bert said, Cocoa scrunched her face up in confusion before listening again.

“When I heard him in the parking lot, yelling.” Bert explained, before telling the group what he said and his actions.

“Well, why didn't you tell us this earlier?!” Aisha said, Cocoa's eyes were wide as she stood up.

“I don't know! I guess I'm just so used to seeing him drunk, it didn't seem like that big of a deal.” Bert shrugged, trying to defend himself.

“Well, we're here and he's not, so it's a officially a big deal! What if something happened to him?” Hawk yelled at the boy, Cocoa put a hand on his chest, trying to get them to calm down. “Come on, leave him alone,” Cocoa spoke softly to Aisha and Hawk, giving them a glare.

“Like what?” Bert shrugged.

“I don't know, like he drove his car off a cliff, or he bought a gun and blew his brains out!” “Stop it! You're gonna scare him!” Cocoa yelled at Hawk.

“No, Sensei would never kill himself, that's too pussy of a move.” Aisha spoke up.

“Whatever, I mean... we're here, we're gonna have to do it without him.” Hawk said, Before Cocoa heard a familiar voice speak up.

“Do what without me?” Sensei Lawrence asked, Cocoa's head snapped to the side as she saw Sensei Lawrence, a relieved smile made it's way onto her lips as a relieved chuckle left her mouth.

“Sensei!” Aisha said.

“We didn't think you were gonna show up.” Hawk spoke, his hands in his pockets as he stood next to Cocoa.

“I may not always win, but I never back out of a fight.” Sensei said, Cocoa nodded, before Miguel finally spoke.

“All right, let's sign up.”

“Not yet.” Sensei said, before speaking up again. “There's one more lesson i have to teach you.” Sensei Lawrence said.

Cocoa stood in the middle next to Hawk and Miguel, her hands behind her back as she held them together, an innocent expression on her face as she waited for Sensei Lawrence to talk.
