The Cobras had gone over to the beach Sunday morning. Hawk, Amara, Demetri, and Moon were all playing Volleyball. It was Demetri and Amara’s serve.

“All right, let's go, Demeat.” Amara cheered.

Demetri winded up his arm in a circle and hit it the volleyball straight into the net. “Uh…” Demetri spoke. “Mulligan, send it back.”

“There's no mulligans in volleyball.” Hawk told him.

Demetri scoffed. “Says you.” He told Hawk as he walked over to his water bottle. Amara followed him over there. “Have you talked to him?” Demetri asked her quietly.

“No.” The blonde answered. She sighed. “But I got my answer. Xander and I are going out next weekend, and besides Hawk’s with Moon. He's happy with her.”

“Yeah.” Demetri said, as he grabbed Amara’s black Cobra Kai towel. “You'll figure something out. You always do.”

Amara looked down at the sand. She knew Demetri was right. Amara would figure something out. She always does. The blonde looked up to see Demetri rubbing his sweat on her towel.

“Hey, that's my towel.” She told him.

“Whatever.” Demetri continued to wipe his face off with Amara’s towel.

Two girls walked over and looked at the towel. “Cobra Kai?” The dark brunette girl questioned. “You guys won that karate tournament, right?”

“Um…” Demetri said, as he lowered the towel down. “The All Valley? The Rumble in Reseda?” He laid the towel across his shoulder and leaned ‘confidently’ on the post that the volleyball net was on. “We, uh… We certainly did.”

“Cool.” The brunette girl said. “We're gonna go for a swim, but maybe play with you later?”

“Pfft… Mos def.” Demetri spoke, trying to be cool. “Uh, that means ‘most definitely.’”

The girl giggled as her and her friend walked off. Hawk and Moon began to walk over.

“Look at you, player.” Moon said to him, laughing.

“It’d be nice if you earned the Cobra Kai cred you're so happy to take.” Hawk told him. “When are you ever gonna sign up?”

“I don't know.” Demetri said, “I'm kind of enjoying the gain without the pain.”

“Hawk.” Miguel called as he walked over to the group.

“Hey, there's the man.”

“What's up?” Miguel asked.

Amara noticed something was up with Miguel. “Miguel, what's wrong?” She asked him. Miguel glared over at the blonde and ignored her. Amara looked over at Demetri then back at the two boys.

“No.” Hawk told him. “No more of this. Look, it's a beautiful day out. The beach is packed with babes. No more sulking about Sam.”

“I'm not sulking about Sam.” Miguel spoke. “It's about Sensei.”

“Is this about his rap sheet?” Hawk asked. “My parents read it online. I think it makes him more badass.”

“It's about him and Robby Keene.”

Amara choked on her water. Once she finally pulled herself together she walked over to Miguel and Hawk. “What about Sensei and Robby Keene?” She asked.

“I'm pretty sure Robby Keene is Sensei’s son.” Miguel spoke. “There's a picture of him on Sensei’s fridge in his apartment.”

“Wait…” Hawk began, “Does that mean that Robby is your brother?” He asked Amara, standing next to him.
