Arianna was at her locker waiting for Sam. She had met Sam's friends, Demetri, Hawk, Miguel, and a few others from Miyagi-Do. Sam was walking towards her with a frustrated look on her face. "Hey, what's wrong?" Arianna asked Sam, as she walked towards her.

"Nothing." Sam said, even though she was clearly in a bad mood. Arianna placed her hands on Sam's shoulders, "You can tell me, Sam. It won't hurt to open up." Arianna said as she removed her hands from Sam's shoulders. She knew that Sam shouldn't stay frustrated, because she knew that anger wasn't really a good thing. "This girl named Tory, basically she's rival, she went to my house and told my mom some sob story so that she could come back to school." Sam explained as she and Arianna began walking to class. "And everyone just expects me okay with it. She was literally the one who started the Karate fight at school." Sam said looking up at Arianna for advice.

"I would usually say to be nice and show them kindness. But I'm not going to say that to you, I think for now, you should just protect your peace." Arianna explained. Whenever someone was mean or didn't like her, she would just be nice to them even if they weren't. Because it literally costed nothing to do that, besides she had more important things to do than have a rivalry with someone. "Avoid her, and she'll avoid you as well. Just forget about her, and soon you both won't even care about each other anymore."

"I really hope you're right." Sam sighed. "I just want this whole thing to be over. So that everything can go back to normal."

About two hours later, Arianna and Maeve were part of the makeup crew of a school play. Arianna was finishing Nina Rosewood's makeup, who was the main lead in the play. Nina was outgoing, but shy, and nice, she was also more on the nerdy side. Maeve was looking at Axel and Arianna's messages from the other night and trying to give Arianna advice.

"Pretty good? Without me?" Maeve quoted Arianna. "Was that your way of trying to flirt?"

"No, I was just getting a little offended." Arianna explained, as she applied blush to Nina's face. Her makeup look was fairly simple, a tiny bit of eyeliner, no bronze or contour, not a lot of blush, concealer, foundation, and a little bit of highlight, and a tiny bit of baby pink eyeshadow . Maeve sighed, "I can understand why you've never confessed your feelings to him. This conversation was so awkward."

"Well, I would never actually say that to him, or to anyone, honestly. But I didn't mean to send that message, so I didn't know what to talk about." Arianna explained, she said as she sprayed Nina's face with setting spray.

Maeve exhaled loudly, "I don't understand how you could love someone for that many years without making a move." Maeve said as Arianna opened the drawer of the vanity to pick a lipstick color. She chose a nude pink color lipstick, and a clear lip gloss to go with it. "I don't know, I just never been able to get over him." Arianna explained as she began putting the lipstick on Nina's lips.

"You must really love him then." Maeve smiled. "I'm afraid, I do. I've never liked anyone else ever since I have met him." Arianna explained, adding the clear lip gloss to Nina's lips. Maeve sighed, leaning her head on her hand, her elbow was resting on the table that she was sitting down at. "I wish I met someone like that."

"Me too." Nina joined the conversation. "I guess were both hopeless romantics." Maeve said. Arianna smiled, looking at Nina's finished makeup. Nina looked in the mirror and smiled, pleased with her makeup look.

Arianna had agreed to go with Demetri to Hawk's house and help him convince him to join Miyagi-Do because Demetri didn't really have a chance of winning. Arianna had made Hawk a gift basket and bought a "get well soon" card for him. Honestly, when she heard about what those Cobra Kai idiots had done to Hawk, she felt really bad for him. So, she wanted to make him feel better.

Demetri and Arianna appeared in the stairs which led to the basement of the house. Hawk was sitting on the couch, playing a computer game when he noticed them. "Where the hell have you been?" Demetri asked.

"Demetri, how did you guys even get in here?" Hawk asked. "Uh, you mom has left the key under the gnome since kindergarten." Demetri reminded Hawk, while holding the key up in his hand. Arianna was carrying the gift basket in her arms, she placed it on the small coffee table. While Demetri threw the key at Hawk. "You should really think about increasing the security given, you know, the karate war." Demetri outstretched his hands. Arianna sat down on the couch and waited for Demetri to finish his speech.

"I brought you a gift basket," Arianna told Hawk pointing to the basket, then she grabbed the "get well soon" card and handed it to Hawk. "This is a get well soon card for you." Arianna gave Hawk a sweet smile. Hawk gave Arianna a confused look but still took the card from her. "Oh, and I brought you rose water macaroons instead of eating them. Consider yourself special because I don't share those very often." Arianna smiled, Hawk gave her a slight smile.

"That's...that's not important right now." Demetri said, continuing to pace in front of Hawk and Arianna.

"What's so important?" Hawk asked Demetri.

"Didn't you hear? The All Valley has separate gender devisions!" Demetri explained. "I mean, do I look like Miyagi-Do's best hope at defeating Robby Keene?" Demetri asked. "No." Arianna nodded her head, understandingly. "I mean, Mr. LaRusso says anyone can be the hero, but I'm not batman."

"I'm more like Alfred. You're batman." Demetri pointed at Hawk. "Oh right, I forgot, you're not a DC guy. Whatever. Forget batman, you're the Hawk." Demetri said, still pacing around.

"Yeah, not anymore." Hawk said as he removed his cap. "Hey, at least it looks better than the last time I saw it." Demetri said, trying to make things better. 

"Everyone at school knows what happened. It's embarrassing." Hawk explained.

"Who cares what they think? I mean the world is too big to care about what some kids at school think." Arianna said, trying to make Hawk feel better. "Exactly. Besides, it will grow back." Demetri added.  "It doesn't matter. I ruined my reputation, talked big game, and just proved I was an asshole." Hawk said. "To Moon, to Miguel, and especially you." Hawk said he looked up at Demetri. "I got what I deserved"

Arianna shook her head, Hawk didn't deserve that. "Hey, I forgave you, remember?" Demetri said. "And I don't care if you have a mohawk, or a mullet, or pigtails. Miyagi-Do needs you." Demetri explained.

"I'm not going back to Miyagi-Do." Hawk said. "Well, that's just great. You're choosing eagle fang over your best friend." Demetri sighed. "I'm not going back to eagle fang either! Alright?" Hawk said. "I- I'm done with karate, man. I quit." 

Demetri and Arianna shared a confused look. Well now, Demetri really was screwed.
