Demetri was sitting next to Arianna to try and process what Hawk said. While Hawk kept playing his little computer game. "You can't quit." Demetri said. Well, he actually could since everyone had free will. "Well, he has free will." Arianna nodded her head.

"I already told you, I made up my mind." Hawk said softly. Demetri sat up. "Hey, you're the one who got me into karate, remember? I mean, I was perfectly fine playing dungeon lord after school but you put me in a situation where I had to join a dojo." Demetri pointed at Hawk.

"And you know what? It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I got stronger, gained confidence, got the girl of my dreams..." Demetri explained. "Well, who knew karate could do that for somebody?" Arianna asked, trying to lighten the mood.

"I'm actually excited for the All Valley tournament. I never thought I'd say that." Demetri mumbled. "But it's not gonna be as exciting if you're not there." Demetri explained. Only resulting in Hawk ignoring him. Arianna sighed and looked at Demetri, who leaned back on the couch trying to think.

"Okay, you're going to make me do this." Demetri said as he pulled his phone out of his pocket. He got up and sat between Hawk and Arianna, closing Hawk's computer. "You said you deleted these." Hawk told Demetri as he looked at his phone screen. "Oh, I say a lot of things. Which tends to be a polarizing attribute of mine." Demetri said, as Arianna peaked over his shoulder to see his phone screen. It was a video of Demetri and Eli called Binary Brothers. Arianna found the video cute but hilarious.

"Why are you showing me these?" Hawk sighed. "Because this is who you are." Demetri said proudly.

"A loser?" Hawk raised his eyebrow. "No, a comedic genius." Arianna said, giggling. Not trying to make fun of Hawk, just, once again, trying to lighten the mood.

"No, my best friend." Demetri said. "I know you think that the mohawk defined who you are, but it didn't. Not to me." Demetri explained. "A haircut doesn't define you, you're actions and what you choose to do define you." Arianna added. "Eli, Hawk...hell, call yourself Cornelius for all I care. None of that changes the fact that you're my Binary Brother." Demetri told Eli. "Whether you're number 1 or a 0."

Arianna looked around the room. "Hey, we should have a sleepover here sometime." Arianna said. Demetri and Eli both looked at Arianna with confused expressions. "What?" Arianna asked.

"What are you talking about?" Hawk asked.

"We should have a sleepover. You don't know what a sleep over is?" Arianna asked. "We know what a sleepover is. But you're a bit off topic." Demetri explained. "Why would we have a sleepover?" Hawk asked.

"Why not?" Arianna asked with a smile on her face.

Arianna and Alexander were getting scanned by the body guards at school. Arianna noticed that people were talking about the girl in front of her. "It's her." A girl said. For some reason, Arianna had a feeling that the girl was Tory. And she was probably right, because she saw Sam talking to her and she did not look happy. 

Arianna turned to Alexander. "So, you have not yet told me who the girl you like is." Arianna told him. Alexander raised his eyebrow. "Why would I tell you?" He asked as he grabbed his backpack. Arianna was not the person anyone should go to for dating advice. "Because I have the social skills that you don't. Besides, if you talked to her you would probably sound like a spoiled brat. Which you are." Arianna reminded Alexander, while putting on her backpack which looked similar to a Randoseru, a Japanese backpack.

"I don't plan on talking to her." Alexander explained, as he and his sister began walking. "And you were making fun of me for not talking to Axel. You and I are on the same boat." Arianna sighed. "I guess we are." Alexander said. He and Arianna passed by Sam and Tory. 

"Hey, Sam. You coming?" Alexander asked. Usually, Arianna, Alexander, Sam, and sometimes Miguel, would hang out at one of their lockers and it was Alexander's excuse to not hang out with his annoying friends. Sam turned to look at the siblings. "One second," She said, before turning back to Tory. Alexander and Arianna shared a confused look, "Who is she?" Alexander asked Arianna. "I'm not sure." Arianna responded. 

Sam began walking towards them. "Hey, how are you guys?" Sam asked. 

"Good, I suppose." Arianna smiled, as the three of them began walking. "Who was that girl?" Alexander asked. 

"Tory." Sam responded. "Who's Tory?" Alexander had a confused expression on his face.

"My karate rival." 

"Well, if there's one thing I know, it's that rivalries don't last forever." Alexander explained. "Yes, there's definitely only one thing you know." Arianna said while laughing, Alexander wasn't the brightest person. "I'm being serious!" Alexander said in an exasperated tone, "Holding grudges for a long time is one of the biggest mistakes someone can make." Alexander told Sam, trying to give her advice. And well, that he did know.

"So will you join me in this fight to stop Cobra Kai?" Daniel asked Cat after explaining the whole story to her. 

Cat chuckled, "No, Daniel." 

"What?" Daniel asked, a confused look appearing on his face.

"Do you realize how insane you sound?" Cat asked, a confused expression on her face. "All this nonsense about the Miyagi-Do way, and only one right way of karate. Karate is karate no matter how it is taught, and that will never change." Cat explained, an angry look began to form on Daniel's face. "Maybe the reason you haven't defeated Cobra Kai yet is the fact that you're so stuck on this defense only nonsense. Do you think I became a 4-time world champion by using defense only?" Cat asked, trying to get common sense into Daniel's head.

"Oh, I should've known. You're still the same old Catherine, and you will never change. It was a mistake asking you for help!" Daniel shouted, as he began to walk away.

Cat laughed, "You really think you can win, don't you?"

"What did you say?" Daniel said, while turning around to face Cat.

"I said, you really think you can win, don't you? When are you going to realize that this dumb little war over a karate kids tournament started because of you?" Cat asked. "You can't accept the fact that you're wrong. And you cannot even get over something that happened in high school. Rivalries shouldn't last forever, Daniel. Remember that." Cat explained. "Accept the fact that you will not win this tournament, unless you start teaching your students offense."

"You know what? I am going to win. And I'm going to prove you wrong." Daniel told Cat, as he pointed at her. Cat moved Daniel's finger away from her face while giving him a weird look. "Sure you will." Cat said sarcastically, a smile appearing on her face.
