Halley Larusso had the perfect life, amazing friends, loving family, good grades and money, what else could she ask for? Well, that's easy to answer:
Nothing
(...cobrakai s1-?)

"He freaking proposed!" Sam jumped up from the bed, mouth agape, eyes widened and her arms in the air in almost a caricaturesque motion
"What? No!" Halley sat her back down shaking her head "Not a proposal, just a promise"
"You could've started with that, Halley" she rolled her eyes "My heart almost jumped out of my chest" Sam relaxed back into the bed "Now let me see" she extended her hand in direction of Halley's wanting to see the ring, Halley gladly complied, she'd been wanting to show that ring to everyone since it was put in her finger "It's beautiful"
"Right!?" Halley bounced in her place still giddy about the whole thing "I was worrying so much about everything and now it's like I can't remember what was the cause of it anymore"
"I'm so happy for you, Halls" Sam smiled up at her cousin "It's great things are falling into place for you"
"Thank you" Halley smiled back "You never did tell me about what happened with you and Miguel, tho" she swiftly changed the subject as she'd been ranting about every detail of her date the whole time since Sam arrived to her house and now it was turn for Sam to launch herself into how everything had gone and it was safe to say that both LaRussos were having great time, their partners were stable, they were graduating and going to the places they wanted and over all life was smiling in their directions after a few difficult years

For Johnny's fight they had decided to all wear the black and yellow Cobra Kai gis that he had picked for his fighters for his first All-Valley after he brought the dojo back. Halley had never seen herself like that and she'd be lying if she said she didn't like how she looked in it
"I never thought I'd see the day" Eli smirked looking at his girlfriend up and down "Halley LaRusso wearing a Cobra Kai gi" she rolled her eyes jokingly
"If you would have told me a year ago I'd be wearing this I would've never believed you"
"I think sensei LaRusso wouldn't have believed it either" he looked behind her to where Daniel was standing talking to Johnny
"Oh, he would've had a stroke at the thought" Halley laughed "I cannot believe so much has changed" she shook her head, her eyes scanning throught the arena, she saw the people, the other fighters and the big camaras televising the event to the whole world
"And I cannot believe that in less than an hour it will all be over" he sighed copying Halley's motion
"It still doesn't feel real" she sighed and her boyfriend stepped forward wrapping his arms over Halley's shoulders, her back against his chest as they waited for the beginning of the last fight of the tournament
♢♢♢
The air was thick with anticipation and the cheers of the crowd drowned every other emotion than pure excitement as all of the students Daniel and Johnny had trained stood there in support of the dojo that had flipped everyone's lives over. Both the sensei's stood in their positions on the mat looking at each other. They bowed to the referee and each other before falling into their stances.
Wolff was taunting Johnny, he was making him fight even when he had openings for a point, but he didn't resist for long a kick to the chest gave him his first point
"Shit" Halley cursed
"He's way off his game" Eli voiced what Halley was thinking. They all watched as once the fight resumed, Wolff was playing dirty and delivered a kick to the back of his head "What the hell was that?!"Halley raised her arms, frown deepening. They went back to fighting and Wolff just kept moving away from Johnny's attacks or covering them with surgeon like precision and then once again another dirty move, an elbow to the mouth
"That is bullshit!" Eli raged. The fight was stopped as Johnny was bleeding, they both went to their corners. Halley could hear the deject in Johnny's words as she spoke with Daniel and Chozen, he sounded like he'd already given up. They went back onto the mats, the fight resumed and Wolff came back swinging, within a couple of seconds he knocked Johnny to the ground with a kick making them all gasp. Daniel called a time out before the fight resumed
"Look, LaRusso, there's nothing you can say" Johnny sighed, shaking his head "This guy knows his shit. He's on a whole other level."
"What dojo are you fighting for?"
"What?" Daniel stepped up into the mat to be at the same height as Johnny
"What dojo are you fighting for?" He asked, tone firmer than Halley had ever heard it
"Cobra Kai"
"And does defeat exist in your dojo?" Halley started to smile slowly realizing what her uncle was doing "Does it?" he asked again once Johnny didn't answer quick enough
"No"Johnny was still breathless
"Does fear exist in your dojo?" a few of the other kids started to catch up on Daniel's usage of Johnny's own words to put him into place again, their smiles started to match Halley's
"No"
"And I sure as sh*t know that pain doesn't exist either. So stop acting like a little pussy. Get out there and kick the living shit out of this asshole." Jaws were dropped, no one ever thought they would hear Daniel utter those words but they seemed to work as Johnny's demeanor changed "You hear me?"
"Yes, Sensei" Johnny nodded, the cheers resumed
"Let's go, Johnny!"
"Kick his ass, Sensei!" the cheers from his students were the loudest of them all. This time it was Johnny that came back with a resolve and got his first point kickin Wolff in the chest making the arena erupt in cheers louder than it had been the whole day
"YES!"
"Hell yeah!"
"That's what I'm talking about!" the fight resumed and Johnny's defense was on point until Wolff delivered illegal contact with his knee to Johnny's back, there was a collective wince and gasp that spread though the whole place
"Dickhead" Halley shook her head. The fight resumed and it was Johnny once again that got the point. They all jumped and clapped for the blonde as the fight was tied. Daniel called time for the last time
"Any gas left in tank?" Chozen asked
"Enough to kick his ass" Johnny nodded
"I like that you have your confidence back" Daniel nodded "Remember what you learned at Miyagi-Do. Trust me, you have to have balance. Be careful. This guy is pissed"
"So am I" Johnny said as he turned around for the last bit of his fight
"He's got this" Halley nodded, her words more to herself than for those around her. The last round started, they watched as Wolff prepared his hit while Johnny took a step back and instead of going towards him, he let Wolff come to him and it paid off as Johnny managed to kick him to the ground allowing him to control the fight and it the end it was the blonde who got the last hit making him and Cobra Kai champions
"Point. Winner!" Cheers erupted in the arena one more time as all of the students jumped into the mat running towards Johnny, Miguel reaching him first the rest following suit as they jumped and hugged each other. The guys lifted Johnny in the air as they all chanted his name. They had made it, to the end and even if it was Cobra Kai's name as champions it had been under their own conditions and it had been the right people who'd won it
"Ladies and gentlemen" Gunther walked on the mat "I present the grand trophy to the winners of this year's Sekai Taikai. Now officially the world's number one dojo, Cobra Kai!"
