VERONICA HASTILY speed-parks into the strip mall's parking lot. Quickly shutting the ignition and running into the convenience store. She bits on her bottom lip and she practically runs into the store, wanting to be in the store for less than she needs to be. She grabs two bottles of Gatorade, two Smart Waters, and pain killers from each fridge and shelf and rushes to pay. She's out of the store in a flash as she thinks she spots one of the kids from the dojo leave the store as she was cashing out her items.

As she stepped outside, she was greeted by the same kid, who, she thought correctly, was from the dojo. He hollered at an inebriated Johnny, and his face painting several levels of confusion and curiosity as he watched his Sensei piss on his new car and slam a glass bottle he somehow ended up with. "Uhhh, Sensei? Are you alright?" Burt asked as he stopped in front of the store's entrance. "We'Re aLL gONnA diE kiD!!" He yells twice in anger, shocking the kid as he pulls up the fly of his zipper. His presence goes unnoticed when Veronica reaches the scene. "Wh—? Babe, get in the car!" She gently coddles Johnny as she quickly leads him back in the car while he muttered nonsensical things that fall deaf to Bert's ears. Shoving the shopping bag into the back seat, Veronica started the car; the engine roaring to life like a lion as she pulled out and sped out of the parking lot, heading back home.

Immediately, she almost drags Johnny out of the car once she reaches their home base. Opening the door with more effort than usual, she brings Johnny to their shared bedroom. His body plops on the bed and she takes a breather; tying her long black hair with a scrunchie. A small reminder at the back of her mind suggests she cut her hair soon. It's been a while.

She looks back at her drunk boyfriend, already about to fall asleep under the spell of the pillows and blankets. She starts getting to work on his shoes; untying the shoelaces and removing his plaid shirt. Lastly, her hands work their way to his pants unbuttoning them with ease. She just has to find a swift way to get them off him now. When they aren't having sex, this was harder than she thought. "If you wanna get there, you gotta buy me dinner first." She heard him mutter drunkenly at the sound of his zipper going down. Veronica chuckled, turning around as she was able to get his pants off. "Do you think I'm a bad father, Veronica?" He asked as his hand sloppily poked at his girlfriend's cheek as she rested beside him. She smiled as she took his wrist and laid them down gently. "No. You're trying to mend ties and fix your mistakes, remember?" Veronica said with a soft smirk, leaning on her hand as her elbow laid softly on the pillow beside Johnny; even taking out her hair from the ponytail from earlier. He looked at her with a blank expression; his feelings from the previous moment fighting their way to remember the events of last night—that letter to Robby. "Yeah..." He slurred once more, his head now facing the ceiling in solemn. "Exactly. Forget LaRusso. You could still make that change and mend the past with Robby." Her soft voice assured as she got up from her position to straddle Johnny's hips and lean down towards his face. Her long hair covers the side of her face and drapes down to reach Johnny's head, as he is now surrounded by her long hair. She giggles at Johnny's reaction at her hair touching his face; the sound of an Angel's giggle reaches the drunk Sensei's ears. For a moment, everything that happened had subsided, and right now, he felt at comfort and bliss with Veronica at the moment. He wishes he could feel this 24/7.
