"All right, no offense, but I have no idea how you pulled that off." Hawk says as he wraps his arm around Demetri

"Me either." Jamie says as she walks up beside them

"Neither do I." Demetri says dazed as he watches Yasmine and Moon walk away, "I guess I was just myself, and somehow that worked." He shrugs, "What about you and Sienna? Did I detect the start of something at the drive-in?"

"I don't know." Hawk shrugs, "I guess we're just getting used to being around each other. Besides, she hasn't said much about a relationship, so.."

Jamie furrows her brows as she chuckles, "Huh? She's been talking about a relationship for weeks."

Hawk stands there bewildered as Demetri and Jamie walk off. He hurries to follow behind them, "Weeks? One week, five weeks? How many weeks is weeks?"

Demetri shrugs as Hawk looks over at him. Jamie stops as they approach Miguel. Not only Miguel, but Sam standing too close for comfort. He leans off of the locker to walk toward the three. Standing close to Jamie which causes a scowl to overtake Sam's face.

"Yo. You guys won't believe this. Sensei got drunk and went on a Twitter rant." He says as he hands Demetri the phone.

"I believe everything except for the part where he knows how to tweet." Demetri says

"Looks like he and Sensei LaRusso are gonna have a rematch."

"Wait, so, they're really gonna fight?" Hawk says

"Apparently. Should've seen this coming." Sam sighs

"Who does he even think he's tweeting to?  You're his only follower." Jamie says

"I don't know. He seems serious about it." Miguel says

"So this is real? Sensei and Sensei are gonna throw down?" Hawk says with some excitement

"Mm-hm."

"That's awesome!"

Jamie raises her brows as Demetri hands Miguel his phone.

Miguel and Jamie walk towards their apartment complex with an awkward silence falling upon them. They haven't really spoken since the Saturday night they spent at the drive-in. Miguel was scared that he upset Jamie.

"So, how was your day?" Miguel says carefully

"It was okay." Jamie says simply, "What about you?"

"Oh, uh, it was good." He nods

Jamie nods back at him before another moment of silence falls over them. Miguel flexing and wringing his hands together as he looks over at Jamie who had yet to look at him.

"I'm sorry." He blurts out. Jamie stops before she turns to him.

"What?"

"I'm sorry for Saturday. I didn't mean to make you upset."

Jamie chuckles, "Oh, Saturday. Yeah, it's fine."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I was just upset at the fact that we always spend so much time and energy on Cobra Kai. I just wanted to spend time with my friends and my boyfriend." Miguel smiles at the label, "Even if Sam was there."

He chuckles, "I really thought you were mad at me."

"No. I mean, I was for like a second." She says, "But not anymore. I'm over it."

"Okay." Miguel says sighing in relief

Jamie laughs before she leans up to kiss him. He smiles as she pulls away. Jamie turns and pulls the door open as they enter the complex. Her steps slow as she sees Johnny practicing different karate moves. The two watch in confusion as they walk closer.

Johnny turns to perform another move before he notices the two, "Oh, hey. Good timing. Think I've got a counter to LaRusso's bread-and-butter. Watch this."

Miguel goes closer, but Jamie is too confused to even move from her place.

"I make like I'm gonna walk into it again. At the last second, I slip under, shoulder check him in the balls, take him to the mat, elbow, elbow, elbow." He says as he pats his elbow, "Point. Lawrence, winner."

"Got ya." Miguel nods

"All right. Here, you be him," Johnny says patting Miguel's shoulders, "so I can try this at game speed." Johnny backs up as he waits for Miguel to get in position. When he doesn't Johnny straightens up, "Gonna help me win or what?"

"Honestly, I wish you weren't fighting at all."

"Yeah. Well, too bad, 'cause it's go time. You'll thank me when we're done with the kata crap and I can prepare you for an actual fight."

"So if you win, they just train Eagle Fang. There's no Miyagi-Do?" Jamie says

"You got it, sunshine."

"But what if I... don't want to stop learning Miyagi-Do?" Miguel says

"What the hell are you saying?" Johnny says stepping forward, "You want him to win?"

"No. I... Well, I guess the way I see it, no matter who wins, nobody wins."

"Somebody always wins. That's how fights work. All right? No matter what ancient philosophical bullshit LaRusso's been feeding you."

Miguel scoffs, "Okay, Sensei. Well, good luck."

Johnny watches as Miguel walks toward Jamie to give her a kiss on her cheek before walking to his apartment. He looks to Jamie whose eyes hold sympathy before she walks off to her own apartment.

Jamie sat up against her headboard as Sienna laid across the end of her bed. Jamie finishing her homework and Sienna waiting for her to finish so she can copy it.

"You know Hawk thinks you don't want a boyfriend?"

Sienna sits up quickly, "What?"

"Yeah, he thinks you don't want one."

"What? I always talk about wanting one."

"I know."

"So, this whole time I've been waiting for him to make a move and he hasn't because he thinks I don't want him to?"

"Yup." Jamie nods

"Jamie." Sienna exclaims as she stands up

"Sienna."

"I could've had a boyfriend this whole time." She says as she starts pacing

"Sienna, you're pacing." Jamie laughs

"I know, Jamie." Sienna yells, "I don't know why."

Jamie looks amused as she watches Sienna ramble on, "Sienna, if you like Hawk that's okay."

"I've never waited and hoped for a guy to ask me out, you know?" Sienna says, "I've kinda just waited for it to happen and if it did then it did, but if it didn't then I couldn't have cared less. With Eli it's like torture for me to sit and wait for him to ask me to be his girlfriend. It's like all I'm waiting for."

Jamie's face softens, "Sienna, do you love Eli?"

Sienna stops. Her eyes widen as she looks up to Jamie, "Oh my god." Jamie smiles as Sienna runs her hand through her hair before sitting by Jamie, "Oh my god, I love Eli. That's never happened before."

"I know. Maybe because all of the boyfriends you have are garbage."

"You have no room to talk. Miguel is literally your first boyfriend."

"Yeah because I live vicariously through you."

"Do you think he-"

"Yes, Sienna he loves you."

"Are you sure? Because that'll be very embarrassing if I tell him and he doesn't."

"I am absolutely sure that he loves you Sienna. You're blind if you don't think he does."

Sienna sighs as she lays her head on Jamie's shoulder, "Actually caring about boys is torture."

Jamie lays her head on Sienna's as she pats her hand.
