Dedicated to all the amazingly excellent people who've followed me on this writing journey so far :)

Miguel Diaz 🐙 has added Sensei Lawrence 💥, Mom 👼, Sam 💖, Hawk/Eli 😎, Demetri 🖱, Sensei LaRusso 🥋, Robby 🎧, Anthony 🎮, and Tory 🏆 to the group chat.

💖: Hi, everyone! 👋

🐙: Hey, guys! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

🎧: Right back at you 😉

👼: Aw, they're so sweet together when they're not arguing

💥: Yep. And to think, I singularly put that thing together, smiling dude

👼: ?

🥋: I think that you mean that you helped push the two kids together. Not did the entire thing by yourself?

💥: Meh, mostly the same thing, shrugging guy

🥋: 🤦‍♂️

👼: Either way, I appreciate the kindness, boys

🐙: Mom, please don't call us sweet

😎: Yeah, it really damages our street cred

🎧: I thought Mrs. Diaz was only talking about Miguel and I?

😎: Yeah, but being friends with a mommy's boy is mostly the same thing

🐙: 🤨

😎: Yes, yes, I know. Be nicer

😎: Just a lot easier said than done. Sorry

💥: Agreed, Hawk. Agreed.

💖: We completely understand, Eli

😎: 😀👍

🖱: Just to be clear, you meant all of your street reputations right? Because I'd honestly be lucky just to have a reputation of any sort in the first place

🎮: Lol

🏆: Trust me, that's not true.

😎: Yeah, Tory's right. Though, I like to think I still have a pretty decent one right now 😏

🖱: Better than mine, my dear friend 🤭

💖: Eh, hindsight's fifty fifty 😉

😎: 😒

💥: Laughing out face thingy

🎧: Just why, dad? Why?

🥋: Because every dojo has to have a cool Sensei and an outdated one 🤗

🎮: 🤣

💥: Agreed.

💥: But just to be clear, I'm the cool Sensei, LaRusso. Sunglasses dude

🥋: Hahaha... sure if that's what you wanna believe 😒

🖱: Ooh, now this is really starting to become exciting! 😄🍿

🏆: Again with the stupid popcorn emoji 🙄

🎧: It's honestly the only one he likes using 😉

🖱: You're not hearing any complaints from me 😁

🐙: Lol

😎: C'mon guys, you know we all like it when the Senseis fight. It keeps things interesting

💖: That's one way to put it...

🏆: Lol

🎧: So, what'd you need to talk to us about, Miguel?

🐙: Oh, I just wanted to see if any of you wanted to talk about your families' Thanksgiving traditions?

🥋: That sounds like a great idea, Miguel

🐙: Thanks, Mr. LaRusso 😁

🥋: For a kid like you, anytime, Miguel

🐙: 😊

💖: See, he really does get sweeter everyday

🖱: Yes, we are quite blessed to have a friend as good as Miguel Diaz

😎: I don't know whether to laugh or agree... 🤔

🎧: I think both reactions would fit well 😂

👼: Oh, Robby, that's very nice ❤

🎧: Well, I have to at least try to be the favorite son every once and awhile 😉

👼: 😅

💥: You both will always be my favorites. You know that right, Robby?

🐙: That's what you think...

🎧: Yeah, that's what all parents think until it's too late 😈

💥: Um...

🎧: We're just joking, dad 😏

🐙: Yeah, we know that you care about us both and we're okay with that now 😊

💥: Phew. You guys really gotta stop doing that to me. Relieved face

🥋: Lol

💖: Aw, people can really change

🏆: Yep, even your worst enemies can turn out to be sweet... sometimes 😏

😎: Did you just say... that Sam was sweet?

🖱: Those words are such a foreign concept to Cobra Kai, or people in general, but here she is, just saying such a noteworthy comment 😯

😎: A true revolutionary.

🏆: And you wonder why I'm never nice to you people 🙄

💖: Lol

🎧: All jokes aside, you can actually be pretty sweet, Tory ❤

🏆: Yeah, you're not too bad either, Keene ❤

💥: Young love, the sweetest and grossest thing you'll ever have, thought bubble

🥋: Took the words right out of my mouth, Johnny 😂

🎮: So, what Thanksgiving thing were we doing?

🖱: Telling tales of our most wonderful traditions with our fellow scholars and family

🎮: Oh, well when you put it like that...

🏆: Lol

😎: You know what? I really do think you might have a chance at being the third Binary Brother, young padawan

🎮: I try 🤷‍♂️

💥: How bout you go first, LaRusso?

🥋: Sure, thanks, Johnny 🙂

💥: Thumbs up thingy

🎧: Ugh... the embarrassment is never gonna end, is it?

💥: No, no it will not, winky man

🥋: Trust me, the same goes for my kids 😃

🎮: Unfortunately, I can attest to that

💖: Agreed 🤦‍♀️

🎧: Lol

🐙: That was really nice of you though, Sensei

💥: Yeah, well it is the day of giving

👼: That's a great way to look at it, Johnny 🥰

🎧: Wait for it...

💥: Plus, you know, then it allows me to see what LaRusso does so, I can say something better, smirking dude

🎧: And there it is 🤦‍♂️

🐙: New year, same Sensei 😅

💥: Always.

🥋: You know that I can see all of this, right Johnny?

💥: Um... no you can't.

🥋: Just because you say it doesn't make it true 😒

💥: Pretty sure that's what facts are, LaRusso

💖: Just stop, dad. It's really not worth it

🥋: I know, sweetie 😕

😎: Let's get on with these traditions before Moon calls me back for another charity soup kitchen, please

🖱: Lol

💖: Yeah, sounds like Moon 😁

🥋: Amanda and I have always tried to give our kids a classic Thanksgiving where we sit around the table and each say what we're thankful for ❤

🎧: That sounds really sweet, Mr. LaRusso

🥋: We try to do everything to make our kids happy, even if it's not always perfect

💖: It is to us

🎮: Yeah, you and mom do a pretty good job at keeping things calm, dad

🥋: You can't possibly know how much that means to me 💛

🐙: Aw, you guys are all so sweet!

👼: Completely agree 😀

💖: Anyone else missing mom right now?

🎮: Yeah, where is she anyway?

🥋: Currently occupied with taking to my mom about dinner 😉

💖: Oh wow, then she really does need our help

🎮: Yeah, like right now 🔜

😎: Lol

🥋: Ok, looks like we're off then...

🎮: Bye, guys 👋

🖱: Catch you on flip side mini brother 😄

😎: Really?

🖱: What? It's the best I could come up with on short notice. Not all my jokes just pop into my mind, just the self-deprecating ones 😉

🐙: 😅

💖: Bye, everyone. Thanks for the great idea, Miguel 😘

🐙: No problem, Sam. See you tomorrow 😍

💥: Yeah, happy Thanksgiving, LaRusso... Daniel

🥋: You too, Johnny 😏

Daniel 🥋, Sam 💖, and Anthony 🎮 LaRusso have left the group chat.

👼: Would anyone else like to share?

😎: I'll go real quick

🐙: 😁👍

😎: Demetri and I always play this super complex roleplaying game with our moms.

🖱: And somehow, they always win

👼: Mom's intuition probably 😉

💥: Laughing dude

🏆: That's not a half bad tradition, Hawk

😎: Yeah, thanks 😀

🖱: Um... I think Moon's calling you again, Eli

😎: Ugh... okay, bye guys 👋

🐙: Anytime, Eli. Thanks for coming, bro 👊

😎: Always, man

🖱: Yeah, my schedule's always open, too 😁

🎧: Lol

😎: Bye everyone

Hawk/Eli 😎 and Demetri🖱 have left the group chat.

🏆: Well, I guess it's my turn to go then 🔚

🎧: Yeah, but you know, there's always room at our house for a plus two, if you wanna bring your brother and come over to our apartment?

🏆: Are you joking?

💥: Of course he's not joking. Who would do that?

🐙: 🤨

💥: Okay... fine. Who would do that, other than me?

🐙: 👍

🏆: Is that alright with you, Mrs. Diaz?

👼: Of course, Tory 😊

🏆: Well then, I guess you'll see me over there in thirty minutes

💥: 👍

🏆: Thanks, Robby. It means a lot to me ❤

🎧: No probelm, Tory. I know what it feels like to be lonely sometimes. Plus, you're practically family, anyway ❤

🏆: Yeah, same.

🏆: K, I'll see you guys soon 👋

Tory Nichols🏆 has left the group chat.

💥: Guess that just leaves the fam, then

👼: I guess so 😊

🐙: Honestly, I just wanna thank all of you for showing up, today. I'm really thankful to have all of you in my life

🎧: Yeah, I feel the exact same way about you guys, Miguel

👼: Thank you, boys

💥: That literally means the world to me, heart shaped emotion

🐙: I think it's time for us to get the party setup, mom

👼: Yes, I think you're right, Miggy

🎧: Ok, but only if we get to help you both?

💥: Yeah, but count me in on the eating part, too. Winking guy

🐙: Sounds good 😁

👼: Happy Thanksgiving everyone 💗

🐙: Happy Thanksgiving ❤

🎧: Yeah, happy Thanksgiving 💙

💥: Took the words right outta my mouth heart thingy
