Robby Keene 🎧 has added Tory🏆, Miguel 🐙, Sam 💗, Demetri 🖱, and Eli/Hawk 😎 to the group chat.

🐙: Hey, Robby 👋

🎧: Hey, Miguel. Glad you could make it

💗: Yeah, I'm surprised you were able to pull yourself away from your new girlfriend 😒

🐙: 😳

🎧: Tory, you here?

🏆: ...

🎧: I need to talk to you about something important

🏆: ...

😎: Desperate much?

🖱: At least, it's not as obvious as Miguel and Sam. No offense

🐙: 😕

🏆: I don't have anything to say to you, Robby

🏆: You made your decision clear when you decided to quit the dojo 😠

🎧: I wasn't trying to hurt you, Tory. I just needed to figure myself out

🏆: Then you answered your own problem 😒

😎: Five seconds in and there's already relationship issues to deal with

🖱: Wouldn't they have to be a couple for that to happen?

😎: Lol

🎧: Don't think any of us really needed that right now

😎: Doesn't mean we can't have a little fun 😉

💗: NOT THE TIME.

🖱: Noted. 🤐

😎: Just stating the facts 🤷‍♂️

💗: Do you wanna test me right now?!

🖱: Don't answer that, Eli!

💗: 🤨

😎: I'm just going to drop the subject, but only because I want to

🖱: Sure...

🎧: What happened between you and Sam during the party, Miguel?

🐙: Well, I got drunk and I kinda... kissed a girl

🖱: To be fair, he didn't know Sam was going to be coming

😎: 🤦‍♂️

🖱: I'm not really helping you here, am I?

🐙: Not particularly no 🙁

🎧: I'm sure he didn't mean to do that, Sam

🏆: That's sure different than how you felt last time when he got drunk

🎧: That's what I've been trying to tell you, I've changed, Tory

🏆: Good for you 😒

💗: Then why did you do it in the first place, Miguel?

🐙: Because I made a stupid mistake, and I'm honestly really sorry that I hurt you, but I thought you said that you just wanted to be friends?

💗: I did say that... and that IS what I want

🖱: Sounds like there's some skepticism within you, young padawan 😄

🎧: I'm really starting to regret inviting you two 😒

🖱: I get that a lot.

😎: 😏

🐙: It's okay, Sam. I understand what you mean

💗: Thank you

🐙: Whenever you're ready to talk about it, I'm here

💗: Okay

😎: Those look like good signs 😉

🖱: Does this mean that team Octopi is back on?

🎧: I think you both may be getting a little bit ahead of yourselves

😎: And what about you, lover boy?

🎧: What are you talking about?

😎: I'm talking about how Tory just happens to show up at your party, looking for someone's help...

🖱: 🤔

🏆: For your information, I wasn't looking for Robby

🖱: Who were you looking for then?

💗: She was looking for me

🐙: Is everything alright, Tory?

🏆: Don't make it like you actually care, Miguel

🐙: I've always cared about you, Tory

🖱: And the drama heightens 🤗

😎: Already got my popcorn 😉🍿

🖱: Jealous ☹

🏆: Can you guys be serious for one second!

🖱: Sorry, but being funny is my only actually entertaining trait 😄

😎: What did we talk about selling yourself short?

🖱: Not to do it?

😎: Exactly.

🏆: Great pep talk, guys 🙄

😎: Hey, not all of us can give Miguel level speeches

🖱: 😂

🐙: Thanks, everyone, but they're not THAT great

😎: No, they are that good!

🐙: Really?

🖱: 100% of the way, yes

💗: Yeah, the only one who even comes close to your level of speeches is just my dad and even he doesn't really compare

🐙: I never noticed...

🎧: Even I always knew they were great and I was on the opposing side!

🐙: Wow, I don't know what to say... thanks, everyone 😁

🖱: 👍

💗: Anytime

😎: Ah, now you have her swooning for you. Good job, Miguel

💗: He has me what?

🐙: No, that's not what I was trying to do...

🖱: This doesn't look good 😬

😎: I was just trying to help so, don't blame me 🤷‍♂️

💗: Don't worry, guys. I was just joking 😅

🎧: Lol

🐙: Oh, you were? Phew, I was honestly worried there for a second 😮

🖱: Me too, Buddy. Me too.

🏆: 🤨

🖱: What? It's your guys' fault for getting me so invested in your love lives!

😎: 🤣

🎧: If you needed someone's help, you could have come to me, Tory

😎: And round two begins...

🖱: I've come prepared this time, my friend 🛡

🏆: You weren't exactly helpful last time, Robby 😒

🎧: That's because you didn't tell me what was actually going on

🏆: So what, I'm supposed to just come out and tell that I need help?!

😎: She does not seem happy 🤔

🏆: I wonder what gave you that impression 🙄

🖱: Yeah, I'm just going to stay out of this one for now...

🏆: Wise choice ☠

🎧: Of course not, Tory, but you should know that you can always come to me

🎧: No matter what's going on in our lives

🐙: Aw! 😍

💗: Yeah, I guess they do make a good couple 😏

🖱: Just like you and Miguel... ☺️

💗: Seriously?!

🖱: Not the time? Got it 🤐

🏆: Well, thanks, Robby. That doesn't sound so bad...

🎧: No problem 😉

😎: So, what did you need Sam's help for anyway?

🖱: why would you ask that?! Everything was resolved!

😎: Because this was just too much fun to stop now 😏

🎧: You really do enjoy this too much...

😎: Well, Moon isn't here so, I need something to distract me from thinking about how beautiful she is

🖱: Now who's the dramatic one?

😎: Still you.

🖱: Yeah... 🤷‍♂️

🏆: I wanted to tell her the truth, like what I should have done from the beginning

😎: About what exactly?

🏆: I didn't actually win the tournament, Silver bribed the referee

🖱: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

😎: My thoughts exactly 😦

🎧: I'm so sorry, Tory

🏆: Whatever, I guess it's my fault for thinking I actually won something for once

🐙: If there's anything we can do for you then, just tell us

💗: Why are you taking her side?!

🐙: I'm not taking her side, Sam. I'm just trying to see the situation from both sides

🎧: Dad's right, you really are mature, Miguel

🐙: Someone has to take care of him 😉

🎧: Lol

💗: Then do you wanna explain yourself, Tory?

🏆: That's what I was trying to do from the beginning!

💗: Well, I'm sorry that after two years of fighting, I didn't immediately believe you 😒

🖱: Should we intervene?

😎: Not unless you wanna be a dead man, too

🖱: Fair enough.

🎧: I know you guys don't think you'll ever be friends, but trust me, a little perspective can completely change your point of view

🐙: Pretty sure I'm not the only wise one here 🙃

🎧: Thanks 😃

💗: Ok, so what's your opinion on Tory's side then, Miguel?

😎: Why not ask, Robby instead?

💗: Because we're trying to get another opinion without bias

😎: 👍

🐙: Well, I do agree that Tory's made some mistakes over the years, we all have, but it must have been pretty hard for her to admit to losing the tournament

🐙: And Cobra Kai, it gets into your head in ways that you really can't understand until you've had to go through it yourself

🏆: That was actually pretty accurate. Thanks, Miguel

🐙: 🙂

💗: I never looked at it like that before

🏆: I wouldn't expect you to with what I did to you

🖱: Did she just apologize?

🏆: Shut up, Demetri 😒

🖱: 😔

🏆: And what about Sam's side, Robby?

🎧: Every time she sees you, all she can think of is all the pain you've caused her

🏆: Is that true, LaRusso?

💗: Yeah, mostly

🏆: Well, I guess that makes sense. I'm sorry

💗: Well, thank you

🖱: See, I knew you two could make up. I mean, Miguel and Robby did, after all

😎: 🤣

🏆: Yeah, how'd that happen?

🎧: Long story.

🐙: Consisting mostly of Sensei forcing us to fight one another

😎: Seriously?! Why wasn't I there?

🎧: Yeah... it was mostly a family specific thing

😎: Still 😒

💗: 😅

🐙: I think it might be time for us to get going

💗: Yeah, we need to go talk to Stingray before Silver hurts anyone else

🎧: Sounds good, there's just one thing I have to do first

😎: 👍

🏆: This wasn't awful, everyone

🖱: Aw, that's the nicest thing she's ever said to me! 😁

🏆: Don't get used to it

😎: Pretty sure it's too late for that 🤣

🖱: Eli is right, my hopes' are already up 😊

🏆: 🙄

🐙: Bye, everyone

🎧: Bye, guys 👋
