"Are you guys lifting? Because I feel like I'm doing nothing here." Demetri breathed out as he, Sonny, Sam and Robby tried to fix up Miyagi-Do after Cobra Kai destroyed the place.

Sonny sighed, pushing her sunglasses up higher to cover her black eye. "Forget it, all right. It's too heavy." Robby nodded, pointing at Sonny in agreement. "Yeah, we're gonna need a forklift or something."

"How did they even knock it over?" Sam asked and Sonny shrugged.

"It's a lot easier to knock something down than it is to lift it up." Daniel said, fixing the plants by the bridge. Sonny pulled her lips into a line at his words, leaning towards Demetri. "That sounded like an inspirational quote."

"Don't worry. We'll get it up again." Daniel said again, not hearing Sonny's words.

"Uh... Excuse me. Is this Miyagi-Do?"

Sonny froze at the voice, her eyes going wide as Robby left his spot beside her, marching towards Chris. "Come back for another beating?"

"Hey, Robby. Robby!" Daniel screamed, running after him. "This is one of the guys who was beating on Demetri and Sonny. Gave Sonny her black eye! Probably helped trash the dojo." Robby screamed, pointing back at Demetri and Sonny who were now watching the scene play out.

"We didn't have anything to do with that. But I am sorry about what happened at the mall." Chris said, his eyes going to Sonny at his last sentence before turning back to Daniel. "We just wanna learn Miyagi-Do karate."

"I'd be careful about this, Mr. L, letting the Cobra Kais into Miyagi-Do. It's like letting the wildlings behind the Wall." Demetri yelled, taking a step forward.

Daniel's brows furrowed as he smirked slightly. "Didn't the wildlings help Jon Snow win the Battle of the Bastards?"

Sonny sighed, ooking down and shaking her head. "Should've picked a different analogy."

Daniel shook his head, ignoring Sonny and Demetri. "We're happy to have you."

...

"Yeah, nice try, but brute strength is only gonna get you so far." Demetri snapped from the rock he and Chris were trying to stand up, Sonny a few feet away, repotting plants.

"You got a better idea, smart-ass?" Chris seethed and Sonny rolled her eyes.

"Ever heard of a fulcrum?" Sonny announced, getting annoyed of the twos constant bickering. "Sorry, my head was starting to hurt from your guys' bullshit. So... fulcrum."

Demetri pointed at Sonny, a smile on his face. "Genius." He turned to Chris and quickly noticed he had no clue what he was talking about, making him sigh. "If you paid attention in physics, you'd know that a fulcrum is a pivot point that decreases the amount of output force required to lift an object."

Demetri looked to Chris with raised brows, hoping he understood but he didn't. "Okay. Watch and learn." Sonny passed Demetri a piece of wood to use and he quickly placed it under the rock.

He pushed down on the wood, he and Sonny expecting it to lift the rock but it only snaps in half, making Chris laugh.

"Fulcrum? More like 'full of crap.'" Chris joked and Sonny rolled her eyes as Demetri got up in his face. "The only thing that's full of crap is you and your little quiver in there. Admit it. You don't really wanna join Miyagi-Do. This is all just some scheme." Demetri screamed.

"Calling me a liar?" Chris scoffed.

"Ding, ding, ding!" Demetri yelled and Chris pushed Demetri back, making him trip on a rock and fall over. Sonny ran to Demetri helping him up as Sam and Robby ran over.

"Demetri! Demetri, are you okay?" Sam asked quickly as Robby glared at Chris. "That's it."

Robby went to jump at Chris until Daniel ran out of the house, stopping him. "Whoa! Whoa! What are you doing? We're on the same team now."

"Once a Cobra Kai, always a Cobra Kai!" Robby screamed and Sonny quickly looked down, feeling a pit grow in her stomach. Daniel noticed Sonny and sighed, shaking his head at Robby. "Well, that's not true. I know it's not true 'cause Sonny was in Cobra Kai and she's not bad."

"That's different, though. Sonny's been nice from the start." Robby explained, making Sonny smile.

Daniel looked down, pulling his lips into a line before sighing. "I also know because... I used to be a Cobra Kai."

Everyone's eyes grew wide as Daniel motioned them into the studio.

They all sat down, Sonny sitting on the ground next to Demetri with Sam beside her on a chair.

"Cobra Kai sells power, strength, and when I joined, I was... Well, I was weak. It was 1985. I had just won my first All Valley, and Mr. Miyagi didn't want me to compete anymore. He never really liked the idea of fighting for trophies in the first place. So, he and I, we got into this big argument, and what did I do? I joined Cobra Kai. I learned to strike first, strike hard, show no mercy, and it turned me into an angry and violent kid. It changed me."

"You never told me about any of this." Sam said from beside Sonny and Daniel just shook his head.

"It's not something I'm proud of, Sam. But my point is, anyone can be seduced by Cobra Kai, even me. And I'll admit, Cobra Kai makes you feel stronger, tougher, but it will also get you in trouble. And that's what happened to me. I'm just lucky Mr. Miyagi was willing to take me back. So, remember, it doesn't matter who anyone was before they stepped into this dojo. All that matters is that right now, today, we are all Miyagi-Do."

Sonny nodded as everyone started exiting the studio. Her eyes fell on a few shovels and she quickly patted Demetri's shoulder before he exited the room. She pointed to the shovels and smirked. "Shall we try again?" She whispered and Demetri smiled, nodding his head. "Indeed we shall."

The two grabbed the shovels, walking over to the rock.

They pushed the shovels under the rock and just before they could try to lift it, a third person came over, pushing a shovel under. Sonny looked up and smiled at Chris. "Okay, let's all do this fulcrum thing."

"Together, on the count of three." Demetri muttered and Sonny nodded. "One, two, three!"

As soon as Sonny said three, they lifted, slowly but surely, the rock started to lift up. "Got it!" Sonny cheered as Demetri let out a shocked laugh. "Almost there."

"Push it, come on." Chris grunted as they all dropped their shovels, pushing the rock up with their hands before they finally stood it up.

Sonny let out a happy laugh, pulling Demetri into a hug. When she pulled away she turned to Chris who had his fist out to fist bump her. Sonny smiled fist bumping him back as Demetri tried to high five him.

Daniel clapped for the three. "Good job, guys. You see that? We all work together as a team, anything is possible."

...

After everyone settled their differences, Daniel taught them all moves and surprisingly, they were all getting along.

After karate, Sonny walked to the front of Miyagi-Do to the street where Moon was waiting to pick her up. Moon smiled as soon as she saw Sonny, waving her down until she noticed the old Cobra Kai students. Sonny noticed Moons smile drop making her give her a worried look. "Everything okay?"

Moon glares right passed Sonny to the boys walking out of the dojo. "What are they doing here?" She whispered angrily. Sonnys eyes went slightly as she shook her head. "Moon. No."

"They beat you up-" Moon started, leaning over Sonny to get to the passenger side window. Sonny quickly grabbed Moons shoulders holding her back. "Moon! Moon! Moon! I'm okay. Look." Moon calmed down a little turning to face Sonny.

Sonny quickly took off her sunglasses, revealing the almost healed black eye. "Look, I'm fine." Moon took a deep breath, her hand cupping Sonnys cheek, stroking her thumb over Sonnys black eye and letting out a low sigh.

"They at least apologized right?" Moon whispered and Sonny chuckled, putting her hand over Moons and quickly moved it to kiss her hand. "Yes they did." Moon smiled, pulling Sonny into a sweet kiss.

When they pulled away, Moon kept her face nose to nose with Sonnys. "If they do something, let me know. I might not be in karate but I'll kick their asses."

Sonny chuckled, pulling Moon into one more quick kiss. "Of course."

—I LOVE SONNY BEING IN MIYAGI-DO😫🤌
