—————

THROUGHOUT HER SIXTEEN YEARS of life Luna Azalea-LaRusso has always been stubborn, tough and hot headed learning the moves on Miyagi-Do alongside her adoptive sister Samantha LaRusso.

Although the two sisters aren't biological sisters they act like it due to being the same age and sharing the same friends minus some interests that take up on their own.

Luna groans waking up remembering last nights craziness, Yasmine accidentally crashed into someone's car and then drove away once all four of them screamed at the crazy man banging on there back window.

"Morning," Luna greets sitting at the kitchen table seeing a place of strawberry pancakes—her favourite breakfast placed in-front of her.

"Thanks Dad." Luna smiles looking at the man she adores, "No problem kiddo, don't work too hard today okay?" Daniel suggests pecking said girls cheek and walking out of the house leaving for work for the day.

"So LuLu, how's your art coming along?" Amanda wonders taking her seat alongside her children.

"Good, I have an idea for my next project, I'll most likely do that after my boxing class tonight." Luna smiles, "That sounds good sweetheart." Amanda responds with a wide smile.

After breakfast Luna sits in her bedroom hearing a gentle knock on her door, "Come in," Luna calls out flipping through some of her pages in her sketchpad for future paintings.

"Hey, about last night, thanks for coming with us Lulu, we missed you these couple weeks," Sam states.

"No problem, so what are we doing today since Mom and Dad are at the club with Anthony." Luna wonders placing her sketchbook down and giving all of her attention to her sister.

"Well, Moon is coming over soon and so is Yasmine and then we'll decide together, does that sound alright?" Sam questions, "Perfectly fine." Luna nods noticing Sam looking at her paintings in shock.

"Woah, these are insane Lulu!" Sam exclaims flipping through the book seeing Luna watching her with a smile.

"Thanks." Luna giggles hearing the doorbell downstairs, both girls rush downstairs seeing Yasmine and Moon standing at the front door in their bikinis.

"Hey." Moon greets happily seeing her best friend of three years, "Hey girlfriend." Luna winks gesturing for both girls to come inside and sit at the table to figure out what the plans are for the rest of the day since their parents and little brother are out of the house.

After a while of sitting around laughing together, Sam suggests that they should throw a small pool party since the weather is perfect outside right now.

Luna grimaces at the idea but eventually breaks and nods happily at the suggestions messaging their friends on all social media platforms stating that there's a party and to get their butts to the LaRusso out as soon as possible.

An hour later the screams of joy and splashes surrounding the four girls lounging in their bikinis grow louder and louder with Kyler showing off his diving tricks off the side of the pool.

"Okay, you were totally right, this is so much fun." Sam voices smiling at the three girls.

"Told you, always better to be the one throwing the party and Kyler's been eye-banging you all day." Yasmine states motioning towards Kyler sending smiles towards Sam before drinking his drink.

"Hey, Rory, do your flip again, I want to get it for my channel." Moon suggests standing up from beside Luna and Sam.

Rory does as told and flips off a small trampoline into the pool with the surrounding teens celebrating around him.

"Hey, hey, what the hell is going on here?" Daniel's voice is heard shouting from behind Luna and Sam who jump up at hearing their father's voice.

"Oh, shit." Moon utters stopping her recording on her shocked at the seeing her friend's father arriving home earlier than planned and stopping the music.

"All right, everyone get out of here right now!" Daniel demands ushering everyone out of the backyard.

"I'm so sorry, Dad. Luna and I had no idea you were going to be home so early." Sam speaks up rushing towards the man.

"It doesn't make a difference what time I get home. Luna, Sam, you think we want a bunch of strangers in the backyard making a mess?" Daniel questions annoyed.

"They're not strangers, they're our friends." Luna states looking at the man, "Some friends," Daniel scoffs noticing Rory getting of out the pool.

"Is he wearing my bathing suit?" Daniel wonders noticing the bathing suit the teenage boy's wearing before looking around the backyard again realising they're all familiar bathing suits.

"Wait, are all of you guys wearing my bathing suits? All right, listen, party's over, let's go, take the suits off and leave," Daniel demands firmly looking at the left over teenagers around the backyard before looking back at Rory going to take the bathing suit off in front of him.

"No, not out here, genius. In the pool house." Daniel suggests ushering the said teenager off into the pool house.

Sam and Luna both sigh in annoyance and Luna turns around noticing their mom walking into the backyard sending her a pleading look for her to stop their dad from embarrassing them any further.

Amanda quickly asks Daniel into the house sending a wink Luna's way at getting their father away from them.

"On and scale from one to ten, how grounded do you think we are?" Luna quizzes looking at Sam.

"Six or seven, possibly even eight." Sam groans walking inside following behind Luna to shower and get changed out of their wet bikinis.

—————

LUNA GETS OUT OF her car after her boxing lesson just a couple blocks away smiling at Daniel and Amanda in the kitchen before walking upstairs knocking on Sam's bedroom door hearing her on FaceTime with Yasmine and Moon.

"Hey, I'm here." Luna greats sitting beside Sam on her bed seeing Moon light up at her entrance.

"My girlfriend!" Moon exclaims happily blowing a kiss at the brunette who catches it and pats her chest three times.

"I need one of you bitches to pick me up for school tomorrow." Yasmine states looking at the three on the laptop screen, "How is your car still not ready?" Luna wonders with a frown.

"My dad is getting me a new one, he felt bad about that deer that jacked up the Range Rover." Yasmine smirks, "You hit a deer?" Moon asks confused.

"Moon baby, she rear-ended that guy's car, remember?" Luna speaks up seeing Moon nod now remembering with a blushful smile, "Oh, yeah, right." Moon hums.

"I'm still kind of freaked out about it, I feel guilty about just driving away." Sam quietly says.

"From that meth-head zombie? If I hadn't gunned it, we'd be chained up in his basement right now." Yasmine mutters.

"For once I actually agree with Yas on this one." Luna voices, "Lulu, Sam, you got a sec?" Daniel wonders coming into Sam's room hearing both of them in said room together seeing the laptop screen lit up in front of their faces.

"Oh, I didn't know you were talking to your friends, I—I'll come back." Daniel states turning around to walk out of the room.

"Dad wait." Luna demands gently, "Just wait a second." Sam states facing the laptop once again.

"Uh, yeah, I can pick you up in the morning, yes." Sam responds to Yasmine's demand earlier seeing the blonde smile.

"Oh, good." Yasmine says before Sam shuts her laptop looking up at their dad with their full attention, "I just wanted to say," Daniel voices.

"No, look, Dad—we're really sorry about today, we shouldn't have just invited everyone over without asking you and Mom first." Sam voices looking at Luna beside her nodding in agreement.

"Well, maybe I overreacted a little," Daniel mumbles seeing Luna look at him with a squint.

"Well, maybe more than a little, okay?" Daniel corrects himself seeing both his daughters smile.

"Just have those guys bring their own trunks from now on, okay?" Daniel wonders, "Of course." Luna nods looking at Sam, "Deal." Sam confirms.

Daniel looks around, "So these guys—anyone I have to worry about?" Daniel quizzes sitting in-between both girls.

"You don't have to worry, Dad." Luna responds winking at Sam knowing about her crush.

"But there is this one guy, Kyler, he and I have been texting a little bit," Sam explains, "Texting, right, just words, though?" Daniel questions with hesitation hearing Luna chuckle under her breath.

"What do you mea—oh, gross, no, no—just words, Dad." Sam exclaims shocked, "Good, that's good." Daniel mumbles.

"What about you, kiddo?" Daniel questions facing Luna, "Me? No one at the moment, just enjoying myself." Luna answers with a shrug seeing Daniel look relieved.

"So Kyler, how about we invite him over for dinner on Friday?" Daniel questions after a while of silence between the three.

"You want me to invite Kyler to Friday family dinner?" Sam asks shocked hearing the question coming from her father.

"I mean, he's not talking about walking you down the aisle." Luna shrugs resulting in Sam shoving her playfully.

"Correct Lulu, we're just going to give the kid a meal, besides, your brother has a sleepover and Luna already knows him so it'll be a good chance for us to get to know him." Daniel suggests looking at Luna smiling at him.

"Okay, I'll see if he can come." Sam responds with a giggle, "Great." Daniel says standing up to leave the room.

"You don't have to worry about me, Dad. Luna and I can handle ourselves, we're LaRusso's." Sam states firmly.

"That's my girls, jersey tough." Daniel smiles hugging both of them, "Anyways, I'm gonna head to bed, night Sammy." Luna mumbles.

"Goodnight Lulu." Sam voices while Luna closes her bedroom door walking into hers to sleep for school tomorrow.

THE NEXT MORNING AFTER BREAKFAST Luna agrees to ride with Sam since she's already giving Yasmine and Moon a lift to school as well.

After grabbing their lunch, the four girls walk towards their table in the school's cafeteria noticing all the guys and girls looking at them in awe.

"Oh, my god, you guys, you see that guy over there who looks like he went down on a lawnmower? He's literally wearing the ugliest sweater I've ever seen." Yasmine taunts hearing Moon snicker and Luna scoff looking at the two of them hating that they're bullies.

"That is so wrong." Sam voices genuinely shocking Luna, "Speaking of wrong, check out Fug-lisha, she looks like she ate a picnic table." Yasmine says laughing with Moon.

Unaware of Sam sending a small smile towards Aisha, Yasmine whimpers in mockery.

"Yeah, alright, I'm done, I'm not gonna be associated with high school bullies," Luna snaps standing up from the table.

"I'll meet you at the car later." Luna states looking at Sam who nods pleading for her not to leave her alone.

"Hey Eli, Demetri, not sure who you're—other than Kyler's unnecessary nickname for you, I'm Luna," Luna smiles standing at the table shocking the others.

"Keep staring assholes! I fucking dare you, look away punks!" Luna shouts snapping everyone out of their staring contest with the girl.

"Sorry about them—ignore them." Luna smiles messing up Eli's hair playfully, "My names Miguel." Miguel greets shaking the brunettes hand.

"Welcome to this shitty school." Luna smiles walking away from the table towards the girls room to freshen up for her last two classes.

"Okay, so what just happened? She's popular but talks to you guys?" Miguel asks looking at the two boys.

"She's one of Eli's best friends, always has been and she doesn't allow popularity to get in the way of her friendships as scary and tough as she may seem." Demetri explains.

"Woah." Miguel smiles seeing Eli smiling at him proud of calling Luna one of his best friends.

After school Luna gets dropped off at her boxing class before walking home as it's not that far from her house walking inside smiling at her parents and little brother in the kitchen.

"How was boxing sweetheart?" Daniel wonders, "Good, I still miss karate though." Luna shrugs walking up the stairs and showering for tonights dinner with Sam, her sort of boyfriend and her parents mentally preparing herself not to beat Kyler up for his unnecessary loudness and comments during their dinner.

Sam and Luna sit beside one another at the kitchen table with Kyler sitting at the end watching the food being prepared by Daniel beside him.

"The yanagi, or yanagi ba, depending on the region, is a knife used exclusively for cutting sashimi. I picked up this bad boy on my first trip to Okinawa—Voilà, the famous, LaRusso ponzu toro." Daniel explains seeing Amanda, Sam and Luna smiling at him happily.

"Oh, no, thanks, I don't like sushi." Kyler voices, "Uh, are you sure you just don't want to try a little piece?" Amanda wonders, "It melts in your mouth." Daniel says.

"Uh, no, fish kind of grosses me out." Kyler mutters, Luna rolls her eyes in annoyance knowing he doesn't hate fish and just being his usual disrespectful self.

"No, you like fish. What about the fish sticks at school?" Sam questions.

"Oh, yeah, fish sticks are dope, you have fish sticks?" Kyler exclaims not seeing Luna roll her eyes again with a low scoff that she covers up with a cough.

"Uh, no, just this fresh fish I picked up from the Japanese market this morning." Daniel explains.

"You know what? Why don't we go see if we can find Kyler something he can eat, okay? Lulu, Sam, you want to come with me to the kitchen?" Amanda asks her two daughters.

"Sure." Sam speaks up, "Yes please." Luna states standing up immediately following her mother and sister into the kitchen.

"Thank you mom for saving me from that awkwardness." Luna throws her head while mumbling.

"All good honey." Amanda smiles sending a look at Sam who has her hands in her hair muttering to herself that the dinner was kind of a mistake.

"Can I go upstairs to my room since Dad just left?" Luna wonders gesturing to Daniel walking out of the house and Kyler sitting at the table awkwardly glancing around the house.

Amanda nods at Luna and gestures for Sam to come with her to drop Kyler off at home leaving Luna alone for a while to finish her sketch for her next painting.
