023 — the right path

episode four

ATLAS STANDS ALONGSIDE HAWK as the two of them listen to Kreese explain a few things.

"Never underestimate your enemy. Even if you think they're weaker than you. You have to stay one step ahead of them. That's the only way to guarantee a victory, is that understood?" Kreese questions.

"Yes, Sensei!" everyone chants simultaneously, "Good. Now let's see if you truly understand the lesson. I want you to kick this tree off the top. Red, you start." Kreese suggests receiving a nod off the boy.

Dougie—Red then proceeds to try and hit the bonsai tree off the top of the post being unsuccessful in doing so ripping his gi in the fall onto the mat.

"Pathetic," Kreese scoffs, "Rickenberger. Show him." Kreese then demands receiving a nod of confirmation off the other teenager who also is unsuccessful tumbling to the ground with a groan.

"Stop your snivelling." Kreese irritatingly demands, Atlas smirks being tapped on the shoulder by Hawk already knowing what to do.

"I can do it, Sensei." Atlas shrugs smugly, "Well, what're you waiting for?" Kreese states.

Atlas steps onto the mat looking at the pole post, "Don't you want a running start?" Kreese quizzes.

"Why? I don't need one." Atlas responds kicking the pole with a satisfied yell watching the bonsai tree fall onto the mat and smash into the pieces.

"Not bad. Not bad at all." Kreese chuckles proud of the Teller male, "But he cheated." Rickenberger suggests confused.

"Oh really?" Atlas darkly chuckles looking at Hawk smiling amused at Rickenberger's accusation of his best friend cheating.

"No, he didn't. Unlike you, he did exactly what I asked him to do. If your mind is agile, so are you," Kreese responds walking to stand in-front of one of the Cobra Kai students.

"That's the best way to beat your enemy, not just with brute strength, but you have to fight smart," said man utters making his way in-front of all of his students again with a taunting smirk placed on his face.

"Do that, and you'll always come out on top." Kreese voices firmly standing directly in-front of Atlas and Hawk watching both boys form mischievous smirks on their faces.

LUNA SITS WITH MOON and Yasmine talking amongst themselves in the cafeteria.

"Oo, carrots!" Luna says grabbing one of Moon's carrots from her lunch tray knowing the girl won't mind.

"Have at them babe. I got them for you." Moon winks making Luna giggle before looking at her phone noticing a missed call from Robby.

"Oh shoot." Luna mutters annoyed at herself for missing the phone call due to being a school.

"Hey! You ready to rock our earth science presentation?" Demetri questions sitting down on the free seat beside Luna at their cafeteria table.

"I'm ready to go back to a world where we don't have to talk regularly." Yasmine responds.

"You're lucky Demetri and I are even talking to you at all. But considering you've apologised and actually becoming a nice person. Good for you, one word from Dem here and that's all over." Luna states smiling at Demetri beside her.

"Thanks Lulu. And hey, hey! My popularity's on the rise, while yours is steadily declining. But, uh, maybe we can meet in the middle, like a sexual Venn diagram." Demetri voices making Moon and Luna laugh and Yasmine grimace in disgust.

"So what's under the sheet?" Moon curiously asks, "I'm glad you asked." Demetri says standing up and taking off the sheet revealing their science experiment.

"Behold, what scientists believe to be the Valley when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Go ahead, press the hadrosaur egg." Demetri demands.

Yasmine does as told pressing the egg making it come to life with animal sounds and making the volcano roar to life with smoke.

"Wow!" Luna exclaims impressed, "Not bad! My parents may not have to pay for my A this time." Yasmine smiles.

"Oh. Your parents will never have to pay for an A again" Demetri responds looking at the blonde girl with a serious look on his face.

"You did a good job Dem. How long did this take you to build?" Luna asks genuinely curious.

"Three..." Demetri begins to say being interrupted by a ball smashing into the experiment shocking Luna as the ball makes contact with her now spilt coca-cola.

"What the fuck!" Luna exclaims glaring straight at Hawk and Atlas—who are now walking towards them laughing with one another.

"Oh. I'm sorry, man. Looks like my ball just got away from me" Hawk taunts grabbing the ball from Luna's lap.

"That took me three weeks to build." Demetri mumbles, "Eh. Took his ball three seconds to destroy" Atlas shrugs.

"It'll take my fists three seconds to destroy your face." Luna snarls standing up beside Demetri, "Why don't you try it, Lun." Atlas taunts.

"And risk being suspended for a smug jerk like you? No thank you." Luna responds glaring at the Moskowitz and Teller boys walking away back to their table with their dojo friends.

"Do you have another one?" Yasmine questions, "Yas. Not the time." Luna whispers looking at the blonde who nods backing down sensing the anger between both Demetri and Luna at the two males behind her.

"Another week. Another pissing contest. Although I shouldn't be surprised since you love pissing so much." Demetri angrily snarls.

"You landed one kick. You got lucky." Hawk mutters, Luna tilts her head looking straight at Atlas.

"Wanna say something? Or are you worried I'd knock you unconscious again?" Luna taunts with a smirk on her face seeing Atlas gulp at the memory.

"You two better back off. Or you won't be lucky." Sam orders now standing beside her sister scowling at the Cobra Kai members.

Hawk and Atlas both scoff amused by Sam's threats, "Like you'll start anything, princess. How about you pretty girl, why don't you both go sleep with someone new and break their hearts?" Hawk quizzes.

"Difference is. After being rejected multiple times, you couldn't take that I chose someone else over you, huh Eli?" Luna wonders shoving Hawk into the desk with a grunt.

"What's going on, Miss Azalea-LaRusso? You know our physical contact guidelines." Blatt states interrupting the little conflict between the brunette girl and Mohawk boy.

"Did she enter your personal bubble without verbal consent?" Blatt questions looking at Hawk.

"She definitely triggered me in my safe space." Hawk responds, "What? He started by destroying my science project." Demetri exclaims pissed off.

"That was an accident! You probably shouldn't bring toys to school." Hawk says.

"I don't want excuses. I just want you to respect each other." Blatt responds.

"She's right guys. We should stop the aggression. Micro and macro." Hawk mumbles putting on a sad face making Luna glare at him with irritation.

"Oh. Give me a break." Sam snaps, "Hey, consider this a warning, Miss LaRusso. You too Azalea-LaRusso. And get these legos off the ground someone could get hurt." Blatt orders walking away from the teens.

"For you pansies, no space is safe." Hawk taunts dropping the sad boy act and becoming the same cold boy he was minutes before the encounter with Blatt.

"Next time you as much as slut-shame me or my sister, there will be hell to pay. And I don't care about the whole different dojos. That goes for you as well, Atlas!" Luna exclaims stomping out of the cafeteria.

After calming down in the locker rooms, Luna gets changed into her cheerleader outfit.

Meeting Moon outside with the other cheerleaders smiling at their welcoming arms before looking over at Sam, Demetri and the rest of the Miyagi-Do out on the field ready to play some soccer.

Students step out of the way hearing gasps and shy giggles, Luna looks over at the source of the sudden noise seeing Atlas and Hawk leading the rest of Cobra Kai onto the field.

"Oh great." Luna mutters in annoyance not being able to get away from them at all.

"Ignore them babe. You look hot in your cheer uniform." Moon states winking at the brunette who smiles in response.

"Thanks Moon." Luna responds lowly doing some stretches ignoring the members behind her staring at her figure in the uniform.

—————

HAWK AND ATLAS GLANCE at Luna taking in her beauty on the field in her cheerleading uniform.

"How long has she been in cheer for?" Atlas quizzes confused.

"Not sure. But she looks hot in that uniform." Hawk responds with a shrug before making his way out onto the field ready to play some soccer with the other students.

Atlas eventually follows smirking smugly at Sam and Demetri glaring at him and Hawk—also on the field with them.

Luna watches from the sidelines following along with Moon's instructions in the cheer routine.

Grunts, groans and shocked gasps coming from the field smirking in triumph seeing Sam, Demetri and the rest of Miyagi-Do taking back their reputation by kicking Cobra Kai's ass on the soccer field.

"You've caught on fast. Good for you!" Harmony—another member of the cheerleading squad compliments standing beside Luna.

"Oh. Thanks Har." Luna responds doing a cartwheel onto the grass hearing Moon, Harmony and the rest of the girls cheering her on.

"Cute guy alert." Harmony states motioning to the male standing beside Moon while the team stands on the sidelines.

"Get it, babe." Luna whispers with a wink taking notice of Hawk winking at the both of them making Moon and Luna look away in annoyance.

Demetri smirks running beside Hawk, "They both loved you, you know." Demetri states.

"What'd you say?" Hawk questions jogging alongside his old best friend.

"Oh, yeah. They told me. Man, you had good things going with the two hottest girls in school. And you ruined it by becoming a loser!" Demetri mutters tripping Hawk making him tumble onto the ground with a grunt.

"I guess that's why the Europeans call it football." Demetri smugly states with a smirk running off towards the ball again.

"Let's get him." Rickenberger suggests, "No, wait. Remember what Sensei said." Hawk states stopping the male from rushing after Demetri.

Atlas runs up behind them, "Fight smart. Come on." Atlas states encouraging them into playing a little more aggressive.

But not to the point where they won't get into trouble with the coach, Blatt or the main principal of the school.

Luna covers her mouth watching as multiple students knock into one another before hearing the coach blow her whistle.

"You know what? That's it! Everyone to the principal's office now!" Coach demands annoyed sending off all of the students to the principals office.

"Well, crap." Luna mumbles looking at Moon looking at her already with a smile.

"You joining the cheerleading team will be the best decision for you. I promise." Moon explains.

The two girls stroll into the locker room to change out of their uniforms and finish off the rest of the day at school.

"Detention. Seriously?" Luna scoffs standing beside Sam at her locker.

"Yeah. And they didn't get a single thing!" Sam snaps pissed, "This school sucks." Luna mutters pissed off.

"That's what I said!" Sam exclaims in response closing her locker and walking off with her adoptive sister knowing Luna will go home or to visit Robby and she'll go to detention.

"Good luck." Luna winks leaving the school strolling towards her vehicle starting her drive to the correctional centre to visit her boyfriend.

—————

LUNA PARKS HER CAR walking into the main entrance of the centre signing her name before walking into the waiting room for her boyfriend.

"Lu. Baby." Robby voices walking into the visitation room where Luna is waiting.

"Hey Robs." Luna whispers hugging him knowing they're allowed to hug as a greeting.

"How's that eye of yours?" Luna quizzes wincing at the bruising on Robby's face.

"It's alright. Healing." Robby responds closing his eyes at the feeling of her soft hands on her cheeks.

"I promised I'd visit you." Luna whispers.

"My day gets better once I see you. So thank you gorgeous." Robby softly voices seeing the guard motioning that's times up.

The couple have spent the past twenty minutes talking to one another.

"I'll be back handsome. I'm sorry for missing your call this morning. I was at school." Luna explains.

"That's alright baby. I'll see you soon." Robby murmurs being lead into the centre once again to put up with the jerks inside.

Luna walks out from the visitation room noticing Kreese at the front desk signing.

"Ah. Miss Azalea-LaRusso. How are you?" Kreese questions.

"Don't you dare talk to me." Luna mutters leaving the correctional centre driving home to sleep off the day.

The brunette walks into her room looking at her lock screen smiling at the photo of Robby and her before placing her phone on her nightstand.

Said girl sighs changing into her pyjamas climbing into her bed with a soft pout on her face allowing sleep to take over her body for the next few hours.
