Jamie sighed as she walked into the complex. She and Sienna were hanging out at the girl's house, but she freaked out as she realized she was gonna be late for a lunch date she had planned. So, she dropped Jamie off and promised she would pick her up later.
Jamie rounded the corner and stopped as she saw Miguel in his wheelchair reaching towards a magazine Johnny was hanging on a fishing rod from the balcony.
Jamie shuts her eyes in confusion before she walks closer, "What is happening?"
Miguel turns to her and smiles as Johnny looks over, "Hey, Ms. Jackson."
"Hey, Sensei. What is going on?" She asks as she looks to Miguel
"Mr. Diaz here is reaching for some hot babes."
"Hot babes." She mutters to herself, "You know he can search it up on his phone, right?"
"Thank you." Miguel says
"It's not the same. We've gone over this." Johnny says, "But you won't know unless you get off your butt. Or you can keep getting foot rubs from that pansy therapist."
Jamie raises her brows as Miguel chuckles, "Okay." He says as he reaches for it, but Johnny pulls up the fishing rod.
"Weak!" Johnny says, "That all you got, Diaz? I thought you were the All Valley champ?"
Miguel furrows his brows before he stables himself and uses his wheelchair to push himself up. He reaches with one hand and is fingertips away before he falls over.
"Shit." Jamie says as she drops her bag. She immediately reaches for his arms to pull him up. She hears Johnny coming down the stairs as she helps him sit up.
"You all right?" She asks
"Yeah." He sighs
"All right. I got you, bud." Johnny says. He wraps his arms around Miguel's stomach and pulls him up, "Here we go." He says as he sits Miguel in his wheelchair.
He squats down by him, "Gimme a minute, we'll go again." He says patting Miguel's shoulder, "I still have my Vanna White Playboy. That'll get you going."
"Don't you get it?" Miguel snaps, "You could dangle a new PlayStation, I still wouldn't be able to stand up." He says before he leaves. Jamie sighs as Johnny stands up.
"You like hibachi?" Johnny asks turning to Jamie. She furrows her brows as he smiles.

Sienna was on a date with a random boy from school. She was annoyed that she picked to be at Golf-n-Stuff the day that Jamie was off. She and the boy walked to the prize table.
"Hey, Chris." She says
He frowns initially, but smiles at her, "Hey, Sienna."
"What do you want to ge ?" Her date asks nervously as he tries to wrap his arm around her. Sienna immediately pushes him off.
"The bear please." She smiles at Chris. He nods and brings the bear down to her, "Thank you."
"No problem." Chris says. Sienna goes to walk off and sees Hawk and his friends walking up. She turns the other way and pulls her date along. As they're walking away, she hears Chris yell and a bunch of laughing. She turns and sees Hawk running out with a bunch of stuffed toys.
She groans as her date frowns, "Everything okay?"
"Fine." She huffs. He stumbles after her as she walks off.

Jamie sat on a chair as she and Miguel watched Johnny start a fire on a grill.
"You know why they call this a hibachi?"
"They don't. It's a kettle grill." Miguel deadpans
"Hundred years ago in ancient China, there was a tiny little village of dairy farmers, living fat off their milk and cheese." Johnny rambles as Jamie furrows her brows, "When the drought came, they needed water from the river. The Chinamen didn't want to do their work."
"Not sure that's the appropriate term." She says
"China people, whatever." He waves her off, "The point is, they were laying around in hammocks waiting for rain. So a wise man gathered a bunch of twigs and stuffed it under the sleeping villagers. Know what he did then?"
"Lit a fire under them?" Miguel suggests
"Exactly. That's where the expression comes from. Know what that wise man's name was?" Johnny says as he kneels down by Miguel
"Hibachi?" Jamie says
"Damn straight." He says
"Yeah. Except that hibachis are from Japan, not China, where there weren't many dairy farmers, historically, or hammocks." Miguel says, "Think I'd fall for that?"
"I knew you'd be too busy calling my bullshit to know what I was up to." Johnny says. Jamie's eyes widen as she looks down at Miguel's feet
"Oh, yeah? What's that?" Miguel says
"Lighting a fire under you." Johnny says as he holds up the lighter and lighter fluid.
"What did you do?" Miguel mutters as he looks down. His eyes widen, "What did you do?" He exclaims. Johnny hurries and locks his arms above his head.
"Are you insane?" Jamie says
"Depends who you ask." He mumbles, "Come on, Diaz! Shake a leg."
"I can't!"
"Can if you want it that bad."
"It's all I want!"
"Then focus! Tell your brain to tell your legs to get their asses moving!"
"Miguel, come on."
"Okay." He inhales sharply. Miguel breathes heavily as he tries to move his leg. Jamie sits up as the flame gets bigger.
"Oh, shit."
"Sensei, it's going up his leg!" Jamie says. Johnny runs over and grabs the fire extinguisher. Jamie turns away as he sprays it.
"I really thought that would work." Johnny says
"Why didn't it? My foot was on fire. I didn't feel a thing. Why is nothing working?" He says as he looks down. Jamie's face falls into one of sympathy. He sighs, "It's fine. I should clean up before my mom gets home. See ya." He says before he leaves again.

Sienna walks out of the restroom. She huffs as she realizes her date is long gone. She frowns when she hears a bunch of yelling. Normally, she wouldn't be worried about it, but she decided to be nosy. As she walks into the room, she sees Hawk standing above Demetri locking his arm up as the Cobra Kai kids hype him up.
Before Sienna can even grasp what's happening, Hawk snaps Demetri's arm in half. The girl jumps as her breath hitches. She stands there frozen as Demetri grabs at his arm in immense pain. She looks up terrified as Hawk looks back at her.
His face falls even more as he realizes she saw what he did. He looks down at Demetri and when he looks back up, Sienna is gone.

Jamie didn't know how she ended up following Johnny and Miguel down a hall to god knows where, but when Johnny asked for her help, she agreed. Jamie looks around as random men stared them down.
"And I thought this place looked scary from the outside. Where are we, Sensei?" Miguel says
"It's a field trip. Here." He says as he tosses Jamie the bag, "Take this and follow my lead."
"Okay." She says skeptical
"Be still." Johnny says as he tries to walk right in
"Hold on. Nice try. Come back when they're 21."
"Yeah, that's gonna be tough. He'll be dead by then." Johnny says. Jamie's eyes widen as she looks at Johnny.
"What?" Miguel mutters
"He should be dead already." Miguel catches on as he sways, "Every day is a gift."
Miguel coughs. The security guard looking at him.
"He's got a bucket list. Getting past that door is number one on it." Johnny says. The guard looks to Jamie and Johnny steps in, "She's his sister."
Miguel looks up wide eyed as Jamie freezes.
"All right. Go ahead." The guard says, "Hey, good luck, kid." Miguel coughs for good measure. Johnny pushes him in with Jamie close behind.
The teens eyes widen as they walk into a rock concert. Johnny pushes through toward the middle. Jamie chuckles as she looks up at the stage.
"That's Dee Snider, the most badass rocker ever." Johnny yells over the music.
Jamie nods as they watch the band perform. Miguel turns, "How's this part of my physical therapy?"
"It's not. Just forget about all that and have some fun!" He says as he takes the bag from Jamie. He pulls out three beers and hands one to Miguel and Jamie. She laughs as she looks at Miguel who cheers.

Jamie didn't think she'd actually be having fun at a rock concert, but she was.
"Jamie!" Miguel yells, "Come get in the picture!"
Jamie leans down as Johnny stands behind them. She smiles wide as Miguel and Johnny stick out there tongues and hold up rock and roll signs.
"Can I get a copy of that?" Johnny says
"Don't worry, I'll tag you." Miguel says
"Tag me? What the hell does that mean?"
"Check your Facebook." Jamie says
"I don't have Facebook anymore, I threw my phone away."
"You know it's on your computer too, right?" Miguel looks back
Johnny nods hesitantly, "Yeah."
Jamie laughs as she turns back to the stage. The song ends as the crowd cheers.
"All right, all right. So, I hear there's a Make-A-Wish kid in the house tonight." Dee says
"Yeah, right here. Right here!" Johnny yells as he and Jamie point to Miguel, "Yeah! Here he is!"
"There he is. There he is. Ladies...let's make that kid's wish come true!" Jamie raises her brows as random girls wave to Miguel. He waves back nervously, "All right. Now repeat after Dee...I wanna rock!"
"Rock!"
The crowd jumps as the song starts. Miguel and Johnny singing along as they bobbed their heads.
Johnny nudges Jamie and the girl looks up at him. He motions to Miguel. The girl gasps as she sees Miguel tapping his foot, "Miguel!" She says tapping him frantically
"Yeah?"
"Look!" She points. He looks down at his foot and gasps before he looks back at them. Jamie jumps up and down as Johnny smiles.
"Yes!" Miguel yells

"Do it again, do it again, do it again!" Carmen smiles
"Okay, Okay, Okay!" Miguel says as he taps his foot again
"Oh, my God! Thank you so much!" Carmen says turning to Johnny and Jamie
"It was all the kid. Told you he was a fighter. Don't get too cocky. We gotta get you out of that chair." Johnny says
"Yes, Sensei." Miguel nods
"All right. Well, good night." Johnny says as he turns to his apartment. Carmen watches as he leaves.
"Okay, well I'll see you tomorrow?" Jamie says
"Yeah." Miguel smiles
"Okay. Night, Miguel. Good night, Ms. Diaz." She says as she walks up the steps
"Good night, sweetie."
"Night, Jamie." Miguel says as he watches her walk up the steps. Carmen goes to push him in the house, but he stops her, "Hold on."
Carmen frowns as she watches Miguel look down. When Miguel hears a door close, he looks up to his mom, "Okay."
Carmen smiles knowingly as she pushes him into the house.
