Robby and Miguel walk towards the kitchen of the LaRusso house with casual conversation. Johnny and Carmen were having their gender reveal party at the LaRusso's. It was more so Amanda who convinced them since she was so excited for the baby, but they had no probably with it.

Jamie and Amber were invited to the party. Both of them helping to set it up before anyone else got there. As they make it to the kitchen, they see Tory and Jamie carrying a vase that Amanda had asked Jamie to take into the next room.

"I don't think I'm ever gonna get used to that." Robby says

"Better than the awkwardness." Miguel chuckles

As the two walk back in, they all gather around by the table. Sam comes down from her room as Jamie grabs a cookie from the table.

"So, why do you guys think it's gonna be?" Sam beams

"A boy." Miguel smiles

"Me too." Robby says

"It's definitely a girl." Jamie says taking a bite of her cookie

"I think so, too." Sam says

"Same." Tory nods

"What makes you so sure?" Robby says

"Because I just know." Jamie scoffs, "There's a vibe."

"A vibe?" Miguel chuckles

"I totally get what she's saying." Sam says

"Is that a thing?" Robby says

"Of course it's a thing." Tory says

"I'm right." Jamie shrugs

"Wanna bet?" Robby says

"Ooh." Miguel instigates

"20 bucks it's a boy."

"Deal." Jamie says holding her hand out. Robby shakes it before there's a loud crash.

Everyone looks over toward the living room. Carmen gasps as Johnny walks in with the collar of his shirt stained with pink dye.

"The package came early." Carmen says walking up to him

"Guess it's a girl." Johnny says

"Yes!" Jamie cheers. Robby groans pulling out his wallet.

Carmen chuckles, "I can't wait to meet her. And for her to meet her dad."

Johnny chuckles before pulling her into a hug. Robby hands Jamie the $20 bill before they walk over to Carmen and Johnny.

"It's a girl!" Amanda says hitting Chozen's shoulder

"Ow."

"I'm a girl dad. You're a girl brother." Johnny says before hugging Robby. Miguel pulls his mom into a hug. As they pull away, Jamie pulls her into a hug followed by Amber.

"Where's Daniel?" Amanda says

"Oh, yeah, uh..." Johnny mutters. They all turn upon hearing approaching footsteps. Their jaws drop as Daniel walks in covered in the pink dye.

Sam can't help the laughter that escapes as she looks at her dad. The others follow as Daniel stands there with a scowl on his face.

"I told him not to move." Johnny laughs

"I'm too old for this shit." Daniel complains, but can't help the smile that spreads on his face.

Jamie lets out a deep sigh as she stops in front of the gate to Miyagi-Do. She knew what she was walking into. As much as she didn't want to deal with or even see Priscilla, she deserved to be there. Karate had become a huge part of her life. There was no way she was going to let someone like Priscilla ruin that for her. Especially when Priscilla had told her multiple times that she would make her miserable. She couldn't let her be right.

She looks around as she steps into the dojo. Everyone was either in conversation, warming up, or both. They all also had their gis on and she was internally thankful that she brought it with her.

"Jamie." The girl turns as Miguel walks up with a big smile, "You came."

"Yeah. I realized that you guys were right." She nods, "I deserve to be here."

Miguel's smile widens as Johnny walks over, "Ms. Jackson. Glad you could make it."

"Yeah." She says, "I'm sorry about the other day."

Johnny shakes his head, "The last person you need to apologize to is me. Go get your gi on and start warming up."

"Yes, Sensei." She nods. He gives her a small smile and pats her shoulder as she walks off.

Tory and Jamie were stood on a sparring deck as they practiced their kata. Both of them giving each other pointers when one couldn't remember what came next.

"All right, all right. You got the kata down." Johnny says, "Let's see you use it. Fighting positions." The two turn to each other and bow, "Ready? Fight!"

The two stare back at each other for a few seconds before Tory kicks at Jamie and tries throwing a punch that Jamie easily blocks.

"Come on, fight." Johnny calls out. There's hesitancy in their stances before Jamie kicks at Tory. Johnny groans, "What is this, Ice Capades? That's enough. Fighting stance. Twenty-five reverse punches. Ready?"

"Yes, Sensei." Jamie says as they get into position

"Begin."

"Hai!" Jamie calls out as she throws a punch

Miguel and Robby watch from afar. Devon walks over, "Your girlfriends are broken. What the hell did you guys do?"

"We didn't do anything. They're just friends now." Robby says

"Yeah, they went from war to Cold War to peace." Miguel says

"Yeah, piece of crap fighting." Devon scoffs before walking over to Johnny, "Sensei, I get that Miyagi-Do is about avoiding conflict, but if they're not gonna go hard during training, how are they gonna lead us to victory at the tournament?"

"They're not." He sighs, "They're gonna get their asses kicked."

Jamie's eyes follow him as he approaches Daniel and Amanda who just walked in. She tries focusing on her punches, but is distracted again by Johnny's yelling.

"Lee. Call your dad. Tell him you're having people over tonight." He yells

Jamie brows furrow as she looks toward Tory. The blonde mirroring her expression before they face forward.

______________________________________

Jamie was not expecting for Johnny to invite her over to Devon's house that night. While she figured it was going to be something to do with karate, she was confused on why it was at Devon's house.

She and Tory look up at the house as they walk up to the steps, "Does Devon have a home dojo?"

"No idea." Jamie mutters, "But I am wearing waterproof shoes in case Johnny throws us in a creek or quicksand."

Jamie reaches over and rings the doorbell. It's not long before the door swings open, "You made it." Devon beams, "We're in the basement."

As Devon walks away from the door, Tory and Jamie look at each other. Jamie shrugs before Tory looks into the house. She walks in first with Jamie following her.

They make their way down the steps and Jamie frowns at the balloons beside the stairs.

"Welcome to Miyagi-Do After Dark." Johnny says holding his arms out

"I don't think you should call it that." Jamie says

"Miyagi-Do Nights?"

Jamie shakes her head, "No."

"Dark Nights?"

"Wait." Tory interjects, "Is this a slumber party?"

Devon walks in with a container, "I've never had one before. I didn't know what color nail polish you guys like, so I just got them all."

"Since you two are friends now, we can have a girls' night."

"With you?" Tory asks

"Hell yeah. I'm a girl dad now." Johnny says. Jamie can't help but to chuckle, "I brought cookies and tampons and everything. Come on inside. Grab a sleeping bag. The Mr. T one's mine."

Jamie raises her brows and tilts her head before walking in. Tory follows her to set their bags down.

"Sensei, this isn't me complaining, and I know you love a good theme, but I'm not sure how a sleepover is gonna help them get their edge back." Devon says

"Their friendship's caused them to lose the eye of the tiger." Johnny says, "Even though they were friends before, it's awkward. I know how good they both are when they fight someone they don't like. So, they need conflict. I used to hear about Ali's slumber parties. Nonstop drama. Put a bunch of high-school girls in a basement, mix in a little gossip, pretty soon you got something that makes Scarface look like Bambi."

Devon chuckles before the two turn back to the girls.
