Johnny grinned. "You passed."

"Alaska!" Gina was shaking her when when Johnny said it. "Baby! I'm so proud of you!"

Alaska wanted to celebrate, but she ended up sobbing in her dads arm as he held her tightly. "Hey, hey. Stop those tears, darling. One year sober, we're so proud of you."

"Come here to me, Antartica." Johnny yanked Alaska away from Zane, lifting her from the ground with a shake. "No crying in this dojo."

She had to laugh through her cries. "It's a warehouse."

"I'm so proud of you." he squeezed her tightly. "Don't tell anyone I said it."

Alaska didn't want to talk, she just wanted to cry. And the three let her, group hugging at the warehouse. Gina kissed her forehead. Johnny cleared his throat. "Let's go kick ass at that All Valley."

Alaska nodded, whipping her face. "Let's do it."

"I'm freakin out!" Devon announced in the hallway, kicking her feet around. "I'm gonna go crazy!"

"Me too." Alaska paced, her heart thumping. "Oh my god, oh my god."

"Alaska, chill." Miguel laughed as he latched onto her shoulders, making her look at him. "It's not so scary when you get out there."

"Tell that to my heart Miguel." Alaska pointed at her thumping heart. "Go ahead, she's listening!"

"Tell that to my breakfast I just got rid of." Wyatt gagged as he came from the bathroom. "I need a mint."

"I've got one!" a new voice called, the four looking down the hallway to see a familiar duo walking in. Alaska hadn't seen Demetri or Eli at all today, and having them infront of her now finally felt like a wave of calmness. "Al, I broke up with Yasmine, so get your sober behind over here and hug me!"

"Demetri, shh." she laughed, running their way as the pair caught her in their arms. Wyatt had to gush slightly at the trio, his trio.

"We're so proud of you." Eli leaned to the side to plant a kiss on her head. "I'm so proud of you."

"It's true, he was crying all morning when G texted the results." Demetri pulled back, kissing Alaska on the forehead. "I love you."

"I love you too." she smiled up at him, and the announcer inside made it clear dojo names were about to be called. "You guys need to go to Daniel, i'll see you out there."

Demetri looked to Wyatt, hesitantly before walking his way. Eli and Alaska turned, watching Demetri hand a mint to him. "Eat this so I can kiss you after this."

Wyatt flushed in the face, nodding, taking the mint.

"Hey." Eli pulled Alaskas face to look at him, burning red with a smile. "You have no clue how happy I am for you."

Alaska grabbed his face, planting a kiss to his lips, their Miyagi Do and Eagle Fang Gi's clashing together.

Johnny looked to Miguel. "They're together?"

Miguel gapped. "You always called them boyfriend and girlfriend."

"And they always denied it." Johnny said back with a crazy look.

"I'm proud of you." Alaska held his face, nodding. "You're gonna kill it out there. And it's gonna look weird, but i'm gonna cheer you on so much."

"Me too." he flushed while looking at her. "You're gonna do so good out there, I can already see it. And i'm gonna tell every single person that I see that...Alaska Lee? Oh, yeah, that's my hella badass girlfriend."

Alaska smiled widened, leaning in and planting a kiss onto his lips again, pulling back, doing it again.

"Hey, Eli, we be-" Demetri began, being cut off.

"There my favorite couple!" a voice echoed down the hall, making them all turn. "Damn, you guys look so hot in your little gi's."

"Kody?" the four asked on sync as he walked over.

"I had to lie and say I was apart of Cobra Kai to get back here." Cobra put his arm around the two, bouquets of flowers suddenly in both their faces. "For my favorite girl, and my favorite boy."

"Love how we mean nothing to him." Wyatt nodded toward Demetri.

"How'd you convince them you were Cobra Kai?" Demetri rose his brows his way.

"Oh, Dad!" Kody called down the hall, nodding to the man. "He definitely helped."

Johnny pushed off the wall with a gapping look. "Jimmy?"

"Johnny!" Jimmy grinned in return.

"What the hell are you doing here?" he looked in disbelief with a laugh, doing the weird bro hug thing.

"My kid." Jimmy pointed toward Kody with a nod. "Something about having to support some Eagle-Do's."

"He'll get the hang of it." Kody nodded with a minor grin.

"Demetri, Eli, Daniel sent me to here you g-" Gina came around the corner, pausing. "Jimmy?"

"G?" he laughed her way. "No way! Did you guys finally get together?"

"What? No." Gina blew a raspberry as she hugged him tightly. "He's my kids sensei."

Jimmy looked at Alaska, who was under one of Kodys arm. "You didn't tell me she was Gina Rochesthopes kid."

"Ugh, pretty sure her last name is Lee." Kody pointed a finger down at Alaska. "But, I could have missed that."

"What is going on?" Wyatt whispered over to Demetri.

"Okay, we really have to to." Gina rounded up Eli and Demetri. "Find me in the stands, Jimmy!"

"Will do." Jimmy nodded.

"I'll see you out there." Eli turned to Alaska when Kody let them go.

"I'll be the one in red." she cringed at her own words, getting a giggle and a quick peak on the lips.

"Save me a kiss." Wyatt called to Demetri as he ran after Gina and Eli.

"Will do!" Demetri called from down the hallway.

"Okay, hurry, hurry." Johnny rushed the Eagle Fangs.

"I'll be in the front." Kody waved to Alaska and Wyatt, hurrying off with his dad to find Gina.

"I feel like i'm gonna have a heart attack." Alaska admitted, standing behind Devon.

"You're gonna do amazing." Miguel rubbed her shoulders. "And if you don't, just turn around, and i'll catch you."

Alaska squeezed his hand on her shoulder, nodding her head quickly as Wyatt latched onto her hand a second while the announcers voice rung from the middle of the mat. "And finally...this dojo is making their All Valley debut, though you'll recognize a few familiar faces. Every year, a new dojo rises up the ranks. Does this newcomer have what it takes to win it all? Please welcome Eagle Fang Karate, led by Sensei Johnny Lawrence and defending champion Miguel Diaz!"

The smoke blew in Alaskas face, clearing as her eyes widened, looking around at the stands. They were filled, all cheering. Miguel was some what right, it wasn't as scary now, because her heart was thumping, and as hard as she fought it, a smile formed upon her face. They circled the mat, standing side by side with Miyagi Do.

Alaska looked over, making eye contact with Sam as they both smiled, giving each other a wave.

"At the end of the day, only one of these dojos can be crowned Grand Champion." Daryl continued on, motioning around at the three dojos. "Welcome to the 51st annual All Valley Under-18 Karate Tournament!"

Johnny found Alaskas, a grin going over his lips at the way she looked at the screaming crowd, and it had been so clear that she was living for this.

"It's Karate Time."
