"Oh, yeah, that's looking good." Tory said as Alexa's nose has finally healed up and her swollen eyes disappeared. "Could have used that as an excuse to get rid of that point in her nose."

"Shut up." Alexa whacked her in the arm with a grin, looking toward Robby as he stretched his legs. "I won't puke on you if you wanna stop going so easy on me."

"We'll see." Robby said back with a grin upwards.

"My boy Rory, he got some free tickets to the drive-in tonight." Kyler walked toward the three as they continued their stretches. "They're going old school, something called Bloodsport?"

"I know that movie. My dad left an old VHS at our place. It was the only evidence I had that he existed." Robby spoke up with a nod of his head.

"That's the one that gets dirt, or something, thrown in his eye." Alexa nodded her head.

"I heard it's dope. So, if you guys are in, to celebrate Lex getting her nose fixed-" Kyler tossed an arm around Alexa mid sentence. "-let's do this."

"Depends on how late I have to work tonight." Tory shrugged his way as Kyler let Alexa go. "My new boss put me on the schedule for today. Guys a total creep."

"You have a new boss?" Alexa popped her back.

"You got a new job? Where?" Robby went on with her.

"What are you two, Mario and Luigi? Non of your business." Tory shot at the two.

Alexa pointed to herself. "I'm Luigi."

Kenny walked in, his gi on after making the cut. "Look who made it."

"Keensters." Alexa spoke in a deep voice, waving him over. "What's up with your face?"

"I was at the high school yesterday." Kenny looked toward her and Robby. The teens shared a look before finding Kenny's face again. "And these older kids started messing with me."

"You round kick them?" Alexa rose her eyebrows his way. Robby elbowed her slightly.

"One guy told me I should quite Cobra Kai." Keenly went on.

"Who was he?" Robby asked.

"I don't know. He had this spiky red hair." Kenny shook his head his way. Alexa sighed, shaking her head and rubbing her eyes.

"We still owe that Judas some payback." Tory spoke up confidently. "For being a traitor and breaking Alexa's nose."

"Hell yeah." Kyler grinned.

"Everyone fall in." Kreese spoke up as they all headed to their respectable spots on the mat. "As you know, our enemies are working together. They are combining their styles to beat us. But they are destined to fail. Because there is only one way. And what is that way?"

"The way of the fist, sir!" they all yelled back his way.

"Exactly." Kreese agreed. "However, that doesn't mean that we can't double down. Class, meet Sensei Terry Silver."

Alexa turned to see a tall man with a white ponytail tale walk in. Kreese continued on. "Co founded of Cobra Kai and one of the most ferocious fighters in the history of the sport. Together, we buildt Cobra Kai from the ground up, and now he is here to help you prepare for the All Valley."

Kreese and Silver turned to each other, bowing. "Thank you, Sensei Kreese. It's an honor to be here.

"With two senseis, you will receive twice the instruction. That means twice the work." Kreese scanned over each of the students. "And if you are not prepared to put in 200%, then you can leave right now."

"But if you dig in and follow our lead, we're gonna take you to the next level." Terry Silvers grinned at the students, causing Robby and Alexa to share a look.

"You wanna talk about it?" Alexa asked, looking through her closet as Robby sat on her bed. She knew he went to have a talk with his dad, and now wasn't saying much.

"Not really." Robby said back, leaning on his hands.

Alexa spun on her heels with a grin. "Wanna howl?"

"What?" Robby looked oddly, jumping as Alexa suddenly let a wolf howl into the air. "Jesus! What the hell?"

"Trust me, it helps when you can't beat someone up." Alexa nodded, encouraging Robby. "Just once."

"Im-" Robby huffed, rolling his eyes. "Im not doing it."

"Fine, keep all that anger up inside until you explode of angerisms." Alexa shrugged in return.

"No wonder you are failing." Robby pulled a half grin. Alexa hit his shoulder harshly. "Until tomorrow, when you pass that math test."

Alexa gave a cheeky grin his way. "If I pass, we have to do some major celebrating."

"What's your idea of major celebrating?" Robby rose his eyebrows, leaning back on his elbows, his head leaning backward to watch her walk across the room.

"Could use some more sunglasses." Alexa pointed out, pulling her phone into her pocket.

"Sunglasses it is." he nodded, glancing at his phone when it beeped. "Kylers here. Ready?"

The pair walked from the room, seeing Deena and Ty in the kitchen. The woman gave a smile. "Y'all heading to the movie already?"

"Have to find good parking places." Alexa answered, leaning through the opening to kiss her check. "We'll be back in a little."

"All right, have fun. And don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Deena called as Robby opened the door.

"Do the exact opposite of what she'd do." Ty corrected them, earning a laugh from Robby as he following Alexa down the rusted apartment stairs.

"Hey, hey!" Kyler called as Tory pulled the door open.

"Hey, hey." Alexa said back, crawling over Torys lap to sit in the middle, Robby circling to the other side to get in.

Kyler and Mikey were overly laughing at the movie, slapping each other and cracking up. "I'm feeling this movie, man."

"Couldn't tell." Alexa said from the back.

"Damn!" Kyler yelled when the guy on the show hit the other in the balls. "Right through the nuts!"

Their laugher was contagious, Alexa trying hard not to die at the sound. Tory seemed to want to be anywhere else, and Robby noticed. "Not into the movie?"

It caught Alexa's attention, looking toward her brunette as she zoned back in some. "Oh, it's fine. I just had a shitty day."

Alexa put her arm around her shoulders. "Let a shitty day turn into a non-shitty night, yeah?"

"Listen to her, she know what she's talking about." Robby tossed his thumb toward Alexa. "I am tutoring her now, she's smarter then she was two months ago."

Tory snorted at Alexa gave an offended look. "Ouch, Robby. That one hit me in the nuts too."

"Hey, yo, bitch boy." Kyler leaned out the window to look at Kenny, who was giving the ones next to them their food and drinks. "What about mine?"

Kenny came to the window. "You said you didn't want anything."

"Well, I want some now." Kyler answered. "So let me get two buckets of popcorn, with butter, five large cokes, two hot dogs, with mustard, no ketchup, and a pretzel."

Alexa leaned off the seat, slapped Kyler in the back of the head. He winced, she went backwards, landing half way on Robbys lap. "Oh, sorry."

"It's fine." he said back.

"But I can't-" Kenny began.

"Oh! And some nachos with extra cheese and jalapeño poppers, all right?" Kyler cut him off with a cheeky grin. Kenny sighed, walking off as Robby got out of the jeep to talk to him quickly. Alexa leaned back in the seat, pushing her hips forward with a sigh. "What's up with you back there?"

"Just nervous about tomorrow." Alexa admitted.

"Tomorrow?" Tory looked oddly.

"Chem test." she said in return with a risen eyebrow.

"Oh, shit. The one that determines if you pass the class?" Mikey asked, getting a nod. "Yeah, i'd be nervous too."

Tory rolled her eyes. "You're gonna be fine. Just focus and don't get distracted."

"And if you panic, cheat off the nerd next to you." Kyler said back, and Alexa fought the urge to roll her eyes.

Robby got back in the car, pulling himself in to fall back in next to Alexa. She looked over. "He all right?"

"He's fine." Robby shook his head with a minor grin. "Just being the new kid."

She looked to the movie again. "You know what I realized?"

Robby hummed as Alexa looked over at him with a grin, their elbows touching. "The air conditioning in here is cooling the air."

Robby went to point out the obvious before blinking. "Does this have to do with science or did you not know how air conditioners work?"

"Convection, baby." she smirked with a nod. "Look at me, thinking about science when I don't even need to."

"See, you're gonna do great." Robby grinned, his smile flattening as he looked out the window. Alexa following his gaze, seeing Kenny's standing infront of Hawk with all the food at his feet. "That piece of shit."

He got out the jeep first, and Alexa following while the others did the same.

"You should really watch where you're going, kid." Hawk glared down at Kenny.

"Yeah, same goes for you." Robby spoke up as he headed over, Alexa by his side. Kenny hurried to stand behind the two, looking over Alexa's shoulder.

"Look who it is." Hawk eyed Robby, his eyes traveling toward Alexa for a split second, only getting an extremely nasty glare in return.

"You betrayed Miyagi-Do." Nathan stared at Robby from beside Hawk. "Traitor!"

"Oh, there's a traitor here for sure." Tory walked up after rounded up the rest of the Cobra Kai's, joining the trio. "And he's gonna get what he deserves."

"And for breaking Alexa's nose." Robby added in, holding his head up a bit higher.

"Gave me a pretty sick concussion too." Alexa crossed her arms as she stared his way. "Feel like paying my medical bills?"

"Oh, we'll find a way to make him pay." Tory backed her up quickly.

"I don't think so." Sam walked up with Miguel trailing behind them. "Not if I haven't anything to say about it. Princess."

Alexa met Miguel eye immediately, breaking away to look anywhere else, but anywhere she looked, she was staring at people she once considered her best friends. As if that wasn't bad enough, a voice rung. "Hey, guys! Can you believe that they have Mr.Pibb and Dr.Pepper?"

They all looked his way, and Alexa had to roll her eyes, crossing her arms uncomfortable and being the only one not bothering to glare over. Demetri sighed. "Shit. Not another rumble."

"Carful, LaRusso. Your mommy isn't here to play peacemaker." Tory mocked in Sam's direction.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Sam shot back.

"Guys, stop! We can't do this." Miguel cut in quickly. "We'll beat them on the mat."

"Oh really?" Robby rose his eyebrows in disbelief. "You do remember what happened last time we fought, right?"

Alexa then looked at Demetri, her tongue ran across her teeth. "I think I remember it pretty well."

"I'd rather not." he mumbled, thinking about the school fight and how Alexa, who was still in her break up era, had given him a pretty bad headache from the amount of times she swung him into the lockers.

"Okay." Miguel glared slightly, nodding his head. "Meet us at the baseball diamond in thirty minutes. And no weapons."

"We don't need 'em." Tory said back with a faint glare.

Robby elbowed Alexa as they turned. "You good?"

"Fine." she said back with a shrug, encouraging Kenny to follow. "Come on, Kenny."

"Set the time and are still late." Alexa looked around as they all walked out onto the field, thirty minutes later.

"You guys see anything?" Kyler asked, looking around.

"They'll be here." Robby said confidently.

"They better be." Tory glared. The lights around the field began to shut off, one by one, but going quickly. Alexa was taken back by the sprinklers setting off, spraying and soaking the group suddenly, but all at once.

"We can't let them get away with this!" Kyler yelled in disbelief.

"We won't." Robby swore.
