There's only one more chapter following this one. After that, this story is complete. I'm really sad, guys. I really loved writing this story, and I was sad when I finished writing it, and now it's almost time to finish publishing in it. Excuse me while I cry in the corner of my room.

While I cry, I hope you like this chapter. After you finishing reading, please review.

Daniel met them outside when they arrived. Lucille instantly went all out mother mode on him, and to Johnny, it was pretty funny. Daniel finally put his hands on her shoulders and looked her right in the eyes.

"Ma, I can assure you I was fine. Nothing bad happened while you were gone; I spent a majority of my time with Mr. Miyagi," he explained. "Plus, he invited me over tomorrow for a birthday celebration."

Daniel pulled away from her, and she nodded her head. She turned on her heel and hurried towards her apartment causing Daniel to sigh.

"I don't think she trusts me," he said. He turned towards Johnny. "So, how was that horse child . . . Eh, what's his name again?"

"His name is Ponyboy. I dunno, they all seemed pretty happy around me, except for at the funeral home," Johnny answered.

"Well, that's because they haven't seen you in a while, tadpole. How are you handling the deaths?" Johnny shrugged in response. "Are they bothering you?"

"Yeah, they're bothering me. They were basically my parents. They treated me better than my other folks,"

"Do you want to come with me to Miyagi's tomorrow? You know, to get your mind off of things," Daniel said, heading towards the apartment. Johnny followed close behind.

"Isn't that for you and Mr. Miyagi only?" Johnny asked. Daniel shrugged his shoulders.

"He won't care; he likes you," Daniel answered.

"Are you sure?"

"Johnny, I'm positive. Now do you want to go?" Johnny looked at him and thought over the decision. "Come on, we'll have fun." Finally, he sighed.

"All right, I'll go," he grumbled. Daniel's face lit up.

"Great, I promise you won't regret it!" The two reached their apartment and stepped inside. Lucille was busy preparing lunch.

Mr. Miyagi carefully cared Daniel's cake into his dining room. He vigilantly placed it on the table and stepped back.

"Come on, Johnny-San. We sing for Daniel-San," Mr. Miyagi spoke happily. Johnny nodded his head, and the two began the song.

"Happy birthday to you . . ." Daniel blew on his noise maker. ". . . Happy birthday, dear Daniel-San . . ." Once more, Daniel blew on the noise maker. " . . . Happy birthday to you." Daniel ended the song with various noises caused by banging his hands on the table.

Mr. Miyagi sat down and pulled out a present. He handed it to Daniel who looked over it intently.

"Open it," Mr. Miyagi smiled. Daniel followed his instructions and pulled the top off. On the inside was a nice, white gi. He pulled it out and inspected it. A bonsai tree was embroidered on the back.

"Wow, this is nice," Daniel whispered in admiration. He looked up at the older man. "Thanks Mr. Miyagi." He merely smiled and nodded his head.

Mr. Miyagi stood up from the table and looked at both boys. He made a gesture signaling for them to follow him outside.

"Follow me for number two present," he instructed, heading off. Daniel looked at Johnny who shrugged his shoulders in response. They both stood up and followed after Mr. Miyagi.

Outside, he stared at Daniel happily. He made a gesturing sweep towards the cars, signaling for Daniel to choose one. Once he caught on, Daniel shook his head.

"Oh no, Mr. Miyagi, I couldn't," he said. Mr. Miyagi's arm dropped, and he frowned.

"Hurt old man's feeling," Mr. Miyagi answered sadly. Daniel looked at him before glancing at his younger brother. Johnny nodded his head, insisting that he obey the older man.

Daniel headed towards the cars, specifically the yellow one. Johnny followed after him.

"This is a cool car," Daniel whispered. He opened the door and climbed inside. Mr. Miyagi came up behind Johnny and gripped his shoulder.

"You like, Daniel-San?" he asked. Daniel stopped admiring the car and looked towards Mr. Miyagi.

"I do," Daniel smiled. "Thanks for everything, Mr. Miyagi." The old man nodded his head and smiled.

"You go home now. Mother waiting," Daniel nodded his head obediently.

"Come on, Johnny," Johnny ran around to the other side and got in. Daniel started up the car and pulled out of Miyagi's yard.

Johnny blocked out everyone else. He was too busy admiring the car. He ran his hand along the dashboard and smiled.

"This car is something else, isn't it?" Daniel asked with a smirk. Johnny nodded his head.

"It sure is," he smiled.

Johnny sat in the car and waited for Daniel. He ended up taking them to Golf N' Stuff, so he could apologize to Ali. Apparently they were still arguing about what happened a while ago with the country club. It was stupid in Johnny's opinion.

Finally Daniel came back to the car, except Ali was following close behind. Daniel slid into the middle and allowed Ali to drive.

This was more nerve-wracking than when Daniel drove for the first time. Ali started the car and pulled out of the parking space.

"How fast does this go?" she asked curiously.

"Ehh, let's not find out," Daniel answered as the trio pulled onto the road.

Ali ran up to her house after kissing Daniel good night. Daniel got back into the driver's seat and pulled away for home. Johnny was happy to go home. He was tired, and they had to get up early tomorrow for the tournament.

"Are you nervous?" Johnny asked, tired of the silence.

"Nervous for what?" Daniel asked in response. Johnny rolled his eyes; he knew Daniel was trying to avoid the topic.

"Are you nervous for the tournament?" Daniel hesitated with his answer. The only noise that could be heard was the low humming coming from the brightly colored car.

"Yeah, I'm really nervous," he answered after a few minutes. Johnny looked at him and smiled.

"Don't be. You'll do fine," Johnny reassured. Daniel couldn't help but smile.

"Thanks, tadpole. But, hey . . . I want to apologize for acting so bitter towards you in the beginning," Daniel told him.

"Don't worry about it. I'd probably act bitter if some random kid showed up claiming to be my long lost younger brother," Johnny chuckled. Daniel laughed too. Johnny leaned back in the seat and looked up at the night sky. It was nice out. To Johnny, the beautiful night sky was a great way to end the night. And for the rest of the ride, he stared at the stars.
