Johnny and Daniel may have buried the hatchet but Johnny really wanted to change his car to a Cobra Kai car. Daniel found it entertaining when he saw it.

Daniel: I gotta admit this is pretty badass!

Johnny: It sure is!

Daniel: So how are things going with you and Robby living together?

Johnny: Great! It's amazing how some things can feel like they were always happening when they weren't.

Johnny knew he had to say that last sentence to Daniel. Daniel understands too.

Daniel: Very true. Teaching still going good?

Johnny wonders if he should tell Daniel about Kreese. He decides it ain't Daniel's business and that he doesn't wanted the hatchet to be dug out.

Daniel: It's going good! Classes are filling up fast. How's it going for you?

Daniel: Good! It'll be my first lesson since before the tournament tomorrow. And Sam is gonna join! She'll resume her training.

Johnny: Nice!

Daniel smiles.

Tomorrow outside Johnny and Robby's apartment.

Sam is waiting for Miguel and Robby and Miguel to come out. They are now neighbours and are of course pretty close friends. Sam is glad her boyfriend and one of her best friends get along. Well she's glad all her friends get along with Robby. Sam has always hated when people are mad. She wants friends to always get along. Of course she doesn't take that to heart as much as Moon does. But close enough!

Author's note: I'm not sure if always wanting her friends to get along is how Sam actually feels on the show but I want her to be like this in this version.

They arrive at the Miyagi dojo and see Daniel.

Daniel: Hey guys! Alright! Perfect attendance on day one!

Sam: So what's our first lesson?

Daniel: Follow me and see for yourself.

Daniel leads them a little bit and then pours a bag of sand onto the ground and makes a circle with it.

Sam: If we're gonna play with sand can't we just go to the beach?

Daniel chuckles.

Daniel: Not today. Tell me, do you guys believe that a few people are outnumbered if they go up against 20 people?

The 3 students nod.

Daniel: Well this lesson shall prove how a few people can be as strong as 20. Are you all ready?

Robby: Yes Mr Larusso.

Miguel: I was born ready!

Sam: Let's do this!

Daniel: Ok! Sam and Miguel get in the circle.

They get in.

Daniel: Ok. Face me, bow.

They bow.

Daniel: Face each other, bow.

They bow.

At the Cobra Kai dojo.

Johnny is talking on the phone.

Johnny: Yeah we're always looking for new recruits. Now of course they are filling up fast but we have a 4pm and 5pm class. Yeah we accept boys and girls. Gender what? Ok is this a prank call?

Hawk has just come in and he is on the phone looking pretty annoyed.

Hawk: Oh for god sake will you just stop being a little bitch and just come sign up already? Well then stop acting like one! Look I'll talk to you later.

Hawk hangs up and goes over to Owen.

Owen: Everything ok?

Hawk scoffs.

Hawk: It's Demetri. He's trying to see if Sensei will give him easier lessons and not let him get hit if he joins.

Owen laughed and rolled his eyes. Hawk wasn't amused.

Hawk: You actually find this funny? He's trying to get off easy while the rest of us had to train harder than ever to be badass.

Owen: Yeah but it's not that big a deal. It's a little annoying but it doesn't take away anything from us.

Hawk seemed to agree because he dropped it and went to get changed. When he came back out he called two new students Chris and Mitch over.

Hawk: Ok I'm thinking the nicknames for you guys should be shithead 1 and shithead 2.

Chris: Well my name is..

Hawk: DID I SAY YOU COULD SPEAK?

Owen walks over.

Owen: What are you doing?

Hawk: Coming up with their nicknames. I think Sensei would approve of shithead 1 and shithead 2.

Owen rolls his eyes.

Owen: Don't be an asshole.

Hawk: Wait a minute! Assface and douchebag! Ok those are your names.

Sara and Aisha hear it and walk over.

Sara: What's going on?

Hawk: I'm coming up with their nicknames.

Aisha rolls her eyes.

Aisha: Are you trying to be hated? That's a dick move.

Hawk: Oh and Sensei calling me lip wasn't a dick move?

Owen: Sensei explained all that. Oh right that was right before you came in.

Hawk: What did he say?

Owen: That he's doing it to make us all strong in a sentence.

Hawk: That's what I'm doing.

Aisha: No Hawk you're trying to make yourself seem on top. Maybe you don't realise it and maybe you're not doing it yet but you will be at some point.

Hawk scoffs. Owen turns to Chris and Mitch.

Owen: Look guys ignore him. He acts like he's all hard but he's secretly afraid of butterflies!

Everyone but Hawk starts laughing. Owen notices this.

Owen: Ok I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. Look let's just drop this ok? No name calling and no secret revealing.

Hawk: Ok.

Kreese opens the door. He doesn't like any of the students.

Hawk: Who's that?

Owen: I dunno.

Owen walks over to Kreese.

Owen: Excuse me can I help you?

Kreese gives Owen a look that seems like the kind of look that says "So you're the guy I have to go through huh?". Owen does not like that look one bit.

Kreese: No. But maybe I could help you.

Johnny comes out and sees Kreese. Who goes over to Johnny, out of Owen's hearing.

Johnny: What the hell is wrong with you? I said tomorrow.

Kreese: Tomorrow, today, who can keep track? Am I right?

Johnny doesn't answer Kreese.

Johnny: Alright everyone fall in.

Back at Miyagi do

Sam and Miguel are trying dance like moves.

Daniel: Guys this technique..

Miguel: This doesn't really feel like a technique Mr Larusso. It feels like more of a dance.

Sam: Yeah when are we doing the holky polky and turning ourselves around?

Daniel: Look guys if you manage this nobody will mess with you.

Daniel gets a text from Amanda to come to the dealership asap.

Daniel: Oh I gotta go help your mom out with something. I'll be back as soon as I can. Robby take turns with them.

Back to Cobra Kai.

Johnny: Alright class this is Mr Kreese. But he is just an observer. Just act like he's not even here.

Kreese doesn't respond to this.

Johnny: Mr Carroll warm them up.

Owen: Yes Sensei.

Owen bows to Johnny, Kreese, then the students. They all bow back to him.

Owen: Fighting positions.

They all get in the fighting positions.

Owen: Jab punch, hiyah

The students do that.

Owen: Force strike, hiyah

The students do that.

Owen: Lep sweep, hiyah

The students do that.

Owen and the students practise this for 2 for minutes.

Johnny: Alright that's enough. Good job Carroll. Fall in.

Owen: Yes Sensei.

Owen falls in.

Johnny: Ok. You all probably might think that after winning the all valley tournament that you can beat anyone so easily. It's easy for that to go to your head. I've been there. But winning one championship don't mean squat. You need to keep moving forward. So the first thing you'll do is fight someone out of your league. Bert, Hawk, up front on the mat.

Bert and Hawk get on the mat.

Johnny: Alright listen up. Bert you went down without a challenge at the tournament.

Bert didn't like hearing that.

Johnny: You're opponent was twice your size. You need to keep moving forward in that area to improve and possibly take down an opponent twice your size. So you and Hawk will be sparring partners for a while. Is that understood you both?

Bert and Hawk: Yes Sensei.

Johnny: Good. Face me, bow, face each other, bow.

They do that.

Johnny: On guard, fight.

Bert tries to kick Hawk but Hawk blocks and kicks Bert onto the ground very hard. Kreese is impressed.

Johnny: One point Hawk.

Bert gets back up.

Johnny: On guard, fight.

Bert tries to sweep Hawk's leg but Hawk blocks that and then punches Bert to knock him down.

Johnny: That's two points for Hawk.

Bert is pissed off but gets back up.

Johnny: Ready and fight.

Hawk succeeds in sweeping Bert's leg which gets Bert on the ground and then Hawk kicks his stomach.

Johnny: 3 points Hawk. Winner.

Hawk feels very powerful right now and Bert gets up.

Johnny: Alright you two are gonna be sparring together but remember, don't get cocky Hawk. Don't give up Bert.

After class ends.

Everyone gets changed and is on their way leaving. After Owen gets changed, Kreese walks up to him.

Kreese: You're good at leading drills Mr Carroll!

Owen isn't sure what to say to this man.

Owen: Thank you.

Kreese: Almost as strong as back when your Sensei was my student.

Owen: Wait, you were Sensei's Sensei?

Kreese: You better believe it kid! I tell you I never trained a tougher student in my whole life. Nobody would be able to do the job like he could.

Owen: Sensei Lawrence is awesome!

Kreese: He is indeed. Right well I will see you tomorrow. Bright and early.

Owen: Cool.

Owen heads out. Johnny was watching the whole thing. Kreese just now notices.

Kreese: He's a good kid Johnny! I won't lie. He reminds me of you.

Johnny: Carroll is definitely a good kid.

Kreese: Anyway I better get moving. I'm hoping I can come to tomorrow's lessom?

Johnny thinks for a bit.

Johnny: Fine. Just keep track this time.

Kreese smiles and leaves.

The next day, at Miyagi do.

The 3 students arrive. They see Daniel is out back at a pond.

Daniel: Hey guys. Come here. Mr Miyagi built this pond a few years before he died. He said it was a monument to balance. But today, it is not going to balance bonsai's. It's gonna help the 3 of you learn the wheel technique. Hop in.

None of the students look happy to hear this.

Miguel: You want us to get in there?

Daniel: I do. Maybe just two at a time though. Sam and Robby first.

Robby: You could have told us to bring our swimsuits.

Daniel: Come on Robby a little water never hurt anyone.

Back to Cobra Kai.

All students are sparring. They are all more or less evenly matched. Except for Bert and Hawk. Hawk is owning Bert. But Bert refuses to give up which gains him respect from Hawk. All of the sparring goes on for 20 more minutes.

Johnny: Alright guys that's enough. All of you did a good job. There's room for a lot of improvement though. But good work. Class dismissed.

Back to Miyagi do.

Sam, Robby and Miguel have all tried the wheel technique. They are all soaking wet but proud. Sam gives the boys a ride home after they're all dry.

Sam: Well that lesson actually was great!

Miguel: Yeah. I think we finally got it.

Sam giggles.

Sam: So Miguel how is it going with you and Sara?

Miguel: Things are going really well! What about you two? Told Mr Larusso yet?

Sam: We plan to. I just don't know how Dad would feel. I know he'd be cool but I'm pretty sure he'd be cool!

Robby: Me tol!

Later that night at Cobra Kai.

It's just Johnny and Kreese there.

Kreese: You really are a good teacher Johnny. Having that tiny kid against Hawk really is a good lesson. Especially with what you believe with keep moving forward.

Johnny: I know what I'm doing.

Kreese: I didn't say you didn't. How about we get a couple of beers on me?

Johnny: Nah I'm good.

Kreese: Come on. You can walk me through tomorrow's lesson.

Johnny: Oh so you're coming back tomorrow huh?

Kreese: As long as that's ok with you.

Johnny shrugs. Nothing bad has happened with Kreese yet.

Johnny: Alright. Let's go get them beers.

Kreese: Great! I just need to make a quick call first.

Kreese goes to the bathroom and gets out his phone and goes to contacts and clicks on the name Terry.

Kreese: Hey Terry! Things are going well so far. Sending in your nephew Mitch to spy on this place and have him pretend to not know karate in case didn't Johnny didn't let me back in was a great idea!

Terry: I told you it would work John! You trained me and now you train my nephew!

Kreese: Indeed! I'll let you know how he progresses later.

Terry: Sounds great!

Kreese smiles.

End of episode. Let me know what you think of this surprising twist.
