All Cobras, Miyagi do and Moon and Demetri just arrived at the beach. They were gonna stay there for the day. Starting with a few volleyball games. That was Sara's idea. Everyone agreed. They decided for it to be dojos against each other. With Moon with Miyagi do and Demetri with Cobra Kai. When volleyball was over a couple of girls came over and noticed the Cobra Kai towel.

"Cobra Kai? Didn't you guys win that karate tournament?"

Everyone thought Owen or Hawk would answer first but it was Demetri.

"The all valley? The rumble in Reseda? Yes! Yes we did indeed!" Said Demetri.

Everyone had their eyes wide at Demetri. Sam and Moon actually giggled at that a little bit. Hawk was the only one who seemed pissed off though. He didn't mind telling Demetri so when tne girls left after asking Demetri for a possible game later.

"Look at you player!" Said Moon.

"Yeah. If you could earn that Cobra Kai credit that you have no problem taking then that would be cool. When are you ever gonna sign up?" Asked Hawk.

"Well I don't know Eli I've been kind of enjoying the gain without the pain!" Responded Demetri.

Hawk actually froze up for a second at hearing his birth name. He started looking around as if thinking someone special might hear it. Everyone rolled their eyes a little. Though Moon did it quite playfully.

"For the millionth time, do not call me that!" Said an angry Hawk.

Demetri started to get a bit uneasy.

"It's only a name"

Hawk was getting even more angry.

"Ok why don't we take a walk and then come back when you're calm again?" Suggested Owen to Hawk.

"Fine"

Owen and Hawk walked a bit further up.

"What are you getting all upset about? Why is hearing your name so bad?" Asked Owen.

Hawk was calmest around Owen. He had always been calmest around Owen. He wondered why a few times? Was it because unlike Demetri, Owen didn't speak for Hawk back when he was Eli? Because Owen didn't try to convince Eli that confidence was just stupid? Was it because Owen didn't always tell the new person in their group that Eli would barely speak? Was it because Owen very rarely mentioned the waterbed at sleepovers? There were probably a lot of reasons.

"That name was the one that got made fun of and bullied every day" Replied Hawk.

The memories were enough to annoy Hawk.

Owen could understand that. Back when Hawk was Eli he was the one who got bullied the most. Everyone in their group did at one point. Owen remembers how the whole group started. First it was just him and Sara who were both instantly best friends! Then it was Eli, then Demetri, Sam, Moon, Aisha, then finally Miguel. Owen cannot help but sometimes wonder if Eli worried none of his friends actually liked him. That is a big lie. Everyone in the group likes Eli! He may be very wuiet but he's super nice as well. He always let people borrow stuff. He let them come over when they wanted. They often had group sleepovers! Nobody cared about Eli having sleep enuresis. That's what Owen liked about his friends! They were just a nice bunch of people! And one of them is the love of his life!

"I know that getting bullied a lot wasn't any kind of fun for you or anything. But you also got 7 great friends. All I'm trying to say is something that I think you've forgotten lately. Eli moscowitz was not a loser. He was someone we all really liked. Of course we like Hawk as well"

Hawk just nodded at first. Taking that in. Then he spoke.

"Thanks" Said Hawk sincerely.

Owen smiled and winked. Then they went back to their friends. Hawk said sorry to Demetri and vice versa.

When they were heading back home Moon had something to say to Owen.

"Owen I just wanna say thanks for helping out hawk today. And all those other times you've helped him feel better and calm down. As you've known him longer you can do it better than I can! I know he really appreciates it! And so do I" Said Moon. Who really did look appreciative.

"No problem! I know that he's sensitive and that he is still Eli in there. So how is it going with you two?" Asked Owen.

"Really good thank you! What about you and Aisha? You guys are the star couple ever since the tournament!" Said Moon.

Owen chuckles.

"Thanks! Things are going great! Never better actually!"

"That's awesome! I was thinking maybe the four of us would go on a double date? The day After valleyfest maybe?" Asked Moon.

"That sounds great! I'll check with Aisha!" Promised Owen.

Moon smiled.

"Thanks"

At Cobra Kai the next day.

Everyone is leaving since the class has ended. Sensei Kreese is someone all of them are cool with. Not to mention Hawk pretty much idolises him. Hawk, Sara and Aisha get in Owen's car and the 4 of them are heading off to valleyfest. Moon, Demetri and Miyagi do are all headed there in Moon's car. Valleyfest is a place anyone can enjoy! Even if you are just there for the food.

At Valleyfest.

As the Cobras are arriving so does Miyagi do. They get out of the cars and see each other.

"Hey guys! How was karate?" Asked Moon.

"Badass! Sensei Kreese taught us how to do this flip kick thing. I cannot wait to try that out" Says Hawk.

"Haha I'll bet!" Replies Sam.

Author's notes: Hawk and Sam are quite good friends in this version. I know that that is probably obvious but I just felt I should say that. Since they were enemies in season 2 but I felt in season 1 they could have been friends through Miguel.

Unfortunately some very unpleasant people showed up. Kyler, Brucks and Yasmine.

"Well well look who we got here" Says Kyler, who seems to have regained the lost confidence after Owen kicked his ass.

Yasmine on the other hand...

"Guys lets just get out of here. This stupid valleyfest ain't worth our time. Neither are these losers" Says Yasmine.

Yasmine can act like she's too cool to be here, but she's trying to look at anywhere but Aisha. Yasmine has been terrified of Aisha ever since the canyon party.

Kyler rolls his eyes.

"Whatever"

Yasmine gets pissed off.

"You's either come with me now or you can both walk home" Threatened Yasmine.

All of the the good kid gang smiled! Seeing Yasmine talk back that way to Kyler of all people was nice. And someone like Brucks would never walk home when a ride is on offer.

"Whatever. You heard her Ky. Let's go. This place is going downhill if these losers are here" Says Brucks.

Yasmine and Brucks head off while Kyler shoots a glare first and then leaves.

Everyone has a good time and every couple is making out later on. Demetri isn't but later he sees those two girls from the beach and goes to say hi.

After a while Demetri comes back with a piece of paper.

"Demetri what's that?" Asked Sam.

"Phone numbers! Those girls from the beach I was talking to gave them to me! We all have a lot in commom!"

Everyone was pretty impressed. Even Hawk.

"Nice to see that you had it in you my friend" Says Hawk.

"Thank you El.. I mean Hawk" Says Demetri.

Hawk smiles.

Later that night.

Owen is getting ready for bed. It was an awesome night! Hanging with Aisha was great! He was also glad about Demetri getting the phone numbers. He's also glad that Demetri started calling Hawk Hawk. Demetri seems really excited about those girls! Apparently they binge watch Harry Potter weekly. Just like Demetri! Among many other things! He'll have to ask Demetri what made him finally want to put himself out there to ask a girl out after all these years. Well he'll definitely do it next time.

End of chapter. Sorry it wasn't as long as the others. Without Daniel looking for students I wasn't sure how to do this one. Anyway hope you enjoyed the chapter and please review!
