They had all just left Coyote Creek. Tory had to admit chubbs had impressed her. Or as he was now called, Stingray. The Senseis seemed to accept it so she had to as well.

Miguel seemed pretty down. Tory thought she knew what was on his mind.

"What's the matter? You upset cause your champion title was stolen right from under you?" Asked a grinning Tory.

Miguel gave a very small and very brief smile back.

"No. I let Sensei Lawrence down. I shouldn't have kicked Hawk after I got his headband and the meda.. and the victory"

Tory's eyed widened. Hawk stole the medal of honour? Tory wasn't able to believe that. She mightn't be against stealing tiny things at events but someone else's property.

Even if Miyagi do were the enemy, that medal belonged to someone else.

This is basically why she was insulted when Sam said what she said about her Mom's wallet at the beach club.
