She trained with the Cobra Kai's for a few weeks, when suddenly a certain blue haired boy walked into Rico's parlour.

"Guess I finally walked into the right place."

"I guess you did, Birdman. Let me guess. You want a hawk?"

"You got it, beauty. All over my back. Make it the most badass tattoo you've ever seen."

"We will, Birdman. We will. How about a classic american style?"

"Sounds perfect. How long will it take?"

"I can do the stencil in about 45 minutes. That should also be enough time for Rico to finish up his current client. We could start right afterwards, but won't finish today. You'd have to come back tomorrow. Is that okay for you?"

"Sure. The earlier, the better. And my parents are gone for the weekend anyways, so I won't have to worry about them. At least not yet."
"That's great. But better not let Rico hear about that. He won't like that your parents aren't on board. Just let me deal with it."

"Thanks, Baby."

"Hey! Nobody calls me baby!"

She didn't think it was possible but he got even more flustered. She felt bad for putting him in an awkward situation, but she couldn't budge on that. Only her brother and father were allowed to call her that. Even when she had no idea where or who they could be. So the rest of the evening they spent in uncomfortable silence. She drew his design, trying to make it as best as she could, while being totally distracted by the boy across the room.

It wasn't until the next day, when Rico was almost finished with the tattoo, that she had the idea of adding his mohawk to the bird. It wasn't her best work ever but he really liked it. So she also did. It really was badass.

On the morning of the 4th or February, on her sixteenth birthday she wanted to go out for a skate when she couldn't find her board anywhere.

"Yo,Rico! Have you seen my board?"

"Well, little bird. I do know where it is, but you would have to come with me."

"Damnit old man. I told you I wanted to spent this day alone."

"HEY. I am not an old man, young lady. And I just couldn't have you moping around the valley on your sweet 16. So now you fuss it up and get ready to trust me. Because, believe me, you are going to love this."

He blindfolded his prodigy and she felt the fresh california wind blowing in her blonde hair. After walking for a short while, he suddenly stopped and put both hands on her shoulders.

"Are you ready, SashSash?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

With that he removed the bandana over her eyes and with blinking eyes, she tried to get used to the california sun. She couldn't believe what she saw. It was a 2007 Dodge Charger. The only car that was better, would be a Charger from the 70's. But she would never complain. She was just grateful enough that he trusted her enough to gift her this freedom. With tears in her eyes, she turned around and gave him the biggest hug she ever experienced.

Only a couple weeks later the Cobra Kai kids had the canyon party. They might be preparing to kill it at the All Valley, but that didn't mean they couldn't have some fun. And while she was there, enjoying a cold beer or two, she couldn't help but stare at Hawk kissing Moon. Couldn't help but think about how weird they looked together. Him being the embodiment of trying to look badass and her, with her perfect hair, the careless smile and better than you attitude. She didn't deserve him. Would never understand what he's been through to get where he was today. She would never feel like he did, back when they bullied his ass every single day. That part of him will always be hidden from her eyes. But Sasha guessed he wanted it that way. He wanted to forget all about his past and just leave the shy, helpless guy, with the weird lip behind him. But Sasha knew better. You cannot hide from your demons, which is why Rico and her were currently working on a back piece for her. One that combined all her past homes and experiences, each and every one represented by a little symbol she picked out. Starting with a skull, looking like a broken Skateboard in the back of her neck, going all the way down along the spine. They were all drawn with a thin single line, connecting all of their small designs.

She was still thinking about new additions to her new work, until she saw the boy from the competition again. Now she was sure. It must be Robby. Her brother Robby who she didn't see in over 4 years. Of course he had grown and his hair had gotten longer, but it was definitely him. She was so startled that she couldn't move. And when she was finally ready to call out his name, he was already halfway gone.

"Swayze! Hold on!"

But he didn't hear her. She tried her best to sprint after him, trying to catch him before he drove off with that princess but they were long gone before she even reached the parking lot.

"SHIT"

Sasha screamed out before she allowed herself to cry for the first time in forever. She didn't think anyone had noticed her running up here but got proven wrong when she felt a gentle hand on her shoulder. Surprised, she looked up, just to find Eli staring down at her. He didn't ask a single question. Just helped her get up, took her into his arms and let her collect herself. She couldn't cry in front of others, but the feeling of his arms around her was so great that she didn't want to let go. After a while he walked her to her car and then went back to the party, where Hawk unsuccessfully tried to find his make out partner again. At least that, and the front wedgie Aisha gave that petty bitch, could put a little smile on her face again.
