Kate was at an ice cream shop with Tory, Miguel and Hawk after training. Tory brought a big ice cream sundae to the table.
"Here's to Kate." Tory said. "The newest badass of Cobra Kai who won her first match today and received high praise from sensei Lawrence and sensei Kreese."
"Sorry you had to pay again." Kate said. "I'd still have a job if it wasn't for that bitch Nicole."
"Who's Nicole?" Miguel asked.
"Some bitch who I worked with at that pizza place on Main Street." "She lied to the manager and said I was stealing money." "I was fired."
"He just took her word for it?"
"I think she had a way to convince him, if you know what I mean."
"What a slut." Hawk said.
"I know."
"Tory I'm gonna get more pop." Miguel said. "Want some?"
"Yeah." She kissed him.
They were getting ready to leave the ice cream shop. Miguel went to pay the bill and Hawk was in the bathroom, leaving Kate and Tory alone.
"Wanna help me get Nicole?" Kate asked.
"What's the plan?"
The next night Nicole pulled into the LaRusso's driveway to pick up Robby. They were going to the movies. She'd never been so nervous in her life. She rang the doorbell. Sam answered it.
"Hi." Nicole said.
"Hi." "He'll be here in a second."
"Don't be so nervous, it's ok." She said quietly. Robby came to the door. "Have fun you two." Sam left.
"Hi." Robby said.
"Hi." Nicole said.
Robby stepped outside. "You look nice."
"Thanks." "Do you know how to drive?"
"Yes." She handed him her car keys.
After the movies they went to go get milkshakes and went to the Miyagi-Do dojo to drink them.
"Where did you move here from?" Robby asked.
"Fresno."
"Do you miss it?"
"Not really, I didn't have that many close friends."
"What do you think about the valley?"
"I didn't like to much at first." "That was before I met you and the LaRusso's." "I feel like I have a place to belong." "I've never belonged anywhere, let alone with my family."
"What do you mean?"
"My parents hate me." "When my mom met my stepdad she decided didn't want to be a mom anymore." "I'm pretty sure she's only letting me stay at the house because she's legally obligated." "She'll probably kick me out when I'm eighteen."
"What about your real dad?"
"He died in the Iraq war when I was a month old."
"I'm sorry."
"It just hurts knowing no one cares about you." "I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm telling you this."
He held her hand. "It's ok." "If anyone understands about family issues, it's me."
"You have family issues to?"
"Haven't you ever wondered why I'm living with the LaRusso's?"
"Yeah but I guess I never put two and two together."
"My mom's in rehab and my dad, is an asshole." "He pretty much hadn't been around since I was little." "He made this half assed attempt a couple months ago but it was all bullshit, as usual." "He treats this kid named Miguel better then he ever treated me."
"Miguel, Sam's ex-boyfriend?"
"Yeah." "We were in the finals of the karate tournament." "The match before his teammate hit me with a cheap shot and injured my shoulder." "He went after the injury during our match and he won." "My dad was there to celebrate with him."
"Why?"
"He runs Cobra Kai."
"He does?"
"Yeah." "Remember Mr. LaRusso told you about beating Johnny Lawrence to win his first tournament?"
"Yeah."
"That's who my dad is."
"Really?"
"Yeah." "He and Mr. LaRusso still hate each other." "So believe me, I know what it's like to feel like you don't belong." He kissed her. It surprised her. Her heart started to pound a million miles a second. She couldn't believe Robby was kissing her. After about ten seconds she started kissing him back.
"Wow." She said when it broke.
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes."
Since it seems I'm writing this story for only myself, I could write an alien invasion in the next chapter. Just kidding. I wouldn't do that. Lol.
