Nicole and the rest of the Cobra Kai's had been training for the tournament for the last month. The tournament was in two weeks. Hawk had defected to Eagle Fang, Johnny's dojo. Nicole felt a new sense of power being a Cobra Kai. She was learning how to channel all the hate she felt towards Tammy and Brad, and use it in her karate. It was around nine o'clock in the morning. Nicole had spent the night with Robby the night before. She was doing some training exercises alone. She felt Robby's arm wrap around her and grab her.

"I got you." He said.

She flipped him onto the mat. "Not anymore."

"Oh." He said smiling and getting up. "It's how it is huh?" She'd do a move and he would block her. He'd do a move and she would block him. He grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him. He kissed her. She kissed him back. He picked her up off the ground and started going to the back.

"Robby, we can't." She said in-between kisses.

"Why?"

"Sensei will be here in an hour."

He laid her down on the mattress. "We'll be done before then."

He kissed her neck. "Oh Robby." She moaned.

"God I love when say that."

A half hour later they were cuddling.

"See I told you we'd be done before he got here." Robby said. He looked down at her hand and at the ring he'd given her.

"What are you doing?"

"Just thinking."

"About what?"

"How much I want to give you another ring someday."

She smiled. "Are you talking about what I think you're talking about?"

"Yes." "I'm thinking after you graduate college."

"Sounds good to me." They kissed. As they did he brushed his hand acrossed her stomach noticing it felt hard.

"Nicole why is your stomach so hard?"

"I'm probably starting soon."

"Oh."

Nicole got dressed. Robby walked her to the door.

"You're closing tonight right?" Robby said.

"Yeah." "I'll see you tomorrow." They kissed. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Later night Nicole was closing the pizza place. There was a knock at the glass door. It was Hawk. She unlocked the door and let him in.

"We're closed Eli." She said.

"I came to talk to you." "What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know you don't belong with Cobra Kai." "I know how it feels to be there, but it changes you."

"It hasn't changed me."

"Oh it hasn't?" "When is the last time you hung out with Sam?"

"I've been busy."

"Hell, before I switched sides we were friends." "This is the first time we've talked in weeks." "I know why you chose them but Kreese isn't a good guy."

"I chose them because I wanted to."

"No, you chose them for Robby, not yourself."

"No."

"Come to Eagle Fang if you don't want to go back to Miyagi-Do."

"Yeah and betray the only one who cares about me."

"I care about you." "I don't want you to get hurt."

"Eli you have to leave, I have to close up."

"Nicole." He said almost pleading with her.

"Now." He left. Suddenly she felt very sick she ran to the bathroom and threw up.

"It must be my nerves with the tournament and everything." She thought.
