Nicole had broken up with Robby a month ago. She was still devastated but she was trying to keep it together. She just pulled into Sam's driveway. She hadn't been there in a long time. She knocked on the door. Amanda answered it.

"Hi Mrs. LaRusso." Nicole said.

"Hi." "Come on in." She went inside.

"Is Mr. LaRusso home?"

"I'll go get him." "You can sit down." Nicole sat down.

Daniel came into the room a few minutes later.

"Hi." He said He sat down.

"Hi."

"It's been a long time."

"Yeah."

"I'm sorry to hear about you and Robby."

"Thanks."

"How are you doing?"

"It hurts but I'm hanging in there." "I came here to apologize to you." "I'm sorry for reacting the way I did when I found out about Robby." "I was upset."

"It's alright."

"I'd like to come back to Miyagi-Do if it's ok."

"I'd be happy to have you as my student again."

The next afternoon Nicole was at Miyagi-Do, which also doubled as Eagle Fang taught by Johnny. Nicole was one of the first ones there. She began to feel sad, as she saw the spot where she and Robby first kissed.

"Hey Nic." Hawk said coming up to her.

"Hi."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm fine."

Class had just ended for both dojos. Hawk went up to Nicole.

"Do you want to go get something to eat?" Hawk said. "We need to celebrate that A on our history project."

"Yeah."

"It's on me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

After dinner Nicole was driving Hawk home.

"Got any plans when you go home?" Hawk asked.

"I have to study for my science test next week." "I hate science " "I suck at it."

"I can tutor you." "When's your next day off?"

"Saturday."

"You can come over around six if you want."

"Ok."

"How are you doing with everything?"

"It still hurts but I'm just trying my best to move on."

"I know it doesn't seem like it but it will get better."
