I hope you all like this chapter. :) When you get done reading, please review. Your feedback makes my day. :)
Also, I'd like to apologize for the lacking of the gang in this story. I know for sure they'll be reappearing here again shortly.
If any of you are interested, I posted a one-shot earlier based on Soda and Sandy's relationship. It'd make my day if you guys checked that out and if you checked out my story, Divine. :)
Johnny stepped into their apartment holding his cheek. He was on the verge of tears. He and Lawrence were working on their biology project. Johnny was defending his brother, and he accidentally made a comment about Ali, the girl Daniel liked. Lawrence got angry. He was furious. He then slapped Johnny. Johnny didn't see it coming. He stared back at his partner with an open mouth and wide eyes.
Daniel came into the living room. Johnny quickly removed his hand, so his brother wouldn't suspect anything. Daniel looked at him suspiciously; Johnny hoped he didn't notice his tear filled eyes.
"What's wrong, tadpole?" Daniel asked. Johnny swore to himself under his breath. He avoided eye contact, but he could feel Daniel's eyes burning into him. "Johnny . . .?" he asked again, moving towards his brother.
"Leave me alone," Johnny responded softly. Daniel stopped moving and looked at him funnily.
"Johnny, why is your cheek all red . . ? Wait, Johnny did that to you? Didn't he?" Daniel somehow found those two were partners. He was furious for the rest of the day.
"No, I-I . . . Fell," Johnny lied. Daniel sighed loudly and crossed his arms. Johnny tried his luck and glanced at his older brother.
"Don't lie to me. I know he did that to you. I'm going to talk to him about that tomorrow," Daniel mumbled to himself. He spun around on his heel and stormed off, leaving Johnny all alone.

Daniel stormed into first hour angrily. The fact that Johnny had the nerve to hit his younger brother sent him through the roof. Daniel approached the table holding the Cobra Kai members. Normally, he'd be nervous, but the adrenaline that was coursing through his veins rejected the emotion.
Johnny looked up at him. Daniel looked him straight in the eyes. His friends stopped laughing and waited to see what went down.
"I know what you did to my brother," Daniel said in a low voice. Johnny smirked. "Don't you dare touch my brother again."
"What if I do? What are you going to do about it LaRusso?" Johnny asked. "Oh wait . . . There's nothing you can do."
"You wait and see, Lawrence. Touch him again, and you'll regret it," Daniel stood back up and went to his seat.
Back at their table, Jimmy, Dutch, Bobby, and Tommy stared at their leader, Johnny. Each of them were shocked that Daniel had the nerve to threaten him.
"Are you going to leave the kid alone?" Jimmy asked curiously.
"We're going to leave his brother alone. If my parents found out I was bullying a lower classman, they'd probably make me quit karate . . ." Johnny trailed off.
"What about Daniel?" Dutch asked. Johnny looked at him with his infamous smirk.
"He doesn't get a break. After all, he did take my girl," he explained. The warning bell rang, and Mr. Bender entered the room.

Daniel brought Johnny down to meet his friend. Johnny was nervous. He didn't like meeting new people. Daniel still insisted he went; no matter how many times he protested. They reached their location. Daniel looked at him with a big smile before pushing the door open. They both entered a workshop. Inside the workshop was an old man who appeared to be making jack-o-lanterns.
"Mr. Miyagi, this is my younger brother, Johnny," the old man looked up with a smile.
"Miyagi didn't know Daniel-San have younger brother," he spoke. Daniel pushed the door in and pulled Johnny inside.
"I didn't know either until a couple months ago," Daniel explained. He walked over to the man's fridge and opened it up, taking a can of pop out. "You want something?" Johnny shook his head.
"Daniel-San, you go to Halloween dance?" Mr. Miyagi asked. Daniel took a seat on a wooden stool.
"Eh, maybe if I went as the invisible man," Daniel answered. Johnny tuned out both of them and looked around the shop. It was small and sort of cozy. More than his home in Tulsa was. Johnny liked it. Johnny also liked Mr. Miyagi.
XxXxXxX
Johnny stayed close to Daniel's shower costume. How he ever convinced Johnny to go to the stupid dance was beyond him. Johnny didn't dress up though. He didn't have anything to dress up as.
Music was blaring when they entered. It reminded Johnny of one of the few times he went to Buck's. This music sounded sort of decent. Not as bad as the crap that Buck played. That stuff was downright horrendous.
Johnny stood next to Daniel and noticed Ali approach both of them. She was smiling at the costume with a flower in her hand.
"Help me, help me. My flower needs watering," she said, sticking the flower into the curtain. Daniel pulled her inside to, what Johnny assumed was, talk. He looked around at the different costumes.
There were a couple bees. A group of skeletons. A ninja. A guy was dressed as Spider-Man. There was even a guy dressed as chicken.
The chicken held onto a basket. It looked like he was throwing eggs at students. He was moving this way, and Johnny was afraid he'd get pelted with one of those eggs. He didn't want that.
The shower curtain opened again. Ali stood there with Daniel's arm wrapped around her shoulders.
"Look at this chicken. He's wild!" Daniel exclaimed. The chicken noticed him. He picked up an egg and tossed it towards them. It hit Daniel in the head and dripped down into his face. He pulled away from Ali, who was laughing. "I'll be right back." Daniel muttered, heading to the bathroom. Ali let him leave and tried to calm down. She noticed Johnny and gave him a smile.
"I'm guessing you're the famous Johnny," she said loudly. Johnny's eyes darted around the gym before finally making eye contact with her. He nodded his head shyly. "Hi, I'm Ali." Johnny stared at her and finally started to smile.
"I know. Daniel talks about you a lot," he replied. Ali's smile grew bigger.
"Does he really?" Johnny nodded. Ali reached out and grabbed his hand. "Come on. I'll take you to meet my friends." Johnny followed her obediently.
Her friends scanned Johnny. Neither of them looked happy that he was there. Thankfully they didn't say anything. Ali pulled him up beside her. She looked at them with a big smile.
"Susan . . . Barbara . . . This is Daniel's younger brother, Johnny," Ali introduced. Neither of the girls answered. One of them then opened their mouth to say something, but they were cut off by screams and shouts.
"Watch out! Out of my way!" All of them turned their attention towards the shouts. Daniel came running through the crowd. "Out of my way!"
"Daniel, what's going on?" Ali asked.
"It's coming around," he merely answered, handing her the shower head. Daniel didn't stop. He ran past them with a group of skeletons following close behind. Ali glanced at the shower head before holding it out in front of her. She caught off of the skeleton's feet and tripped them. The whole group fell to the ground.
Johnny glanced from the door, to the skeletons, to Ali. She looked back at him with a slight frown. Johnny turned around on his heel and took off for the door. He had to find Daniel.
Outside, he found Daniel. He ran out into the road and stopped in front of a car. He stared at it blankly; Johnny thought for sure the car would hit him. Instead, it swerved out of the way and hit a car heading the opposite way.
Daniel snapped out of his trance and turned around. He took off down the street and jumped onto the hood of a car that was coming towards him. Johnny didn't know how he did it, but Daniel managed to ditch his costume. The skeletons pushed past Johnny and took off down the road after his brother.
Johnny sighed to himself and followed behind the group. He had to make sure his older brother was all right.
Mr. Miyagi's dialogue was pretty hard to write, but I tried my best, so you have to give me that. ;)
review loves. :)
