"You've trained hard. You've gotten stronger, tougher, faster. You've done your best. You're ready for this tournament, am I right?" Johnny screamed, standing on the back of a pick-up truck as the Cobra Kai students stood in the middle of a junkyard. "Yes, Sensei!"

"Wrong!" Johnny screamed, throwing his can of beer at Bert's feet, making the small but jump back, walking into Julianna's chest and she quickly strapped him before he fell.

"Your best ain't shit! If you wanna win the All Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament, you gotta give me better than your best. Which is why, from now on, you're gonna get my worst. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Sensei!"

"Are you losers?"

"No, Sensei!"

"Are you nerds?"

"No, Sensei!"

"Are you sure?"

"No, Sensei!"

Julianna did a double take, not processing his question fast enough. "God dammit."

The group ran through tires until Aisha tripped and didn't get up quick enough before all the students started falling on top of each other.

After that, Julianna helped her dad set up a long board of wood and put it across a big bin of scrap metal. One by one, students walked across the wood, Julianna going first and succeeding. The activity was working well until Lexi's leg slipped and she was about to fall into the pit of rusted metal but luckily she was close enough to the end for Julianna and Miguel to catch her.

After the activities, Johnny started passing out granola bars to all the kids. "You guys hungry?" Everyone nodded, making the Sensei smirk and Julianna was instantly on her toes.

"Good. 'Cause so are they." He blew a blow horn pulled from behind his back and Julianna could hear something running behind them before she heard the faint sound of dogs barking.

"Shit!" Julianna and Aisha screamed, instantly running away. Julianna got on to the roof of the pick up truck and watched as everyone tried to find somewhere to go. Lexi ended up hiding with Miguel when Julianna heard someone scream her name.

"Jules! Come on! Help me up!" Hawk screamed as he ran up to the truck, the dogs not far behind him. Julianna quickly grabbed his hand, pulling him up while he used his feet to climb the side of the truck.

When he finally got up,  The two fell into a sitting position, Hawk's back rammed into Julianna's chest as he tried to catch his breath. Julianna looked over his shoulders to the dogs and saw them fighting over Hawk's shoe. "Your foots not in that shoe, right?" Julianna slowly asked. Hawk quickly sat up a bit straighter to see his feet, sighing when he saw his foot still attached to his leg.

"We're good." Hawk mumbled out of breath before leaning his head back, resting his head in Julianna's shoulder.

...

The next day, Miguel, Aisha, Hawk, Julianna and Lexi were at the movies. Miguel and Aisha were talking about his and Sam's relationship; Hawk was trying to throw popcorn into other people's popcorn buckets while Julianna was taking popcorn from his when he wasn't looking, throwing it in the air and trying to catch it in her mouth. Lexi sat at the aisle seat beside her, totally engrossed in the movie.

"Jesus Christ, you're such a nerd." Hawk groaned to Miguel, ready to throw another popcorn before realizing Julianna took about a handful, throwing them into the air all at once and trying to catch them. "What are you doing?"

Julianna slowly turned to face him, her eyes slightly wide like a deer in headlights as she waited to see how Hawk would react. When he started laughing, Julianna got butterflies, laughing as well.

"I like your sweater." Hawk mumbled, leaning closer so only she could hear him. Julianna looked down at the sweater she was wearing. A sweater he always used to wear. The day after Hawk went to her house, he showed up again with a big cardboard box of all his sweaters like he said he would and she had worn them everyday since. At the moment, she was wearing his brown knitted sweater, rolling up the ends of the sleeves intoxicated ball and stuffing them in her fists in nervousness.

Julianna felt fingers gently wrap around her wrist, pulling in the fabric on the sleeve to rolled them up so her hand was shown. Hawk swiftly grabbed her hand in his, tapping his fingers against the back of her hands as they interlocked. Julianna had a dopey grin on her face as she took a sip of her coke ICEE.

Hawk threw another piece of popcorn, hitting the man in the front row. Julianna noticed the man starting to get up and she quickly, unlocked their hands, grabbing the back of Hawk's neck, turning his head to make him face the movie screen instead of the man, after he has fully faced the screen, Julianna had her hand keep going, wrapping around his shoulders and she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Who the hell did that?" The man screamed and Julianna felt Hawk grab her other hand, rubbing his thumb against the back of it. Julianna smiled at the gesture but kept her eyes on the movie screen.

...

After the movies, Julianna was laying on the couch, humming a song as her dad sat at the kitchen table, writing an apology letter to Robby. Julianna had tried multiple times to try and get Robby to forgive Johnny but he always dismissed her.

Glass shattering rang through the apartment, it was coming from the parking lot where Johnny always parked his car. Julianna hopped off the couch and ran to the window to see what was happening. Three men were outside, smashing her dad's car with baseball bats.

Julianna ran outside before her father could stop her as the men poured gasoline all over the car. "What are you doing?" Julianna quietly asked but they heard her. The smallest guy of the group looked at her, shaking his head. "Little girl, you need to go back inside." Julianna shook her head. "No, no. What are you doing to my dads car?"

"Look kid, this is a thing between the adults, so just back up." The man tried to say as he tried to push her away from the car, not wanting her to get hurt but she kept pushing him back.

One of the bigger men grew tired of the girl and pushed her out of the LaRusso's grasp and pushed her backwards. Julianna tumbled a bit, almost losing her balance but Johnny had walked out, catching her under her armpits.

"What the hell are you doing?" Johnny screamed, steadying Julianna on her feet before pushing her behind him.

"Consider this a message from Daniel LaRusso." The smaller man said before swinging his bat into the tail light. Julianna backed up in fear, as the man took another swing, she hadn't realized how close she was to the car until she felt a sharp pain below her eye. One of the broken pieces of glass had cut her skin.

"What are you gonna do, Nancy?" The man who harshly pushed Julianna back asked Johnny, taking slowly steps towards him.

Johnny quickly started beating up the man, instantly taking him down before going to the next one. Julianna watched the fight, her chest tightening up. She couldn't do anything, these were huge grown men and she was just a high school girl.

Johnny had taken down the second man before going to the last one, the one that was slightly nicer to Julianna than the other two. He started fighting the man who quickly started apologizing.

"Where does Daniel LaRusso live?" Johnny asked, swinging his fist back, ready to hit him. "This is between us! It's nothing to do with him! I made all that shit up. I'll take my licks like a man." The man screamed before Julianna heard someone get up from behind her.

"Hey, asshole! Burn in hell." The first man said before throwing his lighter into the car. Julianna ran backwards to get away from the car, tripping over her own feet and falling down but luckily she was far enough away from the car to not get burned.

"Where does Daniel LaRusso live?" Her dad screamed again but Julianna's eyes were trained on the car burning into flames. "Encino Hills! Escalon Drive!" The man quickly said and Johnny dropped him, walking towards one of the guys bikes.

"Dad!" Julianna screamed, starting to get up but he was already leaving.

She watched where her dad once was, hearing the men running out of the complex and a door opening. "Julianna? Sweetheart?" It was Carmen calling out to her, only seeing the girl staring down the alley but not the car. Carmen walked out more and saw the whole scene. "Julianna! Come on. Let's get you inside." Carmen hummed, wrapping an arm around the girls shoulder, wiping blood off of her cheek from her cut.

"Let's get you cleaned up, mija..."
