"Uh.. says everyone." Julianna said as she walked towards the blanket Moon was sitting on to check her phone. 25 missed calls from Miguel.

"Shit." Julianna grumbled as Lexi looked over her shoulder and sighed. "Good luck with that." Julianna turned around, giving her a glare. "You're not helping." Lexi just shrugged.

"Cobra Kai? You guys won that tournament, right?" A girl none of them had seen before asked Demetri after seeing him holding the Cobra Kai towel. Demetri froze, turning to girl. "The All Valley? The Rumble in Reseda? Yes, uh... We- we certainly did."

Hawk and Julianna stared at the boy in confusion as Lexi cleared her throat, making everyone turn to her. "Yeah... he's not on the team." The girl stared at Lexi before turning to Demetri and walking away. Lexi turned to Julianna and Hawk with a proud smile that she drove the girl away.

"What was that?" Demetri whined and Lexi turned to him. "You're not even in Cobra Kai. You need to earn the credit. Plus, if she only liked you because you're in karate, she's not worth it." Lexi defended and Demetri raised his brows at her. "Okay. Then who is worth it?" Lexi froze, opening and closing her mouth, trying to think of words to say until a voice from behind them made them all stop.

"Jules. We need to talk." Julianna's eyes grew wide at Miguel's voice. "Run. Run. Run." Lexi whispered, grabbing Julianna and Moon's hands and running towards the shore of the water. "Why are we running?" Moon asked, laughing as they could hear Miguel and Hawk screaming Julianna's name.

...

Julianna and Lexi slowly walked into the dojo and could already hear Hawk and Miguel talking. "So, I did a deep-dive online, and you were right. Sensei is definitely Keene's father. He and Jules have the same birthday so they're-" "Twins. I just don't understand why they wouldn't tell us." Miguel said and Hawk shook his head.

"I don't know. But it explains why he's giving you shit for kicking Keene's ass at the tournament. Show no mercy, unless it's his son." Hawk snapped and Lexi cleared her throat, letting her and Julianna's presence known. Both boys stared down Julianna as she looked at them with hurt eyes. "Look I know I should've told you guys about Robby."

"You think?" Hawk asked and Lexi sent him a quick glare. "You guys can be mad at me all you want but if you can just let me explain. After the lesson. I promise it'll all make sens-" "Guys! Have you seen the commercial?" Aisha interrupted, running up to the group.

Everyone forgot about their conversation with Julianna and turned to Aisha. "What commercial?" Lexi asked. "Sam's dad started his own dojo and disses Cobra Kai." Aisha ranted, handing the phone to Lexi.

Before she could press play, Johnny and Kreese walk out of the office. "Fall in!" Everyone quickly did as they were told as Johnny walked up to the front, handing a kid a potted plant. "Stand over there."

The kid did as he was told as Johnny pointing at Julianna. "Grab your cellphone. Start filming." Julianna quickly pulled her phone out of her pocket and starts filming her father pacing.  "There's a lot of talk going around the Valley about free karate. But everyone knows that in life, you get what you pay for. You wanna really kick the competition?"

Johnny turned to the kid holding the plant and kicked it, shattering the pot. "Then you need to get your ass over to Cobra Kai. Screw that lame meditation bullshit. What you need is bone-crunching, face-smashing, good ol' American karate."  He turned to the punching bag and started punching it before elbowing it in the 'face'.
