(I skipped "Molé", because there was nothing relevant to Y/N's story.)
You, Miguel, Demetri, and Eli are at a tattoo parlor.
Eli: Sweet. Thanks, Aurora. Tell Rico I said hey.
Demetri: Wow. Man, you are really going all-in on Miyagi-Do, huh?
Eli: It's a lotus flower. Symbolizes a new beginning, which is what I have now.
Y/N: Which by the way, we all love.
Eli: The reaper was a bitch to cover up. A giant flower was the only option. It works.
Miguel sighs.
Demetri: Hey, Miguel. You good?
Miguel: Yeah. Uh, tired from the trip is all.
Y/N: Yeah, you spent many hours in a car with Keene.
Demetri: I've never seen you around him without a John Wick-style fight.
Miguel: For sensei's sake, I'm trying not to let it get to that. Even if he deserves it. Robby says he's done with Cobra Kai. We'll see how that goes.
Miguel's phone chimes.
Eli: Is that Sam? She finally text back?
Miguel: Yeah. Says she wants to, uh, talk tonight.
You and Demetri hiss.
Eli: What did she say exactly?
Miguel: "We should talk tonight." What?
Demetri: It says, "We should talk?"
Y/N: Oh, brother, you're in deep.
Miguel: She's right. We should talk. The last time we spoke, we had a fight.
Y/N: Yeah, but "We should talk" is code for...
Demetri: "I want to break up."
Miguel: What? It is?
Eli: Not necessarily. Moon is really big on communication. Maybe Sam does just wanna talk?
Demetri: No, no. We need more information. Uh, we should send a trial balloon. Something that puts the ball in her court. "Can't wait to see you tonight." Um, "How are you?"
Eli: That's good.
Demetri: Right? Yeah.
Miguel: Yeah.
Demetri: It's gonna be fine. It's fine.
A minute later she replies.
Y/N: She responded! "I'm okay."
Eli: That's bad. There's not even an emoji.
Demetri: Yeah, man, she is not okay. You need to do something to turn this around stat.
Miguel: What do I do?
Demetri: I think I have an idea.
The four of you head to a jewelry shop.
Demetri: I got Yasmine a charm bracelet here, plus a charm for every fight we have. She can barely lift her arm now.
Y/N: You shouldn't say that with pride.
Miguel: Okay, explain to me again why I have to buy expensive jewelry. Maybe Sam is okay, and you guys are just reading too much into it.
Demetri: My friend, this is a five-alarm fire. If anything, we're not reading into it enough. Okay?
Woman: Can I help you find something?
Miguel: Um, yes. I'm looking for something special for my girlfriend.
Women: That's so sweet! Is it a birthday, or an anniversary?
Demetri: He left the country without telling her during the biggest karate fight of her life.
Woman: That's a new one. How about a nice pair of earrings?
Miguel: How much is that?
Woman: The octopus?
Miguel: It's perfect. But I don't think I'm gonna be able to afford it.
Women: Actually, it's been reduced.
Miguel: Reduced? Great. How much? After-tax, $182.
Eli: Do you maybe have one with fewer tentacles?
Y/N: Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm willing to spend some money for a friend.
Miguel: Thanks.
You pull out your wallet and scrummage through.
Y/N: I have $52 to spare.
Miguel: I have $80.
Demetri: Great. That means me and Eli both spend $25.
Eli: Yeah, for sure.
Miguel: Thanks, guys.
Y/N: No problem.
You pull out $52 and hand it to the women, as well as the other three.
Demetri: Oh...
Miguel: Um, Y/N.
Y/N: What's up?
Eli: You sort of, dropped something.
Y/N: Huh?
You look down and see what you dropped.
Y/N: Oh! Oh!
You pick up a condom from the ground.
Demetri: So...
Y/N: Shut up!
Women: Alright, here you go sir.
Miguel: Thank you very much.
The four of you walk back to your truck.
You all get in.
You're in the driver's seat, and Miguel's passenger, Eli, and Demetri are both in the back.
Miguel: So, you and Nicole...
You smack the back of Miguel's head.
Miguel: Ouch.
Y/N: Shut up. Me and Nicole are going further in our relationship.
Eli: So how is it?
Y/N: Would you all leave me alone?
Eli: It was just a question.
You start to drive.
Y/N: She's very flexible.
Miguel, Eli, and Demetri: Nice.
Y/N: So, what about you guys? Have you had s...
Demetri: All right! Just focus on driving.
Y/N: That's what I thought. Not so comfortable talking about it.
