"Yeah, i'll be there, I swear." Alaska spoke to Tory over the phone, holding it between her ear and shoulder. She hadn't been planning on going today just as she didn't yesterday, not feeling the need of provide Kreese with her presence with Johnny gone a few days. Alaska held the food with her chest and chin, hanging up the phone and walking into the backyard with a grin, "Hello construction workers, i've brought asian food!"
"Oh, thank god." Demetri complained as he hurried over to her, nearly falling into her arms as he took the multiple tupperwares, falling into one of the chairs. Alaska looked around, finding just five sets of hands trying to get everything back together, "You know, you don't have to keep bringing us food because you feel guilty."
"Can't I just be concerned that my friend, Demetri, isn't eating so I bring him food?" Alaska asked as she sat down next to him, Demetri gave her a look of disbelief with his mouth full, "My best friend, I mean."
"You and Eli still haven't made up, have you?" Demetri asked knowingly as Alaska hit her head on the table with a groan, "I'll take that as a no."
"He's such a ass, I don't want us to make up." Alaska said as Demetri gave her the same look of disbelief, "Would you stop giving me that look, you idiot? If anything, this will be a better excuse for us to finally hang out again."
"Hey, Alaska." Daniel spoke as he walked over with a deep breath, Sam close behind, "You didn't have to do this."
"Dad always makes a lot more anyways, might as well feed the hungry." Alaska shrugged as she pushed one of the forks over to Sam who took it with a grin, "How's Guac?"
"Growing." Daniel stated, looking over his shoulder at the other two. Alaska stood up, waving Robby over as Chris and the small group of people trailed behind him, "A lot left when I tried to teach them balance instead of violence."
"Yeah, not everyone sees it the way you do." Alaska said, squinting as the table began to fill up with the few people that actually stayed on, "I better go, i've gotta at least go in today."
"Wait, wait, before you go." Daniel said quickly, stopping her before she could head off. Alaska looked at him in questioning as Daniel sighed, "Let me teach you something."
"I already told you I can't join Miyagi-Do, i've got to commit-" she began before everyone cut her off.
"Because you can't go against your friends." the five students at the table said, Alaska slapped the back of Robby and Demetris heads.
"It's just one lesson, just one." Daniel said in a almost begging manor, "You say you struggle with balance most, i'm gonna help you."
Sam dropped her fork, "Oh no."
"Oh, yes." Daniel corrected her with a grin as Alaska stared worried.
"Balance, Alaska, balance!" Robby yelled at her as Alaska struggled to keep her balance on the wheel in the middle of the koi pond.
"Shut up, Robby!" Alaska yelled back at him, his hands going up in surrender. Alaska looked to Sam across from her in disbelief, "I'm gonna fall."
"If you don't balance." she said back as Alaska nearly fell backwards, stepping forward and trying to grab onto thin air.
"How is this a smart idea at all?"Demetri asked in disbelief, watching as Alaska let out a scream and fell into the water, Sam soon going under right after.
"All right, that's okay, get back up!" Daniel encouraged the pair with a clap of his hands before looking to Demetri, "She'll be able to feel her partners movement along with having a sense of balance for once."
"Listen, i'm never going to be blind!" Alaska yelled as she grabbed onto Sam to get herself up on the wheel again with a loud huff, "I don't need to feel people's movement!"
"Yes, you do!" Daniel said back as the pair of girls steadied themselves once again, wobbling, "Trust each other!"
Alaska and Sam stared at each other in disbelief before speaking at once, "Not a chance."
Sam stepped to the side, making Alaska do the same before it began to sink down, hurrying to move before falling, hitting her face and falling into the water as Sam did the same. Alaska spit out the water she got in her mouth with a loud groan, "Why'd you move?"
"You're suppose to move!" Sam said back, just as annoyed.
"I can't balance, Samantha!" Alaska snapped at her as the pair got back up again, grabbing onto each other to stand again.
"Just, don't fall!" Demetri tried to reason as the pair looked at him in disbelief again.
"Okay, i'm going to move." Sam said as Alaska shook her head. Sam took a small step, making Alaska began to stumble. The Lee girl screamed as she ran forward rather then falling backwards, attacking Sam and taking her in the water with her. Chris cringed as Robby squeezed the bridge of his nose. Daniel just stared with a mouth slightly agape before they came up yet again from under the water, "What is the matter with you!"
"Never let the enemy strike first!" Alaska said as she shoved her.
"I'm not the enemy!" Sam yelled back at her as the pair began shoving each other again.
"She's too deep in Cobra Kai, you're not gonna get to her." Chris said knowingly, over hearing the conversation Daniel was having with Sam and Robby earlier about wanting to save Alaska before she lost herself in violence, "You haven't seen her in the dojo, she's completely different when she's fighting."
"Not yet she's not." he said, walking forward to yell at the pair of girls that were attempting to drown each other, "Hey! The two of you knock it off! The lack of trust between the two of you is clearly showing."
"Why would I trust her?" Alaska asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, what she said." Sam agreed without realizing it.
"Look, the two of you need to figure it out at a early age." Daniel said knowing, getting working up suddenly as the pair watched with wide eyes, "Because sooner or later you'll hurt each other really bad and then go into adult hood hating each other. And then, one of you will open up a violent dojo that will train kids the wrong way and you'll suddenly be at war once again! Is that what you want?"
Alaska and Sam went silent as they stared at him in disbelief. They didn't say anything, swimming back over and climbing up onto the wheel again with the help of the other. Alaska held Sams hand tightly, steading herself, "Where do I move to?"
"I'm going to step and then you will, I swear." Sam said, trying to gain Alaska's trust slowly. Sam took a small step, making Alaska do the same with her other foot. The technique was mimicked a few times until they were back to back.
"There you go!" Daniel encouraged the pair, Alaska moved slightly to feel Sam, feeling her do the same back. Alaska stumbled slightly, being steadied by Sam pushed down on the side slightly, "Now, you'll have to feel each other's actions, not too much at first, this is just practice."
"Don't let me fall." Alaska said over her shoulder as she took a small step, hoping Sam would feel it.
"I won't let you fall." Sam said, swinging her arm out. Alaska felt it, her own arm coming up and blocking her. Daniels eyes lit up as he watched the pair, seeing them stumble but do the same with the other hand. Alaska turned, kicking her leg out as Sam stopped it, grabbing Alaska's hand before she could fall.
"Yeah! That's what i'm talking about!" Daniel clapped loudly for the pair as the three boys began to do the same for the pair, "Get over here."
"I'm gonna wa-" Alaska began before Sam began trying to get off, both their weights being pressed on one side as the wheel flipped on top of them, the two yelling until they were pushed under water.
"Dramatic endings are her thing." Demetri spoke as Daniel sighed, nodding his head as Robby and Chris walked over to help the girls out of the pond.
"Any second thoughts?" Robby asked Alaska as he pulled her up from the water before doing the same to Sam.
"I can't abandoned them." Alaska said with a small sigh as the pair before her hide their sadness, "But maybe i'll stop by again."
Chris gave Alaska the towel as she smiled, "Thank you."
"You should really consider joining." he encouraged her with a nod, "I think you'd like it."
"Thanks." Alaska said back as she looked away for a moment, "Could you not mention anything to anyone about me being here?"
Chris nodded as Alaska walked off, standing infront of Demetri as the pair knocked knuckles, "I got to go."
"Back to kick some ass?" Demetri asked as Alaska sighed and nodded her head, "Good luck."
"Come to the cookout on Sunday." Alaska said as she grinned at Demetri, walking off as she passed Daniel, "You too."
