December 19th, 1984
It was finally December 19th. The day Priscilla had secretly been dreading, but she couldn't let Bobby or her friends know that. Priscilla was wearing Bobby's Cobra Kai jacket, as she, Mr. Miyagi, (whom she thought was an absolute gem), Ali, and Daniel, were getting him registered for the tournament.
"Let's see 'Miyaji', what belt are you?" a referee asked
"Belt?" Daniel asked
"Why matter?" Mr. Miyagi asked
"These open divisions are only for brown belt or above." the referee explained
"Oh yeah, boy black belt." Mr. Miyagi lied
"Okay, you better hustle they're starting down the hall to your left." the referee said
Ali gave Daniel a quick kiss on the cheek and a pat on the back. "We'll see you inside." she smiled
Priscilla smiled as she embraced Daniel as well. "See you out there, Daniel. Good luck."
Daniel nodded and walked to the changing rooms, as Priscilla and Ali started to walk to the arena, but Mr. Miyagi gently grabbed Ali's arm and gently pulling her back, towards the bag on the chair so Priscilla stopped and waited for her best friend.
"Excuse me, Mr. Referee this is not 'Miyaji'. "Miyagi" Mr. Miyagi corrected him.
As he was doing this, Mr. Miyagi passed the black belt out of the bag of and he passed it to Ali, giving her a wink. She smirked as she was putting it under her sweater.
"Miyagi." the referee said
"Yes." Mr. Miyagi said
"Okay, thank you." the referee said
"Thank you very much." Mr. Miyagi said and bowed, then began walking with Priscilla and Ali
"I'm so happy for you and Daniel." Priscilla smiled. "This has been a long time coming."
"Thanks, he makes me so happy Priscilla." Ali smiled
"I know." Priscilla smiled. As she and Ali kept walking towards the arena, she turned her head, and spotted the her boyfriend and friends. "You two go ahead. I'd like to talk to Bobby."
Ali winked and replied, "Okay."
"Hai, Priscilla-san, but must hurry. Tournament start, real soon." Mr. Miyagi said in a fatherly manner, then bowed to her and walked with Ali to the arena.
Priscilla stood there and shook her head and softly laughed. She walked up to her boyfriend and gently tapped him on the shoulder, who turned around and saw his true love. He pulled her into a tight hug and gave her a passionate kiss.
"Hey, we're standing here too, Priscilla." Dutch said. "What about us?"
Priscilla rolled her eyes and chuckled. "Get over here you big baby." she laughed as she pulled them all into a hug. "Good luck out there boys."
"Thanks sis!" Johnny, Tommy, Dutch and Jimmy said in unison then left her alone with Bobby
"Bobby, I want you to be careful out there today." Priscilla said
Bobby smiled, and confidently replied. "I always am."
"I'm serious." Priscilla said
Bobby could tell her mind and heart were deeply filled with worry, something - in his humble opinion - she shouldn't have. "Hey, I promise, everything will be alright." he reassured
Priscilla gave him a gentle kiss, and his lips moved to her jawline, then down to her neck. "What do you say after this, we get out of here?" Bobby asked. "Grandma gave me the keys to the beach house."
Priscilla pulled him into a soul stirring hug, and then kissed his temple. "I'd love that. I'll be cheering for you. I'll be standing on the sidelines with Ali. She has a plan. I love you."
Bobby kissed her lips sweetly, then replied, "I love you more, beautiful."
The couple hesitantly pulled away, and walked in opposite directions: he went to the changing rooms, and Priscilla left to find Ali.

As Daniel was fixing his karate gi, he was thinking about the tournament and how he was gonna beat the Cobra Kais. However, he didn't hear the footsteps of the Cobras behind him and walk into his changing room.
Dutch, Jimmy, and Bobby walked in behind him with smug smiles wearing their black and yellow Cobra Kai karate gis and wearing blue flip flops.
"Well, well, well, look who we have here, fellas: our little friend, Danielle." Dutch taunted as Bobby, Johnny, Tommy, and Jimmy followed suit. "Hello Danielle. What's the matter, mommy not here to dress yah?"
Daniel was not responding, and Dutch was starting to get annoyed. Tommy was laughing at the situation in amusement, as was leaning on the iron fence of the changing room. "Hey, I'm talkin' to you, punk." Dutch said as he pushed Daniel into the leather bench of the changing room. This seemed to get Daniel's attention as he turned around and got into stance. "Come on, come on, make a move!" Dutch said while still in stance
"Hey, hey, save it for the ring. Come on." The referee said, breaking Daniel and Dutch apart
Dutch, who was annoyed, replied, "Right."
"Let's go. Come on." The referee said sternly
Dutch then turned around and got closer to Daniel's face and pointed a finger at him, and threatened. "You know, points or no points, you're dead meat."
"I said, out!" The referee yelled
Bobby, Johnny, and Jimmy left the room while Dutch and Tommy walked out behind them and laughed
･ ⋆ ･ ⠄⠂⋆ ･ ⠄⠂⋆ ･ ⠄⠂⋆ ･ ⠄⠂⋆ ･
Ali and Priscilla were in the arena waiting for Daniel and conversing, while Ali was holding the black belt in her hand. "That's a beautiful ring." The blonde smiled as she held the belt in her hand. "It has to be new."
"It is." Priscilla smiled. "Bobby gave it to me last night."
"The winner of the first match in the open division is Lucas Snyder." The Announcer said over the intercom
"Mr. Miyagi!" Daniel said, coming out of the changing rooms
"Daniel-san. Come, tournament starting." Mr. Miyagi said, and the four started walking towards the ring, and Ali tied the belt around Daniel's waist.
Daniel furrowed his brows in confusion. "Hey, when did we get this?" he asked
"Buddha provided." Mr. Miyagi said
"Daniel LaRusso please report to Ring 3 immediately." The announcer said over the PA system
"Where's Ring 3?" Daniel asked
Mr. Miyagi pointed towards the rings, as they continued walking. "Over there."
"Hold it! Sorry, teachers and students only on the competition floor. I'm sorry." An official said as he looked at Ali and Priscilla
"He doesn't speak English, and I can't understand his instructions without her, she's his translator." Daniel said pointing to Ali.
Mr. Miyagi looked at Ali and said something in Japanese, and the official looked at Ali. "What did he say?" The official asked
"Oh he says you remind him of an uncle he has back in Tokyo." Ali smiled
The official turned to Priscilla and asked, "What about you, young lady?"
"Oh she's his motivator. He needs her to compete in the tournament." Ali lied, while she, Priscilla and Daniel gave the official a convincing smile.
"Ah I guess it's okay." The official said. Mr. Miyagi looked at Ali and said something else in Japanese. "What?" the official asked the blonde
"Oh he says your very kind." Ali smiled
The referee turned to Mr. Miyagi, smiled and bowed, "Ahh, thank you."
Mr. Miyagi bowed as well, then replied, "Welcome."
Priscilla smiled at Ali who shot her a wink as they started walking towards the ring. Priscilla was looking for Freya, Elijah and Nettie, in the crowd she didn't even hear that Daniel was freaking out.
"Oh great I'm dead. I am dead, you told me you fought a lot." Daniel said to Mr. Miyagi
"Fought for life, not for points." Mr. Miyagi replied
"Daniel, everything's gonna be okay." Priscilla reassured
"Daniel, look everything above your waist is a point. You can hit the head, you can hit the sternum, the kidneys and the ribs, got it?" Ali explained
"I hope so." Daniel said
"You can do it." Ali said
"You've got this Daniel." Priscilla smiled
Priscilla and Ali glanced at each other and shared a smile. Ali was rubbing Daniel's arm and Priscilla saw the Cobra Kais jogging and chanting Cobra Kai and They made sure to bump into Daniel. Priscilla felt a slap to her ass and she turned around and she saw Bobby winking at her.
Daniel rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Hey!"
Ali also rolled her eyes in annoyance and rhetorically asked, "Hey when are you jerks gonna grow up?!"
Turning to Mr. Miyagi, Daniel asked "Where am I? Over at this one?"
"Number 3." Mr. Miyagi replied
Priscilla and Ali were joined at the hip. Daniel and Mr. Miyagi walked in front of the girls to the mat. "What's that guy kneeling like that for?" Daniel nervously asked
"Don't know." Mr. Miyagi replied
"Wait. Don't you know anything you can tell me?" Daniel asked. "Hai. No get hit." Mr. Miyagi responded
Priscilla and Ali watched as Daniel stepped on to the mat and the boy on the mat jumped to his feet. Priscilla felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around and saw her aunt and uncle. "Hey gorgeous, we're sitting behind you." Freya smiled.
"Okay." Priscilla smiled as she embraced her aunt and uncle
Priscilla turned around, and she and Ali watched the match with curiosity. "Bow. Face. Bow. En garde. Fight!" The referee said
Daniel got into his fighting position. Daniel's opponent lunged forward, lifting his leg to kick Daniel, but Daniel jumped backwards, landing out of bounds. Mr. Miyagi gently pushed him back to the mat as the other boy got back into his position
"Back on your line." The referee instructed
"Be tough, Daniel. Be tough." Ali encouraged
"Come on Daniel you can do it." Priscilla encouraged
"No point. En garde. Ready. Fight!" The referee yelled
"Come on. Be tough!" Ali encouraged
The opponent ran at Daniel again, sending multiple jab punches. Daniel jumped out of bounds again, grabbing onto Mr. Miyagi as he did so
"Daniel-san, remember you defense. Points will come. Focus power...remember balance make good fight." Mr. Miyagi said while gently pushing him back towards the mat
"Warning for running out of the ring. One more will cost you a point. En garde, ready?" the referee said
Daniel glanced over at Mr. Miyagi who gave him a nod, and Priscilla and Ali gave him a smile. "Guard. Fight!" the referee shouted
Daniel got into normal stance. He managed to move to the side and kick underneath his opponents stomach. His opponent dropped to the floor holding his stomach in pain, and the crowd cheered.
"All right, Daniel, that's one. Come on!" Ali cheered
Priscilla smiled as clapped as well. "Come on Daniel!"
"One more." Ali cheered
"Come back on your line. That's one point, round kick. Fight!" The referee said
Daniel elbowed his opponent's side and his opponent fell, and Daniel won the match. Ali grabbed a hold of Priscilla's hand the two best friends squealed and smiled happily.
"You did it Daniel!" Priscilla cheered
"Alright, Daniel! You're the best! You're the best! You're the best!" Ali shouted happily as she hugged Daniel and kissed his cheek
When it was Bobby's turn to fight, Priscilla looked at her boyfriend as he gave her a dazzling smile and a flirtatious wink. It was his turn to fight.
･ ⋆ ･ ⠄⠂⋆ ･ ⠄⠂⋆ ･ ⠄⠂⋆ ･ ⠄⠂⋆ ･
Priscilla stood beside her best friend and watched as Bobby bowed to his opponent, and both got into fighting stance. Priscilla cheered for him from the sidelines while smiling her beautiful smile at him.
"You've got this babe!" Priscilla smiled
Bobby turned his head to the beautiful brunette, and winked at her, then turned back to his opponent. His opponent tried to kick him. Bobby swept his foot. While Bobby and his opponent were fighting, Lucille came up to Ali, letting her know she was going to sit down. Daniel was biting at his fingers nervously, and Lucille sat beside Freya and Elijah, who introduced themselves, as well as Rebecca and Marcel and the five shook hands
Priscilla turned her attention back to the fight. Bobby's apponent tried to attack him, and, before it could get too bloody, the referee had to pull them apart.
"You're history, man! You're dead!" Bobby threatened as he fixed his karate gi with his jaw clenched. After Bobby roundhouse kicked his opponent, he won the match.
"Great job babe!" Priscilla cheered from the sidelines and smiled at him, while he winked at her and smiled happily.
Next up was Johnny. His opponent tried to punch him with his right hand, and he caught it and kicked his arm then face and won.
Daniel was against another cobra kai member. He tried to kick Daniel, but Daniel won the match against him, and Ali clapped for him with a proud smile on her face.
"Point. Winner." The referee said as he held up Daniel's arm. Daniel looked at the three people behind him. Ali made a fist motion, Mr. Miyagi gave him a proud smile, and Priscilla smiled warmly at him and said good job.
Priscilla, Ali, Daniel, and Mr. Miyagi moved to the other side and watch the round of another cobra kai member against his opponent. The cobra kai member won the match.
Next round was Johnny's second match, and he won by kicking his opponent in the stomach. Daniel looked nervous and Ali and Priscilla just smiled at him to calm him down.
It was Jimmy's turn to fight Daniel. He tried to punch Daniel, but Daniel caught his wrist and kicked him between the legs. Priscilla gave a clap for them both.
Priscilla smiled as she walked up to him. "Hey, you still did great. No matter what anyone says. That's all that matters." she smiled as she gave him a gentle hug.
"Thanks Priscilla." Jimmy smiled as he returned the brunette's embrace
Jimmy walked back over to the Cobra Kais and Priscilla walked back over to Ali, Mr. Miyagi, and Daniel. A couple rounds later, it was Bobby's turn again.
The opponent kept kicking Bobby, and he kept jumping backwards until he was out of the line and is caught by Kreese. Priscilla moved closer to Ali. Even though she had never met the man, she had heard stories, and he scared the shit out of her.
"Go on Bobby." Priscilla cheered
Bobby's opponet tried to jab him with his left hand. However, Bobby caught the jabs with both hands and went underneath him putting his legs around his body pulling him down with one foot up in the air.
Bobby won the match, looked at Kreese, who gave him the fist motion which Bobby returned. Bobby looked at Priscilla and winked at her.
Priscilla gave him the fist motion that Ali gave to Daniel and smiled at him. Bobby returned it with a wide smile. She saw sweat dripping down his chest, she bit her bottom lip, as she wanted to take him in the bathrooms. Ali saw it, and she nudged Priscilla wiggling her eyebrows.
Tommy was next against Daniel. They were both in fighting stance. When the referee shouted for them to fight, Tommy went to kick Daniel, who dodged just in time and switched positions, and just as Daniel went to jab Tommy, he caught it and punched the right side of his stomach. Daniel carried on and got back in his position. Daniel ended up winning the match and Tommy was furious.
"No! No!" Tommy shouted
Priscilla clapped for them both, while Ali clapped for Daniel. Ali and Mr. Miyagi had a proud smile on their faces.
Dutch and Johnny gave each other a fist bump, and the bleached blonde walked onto the mat, and he jumped up and down. Daniel stepped on to the mat, Dutch cracked his neck.
"Fight!" The referee shouted
Dutch brought up his leg to kick, Daniel ducked, making the kick fly over his head. As he went to jump back up, Dutch moved his leg to the right, making his foot hit Daniel's eye and earning a point. Daniel lifted himself from the ground, rubbing his eye. Priscilla held Ali's arm, she held Priscilla's arm as well, as they nervously watched the fight.
"En garde! Fight!" The referee shouted
Dutch moved a little before coming forward to strike Daniel. Daniel kicked Dutch's stomach, earning a point and winning the match. Dutch was beyond pissed, and ran at Daniel. Daniel kicked his chest. Dutch looked at Daniel and then back at her. Priscilla gave him a soft smile. Dutch's expression seemed to soften greatly.

"Hey Bobby, someone wants to see you." Johnny said as Priscilla stood beside him and Bobby smiled brightly.
The beautiful brunette ran up to Bobby and embraced him tightly, after pulling away, she turned to her friends and spoke. "Hey guys, I'm so proud of all of you, but can you give us a few minutes?" Priscilla asked
"Oh, sure. Sure. Bobby, you got condoms right?" Dutch said. "If not I got an extra in my bag."
Bobby rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Shut the fuck up man. First of all, our first time is not going to be in the locker room, second of all, a relationship is not all about sex. Now, get out." Bobby said
Dutch held his hands up in surrender. "Geez, you make one suggestion to someone. Bye baby sis. See you outside."
Priscilla smiled as she turned back to her boyfriend, and rested her forehead against his, then ran her fingers through his hair, then placed a kiss on his lips. "I'm so proud of you. God I'm so proud of you. If you ask me, you're the best fighter out there."
"Thanks beautiful." Bobby smiled as he gave her a look full of pure love and adoration
Priscilla smiled as she moved hair away from Bobby's forehead. "You know it's about doing what you love. This is what you love doing right?"
Bobby looked into her mesmerizing violet-blue eyes, before he spoke. "I mean, yes and no."
Now Priscilla was confused. She thought it was odd, considering he joined the dojo in their eighth grade year. "What do you mean, sweetheart? I thought this was something you were passionate about."
"You're more important to me than karate." Bobby said as he caressed her face
Priscilla smiled a she kissed his palm, then laid her head on his shoulder. "My sweet Bobby, you're everything to me"
"You're everything to me, beautiful." Bobby said, as he placed a delicate kiss on her forehead. "You always have been, from the moment I met you."
"The couple stood up and walked towards the arena together. Bobby gave Priscilla a smile full of love and adoration and she returned it, then gave her a passionate kiss.
"I love you." Bobby smiled
"I love you too." Priscilla smiled as she rested her forehead against his.
The couple reluctantly let go of each other's hands and went their separate ways: he walked to Kreese and the Cobra Kais, while Priscilla walked over to Ali who was waving her over.
"Hey, there you are." Ali smiled as she embraced her best friend. "What took you so long? Did you two go at it in there?"
Priscilla rolled her eyes and laughed. "No Ali, we didn't have sex in the locker room. Even though I wanted to, but we didn't. I was reassuring Bobby I was proud of him, no matter what he places. Speaking of, I have a sinking feeling in my stomach, like something bad is about to happen."
Ali didn't want to admit that she had also been having the same feeling, so instead, she lifted her best friend up, by looking on the bright side. "Well, it's almost over. The semi-finals are about to start." the blonde said as she and the brunette walked to Daniel and Mr. Miyagi.
"Never thought I'd get this far." Daniel said as Mr. Miyagi placed a bandage on his side
"That make two of us." Mr. Miyagi said
"Wouldn't it be great if I won?" Daniel asked
"Be great you survive." Mr. Miyagi said
"Survive? What do you mean survive?" Daniel said
"Hey you sure you're okay?" Ali asked Daniel as she and Priscilla walked up to him and Mr. Miyagi
"What. Yeah I'm fine, as long as I don't move." Daniel said
"Are you sure?" Priscilla asked
"Yeah I'm sure." Daniel said
"Yeah well you gotta move now. Come on you gotta sign in they're starting." Ali said
"They're starting now?" Daniel asked
"Yeah." Ali said, as she and Priscilla led Daniel and Mr. Miyagi to where they needed to go
"Hey, what do you mean, survive? What are you talking about?" Daniel asked
