"Damn it! How do they make it look so easy on Hillbilly Handfishin?" Mitch yelled, another day of trying to grab a fish.

"There's something we're missing." Kit shook her head, knowing it. "Should we throw Daniel in?"

"Kit." Miguel gapped at her.

"Agh! Shit! This is impossible!" Hawk yelled out, making Kit jump. "Oh, sorry, Kit."

"Patience." Daniel reassured them.

"Mr.LaRusso." Kit looked in his direction. "I know you're all about fighting with your brain, and I totally support that, but when will we need to catch a fish if we get in a fight? Is it because we're gonna smell like them and that's gonna chase them away?"

Daniel smiled down at her as he passed. "You'll figure it out. Use that brain of yours. Be the smartest person in the room again."

"Wait." Miguel took Daniels words to heart, looking over as he crawled in. "Get in."

"You wanna get in?" Kit looked to Eli, waiting for him to get in as she did the same. Bert, Mitch, and the others doing the same, all waiting for Miguel's instructions.

"Follow my lead. Walk in a circle." Miguel nodded, waving them to follow.

Kit looked at the fish below her, watching as they all began to swim past the walking teens. "It's our movement. That's why they were swimming away, now there's a lot of it."

"They're going under the board." Eli added in from before her.

Miguel let out a gasp, grabbing one of the koi fish under the board as he held it above his head. Daniel cheered. "We have a winner! Good job, Miguel. Good job."

Hawk began walking toward his car, groaned as he felt a weight thrown on his back. Kit wrapped her arms around his shoulders tightly. "Now that I've moved in with you, do we get to share your car?"

"Absolutely not." he adjusted her on his back. "Jesus."

"I've gained three pounds." Kit said to him honestly with a nod. "I really enjoy eating cheese fries, Eli. Why have I never let myself eat cheese fries so much before?"

"Kit, I love you, but the neck." he tapped her arms. Kit realized they were tight around his neck, loosening them as they walked toward the silver car. "Did you try out this morning?"

"Yeah, I'm back on the team." she smiled. "Moons gonna put me back on base like I was and get me a new uniform and everything."

"Cool, I miss coming to your games." he nodded.

"Yeah, you and Meat should come. In the mean time, let's figure out how to break him up with Yasmine before she starts trying to choose what he wears and make him go on weird diets." Kit nodded as Hawk dropped her onto her feet. "Then Demetri can get a good lover, how's that sound?"

Before she could get a reaction, her name was being called. Looking over, she saw Sam jogging out of the fence. "Sam, hey."

"Hey." she said back, squinting from the sun. "Are you busy right now?"

"I was just gonna go play video games for the first time in a few years." Kit said back as Eli started the car, tossing their bags in the back. "You wanna come?"

"I have to go to this birthday party. It's for little kids but my moms making me go." Sam nodded, eyeing her a second. "I just know we haven't gotten a chance to hang out since everything went on, do you wanna come with me? Keep me company. It's only for two hours."

Kit looked toward Hawk as he encouraged her to go. "I can meet you at Moons after?"

"See you then." he nodded in agreement, getting into his car.

"You guys are going to Moons?" Sam asked, leading Kit toward her house to let her shower and borrow a pair of clothes.

"Moon and I are planning on getting Demetri and Eli together while pretending we're all just hanging out." Kit said back, following Sam toward her back door. "Top secret though, you can't tell anyone."

"Lips are sealed." the LaRusso girl nodded, opening the door for her as Kit walked in first.

"Is my tongue blue?" Kit stuck her her tongue out at Amanda.

The woman's eyes widened. "Very."

"Did we really have to come to this?" Sam sighed, rather be hanging out with Kit at the mall or even back at home.

"Uh, Sheila's worked for us for ten years. She's practically family." Amanda gave a knowing look at Sam. "Anyways, you used to love to babysit Cindee. Oh, Hi!"

Kit waved at the unknown person that Amanda waved it. Sam locked arms with Kit. "This is really not how i'd want to be spending my Saturday with Kit. We have a lot of catching up to do."

"It's true." Kit nodded her head. "We haven't talked since I was a mean person and bullied my best friend."

Sam nudged her quickly. Kit cleared her throat, shaking her head. "Did you know that the average person meets their best friend at twenty-one? The people that we consider our best friends now might not actually be our best friends."

"I couldn't imagine you not being best friends with Eli, or Demetri." Sam said honestly as they sat down together at one of the tables. "You know, when you and Eli were in Cobra Kai, Demetri worried about you all the time."

Kit looked over at her. "He did?"

"Yeah, I mean, he still said some rude stuff, but it was clear he really missed you." Sam nodded her head, exhaling. "Which is, like, so crazy. No offense, but if I was him-"

"No, I know." Kit nodded her head in agreement. "I mean, he forgave both of us so quickly. Demetri, man, I love him. Even after all the horrible shit i've done to him, he still fell through for me. You know how we met?"

Sam seemed interested, smiling at Kit next to her.

"First grade. I tripped on the playground, face hit these horrible wood chips. I was trying so hard not to cry, because it hurt." Kit laughed at the memory, her lips blue from the drink. "He came over and said some sort of spell, it was just a bunch of nonsense, but then he told me he cursed the wood chips to be in pain for the rest of their life for hurting me."

"Aw." Sam gushed with a hand to her heart. "That's so sweet."

"When I hit elementary school, my mom started putting me on all these weird diets and i'd be so hungry." Kit began to explain with a nod of her head. "Every Friday, Elis mom would pick all three of us up from school and we'd just go eat his entire fridge. It was insane but it was so much fun."

Sam noticed Kits smile start to fall, grasping her hand. Kit gave a small laugh. "And then I threw it all away for someone who never even actually cared about me, just because I wanted to be like her."

"You can't beat yourself up for something in the past." Sam held her hand tightly with a shake of her head. "The boys, they love you, and they forgive you. But, non of that matters if you can't love and forgive yourself."

Kit met her eye, giving her a small smile. "I'm sorry I was always so mean to you. When we were friends and when I joined Cobra Kai."

"Don't worry about it." Sam nodded her head, the pair not noticing the pair of eyes glaring in their direction of their joined hands and soft smiles. "I'm just glad we're getting to talk again. Not that I don't think the guys are cool, but I don't think I could handle being the only girl."

"Imagine the testosterone." Kit snorted.

"Yeah, I'd-" Sam began, stopping as her eyes fell behind Kit, laughing so hard. "My day just got so much better."

Kit turned to follow her gaze, eyes falling upon Tory in a mermaid outfit, standing before little kids, staring over at the pair in jealousy and betrayal.

Kit kept her distance from Tory and Sam, but Sam seemed to want to tease Tory. Not that Kit agree with her just fueling the fire, but she couldn't be annoyed with Sam when she knew Tory had and would do the exact same thing. But, Kit didn't want to be apart of it. She already was gifted glares from her ex girlfriend, keeping by the refill section as she sipped at the blue raspberry slushy. She texted Moon, seeing if she could get her a little early.

It wasn't long before she saw the little kids surrounding Tory grab cups of glitter, yelling for the evil witch to die, throwing it on Sam. Kits eyebrows shot up, watching Tory blow a kiss in Sams direction. Kit glanced toward Amanda, who Kit knew had been trying to help Tory. The Clairmont teen gave a small nod, reassuring her she'd handle it.

Kit followed Tory toward the face paint section, clearing her throat. Tory turned around, eyeing her there. Kit looked down at her. "I'm thinking I could use maybe a lobster."

Tory tried to hold back a smile. "Well, we don't have any red."

"Maybe a pink and blue lobster then?" Kit suggested, grinning down at her. Tory nodded, letting Kit sit across from her. "I like the purple hair."

Tory dipped the paintbrush in the pink paint. "It itches."

"What happened to your other job?" Kit asked, feelings Tory grab her cheek slightly to tilt her head to the side.

"Lost it." Tory said bitterly, clearly not wanting to talk about it. "I noticed your mom left the apartment, I thought you went with her."

"No." Kit said back, sitting still as Tory's warm hand held one side of her face, painting the other side with the cold liquid. "I get to finish the semester, like she said. Then, i've got to go."

Tory hesitated. "Maybe moving will be good for you."

Kit side eyed her. "What's that suppose to mean?"

"Get you out of The Valley, get you away from all of this." Tory answered, a small sigh leaving her lips. "Non of this is good for you."

"It's not good for anyone." Kit corrected her, watching her change paint brushes. "Doesn't mean I should just leave. Everyone I know is here, I go there and i'm alone."

"Not for long." Tory met her eye with a serious look. "You're good at making people like you. I mean, you became my best friend the first day we met."

Kit gave a small smile. "At the beach club."

"Yeah." Tory smiled at the memory, finishing up Kits lobster on her left cheek. "I'm just saying, if you're scared about not meeting friends, I know you will."

Kit faced her when she let her face go. "That's not the only reason I don't wanna leave."

Tory stared at her, eyes falling behind Kits head as her face dropped. "Your rides here."

Kit looked over her shoulder, seeing Moon looking around, meeting Kits eye with a smile, waving. Kit turned back to Tory, going to say something, finding she was already heading off.
