"Woah, we look so good." Cullen checked himself out in the picture the trio took once they were all dressed for prom. "Even I wanna fuck myself."

"Cullen!" Robby scolded him.

"Ready to go have some fun?" Tory grinned, getting out of Silvers car. "That car was so sick."

"I didn't know you could even drive." Cullen looked at Robby, linking his arms with the both of them. "I'd have done it but my licenses is suspended."

"Yeah, you deserved that." Robby agreed with a shake of his head. "Going on a car race in your dads Subaru seems likely to get your license suspended."

Tory hummed. "I don't know, i'd have let him off."

"See, thank you." Cullen agreed as they walked in, Tory handing the three tickets. "And the airbag smacked me right on the face, I think I had enough of a punishment."

Robby inhaled sharply. "Oh, god, yeah. You had that massive mark for weeks."

"I have the hardest time wondering if I want to be involved with the two of you or if I need to make a run for it." Tory said honestly as they walked in, the bright lights shining down upon them.

"Well, you're stuck with us. Weather you like it or not." Cullen flashed her a grin with a sudden spin. "Robby?"

"Prepare for minor embarrassment." he warned Tory as Cullen spun her again, ducking down just slightly to go under her arm. Robby ducked under their arms.

Tory laughed. "Give it five seconds before one of you runs into each other."

"Oh, no way." Cullen twisted her so her back was to his chest for a second. "We're very coordinated."

He spun her so she'd go into Robbys arms, dipping her. Robby grinned, grabbing Cullen to pull him into their laughing embrace. "Do you guys know how to do the triangle dance?"

"The what?" Robby looked oddly.

"What's a triangle dance?" Cullen frowned his eyebrows.

Tory rolled her eyes, backing up some as she held their shoulders. "You guys have to wrap your arms around each other's shoulder."

They did so, Tory hoped in the space between them, then jumped back. "That's it."

"That's all you do?" Cullen gave a snort. "Woah, I didn't think there was one boring thing about you until now."

"Trust me!" Tory defended herself with a laugh, Cullen followed what she did, jumping back before Robby did the same. Tory did it again, and they went on a schedule, all three holding each other. "See!"

"I feel like i'm gonna bust my ass." Robby laughed as he leaned into the two. "I can't do this."

"It was fun while it lasted." Cullen laughed, pulling the two into a hug on the dance floor while Tory smiled, forgetting all about wanting to make Miguel and Sam mad. Only, it took Cullen a minute to realize it. "Oh, shit. My surprise."

Robby looked back. "I think we're in the clear. Chaperones aren't by the back door."

Tory nodded, purposely walking past Sam and Miguel with an evil, daring look in her eye. It clearly worried the two, because they followed her outside minutes later. "I just want to check on my car, my dad will kill me if-"

Sam was cut off by water ballons, filled with shaving cream, being chunked chunked at the two. Tory and Cullen threw them while Robby pushed the door shut, locking it so the two couldn't go back in. Cullen laughed. "Imagine cheating on the Tory Nichols, bitch!"

"See you at the All Valley!" Tory laughed, the two hurrying back to Sensei Silvers car to meet Robby.

"Dude." Cullen laughed as he leaned back on the couch at Stingrays house. "Boarding school never gets parties like this."

"If you go back, we're just gonna have to come bust you out." Tory leaned back, the two sharing a drink. "Tonight has been so much fun."

"Aw, im glad." he looked over at her with a smile, grasping her hand. "You look so pretty tonight."

Tory smiled. "You look pretty too."

"Robby, you also lo-" Cullen turned to his right, gapped. "Oh, shit. We lost our boy."

"He was just here." Tory looked oddly, standing up. "I'll go check outside, you wanna take the upstairs?"

"Yeah." he held his hand out, accepting it as he stood up.

Cullen went toward the stairs, making his way upstairs. "Robbyyyyy?"

He opened one of the doors. "Hey!"

"Sorry!" he pulled the door shut with a laugh. "My bad, my bad."

He walked down the hallway more, looking around and pulling on door knobs. Most of them were locked, only he collided with someone walking out of the one at the end of the hallway. "Jesus, christ. Do you not watch w-"

He cut himself off as he stood face to face with his brother. Demetri sighed as Cullen tilted his head to the side. "Didn't know prom was your thing?"

"I'm here with my girlfriend." he stated, trying to rub it in his face. "Yasmine."

"Oh, right. Yasmine." Cullen nodded with an inhale. "The bitch that bullied you for years and constantly body shamed Aisha, literally made fun of everyone for things they couldn't help. You're proud to date a girl like that?"

"She's changed, a little." Demetri defended her.

"Has she? Or did she just get put in her place and is forced to act like a decent person to the only two people that give a shit to talk to her anymore?" Cullen shot back with a judgmental look in his eye. "Even you can do better then that. Desperate is a bad look."

"Like you're any better." Demetri snapped at him. "Robby Keene and that Cobra Kai psycho."

"She's not a psycho." Cullen stated with a harsh glare. "And there's nothing wrong with Robby."

"Right, because trying to commit murder is okay though." Demetri nodded. "Because lighting dads car on fire and literally draining his bank account to try and help you is any better."

"Let me ask you something, Demetri." Cullen glared at hum with a tight jaw. "Your mom runs out on you. You go live with a dad that never seemed to give a shit about you until he had to. Have a whole new family. Expected to act like everything's okay. Never get actual help until you're one strike away from jail time and you still don't get it, you just get sent away so no one has to deal with you anymore. How would that make you feel?"

Demetri stared at him as Cullen nodded his head. "Maybe you wanna think that over before running back to Dad and acting like i'm the monster here. Because I promise you, if you didn't get the privilege of growing up with two parents that didn't run out on you or bothered to care most your life, you'd be a monster too."

Demetri didn't say anything, Cullens face was red as he turned around, going down stairs as he jumped over each one. He hoped Tory had found Robby, and he could find her quickly. He looked around the living room, walking outside to see the both of them mid fight. Only, not with each other, with Sam and Miguel. Cullen frowned his eyebrows, looking back and forth between the two fights to figure out which one to help.

In a small flash, Cullen ran between the two fights, his arms grabbing hold of Sam and Miguel and taking them into the pool with him.

Cullen was smart though, swimming under water to get away from the two before coming up. He went to the deep end when everyone started to jump in, swimming up to see Tory and Robby looking down at him. Cullen gave a small smile. "You're welcome."

"You didn't think we had that?" Tory rose her eyebrows.

"No, i'm sure you did." he nodded with a grin. "Just, think I did it a little better."

"Yeah, I have to agree." Robby nodded, reaching his hand down. "Need help?"

"Yeah." Cullen grasped his wrist, pulling him in as they both hit the water. The neon lights turned on from the pool, someone clearly hitting them as the entire pool started to glow a lime greenish, yellow shade.

"Really?" Robby laughed as he swam up. "Come on, Tory!"

She jumped in, swimming up and wrapping her arms around Cullens shoulders. "Tonight was so much fun."

"Yeah." Robby laughed, kicking his legs. "Let's do it again, sometime."

"Oh, yeah." Cullen hummed as he looked his way. "Just have a prom every night, get in a fight, and fall in a pool."

"Don't forget the triangle dance." Tory pointed out.

"How could we forget the triangle dance?" Robby shook his head in disbelief.

"Shame on us." Cullen shook his head with a smile, looking to Tory to say something before she held his face and laid her lips onto his. Robby's eyes widened as he looked at the two, Tory kissing Cullen again before pulling back. Cullen was the one to gap now as Tory leaned over, kissing Robby next for around the same time she had him. When she pulled away from him, Robby immediately met eyes with him. The dark haired boy shrugged with a grin, leaning in to kiss Robby as well.
