royce was laying down next to miguel as her phone rang throughout the room. she picked it up, and saw her twin brother calling.

"hey rory!", robby sounded excited.

"hey bro, what's up? somethings got you in a good mood today", royce laughed. making miguel raise a brow. she did a 'shoo' sign.

he rolled his eyes and began kissing her jaw, trailing down her neck.

"yeah uh, daniel. as in daniel larusso wants you to stop by at his dojo. he says he wants to show us something ."

royce sat straight up, making miguel push himself off of her, "really?, okay. i'll be there soon."

"okay text me when you're outside."

royce hung up and turned to miguel, "mig, i gotta go do something real quick. alright? i'll meet you at the food place we're going to."

"ugh, fine. but text me when you're outside so i can walk you in". royce nodded and changed her outfit as miguel left her dad's apartment.

she texted her brother that she was outside. robby told daniel and ran to open the gate for her.

royce looked up from her phone and saw her brother with an open arm (the other was in an arm rest). she skipped forward and hugged him lightly and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

he smiled and returned the gesture, "cmon, let's go see what he wants to show us".

she nodded and held her brothers hand, she saw daniel standing in front of something that was covered in a black cover.

"hey, mr.larusso", she greeted. giving him a smile. which he returned with a nod and smile.

"okay. my twins!. so here i present you", daniel said excitedly as he pulled the cover off. revealing it to be a old yellow car.

"whoa", the twins exclaimed. eyes widened at the sight. daniel looked over to them with a huge bright smile.

"mr.maygi gave you this?", robby questioned in astonishment.

"he gave you all of these cars?", royce asked with an agape mouth.

"yep." daniel replied, "best birthday gift ever, haven't had much of a chance to get down here lately, to take care of her the way she deserves."

"something tells me there a can of wax in my future," robby informs. making royce lowly chuckle.

"don't worry, we got plenty of time. royce, you sure wanna do this?"

"do what?"

"set up my dojo", daniel replied.

"uh, i cant. i would love too. but i have to go somewhere later."

"that's fine honey." daniel smiled as royce said goodbye to her brother and himself.

royce called miguel as she stood infront of the small diner. she looked up as the doors opened, revealing a smiling miguel. he hugged her as she did the same.

they walked in, royce stopping slightly as she spotted hawk.. and moon, sitting together. that was supposed to her. but it was all her fault she didn't say anything sooner.

she followed miguel to his table and sat next to him.

"so, how are you doing miggy?".

"i'm doing just fine. not really, samantha blocked me today. like i didn't do anything. well i did but that doesn't matter." miguel rambled.

"migs. it's probably because she wants time off. i mean i'd probably do the same. no offense and all, like you're adorable.", royce smiled, rubbing her hand on his arm. making him put his head on hers.

he chuckled a little, and smirked as he spotted markings on her neck, "i like your neck. i left a masterpiece."

royce furrowed her brows, took out her phone as she saw her neck through her phone camera, "mig- whyyy." she whined as she touched the marking.

"just cause i can", he smiled.

"el serpienteee, there you are", a recognizable voice echoed around their table. royce swallowed hard as she put her head down. trying to avoid contact.

"this is how you celebrate a first place trophy?", aisha chimed in, sitting next to royce. as hawk sat next to miguel. gazing at royce quickly.

"hey, you ok?," aisha whispered into royces ear, making her nod.

"she blocked me.", miguel said bummed out.

royce sighed deeply, and looked up. "i told you this already miggy."

hawk looked at her as their gazes both caught eachother. it was obvious to the others in the group that they missed being together.

hawk cleared his throat, "so, what happens when you get blocked?, you counterpunch. expect maybe dont actually hit her this time". he chuckled.

making royce and aisha glare at him. he ignored royce's glare and glared back at aisha instead. royce rolled her eyes.

"it's no use, i blew any shot i had with her." miguel said.

"well. you could always find a 'fling'," royce said, smirking towards him. hawk caught this and figured she was talking about herself. he clenched his jaw and looked away.

"yeah true, but just give sam some time. she'll come around." aisha said sympathetically.

"yeah. what aisha said.", royce said as she drank her water.

"or she won't, you're the champ now. you can get any chick in the valley you want" hawk chimed.

"fuck off hawk. stop being a negative nancy, leave him be", royce snapped, surprising the others.

"nobody was talking to you", hawk said. she flipped him off as he left the table. aisha followed.

"it's okay miguel. you have friends to support and love you", royce said.

"i have you. that's also important to me", miguel smiled as he gave her a hug.
