OVER THE past few days, Luna's motivation for painting still hasn't returned although she has found herself scrolling through different websites for inspiration.

Luna sits on her bed dialling the number she knows off by heart now waiting for the line to pick up.

"Mr LaRusso... I said no!" Robby snarls, "Damn. I didn't realise I was a man." Luna responds with a laugh.

"Oh. Sorry baby, hey." Robby says in a calm voice, "Hey Robs. How are things?" Luna quizzes, "Here and there but I'm making it day by day." Robby responds.

After a fifteen minute conversation Robby has to end the phone call due to the facilities rules making Luna sigh sadly placing her phone on her bed beside her with a pout on her face.

"You ready?" Sam wonders walking into the girls bedroom seeing Luna sprawled out on her bed.

"Yeah. I'm ready." Luna responds standing up from her bed and leaving the house to drive with Sam to the hospital to visit Miguel.

Luna groans in annoyance due to being stuck in traffic for two years before Sam and her arrive at the hospital where Miguel's recovering.

"Hey." Sam greets walking into Miguel's room with Luna beside her, "Hello Migs." Luna voices waving at the shocked male.

"Hey. And Hey Lun." Miguel responds gently, "I hope it's okay. Us just showing up like this." Sam mumbles.

"Migs actually knew I was coming to visit him today so..." Luna shrugs taking a seat on the end of Miguel's bed knowing he won't mind.

"How are you? I mean... sorry, i— it's a stupid question." Sam stutters.

Luna chuckles seeing the awkwardness between the two exes before handing Miguel the bottle of coca-cola she brought him from the vending machine down the hallway.

"It's okay. I have a surgery on Friday. Some doctor from out of state... supposedly works miracles." Miguel responds, "That's great, right?" Sam asks.

"I'm not getting my hopes up. The surgery costs a ton. My mom's gonna be in debt and there's no guarantee it'll work, but..." Miguel explains.

"Hey none of that negativity. You're gonna fight this Migs. I'll be here every step of the way as well." Luna utters firmly receiving a nod of appreciation of the male.

"Yeah. If anyone can beat the odds. It's you." Sam softly says.

Without noticing Sam runs her hand along the now scarred wound on her inner bicep.

"Is that from Tory?" Miguel quizzes gesturing to the wounds on both Sam and Luna's bodies.

"Oh. Uh yeah. It's really not that bad." Sam responds.

"Yeah." Miguel murmurs looking away from the girls wound before looking at Luna's scar on her thigh with a sad look on his face.

"Kinda makes me look tough." Sam shrugs with soft laugh, "I'm sorry about that, Sam. You as well, Luna." Miguel voices feeling guilty.

"You didn't do anything. She decided to go crazy." Sam mutters, "Tory's had a rough life. Her mom's sick and..." Miguel tries to explain looking at the two sisters.

"Everybody's got a sob story. Doesn't give you the right to be a bully." Sam snaps.

"Well, to be fair. You did kiss her boyfriend while they were dating. Oh right, sorry not helping." Luna mumbles cutting herself off seeing the glare of Sam's face and the pained look on Miguel's.

"Yeah." Miguel quietly voices looking at his legs.

"I just wanted to give you this. Since Luna gave you the bottle of soda. It's just a card." Sam explains handing Miguel the card she made for him while he was in the coma.

Luna takes in the small smile on Miguel's face seeing that an octopus is on the front of the card.

Sam thought it was cute and would give him memories from their first date since they bonded over an octopus plushy.

"Miguel, I'm so sorry. For all of this." Sam says with tears in her eyes looking at the boy she still has obvious feelings for.

"It's, uh.. it's okay." Miguel stutters.

"I also got you something since you asked me to bring in." Luna chuckles handing Miguel a couple books along with a USB full of music she downloaded for him.

"Thanks Lun." Miguel chuckles taking in all of the goodies Luna brought him.

Said girl stands at the door flinching as hands make contact with her waist.

"El Serpiente!" Hawk exclaims standing beside Atlas— whose hands are holding Luna's waist.

"Let me go!" Luna snarls irritated considering she still hasn't got an apology for Atlas and Hawk going after her in the school fight.

"Calm down." Atlas taunts letting go of her waist raising his hands in surrender.

"We're gonna go." Sam mumbles looking at Miguel, "Okay. Yeah." Miguel murmurs sadly.

"Enjoy that playlist Migs. I'll come back when they aren't here." Luna explains embracing Miguel in a hug.

"Sounds good." Miguel nods.

Luna walks out the hospital room door glaring daggers at the two Cobra Kai boys.

"You got some nerve coming here after what your boyfriend did." Hawk taunts leaning closer to Luna who scoffs in response.

"Last time I checked. I don't care what you or Atlas think. I just wanna help along with Sam." Luna snaps.

"Pretty sure you've done enough, pretty girl." Hawk responds grunting when Luna bashes her shoulder into his.

"And you. You've also done enough, princess." Atlas states smirking at Sam.

"Yo Atlas!" Luna exclaims respectfully knowing that they're in a busy hospital gaining the Teller boys attention before Luna grabs the gum from her mouth placing it in his hand.

"Take that to trash for me. And stay there with it." Luna orders leaving the hospital.

Sam walks beside her with a satisfied smirk seeing Atlas and Hawk standing speechless outside Miguel's hospital room.

✹

A FEW hours later, Moon helps set up a car wash fundraiser for Miguel with Luna and Sam running it just wanting to help out Miguel and his family with the surgery as much as they can.

"Great. Guys, keep it up. We've got a line of cars around the block." Luna voices walking beside Sam in just a bikini top and short booty shorts seeing Moon washing one of the cars off to the side of them.

"Hey, Stu. It's left circle... and then right circle," Sam states using her hands to show the moves.

Which Stu does correctly smiling at the two girls who nod with smiles on their faces.

"You got it!" Sam utters, "Hey, Moon." Luna exclaims happily, "Hey Sam. Hey babe." Moon greets with a contagious smile on her face.

"Thank you so much for bringing the cheerleaders. They are definitely helping to attract customers." Luna states.

"You know you're also looking so good in that bikini. The squad could use someone like you on it." Moon giggles.

"I thought you were a feminist?" Sam quizzes confused, "Oh. I'm a sex-positive feminist. Our bodies are an expression." Moon responds smiling widely at the two girls.

Sam looks at her confused while Luna giggles at her best friend, "You gotta love her." Luna shrugs following Moon towards the car helping the team wash the car in-front of them.

"Yes! Get it babe!" Moon winks earning a playful giggle off the Azalea-LaRusso girl.

"Sam! The news is here. Speak to them please, I'm busy." Luna shouts gesturing to the car she's currently cleaning alongside Moon and Harmony— someone off the cheer squad.

Sam nods in response rushing towards the cameras smiling at them and explaining that the car wash will be ran all day for the sake of their best friend Miguel Diaz.

Luna looks at her phone seeing the Juvenile Correctional Centre calling her.

"Hello?" Luna says answering the phone immediately pressing the buttons and hearing her boys voice on the opposite line despite hearing it earlier this morning.

"Saw you on TV. I miss you." Robby voices, "I miss you too, handsome." Luna responds sitting on one of the lunch tables knowing they have fifteen minutes to talk to one another before Robby's time is up on the phone.

"Robs, are you okay?" Luna questions hearing Robby having trouble breathing.

"Yeah. I'm okay now." Robby admits loving the sound of Luna's voice.

"I've gotta get back to the car wash but I'll come visit you this week sometime. Alright?" Luna quizzes.

"I would love that, baby." Robby responds.

"Okay baby. I'll see you then." Luna smiles ending the phone call and walking back towards the cars knowing Moon will be waiting for her to wash some of the waiting vehicles in line.

✹

LATER ON that day, Luna sits in-front of a canvas staring at the blank white with a deep sigh hearing the doorbell ring.

Sam looks at Luna exiting the studio with a confused look on her face.

"Hey, what's up?" Sam quizzes noticing half of the Miyagi-Do students standing at their doorstep.

"Is your dad here?" Chris questions, "No. He's at work, why?" Luna wonders confused.

"Cobra Kai took the money and..." Demetri explains.

"They kicked the fucking shit outta me!" Nate exclaims interrupting Demetri's explanation showing Luna and Sam his destroyed clothes and bruised bloodied face.

"Who was it?" Luna snarls rushing them into the house to grab an icepack for the injured boy.

"Hawk, Atlas, Mitch and some other Cobra Kai student." Nate explains wincing as Luna places an icepack on his purple cheek.

"Tomorrow. 9am. Meet us at the Miyagi-Do dojo." Luna orders receiving nods from all of the teenagers around her.

Demetri and Chris helping Nate walk out from the LaRusso household mindful of his wounds.

✹

SAM AND Luna arrive at Miyagi-Do earlier than everyone else wanting to clear some things out and make sure the dojo is doing alright before the others show up.

Luna stretches out the back while Sam meets everyone out the front leading them to where Luna currently is.

"You sure about this?" Chris inquires looking from Luna to Sam, "Cobra Kai's never stop training. We have to catch up." Luna voices.

"If that means Luna and I taking the reins. So be it." Sam states, "I for one, am ready to add a few new moves to my repertoire." Demetri says smiling at Luna and Sam who return the gesture.

"Hold on a sec. What if your dad finds out?" Nate questions, "He won't." Sam shrugs.

"He's out of town." Luna states firmly with a confident smirk on her face, knowing that their father is now in Tokyo fighting for the auto shop to stay open.

"Now, let's do this!" Luna demands in a shout lining all of the students up including Sam who smiles happily following Luna's exercises for the days session.
