Season 4

Chapter 29

Okay. Quick author's note before I start the chapter. I'm really sorry, I've written a lot of these recently but I gotta write one more.

Person on fanfiction net whose username is gtCGO17 (you know exactly who you are), this is for you...

First, you wrote 4 anonymous insult comments that I deleted. Then, when you realised, you decide to write a public one that I can't delete. Why don't you just stop reading mate? You are clearly not enjoying it. I'm not judging you. Just close the fucking tab and stop dissing. Imma leave your public reviews up there, but I stand by the fact that I took down 4 other of your reviews.

I get it, you hate your life. You're a virgin living in your mom's basement and you have nothing better to do than piss all over everyone around you. I honestly feel for you. But I just want to warn you. One day, you're gonna piss off the wrong person and you're gonna get your ass kicked. It's easy to be a dickless pussy and diss people online. Just make sure you don't do that in real life, as you can't hide behind your laptop then.

Why don't you write your own story? I would love to read one of your stories and be as critical of it as you are of mine. I'd love to be proved wrong. BUT SHOW ME. Show me that you're the next JK Rowling.

The rest of the weekend flew by for both dojos. Before they knew it, it was Monday, the beginning of their final month of sophomore year. It was May 6th, and all of their final exams were on, but they still had summative projects for a couple of subjects. Obviously, all of Miguel's friends had passed the year, and none of them would be held back. Even his most badass friend - Hawk - finished the year on the honor roll, the 'Eli' in him shining through.

Miguel definitely needed summer vacation. It had been an extremely long year for him, starting with him breaking his back, and ending with the dojo split. He deserved a break to kick his feet up and relax, but he knew that wouldn't happen. Johnny had already told Miguel that he was going on a strict diet and exercise regimen, as well as extremely intense training, to prepare him for the All-Valley. The All-Valley was very soon. It was crunch time.

Miguel's car was in the shop, so Johnny dropped Miguel off at school that morning, before driving back home. When he walked into his place, Carmen had prepared them a large breakfast. Miguel's yaya was at church that morning, so they had the place to themselves. Johnny kissed her and the two of them sat down at the table.

"Thanks for dropping Miguel at school." Carmen said. Johnny nodded.

"Yeah, no problem. It was my pleasure. Small things like these... they make me feel like a dad, you know?"

Carmen smiled and nodded. She could tell how visibly happy Johnny was becoming as Miguel leaned on him more and more as a father figure. Johnny had been given a second-chance at fatherhood after everything that happened with Robby.

"Miggy really loves you, you know? It's like he finally has a full, happy, normal, textbook family. That's always been his dream." Carmen stated.

"Him and me both." Johnny laughed. "Two years ago, I never imagined I'd be where I am today. Part of me still can't believe it. I keep thinking I'm going to wake up the next day and it's all going to be gone."

"Well, I'm not going anywhere. Ever." She said.

"Neither am I." Johnny replied. Although he hadn't proposed, Johnny and Carmen pretty much knew that they were soulmates, and would probably be together for the rest of their lives. The two of them smiled at each other for several moments in comfortable silence, before Carmen broke it.

"Hey, crazy idea." Carmen murmured. "This is just an idea. Feel no pressure to say yes to this. It's completely up to you."

"What is it?" Johnny asked, extremely curious now. Carmen took a deep breath.
