Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai had ten minutes to stretch, rest, get water, do anything they needed to do before their final fight. Robby noticed how glum his team looked and with five minutes left, he called them all into the locker room, claiming he had something to say.
Sonny sat next to Sam, her legs outstretched onto the bench Eli was sitting on in front of her. She had her head resting on Sam's shoulder as she waited for someone to speak and after 30 grueling seconds, Robby was that someone.
"Come on, guys. We've beat Cobra Kai before. We can do it again." Robby chuckled out nervously.
From beside him, Miguel smiled and nodded his head. "One more time. Let's send our captains into the finals." He muttered and Sonny's eyebrows furrowed at his words.
One more time.
This would be Miyagi-Do's last fight as a team. She let out a small breath, lifting her head off of Sam's shoulder to shake it. "One last time. No matter what happens, this is the last time we'll fight as a team." Sonny said, her voice wavering at the revelation.
The more she started to think about it, the more emotional she got. Sonny quickly dropped her head when she felt tears pool up in her eyes and from the other end of the bench she sat on, Miguel did the same, Sonny's words suddenly hitting him like a truck.
"Damn, I guess. I've never thought about it like that. After everything we've been though this... This is it." Miguel breathed out, sniffling at the end up his sentence.
Robby leaned forward, placing his elbows on his knees so he could see both Miguel, who was right beside him, and Sonny on the other side of Sam. "So? How do we wanna go out?"
When Demetri looked to Sonny, the girl was looking down at her feet, hoping that if any tears fell, they'd easily slip out of her eyes. His chest tightened and his mouth felt dry when he spoke up.
"Sonny?"
Sonny felt her heart sink and her stomach churn at his words. It took her a few seconds, but her head raised slowly until her eyes locked with Demetri.
Seeing the tears in her eyes, Demetri suddenly lost whatever words he was ready to say. His mouth opened and closed as he stared at Sonny, finally deciding to just let his thoughts loose.
"Sonny, I didn't mean what I said." Demetri said and Sonny bit her lip when she started to feel it tremble. Demetri's words stuttered for just a moment noticing this, but he kept going. "I was just so scared that MIT wouldn't want me, I tried to create reasons as to why I'd be the best choice."
Everyone looked down at Demetri's words, suddenly feeling like this conversation should've just been the two of them.
Demetri gnawed on his lip, as his eyes moved around the room before they settled back down on Sonny again.
