Johnny and Miguel made their way through the skatepark. They had just gotten back from the school as they were trying to find girls for the karate tournament. They needed this actually Johnny needed this.

If they couldn’t find girl(s) to join their dojo or else they would be in deep shit and not be in the tournament at all. Miguel didn’t want that, he wanted to compete as he was the all valley champion the year before. He also wanted it to get rid of Cobra Kai since they were getting bigger with Silver coming in.

Since Johnny and Daniel made that deal with Silver and Kreese that if Cobra Kai won they would have to shut down both of their dojos. Miguel didn’t want that for Johnny or for his training. He still had a lot of things to learn even though he was the champ.

At least that is what Johnny told him.

“Sensei I just don’t get why we are in a skatepark,” Miguel questioned as they walked around people who were skating and giving them weird looks.

Probably because they weren’t skating and just walking around. Probably thought they were weirdos.

“Skating is badass and people who do that are already used to pain so if I could find a girl that’s here and is willing to hear me out we could find our girl champ,” Johnny explained as he looked around to find any girls.

“What does skating have to do with karate? They’re not the same thing,” Miguel asks, putting his hands into the pocket of his jacket.

“They aren’t but these people they do tricks and like I said before they know what pain is, so that means karate won’t be anything different,” Johnny says.

“There’s not any fighting in skating Sensei,” Miguel says.

“There was back in my day, these people can be crazy sometimes and that is exactly what I need for the girl champ,” Johnny scoffs.

“Hey guys watch out,” Y/N shouts as she comes in skating behind him but before they could do anything she ran into Miguel knocking the both of them down. “Great,” She mutters as she was on top of the boy.

She steadied her hands as she got up and held her hand out for Miguel. He blushed when he realized who it was. She was in his math class and once had a crush on her when he wasn’t with Sam or Tory. He grabbed and got up as well.

“Sorry about that but you guys should know at a skate park you should be skating,” Y/N explains as she points to her feet where she was wearing roller blades.

Before Miguel could say anything Johnny butt in.

“Hey shouldn't you be wearing a helmet, elbow pads, all that kind of stuff,” Johnny asks as he holds the flyers for his dojo.

“I don’t need them. I've been doing this for years and if I get hurt I just get back into the game,” Y/N explains as she looks at the middle aged man. “Wait, who are you?,” She questions before looking at Miguel. “I know him, I don't know you.”

“Have you ever thought about trying out for karate not only would it make you more badass, you can actually learn how to defend yourself,” Johnny tries to sell with a smile on his face.

“I don’t know, I really don’t feel like getting my ass kicked by a bunch of dudes from my high school,” Y/N explained as she kept herself steady on the pavement.

“We need more badass chicks in this world and I am willing to teach you how to be that,” Johnny explains but still sees a tentative look on her face. “Okay it can also get you into shape like Miguel here come on Miguel take your shirt off and show her all the progress you made,” He says using his last attempt.

“What,” Y/N says in shock.

“I am not doing that, Sensei,” Miguel says at the same time as her.

“I mean it wouldn’t be a bad sight to look at,” Y/N teases looking at Miguel as he feels himself get more shy. “But don’t worry I don’t need you doing that,” She says and gives him a little smile.

“Are you willing to try your hand at karate then,” Johnny interrupts as he feels himself start to get more and more annoyed.

“And this I won’t have to do some weird fight to do this because right now I can’t do that,” Y/N questions.

“Of course not, he teaches you how to fight and defend yourself,” Miguel reassures her, giving her arm a squeeze as she gives him a tiny smile, her heart beating faster and faster.

“Who knows you might be this year's all valley champion and that’s something you’d like right,” Johnny asks.

“It does sound good and I would like to learn how to defend myself, there are some weirdos in this world,” Y/N says before looking at Johnny. “Sure, I’ll come by tomorrow but just take it easy on me,” She says.

“No promises,” Johnny grins as he gives her the flier. “Tomorrow at 4,” He says. She nods as she skates a way.

“See you in school tomorrow,” Miguel awkwardly shouts, making her turn around and give him a smile and two thumbs up.

“You could try hiding the fact that you like her,” Johnny mutters as he felt more confident on how they could win.

“Was I that obvious,” Miguel asks as he feels embarrassed.

“You want the truth or the lie.”

“Truth.”

“Anyone in a 10 mile radius could see that you liked her.”

She met Giselle at one of her favorite local dives, after narrowly escaping a brawl she started (whoops) and having to protect the wayward (and frankly, lost looking) half-vampire with said blue flames. This seemed to immediately catch the other girl’s attention and she would not leave her alone about it, following her all the way to a second bar like a loyal puppy and asking a million questions about it the whole way. A couple more drinks and demonstrations later, Giselle confided in her that she’d always been jealous of the Moroi’s magical abilities, not having any herself. She’d mentioned always wanting to be accepted into their universities and imagined what it would be like to study magic and at least TRY to see if she could attempt it... I mean she is HALF vampire after all, there must be some magic lying dormant in her veins, right? Right?? Just to shut her up, but mostly as a joke, Esme had suggested that they switch places and would just “let her take all her classes for her” if she ever found herself enrolled. The next few hours were spent trying to calm down a very drunk and extremely determined Dhampir from creating and enacting a plan to do just that. It seemed though, that whatever cockamamie scheme they’d come up with that night had actually worked, and next thing she knew, she found herself attending vampire college with a new “bodyguard” and budding BFF. One who can’t stop taking in everything with a look of pure awe and has somehow already covered their dorm room in human movie posters and potted cacti plants with bizzare actor names from movies she’s never seen... It’s almost endearing. However, their switcheroo plan is working maybe a little too well, seeing as they’ve run into some unforeseen attention from other clans, but none of it for the reasons they’d expect.

Esme was sure everyone there would instantly peg her as the Moroi she is, knowing how famous her family claims to be, but it seems that as long as she keeps the blue flames and other elemental magic under wraps, everyone takes her claiming to be the Dhampir bodyguard of Giselle at face value. Guess it helps to be the black sheep no one wants to talk about sometimes... The only real issue is when she has to go outside in full sunlight but... that’s a bridge they cross when they come to it. Otherwise, she’s been enjoying the relative freedom she gets from training alongside the other bodyguards that reside with their Moroi counterparts, bonding with the group and finally feeling like herself for the first time around other vampires.

Giselle, on the other hand, is finding herself quite the target of another kind of controversy. She expected to be outed the second it was clear that she didn’t have any type of powers, but the administration just took that as a sign she’s an embarrassingly late bloomer, and put her into a special study program. She’s been a little isolated from the general population that way, but it’s to her advantage, since no one else knows she can’t really do magic. What they do know, however, is she’s a new and unknown Moroi face in their elite world, and everyone is deathly curious about her. Including a new transfer student, Tulio, who seems to be getting awfully friendly for a guy who has little reason to be around her. Esme picked up on “no-touch” vibes right away, and made it her mission, as the supposed bodyguard, to scare him away. What she didn’t account for was just how devastatingly charming the fucker would be. Or how much chemistry they’d actually have... This is going to be all the more heartbreaking when the girls learn of his true intentions as a spy for the infamous Victor Dashkov, who is still out and about doin his weird evil vampire deeds (may or may not be played by Frollo here...). That being said, Tulio seems increasingly conflicted about doing his job as his feelings for the firey Esme continue to grow- something he did not expect, considering she can be such a pest! Will Tulio go through with his two-timing trials? Will Esme figure out why everyone seems so obsessed with Giselle? And will Giselle ever develop a single magic ability in time for the school’s very public showcase? Or more importantly, find a date to its accompanying ball?? Just how long do these two think they can keep fooling the entire vampire world about their real identities?
