I figured since it's Thursday, I'd upload the final chapter. I'm kind of sad, but I'm also happy because that means I can start the sequel. I came up with a couple ideas, and there's one I'm leaning towards (I'll probably do the one I'm leaning towards), but I want to know what you guys would like to see happen in the next fanfic. The ideas will be listed at the bottom, and to vote for one, you'll have to go to my profile and vote there. Please DO NOT list your answer in a review. I will not count it if you do. Please go vote on the poll, it'll take a couple minutes, I promise. :)

I really hope you like the last chapter, even though I'd say it's pretty predictable. I was thinking, and I've decided that I will suck it up, and change this to a crossover story. Anyway, when you get done reading, please review! If a lot of people review, I'll post the first chapter of the sequel on Monday (the 25th) since it's the 30 year anniversary for the movie. :)

The entire LaRusso family was nervous the next morning. Lucille was the worst. She tried several times to talk Daniel out of doing it. No matter what she said, Daniel told her he was doing this tournament.

Mr. Miyagi arrived at the apartment around 8:15. He agreed to take Daniel and Johnny. Lucille had to go into work for a couple hours. But as soon as she was done there, she promised she come watch Daniel.

Lucille kissed her kids good-bye and thanked Mr. Miyagi before hurrying out the door. Mr. Miyagi looked at Daniel and smiled.

"You ready, Daniel-San?" he asked. Daniel finished brushing his teeth and nodded his head. "Where Johnny-San?"

"I think he's getting dressed," Daniel asked, wiping his mouth off. Johnny reentered the living room with his jean jacket draped over his arm.

"Is it time to leave?" he asked the older men. They each nodded, and Johnny went to slip his shoes on.

Johnny followed Daniel and Mr. Miyagi down to Daniel's car. Daniel got into the driver's seat, and Mr. Miyagi claimed the passenger seat, so Johnny got in the back. There was no way he was sitting in the middle. From the looks of it last night, the middle was cramped.

Everyone buckled up, and they began the forty-five minute drive to the tournament. Johnny watched the scenery, and he wondered to himself how Ponyboy was doing.

"You know directions, Daniel-San?" Miyagi asked. Daniel shook his head.

"No, I was hoping you could give them to me," he answered. Johnny sighed and waited for them to get lost. With Daniel, it shouldn't be too long.

With six boys, the mourning process doesn't last long. A couple days had passed since Johnny left, and the boys were already back to themselves. It was like nothing bad had even happened.

Sure they were still upset about the loss of the Curtis parents, but they tried to push that aside. They were tired of the depressing atmosphere.

Steve and Two-Bit rolled around on the ground. Each of them were trying to pin the other boy. Dallas was smoking a cigarette even though Darry didn't like the smoke in the house. Lastly, Soda and Pony were getting ready for school.

Last night, Soda brought up something that scared Ponyboy. He said that after the year was over, he was going to drop out. Pony didn't understand why, and Soda claimed it's because he's dumb.

Pony wasn't buying it.

They both said good-bye to the gang, and they each began the journey to school. Normally, Two-Bit was with them, but today he decided to skip. Not that they minded, they were actually glad they were without Two-Bit's jokes for once.

Today was going to be a great day.

How Johnny convinced Lucille to let him skip school for the tournament was beyond Johnny. He asked her in the car the other day, and she didn't even hesitate. Johnny thought it had something to do with supporting the brother.

Daniel's first match was at ten o'clock. Why they had to leave so early was beyond Johnny too. He heard Mr. Miyagi mention something about getting a feel for how the other guys were going to compete.

Whatever that meant.

Johnny sat in the stands, eager to see his brother's performance. This was the first time he had ever been to a karate tournament, but he was loving every minute of it. All the different moves fascinated him, and he couldn't help but feel intrigued by how graceful they all looked.

Johnny almost wished he knew karate. Maybe Daniel could teach him?

XxXxXxX

When Lucille arrived, Daniel was really kicking butt. Johnny swore the matches weren't lasting anymore than five minutes.

Lucille and he took a seat in the stands. This was the match that would determine whether Daniel made it to the semi-finals or not. His heart was racing. He wanted to see his brother win, but he was nervous this guy would beat him. This guys was a little on the bigger side.

The referee blew his whistle, and the two kind of circled around each other. Johnny was waiting for one of them to lunge at the other. Lucille reached for Johnny's hand. When she found it, she squeezed it tightly.

Finally, the guy charged Daniel. He jumped out of the way and got the first point easily. The opponent looked upset. He looked frustrated that he didn't get the first point.

He tried again and again, but Daniel got both those points. Once the ref announced he won, he looked towards Lucille and Johnny with a big smile.

"He did it!" Lucille exclaimed happily. She dropped Johnny's hand and threw her arms in the air. Johnny looked down at him with a smile. He even offered Daniel two thumbs up, in which Daniel returned.

XxXxXxX

The final match of the day was between Daniel and Lawrence. One of the other boys had hurt Daniel, so Lucille and Johnny, were nervous about this match. Lawrence looked like he was out to kill Daniel if he could get away with it.

Daniel went to kick Lawrence in the stomach, but instead, Lawrence caught his leg and brought an elbow to his knee. Johnny cringed. Daniel fell to the ground holding his leg.

"My poor baby," she whispered to herself. Johnny knew it was taking everything she had not to run out to him.

Daniel rolled around a couple times. A referee followed after him. Daniel tried to stand up and the ref put his hand on Daniel's back.

"LaRusso, you okay? Can you go on?" he asked, helping Daniel back to his spot. Daniel nodded his head weakly and limped.

"There's no way he can continue. He's limping," Lucille said sadly. Johnny ignored her comment and watched his brother. Johnny knew he could do it, and he knew Daniel could win.

Daniel leaned forward and took deep breaths. Some of the boys on the Cobra Kais were laughing, and the sensei's face held no emotion.

"Get him a body bag!" one of the boys yelled. Daniel stood back up and tried to keep as much weight off his injured leg as possible.

"Warning for illegal contact to the knee," the referee said, pointing a finger towards Lawrence. Daniel got into the crane kick stance and glanced at Mr. Miyagi, who nodded his head quickly. Johnny waited to see what happened. Daniel looked back towards Lawrence. The referee blew the whistle, and Johnny took off towards Daniel, who did the awesome kick and got Lawrence under the chin. He fell to the ground. "Winner!" the referee announced, pointing a hand in Daniel's direction.

Ali, Lucille, and Johnny jumped up. Ali squealed and took off towards Daniel. Once she reached him, she threw herself onto him. Lucille and Johnny carefully stepped over the bleachers before racing over to him.

Daniel pushed Ali away when Johnny got closer. He gave a big smile before grabbing onto his younger brother. Daniel hugged his brother tightly. Johnny smiled and returned the hug.

"You did it!" Johnny exclaimed happily.

"No, Johnny . . . We did it!" Lawrence handed Daniel the trophy.

"You're all right, LaRusso," he said. He then looked at Johnny. "You're all right, too." Daniel thanked him and held the trophy up as best as he could. Johnny grabbed the other side and helped him hold it up with a big smile on his face.

A perfect end to a bumpy start.

Okay, it's time for the plots to be revealed. :)

Option A -Johnny and Daniel accompany Mr. Miyagi on a trip to Okinawa to visit Miyagi's dying father. As Mr. Miyagi deals with his foe, Sato, Daniel and Johnny are left with Sato's nephew, Chozen. Daniel tries to ignore the boy and ends up falling in love with a local, Kumiko, despite being heartbroken about Ali not too long ago. As for Johnny, his only plan is to stay out of Chozen's line of fire. Shortly after arriving in Japan, Johnny meets a local named Kyoko. The two of them become fast friends, and Johnny finds himself starting to fall for the beautiful Japanese girl. Something happens, and the truth is revealed. Johnny has fallen for Chozen's younger sister. Both know the consequences of what could happen if either him or Daniel find out, so the two continue their friendship in private. Daniel and Chozen end up finding out, and both are furious, and they forbid their younger siblings from seeing each other. After fighting for the death, Chozen and Daniel settle their differences, and Kyoko and Johnny kiss, sending their friendship to a whole new level. (NOTE: The gang would rarely be mentioned in this fanfic)

Option B -Several months after the death of the Curtis parents, the brothers have a heavy weight lifted from their shoulders. Darry gets a promotion at work that requires a job move. The company offers to pay for housing and transportation for the first couple of months, but then the boys are on their own. Darry, without any hesistation, takes the offer for two reasons: the location and pay. The Curtis boys are moving to Reseda, California. Steve, Two-Bit, and Dallas each find out about the move, and somehow manage to talk Darry into taking them. When they arrive, Johnny is shocked to see his old friends, but he's happy nonetheless. While in California, drama ensues, and it's up to Johnny, with the help of Daniel, to help his old friends blend in with the other kids. It's going to be quite the struggle, but Johnny is ready. (NOTE: The gang would always be present in this fanfic)
