A/N Hey guys. This is a new story I have been working on. I now you want another chapter of The New Girl or Searching for the Past (sftp) but I have been working hard on this story and if I get ten reviews by tonight I'll post another chapter. Today! I got the inspiration for this story while watching Sabrina Down Under. I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Kickin' It but if I did Jack and Kim would be dating by now. And Jerry and Eddie would have girlfriends to!
Kim's pov
It was a normal day in Seaford. Water was blue, fish were blowing bubbles. Well normal for most people. You see I'm a human but when I was 10 I found out I am half mermaid. It's actually really cool being a 14 year old girl who can manipulate water and storms to do anything. Oops, I forgot to mention I have powers. I can freeze things, heat stuff up, turn water into a jelly substance that I can harden, and control water, or any liquid with water in it, to move the way I want it. I can also manipulate wind, lightning, and thunder to do my bidding. Most people would think that if a mermaid touches water she sprouts a tail. Actually I must be fully immersed in water, like a bath or going swimming. But I still have to be careful because if I get wet and don't immerse myself in water my powers glitch. We all this mermaid stuff is probably boring so I'll continue with my much more entertaining story. I have a group of friends, who are all boys, that I do karate with. But non of them know my secret. The only people who know are my best friends, Grace, who is a witch, and Kelsey, who is a fairy. Grace is not a stereotypical witch, they do more than put curses on people and boil stuff in cauldrons. She doesn't have a single wart and she's not green. Kelsey is pretty typical for a fairy, she wears tutus and has wings and a wand. (But she usually doesn't go with the wings, she keeps those under-wraps.) Anyway we all discovered our awesomeness at the same time. It's been four years and this is the first time I had people to hid it from other than my family. I've been doing good with it and keeping it secret. But me keeping my secret wouldn't be a very entertaining story. It all started at the dojo...
"Hey Kim, whats up?" Jack asked
"Nothin much, just the usual. Oh and if your trying to take my mind off the fact that were sparing then it won't work" I said as we continued fighting.
"Go for her left shoulder!" Eddie shouted.
"Go for his stomach!" Jerry yelled. Just then Milton walked in with a sticky bun.
"Hey Jack wanna a sticky bun?" Milton said. Jack twisted his head and threw a lousy punch so I grabbed his arm and flipped him.
"If you are still mad about me letting you win 3 weeks ago than I didn't let you win this time!" he said frantically. I was secretly still mad but I didn't say anything.
"No, I'm not. Oh and a thanks Milton!" I said winking at Jack.
"Practice is over, go shower." Rudy said. I never shower at the dojo cause my powers might go crazy but I had to cause I was going shopping for the end of the spring formal with Grace and Kelsey. I took a quick shower and waited 5 minutes before I left the locker rooms. If nothing happens in 5 minutes then I usual have 10 minutes before something does, if I'm lucky. That day I got very unlucky. The guys were already waiting and Grace just walked in. I was praying that Neptune would grant me lucky and I wouldn't have any glitches. To bad Neptune hates me. You brake one throne and your labeled.
"Hey everyone!" Grace said
"Hey" we all replied.
"So Kim" she said as she pulled me aside. "Any issues after getting wet?" She asked.
"Not so far, maybe I'm getting lucky and..." I was cut off by Jerry's columbian war chant (that's what he calls screaming like a girl) and the doors swinging open. Then I noticed my thoughts. I had been thinking about wind and ice. After getting wet my mind drifts to my powers.
"What was that?!" Jack shouted/asked. I looked over and saw that Jerry had been pelted with hail, from my locker.
"Kim, what's in your locker?" Milton asked. Uh-oh.
"Oh nothing, just my ice maker" I said throwing a sideways glance at Grace as I went over to my locker.
"Hey that looked heavy when you brought it here yesterday Kim, let me help you" she said hurrying over. She pointed and there was a magic ping and there was an ice maker we pulled out of my locker.
"Wow, that's, convenient?" Eddie asked more than said.
"What was that wind? We have strong wind here but not on crystal clear days and it's never forced open the door." Milton said. Cruse his scientificness.
"It was already windy today but my giant fan didn't help. I must have left the timer on to it turned on then turned off. Grace said pointing her finger so there was an actual giant fan there.
"That makes since" Jack said. They actually bought that.
"Well we'll just be going now" I said grabbing my purse and headed for the door with Grace.
"Wait, Kim!" Jack stopped me.
"Yeah Jack?"
"I wanted to ask you something after practice, remember?" he said. I remember now. I gave Grace a look.
"Hey guys, Kelsey's waiting at Falafill Phil's. Wanna grab a bite?" she asked and the guys practically trampled each other trying to get out the door. I gave her a thank you look and she winked before leaving.
"So what did you want to ask me?" I said.
"I was wondering if you maybe, wanted to, I don't know, hang out on Saturday?" he said.
"What do you want to do?" I asked. I liked where this was going.
"I don't know, hey! Maybe we could have a picnic on the beach." he said. This sounds like when I asked him to be my date to the swans court cotillion ball. I'm not making the mistake he did.
"I'd love to" I said.
"Great! I'll pick you up at around noon" he said. "Let's go see if there's any food left."
We walked across the courtyard to Phil's. We spotted the group at our usual spot. Grace and Kelsey sat there looking disgusted. There was a pill of trays on the table. That would have been enough food for an elephant. Except it was gone.
"What happened?" Jack asked.
"Let me guess, they bet on who could eat the most before we could come back." I said.
"And you'll never believe who won..." Kelsey started.
"Milton right?" I said.
"How would you know?" Jack asked.
"This is what happens when you leave the table. They wait until your gone. Oh and we also have arm wrestling. That I win at. I don't compete at food gorging." I told him. He had a 'that makes sense' look on his face.
"So are we ready to go?" Kelsey asked
"Let's get out of here before you guys are permanently scared!" I joked.
"Where are you guys going?" Milton asked.
"It's Friday!" Grace called as we walked away. I go do something with my girls every Friday after karate.
"So what's going on with you and Jack?" Grace asked as soon as we were out of earshot.
"Wait, did he finally ask you out?!" Kelsey squealed
"Yes, no, maybe. I think so. He seemed really nervous. But we have are spending all day Saturday at the beach! And I get a picnic to!" I shrieked.
"Wait the beach, Kim if you get wet you only have ten seconds before something happens" Grace said as we stopped walking. I was well aware of this.
"I know Grace but what if I said no and he thought that he just made things weird between us and we were never friends again let alone him someday becoming my bf" I said. She nodded her head in understanding.
"Well you only have today, since the date's tomorrow, to get you some perfect first date at the beach stuff. Like a new beach outfit and new shoes..." Kelsey went on. She is crazy about shopping but she had a point. Then I realized one thing she said.
"Wait, we are going shopping as a group right? We only do that on Fridays! I just realized, I'm not ready for my date tomorrow!" I said freaking out.
"Kim calm down! We're gonna be at your house really early so we can help you get ready. Wait a second we only have to showy up an hour before the date, I can just point!" Grace said excitedly. She was right, they show up to make it seem like they had a lot of work to do, cause non of our parents know about us, then they set up all the hair stuff they need and we just hang out until 5 minutes before he comes and Grace points at my hair and my clothes and poof! Fabulous!
"We actually have to go buy the stuff for this plan" I commented.
"Then let's shop till we drop girls!" Kelsey squeaked then we all ran into a store.
We all dropped on a bench.
"That was the most intense shopping experience of my life!" Grace exclaimed in a sort of whisper because we still haven't caught her breath. I finally cought mine so I perked up.
"Wow Kelsey when you said 'shop till we drop' you weren't kidding!" I exclaimed. Just then the guys walked by.
"What happened?" Eddie asked slightly worried.
"We shopped and then we dropped. And now you showed up right on time!" Kelsey said. She winked at me and Grace and we totally understood.
"I'm just so tired. Kelsey is right you guys showed up right on time." Grace said.
"We sure could use some strong men to carry these bags." I said fluttering my eyelashes.
"Of corse you ladies could, we are strong, well except for Milton over there." Jerry said as he and Eddie grabbed two bags each. Milton made a really annoyed face and grabbed our smaller bags which weren't heavy so he took all four of them.
"If you guys are so strong you can handle a challenge" I said.
"Name it" Jack said.
"Carry us" Grace, Kelsey and I all said. They looked at each other.
"I got Kim!" Jack hollered.
"Why do you get her, your the strongest and you don't have any bags To carry!" Eddie steamed.
"What's the difference?" I asked confused.
"Your the smallest. They are just taller than you." Jack explained.
"Then, give Jack a bag each and then it will be even." Grace said. The guys shrugged and each gave him one of the bags they were carrying.
"Ok now that that's settled can we leave? I am supposed to see a movie with Julie tonight" Milton complained. We nodded and Grace got on Jerry's back and Kelsey on Eddie's. I jumped up on Jack's back and we headed for my house. Grace and Kelsey decided to just sleepover. Lucky for they guys I only live 4 blocks from the mall.
"Are we there yet?" Jack asked like a little kid.
"Sorry Jackie, but we only went a block, three to go!" I said acting like his mother.
"Did you just call me Jackie?" he asked.
"Maybe I did maybe I didn't" I said. He rolled his eyes.
"Don't you roll your eyes at me!" I snapped.
"Whatever Kimmy" he said and I flicked him.
"OW! What was that for?!" he asked slightly ticked.
"Don't call me Kimmy." I said sternly.
"Of corse princess" he breathed.
"What was that Jack? I didn't hear you" I said suspiciously.
"Oh nothing" he breathed defeated. I triumphantly sat on his back, smiling.
"Hey Kim, this is your block right?" Milton asked.
"Yep. Stop in front of the blue house guys." I said loudly so Jerry and Eddie heard me. We stopped and the guys let us down. We all walked up to the door. and the guys set our stuff down.
"Thank you for carrying our stuff and us" I said. They all said somethin along the lines of 'no problem'.
"See you tomorrow Kim" Jack said.
"Noon right?" I asked.
"Yep, oh before I forget I got you this" he said pulling a small box out of his pocket. I opened it and found a pink and gold rose pendent on a gold chain.
"Aww! That's so sweet!" I said hugging him. I turned around and he put it on me.
"I'll come get you at noon." he said.
"Wait what's noon, are we invited?" Jerry asked. Milton thumped him.
"No stupid!" he said. Something snapped in Jerry's head because he finally got it.
"The lovebirds are spending time alone" Jerry said making kissing noises.
"Jerry you better hope you don't wake up tomorrow with a zipper sewn on your face where your mouth should be!" I threatened taking a step towards him. He coward behind Jack.
"Let's go guys" Jack said letting out an annoyed breath. I waved before Grace, Kelsey and I grabbed all our bags and entered my house. We ran up to my room and put our bags down. We had stashes at our houses for sleepovers. They simply pulled their stuff out of my closet. We gout in our pjs and ate dinner. Then we watched a couple of movies and went to bed?
"Jack put me down!" I screamed.
"Ok" he said dropping me in the water.
"Don't look at me!" I squealed.
"Come on Kim, it's just some salt water." he said laughing. Then it happened. My legs got heavy and came together. Then my tail formed.
"Look away" I said.
"Freak! Your a fish freak!" he yelled running away.
"Jack! Come back! I'm not a freak!" I screamed but he was gone.
"Kim" I heard a far-off voice. "Kim" it got closer. Then I snapped awake. Grace and Kelsey looked at me worried.
"You were screaming." Kelsey said.
"I had a nightmare that Jack found out and runaway cause I'm a freak" I explained.
"You are not a freak. But if you don't get up you'll be late. He'll be here in 5 minutes. So go change then I'll point." Grace said. I did as she said and got changed into the clothes we bought. I was wearing a black tank top with a wide knit pink tank top over it and some cute black shorts. (one of olivia holt's outfits in the nonstop summer music video.) I was also sporting flip flops. I brushed my teeth and came out. Grace used her finger to do my hair and water proof makeup in 30 seconds.
Ding dong!
"That's him, I better get it before my mom." I said running down the stairs. Too late. Mom opened the door.
"Jack, just the man I wanted to see." she said. I face palmed.
"Don't worry Mrs. Crawford. My mom already gave me the third degree before I left home. What time do you want her back?" he asked like a gental man. My mom looked at me pleased.
"How about 6 ish. I know that you have a picnic lunch but here's some money for dinner." My mom said handing him money. He nodded his thanks. Then if this wasn't embarrassing enough Grace and Kelsey came flying down the stairs in their pjs.
"Kim you forgot your bag with all the stuff you'll need." Kelsey said. "Oh hi Jack!" he gave them a little wave.
"I hope you have a magical day." Grace said which reminded me of my dream.
"Let's go before something weird happens." I said.
There was a comfortable silence on the walk to the beach. When we got there I thought there would be lots of people but no one was there. Then I realized that this was a part of the beach I've never been to. There were beautifully rocks everywhere and the ocean sparkled calling me in.
"Hey where are we?" I asked.
"Oh I figured that we should have privacy so this is a spot I discovered a couple months ago and no one knows about it." Jack replied.
"Cool" I said. 'If something goes horribly wrong and I sprout a tail at least no one else is here' 'SHUT UP BRAIN' I shouted at my self. When I looked at the beach again I saw the picnic all set up. 'Was I spaced out that long? Wait! He didn't have a basket!'
"Hey Jack, quick question. Where did the picnic come from?!" I exclaimed.
"Oh I had it all set up, I just dragged it out while you were looking away for a few seconds." he explained.
"Smart. Now, I'm hungry so let's eat!" I said sitting down. "What do you have for me?"
"Well I have fruit, including strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, boysenberries, oranges, bananas, and last but not least apples." he said.
"Wow, that's a lot of fruit. And all my favorites too!" I said.
"I also have some turkey sandwiches and yogurt. I figured that you could make a parfait with the fruit and on the subject I brought granola." he continued.
"Aww! You remembered that's my favorite! Drinks"
"I have water, lemonade and oj. Sorry their juice boxes but it was the best I could do."
"That's perfectly fine. Besides its still juice what's it matter what form they come in?" I said speaking truthfully.
"Go ahead and tell me what you want. I'll make it for you." he offered.
"That is very kind of you. I'll have all the berries mixed with yogurt and granola." I said.
"Coming right up" he said. "Here's Your Berry parfait" he said when he finished.
"Thank you kind sir" I said all lady like. I kept thinking about if he took me in the water. If he didn't run away he would get mad that I didn't tell him. We had finished our food and were standing by the water but not close enough where id get wet. I finally decided to just tell him now.
"Jack, I have something to tell you and it's a big deal and I don't want you to freak out but I'll just say it, I'm a mermaid." I said. He stared at me. Then he burst out laughing.
"Good one! And I'm superman!" he managed to choke out before another fit of laughter took over. I got mad. I was gonna prove it and make him pay for laughing. I made a huge wave crash down on him but I didn't get wet.
"Believe me now?!" I asked mad.
"It was a wave" he said. Ok now he was angering me. I started to freeze his feet.
"How about now?" I asked. He shook his head. Ok I was just gonna have to show him. I unfroze his legs and dragged him to the water. When we got ankle deep I went out a little further and lay down. I was immersed.
"What are you doing?" he asked after 5 seconds.
"Give it a couple seconds" I said. 3, 2, 1 mermaid! My legs got heavy and stuck together then I looked back and I had my turquoise tail with hints of gold and purple in it. My shirt was now a bikini top that matched my tail. Jack stood there shocked but he quickly shook himself out of it.
"So you weren't pulling my leg?" he asked laughing at himself realizing the irony of the saying considering I had a tail.
"Nope. I didn't want to tell you like this but the thought of me falling in the water and you freaking out was killing me. I wanted to tell you and the guys. That way Grace and Kelsey could spill too." I realized my mistake to late.
"Wait their mermaids to? Wow I am super bad at noticing stuff!" he exclaimed.
"No your not and no their not but I can't tell you because they have to open up. Don't go asking them because then they won't tell you." I said. "Hey can you pull me out of the water? I need to dry off."
"Sure" he said dragging me out. "How are you gonna get dry? It will take forever"
"Watch" I balled my hand into a fist and held it over my tail. There was a bunch a of steam and pretty soon I was sitting on the beach all normal.
"Wow! That's awesome!" he exclaimed.
"I have more" I said. I showed him how I can bend water to my will, and create and control wind. I froze some stuff to. I would have shown him thunder and lightning but I didn't want to ruin the day. By the time power demonstrations were done it was time for dinner.
"Do you wanna just go to Falafel Phil's?" he asked.
"That sounds great!" I said. We went, laughed and had a great time. It was almost 6 so we were on my porch. Grace and Kelsey were spying on us and we both knew it. "I'm going to get a soda, you want one?" I offered.
"Sure!" he said. I ran in the house and saw Grace and Kelsey pretending like they weren't spying.
"Guys come with me while I grab sodas." I said we walked to my kitchen and I explained to them how I told him and I'm gonna tell the guys after school tomorrow.
"You have a choice. Tell Jack now and the guys tomorrow. Tell them all at once or don't tell them. It's up to you." I said before I stepped out the front door.
Graces pov
We were spying on Jack and Kim from the inside of Kim's house and she came in and explained our choices.
"I think we should tell Jack now. Knowing Kim she probably already slipped something cause she hates only telling half the story." Kelsey said.
"I totally agree. Let's go tell him" I said. We walked out onto the porch. We sat down with him.
"Jack we have something to tell you." I said. Knowing Kelsey she'd want to go first.
"Well I'm a fairy! I have wings and a wand and a closet full of tutus! I am a nature fairy. So that makes sense. This necklace can change me from human to fairy and vise versa." she finished explaining.
"Well I'm a special person, more supernatural. I can do anything. I..."
"Oh for crying out loud! She's a witch! Half mortal but still has powers." Kim exclaimed.
"Well I'm not stereotypical. As you can see I'm no wicked witch of the west. But I do have the coolest broom. It's a turbo. Any way wand needed. All I need is my right pointer finger. Sometimes I use incantations. Witches do use cauldrons to make potions and brews. That's all I can tell you now. But you'll get our full story tomorrow." I finished.
"Well I can't wait." he said. Then Kim gave me and Kelsey a look like 'get lost'. So we did.
Kim's pov
As soon as Grace and Kelsey left I looked over at Jack.
"We should do this again" he said
"Yeah I had fun"
"Well I better head home" he said as we both stood up. We hugged and when we pulled away a thought popped into my head. 'Its now or never'. I gave him a quick peck on the lips. He smiled like a little boy.
"Bye" I said quietly as he headed down the street. He turned and waved.
"Wow" I said to myself. The perfect end to the perfect day.
A/N So I hoped you liked it. And Kim's bliss won't last. In chapter three things will get choppy! Remember if you want another chapter today. Ten reviews. You can do it! Any ways I'm working on new girl and sftp but I'm writing 5 other stories that I hope to post, including this one. Review!
