Hi! This is my first story, but I love the idea I had for this story!

Sadly I don't own Kickin It or Royal Caribbean Cruise Line so please don't sue! If I owned Kickin it, Jack and Kim would have been together sooner! :P And if The Hauntings on Evening Street is a real movie, I don't own it either.

Now, on with the story! Oh yeah, sorry if I can't update a lot because I'm always SOOOOOOOOO BUSY! But I will make sure not to forget about this story.

Also, review if you like, review if you don't, plus PM me some ideas for OC's because I need some for future chapters on the cruise ship and at some places they stop (which will be announced in the second chapter) ok now I will stop rambling and post this story!

Kim's P.O.V.

I hurry to the dojo. Rudy had texted everyone saying he had a big announcement to make and that we shouldn't be late. Practice starts at 4:00 pm and right now it's 3:57. 3 minutes to get there! I arrive with 30 seconds to spare.

I look around the room and see that I the last person to come. I notice everyone is dressed in normal clothes as I make my way to the back of the dojo and quietly sit down beside Jack.

Jack turns to me and whispers in my ear, "What do you think the announcement is about?"

I think for a minute before answering. "Probably another tournament or something." I don't really care about Rudy's announcement. Not like it would be something exciting...

The lights in the dojo dim, snapping me out of my thoughts. I turn around and give Jack a questioning look, but he just shrugs and directs his attention back to the center of the room. I do the same.

"Ladies and gentlemen... Or I guess, Lady and gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for..." Rudy's voice is heard from somewhere in the darkness.

The lights quickly turn on and Rudy is standing on the worn, blue mat in the center of the room wearing the most hideous outfit I have EVER seen. It consists of shiny,tight gold leggings, navy blue shoes with shiny brass buckles, a tight gold shirt, a lime green jacket that was trimmed with red and purple lace and covered with giant holes. To top it of he was wearing a dark green hat with a maroon feather sticking out of it.

I could hear stifled laughs from all my friends, except for Jerry. He just goes ahead and laughs.

"Dude, You look like an elf dude!" Jerry exclaims.

Rudy glares at all of us, but mostly Jerry, before continuing.

"Do you remember the Krazy Karate Kompetition?" Rudy asks to nobody in particular.

Everyone groans.

"You mean the contest where you send videos of every student in your dojo performing karate? Judges choose two dojos around from the country and they win a free summer-long Royal Caribbean Cruise for everyone in their dojo." I say, very annoyed.

"Rudy, you've entered us every year, but have we ever won? Ummmmm... No!"

"But Kim this year it's different!" Rudy says, very excited. "This year we won. Practice is canceled! Go home and pack, we leave tomorrow. Tomorrow we will go over cabin partner + port schedules."

Everyone jumps up. I hear joyous laughter and excitement from everyone

"Holy Christmas nuts! I can't believe we won!" Milton yells.

"Yo! A cruise is the perfect place to meet girls!" Jerry says.

"Wow Jerry. We win a free 3 month cruise and that's the first thing on your mind." Jack rolls his eyes.

"I can't believe we're going on a cruise! Think of all the places we'll visit! And relaxing at sea will be amazing!" I squeal, giving Jack a hug. He wraps his arms around me.

Wait... Am I hugging Jack? I look up into the eyes of Jack. Quickly I pull away blushing tomato red. I notice a slight blush on Jack's face too.

Jack's P.O.V.

"I can't believe we're going on a cruise! Think of all the places we'll visit! And relaxing at sea will be amazing!" Kim squeals before hugging me. Before I can stop myself, my arms wrap around her. She looks up into to my eyes, before quickly pulling away.

"Oh, sorry." She mumbles, a faintly blushing face.

"It's fine, I actually liked hugging y... Um... I mean I actually like... Um... I actually like hugging... Yodelers! Ya! I actually like hugging yodelers." I say quickly trying to cover up my first sentence and my blush.

She blushes redder than before. "Let's just go home and pack."

"Sure." I answer as I walk over to my karate bag and sling it over my left shoulder. I notice Kim does the same.

Kim and I turned down the block that we both live on. (Her grey house with many overflowing gardens is right next to my brick house) How convenient is it to live next to your best friend (and crush)?

'Stop thinking about her as a crush' I mentally scold myself, 'She's your best friend... Nothing more. It would ruin your friendship if you asked her out and she didn't feel the same way.'

"Jack? Jack? JACK!" Kim shakes me until I respond.

"Sorry, I was just thinking."

"Well do the thinking in your house because we're here." Kim shoves me towards my house a little harder then necessary.

I chuckle as I hop up the front steps to my house. After I quickly unlock the door I look over my right shoulder, searching for Kim, but to my dismay she isn't there.

'To my dismay? Jack, get ahold of yourself.' But I couldn't control my everyday want to see her face. It made me feel more comfortable, more joyful, it got me through the hard days.

I sigh at my thoughts as I make my way through the cozy living room, up the grey carpeted stairs and into my Bobby Wasabi themed room. Even if you didn't know me, you would be able to tell I liked karate.

As flop down on my comfy queen sized bed I hear knocking on my window. I cautiously pull back my lime green curtains to see Kim's face. She's teetering on the wooden boards that connect our windows together. We set it up when we were younger and to this day we still use it. Probably even more than we used to.

I open my window allowing Kim to enter. She jumps down with a thud a immediately sits down on my bed.

"What's up?" I ask while pulling out my blue rolling suitcase from my closet.

"I still can't believe we get to go on a cruise! And that it's going to be a Royal Caribbean cruise! My friend Amelia went on one for New Years and she told me ALL about it! She talked about the teen club, the Windjammer, the pools, the water park, the ice cream station at the pool, the dining room, the shops, the small restaurants, the shows in the theater..." She rambles on.

I had to stop her, when she starts rambling, it could be hours before she stopped talking.

"What are you packing?" I interrupt her.

"Oh, I packed enough clothes for two weeks because I heard there is laundry service on the ship. But I also brought some fancy dresses for the formal nights." She answers as if I didn't just talk over her.

"Cool I'll just pack these." I say over my shoulder as I stuff a bunch of shirts, socks, shorts and pants into my royal blue suitcase.

I place the suitcase beside my dresser and sit down beside Kim.

"Do you want to watch a movie and stay for dinner?" I suggest.

"I'd love to! Just let me go check in with my parents first." She laughs before standing up and crawling across the boards to her window.

I watch her disappear through her door.

Kim's P.O.V.

"Do you want to watch a movie and stay for dinner?" Jack suggests.

On the inside I scream 'Yes!'

But on the outside I say, "I'd love to! Just let me go check in with my parents first."

I stand up and scramble across the boards to my room. I run out my door and head towards the living room. I knew I would find my mom knitting and my dad watching a pre-taped football game. I was correct... and ecstatic when they said I could go as long as I was back by midnight. I couldn't wait to hangout with my best friend (and crush)!

'Stop thinking about him as a crush! He doesn't like you back and if you admitted your feelings and he didn't feel the same way your friendship would become incredibly awkward.' My inner voice scolded me.

As I arrive back in my room I check my hair and make up in my pearl outlined mirror. I catch Jack staring at me and I blush, realizing he had seen everything. I quickly trip over to the boards and crawl towards his window, cover my up my blush with my hair.

Jack's P.O.V.

I help Kim through my window and we walk towards my basement, our traditional movie-watching cove.

I playfully shove her onto the lumpy brown coach and select the first movie I see. Without looking, open up the case and insert the DVD into the player. As I hop down beside Kim, we hear a bloodcurdling scream.

Before Kim can stop me I bolt up the stairs, frantically searching for something... Or someone.

"Mom!?"
