Jack walked into the lunchroom on his first day of school feeling nervous that he wouldn't make any friends here. He looked around for a minute, trying to decide where he should go, when he saw a friendly looking woman behind a lunch counter. He sighed in relief and walked up and grabbed one of the red lunch trays off of the counter.
"How ya doin?" He asked, sounding more confident than he truly felt. "It's my first day, what would you recommend?"
"Not this stuff," the woman replied, looking thoroughly disgusted. "I don't know what half of it is!"
Jack chuckled, feeling slightly better. He decided to take his chances and put some random food on his tray, hoping it would turn out to be good—or at least edible. As he turned around, he saw a blonde girl, who looked roughly his age, walking in his direction, while tossing an apple in the air and catching it. She threw it up as she got closer to him and accidentally threw it too far ahead of her and she couldn't reach it. Acting on impulse, Jack caught the apple on his foot and flung it in the air and catching it, a smug look on his face.
"Alright, that was almost cool," she said smiling, "I'm Kim."
"I'm Jack," he replied. "I'm new."
Kim chuckled, "Yeah, I can tell. You still have that new kid smell." She wrinkled her nose in feigned disgust.
Jack laughed. He had to admit, Kim was funny… and incredibly pretty too. Her blonde hair was straight, falling just below her shoulders, she had chocolate-colored eyes, a small splatter of freckles across her nose and cheeks, and a wide smile with straight white teeth.
"Um," Jack was snapped out of his thoughts as she spoke. "Can I have my apple back?"
"Oh! Sorry." he exclaimed, feeling extremely dumb. "Sure—" He gave the apple back to her. "So maybe I'll see you 'round Kim!" He flashed her what he hoped was a winning smile.
"Maybe you will," she replied smiling and walked away.
Jack smiled shaking his shaggy brown hair away from his eyes. He was skinny, but not scrawny, and he wore jeans, black high tops, and a plain black shirt with an unbuttoned plaid shirt over the top of it. He had light brown eyes and dimples whenever he smiled.
"Hey! New kid!" a voice called out. Jack turned and saw a short boy sitting at a table with two other guys, one with black hair in an attempted Mohawk, and the other very skinny with brown hair.
He smiled and walked over to them pausing by the open seat as the black haired boy spoke up.
"Uh, what're ya doin Eddie! That seat is reserved for cheerleaders, prom queens, and supermodels."
"Well I'm Jack," he said pulling out a chair and sitting down. "So how do you all know each other?" They were probably the most unlikely group of friends he'd seen so far.
"We're friends," the brown haired boy said looking at Jack. "We do karate together after school."
"We don't just do karate, Milton." The black haired boy said. "These fists are registered weapons. In fact I've already gotten a few calls about joining the Navy Seals."
"Navy Seals?" the short one—Eddie?—scoffed. "You're afraid of baby seals!"
Jack chuckled and looked at the brown haired boy—Milton—who was nodding. Just then a falafel ball hit Milton on the back of his head.
"Gaaaah!" he complained turning around as the guys who hit him laughed.
"That's awesome!" the black haired boy said. "The kid from the Black Dragon dojo just whaled you—" He was abruptly cut off as another falafel ball hit him in the face and he looked shocked. "Not cool man! Not. Cool!" the kids from the Black Dragon just laughed hysterically.
"Aren't you gonna do anything?" Jack asked appalled that they were just sitting there. "Wait, I thought you guys knew karate."
"Yes we do," Milton said confidently as he stood up and turned around. The Black Dragons just looked at him as if daring him to come over and he promptly sat back down, disappointed. "But they know it better."
Jack smiled. "It's cool," he said standing up. "I got this."
As he walked away he heard Milton say, "Why did we learn his name? Now I'm gonna miss him!"
Jack smiled and shook his head as he reached the table where the Black Dragons were sitting.
"Hey!" Jack said in a cheery greeting. "I like your outfits. You guys uh—cheerleaders?"
"No!" a burly guy with curly hair replied. "Well, Brian used to be." Another guy in the group looked down, embarrassed, as Jack stood there feeling largely weirded out.
"So," the burly guy said standing up. "You got a problem or something?" Jack's smile disappeared.
"I didn't come over here to fight, man." Jack said turning around.
The guy attempted to throw a punch once Jack's back was turned but Jack caught his fist in his hand.
"Okay," he said looking back. "You probably shouldn't have done that."
The moments that followed were pretty much all a blur. No time seemed to have passed and suddenly Jack was in the middle of a trashed lunchroom, the Black Dragons either knocked out on the floor or—one of them—face down in a trash can.
Jack looked around and saw a surprised smile on Kim's face, and shocked expressions on Milton, Eddie, and the black haired boy's (A/N ik Jerry hasn't introduced himself yet).
Then suddenly it dawned on him what he had done, and he promptly pushed through the crowd of kids and when he reached the door, rammed it open and sprinted out of the lunchroom.
Later that afternoon, Jack was skateboarding through the open area of the mall, knowing full well that he wasn't supposed to. He caught sight of the mall cop on one of those two wheel scooter thingies.
"That new kid, Jack, is on his skateboard again!" the cop said. He then put a small red flashing light on his helmet and chased after Jack.
Jack narrowly swerved to avoid an old lady as he turned a corner and heard the cop say "I'm in pursuit!"
Jack then swerved through the tables knowing perfectly well that the cops scooter couldn't fit through them very easily as the cop shouted, "Jack! C'mere!"
Jack laughed as he jumped off his skateboard and it rolled under a table as Jack flipped over it. Jack then landed on his skateboard on the other side of the table and continued his miraculous get away. He did a trick on the side of a ledge and skated into a hallway and almost ran into a guy walking out of a door.
"Look out!" Jack shouted and the guy got out of the way just in time as Jack skated into the building. He then crashed through a wall and landed in the Bobby Wasabi dojo, as Jerry (just pretend that he told Jack his name before), Eddie, Milton, the lunch lady, Marge, and a tall sandy haired guy who must have been the sensei. Jack landed on the ground in a perfect roll and stood up shakily.
"That boy just came right out of the wall!" Marge exclaimed as Jack took his helmet off.
"Okay you guys, have got to try that!" Jack exclaimed, still filled with adrenaline. He then looked at the hole he made in the wall and saw the mall cop sticking his head through.
"Come here, you!" he said.
"Gotta go!" Jack said. "Sorry about the wall!"
He ran and did a series of back flips and tried to get away when two other mall cops came and held him by his arms and he sighed and surrendered.
"Who was that kid?" he heard the sandy haired sensei say.
"Jack!" Milton, Jerry, and Eddie said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Ohhh!" the sensei replied.
Jack stood there obviously disappointed that he had gotten caught and silently cursed to himself.
About a half hour later, he was sitting outside the dojo as the sensei walked up to him with a report.
"You're in big trouble, Jack!" he said. "But, if you join my dojo and help me win two belts, I'll tear up this report and you won't have to go to Juvie!"
"Juvie?" Jack asked.
"That's jail for kids, fella!" the sensei said.
Jack stood up.
"I would join your dojo," he said. "But I'm not a karate guy, I'm a skater."
The sensei looked at him incredulously.
"You took out four Black Dragons all by yourself and did a perfect flying side kick through my wall!"
Jack smiled a little but was more serious. "Kay truth is, my grandfather was a karate sensei. He even trained Bobby Wasabi for all of his movies!" He gestured to one of the many posters in the room.
The sensei looked shocked. "Your grandfather trained Bobby Wasabi? The founder of this dojo, and star of such classic movies as Samurai Beach Party, Kung Fu Cop, and Nana Was a Ninja?"
Jack nodded for all three. "Yup!"
"You know this dojo is built on the principles of the Wasabi Code!" the sensei said.
He held out his hand and Jack clasped it in his.
"We swear by the light of the dragon's eye, to be loyal and honest and never say die!" they said in unison. Then they pressed one fist to the other palm and said, "Wasabi!" (Okay by now let's pretend that Rudy introduced himself properly.)
"So do we have a deal?" Rudy asked.
"Deal," Jack replied and they shook hands.
Later that day he sat in a restaurant at the mall with Jerry, Milton, and Eddie when Kim walked up to their table.
"Hey Jack!" she greeted cheerfully.
"Hellooo Kim!" Everyone but Jack answered before he got the chance to speak.
Kim looked embarrassed but shook it off, "Um, can I talk to you for a minute?"
Once again the guys cut Jack off before he could say anything. By now Jack was really getting irritated.
"Guys can you give me a sec? Vamoose!" Jack said waving them away. When none of them moved he added, "That means go!"
Jerry looked at him offended. "I know what vamoose means!"
He, Milton, and Eddie got up and walked out of the restaurant with Jerry complaining in another language the whole time.
Kim raised her eyebrows and took a seat across from Jack in the booth.
"Looks like you know something about karate," she said smirking.
He smiled, "A little bit."
"So what are you doing at Bobby Wasabi?" she asked. "You should be training at the best dojo in town!"
"Really?" Jack asked. "What do you know about karate?"
She gave him a look and they went over to the Black Dragon dojo where she promptly broke a board impressively.
"I guess you do know a little something about karate!" Jack said, impressed.
"This place made me a black belt," she said proudly. "Everything at the Black Dragon, is best of the best."
Kim then put another board up and Jack was about to break it when he was interrupted.
"Ah, Jack!" a voice said. Jack looked over and saw that it was the Black Dragon sensei walking over to them. "I've heard so much about you, I want you to know that if you join this dojo, you'll be like a cobra, fast, dangerous, and quite comfortable sleeping in a basket!"
Jack looked at him as if he was crazy at his last comment. He turned to Kim as she spoke.
"What Sensei's trying to say is, if you train here, we'll make you a champion!"
"Check out this bow staff," the sensei said bringing out a large silver bow staff from behind his back. "That is four ounces of perfectly balanced graphite, it's the same one the astronauts use."
Jack took the bow staff, giving the sensei a weird look.
"You know," the sensei said trying to cover up his weird comment. "For when they need a… bow staff in space."
Jack was still confused but he shrugged it off and walked forward and practice a bunch of moves with the staff while the sensei made approving comments. When he was finished, Kim spoke.
"So, what do ya say Jack? Will you join the Black Dragons?" she had a sparkle of hope in her eyes so it was hard for Jack to say no. But he knew he had to because he promised Rudy.
"I'd like to," he answered honestly, "But I can't."
"Jack come on!" Kim exclaimed. "Bobby Wasabi's a joke!"
Now Jack was angry, even if this was Kim, who he had to admit he had the slightest crush on.
"Come on its not a joke to me! I gave my word." looking at the sensei and then back to Kim and put his fist to his palm. "It's the Wasabi code."
"Heh, the Wasabi Coode," one of the Black Dragons said but the sensei shut him up with a wave of his hands and a "Zip it Frank!".
"Well, here ya go." Jack said as he went to give the bow staff back to the sensei.
"You keep it," the sensei replied. "Let it be a reminder that you're always welcome here."
"Wow!" Jack exclaimed. "Thanks!"
He then walked out of the dojo twirling the staff around.
About two minutes later he walked into the Bobby Wasabi dojo and saw that everyone was already practicing and he knew he was late.
"Hey guys!" he said. "Sorry I'm late I—" but Rudy cut him off.
"Sorry doesn't cut it, Jack!" Rudy said. "Wait, where'd you get that astronaut bow staff?"
"It was a gift from the Black Dragons," Jack replied doing a trick with the staff. "See we can all use it!" he tried to offer it to Rudy but he made a disgusted face and pushed the staff away.
"No!" Rudy said. "No students from this dojo are forbidden from even entering the Black Dragon!"
"What?" Jack asked angrily. "You can't forbid me from doing anything!" he said walking forward and pointing to himself.
"How could you betray me like this?" Rudy exclaimed as Jerry, Milton, and Eddie began to take notice of their conversation. "If it wasn't for me you would've been banned from the mall for two weeks!"
Jack was definitely angry now.
"Banned from the mall?" he asked, positively livid. "Wait, you said I was going to Juvie!"
Rudy scoffed and walked away a few steps. "You know, I say a lot of things. I'm what they call chatty."
Jack walked forward and pointed right in Rudy's face.
"You lied to me! You broke the Wasabi Code!"
"Whaat?" Rudy said trying to look innocent, but it definitely wasn't fooling Jack.
"I didn't—Was—I—" Rudy stammered.
"Kim was right!" Jack said. "This place is a joke! I'm outta here!" he turned around and shoved the staff at Jerry, and then stormed out of the dojo.
"Fine!" Rudy called behind him before he was all the way out. "Go ahead!"
Jack just slammed the door and kept walking angrily.
~Fast forward to tournament~
Jack walked out to the middle of the floor, getting ready to face Kim in the vertical peg kick. He was once again part of the Bobby Wasabi dojo and had made up with Rudy. Eddie had won a belt in the tournament so far and so had Milton but he lost it when he did the illegal nipple twister so the guy he competed against.
Jack walked up and faced Kim.
"I was hoping we'd be on the same team, Jack," she said. "But now, I'm gonna have to take you down."
As they bowed Jack said, "You know I think you have a little crush on me." He smirked as she made a disgusted face.
"Ew! No!"
"Yeah," he said as he walked passed her and turned to face her again. "I think you do!"
He backed up and got ready to jump when suddenly he felt a shooting pain on the inside of his knee and he was thrown to ground, wincing in pain.
"Oh no he didn't!" Marge shouted as Rudy, Milton, Jerry, and Eddie ran over to help Jack.
"Rudy!" Jack said looking in the sensei's direction. "I can't get up!"
"Yes you can," Rudy said his hand on Jack's shoulder. "You're the champ! You gotta get up! You gotta get up champ!"
"Rudy!" Jack said quickly. "I can't get up because you're kneeling on my leg!"
"Oh sorry my bad!" Rudy said as he got up. All the guys helped Jack up from his position on the floor and helped him limp across the room. Jack knew what was going to happen now. Kim was going to have to kick the peg and Rudy wouldn't get his two belts, and that would be the end of Bobby Wasabi.
But as he turned around, he saw Kim coming in his direction, her robe, he noticed, didn't have her black belt tied on it anymore.
"So," she said giving him a concerned look. "Are you gonna be able to do this?"
Jack shook his head slightly, "I don't know."
"Your whole dojo's counting on you!" she said.
"If I do it," Jack began. "Will you admit you have a crush on me?"
"I do not have a crush on you!" she protested.
When she turned to the other members of the dojo they looked at her knowingly and said, "Mmmhmm…"
She took a step toward them threateningly and they cowered away.
Jack shoot his head and put his hands up, ready to jump.
"I can't believe he's gonna launch off one foot!" Milton said. "That's one bad mamma jamma!"
"He's not launching off his foot!" Eddie said. "He's launching off his hands!"
"That's only been done once before!" Rudy said. "By a man named… Bobby Wasabi."
"Whooaa," the guys replied.
Jack looked over at them and immediately knew he had to do this, for the good of the dojo, and for his friends.
He then flipped and kicked the peg off of the high pole and it flew around the room and hit Milton's dad, causing him to fall over. No one was concerned though, and everyone from Bobbi Wasabi raced over to Jack and they all put their arms around each other as Rudy took his second belt.
"We got our belts!" he said excitedly. "We get to keep the dojo!"
All of the Black Dragons immediately got up and walked out of the dojo in a huff.
"C'mon guys, we're goin home," Rudy said.
"You know what I'm feeling?" Jerry asked.
"I think we're all feelin' it." Jack replied as they all did high victory kicks in the air.
~.~.~.~.~
A couple days later, Jerry, Milton, Jack, and Eddie were all hanging out in the dojo.
"Hey guys," Jack said tossing an apple in the air and catching it. "C'mon let's get to work alright?"
He threw the apple again and failed to catch it, but was surprised when someone caught it on their foot and tossed up and caught it. It was Kim.
"Kim!" Jack said. "What're you doin here?"
"I quit the Black Dragon." She replied. "You guys were alright in the tournament, but the way I see it, you'll need all the help you can get!"
She held the apple back out to Jack and he took laughing slightly.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Jerry said, walking over. "You can't just walk in here and assume you're gonna be part of our dojo." Jack nodded backing up. Jerry continued, "You have to pass the test."
"Okay," Kim said as she backed up towards three dummies that were lined up. She did a series of karate moves and soon they were strewn all over the floor.
Jerry looked shocked but quickly composed himself and looked towards Jack, Eddie, and Milton, "What do ya think guys?"
"She's in!" Jack said smiling.
"Got my vote!" Eddie said.
"A+" Milton said.
Kim smiled. The spent the remainder of the day practicing and in that one afternoon, Kim was part of their circle of close friends.
