Hi everybody! This is my very first fanfiction so please no harsh comments. Though I would appreciate it if you could tell me if you see some of my punctuation and spelling wrong. Enjoy!


Jack's POV

The school bell rang throughout the school telling everybody classes were over. "Yes!" I thought. "Now I can go to the dojo!"

I threw my skateboard down on the pavement and rode several blocks to the strip mall down the road. I skidded to a halt in front of the dojo, The Raging Rhino's. I had joined over a year ago and they still aren't over the fact that my grandfather was the sensei of Bobby Wasabi. Ya, our dojo isn't named after him, but common! He was a famous movie star!

I picked up my skateboard and ran inside. I opened my locker and put my skateboard and helmet inside I snatched my gi and ran to the men's locker room.

"Hi Alex! Hi Dan!" I said changing into my gi. "Hi Jack!" they answered in unison.

"Typical twins" I thought. "Almost everything about them are alike!"

I finished tying my black belt around my waist and ran out into the training room again. I saw my sensei and asked, "Hi Troy. What are we working on today?"

He answered, "I think that you are ready for the 540 roundhouse kick. This is a very extreme move, so we're going to take it nice and slow."

"What? So you don't trust me?" I countered with a cocky grin.

Troy stroked an imaginary beard and said sarcastically, "Ummmm... no."

"Fine. I'll be careful." I promised.

"Good," he said.

I watched carefully as he showed me the move. He jumped and whipped his foot around in a wide arch, landing gracefully. I smirked, "I can do that."

Troy challenged, "Ok. Show me."

I jumped and did an exact replica of what he had done, except for the ending. While I was landing I tripped over the mat and stumbled back a few steps. When I had regained my composure I looked back up at my sensei who looked, proud?

He praised, "That was great!" I wish I'd done that well on my first try!"

I disagreed, "What?!I did awful! I should have done better."

Troy shook his head and sighed,"Jack. Stop beating yourself up! You did great!"

He then showed me a few minor things that I had messed up and commanded, "Now try again. Just do it farther away from the edge of the mat."

I obeyed and tried again, doing it perfectly. I smiled and did it again, and again, and again, until Troy said it was time for sparring.

The rest of Troy's students walked over to us. Besides me there was Alex, Dan, and Rose. Troy said, "Okay... Dan, you spar with Alex, and Jack, you go with Rose.

Rose, the only girl, yelled, "Finally, some competition!"

I teased, "Yup, for you."

She punched me hard in the arm and said, "No way am I gonna let you win this time!"

We sparred for several minutes until I tried my new trick on her. I hit her smack on the shoulder and she fell down, hard, on the mat. Rose stood up slowly and groaned, "Good job. I didn't expect you to do that."

I smirked and looked around the dojo. Alex and Dan were already done sparring and Alex, yet again, was the winner. Troy yelled, " Ok everybody. Practice is over! I would advise you to get a good nights sleep. Tomorrow is Saturday and I need you all here bright and early!"

After hearing this we all scattered to the locker rooms. I looked at my watch, it read 6:07. "Wow," I thought. "I've been here for over three hours! I've got to get home!"

I finished changing out of my gi. Then I folded it up and put it inside my locker, grabbing my skateboard and helmet on the way out.

I dropped my skateboard onto the sidewalk, stepped on, and rode home. When I reached my driveway, I picked my skateboard up off the pavement and walked into my house. My house was perfect size for my family. We had three bedrooms, three bathrooms, one office, one kitchen, one dining room, one living room, one sunroom, and the garage. I yelled, "Mom! Dad! I'm home!"

I ran up the stairs and into my room. I dropped my skateboard and helmet in my closet and sat on the bed. I thought, "Nothing can get better than this. I have wonderful parents, an adorable little sister, perfect friends, and a beautiful house. I even have a nice neighborhood for goodness sakes!"

After sitting in my room for several minutes, my Mom called, "Jack! Nora! Time for Dinner!"

I walked down the stairs and into the dining room. I sat down at the table and glanced at my plate, it was Nora's and my favorite, Chicken Alfredo. My mom asked, "So Jack? How was school?"

I answered, "It was good. We had a pop quiz in science but it wasn't very hard."

My Mom said, "Good, I'm glad you had a great day."

I could tell that my parents were nervous about something, but I couldn't figure out what. So I asked, "What are you guys nervous about?"

My Dad sighed, "Son, my job is moving. Unless we move too, I will lose my job."

"What?! So what are we going to do?" I asked. Even though I already knew the answer. He answered, "We're moving."
