Hey guys! I just wrote out what I thought would happen if Jack actually went to the Otai Academy in the episode 'Hit the Road, Jack'. This one goes out to KarateGirl77, who requested it. Hope you enjoy!

Jack's POV

I can't believe I'm leaving Seaford, the first place I've ever been able to call my home. This is so surreal; it feels like some sort of twisted dream. I look out the window until tiny houses and buildings disappear beneath me. I can see the mall, and my house, and Kim's house, and the school. Goodbye, Seaford. Tears spring, unbidden, to my eyes. Goodbye, Kim. That's when I remember the letter she gave me. I wonder if she's reading mine now. I open my bag and take out the letter, then open the envelope she decorated with stickers. I smile.

Dear Jack,

If you're reading this, you're probably on the plane right now. I don't really know how to tell you this, so I'm going to come right out and say it. I love you. And not just as a friend, but as more than that. I know I always denied it, but that's because I didn't want to ruin the amazing friendship we have.

I never thought it would come to this- that you'd be moving to a different country hundreds of miles away, and that I'd be stuck in same old, boring Seaford. Which, for the record, is going to be even more boring now that you're gone.

I'm gonna miss you way more than you think, and if I'd known last week or even last month that you'd be moving, I'd have found the guts to tell you how I really feel about you. But now you're leaving in less than 10 minutes, and it's too late for that, so I'm pouring my heart out to you in this letter instead. Pathetic, huh?

I would've told you that every time I see you laughing with another girl, I die a little inside because I want so badly for that to be me, and I can't make it be. Now, you're going to meet a beautiful, amazing girl and fall in love with her, and I'm just going to become that girl you used to know way back when.

I'm never going to forget the day I first met you. Remember? That was almost cool. I'm Kim. And that was just the beginning. All those times I spent with you, at Phil's , or sparring at the dojo, or even just laughing about random things? I'll never forget those either. They've all got a special spot in my heart. You're the best friend- and crush- that I could ever ask for.

I understand if you don't feel the same about me- after all, almost all the girls at school have a crush on you! But, even if I never hear from you again, at least I know that you got to find out how I truly feel about you. I just hope knowing this doesn't kill our friendship.

Thank you for always being there for me. I'll always have your back; no matter when or where you are, I'll always be here for you when you need me, Jack.

Forever yours, Kim.

I finish reading, eyes brimming with tears. Kim.. She felt the same way about me all this time? I turn the envelope over and something falls out.

It's a beautiful leather-and-metal bracelet, with a message engraved inside it: I'll always be your biggest fan, no matter how far away you are. Love always, Kim Crawford.

I slide it onto my wrist, then pick up the other item that fell out. It's a picture of Kim and I, after one of our tournaments. We're smiling like crazy because we both just won our fights.

I tuck everything except the bracelet back into my backpack and fall asleep. It's a long, long way to Japan.

What did you think? If you liked it, I can write what I think Jack's letter would say, too, and maybe turn this into a story, but it's your choice. If you want me to continue, just review telling me so. Thanks for reading and please go check out my other book, The Story of Us! Review please!
