It was just a normal day in the dojo. The Wasabi Warriors were taking part in another competition, with their dojo hosting the others. The karate-taking, feisty blonde was performing her routine that she had practiced for hours on end for the past week with the help of her best friend Jack Anderson. The aforementioned girl, Kim Crawford, wasn't really nervous about messing up, there was only one thing that she ever got nervous about. Jack Anderson, her brunette, handsome best friend who had quite the hero complex. Lately she had been getting butterflies in her stomach and the simplest touch, be it a high five or a hug, sent her thoughts into a frenzy and tingles throughout her body.

She hadn't always felt like this. It was only when Joan caught her blushing after Jack hugged her once did she finally admit to herself what was going on. The blackbelt was halfway through her routine when she saw Rudy, her sensei, talking to a Japanese man over at the entrance of the dojo. The two walked over to her after she finished her routine.

"Kim, this is Master Tanaka. He's from the Otai Academy. He saw you performing and he told me that he'd be interested in accepting you to the Otai Academy." Rudy told Kim.

"WHAT!?" squealed Kim.

"Whose the greatest sensei ever? This guy!" Rudy gloated.

By now the other members of the dojo, Milton, Jerry, Eddie and Jack had walked over to see why their best friend was jumping up and down.

"What's going on?" Jack asked, a confused look crossing his face.

"I got got offered a spot at the Otai Academy!" Kim yelled.

"Wait, Kim, what are you talking about?" Jack asked

"I'm moving to Japan." Kim explained.

They started congratulating her, but none of them noticed the other boy slipping out of the dojo un-noticed. It was no secret to their friends that they liked each other, even Phil and Bobby Wasabi could see the feelings the two had for each other. Everyone except them that is.

~The Next Day~

All of the students who studied at the Bobby Wasabi dojo and her other friends who didn't practice karate were gathered within the dojo to say goodbye to Kim.

Everyone except Jack Anderson. He couldn't bring himself to walk in those doors, it would just make it even more real that she was leaving. That his best friend, who he has had a secret crush on ever since that doll-haired jerk had tried to use her, was leaving. Kim saw him sitting outside of the dojo, with an envelope in his hands.

"He made me one too?" Kim said to herself.

Kim quickly excused herself from Milton, who, at the moment, was talking about the possibility of life on other planets or something else like that, and grabbed the letter she wrote to Jack that she had stashed in her backpack.

"Hey, Jack." she said.

"Hey Kim. I... umm... wrote you a letter, explaining some things I wanted you to know." Jack told her.

"I guess we had the same idea, I wrote you a letter too." Kim replied, while lightly blushing.

"Promise me you'll wait until you're on the plane to read it?" he said.

"I would.. but I decided not to go." Kim said.

"Why not?" queried Jack.

"Oh, I don't know, thought it would cost me too much." Kim said, while quickly glancing at him, then back at everyone in the dojo.

"Well, since you're not going, I might as well just say it." Jack stuttered, whilst nervously pulling on his shirt.

"Kim, I like you. I've liked you ever since Ricky Weaver. I was wondering if maybe you would be my...?"

The teenage boy was silenced by Kim throwing his arms around his neck and kissing him. Jack was taken by surprise, but soon kissed back.

"I take it that means you like me back and a yes to being my girlfriend?" Jack asked her, after pulling away slowly from the blonde after air became a necessity.

"What do you think?" Kim asked, as she looked into his eyes.

The two were broken out of their staring contest by loud applauding and cheers. The two teens looked over to see all of their friends, their sensei, Phil, Joan and Bobby Wasabi standing there, with knowing looks on their faces.

"PAY UP!" Rudy announced, as a chorus of groans were heard and people started taking out their wallets.

"You bet on us?" Kim queried, whilst taking a menacing step forward.

"Noooo?" Rudy responded, his voice going higher and higher.

Jack seeing she was about to pounce, draped his arm around her shoulders and placed a kiss on his girlfriend's forehead to calm her down.

"Come on, let's go back inside. We have to celebrate you staying now, babe." Jack said. Kim kissed his cheek, grabbed his hand and intertwined their fingers.

Kim finally had everything she wanted. Good grades, she was finally back on the cheer squad again, and she finally was dating Jack, her best friend and the boy that she had had a crush on for the past two months. Everything was perfect.

~The End~
