Just taking another break off Ninja. Sorry but right now, my mind's sort of out of ideas. Anyways...

Jack and Kim are called into the NJTMA, (National Juniors Teamwork Martial Arts Competition) in Japan. Rudy decides for them to leave about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Let's see Jack and Kim's reaction when they receive the invitation!

Jack entered the dojo with a yawn. He was as usual, early and bored! Jack decided to change and practice some new moves. So that's what he did for about 45 minutes and then realized that still nobody showed up.

Jack took out his phone and looked at the picture with a smile. It was a picture of him and Kim on the Wasabi fishing trip during the long 5 hour car ride.

Flashback

"Hey, Kim!" Jack poked the pretty girl with long blond hair, "You awake?"

"I am now," she turned around and glared at him.

Rudy had rented one of those 15 places vans for their trip. Eddie and Milton took the seat behind Jack and they both were snoring their heads off. Jerry took the seat closest to the back and he, too had fallen asleep. Rudy was driving while Bobby Wasabi, yes, was asleep. Kim took the first bench in front of everybody. Jack stole the one behind.

"So you want to play a game?" Jack asked, sounding like he was 5.

"Not now Jack," Kim groaned, "I'm still tired!"

"Come on, Kim! We've only been driving for two hours! we have another three to go!"

"Fine!" Kim smiled as she sighed, "But after that, you're on your own."

"Whatever," Jack rolled his eyes and the two ended up playing tic tac toe, rock paper scissor, and hangman for about an hour.

Jack's phone started ringing and he picked up before waking any of the other guys.

"Hello?"

Silence.

"Hello!"

"Hey, can I sleep now?" Kim's voice came up from the speakers.

Jack looked at her with a smile.

"I played 3 games with you already, Jack!"

"Whatever," Jack said as he ended the call.

"Hey is that a new phone?" Kim grabbed it out of his hand before he could respond.

"Yeah, since my last one ended up in the log," Jack replied.

Kim played with it for about five minutes.

"Hey Jack, let's take a picture!"

"What?"

"Come on, Jack," Kim begged.

"Alright," Jack leaned up behind his seat and grabbed Kim's shoulders.

She held up the phone and turned the camera to them before snapping the picture.

She turned the camera so that they could see the picture.

"Wow, that's a keeper," Jack said.

"You two are so cute together!" Rudy said as he glanced up in the rear view mirror.

The two of them blushed, Jack's hands still on Kim's shoulder.

Rudy hit a bump, sending Jack back and he hit his head against the window.

"Ow!"

"Jack you okay?" Kim asked, trying to look worried.

"Fine!"

Kim then covered her mouth and gave him a cute giggle.

Jack looked at her. Her light brown eyes filled with joy as she giggled. Oh, how he love that. Jack smiled back and joined in laughing.

End of Flashback

Jack smiled before texting Kim. (A/N: Italic = Jack, normal = Kim)

whatever, where r u?

i'm at phil's with the guys, shouldnt u b here, 2?

how come no 1 told me?

We thought u new!

alright ill be there

Jack tucked his phone in his pocket before running across the courtyard and into Falafel Phil's. As Kim had texted him, Rudy, Eddie, Milton, and Jerry sat talking. Kim sat next to an empty seat and looked up when Jack entered.

"Hey there," Kim smiled. She was wearing just a normal t-shirt and jeans but every time Jack sees her, she always looks beautiful.

"How come no one told me to come here?" Jack repeated as he took the empty seat.

"We told you, yesterday," Rudy said, "Practice is cancelled and to meet us here instead."

"Pay a little more attention, Jack," Kim nudged him.

"Whatever, so you guys ordered yet?"

"Actually, I have a little announcement before we start eating," Rudy stood up and pulled two envelopes out of his gi.

"Wow, envelopes, yo! Awesome!" Jerry piped up.

"It's for Jack and Kim," Milton added.

"Really?" they said at the same time and accepted it from their sensei.

Jack and Kim read over the letter, with wide eyes and in shock. Milton poked Eddie and whispered as their friends read the letter. Jerry tried leaning over to read it but Rudy pulled him down.

"Well?" Rudy asked when Jack and Kim exchanged a look.

"Unexpected," Kim suddenly smiled, "I can't believe it!"

"Me neither!" Jack gave Kim a hug.

"What is it?" Jerry yelled.

"It's an invite for the NJTMA competition in Tokyo, Japan!" Kim said.

"What's that?" Milton asked.

"National Junior Teamwork Martial Arts Competition," Jack explained.

"Yes," Rudy smiled, amused, "Jack and Kim will be working as a team in this competition."

"Really Rudy?" Kim asked.

"Awesome," Jack picked up a glass of water and started drinking.

"It's also Rudy's chance to get the two of them together," Eddie snickered.

Jack spat his water out and Kim blushed.

"No, it isn't," Rudy said, "I-I mean you two are amazing together."

His words made Jack blush and Kim's to deepen.

"No, wait, let me rephrase that," Rudy cleared his throat, "Remember at Bobby's house when you guys were attacked by ninjas?"

Jack and Kim slowly nodded.

"You two wiped them all out," Jerry smirked.

"What I'm trying to say is that your teamwork is amazing. Since you two started working with each other, it's been nothing but victory. Come on, you on for it?"

Jack and Kim exchange a look.

"Fine," they said at the same time.

"Alright then," Rudy lifted his class, "To victory!"

"Victory!" Everybody toasted and conversation started up again.

Everybody talked but Jack and Kim, who just sat looking down. Rudy's words still playing in their minds. Can they really become more than just friends after this competition?

Next chapter, they head off to the airport!
