"Not much." He shrugged. "Well, they told me a lot, but I don't remember any of it, so it doesn't feel like much."

"Did they tell you about the time you saved the Dojo from being torn down by some spoiled rich kid?"

"Yeah." He nodded. "They also told about the time that guy, Ricky Weaver came to town."

"O-oh." She stuttered, remembering the events of Ricky Weaver and, after his concert, her and Jack went on a sort of date.

"Milton told me you and I helped him get a girlfriend."

She smiled. "Yeah. How about the time we helped Jerry out of detention so he could compete in the karate tournament?"

"Yup." He nodded. "Eddie said I went to China for a karate tournament."

"You did. Well, we all did, but you were the one who competed. You did really good, but you had to forfeit because your cousin was scared to fight you."

Jack sighed heavily. "The guys told me you…asked me to a cotillion."

"Right." She played with her hands. "You said no, but I ended up finding another date."

He felt his stomach churn; he may not have remembered her, but he was instantly jealous when he thought of her and another guy.

"Turns out, he was a Black Dragon, a karate student for the dojo that tried to get ours shut down. Only, I didn't know until we were at the cotillion and he tried to embarrass me in front of everyone."

"What a jerk." He said.

"Yeah." She let out a small laugh. "But you showed up…and you kind of saved me." She smiled at him.

Jack smiled, leaned in and kissed her cheek.

Kim blushed and cleared her throat. "Did they also tell you that you saved the Striped Beach Vole?"

"It sounds like I did a lot."

"You did. You changed everything, Jack." She took his hand and tangled their fingers together. "You did so much for the guys and boosted their confidence. I don't know how things would be right now if you weren't here."

He squeezed her hand lightly. "I really wish I hadn't forgotten you." He whispered. "There's something about you, Kim. I can't put my finger on it, but I can't imagine being without you."

Kim wanted to cry; she really liked Jack, and the fact that he forgot who she was, even though the doctor said it was temporary, made her heart ache.

She cleared her throat. "Come on, let's get you back to the dojo." She pulled him out of his seat walked out of Falafel Phil's.


"Any luck?" Rudy asked Jack and Kim when they walked into the dojo.

"No." Kim shook her head. "Sorry, Rudy, but looks like it's not happening today."

"Awww!" Rudy slapped his hand against his forehead. "The record archivist is going to be here any minute to see Jack break the record."

"You'll just have to call him and cancel."

"I can't!" He grabbed fistfuls of his hair and tugged at it. "He's already here!"

Kim turned to the front doors and her eyes widened at the sight of the man in a brown blazer, dress pants, and dress shoes. "Just stall him!" She grabbed Jack's hand and ran into Rudy's office.

"Uh, sir!" Rudy chuckled nervously, shaking the man's hand. "How are you?"

"I'd be better if we got this over with." He looked over his clipboard.

Rudy gulped and looked around, his eyes landing on Jerry. "Have you, uh, have you met the boy going for the world's longest armpit hair?" He guided him over to his student.


Back in Rudy's office, Kim was panicking, wondering how she could get Jack to remember everything he had forgotten in just two minutes.

"I don't understand." Jack said, watching her pace back and forth. "What's going on?"

"You were supposed to break the world record for most bricks being broken by someone under fifteen." She sighed. "I'm sorry, Jack."

"Oh." He knit his eyebrows together. "I should be the one apologizing."

"It's not your fault you lost your memory." She put a hand on his shoulder.

"No." He sighed. "But…still."

"It's okay, Jack." She leaned up and kissed his cheek.

Jack watched her closely, getting butterflies in his stomach just by her touch. He closed his eyes and let out a big breath.

As Kim pulled away, she felt him grab the back of her neck and pull her in, kissing her on the lips. She didn't hesitate to kiss him back, thinking he wouldn't remember it anyways.

Jack's eyes went wide as every scenario involving Jerry, Eddie, Milton, him, and Kim raced through his mind.

He pulled away, gasping for breath.

"Jack?" Kim asked, concerned. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." He panted. "Fine."

"Well, we have to go out there and tell everyone the truth." She took his hand and led him out of Rudy's office.

He kept quiet, not sure whether or not he should tell her he remembered everything, including their conversation earlier that day and their kiss just now.

"Rudy." Kim called, waving him over.

"Anything?" He asked.

"No." She shook her head, letting go of Jack and walking over the visitor. "Listen." She told him. "Jack-."

"I'm ready." Jack announced, taking a step forward.

"Very well." The man said, walking outside where everything was set up.

"Jack, what are you doing? You can't remember anything!" Kim exclaimed.

"It'll be fine." He sighed, closing his eyes. "I…I remember everything."

Kim's mouth gaped opened and she watched him walk out of the dojo to the set of bricks waiting to broken.


What happens now that Jack remembers? o:
