Hey! I know this took a while but the Holidays took over my life, haha. So, anyways, let's get the ball rolling!

DISCLAIMER: I do not, shall not, and never will own Kickin' it

I LIKE SKIPPING TIME, SOOOOO – SENIOR YEAR!

{Kim's POV}

I walked into school to be bombarded with chattering girls, excited boyfriends, and a few hopeful people. There were flyers everywhere! You might be wondering what everyone is freaking over, the answer is simple. Prom.

Prom is only a mere two weeks away and I, like everyone else, was freaking out, just silently. Except, I was freaking out because my boyfriend, Jack, has not asked me to prom yet! I know he has time, but I need to pick my dress and make appointments for my hair and makeup. I'm actually kind of worried he won't ask me.

I forced my way through the mob of people in the hallway to my locker. When I finally reached my locker, I saw Jack leaning on it with a rose in his hands. When he saw me, his smile grew.

"Hey there Kimmy," Jack greeted me with a hug and kiss on the cheek. I smiled and probably turned red as a firetruck. Even after a year, he still made me blush.

"Hey Jackie, what's the flower for?" I asked, sniffing the rose. It was beautiful, a deep burgundy red color. I was kind of hoping he was going to ask me to prom.

"Our anniversary silly," He replied poking my nose, "Pick you up at 8, I gotta go to class, see ya!" He hugged me again and kissed my forehead. I was kind of stunned. I had been so caught up in prom, I totally forgot our anniversary! As soon as he was around the corner, I took off in search of my best friend, Grace.

"GRACE! GRACE! GRACE!" I shouted, running up to her gasping. She looked startled and confused with my rush.

"Me – anni – no – Jack – sweet – 8 –" I stumbled over my words. No person in their right mind would understand me, luckily, Grace isn't in her right mind.

"OMG! WE HAVE TO GO, NOW!" She shouted, pushing me out the door. I knew there was no use arguing, so I let her drag me away. It was Friday anyways.

"Ok, what should I get Jack for our anniversary?" I asked Grace, nervous as we walked through the mall.

"Well, is there someone or something really special in his life?" She asked.

"Ummm… Well, obviously karate and his grandfather." Was my reply, suddenly I thought of the perfect gift and dragged Grace out of the mall. I couldn't find this gift in a store.

TIME SKIP – AGAIN

I stood in front of my mirror, nervously checking over my appearance. I adorned myself in a flowy pink crop top over a yellow tank top with a floral skirt that ended just above my knee. I had gold strappy sandals on, also. My hair was pulled in a wrap around braid with my excess hair curled (AN: Like in Karate Games) and I had a little mascara and lip gloss. I held Jack's present, playing with it nervously.

I checked the time and noticed Jack would be here soon. I checked myself one last time, straightening my skirt when I heard a knock on the front door. I ran down the stairs and stopped abruptly in front of the door to catch my breath. I opened the door to find Jack smiling. He wore a white wife beater under a button front shirt with black skater jeans and black high tops.

He seemed almost nervous. I stepped out as he held out his hand for me. We walked hand-in-hand to his truck. It was really old but ran surprisingly well; it was a gift from his grandfather for his 16th birthday. He opened my door for me, like a gentlemen.

I blushed and climbed in. He hopped around to his door and clambered (AN: Look at me with fancy words ) in. he started the truck and we were off. After 15 minutes of singing along to the radio, we arrived at our destination, the park.

"Hey Jack, what are we doing at the park?" I inquired. The park was small and the majority of it was a playset. It was dark out, though the full moon kind of lit everything up.

"Just a little picnic," He smiled at me as he opened my door. He grabbed my hand and we went off into the park. It was empty and littered with trash. I noticed Jack didn't have a basket and there was none in my sight.

"What are we eating? You don't even have a basket," I pointed out as he guided me to a dark corner of the park, farther from the playset.

"That's because, our food is right here," He said as he guided me to the corner, through a gap between a couple trees where I noticed a small, flickering light. Jack pushed away a couple of low branches to find an umbrella-like tree that held a small "room" beneath its branches.

I gasped as I saw the beautiful setting. The ground was riddled with red rose petals and a red blanket. There were twinkly lights strewn about the branches above and a candle and basket set atop the blanket.

"Jack, this is beautiful!" I mumbled into his chest as I engulfed him in a hug. I heard him chuckle and smiled at the feeling of his heart rate quicken slightly. We sat down and began dividing the food, talking about random stuff.

During the desert course, I decided I should give Jack his gift. I handed him the box I had neatly wrapped.

"Here, I got this for you," I felt kind of awkward saying this, it sounded really insensitive and something you say to a distant relative. He unwrapped the gift slowly, careful not to rip the paper. His eyes softened as he opened the box and saw the small trinket. I smiled, knowing he loved the gift.

"Kim, how did you ever find this?!" He asked holding the thin fabric in his hands, smiling.

"Well, I may have had to go to a few different places, but I tracked it down at your granddad's original dojo, which I found through your dad and Bobby." I smiled as he hugged me. If you're wondering what I got him, it's his grandfather's first karate belt, which his dad (Jack's Great Grandfather) had made himself. Jack's grandfather passed away a few months ago, that was a tough time for him. He really wanted something special as a reminder, and I'm glad I was able to find it.

We separated and Jack slipped a box in my fingers. I looked at him and smiled, opening the box. Inside I found a silver charm bracelet. There were already a couple charms on it. One was shaped like a dog tag with my dog's name engraved on it. There was also a karate belt shaped one with a tag that said China. It must've been from our last tournament in China. There were a couple more of charms, but one stood out; an apple. This was actually very significant to me.

FLASHBACK

I walked into the lunch room, tossing an apple in the air and catching it. As I turned towards my table, I tossed my apple too hard and couldn't catch it. Just before it hit the floor, someone caught it with their shoes. They tossed in back up into the air and caught it.

"Alright, that was almost cool," I said, looking at him. The boy seemed familiar, like I had seen him before. I couldn't quite place it.

"Hey, Kim, right?" He questioned. I was a little surprised he knew who I was until I remembered being introduced to him this morning.

"Uh, yeah, and you're Jack," I said this almost as a question, even though I had remembered his name.

"Yep," he simply replied. We stood there awkwardly for a moment before I spoke up. I may or may not have been "checking him out" so to speak.

"Can I have my apple back?" I asked him, giggling. Giggling, really? I thought to myself. He nodded like he had forgotten about it and handed it back to me. We said our goodbyes and walked off.

ENDFLASHBACK

So, even if we met earlier in the day, we liked to signify that day with the apple. It was so simple and beautiful. I loved the bracelet!

"I love it, Jack!" I told him. He smiled and helped me clip the bracelet on. We continued our picnic while chatting about our upcoming tournament. We're headed to Hawaii in a couple weeks! This is going to be awesome.

"Hey, I have a surprise for you," Jack said when we were finished eating. He stood and held out his hand. I grabbed his hand and he helped me up, which he then released and covered my eyes.

"Really? Do you have to blindfold me?" I whined, I really wasn't one for big surprises, I get kind of anxious. Jack just chuckled and began guiding me. I felt branches sweep gently past my arms as we left our little spot. I felt a rush of cold air as, I'm guessing, we stepped out from the trees.

"Are you ready for you surprise?" Jack whispered in my ear. His hot breath sent chills down my spine. I nodded vigorously and heard a throaty laugh behind me.

When Jack uncovered my eyes, I could not believe my eyes! We were standing in front of the old pond that usually looked awful, but now, it was amazing! There were twinkly lights strewn through the surrounding trees, giving the night and beautiful glow. The pond sparkled and then did I notice pink and red rose petals floating on the surface of the water. There were also a couple paper lanterns in the water.

I noticed a few roses at my feet, but they were laid in some sort of pattern. I then read it. The message. I almost burst into tears then and there! I turned towards Jack to find him holding a bouquet of roses and a couple lilies. I covered my mouth, trying to muffle my cries. I nodded quickly and jumped into his arms, kissing him passionately.

"YES! YES! YES! OF COURSE!" I said happily in his ear. He chuckled and held me tighter.

I was answering the message I was praying he didn't forget. He had officially asked me to prom, and I couldn't be happier.

Ok! That took longer than expected, but I was kind of on writer's block, also I began like two more stories, haha. Oh well, I liked it, hopefully it doesn't seem rushed or weird with the apple flashback… I couldn't really change my first chapter and I wanted to add that charm, so, yeah…

Anyways, there may or may not be a chapter or two in the future;) probably just another, depends on my mood;)

Bye!3
