Disclaimer: I do NOT in any way own Kickin' It. No matter how much I'd like to

I don't know if any of you have noticed, but I'm exactly the most—creative guy around. My chapter names are pretty pathetic and the story title is just about on the same level. So I hope you can overlook those and just enjoy the story. I'm glad no one has really complained or given me any criticism, but it's only a matter of time, right?

Without further ado, enjoy!

Chapter IV: Dancin' It

The long awaited bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. Not just any school day, but the second last school day, also known as the second best day of the your if you exclude all holidays such as Christmas, Easter, New year's eve and so on. Students quickly flood the halls, going to their nearly cleaned out lockers to put away their books and head on home. But now was the time for a certain gang of four teenagers, they were headed to their second home, also known as The Bobby Wasabi Dojo.

"Whoooooo! It's almost the last day of school!" Jerry exclaimed as he and Milton arrived at their lockers, busy put away their belongings and also trying to clear up as well, seeing how tomorrow's the last day of school. Jerry pulled out a text book that had 'Math' written on it, "Should I keep this?" He asked Milton with a casual look on his face.

Milton just looked at his friend as if he was crazy, "Yes, yes you should," Milton replied. "You have to return it to homeroom by tomorrow or else you'll have to pay a fine." He explained.

Jerry simply looked at Milton, then back at the text book. He shrugged then threw it in a waste basket across the hall, "Three pointer!" He exclaimed, chuckling at himself a little. Milton sighed and shook his head at his unbelievable friend.

Just as that was happening, Jack and Kim walked in. Jack's arm was unnoticeably around her shoulder. They had been going steady (going out) for almost a month now and it was probably safe to say that they were the most popular couple in school. Most likely because of the fact that any girl in school would pounce at the chance to go out with Jack. And same with many of the boys with Kim.

"Hey, what's going on you two?" Milton asked, clearly acknowledging the two grins that his favorite couple were sporting at the moment.

"Oh, nothing, Milton, we're just happy that school is almost over with," Jack replied, "Can't wait till summer starts. We can't waste a minute of our summer." He added.

"Okay, I'm all set." Jerry said, now sporting his duffle bag.

Jack and Kim walked up to their lockers and started put their things away, "Okay, give us a second and we'll meet you guys out front to walk to the dojo." Jack said. Milton and Jerry nodded before walking away.

While they were at their lockers (That are next to each other, FYI) Jack noticed two small pictures next to the little mirror she had on the inside of the door of her locker, "Hey, are those the picture I gave you? The ones we took at the photo booth by the pier?" He asked, pointing to the two pictures.

Kim nodded, "Yeah," She replied. "You still have yours?" She asked hopefully.

Jack smiled, "Of course." He replied, pulling out his wallet and showing her the two pictures he had of them in his safe keeping.

She smiled sweetly at him. She was really glad he wouldn't forget the times that they spent together. She was shocked at first when they found them when he was clearing out his locker in the dojo. So this wasn't much of a really big surprise for him really.

He smiled back. They grabbed their duffle bags before closing their own lockers and following their two other friends to the path that they took to the front of the school. Jack put his arm around Kim's shoulder before she spoke, "Hey, Jack, I'm glad Jerry and Milton aren't weirder out by us dating." She said, getting a nodded from Jack. "And I'm really glad it hasn't affected our friendship with them either." She added.

"Don't worry, Kim, nothing's gonna change if you don't want it to." He said, kissing her on the cheek before walking out the front doors of the school.

When the group arrived at the dojo, they realized something had happened when they saw Rudy talking to two tall gentlemen in tuxedos and sun glasses. The group couldn't hear what they were saying from where they were, and by the time they ran up to them, the two mysterious men were already walking away, leaving Rudy with a frown and a pondering face.

"Yo, Rudy, what's going on?" Jerry asked, in worry.

Rudy must have no noticed the group's entrance appearance until Jerry spoke, seeing how he nearly jumped in surprise. He seemed a little fidgety, something he did when he was hiding something or when he was nervous, "It's nothing. Those were just s-some old friends of mine." He spoke, clearly not very confident in his words. "Let's go in and start practicing, we have that summer icebreaker tournament coming up in two weeks." He finished, leading the group inside the dojo.

When they got changed, everyone got straight into it. Sparing with each other, while at the same time getting advice and tips for Rudy. They practiced on dummies and punching bags. Jack wasn't really training much himself, he was mostly going around to the others here and there, seeing where he could help or give some advice. He almost acted like a second sensei, which didn't seem to bother any of his friends or Rudy at all.

Halfway through the practice, they took a break. They would all sit around, talk, walk and rest until Rudy came out of his office or whenever they got fed up and just started without him. Sometimes Rudy can be in there for as long as another hour or as short as half an hour, depends on his mood really.

While Kim, Jerry and Milton sat on the benches, talking about who knows what, Jack took the time only to rest for a while, but he got right back in it quickly by practice his bo staff routine. Every so often, the three others would watch him in awe as he did his routine, "He's gotten better than he was before—if that's even possible…" Jerry said as they couldn't peel their eyes off the majestic performance that was happening right before his eyes.

It was if he was one with the staff, swinging it around, twirling it at incredible speeds and with such flawlessness as well.

"Yeah, I was really surprised when he told us he decided not to go to the Otay Academy in Japan." Milton said. "He's definitely one of the best in the world in our age group.

"Yeah well we already know whose fault it is that Jack didn't go." Jerry said, glaring playfully at Kim, who didn't realize until a few seconds later. She just glared at him for real, sucker punching him in the stomach, knocking the air clean out of his lungs. He dropped on the floor, playing dead on the ground while trying to suck the air back into his lungs.

When Jack to a break from his bo staff routine, he went to his locker. Kim took this opportunity to talk to him about something important, "Hey, Jack." She greeted

"Hey, Kim," He replied, kissing her on the cheek. "What's up?"

"Oh, nothing, I was just wondering if you had something to say to me." She said, giving him a flutter of her eye lids. Jack thought hard for a moment, he had a feeling he was missing something really important, "Oh come on, Jack, think harder."

He eyed his girlfriend for a moment before replying, "You did something with your hair..!" He finally said.

Se quirked her eyebrow before replying, "Yes, but—"

She was cut off by Jack saying something quickly after, "You got highlights, didn't you!" He said, grinning wildly.

Her eyes lit up, "Woah, yeah I did, I can't believe you noticed!" She said.

"Well, I did and they look really nice." He said, placing a quick kiss on her cheek.

"Thanks, Jack," She said returning the kiss, "But that's not it." The smile on Jack's face quickly dropped.

He began to ponder again, but he couldn't come up with a reasonable answer. "Awh, c'mon, Jack, it's a question you're supposed to ask me." She hinted with a smile. The hint didn't help Jack much, if anything it just confused him even more. When Kim realized that this wasn't going anywhere, she spoke again. "Tomorrow, what's happening tomorrow?" She hinted again.

This time, the thinking expression on Jack's face grew. Tomorrow—what's happening tomorrow. "Oh no, It's not your birthday, is it?" He said with a worried expression.

Kim could glare at him, "No..!" She replied.

Jack let out a sigh of relief, "I was kidding, Kim, I know your birthday isn't for another month or so." He said, the glaring stopped.

Kim let out a sigh of regret, "Fine, I guess I'll just tell you." She spoke, a smile appearing on Jack's face. "Tomorrow's the school dance and you haven't asked me yet." She said, a big blush appearing on his face.

Jack's expression was blank for a little while as he processed the information. "Oh, the dance!" He said, letting out a little chuckle that confused Kim a little. "Well, you see, I thought since we're already going out, I didn't have to ask you, we were kind of just going." Jack said with a small blush on his face.

Kim was a little shocked at his response, but shook it off. Jerry came up to them, hearing the topic of dance come up. "Don't worry, Kim, it's a guy thing. All guys think the same thing if they have no experience dating." He said. "Observe." He pulled out his cellphone, hit a button before placing it against his ear.

There was a moment of silence as the ringing could be faintly heard around the dojo before someone picked up. "Hey, Chloe, me, you, dance?" He said smoothly. There was a little faint chattering that everyone heard coming from his cellphone before his smirk dropped a little. "Oh, you thought we were already going to getting because we are dating..?" He said, causing Kim and Jack to burst out laughing. There was a little more chattering before he hung up the phone. He didn't say anything, just glared at Jack before going back to his spot on the bench.

"I already took the liberty of asking Julie to the dance." Milton said, stepping in. "Hey, Jack, Kim, we should double date!" He suggested with excitement in his voice. Jack and Kim shared surprised looks before looking at each other.

Kim gave Jack a stern look to reply, he started thinking, but firm punch in the arm from Kim got the words to come out "Uh—we'll get back to you on that." He said. Milton nodded with a smile in response, letting a sigh of relief to leave Jack's lips.

"Hey, Jack, did you talk to your parents about throwing the end of the year party I talked to you abuot?" Jerry asked while now munching on a burrito.

"Yeah, actually I did," Jack replied. "And guess what, he said yes. Party after tomorrow nice. First floor only though." Jack said.

Jerry jumped up so high he almost hit the roof, "Dude, that's awesome!" He said, going up to the brunet and giving him a high five.

"But try to keep this a little exclusive, I don't want a bunch of people showing up at my door ready to bring it down. Remember what happened when we threw that party at the dojo?" Jack said with a little chuckle.

Jerry nodded. "No problem, dude, no need to worry, I'll organize the only thing." He said before flipping out his cell phone and walking out of the dojo.

"My mom's coming to help me pick out a dress for tomorrow, need a ride home, Jack?" Kim asked. He shook his head in response. "Okay, I'll see you later tonight." She said. She grabbed her things from her locker. She didn't head into the showers before kissing him on the cheek.

When she was had disappeared into the back of the dojo, Jack found himself smiling at her even when she wasn't physically there. Milton came up behind him with a creepy smile. Jack lost his smile when he felt Milton behind him, "Milton, what are you doing?" He asked with a dull expression.

"You have that look you always have before you do something crazy." Milton replied.

Jack quirked an eyebrow in confusion. "I have a look like that?" He asked, getting a few nods from Milton. "Well I just wanna do something really special for Kim. She's really been looking forward to this dance for a while now. Now that I think about it, she hasn't stopped bringing it up for the last week or so." He said.

"Oh, oh, oh you should do a dance for her on stage tomorrow at the dance!" Milton suggested in excitement.

"No way," Jack retorted immediately after listening to his friend's suggestion. "Everyone knows I'm just as bad as Kim when it comes to dancing." He said.

Milton thought for a moment before replying, "Well if that's the case, why not just buy her some chocolates?"

"Oh, c'mon, Milton, let's think outside of the box here!" Jack replied.

Milton took another moment to think before speaking, "Sing, you should sing for her on stage!"

Jack flabbergasted at the suggestion. "Psh, sing, I can't sing. I'm a karate guy, singing isn't in my dictionary."

"But, you just said 'sing' three times in the same senten—" Milton was cut off by Jack.

"Not the point!" He said with another dull expression, but his expression went from dull to serious before he spoke again. "Do you really think I should do it?" He asked with a hint of nervousness.

Jack got really weirded out when Milton put his arm around his shoulder. "Jack, my young friend, if I ever learned anything in my life, it's that singing is the true key to a girls' heart." He said. Jack nodded in agreement. "And also, Jerry cries like a pregnant lady. But that's another story for another day." He patted him on the shoulder before heading into the change room.

Jack could only ponder on the idea that his friend had given him. "Hm, singing-not a bad idea Milton…" He thought out loud before rushing out of the dojo.

The next day after school, Jack rushed home on his skate board to get ready for the dance. He shower, brushed his teeth and his hair. He stood in front of the mirror in his room for what seemed to be an hour when suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Come in." He said, no pulling his eyes from the mirror. In the reflection, he could see Kim walk in.

Jack immediately stopped fiddling with his tie now. He couldn't stop staring at her. She looked beautiful for one thing. Kim wore a beautiful silk turquoise strapless dress that went down to her mid thighs. She also wore a pair of matching heels. She wasn't wearing much makeup, probably because Jack always tells her she doesn't need it. She had her long blond hair tied up in a bun.

She smiled from the attention Jack's eyes were giving her. "Woah, Kim, you look—amazing..!" he said, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Awh, thanks, Jack, you do too." She said, wrapping her arms around his neck. She began to tie his tie for him, seeing how he was struggling to when she walked in. Jack wore a black tuxedo with a white dress shirt underneath it and shiny black dress shoes.

When she finished, she pecked him on the lips. "I hate how they made this thing formal." He whined.

"Why? Not enough eye candy?" She asked him, shooting him a quick flirty wink.

He smirked wildly at her comment. "Nah, there's just enough." He said, pulling her close by her waist. They stared into each other's eyes for a moment before Jack spoke again, "Oh yeah, this is for you." He said, running over to his night table and the running back to her with a white box in hand.

Kim was about to ask what it was, but before she could he opened the box reveal a beautiful yellow and blue corsage. Her eyes widened at how beautiful the flower was. "It's beautiful, Jack." She said. He took it out of the box. She offered him her wrist so he could carefully place it.

She admired it some more and how it looked on her wrist. "A beautiful flower, for a beautiful girl." He said sweetly. He cupped her face before kissing her square on the lips. They held it for a few seconds before breaking it.

"Thank you, Jack, I love it." She said after they broke the kiss, their faces still close.

"You deserve it, Kim." He replied when suddenly the door opened reveal Jack's parents, Bruce and Giselle. What was it with famous people and constantly dressing formally?

"Oh my goodness, Brucey, look how cute they look!" His step mother exclaimed. She pulled out her iphone. "Just a few pictures before we drive you to the dance." She said.

They only snapped a few dozen pictures before Bruce was finally able to get her to stop. They got a few against the wall and some on the balcony with the beautiful background. "Okay, kids, let's go, and don't worry, Jack, we got the chauffeur to drive." He said.

Jack smiled at his dad before handing him a piece of paper. "Give these to him, their Jerry and Milton's addresses."

After picking up Milton, Julie, Jerry and Chloe, the limo made its way to the school. It was a little cliché to show up to a high school dance in a limo, but Jerry really wanted to, so Jack finally agreed to it. When they arrived at the school they got a lot more attention than they were expecting, but Jack just ignored it all and made led the group to the gym, linking arms with Kim.

When they got there, the party was already in over drive. Music was blasting, people were dancing. The gym was decorated so well, with balloons of all colors, streamers and banners, as well as confetti all over the place. There was a lot of food, drinks and snack s as well. On the stage was a group of people that were taking care of the music. And of course the one microphone and stand that stood in the middle of the stage. Jack gulped when he led eyes on it.

When they entered, he immediately pulled Kim to the dance floor and started dancing with her. He tried his best to get her to dance normally, but sometimes she couldn't help it. But what the heck, if you can't stop her, join her. They danced for a while, just losing track of time. Whenever a slow song came on there was a lot more room because of people awkwardly walking off the dance floor, but it was their favorite part.

Towards the end of the dance they started calling up people to sing to any song they wanted. A few people went up but they were pretty pathetic to say the least. Towards the end of one of the people's performances Jack said he was going to the bathroom, leaving Kim with Milton and Julie.

"Thank you, Albert, for that wonderful—performance," The DJ said. He was using the microphone so his voice was amplified out to the entire gym. Albert walked off the stage panting as hard as ever.

"Now who's next?" The DJ asked. No one stepped up this time. "Anyone, anyone at all." He said.

Just as everyone thought that no one was going, someone walked onto stage from the side. Everyone's jaws dropped when they saw who walked on stage. "FRANK, YOU CAN'T SING FOR YOUR LIFE, GET OFF STAGE!" Everyone said in unison. Frank's wild grin became a frown before he carried himself off to the side of the stage he came from.

"Okay anyone, but Frank." The DJ said, causing everyone to laugh. He waited for a moment. When no one volunteered he spoke again. "How about you, Jack?" He asked. Right on cue, Jack came walking in from the side of the stage. Immediately Kim's heart started racing and her jaw nearly dropped. Jack can sing!?

When he settled in front of the microphone, everyone awaited a cheesy, pathetic introduction. But instead, music started to play and Jack started to sing.

Had Me Hello

By: Olivia Holt& Luke Benward

"I can feel you comin' from a mile away. My pulse stops racing from the words that you say" He started, his voice a little shaky from the nervousness. "And you say so many of them like you don't have a clue. That I'm signed, sealed delivered with a stamp on."

Then the beat dropped, "You don't have to try too hard, you already have my heart." He sang with a charming voice. "You don't got a thing to prove, I'm already into you—So!"

"Hold, Hold, Hold, hold me tight now, cause I'm so, so good to go. Don't say, don't say good night you know," He sang. "You had me at hello-o. Oh, you had me at hello. Had me at hello. Don't say, don't say good night you know, cause you had me at hello."

"Close your mouth now baby don't say a word. Cause you ain't saying nothing I ain't already heard" He sang. "Plus all them words get buried when the beats so loud, and the speakers blowin' up to this dance song"

The beat rose he started off strong and fast again. The student were going crazy now, cheering and yelling. They all started dancing and jumping around. "You don't have to try too hard, ou already have my heart, you don't got a thing to prove. I'm already into you—so..!"

"Hold, hold, hold, hold me tight now. Cause I'm so, so good to go. Don't say, don't say good night you know" He sang. The beat dropped a little. "You had me at hello, you-you had me at hello-o, had me at hello."

"Don't say, don't say good night you know. You had me at hello" He let the beat go on, taking the time to look Kim deep in the eyes. They sparkled so strong like diamond even though they were on opposite sides of the gym. She smiled at him, and he sent her a charming smile back.

He almost messed up his timing when he caught himself lost in her eyes, "You don't have to try too hard, you already have my heart. You don't got a thing to prove, I'm already into you—so..!"

The rose hard for the last time, "Hold, hold, hold, hold me tight now, I'm so, so good to go. Don't say, don't say good night you know." He sang "You had me at hello, you-you had me at hello-o, had me at hello."

Then the beat suddenly dropped again, and the gym went quiet. "Don't say Don't say good night you know." He said. "You had me at hello" He smiled, looking straight at Kim. There was a short moment of silence before the gym was engulfed in cheering and clapping. Jack wasn't really sure what he was supposed to do so he went with his gut and nervously took a bow which got the crowd even more riled up.

After that performance, everyone cleared out of the gym except for Milton, Julie, Kim and Jerry. Chloe had already left after saying bye to Jerry. The three of them started clapping when Jack came out from back stage. He was grinning wildly from all the applause. Kim was the first to approach him, wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning on him.

"Kim, that song was for you." Jack said finally. He chuckled, "I guess I should have said that while I was up there but I was a li—"he was cut off when his lips met hers. They held in that embrace for a few seconds, but to them, it felt like eternity. When they broke off, Jack was grinning even more than before if that was possible.

"Thank you." She said. "That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me." She added before pressing her lips against his again. When they finally broke off again, Milton and Jerry came up to them, patting Jack on the back.

"Dude, that was the coolest thing ever!" Jerry exclaimed

Milton laughed at Jerry's comment. "Agreed, that was really cool, Jack."

Jack smiled and blushed at all the attention his friends were giving him. "Thanks guys. And thanks a lot Milton for giving me that idea." Jack said

He got a grin from Milton in response. "Oh, well I'm off to my date with Julie." He said before leading Julie out of the gym.

"I'm gone too, guys." Jerry said before leaving out the same doors.

Jack took Kim's hand in his and slowly led her out of the gym. "Reservation for two at Portochinie's"(N/A: That is totally spelt wrong, but I hope you understand what it is) He said.

Kim grinned and nodded at the idea. She leaned her head on his shoulder before speaking, "So do you think you'll ever sing again?" She asked.

Jack chuckled. "No way, I think I'll stick to karate." He replied, causing her to laugh as well.

"I think you were pretty amazing up there." Kim praised, causing Jack to blush and grin.

"I think you're pretty amazing all the time." He said thoughtfully, making Kim blush a deep red. He laughed at her reaction before placing a quick kiss on her cheek.

There's chapter 4 for you!

Please review; I really love hearing what you guys think.

If you haven't noticed yet I started putting my chapter progress in my profile. So if you've read the latest chapter and you are sitting around bored, waiting for the next one, check the progress and see how im doing on the next one! Just so we are clear, no matter how ahead or behind schedule I might be, there will be a maximum of 1 chapter per day! I try really hard to keep a word cap on my chapters because I always find myself writing to many words per chapter even though I know you guys love long chapters.

Just a heads up on the next chapter; I split it into two parts. Part 1: Partyin' It and Part 2: Burnin' It
So that's why the next two chapters will be slightly shorter than I'd like them to be.

As always please review and I'll see you all next chapter! :)

Percy, out!
