Last time on 'Not a punishment but an oppertunity'
Then something caught the boy's eyes. "GIRLS!" They all yelled. "NOT NOW!" They yelled back. No sooner than they had said that the outlook they were standing on collapsed on Kim and Meghan. The outlook dropped down a couple of feet; the boys ran over to the edge and looked down at their friends.
"Okay, that's not good." Milton said.
"No really?" Meghan yelled up at them.
"Okay, Meghan, Kim are you OK!?" Rudy yelled down at them.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm… I'm just scared of heights…" Kim yelled up at them. Kim got lucky was sitting on the outlook, while Meghan didn't get as lucky was dangling from the edge over a who knows how many hundred feet drop.
"Yeah, I'm fine too guys, I'm just dangling over my certain death right now!" Meghan yelled back up at them.
"Oh good, you're both fine then." Rudy said, clutching his heart in a dramatic fashion.
~Screen break~
"Oh good, you're both fine then."
"AHHHH!"
"Meghan!"
"AHHHH!"
"Meghan!"
~Kickin' It theme song!~
"Guys, I'm not sure how long I can hold on for!" Meghan yelled adjusting her grip on the outlook.
"Kim! You have to help Meghan back up!" Jack yelled down to Kim. Kim looked up at him, horrified.
"Jack... What part of 'I'm scared of heights' did you not get?!" Kim asked him. "Kim, If you don't help Meghan... NOW- she's gonna fall! There's nothing to be scared of! Come on, you went head to head with me in sparring- If you're not scared of that or taking down the black dragon's you'll be fine with this!" Jack said.
"Nice Speech Jack, I'm good! I'll just 'Hang out' here!" Meghan yelled. Kim sighed and inched her way towards where Meghan was hanging.
"Alright, here, Grab my hand." Kim said. Meghan just looked at her. "Don't worry, I won't let you drop." Kim said reaching her hand out. Meghan looked up at where the boys and Rudy where. She took a deep breath and grabbed Kim's hand. Kim pulled on her hand while Meghan hoisted herself up onto the outlook. "Thanks" Meghan said.
"Okay, somethings wrong with Meghan she said thanks!" Kim joked. "I'm sorry!" Kim said. "I'm sorry too!"
"Yeah... something's wrong with Meghan." Milton said. Meghan and Kim hugged. When they broke apart they looked at their surroundings.
"Now, how do we get back up there?" Meghan asked. Kim made a face and looked around again. "I have no idea. Boys? A little help! PLEASE!" Kim and Meghan yelled up at them.
"We're on it girl's give us two second's!" Rudy yelled down at them.
"So, are you really mad that I like Jack?" Meghan asked Kim.
"No... Not really. I mean Meghan, It's the first time I've ever heard you be a girl. You know, no matter what you say you are, you're still a teenage girl with feelings." Kim told her.
Meghan nodded.
"I guess your right. It's just that my life kind of sucks right now and BOYS!" Meghan yelled up at them.
The boys dropped down two ropes as the outlook began to crumble. Both girls exchanged looks and grabbed the ropes, climbing up the side. Jack helped Meghan up and Jerry helped Kim so the girl's where safe again back on the mountain.
They all exchanged hugs when they heard the outlook fall. They peered over the edge, watching it fall.
Both Meghan and Kim looked at each other and busted out laughing. "Sucker!" They yelled down at it. At this, the boys started laughing.
But unfortunately...
There is one more matter of business to take care of.
"Meghan," Rudy, Milton and Eddie stepped back while Jerry and Jack stepped towards Meghan. "We both like you... a lot, okay?" Meghan looked at them with wide eyes.
Meghan nodded, urging them to continue. "But, really, it's up to you to pick. And, we just want you to be happy. So, don't feel like you have to pick one of us because the other one might beat the snot out of the other one." Jerry said.
Meghan took a deep breath and looked at both boys.
Two boys that just want her to be happy?
Oh Jeez.
She looked at Kim and she gave Meghan a look saying 'Do what your heart is telling you to do. And don't make fun of what I just said.' Meghan looked back at both boys who where waiting for her answer.
She took a deep breath and walked towards Jerry.
~Screen break~
"Jerry..." Jerry gave her a look, urging her to continue.
"I'm sorry, but my heart's pointing towards Jack. And If you tell anyone those words came out of my mouth, there will be a zipper where your mouth should be." She warned him, pointing a finger at him.
He laughed.
"Hey, as long as your happy." He was a bit heartbroken but his grandmother always would tell him 'if you love someone, set them free, and if it comes back it was meant to be.' He wanted Meghan to be happy, and he was almost positive Jack would make her nothing less. Plus, everything happen's for a reason. Jerry smiled at Jack who was giving him an 'I'm sorry' look, and Jerry's smile simply said, 'treat her good, it's alright.'
Jerry walked over to Rudy, Milton, Eddie and Kim had just joined them.
Meghan turned to face Jack.
"Okay, what is least corny way to say this...?" She said looking at her feet. Jack smiled and took a step closer to her. She looked up at him.
"I like you." Jack whispered before planting another soft kiss on her lips, ignoring the guys' 'Ewww's' and 'Awe's'.
When they pulled away after a couple second's they where both smiling like idiots.
"Alright, let's head back to the boat, shall we? Because I think we leave the dock in..." Rudy said looking at his watch but the boat's horn went off signaling 2 minutes untill departure.
The gang looked at each other, then sprinted down the trail, making sure they didn't miss the boat... again.
~Kickin' It with you!~
Back on the boat- Meghan and Kim's room.
"Kim, are you sure you're not mad?" Meghan asked again unpacking her suitcase into some drawers.
"MEGHAN! Jeez girl! I'm fine! There is something seriously wrong with you today." Kim said.
Meghan sighed. "Sorry, it's just that my parent's rarely talk to me and It seems like they never care when they do. And they've been extra crabby lately." She said.
"No offence but maybe that's the result of your 'bad girl' persona?" Kim stated, almost like a question, pulling out a stack of shorts from her suitcase.
"No. They did that to me even before that." Meghan said shoving her now empty suitcase under her full-sized bed.
"Speaking of, I didn't think you used to be anything beside's 'Kick butt Meghan'" Kim said shoving her suitcase under her bed.
"Yeah, well that's because I didn't want anybody to know. It's embarrassing." Meghan said sitting down on her bed.
"Okay, I can tell you're not one who necessarily likes to 'talk about her feelings' but If you're not gonna tell me, at least, Tell Jack." "Yeah Kim, Why don't I just strap on a parashoot and bungee jump off the side of the ship?" Meghan said sarcastically.
"Meghan, Make fun all you want. But he deserves to know. And he's Jack, He's not gonna judge you or laugh at you," Kim laughed. "You have the best boyfriend in the world." She said.
"Kim are-" Kim cut her off.
"Girl, if you ask me if I'm mad at you one more time I swear, I will make you put on a big pink poofy dress and walk around the ship in it. And I can be really scary when I want to be." Kim said.
"Now stop moping around in here about your parent's. Go have some fun! Go hang out with Jack! Go do something! Go live your life!" Kim said over-dramatically. Meghan laughed at her crazy blonde friend.
"Fine, I'll go see what I can find... aren't you coming?" Meghan asked getting up and walking to the door.
"No, I'm taking a surfing lesson later. Picking out the right bathing suit takes time honey[/darlin']." Meghan made a face and walked out of the room.
~Kickin' It with you!~
"Yo, I'm still in a rut... And we're in Hawaii." Jerry said slumping down in his chair.
Jerry, Milton, Eddie and Jack where hanging out on the 'Sky Deck'.
"Well Jerry, What about uh..." Milton said rubbing sunscreen on his arm, then stopping when he couldn't figure out anything.
"Gee thanks Milton, That really helps." Jerry groaned slumping down deeper in his chair.
"Careful Romeo, if you slump down even further in that chair you're gonna fall through it." Meghan joked as she walked up to the boys., making sure she watched her step, there was a 'Still Wet' sign on the deck, and they weren't too far from the edge of the boat. "Hey Meghan." The boys, except Jack, said in a board tone.
Meghan sat down on the chair Jack was sitting on, right by his feet. "What's your problem. You know, besides all the usual stuff?" Meghan asked Jerry, who gave her a look. "I'm in a rut." Jerry said. Meghan made a face and looked at Jack who gave her a 'don't ask you'll be sorry' look.
But since when does Meghan listen to Jack?
"What?" She asked him.
"I'm in a rut, Meghan. My life is the same old day, over and over again." Jerry said putting his head in his hand.
"Well, you certainly don't want my life." Meghan said. "Be thankful for what you have, Jerry. Trust me. Because when it's gone- you'll notice it's not there."
The four boys freezed in their positions, mouths agape.
Who knew Meghan Munro could be so deep.
Something had to be going on.
"Meghan, is there something you want to tell us?" Eddie asked her, leaning forward in his chair, raising an eyebrow.
She shook her head.
"No." She said through gritted teeth.
"You sure?" Jack asked her, sitting up straight in his chair.
"I'm sure." She said nodding. "Ok..." The boys said giving their brunette friend a weird look.
"Hey Meghan, can you rub this sunscreen on my back?" The three boys gave their nerdy friend looks and cutting throat motion's as Meghan made a face. "Sure." She said before walking behind him, but instead of rubbing sunscreen on his back, "Meghan, Meghan-" Meghan ignored Jack who was standing up and standing next to her, giving Milton's back a hard shove, sending him flying off the chair, onto the newly washed deck, sending the nerd sliding across it and right over the side of the boat, screaming, "MEGHAN!"
Meghan stood there, with a proud smirk on her face and her hands on her hips.
"Oh Meghan." Jack said shaking his head.
Meghan crossed her arms, proud of her work.
"Man overboard!" Eddie yelled.
"Well... at least Milton overboard." Jerry joked.
"JERRY! I. CAN. HEAR. YOU!"
"O-O-O, You're in trouble." Meghan joked as Jack shook his head.
~Screen flip~
"Dude, control your girlfriend!" Milton said, irritated as a crew member wrapped a towel around Milton. Milton thanked her and she nodded, walking off.
"It's not an easy task, Milton." Jack said putting an arm around Meghan's shoulders. Meghan jumped at the sudden contact but relaxed soon after.
"Yeah It's like trying to control a wild puma or something." Jerry joked. Meghan gave him a death glare and he wiped the smile off his face.
"A Puma?" Eddie questioned "Well, yeah she strikes me more as a puma then a tiger or a wildcat or something." Jerry said making a box with his hands and looking through it like a camera or something. Meghan gave him a look.
"You're a weird species Jerry." She said. He smiled. "Thank you." He said proudly, crossing his arms at said compliment/insult. Meghan and Jack exchanged looks.
"Guys!" Rudy said running over in an insane outfit, carrying a more insane outfit.
Jerry and Eddie left for a burger while Milton sat down on a deck chair, as Jack handed Meghan a shuffleboard stick. She gave him a look and he gave her one back. She sighed in defeat and motioned for Jack to go first.
"Rudy- Don't take this the wrong way, but did a volcano erupt on your or something?" Milton asked as Rudy came into Milton's eye sight.
"Oh look, I took that the wrong way." Rudy said as he gave his nerdy student/friend a look. Milton sighed guiltily and wrapped the towel tighter around himself.
"WHOA, Yikes Rudy. What are you wearing?" Meghan asked turning around, finally catching a glance of her Sensei/Friend.
"I met this girl on the fiesta deck (Suite life on deck ;) I know nothing about cruises so yeah! :)) and she's really into surfer's. So which one do you think makes me look more hot like a surfer?" He asked holding up the other two outfits up to him.
"Do you have one that cover's your face?" Meghan asked him, examining the outfits. "No... why?"
"Oh. Then none of those." Meghan joked. Rudy made a face at her "HA. HA. HA. Jack- control your girlfriend." Rudy said. Jack stood up straight leaning on the shuffleboard stick. "Again with 'Mission: Impossible'!" He said. Meghan smirked and turned back to the game that she was paying no attention too. After a few failed tries Jack stood behind Meghan, showing her how to hold the stick and shoot it right.
Jack had both his hand's on top of her's with his arms wrapped around her so he could help her hold the stick. Now, Meghan being Meghan wanted to make a comment on how cheesy this was, but couldn't. She liked it too much. She's never had a boyfriend before so she found it sweet that Jack wanted to show her how to play.
"Yeah, anyway," Rudy said eyeing the couple and turning back to Milton. "Which one? And be honest." Rudy said. Milton sucked in some air. "Rudy, honestly I think silence is my best option. If a girl really likes you, she'll like you for you. So be yourself." Milton said.
"Milton, I've been myself my whole life, and look where that's gotten me in the dating world." Rudy said. Meghan looked over at him then looked at Jack. "He's not wrong." Meghan said, Jack gave her a come on look and motioned back to the board.
Jerry and Milton walked back over to them eating hamburgers. "Man, these burger's are like puck's, yo."
"Alright you try it on your own now." Jack said. Meghan took the stick in a stronger grip and got into the position Jack had just showed her.
"Rudy, there is some girl out there that's gonna like you for you. You just haven't found her yet. She's out there somewhere."
"Yeah thousands miles away in a cave, underground, making corn juice (iCarly :P 'idate Sam and Freddie')" Meghan muttered under her breath.
Rudy gave her a look, having heard what she said. "You're right Milton. And when I find her I'll make sure I don't introduce her to you guys. Espically Meghan." Meghan smiled and waved at Rudy who shook his head at his newest student's... well everything.
Jerry and Eddie started arguing with Rudy about meeting his 'Lady Friend' when Meghan shot the puck, putting too much force behind it, sending it flying into Jerry's mouth, shutting up the conversation.
"Hey, now it really is a puck." Meghan laughed.
"You know what's sad? These are better than the one's at school." Jerry said. Meghan made an 'EW' face and attempted to shoot another puck. Now, Milton made the mistake of walking right behind the board, right... as Meghan shot another puck. Hitting Milton in the gut, the puck and Milton fell overboard... again.
"NERD OVERBORD! AGAIN! NERD OVERBOARD!" Milton said splashing around in the ocean below. Meghan laughed and blew at the top of the stick.
"Okay, So Meghan doesn't have the best aim... noted." Jack said looking up at the sky.
"Bring back the net!" Rudy, Jerry and Eddie yelled.
Jack shook his head, laughing as he put an arm around Meghan's shoulders.
What had he gotten himself into?
Okay, long chapter for you guys! :)
Yes, I put Meghan and Jack together... Please don't kill me! (hides behind the wasabi warriors)
You guys have to understand, I want to please all my reader's but unfortunately, I can't always do that. Jack and Meghan had, 1. more votes and 2. they had better chemistry and more history than Meghan and Jerry did. Plus, most people only voted for JerryxMeghan so Jack and Kim could be together. I told you guys in the last chapter that I might not put Jack&Kim together even if Meghan ends up with Jerry.
At first I was gonna put Meghan with Jerry. But then I realized that if I did that, It's almost like Jerry's a 3rd wheel and getting all the girls that Jack doesn't. It's like he's 2nd best, and that's not fair to him.
I know probably all you 'KICK' people hate my guts right now, but you have to understand, This is what I wanted to do with this story. I asked my friend for advice and he said 'It's your story, have fun with it.'. I felt like it would be a little more boring and typical if I paired MeghanxJerry and JackxKim. The results ended up looking like this: 31-JackxMeghan 15-JerryxMeghan. I read and took every one of your reviews into consideration, I really did guys, no matter how much you think I didn't, I did. But at the end of the day, something in my gut was telling me to do MeghanxJack. I apologize if you guys hate me or this story right now, but I've never written anything that's JackxOC before and I wanna see what I can do with that kind of pairing.
Plus, basically the whole Kickin' It Archive is JackxKim stories... I agree with numerous reviewers saying it would be nice to read something other than JackxKim stories all the time. No offence to anyone, because I totally love some of your Kick stories, I've reviewed several of them, I just want something different too, along with all the 'Kick' ones, you know?
Again, I apologize if you aren't happy with my decision, but please no flames in reviews. Thanks!
For those of you that are happy with my decision, review! :) Let me know how I did with the JackxMeghan fluff. :) Personally, I loved it and found it SOOO much fun to write! :) I can't wait to update and I can't wait to hear what you guys think!
I will update a new chapter when I get 5 new reviews! :)
