Hey, guys! I don't think this story has a single negative review, so I just want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I kind of have a goal to get this story done before school starts for me, which is September 6th. We'll see how that goes! And this chapter has longer POV's, so watch out for them.

JACK

He was on a mission of great importance, a mission that could not be held off. It was so he could prove to Kim that he would be the ultimate boyfriend for her. That was all that was on his mind as school ended, so he forgot about going to the dojo as he hopped in a cab and went down to the jewelry shop.

"Are you looking for something, sir?" asked a well-dressed salesman 10 minutes later when Jack was browsing through a shelf of expensive looking earrings.

Jack, pleased at the fact that he called him sir, tugged on his button down plaid shirt. "I'm looking for a gift for my girlfriend."

"Ah, young love," the salesman sighed, putting a hand over his heart. Jack noticed his nametag said Tom. "I have just the thing."

Tom showed Jack several items – necklaces, earrings, rings – but every one of them was overpriced and a little too flashy. He had begun to think that maybe buying Kim jewelry was a bad idea when something caught his eye. It was a diamond necklace that had a gem in the shape of a heart on it, and the way it sparkled reminded him of Kim's eyes whenever she laughed.

"What about that one?" He pointed out the necklace that was placed in the glass case under the counter.

"This one?" asked Tom distastefully. "It's not very big, doesn't exactly scream romantic."

Jack ignored him and looked at the price tag. 20 bucks? Not only was it reasonably priced, but it was absolutely perfect for Kim. He didn't think he would find anything else in this jewelry store that came close to this one.

"I'd like to buy it," he said, grinning ear to ear. Tom pursed his lips but nodded as he picked up the necklace and brought it over to the cash register. He scanned it, but the computer made an uncooperative sound. Tom frowned and typed on the computer while Jack began to get nervous.

"Oops!" Tom cried, setting the necklace down. "It looks like someone already reserved that one."

"Are you kidding me?" Jack shouted, causing a few customers to look over at him. "Who?"

Tom examined his nails, now seeming bored with Jack. "Policy states that I can't tell you. Sorry, hon."

Jack regained control of his temper, and murmured a thanks to Tom. He trudged out the door with his head down. So much for showing Kim that he loved her.

KIM

The Wasabi Warriors had been practicing for over half an hour, and Jack was late. He was usually on time, and his disappearance made everyone nervous, especially Kim. God knows what he was doing. While she sparred with Jerry, her mind came up with scenarios of where Jack could be. He could've started out going to the dojo, but some boyfriend-stealer could've distracted him and brought him back to her house... No, she was just paranoid, and she didn't like it.

Her thoughts ended up making her angry, and she accidentally took it out on poor Jerry. When he aimed a kick at her, she grabbed his foot and flipped him on his back.

"Sorry," said Kim quickly, grabbing Jerry's hand to help him up.

"'S okay, Kim," he answered, his cheeks turning a shade of red. This made her feel guilty, since she knew the guys didn't like getting beat to her. She usually went easy on them, saving her strength for when she sparred with Jack.

Just then, her boyfriend walked through the door, making everyone turn.

"Sorry I'm late," he murmured, his eyes glued to the floor. So he was somewhere he shouldn't have been if he couldn't even meet her eye! Stop it, she thought. Quit having those thoughts.

Suddenly Jack lifted his head when he spotted Kim still holding Jerry's hand. She hadn't realized that she was still helping him up, but she quickly let go, not wanting him to get the wrong idea. Kim felt like it was a bad time to ask where Jack had been, because he seemed really disappointed about something.

"That's fine, Jack," Rudy said. "How about you spar with me?"

Kim didn't get a chance to talk to Jack until the end of practice. She met up with him after they were done changing, grabbing his hand and pulling him out quicker than anyone else.

"What's the rush?" asked Jack, eyebrows reaching up to his hairline. Kim kept her mouth shut as she pulled him to a deserted corner of the mall. She turned to him and unexpectedly put her mouth to his. Her fears were diminished as Jack's body melted into hers when he put his arms around her. She deepened the kiss, glad that her boyfriend passed her test. If he had been with another girl, he would have felt too guilty to feel any passion.

"What was that for?" he whispered huskily when they broke apart.

"I just… felt like it, I guess," she smiled her usual bright smile, inside feeling stupid that she ever doubted him.

JACK

The next day at school, Jack stumbled sleepily into school, not even fazed that he almost ran over someone with his skateboard. He was up late last night, doing his homework that he was supposed to have done earlier, but he had been too busy hanging out with Kim. That kiss she gave him distracted him big time, and it made him realize that he didn't care that another guy could like her. Just as long as she like Jack more.

"Hey, Jack," said Kim when he went up to her locker, pecking her cheek. He was just about to say hello back when something shiny caught his eye. It was the necklace he was going to buy yesterday!

And it was on Kim's neck! That made him wide awake.

"What is that?" he said shakily, pointing at the necklace. Kim looked down and then at her locker.

"I found it in my locker this morning, I swear," she said solemnly. "With a note. It said 'From you secret admirer.'"

There. How's that? Tell me what you thought of this chapter in the reviews!
