A/N: Hey! I know it's been forever, but my stories got deleted when I updated my iPad! So I have to rewrite them all! I still have to rewrite Chapter 5 and 6 so they might take a little longer, because I'm trying to make them the same as before. Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter! Also I'm writing another story with the names Daniel, William, Ryan, Olivia, David, and Jack. The characters remind me of how the Kickin' It characters are acting like in this story. So in case the names are on here:

Daniel Moore is Milton Krupnick
William Fords is Eddie Johnson
Ryan Malone is Jerry Martinez
David Santoro is Rudy Gillespie
Olivia Moon is Kim Crawford
Jack Cohen is Jack Brewer

I'm pretty sure that the names aren't in here because I checked the chapter twice but if they are that's who they are. Be sure to remember this because it could possibly happen in future chapters. My apologies if those names are here!

Enjoy Chapter 4 of 'The Project'!

P.S. * will be shown at the end.

Disclaimer: I do not own 'Kickin It'

Chapter 4 - A Fresh Start?

"Give me your money dork!" Milton struggled to get out of the boys grasp "Leave him alone, Brody*" Brody looked up. "What are you doing Jack?" Milton saw Brody was distracted so he kneed him in the stomach. Jack stared in amazement "Thanks, but I can handle myself" Milton started to walk away. "Didn't look like it" Milton stopped to say something. He turned around and opened his mouth, but quickly closed it "It's not worth it" Jack sighed as Milton walked away.

Kim opened her locker, a note fell out. She read it and smiled, especially when she saw who's signature it was. She looked over at the group of boys, Jack smiled at her. Kim wrote down everything he needed to know on a piece of paper. She walked over and stuck the paper on his forehead. Kim made sure it hurt to prevent any humiliation.

Kim opened the small piece of paper and read it.

Jack,
That note was sweet, I appreciate what your doing =)
So here's my number and address, come over Sunday.
Call me when your about to leave so I can make sure
I'm downstairs when you come.

Number#: 579 - 3218
Address: 140 London St. NE Seaford, CA

-Kim Crawford xox

Jack pretended that the note was stupid for the same reason as Kim. He crumpled up the paper and shoved it in his pocket, but on the inside he was smiling.

"So, uh, you wanna go out sometime?" Ryan said to a wall, he was trying to practice asking out his crush. He hadn't asked out a girl in awhile, but he was ready to ask Mika*. "Sounds like your talking to yourself," Ryan spun around "hey" she said. "Oh, hey, Mika... I was just—you know—yeah—so, uh, what's up?" Ryan said trying to sound cool, Kelsey laughed "Your funny" Ryan started to brag about himself. "Well, of course I mean look at me!" Mika smiled "Yes" he gave her a confused look.

"Yes, I'll go out with you" Ryan smiled like a goof ball "Pick me up at eight" she walked away. Ryan did a happy dance "Nice dance" Kim said. "What do you want?" Ryan asked rudely " Wow. You know you don't have to be such a jerk! I came offer you a spot on the dance team again, but obviously your not interested" Kim walked away. "Yeah, well, that's because your still on it!" She stuck something on the wall, she looked at Ryan angrily and walked away.

He walked over to the wall to see what she put up and sighed. He looked around then ripped the paper off the wall and left. He got so upset over a simple paper that read:

DANCE TEAM
TRYOUTS TODAY
AT 3:30 PM
TRY ANY STYLE YOU LIKE
POP, SLOW, JAZZ, TAP, AND MORE.
SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR LEAD DANCER
KIM CRAWFORD

Ryan wanted to get rid of her name. He read the paper over and over trying to see if he should go or not. He had a choice, not go and give up his dream? Or go and deal with the girl who ruined his life?

Listen I've been thinking, none of us really know each other.
And I definitely regret some things that I've said to you guys.
Why don't we meet sometime this week, I've thought of something we can do.
Some of us hate each other, but we're going to have to accept
our differences. It's time we put behind our past and start
focusing on our future, so I'll see you all later.

Day: This Saturday
Time: 6:00 PM
Address: 341 Washington Lane Seaford, CA

-Milton Krupnick

As everyone saw the note Milton left they got ready for Saturday. Kim picked out an outfit and made some
cupcakes for everyone. Jack got everyone little gifts as something that says sorry. Milton got his house ready and made everyone gift baskets. Jerry got everyone gifts too, with some of his homemade cookies. Eddie got everyone a $15 dollar iTunes card. Rudy got everyone a uniform for the dojo, with some doughnuts just for them. Everything was in order for the next day.

Kim took a deep breath and knocked on the door. "Hey" she said as soon as Milton opened the door, he gestured for her to come in. He had a huge house, it was old fashioned and modern "Nice house" she smiled. "Thanks, I actually picked it" Kim looked at him. "Really that's so cool" he smiled. "Yeah," Milton suddenly spotted the basket she was holding "what's in the basket?" Kim smiled.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out" he smirked he made a fake angry face that made Kim laugh. He made his eyes pop out and pursed his lips "You should make jokes more often" he shrugged. "Maybe. You can go sit in the living room I'll be there in a second" she nodded.

"First one here. Nice" Kim went to couch and put the basket by her feet. "Here you go. I had my brother pick these up for me" he handed her a bowl of cheese balls. "Ooh! Fancy! My favorite!" He laughed "Hey, I thought I should stick to the cliche bag of cheese balls" they laughed. "So where are your parents and brother?" Milton looked down "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to make you sad or anything" Milton shook his head.

"No, it's okay. There at work and my brother won't be home until late tonight" Kim nodded, she decided not to ask why he had got sad. She knew how family's could be. Ding, dong. "I'll get it" Kim got up and answered the door "Come on in" she smiled. She noticed that Jerry had a basket too.

"Milton's in the living room" Jerry nodded and started to walk away. "Oh and thanks, for letting me on the Dance team again" she nodded. "Anytime" he smiled and kept walking. Kim began to walk away but halfway there the door bell rang again. It was Jack "Milton and Jerry are in the living room" he nodded and left. Kim started to follow him. Ding, dong. Kim sighed and answered the door "Living room, I'll be right there" she said.

Kim waited for someone to knock at the door again "Alright Kim, no one is coming" she got up and started to walk away. Ding, dong. "What!? You've got to be kidding me!" She walked back and answered the door "Hey come on in" Rudy smiled. Kim finally went back into the living room.

"Alright everyone! I see you've all brought baskets with stuff so let's hand them out one by one. Kim, what did you bring?" Kim grabbed the cupcakes she made. There were twenty mini cupcakes at the bottom of the tower, ten medium ones in the middle, and a giant one on top. "Homemade cupcakes! Enjoy" Jerry nodded goofily. "Swag, yo!" He reached out for a cupcake, he grabbed the big one. Everyone looked at him strangely, he looked up curiously "Was I supposed to share this?" He asked. "No, no. You can have it" he smiled.

"Okay... Jerry what did you bring?" He set down the giant cupcake and brought out his cookies. "Cookies, with gifts for each of you" he handed out everything as he said it "I got Kim a silver necklace that says Kim. I got Jack a leather jacket. I got Eddie a comic book set. I got Milton my Physics textbook... and I got Rudy this cool karate sticker!" Everyone loved their gifts, except Milton, he already had a Physics textbook "Why did you give me your Physics textbook!?" Jerry shrugged "Because I didn't want it! Duh!" Milton rolled his eyes.

"Alright, Jack?" He grabbed the gifts "I got Jerry my old iPod nano with some headphones..." He handed it to him "Thanks man!" Jack smiled "I got Eddie this new comic that just came out..." Eddie smiled "I got Milton the Harry Potter book series..." Milton looked impressed "I got Rudy these karate trophies..." Rudy looked up for the first time and quietly said "Thank you" Jack didn't here him though. "...and I got Kim this weirdly designed purple phone case" Kim got up happily. "Oh, yeah! Boom goes the dynamite! BOOM! I said boom!" Everyone silently stared at her, she blushed "Carrie on..." She said while slowly sitting down.

"Okay... Eddie?" He handed out the cards "You all use iTunes right?" Everyone nodded "Good, because I didn't bring anything else" everyone laughed. "Thanks Eddie. I can use it on my new iPod nano" Eddie nodded happily.
"Your welcome" Milton stood up again.

"Rudy?" He stood up "I got you all the new dojo uniforms" everyone smiled happily. "Awesome, thanks!" Rudy shook his head "No, no. That's not all. I got you all, drum roll please!" Everyone patted their knees "DOUGHNUTS!" Everybody laughed "Thanks Rudy" Kim said.

"Okay, so I found this game and I switched it up a little. One of us will turn a card over, lets say it says 'Favorite band'. Each of us will write down our favorite song with our names on it and then pass our responses to the person who flipped over the card. The person will say each response out loud and everyone else will have to guess who wrote each thing down. Whoever is holding the responses puts their card in, but no one can guess them. Oh and if someone guesses you, your out. Got it?" Everyone nodded.

"Kim you go first" Kim turned over a card it said 'Favorite song', everyone wrote down their answers and gave it to Kim. "The responses are: We Are Young by Fun., Dynamite by Taio Cruz, Skyfall by ADELE, Forget You by Cee Lo Green, The Show Goes On by Lupe Fiasco, and Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye. Jack?" He looked confused "Uh, did Jerry say Skyfall?" Jerry made a sad/angry face* "Dang it..." Kim laughed. "Milton?" He pretended he had a beard.

"Did Jack say, We Are young?" He shook his head, Milton frowned "Eddie?" He stood up slowly then pointed at Jack "You said The Show Goes On!" Jack nodded and slowly pushed Eddies hand away "Rudy?" He squinted his eyes "Eddie said Dynamite. Am I right or am I right?" Eddie shook his head "You're wrong" Rudy sat up straight and pointed at him. "Your face is wrong!" Eddie made a confused expression "What does that even mean!?" Rudy just stared angrily.

"Moving on...Milton?" He turned his head from Eddie and Rudy "Did you say Forget You?" Milton asked Rudy goofily "Whatever!" Rudy said "Okay.. Eddie?" Eddie had no idea "Dynamite?" He guessed "Ha! No! You said We Are Young and Kim said Dynamite!" Eddie sighed "Oh, yeah! Winnaaa!" He said happily "I can't believe your favorite song is Dynamite Kim!" Kim shrugged. "Hey, I like things that go BOOM! And you said Somebody That I Used to Know!" Milton made a straight face then out of no where he started singing it in a funny voice.

"Now your just somebody that I used to know. Somebody! That I used to know..." Everyone laughed. They played that game forever, until their parents somehow came into the conversation. "I just wish money could be easier on them" Eddie said. "At least your parents get get along, mine are always fighting" Jerry said. "At least your parents don't call you a nerd or dork everyday because your not an athlete" Milton said.

Rudy groaned "My parents kicked me out of the house when I was only fourteen!" Kim sighed "My dads in prison, my moms single, money's tough. She's trying to manage, but I don't think she's doing to well. Without dad around she doesn't know what to do. He writes to me sometimes, but I don't have the strength to write back" she had tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry" Jerry put an arm around her, she managed to put on a smile. "What about you Jack? Any crazy parents?" Jack looked down sadly "I wish I had your guys parents" Kim looked surprised.

"Why? What happened?" Jack sucked in his lips "When I was seven, they were coming to pick me up from my grandmas at like ten o' clock. On the way some drunk guy hit them and the car flipped..." He trailed off, but everyone knew where he was headed. No one knew what to say, everyone was silent "Jack, why haven't you ever told anyone?" Kim asked "You can't trust people with secrets like that" Kim looked at him. "Than why are you telling us?" He smiled "Because after tonight, I can tell you guys anything" everyone smiled.

"No more secrets?" Kim asked "No more secrets" Eddie said. "A fresh start with just the six of us, can we do it?" Kim bit her lip "I don't think I can do it publicly yet" Jack nodded. "Me neither, I'm still freaked out to show the real me" Jerry nodded. "Okay, but you guys can't hide forever" Kim nodded. "We know" Milton got up. "Alright it's my parents are going to get here soon and I don't think they'll be happy to find you guys here" everyone nodded.

"There's gift bags at the door with your names on them" everyone left, except Kim. She stayed behind to help clean up "Thanks Kim, but my parents are going to be here any minute!" Kim grabbed everything with her gift bag and ran to the door. As soon as she opened the door, a women who looked like Milton stood there "Oh! Hi, uh, Mrs. Krupnick I presume?" She said while half smiling. Mrs. Krupnick fake laughed with a smile "You betcha ya!" She laughed more, Kim could tell she wasn't happy.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter!

1* - It's not the Brody from Wrath of Swan, I just needed a cool name

2* - It is the Mika from the show

3* - He makes the face a lot like when Kim punched him in the cafeteria for not wanting to be on the pep squad anymore (My Left Foot)

Again my apologies for any names that weren't Kickin' It characters!

Oh and when Jack goes to Kim's house on Sunday, it'll be its owchap tater. (not chapter 5)

I'll update as soon as I can! Bye!
