I love you guys! You make me so happy and feel loved! Haha.

So, I'm updating again. I start school tomorrow, though so wont be updating as often. I have to make sure to keep my grades up, and that means that I have to spend a lot of time on homework. Gah! Teachers do realize that we have homework from other teachers too, right? Ah well, enough ranting, on with it!

DISCLAIMER: Do I really have to admit it anymore? Fine, I don't own Kickin' It.

The argument with Jack wore me out more than it should've and I passed out as soon as my head hit my pillow again.

Some people are woken up by their mom's, dogs, or even cats or friends. Me? I woke up to Jerry shoving his rat in my face. Don't tell him it's a rat though, he thinks it's a bald Brazilian dog or something.

Jerry dropped Pedro on my face and I screamed, a totally understandable reaction.

"Ah, Kim, you're awake!" Jerry smiled at the edge of my bed when I sat up.

I gave him an evil smile, "Yes, and if you want to stay awake, I will give you two seconds of a head start." I warned.

Jerry smiled widely before he saw I wasn't laughing and he frowned and darted.

I dashed after him, but unfortunately I always get bad head rushes and my vision went black as I became lightheaded, I kept running, though.

That was definitely a mistake. I ran into a wall. Yeah, this time it wasn't Jack, it was an actual, solid wall.

I backed up and held my hand to my head, "Oww!" I exclaimed.

I heard clapping behind me and I turned to see Jack clapping his hands with an amused look in his eye, "Real impressive, Kim."

I narrowed my eyes, "I didn't fall out of my bed, Jack!" I sneered his name.

Jack raised an eyebrow, "Oh! I know! But I wasn't the one who ran into a wall, either."

He walked past me and into the kitchen where Rudy was making his famous cinnamon pancakes. I stood there for a second before following him in. My three friends and Rudy were already devouring their breakfast and Jack was putting a couple pancakes on his plate, also grabbing some bacon and the pre-poured milk in a plastic cup. We learned not to keep glass cups around after Jerry broke five on his first day here.

I followed his lead and grabbed the last of the food, at least he left some for me. I sat down at the table with all of them and started digging in as well. I happened to be sitting across Jack, and it wasn't that he wouldn't look at me or anyone else, it's just that his demeanor changed from teasing to blank and devoid of emotion in a few short minutes. The guys started complaining about going back to school. The last week had been spring break and of course none of us were looking forward to going back to school. I can't imagine how Jack was feeling.

Today we were going to introduce Jack to Falafels, Phil, and Phil's goat.

This should be interesting.

"The thing you need to know about Phil is that he's very sensitive, and he has a weird accent." Rudy was informing Jack before we all left. Jack still looked unemotional, but at least he was making eye contact.

"Oh! And he doesn't sell real food!" Eddie informed him.

Jack looked taken aback, "And it's a restraint?" he asked.

We all looked at each other, then him, "Yes," We answered together.

Jack shrugged, "Okay, then."

We left the dojo home, making sure that Rudy had pocketed his keys after locking up, last time he locked us out, we tried getting in through the vents and Eddie got stuck.

We walked across the busy sidewalk and into the air conditioned building of Falafel Phil's. The business was never great, but Phil made enough money to keep it running.

The bell overhead rang a loud, obnoxious sound as we walked in. Phil was behind the counter taking an order. His sister was in the back making falafel balls like always and there was only a handful of other people working here. They were people that had no real options and had never tasted the food.

Rudy sent us to find a table while he ordered at the front. I lead the arguing guys and Jack to our regular table and sat down in the usual order. I sat down next to Jerry, and Eddie sat across from me with Milton next to him. Together, they took up that whole side, I don't know how, I guess they like their space, so usually Rudy sat by me. Unfortunately, things have been changing lately, so instead Jack scooted next to me. I leaned away from him as much as I could, things didn't need to be more uncomfortable between us than it already was.

Rudy came back to our table and froze, "Okay, this isn't going to work, ah, but this will." He started sitting on Jack's lap which was a total Rudy thing to do.

Jack pushed him back, "Duude! What are you doing? Not cool!"

Rudy held his hands up in defeat and without looking, he grabbed a chair from the table next to us. Therefore, he didn't realize the old woman sitting on it.

She was thrown off with a loud yell. Rudy snapped around to look at her using her cane to get off the floor, she waved her cane at him, yelling something that I couldn't understand as she had no teeth. Rudy rolled his eyes, "Yeah! Yeah! Woman! We don't always get what we want! Deal with it!"

The lady gasped and hit him with her cane.

Rudy cringed, "Ow! That's it, lady, you're going down!" Rudy started to lunge over the chair for her, but the guys and I, even Jack, stood up and held him back.

The woman looked at him like he was crazy and swiftly walked out, "That's right! Run away, grandma!"

We forced him to sit in his chair and made sure he wasn't going to chase after the woman before retaking our seats and talking to him.

"What was that about Rudy?" Milton asked.

Rudy didn't even look guilty, "Grandma started it!" he defended himself.

I snapped, "Hey! No woman likes to be made fun of for age Rudy! Shame on you!"

Rudy looked at us, "But she is my grandma! Our family, we don't get along, we're like cats, ready to pounce whenever somebody turns around."

The guys and I looked at each other, then decided that it wasn't worth talking about. Just then Phil walked up and pulled Jack into a bone crushing hug.

Well, it would've cracked any of our bones, but Jack twisted away before Phil could get a good grip on him and sat back down. At least he had the decency to not use Karate on him.

Phil still smiled, though, "You no hugger, yes?" He asked in his strange accent. I think he's from a weird town in Minnesota or something like that.

Jack nodded, "I guess you could say that."

Phil smiled widely, "I'm Phil, you're Jack, yes?"

Jack nodded slowly, I guess still trying to get used to the strange accent. It took me 3 months to not freak out at Phil's unibrow when I was younger.

Rudy interrupted the greeting, "Where's our food, Phil?"

Phil looked at Rudy, tearing his gaze of interest away from Jack, "Oh! Yes! The regular! It should be here soon!" With one last smile at Jack, Phil turned and walked away.

We all looked at around and shrugged, that was just usual Phil actions.

Before we could get a conversation going, Ty and the Black Dragons walked in. This just got interesting.

Oooh! I'm leaving you with a cliffie! But I have to stop writing for tonight. Haha. Sorry that it's kind of short.

If you've seen Leo Howard's new hair style, tell me if you like it or not. I'm not really sure what to think of it, but I want to know your opinion in a review. Hint hint.

So, yeah! REVIEW!
