Thanks to everyone!
If you didn't see, I deleted my story 'I Can't Live Without You'.
I'm so sorry, I just couldn't write for that anymore. I kept on feeling bad that I haven't updated and it started to feel like a job for me to update that story. I thought to myself that I write these stories for fun and if starts to feel like a job, it just isn't fun anymore.
Sorry for everyone who liked that story!
I do want to thank everyone who stayed loyal to that story and I am truly sorry.
Anyways, I want to greet you guys with Chapter 2 of All Around the World!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kickin' It.
They wanted to know where they were going, but no luck because the windows, of the Hummer Limo they were in, were tinted so dark that neither Jack nor Kim could see out. The two teens have been wondering where they were going.
Kim was sitting in the limo, facing the window, wishing that she were able to see out of it. She turned her head slightly to left, to what Jack was doing, only to find him sleeping.
How could he sleep at a time like this? Kim mentally asked herself.
She reconsidered that thought because they have been in the car for a while now. She had no way of telling what time it was and how long they have been driving for.
Kim didn't want to admit it, but she was scared. Yes, the almighty Kimberly Crawford was scared.
Kim turned her body a little to left, enough to reach over and grab her backpack. Thankfully, she had at least something to keep her occupied. She quickly un-zipped it and rummaged through it, hoping to find something.
After about a minute of rummaging through it, she gave up and ultimately failed and trying to find something. All she had in her backpack were some notebooks, her science and history book, and her pencil bag. She grabbed the backpack, threw it to the other side of the limo and watched as a couple of papers flew out.
Kim sat back and groaned in frustration. Not second later, she realized that there was another groan. She looked over to see her best friend, Jack, slowly coming awake.
She wasn't going to say anything to him, just in case he would fall right back to sleep. Kim sat there and watched as groaned a few more times and rubbed his eyes. Jack's eyes popped opened and examined his surroundings.
Jack looked around a couple more times, until he finally spotted Kim next to him.
"Glad to see you're awake." Kim sarcastically remarked.
Jack eyebrows furrowed in confusion, wondering what has just gotten into Kim. He sat there and examined her, seeing that she was nervous and frustrated. He looked at his surroundings, realizing that they were in a car.
"Can you speak or are you still sleeping or something?" Kim asked.
Jack turned back towards Kim and asked a question that has been roaming his head for the past minute or two.
"Why are we in a car?" He asked.
Kim let a little laugh out, "Correction; you mean limo. Don't you remember what happened in English when that Kyle guy came and took us?"
Soon the whole fiasco rushed back through his mind. He remembered it so fast that he was starting to get a headache.
"Yeah, just needed a little refresher." He said.
Kim pursed her lips and nodded. She sat back in her seat and sighed, with Jack still looking at her.
"How long have we been in here?" Jack asked.
Kim shrugged with her response, not even bothering to turn to look at Jack. "I have no clue, but we must have been in here for a while if you fell asleep."
"Okay." Jack mumbled to himself.
They both fell into a comfortable silence. Neither one of them making a sound, just listening to the limo make noise and, from what they could hear, birds chirping. At least that what they thought it was. Kim kept on thinking that if it was birds chirping, it's probably early in the morning. But they weren't in the limo that long, were they?
They resumed they silence, until Kim broke it.
"Jack, what do you think this is about?"
Jack turned towards her with a reassuring response, "I don't know, but we should be safe. I mean Principle Squires wouldn't let us go without is being safe."
"I guess you're right." Kim sighed.
"Of course I'm right, I'm always right." Jack chuckled.
Kim hit him slightly on the arm, which caused Jack to reply to her with an "Ow."
Kim smiled and said "You were right on this, but you are not always right. If anyone is always right, it's me."
"Whatever." Jack replied.
They both turned away from each other, smiling. Kim was just happy that Jack was with her, so if she had to end up fighting anyone, she would have the karate master, Jack Anderson, with her.
Soon Kim's heart started to beat fast as she felt the limo slow down to a stop. Not a stop like waiting for a stoplight, but a stop as in the engine turned off. She immediately turned towards Jack, who was looking at her too. They were both waiting for someone to come around and open up the door to let them out. But nothing happened.
A sound came to their ears. They sound of a window opening. Jack and Kim both turned to see both of their windows were shut. They looked forward to see the window opening, which separated them from Kyle, the driver.
Once it was fully opened, you could see Kyle's face.
"You two want some water and a sandwich? We should be driving for couple more hours." He said.
Kim thought it was weird that he was acting so nicely. He kidnapped them, right? Not really because they both got in the car voluntarily.
Kim looked over at Jack, who shrugged and asked "Sure, what kind of sandwich?"
"Uhm, turkey on rye." Kyle said.
Jack nodded as Kyle through a water bottle and sandwich towards him. Kim looked at him like he was insane.
Who takes a sandwich from some random guy? Jack, that's who. Kim thought to herself. She looked back at Kyle, who was staring at her waiting for a response.
"Uh, I'll take a water bottle, no sandwich. I'm a vegetarian." Kim gave a slight smiled.
Kyle nodded and tossed back a water bottle. Kim caught it immediately. She took the lid off and gulped almost half of it down.
"Thirsty, aren't you?" Kyle said. Kim immediately stopped drinking when she heard his voice. An Australian accent? Since when did he have an accent?
Kyle smiled at the look on her face. "I let my accent slip, didn't I?" He asked. "Yes, I am Australian. Anyways, you guys are probably getting tired so you can stretch across the two seats right there. I'll wake you up once we're there."
He pointed to the seats that were across from each other.
Jack nodded and asked, "Okay, so where are we going?"
"Well, that's from me to know and for you to find out. Night." He said starting to close the window.
"Wait!" Kim said, causing Kyle to stop rolling it up and roll it back down. "I thought I heard birds chirping earlier?"
"You did. It's about 4 o'clock in the morning."
"What!" Kim screamed. She looked over at Jack who was choking on his water. She leaned over and patted him on the back.
"How long have we been in here?" Kim asked.
"About 14 hours. No biggie." Kyle said.
He then rolled the window back up. Jack and Kim sat there shocked out of their minds. They have been in there for fourteen hours?
Jack started to take the plastic that was wrapped around his sandwich, off. He was about to take a bite, when Kim stopped him.
"What gives, Kim?" Jack asked.
"You are seriously going to eat a sandwich from some guy we don't even know? What if it was poisoned? You could die! Jeez, are you always this stupid? Don't eat that sandwich." Kim ranted on.
It all came clear to Jack. That's why she said she was a vegetarian. Jack thought.
"Kim, if wanted us killed or something, he wouldn't be acting this nice to us. I think I will be fine eating this sandwich" Jack told her.
She threw her arms up in the air. "Fine, don't listen to me."
Jack smirked and took a bite of the sandwich. Kim looked at him in disgust.
Milton, Jerry, and Eddie were sitting on the plane. Milton was doing a crossword puzzle, Jerry was listening to music from his iPod and Eddie was turned around, asking the people behind them for their peanuts and crackers.
The three teens have about another hour or so left in the plane. Milton was trying to focus on the crossword puzzle, but just couldn't. He was getting worried. If this was some game, they won't make it easy on us. Will we always have to travel to find clues? Where have they taken Jack and Kim? Are they okay? Milton thought.
Milton slight looked over to make sure the guys were okay, but something caught his eye. Not something, a someone. It was the same red-headed girl that gave them their tickets. It was Elizabeth.
"Hey guys, is that who I think it is?" Milton asked the guys, pointing towards Elizabeth.
Eddie looked over to where Milton was pointing. While, Jerry didn't hear what Milton said, so he pulled out his headphones and asked "What did you say, Milton?"
Milton groaned at the fact Jerry never paid attention. "I said, is that who I think it is? The lady who gave us our tickets?"
Before any of the three Wasabi Warriors could say anything else, Elizabeth walked up to them.
"Hey, guys. It's time for your next clue. Come with me." She said waving them to follow her. She was already gone, so neither of them got to ask questions at the moment. The only way they could is if they went and followed her. They sure didn't want to go where she was going because it just didn't feel right, but if it meant getting Jack and Kim back, they had to go.
Reluctantly they went. They found her standing in front of the door that got them inside the plane. If they opened it up, they would be dragged out and fall down the through the sky.
"Are you guys ready, because this challenge is pretty extreme." She nervously said.
Milton thought that this would be the best time to interrogate her.
"Who do you work for?" He snapped. Jerry and Eddie were taken back by his tone. Milton never snaps at anyone. It was Kim who was the one to snap. But when Milton did snap, it reminded them of Kim. They needed to find them quick.
"I can't tell you, but are you guys ready for your first challenge?"
"Why can't you tell us?" Jerry joined into the conversation.
"I just can't. I signed a contract. Now we have to hurry or else you're going to miss this challenge. And that won't be a good thing."
Milton stared at her for a couple of seconds until he finally gave up. He could probably find a loop hole if he read the contract, but there isn't time. Like she said if they missed this challenge; it wouldn't be a good thing.
"What's the challenge?" Milton asked.
Elizabeth laughed nervously, "Well if you complete this challenge, you get the next clue and you would be getting closer to your friends. I mean, isn't that what you want anyways? You wouldn't care about any challenge. You would do anything to get closer to your friends. Am I right?"
The three guys stood there, suspiciously. But they were also scared. If Elizabeth was scared to tell them this challenge, then it must be a big one, right?
"So, what's the challenge?" Eddie asked, taking a step towards her.
"Uhm, first I have to give you your backpacks. These have everything you need. Hope you don't mind, but we went through your bags and grabbed some clothes that were in there and put them in the backpacks. Anyways, it has some shampoo and conditioner for when you are at your hotel. Just some blankets and pillows, you know just in case. Oh, and a parachute." She mumbles the last word so they couldn't here.
"I'm sorry; I didn't hear what you said last. Could you repeat it?" Milton asked, oh-so-nicely.
Elizabeth took a deep breath. She was scared of how they would react to this, but it was now or never. They were flying over the spot as they spoke.
"A parachute, okay? You guys have to jump out of the plane to get your net clue." She said, rather quickly.
She stood there, waiting for their reactions.
Jack and Kim were stretched across the seats, sleeping. Just like Kyle told them too. Kyle pulled into the parking lot, came into the back seat and woke the two teens. At first, neither of them woke-up. But they soon did.
"Are we here?" Jack asked, remembering that Kyle was going to wake them up once they go to their destination.
"Yup, now I need you guys to put these on." Kyle said handing them two blindfolds. They both sat up and eyed him, confused as ever. Why does he want us to put blindfolds on? Kim asked herself.
"Uh, why?" Kim asked.
"Because, if for some reason either of you two get a hold of a computer, cell phone or anything to contact someone, they can't know where you are." He answered casually.
Both, Jack and Kim, wondered how he could act so casually about this. He was taking two teens somewhere; somewhere so far away, it took them to drive about 16 hours from San Jose, California. Neither, Jack or Kim spoke.
"Just please put them on. I don't want to do all of this the hard way. Plus, you two seem pretty chill and nice."
Did he just say 'Pretty Chill'? Jack thought.
But they soon gave up on resisting. They didn't want all of this to turn the hard way. It was scary/weird enough as it was. It doesn't need to get any worse on them. They both put the blindfolds on and were guided out of the car.
Kim smiled at the sound of- well, the sound of anything other than that dang limo. She could hear cars, people talking, and cell phones ringing. However, she did wonder that if she was around so many people, how come they aren't doing anything? Two teenagers, blindfolded and being dragged somewhere they don't know, and no one helps? Great. Wonderful city where we are.
Jack heard the sound of a bell going against a door. They were currently going inside of a hotel, but Jack and Kim didn't know that.
"Come on'" Kyle said, readjusting his grip on the two teens arms. He guided them over the elevator and pressed the up button. Kyle was a little surprised that they were going along with this so well. When he signed up for this, he thought he was going to have two struggling teens, threatening to kick his butt if he didn't let them go.
The elevator doors slid open, they stepped inside and waited. Kim tensed a little bit, as each floor they went up; it made a little beep sound.
Once they stepped out of the elevator, Kyle dragged them towards their hotel room. There were two bodyguards outside their room, just to make sure neither of them got out. Kyle opened up the door and pushed them inside.
"I'll be up in about an hour or so with some food. Oh, and you can take the blindfolds off." Kyle said before shutting the door and leaving Jack and Kim in the hotel room.
"What! I am not jumping out of a plane. This is crazy." Jerry said.
"Exactly, we are not going to jump out of a freakin' plane!" Eddie said.
This is what Elizabeth was scared about. That they would refuse to do this, but she did notice that there was no reaction from Milton, yet. She looked at him, hoping that he would say something. Something fast.
And thankfully, he did.
"Guys, come on' we have to do this"
"What, no we don't! Since when were you the one to make decisions for us?" Eddie asked.
Jerry was surprised, but Milton was caught off-guard by his remark. Eddie was this sweet, shy kid and he just snapped out of nowhere.
"Guys, we have to hurry. We have 5 minutes until we pass over where you guys are supposed to go." Elizabeth tried to get them to hurry.
"I thought we were going to Ontario?" Milton asked.
"It was just for you guys to get on the plane. Now hurry!" She said.
"We have to jump out of the plane if we want Jack and Kim back!"
"What happens if we don't jump out of the plane?" Jerry asked Elizabeth.
Elizabeth groaned in frustration. She started to rub her temples in a circular motion, trying to calm herself down. All she had to do was get them to jump out of the plane. That's all she had to do and she can't do it.
"If you don't jump out of the plane, you guys will have to wait til we land to find the clue. But if you do that, you will have no clue to find the clue. If that makes sense. You will basically have to search every inch of Ontario, Canada to find the clue. And that will take a while to do."
That silenced the three Wasabi Warriors.
"Look, all you have to is jump out of the plane and once you start seeing land, you pull this string right here." Elizabeth said, poiting towards a string on one of the backpacks.
Eddie sighed, "That's all we have to do?"
Elizabeth nodded her head vigorously.
"Okay, I'm in. For Jack and Kim." Eddie said, putting his hand out. Milton smiled and put his hand on top of his. They both looked at Jerry who was still debating whether or not to go along with this. But he finally gave up and put his hand on top of theirs.
"1...2...3. WASABI" They all said together.
They each grabbed their backpack, put it around their arms and nodded towards Elizabeth, indicating that they were ready. She grabbed onto a poll that was right above her head, so she wouldn't get blown away and opened up the latch. Wind came rushing into the plane. They all looked at each other before yelling "WASABI" and jumping out of the plane screaming for their lives.
Wow, a lot of things happend in this chapter.
This was a longer chapter, not that much longer but longer. I updated earlier than I planned because of the amazing response I got for the first chapter. But now, I probably won't update until I get out of school.
So, it will most likely be a couple of weeks until I update.
More things will be explained in the next chapter. I have to leave some mystery to keep you guys interested, don't I?
Anyways, thanks to everyone who reviewed and I really hope you liked this chapter. And I will update Shadowing either tonight or tomorrow. Most likely tomorrow though, so be on the lookout for those who read it.
See you later!
