The next day.

"I'm reaaaalllly sorry about what happened with the Black Dragons, Kim," apologized Brody.

"Meh, don't worry about it Brody," said Kim.

"I really thought they had changed. They welcomed me back pretty nicely,"

"And they welcomed me back pretty nicely too… after the whole testing stuff…but anyways it looks like a lot of people have been changing their minds about liking me…"

"Hey, come on Kim, don't talk like that." Brody put one arm around her and gave her a one-arm hug, "you don't have to worry about me changing my mind about liking you. you know why? because you've got a friend in me. "

Kim laughed, "did you just quote Toy Story?"

Brody shifted his eyes from side to side and snickered, "so what if I did?"

Kim continued laughing, "you come up with the weirdest yet most perfect things to say."

The two had been walking around the outdoor mall and ended up passing Bobby Wasabi Dojo. Kim paused in front of it.

"You know…" Brody started, "you could ask Rudy if you can just take sessions just when Jack's not around if you want to avoid him so badly…and continue Karate…"

"I couldn't ask Rudy that," sighed Kim still looking at the dojo, "Isn't that kind of selfish?"

"Well how about I ask with you," said Brody, "that way it'll seem like more of a class than you getting special treatment and one on one sessions with Rudy?"

Kim smiled, "you'd do that?"

Brody shrugged, "Yeah why not, no point in going back to the Black Dragons now is there?"

Kim and Brody walked into the dojo. Bobby Wasabi was typically empty on Sunday but Rudy was usually hanging out in his office anyways. Kim knocked on his office door before entering.

"Rudy?" she said opening the door and peering in. The office was empty. "Huh. That's weird he's usually here."

Just then she heard the door close behind her. She turned around and tried to open the door but she was locked in. "What the? BRODY! something's wrong with the door! Brody can you open it?"

"Sorry Kim! I'm doing this because I care!" Brody shouted back on the other side of the door.

"What? Because you care? What exactly are you up to Brody? Brody you better let me out RIGHT NOW!" Kim shouted and started banging on the door.

Rudy, Milton, Eddie and Jerry came out of the back room. Brody gave them the thumbs up.

"Okay so now we have to go get Jack so Kim is forced to sit and talk with him," said Rudy in a slightly hushed voice.

"Leave that to us," said Milton. Jerry and Eddie nodded.

BANG BANG BANG

"Uh maybe we should let Kim calm down first before we send Jack in," said Eddie.

The group nodded in agreement with slightly frightened looks on their faces.

After a bit, Milton, Eddie and Jerry went off to find Jack. It didn't take them long. He was just sitting at a table in the mall, with an expression on his face that looked like he was thinking deeply about something.

"Uh Jack?" said Jerry, waving his hand in front of Jack's face.

Jack snapped out of his trance noticing his three friends standing before him. "Yo what's up guys?"

"Rudy wants to talk to you," said Milton, "He said to meet him in his office."

"I think it's about some competition," added Eddie.

"I can't worry about winning a competition now! I have worry about winning Kim back first!" exclaimed Jack, "Besides I've been awful during training lately, why would he want me to compete?"

"Well, I guess Rudy thinks you're still better than us even if you have been 'awful' lately," said Milton.

"Come on, Jack," said Jerry, "Do it for us!"

"Yeah if you stop going to these competitions, then Rudy might close the Bobby Wasabi Dojo!" said Eddie.

Jack sighed, "Alright, alright I'm going." He got up and made his way over to the dojo. His three friends followed.

Jack knocked on Rudy's office door and entered, "Rudy?" he said. But instead he found Kim pacing in the middle of the room. She froze when she saw him enter.

"Jack?" she said.

"Kim?" he said back.

SLAM!

"What the?" said Jack. He turned around and tried to open the door. It was locked. His three best friends locked him in Rudy's office with Kim Crawford. Smooth. He grinned to himself realizing what they were dong. He really did have a good group of friends. He turned to look at Kim. She looked furious.

"The windows are locked. There's no extra keys. They've trapped us in here!" Kim raged. Then a thought came to her mind and she gasped. "Jack Anderson did you have anything to do with this!" she glared at him.

"What? No! Kim I swear! I had nothing to do with this, I'm shocked that they did this just as much as you are!" Jack defended himself.

Kim huffed and dropped herself on Rudy's sofa. "I can't believe them," she mumbled to herself.

Jack stood awkwardly for a bit, then decided to seat himself on the other end of the sofa. "So how did they trick you in here?" he asked, trying to start a conversation.

"They didn't," replied Kim stubbornly, "Brody did."

"Brody?" Jack said surprised. "huh," he thought, "Maybe the guy wasn't so bad after all."

"yeah, Brody," said Kim. She shook her head, "I should have known better. He always seemed to support Kick."

"yeah what is that?" asked Jack confused, "He used that term on me too."

"It's this stupid idea the kids at school came up with. Brody told me about it. Apparently we were known as Kick as in our names mushed into one."

Jack laughed, thinking it was one of the most wierdest things that the kids at their school had come up with, but in attempt to convince Kim to take him back, Jack said, "I think it's cute."

Kim gave him a disbelieving look.

"Yeah it's like we're one person. And Kim, sometimes I feel about you like that, when we're together. Like you're my other half," said Jack.

Kim looked away from him. She didn't want to hear this. She was so stubborn.

"Just yesterday, when we were fighting the Black Dragons, I noticed that our moves were in sync. Like we were connected or something."

Kim groaned into her hands, "why do you keep doing this to me?"

"Doing what?" asked Jack.

"This!" said Kim, "persistently trying to win me back when I'm trying to get over you!"

"BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONLY GIRL I WILL EVER LOVE KIMBERLY CRAWFORD!" Jack burst, then calmed himself "Yes, Danny kissed me. Yes, it was nice. But it was no where near what I feel when I kiss you. She doesn't give me that heart-racing feeling when she's near like the way you do when you're near me. We have way too much in common it's like I'm dating myself! And whenever I was with her I always, always, thought of you!"

Kim just stared at Jack, trying so hard to be strong and not let herself be won over to easily. Jack moved himself a bit closer to her on the couch.

"I can't believe Danny let Zoey and Ashley manipulate her so easily. AND I can't believe that we let Zoey and Ashley manipulate Danny to get between us!" said Jack.

"Wait…" said Kim, "Zoey and Ashley were involved in this?"

Jack nodded, "Surprised?"

"No, not really," said Kim.

"And can't you see Kim? That by being broken up that we're just giving them what they want."

"They just don't want us to be happy."

"Well I can't be happy if I'm not with you! Everyone else sees how happy we are together and how we're great for each other. And I think you believe we're great together too, you're just too stubborn to admit it."

Kim glared at him, "you're stubborn too."

"And that's why I was outside the Black Dragon's Dojo after all of your sessions, even though I knew the Black Dragons would want to fight me whenever they saw me. Because Kim, I will fight for you until the end." Jack was sitting right next to Kim, now, holding her hand. "I'm begging for you to take me back, Kim."

Kim rolled her eyes, "Jack Anderson is begging?" she said disbelievingly.

"Because I've never wanted anything back so badly before."

She sighed, "I just don't want to get hurt again, Jack. I mean sure it was partially Danny that was kinda involved with us breaking up. But it was also because of the drama. It didn't have to be Danny causing the drama to break us up. It could have been any drama. And you can't stand drama. Let's face it Jack, we're in high school, this drama crap happens. And if you can't handle it then I don't think we can be together. " She took her hand out of his.

But he took it back, looked Kim in the eyes and said in the most sincerest way possible, "I will endure all the high school drama crap in the world for you and only you."

Jack finally broke down Kim's wall. A single tear fell from Kim's eyes. It wasn't a tear of sadness but happiness. Jack really did have an undying love for her. And she was pretty sure her love for him would never die either. She never thought that she could be with a guy as devoted and caring as Jack was. And she didn't believe that there was any other guy out there for that was better than Jack.

Jack softly kissed the tear on her cheek away. When he noticed that she didn't push him away he moved his lips moved towards Kim's and pressed them to meet her's. He felt that familiar fiery feeling in his chest, that he missed feeling when he kissed Kim. His heart raced as she kissed him back. He slid his arms around her bringing her as close to him as he possibly could. Her fingers combed through his hair. He moved his lips down to her neck and began to kiss it.

"I love you Jack," said Kim.

"I love you, Kim," he replied. "always."
