A/N After a huge roller coaster of emotions and moods and thoughts and ideas, this story is coming to end an. This is the last chapter. It took a lot of debating how I would end it, what I wanted to happen before the story was over and how I wanted to tie certain things together. I want to thank everyone who is reading this for your dedication. I actually really like how the ending turned out (except for the last like line or two, that's always the hardest) so I hope you've enjoyed this!

One last time, I don't own Kickin' It

Kim's POV

I woke up to a maid lightly shaking me.

"Kim, are you awake?" She coaxed.

I yawned. "Yeah! What time is it?"

"8 o'clock Kim," she said. "I'll give you a minute to wake up. I'm just going to be in the closet."

"Okay," I replied.

I looked over and saw Jack had already left his chair. I slowly fell out of bed and walked over to the closet.

"Okay, here is your outfit for the day. Everything else should be in the bathroom, but let me know if you have any questions," the maid told me.

"Okay, thank you."

She nodded and left to do something at a desk at the other end of the room. I turned back to the closet and saw a cute black dress matched with a cardigan and some boots. I'm not a dress girl, but even I got a little excited about the dress.

Folded next to the mannequin (which could only hold dresses, skirts, and shirts) was a pair of leggings. I grabbed the clothes and took them into the bathroom.

After I changed and brushed my teeth I came back out and saw the maid was still there, now with another lady.

"Oh, Kim! It looks so good on you! I told them you wouldn't like a dress and they said the leggings would not work, but clearly they do!" the maid said.

"Thank you!" I laughed.

"No problem! It is fun to choose outfits for someone as young as you. Besides, you could probably make anything look good!" she continued.

"Well, I guess I am beautiful," I joked.

"Yes, I am here to help with your hair, Kim. They told me to ask you, but you have 2 choices. Either straighten it and clip it back or slightly curl it and pin a little up in the back," the other lady said.

"Oh, I don't know... how about straighten?" I said. This was weird, it was like I had my own salon!

"Perfect!"

After finishing getting ready, I was STARVING! I looked at the clock and saw it was already almost 9.

Jack came in holding a tray of food and almost dropped it when he saw me.

"Wow Kim, you look good!" he said.

"Thanks!" I said, giving him a twirl just for fun. "What's that?" I pointed to the tray.

"Your breakfast. I already ate, but I offered to take you your food."

"Oh, thanks."

I ate as quickly as I could and Jack sat down and looked around the room, and me.

"Jack, are you staring at me?" I asked.

"Sorry, I can't help it, you look so nice!" he admitted.

I giggled and a maid walked in.

"Are you done Kim?" she asked.

"Yes," I replied, about to say more when she kept talking.

"Great! Follow me!" she said.

Jack and I looked at each other briefly before walking out. We walked for another minute or two and went into an office. The maid quickly curtsied and left.

"Okay…" Jack said awkwardly.

Just then my dad walked into the room.

"Great! You're already here! So, Kim, I don't know how much you know, but I'm guessing it isn't much. I already have a few different tutors scheduled and we do have some back-ups in case they aren't used to the kind of teaching style you like. We also need to get you prepped for a new wardrobe and I'll need to assign you a few trusted staff members. Although you are still unknown to most, we have a few meetings I would like you to come with me over the course of the next year. And-" he started.

"Wait," I stopped him.

"Yes?" he asked.

"Listen, dad, I love all this. It feels great and I'm happy to know my real family but," I stopped to think of the right words. "This isn't me. Maybe it will be someday, but I'm not a princess. I thought I was just plain old Kim, but I don't think I can be her again. I love this life, but it isn't mine." I stopped again not only to look for more words but for approval from my dad and Jack.

My dad sighed. "I knew I shouldn't have thrown this all on you so soon. Listen, Kim, I have a proposal."

"Okay," I said, wanting to hear what he could offer.

"We can let you go back to Seaford. You can stay with the Crawfords and still go to your karate dojo and most of the things you've left behind. That doesn't mean you aren't our daughter though. I suggest we send you back but with new lines of communication between us. You can live in Seaford but you will still have plenty to learn about being a princess. We can send a tutor, a few bodyguards - now that you are in danger of new threats - and you can regularly visit the palace. Life can't be the same as before, no matter where you live, but maybe this will be more comfortable?" I looked at him and through the sincerity of his eyes, I saw the reflection of my own excitement.

"Really?!" I asked, not believing that such a deal could exist. "You're being serious?" I practically yelled.

Dad chuckled and said, "Yes, I'm being serious."

I ran up to him and gave him a hug which he happily returned.

"Goodbye Mom, Dad," I said, holding back tears which was not too hard considering my excitement.

"Goodbye, Kim. Don't forget you can call whenever you need anything!" My mom said. "I'm going to miss you so much! I love you," she hugged me even tighter.

She gave me a kiss and stepped back to give Jack a hug.

"Don't forget who you are Kim, we love you," Dad said giving me another hug.

He turned to Jack. "You keep her out of trouble young man."

"Will do sir, although she might be the one keeping me out of trouble," Jack joked.

We all laughed and I got on the plane. We took off and I looked out the window at all the lights shining through the night. It had been a long day trying to pack and depart in less than 24 hours. Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep once more.

"Kim. Kim, we're almost there," Jack gently cooed.

I opened my eyes and saw Jack was standing over me.

"What? How could we be? I just fell asleep!" I asked surprised.

"It must have been a good sleep!" he smirked. "No bad dreams?"

I thought about it for a second and said, "No, actually. But you know what! I had the same dream as before, only I knew which house was mine from the start. I can't believe I didn't see it the whole time! I knew the whole time which house it was and where and I didn't even have to ask!" I paused for a moment to look out the window. "You know Jack, I'm glad you're here. No matter where we are, no matter what is happening, no matter what the heck is going on, it feels like home with you."

"You know what Kim? Me too."

"Jack?"

"Yeah, Kim?"

"I love you," I said.

Jack smiled and leaned in close until our lips touched. Too soon we parted for a breath and Jack whispered, "I love you too."

He pulled in close and we kissed again, at last, I was home.
