Hellooooo,
Got bored with studying… and noticed more reviews!
So here it is
xxxxxXXXXxxxxXXXXXxxxxxxxxxx XXXX
PREVIOUSLY
I turned to Jack, "So, see you tomorrow, then? I ask awkwardly.
"Yeah, see ya," Jack said cheerfully.
His smile will be the death of me.
We both left.
3rd person POV
After Kim and Jack leave:
Milton: I have never seen so much romantic tension between a boy and a girl.
Eddie and Jerry: TRUE DAT.
JACK POV
I walked home from the dojo, thinking about Kim and her dream. God, I love that girl.
I remembered how I looked in her eyes at practice. I was so close to letting my true feeling slip out because she thought she was less worthy than Donna Tobin. I scoffed. Who could think that slutty bitch was better than Kim?
Kim...
Words cannot describe her. She's smart, funny, caring, totally badass, and so, so, beautiful. She gets this fiery look in her eyes whenever someone insults her, and I end up being the one who keeps holds her back. Not that I mind, of course…..
Kim Crawford has always been my rock, a spirit who cannot be broken. At least, until I
saw that spirit be broken two days ago….
FLASHBACK
I was walking to my locker when I saw Kim in an empty classroom, her head down on her desk. Then I noticed something that sent my heart down to my knees; the Kimberly Ann Crawford was crying, her breath getting choked between heart-wrenching sobs. I quickly opened the door and walked over to her. She looked up at me, face red and tears streaming down her face. Even in so much distress, she was gorgeous, but seeing her in this much pain made me want to cry, too. I started rubbing her back soothingly (I hoped).
"Sssshhhh, it's gonna be okay. I'm here, you're gonna be fine," I said, just like my mom would when I was little and woke up after a nightmare.
"No-o, I'm not. I just-" She broke in a new wave of tears.
I gently pulled her up from the desk and let her cry on my shoulder.
"Tell me what's wrong," I whispered.
She sniffled. "It's the Black Dragons," she whimpered in fear.
"What did they do?"
"They said that they were going to get revenge for what happened at the cotillion"
"Don't believe them, KC. Besides, we can take 'em," I said, using my nickname for her.
The Black Dragons weren't exactly difficult opponents, but their threats must have been bad if Kim was this scared. I started getting nervous.
"It was Frank doing most of the talking, so I didn't believe them at first. They told me that they'd go after my friends if I didn't listen to them. By friends, I thought they meant you and the guys, so I kept ignoring them. Then it got worse. They said if I didn't go over to their dojo and "put on a show for them" by the end of the week, they would hurt Morgan and Ellie!" Kim finished, her voice cracking at the end.
No, no way they're getting away with this…..
I was furious. They had the guts to threaten Kim after we kicked their butts last time, and the time before that? I knew what kind of "show" they wanted from Kim, and the thought made my blood boil.
When I get my hands on them….
Then I remembered that the Dragons threatened to hurt Morgan and Ellie. I loved those girls like they were my own little sisters.
Oh, it's on, Dragons…..
I pulled Kim away slightly so I could cradle her face in my hands. I gently wiped away her tears.
"I don't know what to do! They know where I live! They could easily kidnap them! Maybe I should-" Kim was on the verge of losing it.
No, whatever happens, you will NOT give them what they want.
"No. Kim, promise me that you won't worry about this anymore. Me and the guys aren't going to let anything happen to you or your sisters," I said firmly.
"Thanks, but I can't let you guys get involved. You'll-"
"Kim, as brave as you are, you can't do this alone. To me, this is personal now. I have to be involved." I said, cutting her off. She looked up at me, the redness fading from her face.
"Okay, I promise. Wasabi?" she asked, punching her palm with her fist.
"Wasabi," I smiled and did the same. Just then the warning bell rang.
"We should get to class," I said.
"Yeah"
And there we went.
AT LUNCH
While Kim was still in line, I went over to the Wasabi table. Good, the whole gang was there.
"Listen guys, the Black Dragons have reared their ugly heads again." I quickly explained the story.
"Dude… that's just wrong, yo!" Jerry exclaimed.
"Oh my god… going after six-years olds. That is a new low!" said Milton.
"What are we gonna do?" Eddie asked.
"I'll tell you what we're gonna do. Listen, don't overdo it at the dojo today. After practice, we go over to the Scabby Dragon and teach Frank and his little friends not to mess with the Wasabi Warriors. Gentlemen, are we in?" I said, outlaying the plan.
"I'm in," -Eddie
"Me too," -Jerry
"All for one, one for all" - Milton
"What are we talking about," a female voice said behind me.
Uh oh, I can't let her know our plan, she won't approve.
"Uhhh, Jerry… is wondering if jumping off a boat will get him rescued by a mermaid." Milton stuttered quickly.
"Mermaids don't exist Jerry," I said.
"Dudes, of course they exist. There's been like, 4 movies about them."
"All from Disney, pal. All from Disney," Eddie said.
AT THE DOJO
"Well guys, great practice, see you tomorrow," Rudy said after practice.
"Actually, could I hang here for a couple hours? My mom's working late," Kim asked.
"Sure, no problem," Rudy replied. The guys and I got up and left.
"Guys, you forgot your stuff!," I heard Kim yell.
"We'll get it later!" I yelled back.
AT THE SCABBY DRAGON
We walked up and looked in the window. I saw Frank and three other Black Dragons walking out. "Good, they're here," I said. We hid behind some bushes as they walked out.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't our favorite gang of idiots," said Milton as we jumped out. I sighed. They agreed to help me as long as they could all have snippy one-liners.
"What do you want, Wasabi wimps?" Frank asked arrogantly.
"You threatened a certain señorita Crawford, and now, you're gonna pay, cabróns," Jerry said menacingly. "If it's Kim who we've threatened, why doesn't the scared little bitch come out and fight?" Frank yelled back. I nearly lost it at that point, but Eddie quickly said, "You mess with one of us, you mess with ALL of us, Curly Top!"
"ENOUGH! ATTACK!" Frank yelled, and the Black Dragons sprang into action. I immediately began fighting Frank. What what I could hear, the guys were doing an okay job of handling the Drags. We continued like this for a while, maybe twenty minutes.
Surprised no one's called the cops, but then again, this isn't a good part of town.
Finally, four Black Dragons laying groaning on the pavement. I walked over to Frank and bent down. "Listen Shirley Temple, not only is Kim Crawford our friend, she is MY GIRL. If you ever try to touch her or her family again, I'll be back. And next time, you'll wish you've never been born. Got it?" I snarled in my most dangerous voice. He nodded his head, trying to stem a bloody nose. I got up and sauntered back to the guys, who were dusting themselves off. We returned to the dojo.
Was it impulsive to tell Frank that? Yes.
"Will it come back to bite me?" Probably.
"Do I regret it? Not at all.
I needed to tell someone, even if it was my worst enemy.
BACK AT THE DOJO
"Hey! I thought you were going to leave your stuff here!" Kim said as we walked in.
"N'aww, we just went to get something to eat," I replied cooly. Kim looked at us, taking in Milton's limp, a cut on Eddie arm, Jerry's shiner (black eye), and how I was covered in dirt and bruises. "No, you clearly went out and -" She gasped. "You didn't, please tell me you didn't challenge the Dragons." I smirked and walked up to her.
"The Dragons will think twice before coming after you again, so don't worry."
"You could have at least let me come along," Kim pouted.
"Trust me. This was one of those 'guy' things. Besides, you were kind of emotionally unstable," I told her. She smiled and gave me a warm hug.
"Thank you," She whispered into my chest.
"No problem," I said, kissing the top of her head.
"IF YOU TWO ARE DONE OVER THERE…." I heard Milton say in this annoying nasal voice. We broke apart and walked over, giving him the death glare.
"IT'S HUG TIME!" said Jerry, hauling everyone into an enormous bear hug.
Kim's mom picked her up, so I felt okay, knowing she wasn't going to get jumped. I hopped on my skateboard and headed home.
It hurts like hell but it was sooooo worth it…..
END FLASHBACK
By this time I was home and trying to fall asleep. I remembered what Kim said about her dream, and wondered if I would have a similar one
Little did I know I would be right….. ..
xxxxxxxxXXXXXxxxxxxxXXXXXXXX XXXX
There you have it! Chapter # 4!
Part of the reason I classified this as Mystery was cuz every chap kind of ends with a question, kinda making you want to read more….
Anywho…. Wonder what Jack's gonna dream about? I may have a bunch of little dreams flashing through his head , so leave some suggestions, please!
I decided the Scabby Dragon would be a good hangout for the BD's like Falafel Phil's is to the Wasabi Warriors. I also think "Kimmy" is overused as Jack's pet name for Kim, so I thought….. KC! And it worked (Reminds me of how in Kim Possible, Ron calls Kim "KP". Ugh! That show was the best! Why did it end! )
I just realized KC sounds a lot like Casey, lol.
So…. Still have a bunch of tests/quizzes this week, so READ & REVIEW if you want next chap by Friday/Saturday. Wait… I have to do a french essay….
Oh **** GTG!
