I do not own any of the characters except for Arabella.
~Arabella's POV~
I sat with Jack on one of the red benches watching Jerry and Eddie up on the jousting set up that Rudy put up.
"The joust is a highly-specialized. Combat technique. It's all about control, balance and Grace." Rudy told them.
Then Eddie put up his pugil stick and was beating the grace out of Jerry as he yelped in pain from the hits.
"Stop! Stop!" Jack tried to stop him while I just laughed, "You are beating the grace out of him!"
"Hey hey." Rudy said as the two jumped of their pedestals, "put down your pugil stick."
"Forget that! I'm taking this thing on the buss with me." Eddie said and then he attempted to hit Jerry again. Jerry screamed and ran out of the dojo while Eddie chased after him.
Then I saw Ty entering the dojo followed by Frank.
"Rudy!" Ty said.
"Ty, What are you doing here?" Rudy asked annoyed.
"I was over at the nail salon getting a power pedicure. Which, by the way, is manly because
it has the word "power" in it. And when I came out, I found this. Under my windshield wiper." He held up a folded piece of paper.
"What is it?" Jack asked confused.
"It's the thing that goes back and forth on your car when it's raining." Frank explained sassily earning deadpanned looks from all of us. "It's amazing."
"What's amazing is you're 19 and still in the seventh grade." I shot back.
"This is what I'm talking about. Your Bobby Wasabi flyer was on my car." Ty said angrily.
I sighed at their rivalry. "They act like 5 year olds."
"This is a declaration of war, Rudy." Ty announced.
"This isn't about flyers, Ty." Rudy said snatching it from him. "It's about the feud that started between us years ago."
"What you did to me was wrong!" Ty exclaimed angrily, "But it doesn't matter. Because I'm still the best Sensei in this town." He took a few steps towards the pedestals before turning around dramatically, "You up for a little joust?"
"I never walked away from a joust in my life." Rudy walked towards Ty, trying to look cool. The two then had a staring contest before rushing to pick up their pugil sticks and climbed on the pedestals.
"Now if you don't mind, I'd like to take a moment to harness my chi." Rudy said seriously.
"I'll do the same." Ty said but when Rudy closed his eyes he hit in the side with the pugil stick causing Rudy to fly off the pedestal and land on the ground with a thud. "Ha ha! I'm the King of the world! Yeah... whoa!" Ty cheered but he forgot that he was standing on the pedestal so when he took a step back, he too fell to the ground with a thud.
Don't you get all tough with me, I'm saying won't you come kick it with me? and we can have a ball, run up the wall, this is how we do, and no matter how much, I chop and punch, it's not as cool as kickin' it with you.
Here we go, let's start the party, chop it up
like it's karate.
everybody, don't you get all tough with me, I'm saying won't you come kick it with me? and we can have a ball, run up the wall, this is how we do, and no matter how much I chop and punch, it's not as cool as kickin' it with you.
Milton called me over to talk about something. I was running a little late and made it just on time, "I'm here." I walked over to the table where Milton and sat across from him.
"Bella, I finally feel like I'm ready to go out with a girl..." Milton trailed off looking nervous.
"So, who is she?" I asked him excitedly.
"I like this girl named Julie. The first time I saw her in chemistry class my heart stopped." He added and then was having some, flashback.
"Hey!" I said clapping my hands together, "I'm not mind reader, so tell me what's wrong."
"I'm terrified to ask her out." Milton said, "What if she says no? Gah!"
"Relax, I got this. I'm really good at helping people find love." I said.

I was walking down the school corridor to see Jack speaking to Julie, the girl that Milton was enamored by. "Eh, no problem." Jack said taking a few steps before turning around to see Julie right behind him.
"So...I'm not a manly man? I mean, nothing here or here works for you?" Jack asked gesturing to his face and body. What is he doing.
"Just Let it go, Jack. It's never going to happen." Julie said then walked away. Wow that was something.
"That's fine, I have a girlfriend." he called after her as the bell rang. I made a mental note to talk to him about it later.
After school I went to the dojo and saw Jack there sitting on the bench.
I walked up behind him, "So I saw you talking with Julie earlier Mr. Manly man." I mimicked im.
He spun around, "Its not what it looks like."
"Oh really because it looked like you were hitting on her."
"No, no, no. I was just talking to her about her crush on Milton."
I stopped no way, "Sweet Apple..." I muttered, "So Milton likes Julie and Julie likes Milton? Do you know what this means?"
"Yes, I do. It's a perfect storm of nerd love." Jack said.
"No." I pause "Actually yes but that's beside the point. We have to help them, earlier he tried to give her flowers and it didn't go quiet as planned." Milton tried to give her them but panicked and ended up eating them. "Idea!" I shouted, "Okay Falafel Phil's. Tomorrow night. You bring Milton and I'll bring Julie. But whatever you do don't let him bring Roses. He was passing gas all afternoon it was disgusting." Jack just laughed.
The next day, Milton, Julie, Jack and I were all at Falafel's Phil for Milton and Julie's little date.
"So, Milton, Julie, I hear you guys have chemistry together, so.." I said and make hands gestures to both them to talks to each other.
Milton looked at Julie and sighed, "Julie, I'm sorry. If you want to go home, I get it."
"I don't want to go home." Julie told him.
"So you want to stay here?" Milton asked hopefully.
"Does an object in motion tend to remain in motion?" Julie asked softly.
Jack and I looked at each other with confused expression on our faces.
"Sorry for breaking you guys cute moment, do you want us to leave." I said, looked at them.
Both of them looked at us and nodded. "Yes please."
"Oh." I said then stand up and pushed Jack out with me.
"What just happened?" Jack asked confused.
"I'll tell you what just happened. They just broke up with us." I said playfully and Jack smiled at me and pulled me toward him and lean down to kiss me and I kiss back, and pulled away, then we walked away.

After that we just went to the dojo and joined up with the others. Soon Milton and Julie came walking in hand in hand. "Milton, maybe you'd like to introduce me to your lady friend?"
"Rudy, this is Julie. And like me she feels that Pluto was unfairly downgraded from planet status." Milton introduced her happily.
"Asteroid, my butt!" She joked and the two laughed while walking over sit on a bench, "Meeting Milton was the best thing that's happened to me since I moved here."
"While Julie's parents are in Europe, she's living with her Uncle." Milton filled us in.
"See, that's what families are all about. Your Uncle sounds like a great guy." Rudy beamed. The doors burst open, revealing to a livid Ty and a smirking Frank.
"There you are. Frank told me he saw you two together." Ty said, looking at Julie. He is her uncle, oh yikes.
"Yeah!" Frank agreed in Ty's ear.
"What are you doing here?" Rudy demanded.
"I came to get my niece." Ty answered.
"Ty is your Uncle?" Milton asked Julie.
"Julie is your niece?" Jack asked.
"Yes, she is. And I forbid her from seeing him." Ty forbid her.
"You can't forbid her from seeing him, because I forbid him from seeing her." Rudy countered. Jack asked.
"Well, I forbid them first." Ty shot back.
"No, I did it..."
"Forbidden! La la la la la!" Ty obnoxiously 'sang' covering his ears before dragging Julie away.
"Milton." Julie called.
"Julie." He called back. Wow, Romeo and Juliet, just with nerds.
...| (• ◡•)| (❍ᴥ❍Ʋ)
"Rudy would freak if he found out we were helping Milton to see Julie." Jack pointed out as we watched Milton and Julie share their first actual date in an alleyway. Because of all the 'forbidding' that Jack and I were helping Milton and Julie see each other.
I shook my head and watched Milton and Julie talk, "I don't care. We have to help them. I believe in a thing called love."
"I'm sorry we have to meet in an alley." Julie sighed.
"I don't mind the alley. When I'm with you I can ignore the smell of the..." Milton cut himself off, choking, "No, I'm sorry, that dumpster smells like where diapers go to die."
"Here they are!" Frank's voice rang.
"Guys, get out of here." I yelled as Milton and Julie rushed out of the alley. Jack and I fought the two black dragons while that made their escape.
"You probably shouldn't have done that. Again." Jack smirked.
"You just love saying that, don't you." I said.
Jack and Frank went and fight while I held back Brian. He tried to kick me but I blocked both that kick and the next one Brian tried. I the kicked him with a crescent kick aiming at Brian's head but he dodged it. I kicked Brain in his chest and he went flying backwards into some trashcans. He grabbed a can cover and tried to hit me with it but I dodged the first and avoided his second attempt by jumping backwards.
Brian tried to shove the lid at me but I bent backwards narrowly avoiding it. I quickly bought my arms up causing Brian to lose one hand of his grip. I attacked with a front kick and Brian was now in all the middle of all the boxes. I looked over and saw Jack and frank fighting. Frank attacked Jack with a high turning kick but Jack blocked it easily. Frank sent a punch which also met a block. Jack did a front kick and it sent Frank into the wall behind him.
He quickly recovered and did another sidekick. Jack blocked a kick, a punch, a punch, an yet another punch but Frank didn't stop his punches. Jack stopped the next one differently, he grabbed Franks arm twisted it and flipped Frank into the dumpster.
"The joke's on you. I landed in all these soft diapers." Frank informed us. Making Jack and I share a look of disgust. As Frank tried to get out of the dumpster, his foot got caught making him fall back in. Jack and I sighed, leaving the scene.
...| (• ◡•)| (❍ᴥ❍Ʋ)
"So after all of the forbidding I did, Milton and Julie. Are still sneaking around and seeing each other?" Rudy asked angrily after Jack and I told the situation.
"They can't see each other anymore. You know why?Because of you and Ty!" I exclaimed advancing on Rudy. "But I got news for you, 's not..."
"Okay okay, thank you. Thank you, Belle." Jack cut me off pulling me back away from Rudy. "Rudy, you've been feuding with Ty for 15 did it even start?"
"Well, we were both studying with the grand master." Rudy began to explain. "But only one of us would be deemed worthy of being his apprentice. We stood at the top of a mountain for our final competition... The ancient clash of the antlers. We battled for hours, trying to knock each other off those stumps." Then Rudy told us how Ty had lost concentration when someone farted and Rudy won. "So I became his apprentice, and Ty vowed that he would never rest until he got his revenge."
"So you guys had a feud for 15 because you stunk him off his stump?" I asked.
"N- no! It was the Grandmaster." Rudy corrected.
"Rudy, it's time for this thing to end." Jack stated. "Let me arrange a sitdown so you and ty can talk things out."
"Do it for Milton and Julie." I pressed.
"Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe it is time to move on and finally bury the hatchet." Rudy agreed.
...| (• ◡•)| (❍ᴥ❍Ʋ)
We were sitting around a round table in Falafel Phil's. By we I mean me, Jack, Milton, Julie, Rudy, Ty, and Frank. Jack stood up from his chair, making all of us shift our attention towards him. "We're here tonight to put aside our differences. Because we care about Milton and Julie. Now if anyone would like to say something, now is the time." Jack said. Frank stood up after a moment.
"I really like the way Bella's hair smells. That's all I got," Frank shrugged sitting back down. I saw Jack giving Frank a glare.
"Rudy, maybe you'd like to say something." I suggested.
"Fine!" He groaned, standing up. "What Jack said is true. Tonight is about Milton and Julie. I'd like us to, you know... Let bygones be bygones."
"Mmmm." Ty nodded.
No one else spoke so I looked over at Jack who was still glaring at Frank I tapped the table "Sensei Ty" I offered. Ty stood up, clearing his throat.
"Maybe we should just try and get along." Ty hesitantly agreed.
I nudged Jack and he replaced his glare with a smile, "Great! I think we've settled things. Now let's just all enjoy our meal."As we ate it only took a second before Rudy and Ty were at each other's throats.
"Uh, excuse me, what are you doing?" Rudy asked.
"I'm taking the last falafel ball." Ty replied.
"No no no. This is my ball, my fork was on it." Rudy argued.
"My fork was on it first, get off it." Ty whined.
"Never going to happen." Rudy denied. Everyone stood up p, going to one side as the adults fought. Halfway through the fight, Milton and Julie left.
... | (• ◡•)| (❍ᴥ❍Ʋ)
"They could be anywhere out there." I heard Ty stress.
"Anywhere." I heard Rudy agreed. Jack and I walked into the dojo with Milton and Julie.
"We found 'em." Jack sighed.
"Where were you two?" Rudy demanded.
"We were worried sick!" Ty continued.
"They have something to say." I told the two men.
"Milton and I have talked. And we're not going to see each other anymore." Julie sighed.
"Goodbye, Julie. I'll never forget you." Milton promised.
"Goodbye, Milton. I'm sorry it didn't work out." Julie apologized. Milton began walking away sadly.
"Wait!" Rudy stopped him. "I want to say something."
"No. No, I want to say something." Ty said before speaking in gibberish almost in tears.
"You know what? I finally understand Ty completely." Rudy agreed, also in a verge of tears. I looked in disbelief and Jack looked at with 'seriously' look and I just shrugged. "We've let our problems become your problems. Milton, Julie, we won't stand in your way."
"Thank you, Rudy." Milton thanked.
"I got Milton and Julie together. My work here is done." I spoke.
"Julie." Milton said spreading his arms wide.
"Milton." She said hugging him.
"Rudy." Ty copied.
"Ty." Rudy replied. As they hug awkwardly.
"Bella." Frank spoke happily.
"Frank." I spoke annoyed taking his outstretched hand and flipped him.
He sat up, "Did I imagine that or did she just flip me?" Frank asked.
Jack scowled at him, "Oh, you must have imagined it. Come on. You know what?You should go give her a hug."
"Okay, Bella." He tried again.
"Frank." I spoke in a annoyed tone, and flipped him again.
"That's my girl." Jack said flinging his arm around my shoulders.
"Oh, Frank, you're gonna be in seventh grade for a long time." Jack said in something that sound almost like sympathy.
