Jack looks around nervously as he stands outside of Golf-n-Stuff. He and Mikayla decided that they would hang out tonight and he was extremely nervous. His hands were clammy and his heart was racing. It wasn't even a date, but he was adamant on making a good first impression on Mikayla.

She was a very pretty girl and she seemed nice from the time they talked at the water park and the texting they had done over the past couple of days.

He turns to his left again hoping to catch a glimpse of the girl anywhere. He sighs lightly as he searches the crowd of people leaving and entering the building. He jumps as someone places their hand on his arm. When he turns he sighs in relief as he sees Mikayla.

"Oh, god."

"Sorry." She chuckles, "I didn't mean to scare you."

"No, it's okay." He says shaking his head, "Uh, you look great."

Mikayla looks down at herself, "Oh, thank you. So do you."

Jack's smile widens as his cheeks become red. He looks around, "So, uh, you ready to go in?"

"Yeah." She smiles. Jack wastes no time in opening the door for her and following her in.

Jamie and Miguel just got back from a date at the park. Miguel planned a picnic for them to try and make up for the time they spent apart while he was in Mexico. Jamie thought it was the cutest thing ever and was still on cloud nine with a huge smile on her face. They were now making their way up toward her apartment to spend some more time together.

"We can watch the Harry Potter movies." Miguel suggested

"If you want me to fall asleep, then sure." Jamie chuckles

"Everyone has to watch the movies at least once in their life." He says as they stop by her door

"I've only ever gotten through the first thirty minutes, so that's not a good idea." She says as she opens her door

She turns and immediately stops causing Miguel to slightly bump into her. He catches himself as he places his hands on her waist.

"Dad." She mutters

"Hey, Jamie." He says standing up. Amber stands up quickly.

"Jamie, honey, I tried calling you, but it went straight to voicemail." Amber says

"I had it on do not disturb for our date. What's going on?" Jamie says

"I wanted to come see you. We tried calling, but we got nothing." Her dad tries

"Because you guys won't stop blowing up my phone even when I keep telling you I want space."

"Jamie, maybe I should go." Miguel says loud enough for only her to hear. Jamie just squeezes his hand as a response. Miguel looks down as she lets go.

"I just wanna talk to you, honey. There's a lot to talk about." He says

"I can't right now. I have plans."

"Jamie-"

"I can't right now, dad." She interrupts, "I need time. I've told all of you that I need time to understand how I feel and you guys aren't giving it to me."

"I'm your father, Jamie. I deserve a conversation with you." He says

"You don't deserve anything. You haven't seen me in god knows how long. You can't just show up demanding things." She spits, "I need time. Sorry, if it's not fast enough for you."

Her dad goes silent as Jamie starts to walk toward her room. The girl turns as she realizes Miguel wasn't behind her, "Miguel?"

His jaw goes slack as he turns toward her parents, "Um, I'm just gonna-" Amber nods with a smile on her face, "Yeah."

He quickly follows behind Jamie. Amber looks over as her door closes.

"I told you this was a bad idea, James." She says

"She's been ignoring me, Amber. Ignoring everyone. What was I supposed to do?"

"Give her time like she asked you to. It's been years since she's seen you and she just found out that you have another family. That's a lot to handle at once."

James sighs, "I understand that, but she's my daughter."

"That doesn't mean you're entitled to just come in and out of her life whenever you want. She's grown into the young woman we wanted her to be. You can't fault her for it."

James looks over at Amber who has a knowing look on her face. He looks down before he makes his way toward the front door. As it closes, Amber smiles to herself.

Nevaeh walks into the room causing Sienna to look up. The older girl looks up as her sister just sits on her bed.

"Um, hello?"

"I need your help." Nevaeh says

"Depends on what it is."

"How do I get someone I don't like to stay away from me for the rest of my life?"

Sienna laughs, "Who are you talking about?"

"LaRusso."

"Mini LaRusso?" Sienna clarifies as Nevaeh nods, "Oh, sweetie, he has a crush on you."

"No, he doesn't."

"Yes, he does."

"No."

"Yup. There's no other reason why someone who "hates" you is wanting to spend time around you."

Nevaeh sighs as she falls back on the bed, "I don't want that."

"It's not something that you can exactly control, Nevaeh."

"How do I make him not like me?" She says looking over

"I don't know, Nevaeh. It's not something I usually have to worry about."

Nevaeh groans as she stands up, "You're literally no help at all."

"Awe, bummer." Sienna says not even sparing her a glance. Nevaeh rolls her eyes as she opens the door.

It had been a couple of hours and Miguel had actually convinced Jamie to watch Harry Potter. They were half way through the second movie when Miguel looked over at Jamie. Her eyes were on the screen, but she definitely wasn't paying attention.

"How are you liking it so far?" Miguel asked pulling Jamie out of her trance

"Uh, it's- it's good." She says clearing her throat

Miguel smiles, "You don't have to lie."

Jamie looks over at him and chuckles, "I'm sorry, it's so boring."

Miguel laughs as Jamie covers her face, "It's okay. Don't worry about it."

"I really tried, but they're like five hours long." She says looking back at the screen

"I know." He says. His eyes scan her face as she keeps her eyes on the screen. The light from the tv illuminated her face in a way that made her look more beautiful which Miguel hadn't even thought it was possible.

Before he even realizes it, his hand starts to make its way to the side of her face turning her towards him. Jamie, at first, was startled but calmed down once Miguel kissed her.

She kisses back softly before she starts to pull away. She doesn't get far before Miguel is pulling her in again to kiss her. She's taken aback by his straightforwardness, but doesn't oppose the kiss at all.

Jamie's head turns to the side slightly deepening the kiss. Her hands go to his jaw as Miguel's goes to her waist. Jamie gasps as Miguel pulls her onto his lap.

He seems to hear her as his eyes go wide, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." She says with a smile

"No, I'm- I'm sorry. I got carried away-"

"Miguel." She says placing both of her hands on his face. He looks up at her as his heart beats hard in his chest, "It's okay. You didn't do anything wrong."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah." She says, "I don't mind."

Miguel looks down at Jamie's lips as she leans in and kisses him. Miguel hugs her closer as the kiss becomes more heated. Jamie's hands travel down Miguel's chest as his go to her waist.

Miguel pulls away, but doesn't go far, "Are you sure you wanna do this?" Jamie nods, but it's not enough for Miguel, "Jamie-"

"I'm sure." She says softly. As they stare back at each other, the situation they're in becomes more real to them. It definitely makes their relationship more serious, but did they really mind that?

Miguel watches as Jamie reaches down and pulls her shirt over her head. His eyes wander down her body before makes it way back up to her eyes where they linger.

Jamie smiles before pulling him in again.

The next day, the two woke up happier than ever. That happiness lasted awhile until they got a call from Sam asking if they would be up for helping rebuild Miyagi-Do/Eagle Fang.

Jamie wished their phones hadn't worked because the last thing she was worried about at the time was karate.

But they got the run down from Robby and ultimately decided they would help.

So, they stood together at Miyagi-Do as Sam opens the door with Robby right behind her. All the students from both dojos stood together as Daniel and Amanda walked out. Daniel's once sad mood turned into one of happiness as he looked around at the teens

Chozen and Johnny step to the side as he steps up to them. A smile makes its way onto his face as the teens bow to him. He looks over to Johnny and Chozen before the three of them bow to the teens.

Jamie looks over toward Miguel whose eyes were already on her. Their smiles become brighter as they stare at each other. Jamie looks back toward the front, but Miguel's eyes have no intention on leaving her.
