Chapter what?
Win or lose

Kim's pov

Grace and I were at the dojo talking, you know, girls' stuff, when Jack suddenly bursts in with a huge grin on his face

"Guys! And girls... Guess what just happened to me!

"You found a girlfriend?!" Exclaimed Grace with a beam on her face. Her expression quickly changed and she turned to Kim.

"-_- I guess you forgot already" I said

"Hehe. Whoops" she said, rubbing the back of her neck. It was just a few weeks after Jack and I had started going out. We had confessed our undying love for each oth- Okay, too cheesy. We found out that we liked each other and Jack spared no time to ask me out. Of course, I had to say yes!

"So, what's your news Jakcie?" I said with a smirk

"Never call me that" he said with a stern look on his face, which quickly faded "Anyways, take a look at this baby right here!" He flung out a piece of paper

"A restaurant bill?" I asked

"Nah, I think it's his will" said Grace

"Maybe a threat letter?"

"It's none of those." he said a little frustrated "it's a letter from the Seaford Lottery Organisation. And I -waves paper- just won the latest lottery!". Grace and I looked at each other wide eyed, most likely having the same thoughts in mind. We turned back to him.

"What was the prize?" I asked, just to be sure

"Oh. It's nothing much. Just $50,000 that's all" he said. This caused Grace to start snickering. I bumped her a little so she would stop, though I wanted to do a little snickering of my own

"Don't tell me you're actually going to meet them and give them that letter" she said

"Well duh. What do you want me to do? Hang it in my house for all my family members and future generations to see?" he said. "Now if you would excuse me, I'll be on my way to their office now" He spun around and left the dojo doors with a little bounce in his steps. Grace and I couldn't hold in our laughter anymore. We erupted in a huge laughing phase that went on for like 30-35 seconds, after which it died down

"Did you see the look on his face?! $50,000 my butt!" said Grace

"I can't believe he actually fell for that. I always thought he was smarter than that." I said, a little shocked

"Girl, It's Jack. He's like one of the most gullible people I know"

"He's not that gullible." i said trying to defend him

"You KNOW he's gullible. Especially for something like that" she said tucking some of her hair behind her hair

"Gullible is Jerry. Anyways, don't you think we should tell him the truth before he get's severly embarassed? I do feel kinda bad for him"

"Naw! I'm pretty sure he couldn't embarass himself" Just as she said those words, the dojo doors flew open. We turned and saw Rudy come in. Along with a furious Jack and a confused Jerry.

"BUT I'M SURE OF THIS!" yelled Jack, who was still holding the 'lottery' paper

"What's wrong guys?" I asked a little worried.

"Guess who just came back from the SLO?" said Rudy with a slightly annoyed look on his face "I have never felt so embarassed in my life"

"Neither have I!" yelled Jack

"Hey, me too!" said Jerry

"I wouldn't quite say that" Grace whispered to me

"Care to explain?" I asked

"Okay, so Jerry and I went to the SLO to visit my niece, Wilma. She works there. Anyways, I happened to stumble upon a certain someone -eyes turn sternly to Jack, who looks away- who was in a heated argument with her. I decided to clear the air between them and ask what was wrong. Turns out Jack here had submitted a counterfeit lottery letter." said Rudy

"Wilma said that it was fake and illegal. I was so confused because I didn't even know whether or not it was actually fake. We had it scanned and analyzed and it turns out it really was a fake. I apologized to her and everyone around and left with Rudy and Jerry. But obviously, I was so angry! I mean, what kind of sick person would pull this kind of trick?!" said Jack. I swiftly turned to Grace with an alarmed look on my face.

"Hang on. Jerry, how was this embarassing for you?" asked Grace

"Well I asked the Wilma chick for her number, but I got shot down! And man, that chick is hot!" she said, resulting in Rudy shooting him a weird look that said 'Dude, that's my niece you're talking about'. Grace turned back to me.

"I can't stand it!" I whispered to her and turned back to Jack, who was now sitting on the little bench "Jack. I'm sorry-"

"About what happened!" said Grace quickly as she made for me. I looked at her with a confused look and she looked at me in a way that said 'We can't let him know'

"It's okay. It's not your fault. If only I knew who it was that did all this. I would really love to rip the person to shreds" said Jack

"Yeah, would you REALLY wanna rip your girlfriend and her best friend to shreds?" asked Grace. Jack looked up with wide eyes

"Wait, what?" he asked. I looked guilty and walked closer to him. He stood up from the bench "You did this?"

"Well, me and Grace." I said a little carelessly "Are you angry at me?"

"Jack? Please don't rip me to shreds" I said, smiling a little. He didn't say a word but he just hugged me. I was so confused that I looked at Rudy, who just shrugged. After Jack let me go, he looked at me straight in the eyes

"How could I be mad at you?" he asked softly

"Oh I can state a few reasons" Said Grace with a smirk on her face. We looked at her with a face that said 'Seriously?' "What? Was it something I said?"

"Don't think you're off the hook Grace." said Jack.

"Oh come on, Brewer. We were just having a little fun" I said with a pout

"A little fun that almost destroyed my reputation"

"You have a reputation?!" Grace and I said at the same time in mock disbelief. Jack just rolled his eyes at us while we giggled. Jerry walked over to Grace and she stopped giggling and looked at him

"Yo Grace" he said in his usual smooth voice he uses when he tries tohit on a girl

"What do you want Martinez?" asked Grace with her arms crossed

"What it do?"

"Oh, you mean my fists? would you like to see a demonstration?" she said and held up her hands. Jerry's eyes went wide and he walked away quiclky. Jack and I started laughing while Grace smiled at herself in proud victory.

"So you forgive us?" I asked, turning back to Jack

"On one condition. You go on a date with me" he said smiling

"Okay okay. But Kim's gonna kill me though" said Grace, puffing her hair

"Not you, Grace." he said sternly but jokingly."I meant my little Crawfish"

"Awe... wait did you just call me a crawfish?" I said in realization

"Uhh... See you at Burger King at 5:30! See ya!" he said and ran off. I just stood there smiling

"What a goof." I said. Grace walked up to me and put a hand on my shoulder

"Yeah. But he's your goof." she said smiling

"I know..."

THE END! Wow, I didn't even imagine posting a chapter on any of my stories. I guess I won't be able to update more than usual. I mean, it's been, what, A year? 2? Barely 6 months? I don't know, but it's been a long time. So we'll see how things go
