The alt history in the Civil War is for Ron to make a suggestion to Robert E Lee. He could have Turned to DC instead of Gettysburg, left a force of harrassers to stall the main Union Army and taken the city. He had the option, but with Ron's ability to offer suggestions at the wrong time (Senor Senoir Senior anyone?) A little Ron "pep talk" and Washington is taken. Yeah but this is Ron we're talking about here. I doubt the boy can name one general who thought in that war and I'd be interested to know if Kim could as well. Let's face it the average kid knows very little about history, military tactics, and combat. Kim can help train either side in better melee combat but I see neither Ron or Kim helping out in the rest. Except of course the obvious don't stand in a line bit and get shot at. Not a good tactic no matter what you say. As for the POW thing the important thing to remember is their going to be messed up. If anyone is capture though make it Ron unless you want to deal with Kim getting raped a thing that the Japanese would have done. As for the south they'd probably treat her better then Ron right before she got hung for spying but it all depends on the officer in charge. I'd personally avoid the whole POW thing right out and just go with another type of story. Up to you though.

I just started the first chapter of this story last night. It may be awhile before I post since I have my chap of Darkness Withing to write. Also my "Muppets" fic seemed to garner some attention so I'll be working on that.
While they will be in the situations they will not change history. They will experience it but not change it. As for historical correctness, I will be doing research into each situation before placing them in. There may be some things I have to change just for their safety sake. Not all the situations will be dangerous. Some may be just interesting, like them being on the coast of North Carolina when the Wright Brothers flew the first plane, or when Bell made the first phone, maybe it was Ron who caused acid to spill.
Dang it!!! I get a good idea and it grows like crazy. This one could almost be endless or at least very long.

Hmmm... Kim and Ron on the Titanic. When they get caught they would be treated as stowaways. Wonder what they could do to work off their passage. Maybe send them both to the kitchen. Kim in the kitchen could be a disaster in itself. Maybe she could be a maid. Anyways brains aworking.

Well, now that the story has started, you will get to see exactly what is going to happen to KP and Ron on the Titanic. Stay tuned. If will be a little while. I've got Darkness and maybe one other to update. It depends on my on muse also. If the mood/ideas hit me I'll get it out sooner.

I'm sure it's too late now, but you could have them go way, way back. Senlac Hill, 1066. Kim can smack the one overly-enthusiastic Saxon as he's about to charge after the fleeing Normans, and make him get back in line. Hastings minus a few disorderly fyrdmen, and suddenly the world changes.
Or Kim could just go beat the Norwegians up at Stamford Bridge. Without the incredible troop loss Harold Godwinson sustained there (despite it being a crushing victory), he probably would have pwned William at Hastings.
That B*****d was no better than Charlemagne, who also screwed the Saxons over. The ones who stayed on the mainland, anyway.
I wonder if I'm the only medieval history fan here.

Yep. and the Anglos and the Saxons screwed the Britons, the Jutes just took up what they didn't want. Normans, Anglos, Saxons, Jutes, they are all descendants of the Norse.
But if Kim did change history like that, then she might stop existing, or Ron. I don't think that she would be the one to want to roll them dice.

Time travel, it's a cornucopia of disturbing concepts.

I may send them back further. It would be interesting. How about landing in King Arthur's court. They would run into Merlin maybe? Just their bit of modern knowledge could make them almost as powerful as Merlin. I am still searching dates, but I have to be careful that this thing doesn't spiral out of control.

What would be funnier is if Ron was the one they thought was the really powerful one, over Kim

Hmm, interesting. Interesting.
Here's a wildly massive thought. (Got it since I was reading the book.)
But how's about pulling an Eric Flint and transporting the entire town of Middleton or even the the entire tri-city area and dumping it in some point in time. (ala 1632)

(ala 1632) That would put them in pretty much unexplored country back then. I believe the spanish made it into Colorado by then, but not much. We are looking at some very interestng encounters with various indian tribes. While that would be a very interesting story, that would be a lot of research.

I did have a plan for them to run into the indians but only much later. Maybe, Little Big Horn, Wounded Knee, or just a gathering of the indian tribes. If I go way back I might go to Rome during the gladiator games or back to Athens for the Olympic games.

Then you could touch on the legend of "Ronicus and his mysterious Warrior friend"
