quick question on Kim reaction...

[Scoutcraft Piratess]

I'm working on a chapter right now... and there's something about it that just keeps bothering me.


So here's a hypothetical question: Let's say that it was not the real Kim at the end of So the Drama, but now the real Kim has discovered that Ron is in love with her. And she's very upset and emotional about this and doesn't know what to think, and she and Ron had a huge fight about it, but they still have to go on a mission together (because after much thought I have decided they would). How would Kim react to Ron?

Probably like how she would react to anyboy who she discoverd he was inlove with her.

Try to not get to emotionally attached. But scince Ron is her freind she'd still talk to him just.. weirdly.

So that's why its taking so long to update that story!

I honestly have no real clue about how they would react though. I can see them giving each other the silent treatment on the mission (due to akwierdness) and then maybe afterwards finally start to talk about it.

Or they try to talk about it before the mission, but it gets to wierd and uncomfortable, then the mission is silent, then after the mission all the emotions come out.

Just some food for thought, hope this helps ;D

Dang, I thought I could answer this one...

Hey I like pondering these sorts of issues. I can't give you a clear cut reaction instead I'll give you the next best things. A collection of them.

First off lets examine how Kim reacts to Guys who tell her, which Ron basically did, that they are in love with her. Ok that was quick. I can only think of Erik really asking out Kim first and her reaction to that was excitement. That wouldn't really apply to this.

Instead we will look at it in another way. How does she feel about Ron. First off Kim is possessive of the guy. Whether from love or from the fact that she just can't let him go we see time after time this side of her coming up. From this we can gather that Kim does worry about losing the guy. She values the friendship and well not react well to anything that changes the status quo. She is also a physically expressive girl more then she is verbal. Therefore I see her actions showing her clear discomfort with this change of events more then anything else.

List of things I think we would see if this happen.

1. The looks. Sometimes on purpose and sometimes not she would be throwing a lot of glances in Ron's direction. If called on it she'd get flustered and deny anything.

2. Avoidance of the topic. She won't talk about it until she figures it out. Besides she'll be in mission mode which means being professional.

3. Hesitation. She's unsure of herself right now due to the quick and sudden change. Her world in shock and she's trying to sort it out.

4. Target sighted kill now! When she sees the root cause of all her woes she'll go crazy with rage. Think the end of StD even though that turned out in your story to be a synthodrone. Basic concept still applies.

5. When things sort themselves out mission wise she'll want to talk about it. She'll probe Ron trying to figure out how he feels. After all she's unsure of herself at this point.

6. Other physical clues. Avoidance of touching and unnecessary touching. I see her varying between the two and in general being confused. We can see in Season two and three that she 'touches' Ron a lot. My personal feeling is this is her way of reinforcing her feelings. Considering her worry for the boy this will pop up a lot but she will also be self conscious at this point. What once would have been a simple slap on the shoulder could be interpreted as a angry swat now in Ron's mind after all. Kim's confusion will show clearly as she catches herself doing thing or not doing things.


That's what I see on the whole side of that. As for Kim's feelings towards Ron it depends the angle you want.

Personally I think the girl been in love with the guy since Season two and three. She hangs out with him so much in an attempt to keep him after all. Notice her avoidance of any romantic involvement with anyone else.

As for whether she knows this or not its questionable. Some things hint at this like how she looks up eager at the prospect of Ron asking her out in StD. Then again it may not be because she does fall for Syntho dude real quick. It's a whole mess of trouble here.

It's really up to you how she sorts these feelings out. All I can say is that she'll want to continue the relationship no matter what. Whether it goes to the next level is up to her.


Now Ron on the other hand is an entirely different issue. Think avoidance here. The guy put himself out and got slapped back in a way he didn't even expect. It's one thing to get rejected but to find out that your dream come true has been a lie in a entirely different thing. In some ways he'll feel betrayed by Kim and in other ways by himself. The guy will avoid unneeded talking and touching. He'll still protect Kim but won't want to open up to her. At all cost he'll avoid the issue at hand. I expect fits of angry to pop up like in any other healthy male whose dealing with way too many emotions at the moment. With Ron I see him wanting to kill the relationship at this point. Not because he doesn't want to be Kim friend anymore but because he just can't be. Issues after all.


Well hope this helps. I kind of just wrote it up so if you want me to clarify just ask a question. I'll try to answer best I can. I'm here to help after all.

Well, you already had them screaming at each other in the last chapter, but then you had Kim mostly angry that "she wasn't involved." Which I thought she was excellent, considering what a control freak she can be. Really, I'm seeing a cross of avoidance and trying to "fix everything" and go back to being friends (which, if you do, I will throw turkeys at you)

[Scoutcraft Piratess]

I wound up going for the highly emotional, don't-want-to-think-about-it, avoid-him, response

[PossibleKim]

A huge fight? This really sounds like the scene in Attack of Killer Bebes.

They will go on a mission but seperately. That is what I wil think.

She will try not to think about ti but discuss it with her mom or dad.

That is what I can tell

I liked that chapter! Very good, very good
