Um... So...


[Allen sounded rather awkward to say the least and he honestly felt it. He really had no idea what exactly was going on with him either. It was different but was it a good thing or bad.]

I need to talk to someone about something. It's not medical related, at least I really hope not. I just have something I need help with, that's all.

Yeah, you know, having feelings, liking someone, getting mushy about them...

... OOOH.

Is that it?!

Voice

[mynameisallen]

Eh?!

I mean, of course, I would like a friend. They wouldn't be a friend otherwise.

[He isn't nessissarily wrong about that.]

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

No, I mean like like - love!

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

Huh? Love is the same thing right? Like love for friends and family?

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

... Buddy, the more you fight it, the guiltier you look.

Voice

[mynameisallen]

I'm not fighting it, though. Love is a very complicated thing that I don't necessarily understand every aspect to.

Voice

[sos_pilot]

All right, then I guess I've got to cut straight to the core.

You wanna kiss this person?

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

Do I wanna kiss them?

[He at least knew what kissing was. Feelings are harder than actions to figure out.]

I mean...I think so. Yes.

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

On the lips? No wussing out on me with forehead or cheek or hand nonsense.

Voice

[mynameisallen]

Maybe. I assume that means something, right?

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

Well, yeah. If you wanna kiss someone you know personally on the lips? You DEFINITELY have, at the very least, a huge lovey-dovey adorable crush on 'em.

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

But she is a friend though.

[He doesn't want that to change because of it. it's clear that worries him.]

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

Easy, kiddo. I'm not saying you have to act on these feelings - it's just healthy for you to acknowledge 'em! And real friends will still be there for you even if romance doesn't pan out. Trust me, if every person I hit on never spoke to me again, I'd be a one-woman island.

[ ... maybe this is the sort of thing normal people don't admit out loud, but, that's della. ]

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

So I could just acknowledge them and do nothing about it. pretend that everything is okay?

[To be honest he would kind of like that really.]

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

Well... you shouldn't have to pretend everything is okay. I've seen what happens when people bottle up and go into denial. It ain't pretty.

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

What happens?

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

Well, have you ever seen a bottled up soda pop shaken over and over and over?

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

Actually, I have not. What happens?

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

[ She makes a closed motion with her hands, then opens them with a very loud - ]

BOOM!

Voice

[mynameisallen]

Wait, so people can actually explode?

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

What? No!

... I mean, technically people can, if you stuff them full of dynamite, but here I meant emotionally.

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

Oh, like when I snap when I get too angry at someone?

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

Yes, exactly like that! Phew, we finally got to a level of understanding...

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

Sorry it took me so long. This whole thing is new to me.

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

No, no, this is fine! I need practice before I do the whole "birds and bees" routine with my own kids.

[ She can only hope Donald didn't do it first... or if he did, the kids had no idea what he was saying. ]
