Girls in the Summertime

@ Aly Jones
OMG, that is such a wonderful idea! This actually brings some backstory to Lucy and how they know each other. Blake is the type to kind of get shit done and stand up for injustice since she was taught to do what is right. Her parents are business buffs but they've always taught their children to do the right thing and Blake follows the ideals that her parents teach even at a young age.

They can absolutely bond over that! It is such a wonderful idea! I don't think beating the kids up would be in character for Blake. Since she grew up with parents who are business people, she learns to use intellect to solve the problems. Maybe Blake can like dig up or create some small evidence that can get the kids in trouble... wait, maybe Blake would have like a limited edition version of a special pack of crayons or some shit like that and bribe the kids. It's like "I'll give you the limited edition crayons if you stop picking on Lucy." (it's a very business-driven mentality at a completely elementary level and it is fitting for her character.) How do you feel about that?

And awww man! It's fine, you develop your story how you want! I will be down with whatever you decide. But we better take advantage of Crazy Chris and what his character can offer to the story before he takes off.

@ Aly Jones
Yea, that sounds like a brilliant idea! I like it! :D

@ Kukilein.
How about the idea I proposed on the last page with Blake and Austin? What are your thoughts on that?

@ king in the north @ Kukilein.
Okay, I'm glad you all like it. I just love throwing in some bullying awareness every now and again. I feel that it gives characters some layers.

@ king in the north @ Aly Jones
Oh my God, I thought I answered you already, I'm so sorry!
Anyway, I kinda like that idea - I'm thinking this: "My dad is stronger than your dad" kina thing, I don't know why haha :D

But yeah that sounds like a really good idea - it kinda make a huge conflict in the story.

But this is going to happen long after Aly's idea, right?

@ Kukilein.
I certainly hope so. I'd like for the girls to have one more fun day at the beach before all hell breaks lose.

@ Aly Jones
Yeah exactly.. I just wanted to make sure :)

@ Aly Jones
Well, that whole bullying thing is like a backstory right? But yeah, the beach day is just going to be just all fun and everybody getting along (correct me if I'm wrong.)

@ Kukilein.
Alright, then that can create conflict between Allison and Blake. And since Allison's family knew Blake's family since forever, then the whole Austin/Blake thing makes sense cuz they technically grew up together so they are more willing to do favors for each other and such.

@ king in the north
The bullying thing is a back story on how Lucy became their friend, yes. I'm thinking of throwing a few surprises in for the beach scene, though, so stay on your toes. ^_^

Also, let's all vote! (You, too, @ Kukilein.) Clumsy Chris: Stay or Leave?

@ Aly Jones
STAYYYYYYY! But if it interferes with your intended plot then make him leave (even if it hurts!)

And dude, I am way too excited about the surprise... HURRY BEFORE I DIE OF ANXIETY ATTACK DARLING!

@ king in the north
Haha. You're crazy and I love it.

I'm just searching around my computer for any possible rough drafts of the beach scene chapter I might have before I start. I wanna see where my mind was.

@ Aly Jones
Ahh okay, LOL ignore me and my craziness hahah! I just ate a whole box of chocolate so I am a bit overexcited.

But yeah, good luck finding what you are looking for!

@ king in the north
And you didn't share your chocolate? Shame. smh

@ Aly Jones
I am greedy when it comes to my chocolates; just so you know ;)

@ Aly Jones
How's the writing coming along? Need any help?

@ king in the north
I think I'll be good. My biggest fear is Blake and Allison don't come out correctly. I'll probably post the chapter here first to see what you guys think once it's finished.

@ Aly Jones
Well, yeah sure, that'd be fine. I mean, I think the first two chapters, you've incorporated Blake very well (too well, I believe haha!)

Good luck though! And I honestly can't wait to read that chapter!

@ Aly Jones @ Kukilein.
Hey, are we still alive?

@ king in the north
Yup... Sorry, I just haven't been much online lately.

@ Kukilein.
Ahh, it's fine. Just want to make sure we're still rollin'
