Misunderstandings (short story): Difference between revisions

After coming home from school, [[Professor Awesome|Eric]] drops in on [[Kim (Parallax)|Kim]] and [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny Everywhere]], feeling “cranky” after getting in a row with a girl in his class, [[Judy (Misunderstandings)|Judy]], which [[Eric's mother|his mother]] didn't understand. Assuming that she is dealing with Eric's first romantic disappointment, Kim begins to try and give him advice on how to deal with rejection, disappoint or heartbreak, with questionable input from Jenny (whose past experiences include a guy she liked having turned out to be [[Prince of the Lizard Kingdoms|the Lost Prince of the Lizard Kingdoms]] and a [[Tintin|cute Belgian kid]] having no awareness of her romantic overtures). When they finally let him get a word in edgewise, however, Eric makes it clear there was never anything of the sort between him and Judy, and they are simply rivals due to her wanting to do a robotics project, despite not being a “mad scientist” in the same way as Eric. Contrite, Kim promises to stay off the subject now and offers to help Eric with his maths homework.

* [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|The Jenny]] featured in this story is the one primarily used by [[Scott Sanford]] from [[PROSE]]: ''[[Parallax (short story)|Parallax]]'' onwards as his “default” Jenny. She is wearing red flannel pajamas at home; while she does have [[Jenny Everywhere's scarf|a scarf]], she is not wearing her [[Jenny Everywhere's goggles|goggles]].
