Just checking, though -- so far, only Dawn knows that Jack has the memories of a 50-something Air Force general (not Kit and Carlos)? Or do all three 'kids' know that Jack's not ENTIRELY the teenager he seems to be? (If Carlos and Kit don't know, I can just imagine the reasons they envision for Jack's choice not to date other teenagers of either sex.)

At the current moment in Fragile Existence, only Dawn knows the full truth. Kit and Carlos, however, do know that Jack isn't 'real' so to speak. I'll probably touch on this more in Fragile Existence.

I like the real reason Carlos cancelled the date. That's so much manly. LOL. I like how you managed to show the uncomfortable feeling Jack and Carlos feels for the chick flick moments. Good chapter.

:D Manliness is very important to both Jack and Carlos. Thank you.
Another great one Laney! Keep up the great work & good luck with all the finals! Fingers *&* toes crossed for ya! *G* (I'd do the eyes...but I gotta work! *VBG*)

Thanks, Lisa! Although, all this posting has taken my mind off Uni for the moment which is a good thing (I'm a bit of a stress head!) . Next chapter is tomorrow night.

Awwww...! That's so . . . Jack (and how cool is it that Carlos takes the edge off the potentially emotional moment by trying to weasel car keys, too -- doing the "hey, I'm still a high school boy!" thing). Love Dawn's response, also.

Thank you! Glad you liked Carlos. I enjoyed fleshing the character out through all the chapters.

I like how you make Jack completely uncomfortable when dealing with emotion especially women's emotion. That's very in-character. There's going to be more?
Comments from author:
Aaah, yes, Jack will never be completely comfortable with emotions, especially Dawn and Kit's.
Yep, there'll be more. The next will be up tonight or tomorrow, depending on how much study I get done.
