GPF Archive: Saturday, September 17, 2005 Dex: Thanks for all the great advice, Ki! Your critique of my Sci-Fi story really helped! / Ki: You're welcome, Dex. I hope you get to write more. / Dex: I based the characters on my friends, but since then they've taken on a life of their own. I really want to explore their histories and personalities now. / Ki: That's a good place to start. / Dex: While this one focuses on Kyoko, I think the next one will focus on Jas and Shalar. It's really bizarre how they meet! And I can't wait for Fooker and Sharon to read it too! / Ki: Um, be careful... / Ki: I've learned from experience that not everyone enjoys being cast as the green-skinned alien sexpot... / [[Sharon enters]] / Sharon: Who's a green-skinned alien sexpot?

GPF Archive: Sunday, September 18, 2005 Nick: Dropped by the post office. Looks like we've got another present from one of your relatives. / Ki: From Uncle Sakio out in California! / Nick: I didn't know you had this many relatives... / Ki: Well, they're scattered all over the globe. I doubt you'll ever meet all of them. / Nick: I can't believe we've gotten this many gifts already... / Ki: Well, the wedding is only a couple months away! Most of these are from people that won't be able to make it. / Ki: Oh boy. Another can opener. / Nick: At least this one isn't white. I'll put it with the other six. / Ki: You'd think that after this many years of both of us living on our own, they'd realize we already have two can openers between us... / Nick: I suppose it could be worse... / Nick: It could be the little pig in a straw hat, sundress, and sunglasses... / Ki: You don't know my Aunt Wei. "Tacky" is her middle name.

GPF Archive: Monday, September 19, 2005 Nick: Only a couple months 'til the wedding... Man, time sure has flown... / Ki: I know! And there's still so much left to do! / Nick: I called that hotel about the rehearsal dinner. Mom and Dad were okay with it and will take it from there. / Ki: Good. We still need to buy gifts for the wedding party. / Ki: Sharon and I had our final fittings yesterday. We got Lori's measurements via email. But the tailor isn't happy doing it long distance. Sharon, though, looks gorgeous in her gown. Fooker's going to love it. / Nick: I'm more concerned about what YOUR gown wlil look like... / Ki: Trust me. You'll love it. Or you'll love to get me OUT of it, I'm sure.

GPF Archive: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 Nick: I picked up some of the legal paperwork. / Ki: Legal paperwork? / Nick: Yeah, ya know, license application, name change forms, etc. / Ki: Name change forms... Wow. I guess I've been so busy, I haven't thought about that for a while... / Nick: Well, I kinda have been... / Nick: I know a lot of modern women feel they lose part of their identity when they take their husband's last name, so if that bothers you, I won't object if you want to keep "Oshiro" as your last name... / Ki: Silly. Of COURSE I'll take your name. It HAS to be easier for others to spell than Oshiro. / Nick: As long as we don't name any kids "Beef" we should be okay...

GPF Archive: Wednesday, September 21, 2005 Nick: Everything's all set for the honeymoon, by the way. Got the last confirmation today. Now we just have to pack and it's all set. / Nick: Fooker's been hounding me to find out where we're going. I think Sharon's in on it too. I haven't told them, of course, since we agreed to keep it a secret, but they're very persistent... / Nick: Are you okay? You got very quiet all of the sudden... / Ki: I'm sorry. I didn't call you over to talk wedding stuff. Really. It's... something you need to know. / Ki: I haven't told you, because it's the past, and that's where it belongs. But you deserve to know, as it explains a lot of things. / Ki: It's time I told you about Sam.

GPF Archive: Thursday, September 22, 2005 Nick: Sam? You mean the old boyfriend your dad called an "unpleasant experience"? / Ki: Dad was being tactful, which you now know is a feat on its own. / Ki: You've always accepted me for who I am NOW. You've been patient and never pressed me to elaborate on my past. But you deserve to know about this before you marry me... to know about my darkest moments. / Nick: It's up to you if you really want to tell me. But I'll go ahead and say now that nothing in your past could ever make me love you less. The past can never change, but the future is ours to write. / Ki: This coming from the man whose uncle invented a time machine... / Nick: Leave it to Uncle Wise to ruin a good motivational speech by violating the laws of physics.

GPF Archive: Friday, September 23, 2005 Ki: You already know that Fooker and I both went to college near here, and how we met. We hung out a lot, even after he graduated. / Ki: Fooker tutored me in some of my advanced classes, and eventually I decidied to return the favor and tutor other students. I alternated that and working part-time at GPF for a couple years. / [[Flashback to college days. Ki is tutoring Josh]] / Ki voiceover: Most of the people I tutored did really well, and I almost considered becoming a teacher. But there was one football player who had a really hard time with algebra, and I spent a long time working with him. / [[Sam approaches the table. Josh gives him a thumbs-up sign; Ki looks astonished]] / Ki voiceover: Of course, this wasn't about him. But without Josh, I never would have met Sam...

GPF Archive: Saturday, September 24, 2005 [[Image of Sam with a football]] / Ki voiceover: Sam was the star running back. He was smart, athletic, and came from a fairly wealthy family. Needless to say, most girls drooled over him. / Ki voiceover: Of course, you know me. Just because a guy is "hot" doesn't necessarily mean he's going to impress *me*. / Ki: Excuse us. Josh is busy studying. Can you talk to him later? / Sam [[whispering to Ki]]: Watch Josh. He has a hard time reducing polynomials. I'd hate to see what happens if he ever ends up having to find the best "Big-Oh" approximation of one. That'll be a hoot. / [[Sam walks away, winking and giving Ki the thumbs-up sign. Ki smiles]] / Ki voiceover: Of course, a firm grasp of discrete mathematics--or any display of high intelligence--is another matter.

GPF Archive: Sunday, September 25, 2005 Ki: [[narrating]] Ordinarily, Sam and I wouldn't have had much in common. His family was wealthy, mine middle class. He was a jock; I was a geek. We were from totally different worlds. / Ki: [[narrating]] But because of tutoring Josh, I spent more time than usual among the football team, and that put me in near constant contact with Sam. / Sam: Hey, Josh! You're up! / Josh: Be right back. / Sam: Hi! Let's see... it's Ki, right? / Ki: Yeah. Josh says you're Sam. / Sam: It's great that you're helping Josh out. He's a cool guy, a big teddy bear. But his math skills are abysmal, and the coach won't let him play if his grades slip too much. / Ki: He's doing okay. He just has trouble grasping certain concepts. Some people are wired differently than others. I used to golf with my dad, but I'm much more comfortable in front of a computer. / Sam: Well, thanks. I need him to block for me, and he can't do that if he can't factor a polynomial. / Sam: [[winks at Ki]] Come to tomorrow's game, and if we win, why don't the three of us celebrate?

GPF Archive: Monday, September 26, 2005 Ki: [[narrating]] And of course they won. Our team was best in its division. Several of our players were rumored to be Heisman hopefuls, including Sam. / Ki: [[narrating]] I joined some of the guys and their girlfriends for a party that night. I met Josh's girlfriend Nanese, who was just as sweet as he was. / Ki: [[narrating]] Josh said that Sam had been asking about me ever since we met in the library. With all the cheerleaders hanging off him, I didn't see why he'd show me any interest. / Ki: [[narrating]] But every now and then, I'd catch him glancing my way or flashing me that friendly smile. A few times, it seemed like we were the only ones in the room.

GPF Archive: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 Ki as narrator: For some reason, I still didn't quite believe Josh's insistence that Sam was interested. But I thought I'd give him a shot just in case. / Ki as narrator: I was just heading to the athletics building to find him when... / Ki: Sam? What are you doing in the CS dept.? / Sam: Uh, looking for you...? / Ki: Oh, REALLY. Why? / Sam: Well, uh, we didn't really get to talk much at the party, so I thought, maybe, if you're not TOO busy tomorrow night... / Ki: Funny. I was just on my way to go as YOU out... / Sam: I've never been asked out by a girl before, but I imagine YOU would have been a lot better at it.

GPF Archive: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 Fooker: What are YOU so happy for? Did you finally get your laptop up to a whopping 64MB of RAM? / Ki: Better. I've got a date tomorrow! / Geek 1: A CS geek on a date?! It's... it's unheard of! / Geek 3: She's female. Maybe it's different. / Geek 2: Is there enough data to determine a precedent? / Fooker: Quiet, you three! Who's the lucky guy, if you don't mind my asking? / Ki: I met him through a guy I've been tutoring. His name is Sam, and he's a running back on the football team... / Geek 1: Ack! A geek dating a jock! A FEMALE geek dating someone popular! / Geek 2: Our universe is collapsing! / Geek 3: Or maybe infinitely expanding... / Fooker: We have GOT to find a new lunch table...

GPF Archive: Thursday, September 29, 2005 Fooker: So you're really going out with this football player... Sam, was it? / Ki: It's just one date. It's not like I'm going to marry him. / Fooker: I'm just looking out for you, is all. You've been looking out for me with my drinking problem, so... well... / Ki: Now you're going all big brother on me. How sweet. / Ki: I can take care of myself, Fooker. It's not like I couldn't handle YOU when you were being a jerk. I'm a big girl, and I can fend for myself. And Sam seems to be quite the gentleman. / Fooker: Yeah, well, YOU clobbered my family jewels, but so did the jocks back in high school. I just want you to be careful is all... / Ki: [[winks]] No sweat. As long as he's not wearing a cup, I'm set.
http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050929.html
GPF Archive: Friday, September 30, 2005 Ki, narrating: And Sam _was_ a perfect gentleman. Our first date was exactly what I had hoped. He picked me up at the dorm, we caught a movie, and had a nice dinner. / Ki, narrating: The dinner was a bit fancier than I expected. I felt a little underdressed, but I didn't exactly pack evening gowns to go to college. Sam, though, didn't seem to care. / Ki, narrating: Afterward, we ended up walking along the river front, talking for several hours. I learned he was an only child, and that his father expected him to take over the family business one day. Sam, however, wanted to be a civil engineer. / Ki, narrating: You know I can be aggressive sometimes, but I _never_ kissed on the first date... except once...

GPF Archive: Saturday, October 1, 2005 Ki: I'm sorry... I... don't want you to feel awkward hearing this. / Nick: No, it's okay. It's not like I'm getting jealous or anything... / Ki: Really ? I'm talking about being romantic with another man before you... / Nick: And although I don't know all the details, I know ultimately how it ends. / Ki: You're SURE you're okay ? I can gloss over this part, really... / Nick: No, Ki. I'm fine. Honest. This is a part of who you are. I want to hear it. / Nick: Okay, fine. If it will make you feel better... Grrr. I want to tear this Sam guy limb from limb... Grrr... / Ki: Try it again less monotone and I'll move on...

GPF Archive: Sunday, October 2, 2005 [[Ki rests her head in Sam's chest on the campus quad]] / Ki narrating: Needless to say, that was far from our last date. Sam and I were virtually inseparable after that, and it wasn't long before we were going steady. / [[Ki and Sam are cuddling in a dim room; Ki is in shorts and a bra and Sam is in shorts]] / Ki narrating: There was one rough spot early on, where he was a little too eager to get more physical. After I warned him that I had certain standards set for myself, he backed off and respected my wishes. That didn't mean we didn't have our steamy moments, however. / [[Ki is walking with Fooker]] / Ki narrating: Fooker, true to his word, was always looking out for me. He'd ask how things were going. There's a slim chance he was a bit jealous, but he grew out of it quickly. / [[Ki introduces Fooker to Sam, who seems happy to see him at first]] / Ki narrating: I could see, though, that he and Sam weren't going to get along. Usually, they rarely crossed paths. But since I was close to both of them, I hoped they would get to be friends. / [[Fooker and Sam glare at each other over Ki's head. Ki is smiling obliviously]] / Ki narrating: It didn't happen. I'm fairly certain Sam was jealous of the time I spent with Fooker, and I don't know if Fooker just didn't trust Sam or what, but I could tell the friction was mutual. / [[Ki is smiling while Fooker and Sam bump shoulders and glare at each other]] / Ki narrating: Maybe optimism blinded me, or I was too in love to really notice, but I was in the middle of a powder keg, holding the lit fuse...

GPF Archive: Monday, October 3, 2005 Ki: [[narrating]] Weeks turned into months, months turned into a year, and Sam and I were still an item. Sure, I had had boyfriends in the past, but Sam was different. He was special. / Ki: [[narrating]] He constantly felt the need to buy me things. He even bought me a new computer when my old one died. But I insisted that it wasn't necessary. It wasn't expensive things that made me love him. / Ki: [[narrating]] One day he took me to a nearby park we would often visit (and more than once made out in a secluded glen). As we talked, he told me he had another present for me. / Ki: [[narrating]] I started to remind him that it wasn't baubles that I wanted, but he told me this was one time he wouldn't take no for an answer. / Sam: [[holds out engagement ring]] / Ki: [[narrating]] And no wasn't the answer he got.
http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051003.html
GPF Archive: Tuesday, October 4, 2005 Ki: [[narrating]] Of course, while I told Mom all about my boyfriends, Dad took very little interest. That changed, of course, the instant they heard of the engagement. We flew home on Thanksgiving so they could meet Sam. / Ki: [[narrating]] Mom was Mom. She was happy so long as I was happy. Sam seemed to sufficiently impress her (there was a comment about his muscles I'd rather not hear from my mother). That left Dad's approval. / Ki: [[narrating]] Dad, of course, was not as warm as Mom. He had hoped I would have found an Asian boy to settle down with, but with some gentle prodding from Mom, he seemed to accept Sam... Especially when he heard how much his dad made. / Ki: [[narrating]] Mind you, Dad was a bit more open-minded then. Before long, Sam was making contacts for Dad, and helped get him a managerial position at one of Sam's dad's nearby plants. I felt like part of a business transaction, but at least Dad was happy.

GPF Archive: Wednesday, October 5, 2005 Ki: [[narrating]] At Christmas, it was my turn to meet his parents. If you can remember the culture shock of meeting my dad, imagine applying it to his family. It was like another world. / Ki: [[narrating]] Sam's mother was polite, but had an air of superiority about her. I felt like Eliza Doolittle around her, like "common rabble". Sam would defend me to a point, but I could tell she held a good deal of sway over her son. / Ki: [[narrating]] His dad was... a puzzle. He was a self-made man, who obviously worked hard to be where he was. To that end, he had little problem with my more humble origins, but he was very traditional, and a strong woman was not someone he had a lot of experience with. / Ki: [[narrating]] The entire weekend was awkward. I felt that every time I left the room, hushed conversations began, and whispers died when I would enter. And Sam's friendly smile never appeared unless we were alone.

GPF Archive: Thursday, October 6, 2005 [[Ki is holding a snowball out to an upset Sam]] / Ki narrating: Going back to school felt odd after Christmas. Sam was a little more distant at first, but with a little coaxing, I got him back to his old self. / [[Ki holds a "Party" sheet of paper, while Sam, surprised, apparently refuses]] / Ki narrating: But I did notice some other subtle changes. He didn't open a door here, canceled a date for ball practice there... I didn't pay it much mind, but chalked it up to being comfortable with each other. / [[Ki looks concerned while others whisper in the background]] / Ki narrating: I noticed the way others acted around us changed as well. The cheerleaders would whisper when I was around, and the football players (except Josh) seemed a little too joking. Same would occasionally argue with them, but I didn't know about what. / [Fooker trips and drops his food. Sam and two others laugh while Ki appears annoyed.]]. / Ki narrating: There was one thing, though, that he could always agree with the players about, and I didn't like it one bit.

GPF Archive: Friday, October 7, 2005 [[Sam looks at Ki's back as she scowls with her arms crossed.]] / Sam: HEY, BABY! THE TEAM'S DRIVING OUT TO LAKE MURPHY FOR A PRE-GAME BASH! WANNA COME? / Ki: I DON'T THINK SO. / Sam: WHAT'S UP WITH YOU? / [[Ki angrily points at a smiling Sam.]] / Ki: I DON'T LIKE HOW YOU MAKE FUN OF FOOKER. / Sam: HEH. WITH A NAME LIKE THAT, HE'S ASKING FOR IT! / Ki: WILL YOU SHUT UP AND _LISTEN_? / [[Ki points at an abashed Sam.]] / Ki: FOOKER IS MY FRIEND. HE'S HELPED ME THROUGH TOUGH SPOTS, AND I'VE HELPED HIM. I HAD HOPED YOU TWO WOULD BECOME PALS. BUT IF NOT, I AT LEAST EXPECT YOU TO RESPECT HIM. IF ONLY FOR MY SAKE. / [[Ki scowls over her shoulder at an angry Sam.]] / Sam: OKAY, OKAY. THE GUY'S A TOTAL DORK. BUT I'LL LEAVE HIM ALONE. HE'S STILL A GEEK, THOUGH. / Ki: WELL, SO AM _I_. DON'T FORGET THAT.

GPF Archive: Saturday, October 8, 2005 [[Ki looks in a mirror with her hands holding her hair up as Sam rerads a newspaper.]] / Ki narrates the flashback: SAM STOPPED MAKING FUN OF FOOKER, AT LEAST IN FRONT OF ME. BUT THAT WASN'T THE ONLY THING WE STARTED PICKING FIGHTS OVER... / Ki: I think I want to cut my hair. / [[Ki continues to look in the mirror, looking to see how she looks with various hairstyles while Sam continues to read the paper.]] / Sam: BUT YOU KNOW I LIKE IT LONG LIKE THAT. / Ki: I KNOW. BUT IT TAKES SO LONG TO FIX. I'M GOING TO WEAR IT UP FOR THE WEDDING: A SHORT BOB WOULD BE EASIER. / [[Ki stops looking in the mirror and turns around to talk with Sam while he looks over his shoulder.]] / Sam: YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. / Ki: MAYBE I _DO_. I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE. IT WOULD BE EASIER TO MANAGE, AND IT WOULDN'T GET IN THE WAY WHEN WE SNUGGLE. / [[Ki and Sam look at each other over their shoulders while scowling.]] / Sam: WELL. _I_ DON'T WANT YOU TO CUT IT. / Ki: OKAY. SHEESH. IF IT MEANS _THAT_ MUCH TO YOU, I _WON'T_. / Ki as Narrator: GUESS WHAT I DID THE VERY NEXT DAY?

GPF Archive: Sunday, October 9, 2005 [[Ki narrates her history with Sam]] / Needless to say, Sam wasn't happy. Josh told me he spent a couple hours in the gym, working out his aggressions. I wasn't very sympathetic. It was just a HAIR CUT. / But then Josh opened up what Sam had confided in him and never told me. The pressure had been really intense for him lately. NFL scouts were watching his games, and an inside source hinted that he was a frontrunner for a Heisman. / He also said Sam's parents were really pressuring him to break up with me. I never learned if it was my social class, independence, or even ethnicity they disapproved of. / [[Flashback to a conversation between Josh and Ki]] / Josh: Then there's all the teasing he gets from the cheerleaders and the team. / Ki: Teasing? What sort of teasing? / Josh: Oh... um, well, you know. / Ki: Obviously, I don't. / Josh: Er, how you're... ya know... not giving him any...? / Ki: Is THAT why everyone's laughing and snickering behind my back? Because I haven't SLEPT with him? / Josh: D-Don't hurt the messenger!

GPF Archive: Monday, October 10, 2005 Ki: Many years ago--I'm sad to say, as early as Junior High--I watched friends and classmakes ruin relationships with sex, hopping in the sack without thinking things through. / Ki: I watched so many mistakes, from break-ups to pregnancies to diseases, that I determined to save myself until I found the right man for me, and I'd wait, ideally, for the commitment of marriage before taking the plunge. / [[Ki takes Nick's hand]] / Ki: It was such a relief to find out _you_ felt the same way I did. Sam was... a little less understanding. Eventually, he respected my choice, but I could tell he wasn't comfortable with it. / Nick: And now all his pals and buddies find out he's not getting any... / Ki: Combined with all the other pressures facing him, he was just a _little_ bit frustrated...

GPF Archive: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 [[Ki is in the cafeteria and approaches Nanese and two cheerleaders]] / Ki narrating: One day I decided to get some inside information... / Ki: Nanese! Wait up! / Nanese: Oh, hi Ki! I was on my way to the student union. Wanna come? / Ki: On one condition... / [[Nanese looks concerned]] / Ki: Is it true some of the cheerleaders are still gossiping about Sam and me? I can't believe they're making such a fuss over-- / Nanese: Oh. You... haven't heard? / [[Ki looks surprised]] / Ki: What are you talking about? / Nanese: Sweetie, they may be talking about Sam's sex life, but I don't think you're in it...

GPF Archive: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 [[Sandra walks by while Ki talks with two cheerleaders]] / Ki narrating: The scuttlebutt had Sandra, the cheer squad's resident matress with hair, "servicing" Sam to make up for my "short-comings." Sandra, of course, was conveniently nowhere to be found. / [[Josh sees Sam with Sandra]] / Ki narrating: Nanese didn't believe the rumor, but Josh said he saw Sam and Sandra flirting after the last night's game. Sandra flirted with everyone, though, and I'm not going to go ballistic over something as simple as that. / [[Ki approaches Sam]] / Ki narrating: I was very cautious when I broached the topic with Sam. I calmly made it clear I wasn't accusing. I just wanted the truth. And he swore to me he hadn't slept with her, and he seemed completely sincere. / [[Ki embraces Sam]] / Ki narrating: I wasn't sure I believed him. If it WAS a lie, it was a good one. But whether it was guilt or shock that I even thought he'd cheat on me, I could tell it hurt him, and I never wanted to hurt him again.

GPF Archive: Thursday, October 13, 2005 [[Fooker approaches Ki]] / Fooker: Hey, uh, Ki. I'm... sorry to hear about Sam... / Ki: We haven't broken up. I don't believe he cheated on me. / [[Fooker looks surprised and angry]] / Fooker: Whozzawha? It's all over the school, even the CS Department! / Ki: Look, Fooker, I asked him about it, and he said it wasn't true. I believe him. / [[Fooker looks angry]] / Fooker: What's _wrong_ with you? Are you _sure_ you're the same chick who crunched my boys? Sam treats you like dirt. He ignores you, he walks all over you, and when half the campus says he cheated on you, you _defend_ him! / [[Ki looks angry]] / Ki: You don't know him like I do! I see past the lies and see him as he really is! / Fooker: Sorry, Ki. But if anyone is blind here, it's not me...
http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051013.html
GPF Archive: Friday, October 14, 2005 Ki: Fooker was right, of course. There's something about love that blinds you to a person's faults. Sometimes to the point that you can't see the obvious. / Nick: Well, you're not the only one who tends to overlook glaring character flaws. / Ki: No, that's different. You always try to find the best in people, even when it's deeply buried. It's your gift and curse. / Ki: I only saw the man I fell in love with and was blinded to his changes that others saw. I could tell he was stressed. But I was so caught up in trying to buildhim up that I failed to see him tearing me down. / Ki: Near the end, I started to blame himself for his problems. I loved him, and I would do anything... ANYTHING to make things better.

GPF Archive: Saturday, October 15, 2005 [[Ki looks at herself in the mirror]] / Ki narrating: Sam meant everything to me. I loved him with all my heart. I would do anything for him, even die for him. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him as my husband. / [[Ki picks a dress]] / Ki narrating: I couldn't do anything to help with his sports, other than cheer like any other fan. And I could only hope to please his parents by being the best daughter-in-law as I could be. / [[Ki puts on an earring]] / Ki narrating: The rumors and teasing were cruel, and I couldn't do anything to stop them from spreading, but I COULD give him the one thing I held back from him, the one thing I wanted to keep until the right moment... / [[Ki approaches Sam and surprises him]] / Ki narrating: I convinced myself that the right moment was his moment of need...

In hindsight, I'd be rather annoyed by his lack of consideration for how hard this was for me, but I was far too nervous then to think of that. / [[Sam leans in to kiss Ki's neck]] / Ki narrating: I... did my best to throw myself into the moment and enjoy it, and there WAS a tingle of excitement about it. But there was still a part of my brain screaming in protest that nothing could silence. / [[Sam kisses Ki and carries her to the bed]] / Ki narrating: He... laid me on the bed and... started to undress me... everything began to become a blur... / [[Back to Ki telling her story to Nick]] / Nick: But... you didn't go through with it... did you... ? / [[Ki tears up]] / [[Ki start crying and hold her tears. Nick looks uncomfortable]]
