Vegeta doesn't really understand these strange human customs.

Looks like they let down their disguises. Heat of the moment, I suppose.

Will was a little slow to take the hint, but he knows very well what they are plotting about and is for it. This isn't a joke, a lie or an elaborate plot, it's a guy who wants to date a girl.

it is a little elaborate; and it's definitely a plot.

Looking at the comic again, I realized something. I know Tom's gone over it before, but just now, seeing how many bowling balls there actually are, the amount of emptiness is a little creepy.

Janet and Renard are conspiring in another corner They have the goat pupils (horizontal) But...their pupils are vertical, not horizontal. ?_? Will was a little slow to take the hint, but he knows very well what they are plotting about and is for it. This isn't a joke, a lie or an elaborate plot, it's a guy who wants to date a girl. I don't see that? I mean, nothing that confirms it one way or another at any rate. Just a guy who needs to talk to someone else alone for some reason and is nervous about it. He could be wanting to ask her out. He could be wanting to ask if she'd pretend to be his gal in order to hide suspicion about Janet. We don't know, and there's nothing really in his posture or acting that says anything clearly. |

Wild guess:
William said he needed to talk to Annie and spend some time with her. Everyone jumped to conclusions.
The reality is that he's recently had some etheric abilities start to awaken, he's confused, he wants to understand what's going on, maybe he wants training. And Annie and Rey are the only ones he knows at all well who calmly display blatantly etheric abilities in front of the other kids.

I think the general idea is that people didn't know and when they revealed the truth they did so in such an over-the-top way that nobody believed them and went back to thinking they weren't dating. Some folks on the forum disagree with this, but eh, that's how the comic implied it. |

Something tells me this is going to end in tears... Or Annie's gonna be all, "but aren't you and Janet a thing?" And he'll be like "YES! SOMEONE ACTUALLY BELIEVES WE'RE DATING THANK GOD" Then they'll walk back to the lane, all friendly and laughing, and everyone will assume from then on that Annie and Winsbury are going out. |

I'm supremely confused about what's going on, yet I sense a shipping disaster inbound.

I somehow think this actually makes sense in a Tom-esque way. Edit: Junior member! Yay! |

I wonder, did they met that nice chap(?) from Cardiff? Seriously, there appears to be a conspiracy afoot, of which Will is only partially aware. Well, now he is aware... Janet and Renard are conspiring in another corner Being not in on and not 100% on board with The Plan, respectively... Possibly. But I suspect they're fuming separately. I expect it to be the other way around. Also, let's not forget - Renard knows about Janet and William. |

How does Renard know about William and Janet? I'm sure Renard can smell them on each other, or has in the past. But I like warrl 's hypothesis that William has concerns of an etheric nature to discuss with Annie, and having to learn with/tutor someone else in using the ether would possibly help Annie in her efforts this chapter to "get it together." I definitely wouldn't put it past Tom to drop the whole dating thing in there as a red herring. |

I'm more interested in what happened between Will and Janet than what Annie is going to say. They were like the bread and butter. But maybe they are an example of first love and how feelings can change over time. In some ways them breaking up makes sense, they were just young kids with no clue what they were doing. It was fun and new and I think they enjoyed sneaking around and having this big secret romance. But I think that would get tiring after a while.
On the Annie side of things, I have trouble seeing her in a relationship. We've seen her have crushes, but she has never really shown an interest in being romantic with someone. It doesn't seem to even occur to her. I'm quite curious if she might be asexual.

Can we please not label her "something" just because she doesn't behave the way you have decided certain people act? |

Can we please not label her "something" just because she doesn't behave the way you have decided certain people act?(emphasis mine) Calm down, sir. Considering that we've watched Annie for about three years during the time when people first explore their sexuality, and she hasn't shown too much interest even as everyone else is paired up, it's a reasonable question whether she is asexual. It's been suggested for a long time, actually, and though @korba's link suggests it's not Tom's intent, it's an understandable inference from what we've seen in the comic. People aren't "labeling", they're just curious whether she fits into a real-life group that superficially shares similar traits. |

It's nice to see characters that relate to you in some way. I've never seen it come up in mainstream media and trying to explain asexuality to a person that's sexual can sometimes feels like banging your head against a wall. Also, asexuals can have thoughts or feelings about a person but lack the interest or desire to act on it in a physical way. ☺ |

Can we please not label [Annie] "something" just because she doesn't behave the way you have decided certain people act? I don't see how I raised that objection of yours -- although I suspect my post has just inadvertently wandered into the line of fire here -- since I haven't labeled her anything, nor decided how certain people act (in fact, I think I have never assembled a post with fewer words). The first link gives light to a visible anthesis of Annie's desire for someone's intimacy, which was not meant to prove or disprove anything but the statement that she had never shown "an interest in being romantic with someone" (to quote). The other link points to the rich resource of Tom's long-past answers to probing readers, which curious newcomers to the forums might not know about, but will certainly want to. |

It doesn't seem to even occur to her. I'm quite curious if she might be asexual. Annie is still young enough - aside from being part fire elemental - that her current sexual and romantic inclinations (or lack thereof) are not necessarily indicative of anything at all, and failure to express them is even less significant. Also, sexual and romantic inclinations are not the same thing, and may not run in exactly the same direction or be of the same strength. Then add being part fire elemental into the mix. All we know for sure is that by the time she was in her late teens, or maybe early twenties, Surma's romantic inclinations included heteroromantic. |
