Ronald & Kimberly
Act I
Scene III
By: Conversefire
"Ah Nana, have you seen my daughter Kimberly?" asked Lady Possible as she came downstairs into the entrance hall.
"Do not fret, I will find her, Kimberly!! God forbid where is this girl?" said Nana her hands now on her hips.
Upstairs, in her bathtub, lay Kimberly. She had sunk to the bottom of the tub; the water was rather cold as she lay there on the bottom, her eyes open.
"Kimberly!!" yelled Nana once more.
Kimberly resurfaced from the bottom of the tub just in time to her name being called from downstairs. She quickly got out of the tub, and dried off her auburn colored hair that came down a little bit below her shoulders. She was very beautiful for a girl of seventeen years of age. She had big emerald green eyes, and fair skin, what was quite soft to the touch. Kimberly was like a goddess, either that or an angel that fell from heaven. She ran to her closet and put on what ever she could find to cover her body.
Lady Possible and Nana were at the bottom of the stairs in conversation when Kimberly came down the stairs.
"Yes, um…who calls?" said Kimberly at the foot of the stairs, with a smile perched on her face.
Nana who also had a big smile across her face walked up to Kimberly and said "Your mother."
"I am here mother, what is your will?" asked Kimberly
"This is the matter…um Nana could you give us leave awhile, this be a private conversation." said Lady Possible to Nana. Nana turned on her heels and began to stroll off before Lady Possible spoke once more, " Nana please come back, I have remember'd me, thou's hear our counsel. Nana thou knowest my daughter is of a pretty age." began Lady Possible.
"Faith I can tell her age unto an hour!" said the nurse beaming.
"She is not eighteen," said Kimberly's mother flatly.
"Ah I remember feeding Kimberly as a child, oh such a beautiful little one. And look how she has grown into a most wonderful young lady." Started Nana as she began to go on and on about how she had raised Kimberly as a baby. You might think that with taking care of the young girl so much you would mistake Nana for Kimberly's mother. "I can only imagine how it will be when Kimberly has a man to be with. Oh how the first night was for me when I spent it alone with my husband, God rest his soul. Oh Kimberly just don't get ahead of yourself the first night, you might fall off the bed." laughed Nana.
As much as Lady Possible loved having Nana around, she didn't like listening to her talking about how it would be for her daughter Kimberly to have a man to sleep with. Nana would usually go on and on when ever she was brushing Kimberly's hair how exciting it would be when Kimberly was old enough to have a man of her own; how great the night would be to spend with him alone.
"Nana enough of this, please hold the peace." said Lady Possible rather quickly before Nana had a chance to get on the subject of being with a man alone for the first time and how it would be for Kimberly.
'Ay madam, yet I cannot choose but to laugh, ah Kimberly thou wilt fall backwards when thou com'st of age." said Nana laughing through her teeth.
"I pray thee, Nana, say I" smiled Kimberly.
" I am at peace now child, ah you were the prettiest baby I ever nurs'd; I might live to see you married dear Kimberly." said Nana looking but at Kimberly and smiling.
"Ah marry, that is why I have called you here, dear Kimberly, how do you feel about being married now?" asked Lady Possible looking at her daughter.
"It is a honor….that I do not want for the time being." said Kimberly not meeting here mother's eyes.
Well, think of marriage now: younger than you, here in Middleton, ladies of esteem, are made already mothers: by my count I was your mother much upon these years that you are now a maid. Thus, then, in brief;--the valiant Eric seeks you for his love." said Lady Possible looking over at her daughter.
Nana's eyes grew wide with excitement. " A man young lady! Oh lady such a man is he!" she said.
"Well young lady? Can you like of Eric's love?" asked her mother an eyebrow raised as she stared at her daughter.
Kimberly thought for a moment, then looked up at her mother and said, "I'll look to like, if looking liking move: but no more deep will I endart mine eye, than your consent gives strength to make it fly." She said giving her mother a fake smile.
All of a sudden Jim cam in through the kitchen, over to Lady Possible," Madam, the guest have started to arrive, and supper is served up. Will you please follow me?" he asked as he led the way out of the entrance hall with Lady Possible right behind him.
"Kimberly...the county stays." Said Lady Possible, and with that she was off towards the dinning room.
"Go, girl seek happy nights, to happy days." Smiled Nana as Kim went back up to her bedroom to finish getting ready for the party.
End Of Chapter…
I know that these past two chapters have been rather short but the scenes from the script range from long to short so I am making them as long as I can. Don't worry after chapter four you will have a long chapter five to read. We have finally meet Kimberly. I know that some readers are having trouble reading the story. So here is what went on in the chapter, basically this scene is about Lady Possible asking Kimberly what she thinks of marring Eric. Kimberly tells her mother she doesn't want to marry him, but goes along with it. Chapter four will be up soon. Please read & review.
Thank-You
