Hey, Frame, are you thinking that this is at the White Orchid Ball? Right out in public, in front of the mayor and the governor and all the other assorted dignitaries? If so, that's a very intriguing mental picture. It would put Clark in the public eye almost before either of his careers get off the ground (so to speak).
And Lois would blow a gasket at both men. It would set her relationship with Clark back a year or two, and it probably would slow down Lex's attempts to romance her, too. And then you could build a relationship between Clark and Lex based on mutual dislike, mutual distrust, and mutual competition for Lois.
And the competition would send Lois into orbit! Wow, does this have possibilities!
