I know this one I really love this story! It's
There\'s Always Something by Xanabee! Go read it if you never have I highly recommend it!
"So, Lois, now that you're out of circulation, so to
speak, what's going to happen with Superman?"
Lois stared at her friend Elizabeth in surprise. "What
do you mean?"
"Well, you and Superman used to hang out, you told
me -- uh, something about romantic dinners and flights over
Metropolis--" Lizi gestured airily, "-- and now you've started
dating Clark. So where does that leave Superman?"
"OK, for starters, you've got *one* thing right: I've
just *started* dating Clark, which doesn't mean I'm necessarily
out of circulation. Yet. And as far as Superman goes, well,
we haven't really talked about it, but I think he knows about
Clark and me, and he has a lot of respect for Clark -- he hasn't
been hanging around trying to steal me back."
"Unlike that Scardetto person, who wouldn't take no
for an answer."
"His name was Scardino, Dan Scardino, and he was
very sweet..."
"Uh-huh, and he almost screwed things up for you
and Clark."
Lois smiled a little grimly -- she really didn't want to
talk about Dan Scardino. "You were talking about
Superman..?"
"Yes. I was. Um.. So, um, well.. Is he.. um.. you
know.."
"Is he..? What, Lizi? Spit it out -- I can't read your
mind!"
"Is he.. seeing.. somebody.. anybody.. these days?"
Lois' eyes had a dangerous twinkle as she swiveled
her head to look at her friend. "Why? Are you interested?
"Hel-lo? This is me, remember? Lizi 'Crazy-About-
Men' Lyons? Of course I'm interested! Why don't you fix me
up with him? Isn't that what married friends are for, to fix up
their single friends?"
"I'm *not* married -- I just started dating the guy,
remember?"
"Still, you got a man -- and what a man, if you don't
mind my saying so --"
Lois grinned, partially appeased.
" -- so get off your duff and help *me* get one, too!"
"And you want Superman."
"Hey, aim for the stars, right?"
Lois took a long sip of her Coke, considering. She
had always hated having her married friends trying to fix her
up, but maybe that was because the men they fixed her up with
were all such losers. /Well, obviously Superman is not a loser,
and neither is Lizi, and if she *wants* me to fix her up with
him.../
