Hi Vic!
Lois saw Cindy begin to rise up on her tiptoes and her mouth dropped open when she realised that her baby cousin was about to kiss her best friend.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Clark took it on himself to tidy away.

Did Cindy kiss so badly that Clark had to block it from his mind?
He glanced to his side and saw Cindy gazing at him, her chin resting on her hand, itself resting on the coffee table.
Oh, you went back in time a bit. Duh!
She’d been making her interest known all evening and Clark had yet to figure out how to gently let her down.
Maybe ‘I’m sorry, but I’m into reporters’?
Shifting forward she came closer, so he shifted backwards.
“Clark?” she said as she tipped her head to the side. She stepped towards him. “I get the feeling you’re uncomfortable.”
Reminds me of Lois during PML. Say, how *did* they manage that one?
I think it’s time to be up front now.
Sounds like she’s trying to get her front up into his face.
We’ve had a fun evening. I’d like to do it again sometime.”
‘Have fun’? Later that night? In his bedroom?
“Don’t fight this. I think we could be good together.
Lois hasn’t killed him yet so he’s likely not a cad. Cindy wants something dependable for a change? Like a Volvo?
I’m attracted to you, and I know you’ve been watching me.”
Yeah, like the doe watches the lion stalking the herd.
Rather he was concerned over her behaviour.
CLAKR:
As he blinked in shock she tipped her head back and rose up on her toes.
“No!” A crash and a shout from the kitchen had both Clark and Cindy turning to look.
“I, uh ... I, uh ... dropped the popcorn,” she replied but Clark could see the deadly glare that Lois was giving her cousin.
CINDY:
“Sorry, Clark. Guess I got my wires crossed. From both of you.” She turned to look at her big cousin just standing in the kitchen area, then she left and shut the door behind her.
So, she won’t be attending the wedding as a bride’s maid?
LOIS: Well, she’s not a maiden, even if she’s presently unwed.
“Cindy made a pass at you and you dealt with it like some virgin schoolboy.”
CLARK: *squeak*
Also, does he need to…umm…spin into his Superman suit for the way home?
“If it wasn’t for the fact that she’s your cousin ... and you’ve been here all night ... and you just stopped her from kissing me I would swear you set me up again,” he challenged.
immediately bending down to start clearing the spilled popcorn from the floor.
Clark groaned in frustration at the sight.
Turning away from him, huh?
He lingered for another moment taking in the sight of the soft, grey material pulled tightly over her behind,
How did she even get me to agree to The Pact all those years ago?
Reasonably good looking. Not completely unreasonably inebriated. And pushy.
You can’t force her into anything; she’s Lois Lane.
No but he can trick her by dating other women in front of her.
And even if she wasn’t Lois Lane it would be unfair to make her stick to The Pact if she no longer wanted to.

#16 - A deal is a deal.
#17 - A contract is a contract is a contract ... but only between Ferengi.
LOIS: Fine. But we all know that females aren’t allowed to make deals or engage in contracts.
Another voice joined in. It was deeper, in his head, it was Superman’s. But you cannot afford to be selfish in that way. The world needs you. A hero is not meant to love.

“Yes, but how would my heart cope with a lukewarm reception every time I walked, or flew, in the door?”
Yeah, like she’d ever be lukewarm Either, she’d be all horny and happy that he’s back or she’d be mad that he’s stuck her with the kids, again.
He groaned and pinched his nose, adjusting his glasses. I can’t believe I’ve just argued with myself about this. And then changed my own mind, twice. What am I going to do?

Maybe he’s just having a bad hair day.
So, head looks like Ralphs?
Dog mistook him for a fire hydrant while he slept off last night’s cheap booze underneath one of the bridges that span Hobs Bay
Waistline like Bill Church?
BRIAN: Looky there! Jackpot!
“So, what Operas have you attended recently?” he asked.
Well…there’s Wrong Clark, which is kind of about soaps and stuff…
I guess it’s been over six months since I last went to the theatre.”
Well…that’s not a lie.
“So, have you ever seen the whole Cycle, or just the separate Operas?”
LOIS:
“Oh, sorry. Well, what are your current interests then?”
LOIS: Mel Gibson. And Ivory Tower reruns.
“Well, my career,” Lois answered quickly before remembering that she’d mentioned being a traditional woman, hoping it was more likely to be appealing.
LOIS: Yes. Career. I’m working on being the world’s foremost expert in managing a household for my husband and provider while raising his children.
“Oh!” He went quiet for a moment. “Lois Lane. Journalism. How come I didn’t put it together before?
Because he’s either not very smart or a crook. They usually haven’t heard of Lois Lane before she traps them by letting herself be tied up.
She smiled and left a confused, but possibly relieved, Brian finishing his scone.
Do they have ratings on the dating profile? Will Brian be giving her 2 stars and comment that she was good looking but a terrible date?
Maybe it’s like eavesdropping on someone’s conversation. What’s the moral code for listening to someone’s heart?
ICU nurses: It’s our job.
NIA truth specialist: What’s this ‘moral code’ thing?
Clark fought with his conscience over it then decided that it wasn’t as if he were actually stalking her.
Uh-huh?
Superman. That would have to be addressed if The Pact ever came to fruition. How will she take it?
His sneaking out at all times of the day, smelling strangely when he gets back and telling obvious fake stories about what he did while away?
“Routine! Kent! There is nothing routine about Superman saving people. He is a miracle. And every life he saves, every disaster he averts is a gift to us all.” Lois spoke passionately.
Really? Even 8 years down the line?
LOIS:

How do you get those articles, Clark?”
He’s sharing a bedroom with Superman?
Plus she would have had to confess that it had been a terrible failure.
Maybe even that she’d been wrong to specify an incorrect profile?
LOIS:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/c075.gif)
She carefully adjusted her responses, taking the time to think about each answer.
Oooooh! Now it will more closely match the woman she’s trying to find for Clark.
“Well, it got me thinking,” she continued in a false bright tone. “Even though your accusations were completely without any basis in truth and I am totally offended that you would think such things of me
“I signed you up to a dating website and you have a date for tonight.”
“You what!” he shouted as he stood up.
So, will Clark get her to give up the password? And will he modify the profile to actually match what he wants? And then they’ll have mail?
