Well, that was nothing if not different. I never would have thought of using a magic 8-ball! It is a most ingenious device, and the drama surrounding it was most entertaining. I laughed at Lois's train of thought when she asked the ball if Clark trusted her. And her reactions when she asked if Superman wore glasses in his disguise was priceless!

I can just see her looking towards Clark and either shielding her mouth or barely moving her lips to keep him from reading them as she asks, "Are you Superman?"

Very good story. Send more. Us FOLCs love this kind of sloppy, sentimental stuff. It's an excellent tonic at the end of a frustrating day.

In fact, you should write the conversation they're about to have, using the magic 8-ball. It should be most entertaining.
