Great story! This is my favorite part:
Quote
I hold my hand out to him. "Wanna fly with me?"

Clark doesn't say a word. He just stares at me.

"Come on, I promise I won't drop you. This is the coolest thing that's ever happened to me, and I want someone to share it with. Fly with me, Clark. Please?"

He reaches out and takes my hand. "All right."
This reminds me of the "Can You Read My Mind?" flying sequence in the first Superman movie, while Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder slipped the surly bonds of earth together. (Just a thought, but if Clark wanted Lois to love Clark instead of Superman, why would he take her flying?) So Lois taking Clark flying is not only a brilliant role reversal, it's so telling! Lois chooses to share her new-found joy with the one person she'd like to be closer to: Clark.

Not Superman. Besides, he already knows how it feels to fly.

Just a thought. If Clark tells Lois the secret while they're up in the air, will she drop him off on an abandoned South Seas island and fly away? She'd be mad enough to do it!
