Michael: 
Welcome to my Ficathon short.
Huh. What’s Lois doing in Florida?
Hiding out from Mom?
Well, doctors’ conferences are usually at tropical resorts.
I wouldn't know. My dad always left us at home.
He’d better. Did he also include the Epcot Center and MGM studios?
Well, I don't know when MGM studios opened (double checked 1989), but Epcot opened in 1982 and I don't remember if they had park-hopper tickets by 1984, or if they were considered the same park. When I went (years ago) I don't remember there being park-hopping, but I was young and not prone to noticing such details.
Does odd cry/laugh combo.
Lois's family dinamics always leaves one with that dicotamy.
Oh. So no grown-up boys on the radar. Unless you count Goofy.
Did his nose give it away?
He might be homespun, but he's not stupid.
Right. I’ll believe it when I see it.
Keep your eyes open. /and, no, she doesn't jump like Lana does/
Now she’s calling herself a kid, too? Hmm… She’s just one class behind Clark, isn’t she? Or is the senior trip after the senior year? Oops. So, she’s the nerdy sophomore crushing on the senior. Oops.
She's heading into senior year, he just graduated. She's calling herself a kid because Lana did, and she's feeling like that must be how he's thinking of her too.
Oh dear. Maybe Lana could misstep on the air port and cause the engine to malfunction?
Not recommended.
So, she broke up and now she’s back with him?
Nope. Never broke up with him.
He’s in 12B while Lana’s in 12A?
He's in the farmer class, and she's in the Daddy's rich class.
Yeah. They’ve adopted it when the majority of the town was bought up by a New Deli startup.
He could go to jail for that. I believe they call it statutory rape even when they’re almost the same age but he’s already had his eighteenth birthday.
Not if they're only hanging out.
Sounds like she’s having a nice trip after all.
It's improving.
Either that or he’s afraid of intimacy with a stranger. Nah…
He or she?
Nah, he’s just too scared of it.
He'll outgrow that phobia eventually.
Awwww look who’s suddenly only sixteen instead of almost seventeen. /hugs baby-face Lois/
When you're a teenager, your age is all dependant on context.
Yes. Since he’s a certified virgin.
One who's turned down a Blonde.
Suddenly not so tough anymore?
Not hiding in terror.
That wasn’t in the plan, was it?
Her plan, not his.
Oops? Also, on the second read, *that’s* what she meant earlier, right?
Idealist at 16.
You know me. I need some more short story writing classes from Lynn. My stories tend to be: 1 part, 3 parts, 20 parts, or MORE.
