Nan, Excellent part! Have I mentioned lately how I love the way you write? You have such a gift for story-telling. You just bring me right in and make me feel like I am there. I enjoyed seeing how comfortable Lois and Clark are feeling with each other. Clark's reflections on the difference between our Lois and his Lois were just, awww, so waffy and sweet. And then, that ending! Super! (I loved how Lois suspected something from the beginning, and then came in to save the day! You go, girl!) I can't wait to see how this story ends! - Vicki PS - the 'ginnup' sounded a lot like what we call a 'quenepa'. I did a search on internet, and sure enough, that is exactly what it is.

Well, I don't know how it's possible, but I hadn't realized before today that you were posting a story, Nan! Thank goodness for TOCs  I'm loving this, unsurprisingly enough  Clark's doing a very delicate job of telling the truth without spooking Lois, and Lois is as brilliant as ever. And since I've always loved reading science fiction, I like her defense of it  Anyway, I'm glad you've set it up so that L&C take turns saving each other. That gets them off to a healthy start, with none of that "you're so incredible, what do you want me for?" angst. Part 7, quick!  PJ

He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Love the way Lois and Clark are getting to know each other. Having them lost in pre-Columbus wilderness gives them time to get to know each other.
Glad they got onto the time machine before part 7. I was worried that we'd be left with an unconscious Clark and an invisible Tempus.
And is Tempus's end as ironic as I think it is?

Hi, Great part.  Hot summer season "Can you stand if I help you? I want to get out of here."
With her help, he made it first to his knees and then to his feet. Together, they stumbled past the figure of Tempus huddled in a ball on the ground, and Lois guided his wavering steps toward the time machine.
"Can you run this thing?" she asked, urgently.
He nodded shakily and she half-pushed him into one of the seats.
With trembling hands, he typed in the time and location. Lois grabbed the lever that protruded from the floorboard. With care, she pulled it slowly back, and reality dissolved around them.

Maria, I'm sure that all those things have different names in the different Latin American countries. I spent four years in the Panama Canal Zone when I was in high school and all those things were available there all year round. Of course, the fact that we were just barely north of the Equator probably had something to do with it.
To tell you the truth, the ginnups were my absolute favorite fruit while I was there, and I missed them more than I could have believed once I returned to the States.

Hi Nan, You probably find the ginnups ("quenepas") when the season start you can find them in does Latino market where they sell Latin American food. We always find a way to have our food.  MAF

How romantic, being lost on an tropical island with a man that can do anything (except, apparently, read science fiction and see invisible men!)
Go Lois!
Looking forward to 1997 and hoping that Tempus lives out his life in a Utopia of a different sort (after all, Clark did build him a cave to live in <g>!
