Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Standup and Be Counted - 2/13

Well, now we know where the "Standup" in the title comes from. This is surely a different direction for our favorite fictional couple. And any routines they copy will be referenced on YouTube for your viewing pleasure and for comparison purposes. Feel free to laugh out loud, unless you're in a funeral home, of course. Wait, maybe--

Enjoy!

Oh, boy! I'm having a hard time picturing Lois and Clark as standup comics. I'm eager to see how this goes.

I really like that tidbit you threw in at the end where Clark says, "As you wish." It took me a second to realize that he was playing off of Lois calling him Farm Boy. It's a cute exchange, especially since she didn't want him to tell her how he feels.

I like that you had Clark install a bedroom door. It always bothered me that he didn't have an enclosed bedroom, and it makes for awkward scenes in a lot of stories.

I'm wondering how Clark will handle Superman, given that he will be spending all his time, day and night, with Lois. I didn't comment on Chapter 1, but I like his thought process at the end there about telling her. At the beginning of this chapter, when she stops him, I half-expected him to protest and say something like, "I wasn't actually going to tell you how I feel about you... it's something else important that I want you to know..." as a lead in to continuing his confession.

Ah, the divine Mrs. M. I have comments in response for your comments.

Spoiler alert: they get laughs.

Other FoLCs make occasional "Princess Bride" references. There's one coming up several chapters later, not long before the ending. And yeah, he's trying to allow her as much space as she thinks she needs.

I never liked the open plan either. And I needed a way to separate them at night.

Having Lois in the apartment will indeed cut into his Superman time. And there will be consequences resulting from that, although nobody gets hurt because of them.

As far as Clark's abbreviated confession is concerned, I didn't show his thought process but I thought his actions told us how he was thinking. "Lois doesn't want any more stress right now, and this would put a lot of stress on her. I'll wait for a better time."

A better time will present itself later. We'll see what happens then.

Next chapter up in moments!

Hi Terry! I did not see that one coming. Hmm...she must be thinking he was about to tell her that he's in love with her. Well...flat out confirming the hints about the recantation of the recantation.

See? That one!

So, when she drags his sorry chump in front of a judge and jury over that matter? Also, does that mean we can nix the shotgun proposal when she ends up pregnant?

You mean, like Clark wants her to love him and Superman at the same time?
LOIS: I can do that!

CLARK:
LOIS: See! I told you I can love two men at the same time!

See?

Makes perfect sense.
CLARK:
CAT: Don't listen to him, honey, he's a guy. Also, I did notice you never included not-using his body for comfort in that statement.
LOIS:

She's only referring to edible stuff, right?
RALPH: Most definitely. She's kicked me in my special place way more often than once!

And since they most likely never will, due to the distinct lack of edible substances, outside of chocolate, there's not much danger to his gentleman-ness.

Or she could work at the checkout at Costmart. I hear, they always looking for new employees. Funny enough, there is a high turnover when it comes to the young, female variety. At least one would assume. They're always hiring, never firing.

Yes, now think if she thinks to remember that particular incident. He might end up sleeping on the couch that night!

To be fair, there's not much difference to their normal undercover work. They go in, get the story, and get out. But there is no Daily-Planet Rough Riders platoon to help them out.

That one scene from Smallville comes to mind:

They could work as investigators for Intergang. Finding dirt on local officials and business men, maybe Clark could do a little muscle work on the side and I'm sure Lois could also make some extra money with the Intergang big wigs.

LOIS: He’s kicking me out!

See? She wants to get close and snuggly with him. He's got a big bed. They can share!

Yeah, but how’s *he* supposed to sleep then?

She's already moving in!

Because it still smells of Clark. And tomorrow, tomorrow Clark can sleep in a bed that smells of Lois.


/points at her reptilian brain/

/points at her/

He might be reciting Japanese poetry. In Latin. But he would still hold her all night.

Wonderful description! Also…
I'm sure the puddle of drool and his own sweat pants are speaking volumes, if she cared to notice.

Hey! No calling Mr. Mxyzptlk at 7 in the morning.

Sounds like he prefers the couch for sleeping.

Yep, the couch is calling his name.

“Astound me.”

See?

Yes, but it's still solid food in the morning. She'll have to do an exercise routine to burn all those calories. Now, what could she do in this apartment to burn them...Hmm...

Always living the wild life.

So, what’s the law on escort services in Metropolis?

I'm sure they have a Blue Oyster Bar in Suicide Slum somewhere.

See? I'm sure bachelorette parties would bring in good money for Clark.

Oh. Okay, there's goes *that* entire set of options. Hmm...what about telephone work? All she'd need was a soft voice and a dirty imagination.

So, assuming she’s doing tricks or somethin?

Huh, apparently not or Louie's really laid back about earning money.

See?

Got to wait till they're in the bit? Wonder if they'll slip in an I-me gag, too. The number of times you hear that misused in today's TV shows, it's atrocious.

So, well…the usual, I guess? Lot’s of fun to be had and all that
