I never thought I'd be able to post this so quickly. Thanks to my BR's who really did a terrific job and returned this chapter asap. Thanks - you are the best!  I hope the FoLCs who've been reading this story still remember how Part 24 ended: with Mindy Church's arrest in a mountain cabin where Superman made his debut as an actor. And boy - was he convincing or not!  Anyway, now that the story is coming to a close I suspected that I'd find some loose ends that needed to be fixed. So I went back and reread the whole thing (oh horror! it's grown into a complete book!)  I was confident I'd be able to tie up those loose ends in one, final chapter, but lo and behold, there were more ends to be tied than I'd expected to find! So there's another chapter coming your way... soon!  I hope you'll enjoy this part and will let me know what you think. Thanks! Your feedback is eagerly awaited!  Ursie

Hi, Great part.  They seem more happy in Metropolis. Before they’d returned to their own home, mother and son had made their peace, but not before Clark had added, “Don’t you dare say something mean like that to Lois, Mom – not ever!”
Martha had winked at Lois before having the last say, “With Lois we’ll nip it in the bud, honey, we won’t let her flounder like that.” I can't imagen Clark saying something like that to his mother. Lois smiled as she recalled the frantic email messages she’d received from her sister, the day after Lucy and Lucas had left Metropolis after their surprise visit.
<Sis! You won’t believe what Lucas did. He asked me to marry him!>
< Lucy, that’s great! You did say yes, didn’t you?>
< Of course not!>
<What do you mean, of course not? You love Lucas, you told me so.>
<Everything was going so well, Lois. Why did he have to spoil it by bringing up marriage?>
< Don’t tell me you’re still not sure - not after two years of living together with him! Get another zip code if you don’t want a future with the man, Lucy.>
<Lois, I can’t get married. I know nothing about being a wife!>
<Hello! Earth to Lucy Lane! Here’s a newsflash for you – you’ve been a ‘wife’ for the last two years – or haven’t you noticed? Lucas sure has!>

One more part and all will live happily forever... until the next story  Incredible, who could have told Lucy in the pilot that her sister would be trying to convince her to get married :rolleyes: Post the last part soon, Ursie

Ursula I'm glad to see you posting again. An excellent part! Once again you did a great job bringing all the details together. I love Dr. Klein's idea about the green rocks. Hope it works! And Lucy, LOL! Finally she's going to marry Lucas. All your characterizations are great. I love Henderson. I'm looking forward to reading the next part. Tricia

Hmmm... Maria says this is not something Clark would say: but not before Clark had added, “Don't you dare say something mean like that to Lois, Mom – not ever!” Maybe you're right, MAF, so how about if I'd put it like this: "I hope you'll never say something mean like that to Lois, Mom!" Cast your vote!  Ursie

Hi Xanabee, Maybe you're right, MAF, so how about if I'd put it like this: "I hope you'll never say something mean like that to Lois, Mom!" I like it better. Its sound more like mother and son teasing each other. Specially knowing Martha. MAF
