Definitely a beginning .... for a sequel!

You so cannot leave it there, even though it was a good open ending - however, I, for one (and I am sure there are others) would like to know what happens next, especially when Martha meets Lois and when Lois and Clark gets together, and ... you get the picture.

So, come back here wildguy

Delightful tale, well rounded.

So strikes the King of the Open Ending.

I think Terry likes to write open ended stories whether or not he ever plans to continue it. He always has that option.

This was a fun story. I enjoyed it, but that was expected.

On with the next one.

I think he writes open ended tales to try and convince himself or his muse to write more. Some times he does write more. Sometimes he doesn't.

Lucy stopped in mid-step and nearly fell. “Cake mix? You bought cake mix?”

Lois took the mail from her mouth and dropped it on the coffee table. “Sure. Why not?”

The bag thudded down on the kitchen counter. “Because you don’t cook, that’s why!”

“Hey! There are eggs in there! If they’re broken you’re going out for replacements!”

“Forget the eggs! Who are you and what have you done with the real Lois Lane?”

Okay, I'm not going to quote the rest of the Lois/Lucy interactions. Just pretend a rotflol every couple of lines.

Well, well, well, Lolo...

Loved the symmetry.

The others are right, Terry. There's a lot of open ending here. It doesn't need a sequel per-se. A lot of the stuff you're hinting at is already nicely laid out, but I'd still love to see the sequel spider

Wonderfully waffy story smile

Just finished reading the story and it was great. But please, please be working on a sequel. You just left too many threads hanging to not do a sequel. If you don't do a sequel just know that it is likely to cause me sleepless nights trying to decide what might happen next. Is it working. The guilt - trying to get a sequel. Pretty, pretty please.

This is your muse coming to bash you over the head with more great ideas for the continuation of the story. They will be delivered with such force you just have to continue. wildguy

Sequel? What is this "sequel" of which you speak?

Sorry, couldn't resist. (Actually, I could. I simply chose not to.)

To keep the pointy sticks away from the tender portions of my anatomy (and to prevent any more sleepless nights), I confess that I am working on an epilogue for this tale which - if it goes the way I think it will - should provide some closure for the gentle readers (those, I might point out, who have threatened to be less than gentle with me).

Of course, as befitting my new title (thanks, Tank), it might not tell everything. It all depends on whether or not my muses get interested in seeing how this tale continues.

It should be up by the weekend, unless I run into a huge roadblock or tornado.
