Aww, Annie, I love the first two stories, I love that you're posting this one now, and I love this first part in general. I love how couple-ish they're acting at the beginning, and I love Clark's decision to tell her about himself the way he did. The thing I do not love is the fact that you're only posting every other day <g>. However, I'm going to take a deep breath and be strong.  Great first section, and I can't wait for more!

That really was a cruel place to end this segment. Bring more! More! I really loved it- although if I knew this was a sequal to PtW I would have referred there first  . *impatiently* What happens next? Julie

Clark: No.
Lois: Oh come on, Clark, why do we go through this? We both know I’m going to go.
Clark: Then why do you ask?

LOL, flattered as I am, the reason I can't post until midnight has nothing to do with me holding out. I'm at work where I have access to the internet, but not access to my harddrive where the story is stored. I might be able to post a little earlier than midnight, depending on what time I get home from work, etc. But I definitely can't post now.
Thanks to everyone for the wonderful feedback. I'll reply in detail tonight when I get home from work.
Thanks!
Annie

I'm glad you finished so soon. I was surprised when I saw it on the board because I wasn't expecting it until later this year. Great job on the first part and I can't wait until I read the rest of the story.

WELL.... LOL, flattered as I am, the reason I can't post until midnight has nothing to do with me holding out. I'm at work where I have access to the internet, but not access to my harddrive where the story is stored. Me thinks you should start taking advice from Clark and back things up on disk so you can TAKE THEM WITH YOU TO WORK heh heh heh but alas, i am not the boss of you (if i were, you'd have this story posted yesterday and in ONE piece...maybe if i harass KATHY, she'll BR it faster....hmmmmmmm) can't wait, mor1980 PS-watch me fall asleep before you post...lol

LOL! Okay, okay. I'm here. (and flattered <G>) Thanks so much, everyone, for all the wonderful feedback. I'm so glad y'all like it so far. Thanks to everyone who commented on the "I'm not a NASA experiment, Lois. I'm Kryptonian." line. It's one of my favorite lines from this story, and I'm glad other people liked it too. I'm so glad everyone seemed to like Clark's rationale for not telling her the truth as Superman. That's something I felt really strongly about in this case. I always prefer the revelation to come from Clark, but especially in cases where he and Lois are already dating. Did Lois really understand from this that Clark is Superman or that there are other Kryptonians on the Earth? and I confess that I found Lois' cluelessness a bit forced. C'mon, Lois: he's telling you his parents found him in a capsule, and you still don't make the connection? Although if your Lois never envisioned a secret id for Superman, the idea might never enter her head, I suppose. So I guess I should forgive her. First, as you'll see very quickly in the next section, it doesn't take Lois long at all to put the pieces together. To me, her offering alternatives besides Clark being Superman is logical for two reasons. First, she's in denial. I think that Lois has really known the truth for a long time, but just didn't want to put the pieces together. Second, like everyone else at this point, Lois assumes that Superman only came to Earth about a year ago. She's not thinking about Superman coming to Earth as a baby. the robe line was a great touch. Thanks, Paul. That was one of those lines that wrote itself. She was standing in front of the open window and I was like, "I bet she's cold. She should get a robe." And, bam, I realized the implications. But now it's not "playing", it's real thing, right? Ah, nope. <G> This time they're "playing for keeps" meaning it's no longer a just a game. Okay, there are a million more things I want to comment on, but I have a feeling that you'd all rather I shut up and post part two. What happens now??!! Does she get mad?! Does she cry?! Does she kick him out?! Let's see, shall we? Thanks again! Annie
