Many thanks to my super wonderful Betas, Mrs. Luthor and IolantheAlias, who reassured me that this story, despite its overzealous use of double entendres, was still Gfic. The sequel, posting in a few days, not so much. (Although, if I ever get bored with nothing to do , maybe I’ll tone it down for this board. ) I'd also like to thank Mrs. Mosley for coming up with the Summer Ficathon prompt that inspired this story: Water Fight.

Sorry that this was late, and not exactly set in summer, but what a way to lead into the Fall ... or the first day of school for some of us?

Anyway, comments?

EDIT: Okay, I caved and cleaned up Clark's POV. You can find it here: Same Day, Another View (Nfic version available over on the dark side under the name of "Trade Secret".)

Another Day / Same Day, Another View (Gfic) - Combined TOC

Virginia,

Wonderful story.

And a very nice reveal!

Fighting in the rain!

Wonderful reveal, Virginia.

Lovely.

Is he trying to give away his secret identity? Shouldn't he pretend the heat bothers him.

When in the DP, do as the editor.

He really does seem to want to give his identity away.

Now what sort of thing can Clark come up with to cool her off that will help him.

He is trying to think of how to use this as an excuse to get closer to her.


Did he just ask if she wants someone to share the shower with her?

Is there anything that Lois can't get Clark to do?

Now Superman will do that for sure, no other possibility.

Is he going to try to keep her to her word as he seems to have interpreted it.

That is to say, she knows he is thinking of an actual shower in her bathroom, and she has not said anything to disuade him from this view.


Well, she is sort of right. Now if only he was her to take her up on the matter.

What other type of kissing is there. Would this be a non-kiss like on Trask's plane, oh wait, that kiss was plenty real.

Wait, how does this make Kent lucky? Would he have not been more lucky if all those people had not been there, and Lois had shown him physicially how she really felt about him?


Someone should tell him Lois prefers wet Clark.

He was thinking the promised shower would be indoors, no?

Don't believe him Lois. Its not like he brought a snowstorm.

Does she know who he is?

He thinks so.



If they are going to have a joint shower, it might as well not be in formal clothing.

Now where is the fun of that. Clark should realize you are supposed to help people out of their wet clothes.

See, she knows he is missing a perfect opportunity.

Very cute!

Super cute!! I loved this story... and am hoping for a little more perhaps? Even though it does say one of one at the top... Loved the flirty banter of all this! Clark asking if she wanted company in the shower I almost died! Great story, Virgina! And I don't mind one bit that it was late considering that at least we still got it!

Ken: Thanks. I always thought that the bright blue suit under a white shirt was just asking for trouble.

Sydney: Thanks. A new twist on old theme. I was tempted by the idea of water guns, but this called out to me instead.

SJH: Thank you.

Laura: Thanks.

MouseRocks: There is more. There's Clark POV. But I'd have to clean it up to post it on this side of the boards. You all know what a dirty mind that man has.

CLARK: I do?

LOIS: I almost died! </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Glad to have entertained and that you survived. Maybe I'll clean up Clark's thoughts and add it to this story before sending it off to the archive.

CLARK: <<shakes head>> I still can't believe you think I have dirty thoughts.

CAT: I knew it!

LOIS: What's she doing over here? Is she in this story?

CAT: Just popped in to give my 2 cents.

CLARK: <<exhales in relief>>

John: Wow! Me!

Yes, very possibly. Or he's just there to tease her for making such a rash promise, knowing she'd never see it through.

CLARK: She didn't ask for a snowstorm.

LOIS: He's Clark Kent from Smallville, KS, my friend and partner.

CLARK: Nope. No idea.

LOIS:

CLARK:

She's being persuaded to see him differently. Oh, shucky darn.

Whew! Finally getting a minute to sit down and read. (Otherwise known as shirking off other responsiblities.)


Uh-oh. Is Lex already playing with his nuclear reactor?

Um, yes. Yes, you are. Oooh, *that* hot.

Oooh!



Yay! What a delightful tale, Virginia! Loved every steamy moment of it!

Ooooooooooooooooh! Can't wait!!!!

Deadly Chakram: You have uninterrupted minutes to read? What's that like? Sometimes I feel like I'm reading (or writing) on sentance at a time. Thanks for the FDK.

According to MoSB, he played with it all fall long, bouncing up the heat whenever Superman had a rescue.

</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I did mention this was a fluff piece, right?

Lois isn't one for walking over hot coals, no.

There are all different kinds of heat.

LOIS: Well, he *was* wet, and he did almost get shot.

DC? <<snaps fingers>> oh, dear. Lost another one.



Yep, there's a lot of double spacing going on in this dialogue.

Well, he *did* just dare her, didn't he?

LOIS: Thanks. Clark's a violin and I'm a violinist.

Hmmmm. I'm thinking DC needs time with her hubby.

He's really good about wearing overcoats those few times it rains on the series.

Thanks. Well, when you add rain to the middle of a heat wave, steam is always possible.

Okay, I caved and cleaned up Clark's POV. You can find it here: Same Day, Another View (Nfic version available over on the dark side under the name of "Trade Secret".)

No problem. And it was a wonderful thing. I haven't been able to read as much as I want because everytime I sit down at the computer, my muse screams at me until I do some writing.

Right. That's what I thought.



Make that *master* violinist.

I admit nothing!

That's true.

Wahoo! I'll have to check it out during the day when I have some functioning brain power.

Also, thanks for playing along with the fall ficathon challenge!

Hmmm. I was going to suggest that if your muse was being a nuisance that a few other writers have mentioned that their's have gone on an extended holiday, but as your muse is a screamer, it's probably best if you keep her.

LOIS: I'm also a master pianist. And sing too. A virtuoso!

DC's Hubby: Drat! And I thought I saw an opening between Vicki and her muse there for a moment.

Functioning brain power? Wow! You have all these awesome skills, DC!

LOIS: Challenge? Did someone issue a challenge? I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOO there! I'm so going to wipe the floor with the rest of you! Bwaahahahahahah!!!

EW: Lots of fun, DC! I'm thinking there's a reason the board is called "FanFic Challenge", because the LnC Board Divas?... Administrators?... Gurus?... knew that our inner Loises wouldn't be able to stay away.

LOIS: Are you saying that people tag the word "challenge" onto stuff just to get me do stuff?

PERRY, ELLEN, SAM:

CLARK:

Well, she did take a couple of weeks off. I'm just happy she's home again.



<joins Clark in attempting to look innocent>

It's always worrysome when one's muse goes on vacation. You sit by the door and pine for her, wondering if she'll meet another writer out on her journeys.

Glad to hear your muse is a multitasker.

So, this is the one where one has to be weary to not cross over, huh?
/nods/

Heatwave?

CLARK: The shirt and suit aren’t too bad. It’s the spandex undies that are uncomfortable.

How about stripping down to her bra and panties and using a wet towel to cool off?

No. He did?

/nods/

Mess with Lois. Mess with Mother Nature. Mess with Lois. Mess with Mother Nature.

I don’t think we actually have a scales smilie.

Oooooh!

And no, I did not even think about the word ‘rain shower’. Why should I? Lois mentioned taking a cold shower. Which would imply nakedness. Why would anyone think ‘rain shower’ in that context?

Ribbit. Ribbit.

You’re a tease, Lois. That’s naughty.

So, drenched?

Oh dear. Did Clark get the one with the Space Rat stuff inside?



I’ll bet. White shirt. Blue suit.

And now he knows.

/nods/





Also, you had me completely oblivious to the *other* implications revealed in Clark’s side of the story. So much for Lois always being aware of her state of apparel.

Michael

Michael: She knew that her shirt was wet, probably a bit see through, but didn't realize how much.

Now she tells me. :rolleyes: Also, was referring D.E. in this part.

/asks Cat/ huh, looks like she’s already wearing a European style bikini. While lying in front of the picture window.

Yeah, but who’s the devil and who’s the angel?

Actually, rain shower in German has no shower in it so it’s not *that* ingrained. Plus, shower was much more fun an idea.

I assumed it really was condensed water from the AC.

What, you think she might try to kill me?

Fine, so long as there’s sticking involved.

I actually rethought this. Sleeveless blouse that ties around the neck. Only figured, bra might not work and also hot around the neck maybe? Michael

THAT's what makes it PG13.

Well, it was hot.

You need one with two devils you mean?

Sorry, I believe my German dictionary still in a box. If my memory serves me correct, it rains all different kinds of ways in Deutschland, not just the one way.

So did Lois.

You want her to try, don't you?

LOIS: Hello? People, I'm not (usually) a hired assassin.

You'll have to read on to find out.

LOIS: Nope, I'm definitely wearing a bra... at this point and time.

That site seems like a dangerous place to get lost in.

Poor fellow. Maybe he can change her mind.

BTW: Your guess on KB count for ML was closest without going over. You win the jar of jelly beans! (virtual jar, virtual jelly beans, sorry)
