Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Wrong Clark TOC can be found Here

You all knew it was coming eventually, so here it is.

Ahhh, that’s where we are.

6’, dark hair, dreamy eyes?





Well…at least he had an idea in his mind for his Thomas-time.



Can’t he, I don’t know, take pot shots at the guys who invaded his house?


So, second date. And the third will be the corn festival in Smallville. That means they’ll make a superman out of Clark in his counterparts bedroom, yes?

Clark! What if Jimmy was trying to score with Lois’s younger sister?

Wonder Woman? Dark Blade? The Caped Crusader?



Whhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

What’s up with him now? He got a death wish?

Nature called and he missed it?

Great. The most-overprotective-pseudo-boyfriend-in-the-world™ has branched out.

Hey! When did she get knocked up?

What did Clark tell Lois about? Or is she just going by the last name? And *that’s* why they’re going to Smallville? Not because of the Environment stuff? Unless that’s the cover to Perry.



Well… Martha’s Clark’s second cousin, by adoption. Hey, it could be!

Or have an internet connection. Or a computer. I think they recently got electrical power in the townhall. Half the townies scampered off into their hovel when the mayor turned on the light. The rest started chanting and clasping their crucifixes.

Oh dear.

Blissfully unaware of the storm of bantha poodoo brewing back home.

That would have been a fun page-one for the Met Star

So, Clark Kent, what are you going to do next?
CK: Go to Disney Land!

Did he kiss her before or after?

Ah, yes. After. Let’s hope she goes and brushes her teeth first.



Michael

I like how Clark handled the date situation at the Kerths. Very classy.

It seems like things are coming to a head for Clark with Lois discovering the Kents. Can't wait to read about that.

Joan

Is it just me or should that be "one more time"?

I may have been harsh on Lois after the last two instalments, but it is not all her fault. Clark bears some of the blame. He could have been more patient during the annoucements of the Kerth Awards.

Well, at least she sees this.

So how long has it been since the Kerth Awards were announced, or are you just having us guess. If I followed things right, they were announced on a Monday, and maybe this is the following Friday/Saturday? Well, at least in reality sep. 26, 1993 was a Sunday, and the awards were announcement the next day, so that would be a Monday. I went to the trouble of counting back using this month's calendar to make sure that was right. If I understand later on this is Saturday night, so the 2nd of October. Clark could have asked her out for Friday night, maybe, if he thought they won't work too late, so this is a reasonable worry. Especially since even if he wanted to go slow he could have at least asked her out for sometime next weekend by now, at least some guys would do that.


It is amazing how quick to judge others Lois is, especially considering who this is. It is also slightly odd she does not recognize her faster, but I guess you do not plan to see people who don't quite belong there.

Is Jimmy that bad that he would pick up a new lady while on a date?

I have to agree this was the best idea Clark has had so far. I should have thought of that, but I didn't.

I though she wanted him there? Also, she knows that sub-letting dates does not work.

She might have gone with this plan if she knew they could pull it off. The fun thing is that Jimmy may well believe it is what really happened.

At first I thought this was a question to Clark, and he was being just obtuse. "How did you get here" could be "how did you get in". It is also possible that he came under whatever pseudonym he used to write under, not that he did, but Lois might think that is why he writes as well as he does without an established trail of publishing.

Half of me wonders if Superman provided Lucy a ride, but on rereadin it, I don't think so. At first I expected her to say something indicating she knew under her breath. Of course, it would seem strange for Clark to tell Lucy ever, and especially before Lois, but the thought did cross my mind.

Well, I am glad Lois is taking this so well. A little surprised, but only a very little. Jimmy's shock that his cousin thought Lois Lane was hot and not Cat probably makes such a shift in dates easier, but that was long ago enough that it is probably not a very big issue in Lois' mind, if it factors at all.

This is the best way to strat off, period.

I guess going against Lois' specific orders works. Of course, if he had been planning to treat her sister as his date, and if she had invited Jimmy out of more than spite, things would probably be very different.

I have to say Clark pulled this off in a way that worked. I did not expect that, but of course I had largely forgotten about Lucy and Jimmy dating.

Umm, Clark, I would not have advised saying this. I see danger in even implying there is a reason to forgive her.

Are we sure this is not a close? OK, I know it isn't. I still am a little shocked that Lois allowed that line at all though.

Careful Clark, you are now on thin ice.

I guess he really did buy Lucy a plane ticket. I guess bringing her Superman express would not really work, especially since he wants no connection with SM to LL. This is the one answer that worked. It also does not exactly answer the question, but some questions are not meant to be ansered. Clark is learning.

Oh, can we just end the story here? Everything is well with Lois and Clark, so why develop any more. OK, not everything is well. She does not know the truth. So I guess we can't end here. Still it is a nice place to stop, so I will end this FDK at this point. It was definantly a fun segment.

At first I wondered why you do not tell us more of the evening, but then I realized that anything more would probably be a let down. We do learn a little more from flashbacks, but some things the imagination does better than being told.

I think this story installment just tied a knot in the pretty bow you are trying to make. Lois is being all "Miss I Can Get Answers By Taking Charge Of This Situation" and she is about to blow everything and get Clark killed. I see storm clouds!

I know you have a plan about this story, and you are aiming at somewhere to end it, but for the life of me, I cannot see where this is going. That either makes a wonderful story, or a frustrating one. I'm still enjoying it even though it frustrates me not to understand where you are taking it. Then again, that sounds like Lois.

Pat

This is actually a really good point.

And he still has no clue where they are going.

I knew it.

Lois is very sneeky. How is Clark going to get out of this. He might just have to come clean. I am glad Martha called and finally forced Clark's hand.

Well, he needs to tell her something before she gets to Smallville. I was thinking he could take her as Superman. That would solve the no recognition problem on sight, but not the no one knowing Clark Kent.

He probably would be best off telling her that he is actually from Smallville in a different dimension. OK, I doubt she will believe that at first, but maybe if he waits until they get there, and gives in the indepth run down on the place, she will believe he knows it so well he must have grown up there, and she just might, possibly, maybe believe his story. Not likely even then, but it might possibly work.

On the other hand, does he have time to call and get Martha and other in on a conspiracy to give him a past? I doubt he would even if there was time.

Probably not as much as you think.

I doubt that's the reason, Lois.

Awww. Giving Lois a family connection she has not had in a long time is a good thing and giving Jimmy a friend (more than a friend?) to be with is an added bonus as well.

She did?

Sometimes going against Lois's edicts work out better than you expect I guess.

Oh dear, I see us nearing the top of a steep climb. Arms up! Arms up!!

Nope, never will. (Almost) never have.

Spreading the wealth around a little better, I suppose?

Lois: First thought... his parents are still alive in Smallville? Then why did they give him up to the foster system? Clark always talks of them fondly and supposedly they died in a car crash. Then again... that can't be. Clark wouldn't lie about something like that so that means they're not his parents. But how is that possible??

Clark: I didn't lie to you. I just told you something and you assumed these people were my parents. I didn't tell you that I came from a different universe.

Cat: (whispering) You're not helping yourself.

Quite probable. I don't think the newspaper around here had theirs online until 2000+ and we're only around 35,000 (probably larger than Smallville but not by much) and there's still local newspapers that don't even HAVE an online presence.

Think he knows where this is going? Are things going to get too close for comfort here, Clark?

Hi Virginia,

Lucy?

My look at all that FDK! <<fans self>> Looks like I've got some catching up to do. First up...

Michael:

No, the bathroom at Lex's apartment. Give her a little credit.

LOIS: Him, too.

If there wasn't, I'd be running for my life from Wildguys on parade.

It is Lois, after all.

PERRY: Now, that would just be petty, since everyone knows he should have been up on that stage with her.

LOIS: Everyone?

CLARK: :rolleyes:

R3: Did you hear about the Metropolis Star table?
R4: Yeah, Mad Dog looked over there and the table just blew up.
R3: Must be that time of the month.
R4: It hurts more if you were almost where you wanted to be, then WHAMO!

There will be a few episodes that will get shortened to one liners in this story. Smart Kids was one of them. Sorry, if you disapprove.

Still feels safer than without it.



This was terrific!

Perhaps.

Usually not.

Yes and no. Yes, they remember the rock. No, the rock they had in Another Lois was the one that Thomas just brought to them. Without a Superman, B39 had no reason to go searching for the Meteorite.

Thanks. I changed it to "us Irigs"

More on what happened later.



Too many of them? Might miss and hit dad?

CLARK: I'm already a Superman.

EW: And because Kal-El was never officially adopted by the Kents, he didn't have a bedroom of his own.

LOIS: He probably was.

CLARK: Lois didn't need to hear that on her big night. Anyway, THAT's not why I brought Lucy to town.

JIMMY: No?

CLARK & LOIS: No!

JIMMY & LUCY:

Okay, I've got to run. More later.

I just assumed he meant his Mom and Dad when he said "the Irigs". However, thinking about it, he would not have said it that way if that is what he meant.

On the whole my reaction to this section is still

I mean let's see

1- Lois is bringing Clark with her to Kansas. It would be worse for him if she went alone.

I am wondering if anyone will recognize Clark as Jerome. Well, I suspect Martha and Jonathan will, but will anyone else. Such as Thomas? My bet is no. Same reason that no one recognizes Clark as Superman. People see what they want to see. In the case of people like Jerome, or Charlie King, barman, people do not see them at all a lot of the time.

Michael: Part 2 FDK Response. Sorry about the delay but real life came knocking. I have about an hour before it calls again, so let's see what I can accomplished before then. <<stretches fingers and neck>>

No. No. No.

SUPERMAN: I don't know those people. I've heard of that third one, and that first one sounds intreguing. Do you have a picture?

LOIS:

SUPERMAN: Never mind.

You mean Superman did fly Lucy across the country for Lois. Lucy goes on date with Clark freeing Lois up for Superman?

CAT: It's the *only* way to fly. <checks item off list> Okay, darlin', there are just a few more things I need you to do.

CLARK: Hey, look! Isn't that guy married to that fameous model. I wonder what he's doing with that football player.

CAT: What? Where?

CLARK:

CAT: Celebrity scandle, every time. One of these days, I'm going to stop falling for it.

I'm going to leave that up to the individual Reader's interpretation.

CAT: Very nice, indeed.

Now, where's the fun in that.



I was thinking soy sauce on tie, but that works.

Little children only read the comics page, so 'no'. But she has gotten a few "You sent Mommy and her boyfriend to jail, you mean lady!" notes.

CLARK: Can it be an empty cargo train with no passengers, running on autopilot?

LEX: No. I refuse to hold that man's hand.

CLARK: Spoil sport.



JONATHAN: Say, what?

MARTHA: Nothing, dear. He's referring to a time before we met.

Actually, the Kents never gave the baby in the grave a middle name, but that works.

PERRY: Come on, Lois. There are other stories to write. Let the other reporters get a little time in your spotlight.

LOIS: No, it's mine, all mine. Precious.

CLARK: Thank you for THOSE nightmares.

Oh, dear, the computer didn't like that smilie.

RALPH: What? Who told him?



I needed Jimmy there to have her probe (no, not that way) about the message, and for some reason, I couldn't see her cleaning up this mess.

Wrong kind of dizzyness.

A little of both. Mostly the former, but a shiney story is always nice too.

Clark told her that he ended up in foster care after his folks died, which implies that there was no immediate family to take care of him. So, who were these Kents living in his hometown? Why didn't they take him in? Were his parents still alive? Did he have aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers, sisters, etc., that he never told her about?

That disappointment would be from reading Clark's phone messages. Not surprise, just disappointment.

It could. But it isn't.

Those towns usually are up in the mountains and not in the plains.

Michael: Page 3 FDK response...

Yep. What? That was longer than the 4-part FDK for "Fireworks"?

Thanks. I'm glad my bait and switch worked.

Possibly.

Thanks, Pat. I try my best.

Only one dead Clark per story, sorry.

Forward, for now.

Um... yeah, this is one of my longer stories. So, no, it's not ending yet, or anytime soon. But I promise you I won't go through all four years of the show. How is that for vague? Thanks for sticking with it and me.

John: Thanks for the multitude of FDK!

Wow, in the first line, too. That's bad. Would you believe me if I told you that I think my computer deletes words or parts of words when I copy the file from my draft to my prepping to post copy?

CLARK: Paitient? I told her congratulations and the threw it in my face that it was *her* story.

LOIS: I may speak without thinking sometimes, but I'm not BLIND. <<brow furrows>> Cat, why are you laughing?

He could have, technically, yes. But with them in the middle of a fight, he thought it best to wait and see if his attempt at a big gesture on Kerth night would be accepted and they could move past the fight. I'm assuming a week or two between announcements and awards.

It also explains why Lois doesn't see Clark when she looks at Superman.

LOIS: No, I guess not, because it's not a date-date, but still... ALL ATTENTION should be ON ME!

<Phew> I can still be unpredictable.

And not as much fun.

True patience is allowing her to brag about a story without reminding her she had any help. On the other hand, this Clark is not a very patient man. However, I actually do like where it did end. Hmm, maybe this is because I just dislike Lex that much, at least when Lois is giving him the time of day.

To us. Lois was not there when Perry told Lois, so she is not in the know. I guess I underestimated the distance to where Clark is.

Christina:

Yep, in part 15 when Lucy came to the office to make sure Clark wasn't planning on using her sister (quoted line above in Michael's FDK Response).

We know that Lois keeps claiming to "hate" surprises, but she respects anyone who can accomplish it. (Bringing Lucy to the Kerths and conning Lois to go to the Sew. Rec. Fac.)



True.

LOIS: It wasn't MY choice.

Pretty much, except I doubt she ever thought that M&J were Clark's parents being that Martha wouldn't leave a message from "Martha", but "Mom" wouldn't she?

LOIS: Lex gave me the name of a good psychologist by the name of Dr. Carlin. She should be able to help you with these strange beliefs that you're from another dimension, Clark.

Ours did only just recently as well.

Sydney: Another long FDK!

Hee-hee.

CAT: Well, actually, he never consulted me about his choice. It's not like I'm hurt that he didn't consider me... Okay, I am.

You're in luck. Lots of M&J coming up.

MARTHA: As a matter of fact, I'm thinking he might be willing to help us...



Originally this scene was to have Cat take the message and leave it on Clark's desk and only mention it off-hand after he dropped her off in Paris, sending him rushing back to find Lois had discovered the note. OR have Lois overhear Cat take the message. There was more than one reason I sent her out of town.

Superman Express. Private transportation?

I knew I meant to ask you something. French, clearly, isn't one of my languages. Did I totally mess it up how to name a street in French? COULD there be a Rue Loire? So, there isn't a street along the... . Ooops. That was supposed to be Rue Seine. I can't remember why I wrote "Loire"? Oh, right, probably confused the Loire Valley (very beautiful wine region) with the Seine River. It's been a while since I was in France. <<double blush>>

Yes, the river in Paris is the Seine. And there is a street in Paris (a very nice street) whose name is "Rue de Seine". It's not along the river, but it's not very far.

Merci!

Well, fear not, kind Reader. Lois shall not give Lex a thought for the next 10 parts or so. (that I can recall off the top of my head).

Quote

To us. Lois was not there when Perry told Lois, so she is not in the know.

Clark tells her off-page. I didn't think it necessary to repeat the information for the Reader.

Quote

I guess I underestimated the distance to where Clark is.

Terrible sorry... Let's see...

Okay, maybe not ACROSS the room, but not at the table where Lois and Lucy were standing and Jimmy was sitting.

Thank you

Yeah, but if he hits the tall guy in the middle, the others might disperse in a wild panic.



I’m guessing Amazonia’s out, too, then? Huh, why’s Dark Blade looking at me that way…? Ummm… Also, what’s Paul Lacroix doing with…huh…is that Charlotte Tennyson again?

In remaining the only alive Kryptonian on this planet?

Diana knows about a loophole. It includes both her and Lois being naked on a beach.

LOIS: Now that he’s pacified, let’s see…

Bonobos – little primates that use sex as their favorite means of communications, conflict resolution, and greeting.

/points at Clark/

Just some ideas…



She’s already got some in her purse.

Michael

Um... Ooops?

R1 and R2 were sitting at the Met Star table (Preston bought a table and a few Kerth judges to get his reporters nominated). Then sudden explosion. R3 & R4 were sitting at a nearby table.

CLARK: But... But... But... That *other* Clark MARRIED his Lois.



</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Why do I think Perry wouldn't approve?

LOIS: That isn't a loophole. That's torture.

CLARK: Potato / Tomato.

LOIS: I think I'll test that theory by taking up naked yoga in the evenings.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

/Clark points at Lois/

CLARK: Nice outfit. Nice, but I think taken. Nice, but has over-protective vindictive boyfriend/toy. This last one looks familiar but I just can't place her name. Nope. I'll stick to being obsessed with Lois. Thank you.

LOIS: <sets down box with green rock inside> Good choice.

If not her purse, then definately in her briefcase.

Awwwww. Did Michael want another FDK badge? But you already have more than all the other ERs combined?

Yeah, I just can’t figure out that line.
Well, I do have *one* idea, but that’s not really appropriate

Aaaand? He also married Zara, and nothing happened there either. And the clone. Well, he got the first base with her. But she was a bit of a slut.

I know. What do you call a 10part section? You know, like ‘decade’?

Nutjobs with guns. Great.

Michael

Jokes just aren't as funny when you dissect them, but here it goes:

R4: Her! I'll take her! Although, younger me might not like it much.

Well, it could be *my* fault. The posting parts in this arc tend to be longer than in other parts of the story. Terribly sorry. I tend to try to limit them 15-20 pages double spaced, and there are, I believe, at least 2 parts that went over my top page limit. <<hangs head in shame>> I just can't stop myself. <<checks into OverWriters annoymous>>

I know. But they’re also like a traffic accident that keeps on happening

Oh. Duh! Michael

Only works if someone still enjoys them?

LEX: Keep them cars piling up! And LexMotors will have its best month ever.

Now, there's a scary thought. Cat with super powers.

LOIS: Scary bad!

Only the girls, because goregous naivity with super pms probably isn't a good look.

Maybe DC should have named the daughter in her summer ficathon Bikini story "Lark" (part Lois, part Clark.)

LOIS: She your daughter. You deal with her.

CLARK: Yes, honey. Whatever you say. Beautiful, stubborn, fierce as a tiger, strong as me, and thick as a wooden door. Yep, my daughter.

/Hands Michael his shiny subtle evilness badge/

LOIS: <sheepishly> And?

CLARK: But... but... but... I said I didn't want Zara!

I think we had enough photos.

CLARK:

LOIS:

LOIS: What does he mean "Young Lois"? What am I aged cheese?

CLARK: Honey, I like cheese. I've even joined the club.

LOIS: WHAT did you say?

CLARK: A rescue? Isn't that someone asking for help? I better go write up that story! <runs off>

At least I acknowledge my problem, that's part of the cure, isn't it? BTW, I saw Lois at Chocoholics Annoymous tonight. She says to say 'hello'. Oopps. So much for annoymous.

{Quote]I think we had enough photos.

CLARK: <shakes his head with a smile>

LOIS: <waves rolling pin type weapon>[/Quote]

Clark: But honey, I was just wanting more pictures of Lois.

Lois: Put that is a different Lois, so it does not count.

Michael

Michael: Plot bunny? Um... not for me, my inbox is currently overflowing. Feel free to run with it or share it with others.

Oh, dear. I knew we shouldn't have made it shiny.

LOIS: Exactly.

CLARK: Oh, so you were reading between the lines.

LOIS: What line? You said the words!

CLARK: Oh. Hey, is that the fudge castle?

LOIS: Where?

CLARK: I always did like the American flag.
CLARK: I'll just have to wait until we can get EW away from her computer to watch enough episodes to come to that image, because the website would not let us see it. Maybe I can get Herb to...

LOIS: What are you talking about?

CLARK: Hi, honey. <quickly switches off computer> Nothing.

CLARK: And those weren't *my* LFI collection. I was holding on to them for Jimmy.

LOIS: Uh-huh.

And the age difference changes to 5 years since he's from the future.

Oh, that's just bad.

CLARK: *That* wasn't me! It was the other Clark, I swear.

Precious. My precious.
You know, on a different note, I just had another plotbunny. What if Lois accepts Clark’s proposal that way, you know, clasping the ring and grinning and whispering ‘precious, my precious’?

Michael

LUCY: <Tosses him the magazine> Be my guest.

LOIS: Clark, aren't C.J. *your* initials?

CLARK: Yes, but... it wasn't me! I didn't write that article. Trust me.

LOIS: Why?

CAT:

CAT: Hmmmm. He might be getting too old for me.

Michael

EW: Actually, I was hiding for fear of retaliation for saying something so horrible about Lois's feet, having totally forgotten Clark's foot fetish from GEM. Apparently, my family wants to know what I look like after getting a dose of vitamin D that doesn't come from a computer monitor? I don't understand that concept either. Will post 51 early, but 52 might be late on Monday.

Eeeeeehhh… Sorry, Lois. I think he really doesn’t know what goes where.

Make up your mind, Lois, either you want them untouched or you want them experienced. Anyway, maybe Mom and Dad died too early to talk about the birds and the bees?

LOIS: You mean this novel by Grant Cather? Nah.

LOIS: NO! That's not true. People READ my stuff and breeze through the rest of the trash!

Oh, dear. I since a vacation from a computer in Michael's future. Perhaps I am posting too often for his sanity.

How about like Kinder Surprise Eggs? Chocolate and Toy.



She’s adorable, isn’t she?

/starts shivering/

/waves hand in so-so gesture/ If you need to take a buffer-slow-down, there will be griping and whining, but one will manage. /eyes stack of todo-items like summer ficathon and fall ficathon. Umm…/

Michael

LOIS: Sounds good to me! You don't mean chocolate and a surprise, do you? That works too.

CLARK: I think so.

LOIS: Clark, kissing my butt still won't get me to forgive you for lying.

Oh, I see, he's addicted like me. I'd say good, but probably 5 out of 5 doctors wouldn't agree with me.

I'm trying to catch up but RL keeps slowing me down. I'm just finishing up Part 61 and just posted part 53, so that makes my buffer at...7-8 at the moment, which is, well, stress-inducing horrible. In my opinion. If it drops down any further, which I hope it won't, I may have to post irregularly whenever I send a new part to Beta, leaving not less than a five-part buffer (any less than that would be bad, in case changes need to be made to the story. Like I just had to re-write the end of part 60, because I had forgotten I'd already covered something in an earlier part. ) If I get on a roll, I can pop out a new part in 2 days.

Needless to say, and I'm speaking for everyone else on the boards, we'd love a new Michael story. <- that's supposed to represent "nudging".

Yeah. Those. The one’s that are illegal in the US.

ARI: I agree.
MAX: Me, too.
GRETCHEN: /raises hand/
Doc FRISKIN: You guys are all nuts.

Like Lois and Clark, when they actually get busy.

Michael

Virginia, You could just revise you parts so they are shorter and thus gi e yourself a larger buffer.

Michael:

Illegal chocolates?

LEX: They sound logical to me, except for the last one.

No, LnC getting busy scenes sometimes take more than two days. For some reason, I keep getting distracted.

The other problem it might pose is that might mess up my neat and tidy spaced cliffies. Right now, I have like three (or is it four?) in a row coming up but if I cut the parts in half, it might double that.

What do you think?

I'm really OK either way. Part of me says it would be fun to have parts post more often, but if they are shorter I am not sure it will really be better.

Great chin-scratch-smilie. Didn’t notice that one before Michael

I've reposted your idea on Part 54's thread to see what others think. Apparently, my readers have more of a RL than I do.

I was looking for "the Thinker" but stumbled across that one. Just when I've think I've spotted all the good ones...

Well, I do hope to be finished posting Wrong Clark before the end of 2013. I was hoping before the end of 2012 but that doesn't seem likely now.

Oh, right, them. For some reason I thought you were talking about adult toys. Silly me.

LOIS: What's that?

They both take 9 months?

Oh dear. You *do* realize you’ve just added hope for another year’s worth of parts to this story, right?

Michael

Lois:We decided to create a false cover so you didn't get your hopes up, if Superman was busy with some emergency and couldn't bring Lucy.
Clark:Right. Exactly what she said.


Is that because she would tell Lois, or because Lucy would be enraged at his lunkheadedness?

Lois did think about Lex in part 53, so we did not have a lex reprive as long as promised. Still, it was way, way less thinking about Lex than Clark, even if we only look at those positive things she thought of Clark in that part, which are not many, so I really can't complain.

As it is, I think this part had no mention of Lex.

Don't forget that there will be a Book 3 after this one.

Sorry, guys, I've already promised Tank that there will be no...<<cough>> babies (other than the Kal-el one) in this Book. (My consession for forcing 2 Jimmys down his throat. ) It's in my WHAM warning.

Yep, Jimmy would have bought that.

Because she would have told Lois, or accidently let it slip, because she thought that Lois already knew.

I cannot comment on Part 53 here, due to possible spoilers.

/runs sentence through google translate/ Huh *two* more years worth of reading time on this epic series!

Michael

Does this mean there is hope for babies in Book 3?

No Comment.

In the second sentence, since it is what Lois "just knew", I think it should be "thankful to, she would break down", no need for a modifier.

On another note, even without cutting the parts in half this story is looking to be well on the way to getting to 200 parts.

Okay, thanks. Fixed (well, in the Archive version).

The parts haven't been "cut in half". I've steadied them out at roughly 18 double spaced pages. About that ballpark number... I never meant for it to be that long. I never wanted it to be longer than Missing Lois (109 Parts). /Sigh/ Never say 'never', huh? It's the tucking in all those other ideas I probably would have put into other stories which made it so long. As you may have noticed, being 'concise' has never been my strong suit. It's a trait I envy in others. Back to writing Part 153...
