The Story can be found here. If you haven't yet had a chance, yet, check out Clark's POV “While I Slept” .

Thanks again to my wonderful Beta readers IolantheAlias and Mrs. Luthor.

Comments always welcome.

this is lovely. And Lois is just the queen of missed opportunities, isn't she.

katie123: Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Well, she takes advantage of that rare opportunity given to her in "While I Slept" - Clark's POV.

Very fun! I enjoyed how you integrated Griffin trying to shove her in the blender and Lois saying 'We don't serve blended drinks here!' with Clark/Superman coming to save her in the dream. It was a very realistic-sounding dream (realistic *as* a dream, that is!).

I really liked that you ended with the revelation (the look on Lois's face must have been priceless ). Although, having read 'While You Slept,' I just have to say it's amazing that Lois didn't immediately wake him up to make him explain.

I'm sure glad he actually told her this time, though…

Ultra Lucille: I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was afraid it got buried because the title is so similar to Clark's POV.
That's what I was going for. I did have an earlier draft, which the dream had Lois working in a diner with Clark ordering breakfast, but when I rewatched the Prankster episode I saw that she specifically says that she worked in cocktail bar, I had to change it. I wanted the dream to be realistic enough but odd enough that Lois wouldn't fully know if she was awake or dreaming when she hears Clark talking in his sleep.

I liked this story a lot. The dream was actually more normal than I ever imagined it would be with how Lois described it.

John: Thanks, John. I'm glad you liked it.
Sometimes dreams are normal with just strange elements to it. Like looking down and finding you're wearing different clothes or that time has sped way up. Or some crazy man is trying to stick your head into a blender, which it obviously won't fit into. I've always felt that dreams are your subconscious's way of trying to figure things out, hence why it understands that Clark can cross the room and flatten both Griffin and the blender in a second flat.

I remember that song.

Oh yes, talking in your sleep can lead to trouble! Poor Clark!

Morgana: I find music an oddly inspiring muse. I often think what Lois and Clark could be thinking at certain times and how the characters would react to hearing certain songs, or if a fic come from the plot of a song. This one jumped out at me and begged to be written.
I liked the song, but I remember finding the video quite unbelievable even back in the 80's.

Good thing it was Lois, instead of Perry and Jimmy while they were off on some fishing trip then.

With benefits?

Awwww, he’s auraing her Michael

Darth Michael: Wow! A comment out of the blue. Thanks, Michael.
LOIS:

CLARK: What? No, I swear I haven't... *whating* her?

LOIS: Come on, Michael. It almost makes it sound like if I show him my bra he'd be mine. He has more depth than that.
CLARK: I do? I mean, I do.

You mean like 'you forgot your pants'?

CLARK: How professional are you?
LEX: Don't even try it. She's too rich for your money.
LOIS: Guess what, Clark. I'm the third richest person in the world and now own a global corporation called LexCorp.
LEX: See, too rich.
CLARK: Lois! What did you do?
/I really shouldn't write FDK after watching That 70s Show reruns, because suddenly Lois sounds like Jackie in my head, and Clark like Hyde./
LOIS: /after convincing EW that we couldn't leave ER with the wrong impression/ Nothing.
LEX: And that was just for a kiss.
CLARK: Ewww. You kissed him? For money? Lois!
LOIS: I'm donating it all to the Superman Foundation.
LEX: Nooooooooooooooooo!
/Yeah, definitely no more That 70s Show before answering FDK, because now Lex sounds like Fez/

CLARK: /scoffing/ it's not like I landed here from Krypton yesterday... not that I'm from Krypton or anyplace that isn't Kansas.

What is this? A Tank story?

CLARK: Ooops.



Now there's only my other Prankster rewrite. Hmmmm. What was it called again? Uninvited Visitor . But maybe you should wait awhile until this one fades. You need not worry, though, I only wrote these two...er... three. I'm still stuck on my other two stories. My UW rewrite and that one with Alt-Clark... What was that called again? Right. Wrong Clark. Thanks for popping by.

Shouldn't that be IR (Innocent Reader)?

Shouldn't that be IR (Innocent Reader)?

Well, since Michael gave me the nickname Evil Writer (which I share with the others in the Evil Writer's Club... namely Deadly Chakram, who like me, likes to torture our characters on a regular basis), I returned the favor and gave him the nickname of Evil Reader, since he always seems to find the dark side of everything I write in his comments. /It's amazing how I hardly ever use the word *hard* anymore to describe anything... especially anything which could also be described as difficult./

So, are you an IR, Kismatt?

Sometimes, one has time to read new stuff!

Exposing her to his aura. Making her feel all warm and fuzzy and floaty.



Yes. Those.

The sequel to Missing Lois?

Michael

Eric? ERIC? Oh, come on, man. Don't make me, Eric. I mean, I act like a geek and my clothes are a bit big, but under this business suit, I'm all...
LOIS:

ooops?

Oops? Should have been 666 Park Avenue . The building’s owner then made Lex pay up his contract.



What? The guy who got the hot girl and didn’t cheat on her?

The lady with the cuckoo characters? Michael

What? Lex doesn't live on "Lex Ave." or "Luthor Dr."? What is Metropolis coming to?

Okay, you've got a point. I could have said Fez. The cute but weird guy from some far off land, who loves candy and spending time with himself until he patiently gets the girl at the end (or so I've heard, I've still got 30 episodes left).

Well, that's better than the crazy lady who's characters talk to her.

No, no, Lois. You never 'age'. You're immortal. The story on the other hand...

Hmmm. Sounds like you have some recommendations for the L&C FanFiction Reader\'s Club . After this month's dark suggestions, we're in desperate need of something light, fluffy, and hopefully with tons of HOPE... and not written by me to kick off the new year.

Probably. SM passed the information on to the NIA. You don't want THEIR powers.

LOIS: /ticks off item on list/

Michael

It would, wouldn't it? But the only sequel ideas I could come up with were 'what happened to Lois between Disney World and Clark being hired at DP' which would be a quite involved story. You know, only of my mid-length, 20+ Parts ones. So, until I come up with something shorter that I can whip out in a few days, it'll be on the back burner. Sometimes, the fun though is in the not-knowing and guessing.

Or their struggle in becoming partners? And hunting Lex down? Lois being Clark’s fiancée when she meets Lex could be quite fun, no?

What’s that? A fortune cookie?
