This idea popped into my head yesterday and wouldn't let me work on anything else until it was completed. Please let me know if you enjoyed it.

Blind Date TOC

That was sweet. Didn't see that twist coming. much happiness.

Very fluffy, very pretty, very nice. I really enjoyed it.

So, when can we expect the followup on their first anniversary?

Oh, yes! You have to write the sequel! I loved it...so romantic!

When I saw it in the e-mail about the new story I immediately assumed it was the story you won the Beta'ing from Wendy. It seemed the right type of story and around the correct time frame as to when you would get done. Anyway, as you would probably expect, I loved it and I STILL have the story you will work with Wendy on to look forward to... The ending twist was perfect and the Lois thought process was just about perfect (How big the headline would determine if she truly loved him).

I am torn because as with groobie I would really like a nice sequel but on the other hand leaving it with us to determine how it works out is nice also. At least this Lois does not fear intimacy like the canon Lois did, she went to the love word pretty quickly and easily here.


Mike

D'awwwww!

I enjoyed it immensely. Wish if there was a part two

Thank you all for the wonderful comments.

DebbieG, groobie, and Seme: Thank you for your interest. I have some thoughts regarding a sequel or a series of shorts, but right now I'm trying not to be distracted from my Wrong Clark monster epic. It might be several months before I can come back to this one, or if I can ever get it to work out the way I picture this universe in my head.

Mike: Yes, my infamous UW story. That one currently falls into my "if I can ever get it to work" pile. I've got the first two parts completed, but I can't get the ending right, so it will be a while before it will be posted. I do have coming up my Auction Story I wrote for KatherineKent (which she has read and approved of), which hopefully I'll post before the end of the month. Is it already the 11th? My, how time flies.

I'm glad you loved it, Mike. One of these days I'll have to write a story with no twist as a twist just to blow your mind away.

Do you mean when she leaned forward and suggested that she had already fallen in love with him? Even if that were true, and I'm not saying it isn't, she was just baiting him to get him to tell her what she wanted to know. Part of the reason she didn't leave when he told her he was a reporter was that he had challenged her to stay and make it work. Same at the end. Is Lois attracted to him? Yes. Does she want another date? Yes. Is she in love? She wouldn't admit it to herself, let alone him, if she was. Is part of the reason she's so interested because he's made her curious? Most definitely. She loves challenges and mysteries, and he's offered himself up as both.

Thank you all again for reading my story and for your kind comments begging for more.

I, too, enjoyed this story immensely. And I'd totally love to read about what has happened to Dan and Mayson. Or how everybody tells the people who set up the blind dates how things went wrong, ah, right, I mean, kind of wrong yet right. Right?

Lara Joelle Kent: Thank you for your comments.

Always good to hear.

Right. So, Lois and Clark may not care what happened to Mayson and Dan, but you do? Well, I had a couple of different possibilities for back stories on the mix up.

A) Lois was late. Clark was on time. So, what if Dan was on time and Mayson was early? They meet up and while they're talking in another part of the bar, Clark and Lois arrive and leave without being spotted by their true dates.

B) There was a mix-up regarding the name of the bar. A "Central Park" vs. "Central Perk" (from Friends) type thing. Both Dan and Clark are new to Metropolis and they arrive at the wrong locale. But I couldn't come up with a good mix up bar name, so I left what happened to Mayson and Dan vague.

I hope you don't mind.

What did the setter-uppers think? Lucy and Clark's lawyer friend are both just happy that they found someone they like. Isn't that the most important thing about a blind date?

Thank you for reading.

I really enjoyed reading the story. The name mixup was a bonus.

You really threw me when Clark called her Mayson. I thought it was one of those bait-and-switch stories where at the end you find out that the character isn't who you think it is, and I was about to go back through the story and figure out how I could have missed that. I love how it ended, though. I wonder how long it took Mayson and Dan to figure out that they weren't each other's intended dates and whether they hit it off regardless?

This was definitely a fun read.

Shallowford: and mrsMxyzptlk: Thank you for your comments. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, I worked hard at having only "she" when it was Clark's POV and only "he" when it was Lois's POV, and not have them say each other's names the whole evening long. In the first draft, I mentioned Mayson's and Dan's names in the opening scenes, but then decided it would be more fun to have it be a surprise.

I believe it is popular fandon to have Mayson and Dan set up together (had she only survived). I know I've used it.

Thank you for reading and commenting.

Oooooh! I know this one! Is it the one where Dr. Lite blinded Lois instead of Superman?

Also…where do you take to time from

Hey, it could have been worse. She could be wearing a Superman pin.

He looks good enough to score on the first date?

And he set his good buddy up with one of the nice reporter ladies who are after his alter ego?
BATMAN: I’m the alter ego. She was after *Bruce*!

Held for destruction of property?

REFUGEE: No slave labor. We get food we don’t have to catch ourselves. No whippings so the guards can place bets on which one of us dies first.

So, not Linda then?
LOIS:
Hmm…Mayson?
LOIS:

LOIS: I don’t date. It’s an archaic concept invented to make women feel they need a man to have succeeded. : Do you need help with that bomb, Ms. Lane?

DIANA PRINCE:

LOIS:

Did he wait too long? Did Lois decide she doesn’t want a quick tumble in the hay after all?

No. Way. It really *is* Lois!
.
.
.


Well, an annoyed Lois is like Cat-nip to a Clark.

LOIS: What?

Awwwww…

Huh? Wait. *Two* dates with red carnations?

By following him and planting bugs in his apartment, like any normal person would do?
LEX: The ER thinks I’m normal

Hmm… so, it really was Lois who was set up with Clark?

And yet, Lucy hadn’t managed Mel Gibson.

Good thing they didn’t mention the job-speficics.

Huh. She thinks it had been Clark’s idea? Different setup after all? Or just a miscommunication?

?

Huh. Her original date already left?

But why come clean in the end?

Plus, he’d look good naked?

ELLEN: That’s what I always say!

Hmm…I think he’d punctually enough and Lois managed to stand up her original date.
LEX: I’ll never take matchmaking again from my attorney. He’s so fried (sic).

What if they got mugged?
CLARK: How likely would it be that we get mugged…?
LOIS:

Maybe some string tied to his foot?

They say it’s the best paper in town.
LOIS: Good bye, jerk!
CLARK:



One month later…
LOIS: Perry, I have had to up to here with my boyfriend getting there first. You either hire Clark or I move to Gotham!

Maybe if he put out first?

Did he just offer to recompense her for her time during an amorous outing?

So, she’s fine with the offer or compensation but averse to reporters?

And Lois Lane always does (sic) a challenge.

LOIS: *check*. *check*. *check*.

He likes to live precariously, doesn’t he?

HOODLUM: Yo! Your purses. And the watches. Hmm…And I’ll take the dame for a spin, too.

BATMAN: That’s a nasty rumor the Joker spread about me.



LOIS: So…he lost his boyhood to a highschool sweetheart, probably the local dairy queen or somesort and been a player ever since.

No, he ordered Chinese to make sure they held on the mystery meat.

Still doesn’t help him understanding the fairer sex, though.

She…she…likes to have a little Clark handy for when she has needs?

Because she second-screened him during their first date?

Oops?

A *politician*? Next he’ll believe an armed robber that he’s just doing a charity collection at the bank foyer.

POLITICAN: I didn’t know taking money and doing what the money-giver asked for was illegal! Honestly.

Traditional ones with locusts inside?

Naïve but hiding something?

Did he just call her two degrees of hot?

Brazen.

So…cold sweat then?

That’s our Lois. Always ready to bite off more than she can chew.
CLAKR: I’m pretty tough, so…



Oh boy.

LOIS: So…a quick tumble in the hay?

The first one buys the rest?

Maybe if she stopped dating Ralph or politicians?
LEX:

Is he asking her if she’s promiscuous? If her number would fill a supermarket?

‘are’



Well…California is said to be the porn-capital of the world, so…

I’m not sure about that chain of evidence holding up.

Not a lie.

Because if he told her, she wouldn’t eat it?

Yes, but would Fugu kill Superman?



CLARK’s cookie: Put diamond with flaw on ring.



Yes?

No.

He’s a male?

Just one. In a church. Followed by a group dinner and dance event.

I think she’d be mad if he told her on their first anniverasy.

CLAUDE: Liar liar panties on fire!

She’s good, isn’t she?



Huh.



You know, had they turned in for a nightcap, this could have been awkward, with Clark whispering ‘Mayson, oh Mayson!’ the whole time.


CLARK: No, that would be me.

See? Also, once he has a job in Metropolis, does that by default also make him the best investigative journalist in Metropolis?

Well…it’s safe to assume Mayson came early and Dan found her sitting there.



Nah, they’d have met. Press conferences. Superman interviews. His dating Mayson might be a tad awkward, though. At least, till the bomb.

She’s a fast one!

Down boy. Not on your first date.

Wouldn’t that be awkward if she slept with him and then published his secret?

Michael

Loved the story, Virginia!

It was such a romantic read--and the name switch...yeah, you totally got me there. I, too, almost went back--thinking that the characters maybe weren't Lois and Clark. That was a lot of fun

I really enjoyed the banter between the two of them...it was such a great mix of teasing, getting to know each other, trying to get more info out of the other. Very easy to picture the scenes unfolding, both of them taking the other in, becoming intreged.

Count me in on the people hoping (someday) for a sequel

Wonderful story,
Laura

Darth Michael: Wow, more FDK! That must mean you're on vacation. Does that mean we'll get more parts of the Man who would be King? (I saw it only had 2 in the TOC and you mentioned unposted parts).

Um... Perhaps I should have mentioned that this was also pre-S1.

From Wrong Clark time. I feel like I'm taking three steps back for every step forward on that one.

It could have been worse. She could have been wearing an anti-Superman pin. Also Pre-Superman.

LOIS: Yes.
CLARK: Thank you, but that's not what I was thinking.

So, in this dimension Bruce Wayne isn't a multi-millionaire CEO Philanthropist but a human rights lawyer.
BRUCE: Nobody would suspect a lawyer to be a hero.
DAREDEVIL:
(Hey, that explains what happened next...)

Immigration reasons.

Exactly. They trade that for 3 squares a day, a roof over their head, and a mat on the floor.
REFUGEE: Paradise!

No.
Well that was a switch from hot to cold quickly, Lois.

LOIS: No, I can handle it. Just jump in if it decides to go off, will ya?

But she doesn't like his human side.
CLARK: Not perfect.

CLARK: Yes, she'll do.
LOIS: Do? Do what?! You? Never!
CLARK:

LOIS: We're in Metropolis. In the city, us civilized people use sheets. And that's not why I came.

I could have done that bait and switch and had it been someone else.

CLARK: Me-OW!

CLARK: /holds up hands in self-defense/ Perfect people are boring.
BATMAN: /points at Clark/ He said it, not me.

Who said that there were two dates? Did I say that? No, I don't think that was written anywhere.

LOIS: That's the second date.
CLARK: I'd rather be normal than what he is, any day.

They both can't be set up?

That only works if she had started with Kevin Bacon.

"Good" isn't specific enough? /ducking/



To start with.
LOIS: Sometimes, I finish with it just to keep things fresh.

So, you doubt that Lois and Clark could actually be set up together?

Lois's POV. The Source most likely said that he had discovered that he had been wrong.
LOIS: Potahto. Tomahto.

HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER: No, Clark, I didn't say JUST come in with a red carnation.

Ooops.

Why would Lex have a human rights lawyer?

Then this would have been a different story.

So, he shouldn't have worn the loafers?

CLARK: They also said you were nice!

Bruce Wayne buys Daily Planet and hires Clark Kent to keep Lois out of Gotham City.

CLARK: Say, what?
MARTHA: So, honey, did you get the job?
CLARK: I'm working at the Daily Planet, and I don't want to talk about it.

He said that he owed her a favor, not vice versa.

LOIS: Reporters live on favors.

LUCY:
LOIS: Hey!



CLARK: She brought it up first.

She meant newer, but okay.

JOKER: /points at Batman/ If that's not what happened to him, then the jokes on me.

CLARK: I can't win, can I?
CAT: You can take me for a spin, big man.

Could be.

Clark hasn't mastered that language barrier.

LOIS: What? I carry lots of handy things about in my briefcase.

She did it under the table so it wasn't overt.

CLARK: That's what the Invisible Man told me, Officer.

LOIS: Sure, D.A. Clemmons. I'm not buying that.
CLARK: But, Lois...
LOIS: Give me a break, Clark.

Say what?!
WAITER: No comment.

CLARK: Hey, I'm a complicated fellow.

No, two degrees hotter than a third degree burn.

True, but brazen. Yes.

CLARK: Change in temperatures never really bother me.
LOIS:

No biting?

Yes, that's what Lois would think.

LEX: I've always found that to be true.

LOIS: I wouldn't date Ralph. Actually, I don't date usually.
LUCY: Yeah. She interviews.
LEX: /Still but nobody's paying attention/

No psychic or telepathic.

Thanks. See, un-beta'd.

Apparently American women (in general) aren't as promiscuous as they are portrayed in movies and television.

Yes, but the optimist in him says calling her opened minded is more likely to get that result that calling her the opposite.

Did he say he was human? No, just male.

Most likely.

CLARK: Well, no, but if I kill her off on the first date there won't be a second date.
LEX: Yes, I often serve Fugu at the end of a date.

Hey, he can do that!

So, SHE should have gone out with Mayson. What if Clark had been set up with Dan and Lois with Mayson.

LOIS: I don't usually attend church, but I think if I can go in a war zone I could handle one day at church.
CLARK: Um...

First dating anniversary.

LOIS: My mother told me that if I don't have sex for 3 years, I'll become a virgin again.
SAM: Ellen! That's not factually correct.

CLARK: Uh-huh.

I always find it funny that you're predictions are accurate and you don't notice it.

LOIS: I would have stopped him after the first one, so it wouldn't have been so awkward.
CLARK: Not until she told Dan to leave her apartment at once.



LOIS: No.

Could have happened.

JIMMY: Hey, Lois, look at this. /holds up DAILY PLANET CLASSIFIEDS/ "Single male hero looking for a woman to mend his heart. Lawyers, please don't apply." Oh, never mind. He wants someone who isn't likely to explode.

She just realized that they might not have met.

Nah. That was merely the kiss.
CLARK: If she thinks THAT'S floating, she hasn't seen nothing yet.
LOIS: This won't work. Your grammar is atrocious. Hey, I just realized. You're perfect for the Met Star. Have a nice life.

CLARK: Awkward isn't the right word.
LOIS: Pulitzer worthy?
PERRY: Not if you sleep with the subject to get the story, Lois.
LOIS: Drat!

Thanks for your comments.

Laura: Thank you for the comments.

Thank you.

See. Evil without torture.
MAYSON: Hello, I ended up with Dan not Clark. That sounds like torture to me.
DAN: I was about the say the same thing about her.

It's the best way to hold Lois's interest.
CLARK: Really? Hmmmm. I should be mysterious more often.

Took the right out of my fingers. I have some ideas, but first I have to catch up with Wrong Clark. Maybe after that.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I have to admit I didn't see the whole Dan/Mayson twist coming. However I should have.

First off, the set-up of Clark seemed to be with someone who had talked to the other party directly, Lois's was a multi-layered one.

On the other hand, while Clark did admit to being late, he just didn't seem to match the lateness of Lois.

Also, both parties thinking the other had gone for the red carnation seemed to be odd as well.

I should have also realized that the decription of fashion fit much better for Dan than for Clark.

I also want a sequel where Lois learned Clark's secret. Somehow I can't see him actually holding out till the first anniversary. What do I know though.

Aw! Very charming and fun! Nicely done, Virginia!

I had to open the FDK thread to get to the TOC, so I'd caught a hint that there was a twist, and yet it still made me grin when I got to it. Extra points for including "Evening Flowers" at the end.

How unexpectedly lovely! And by "unexpectedly", I mean that I wasn't looking to read any stories on here tonight, but my finger slipped and hit the link for yours, so I just went with it. So glad I did!

The banter, witty repartee, immediate chemistry and plot twists were on point. My favorite part was the explanation of the first, second and third degree. Who knew?!? I always thought "the third degree" was just a saying, not based on actuality. Bonus points for teaching me something new, Virginia. And I, for one, really don't care about the Mayson/Dan side of the tale, but I would love to fast forward to their year anniversary and the revelation, whenever that would occur.

I actually have to work on the one for which I bid on Corrina’s beta skills. Umm…have to get started on that one, actually…

Definitely only after it’s done. /looks for mojo-at-home assembly kit/

Oh.



ANOTHER LOIS: I *knew* it! I *knew* there was madness to the method.


MAYSON:


LOIS: So, he’s flattered but won’t go for it? Darn. Another gay one. Ever since that visit to Gotham and me getting res- erm helped out by that black man in tights, who’s so obviously gay, all I do is attract gay men.

Well…Bruce could have done an undercover stint in Nepal and didn’t want to tell his reporter friend that he’s really Bruce Wayne?
BRUCE: And they think having *one* secret identity is hard to maintain.



LOIS: Is the EW suggesting something?
ER: No, I’m sure it has nothing to do with the current moon phase.





Maybe he should show her a photo of himself in just a towel?

Umm…a…umm…

Oh no you don’t! You stated perfectly ambiguously that Clark/Lois where wearing the red carnations. This could not have been a continuity mistake. Not from an EW routinely jumping around dimensions and times and not losing her breakfast along the way.
PREGNANT LOIS: No, that breakfast would be mine.

So this is the interrogation equivalent first, second, and third degree to the dating-scheme of getting to first, second, and third base?
Let’s see…
First date is first degree is verbal interrogation.
Second date is second degree is intensive observation.
Third date is third degree is manually enhanced interrogation.
Fourth date is fourth degree is execution of the convicted.

ACKBAR: It’s a trap!

In case he gets fresh but isn’t looking too dangerous so she can take her time with the incapacitation?

There’s reasonable doubt.

Oh. Duh!

What if the HRL was actually female? What’s Batgirl’s occupation again?

Alibi? So he has someone who can explain to the judges how it’s okay to keep his overseas-workforce in their pens like he does?

CLARK: But they make me think I’m walking on air!


HRL: That blonde bombshell took me to her cabin in the woods on our second date!





No, actually, she provided an amorous service to him, and Clark stated that he now owns her compensation. That it’s a favor and paid after the fact only means that Lois isn’t very experienced (yet) in that line of work.

But she can also bring him down with one knee-jerk reaction.
CLARK:
LOIS: Clark, what do you think of my new shiny green ankle bracelet? I bought it on a recent trip to Smallville when I did an expose on weed-farming that is apparently going on in the Midwest.



CLARK: That would be a ‘no’ then.
CAT:

Yes, but what if Clark had done it?
LOIS: That’s what filled-up wine glasses are for.


LOIS: Perry! I want a new partner. Someone a bit more experienced.
RALPH:



Yep. I can’t re-find it right now, but there’s quite a different palate in Easter Asia to what we are used to. Colleague of mine went on an South-China tour once and got to taste fried spider legs.

Yeah, he’s a keeper.
RALPH: Door mat.
CLARK: Hey, at least I get some!
LOIS:
CLARK: Okay, maybe not tonight, but still…

No, more fun during the chewing?



CLARK: So, according to that morning talk show I accidently watched, Lois Lane isn’t dating anyone. Even her best friend Linda calls her frigid. Now, if even that is an exaggeration, does that mean I will not have to worry about giving her the curse? Ever?

He thinking that you catch more Loises with chocolate than with Lex?

Hence the ‘not’

JAPANESE CHAP: Uncultured white guy…


BRUCE: What? I always thought how you ran away from every skirt that looked your way…?
LUCY: She really doesn’t like men.

Did she just accept? Maybe Clark should hurry up to close the deal?

So, Lois wouldn’t be mad that she has to wait about three years until she finally gets to consummate her marriage with Clark?
LOIS: If Canon-Lois could wait three years, I can, too! Now, where’s the chocolate



I don’t want to presume and like to keep my options open in case the road traveled is not the most obvious one? Or the second most obvious one. Or the third… no, it’s usually one of the first two ten times out of eleven (sic) Now, the gender-bender setup, that I might have made a joke about but never expected In this story. In a romcom setup dating story, OTOH,



That’s an…interesting logic.



Interesting. I always thought Lois was the one without a clue for spelling or proper structure (e.g. “The FBI said” instead of “An FBI spokesman” – LOIS: Spokeswoman! – “whatever… said”).

So, Perry would make sure she wouldn’t get recognition for exposing her boyfriend’s secrets? Is that the reason she flunked out of the Lex Luthor investigation?

Michael

More comments! Hmmmm. Maybe I should write more non-canon based stories.

John: Thanks for coming by to visit!
Because it was one of my stories?

Oh, you mean because I dropped a whole bunch of clues.

He arrived at the bar on time, but it took him a little time to get in. Then, again, Lois isn't known for her patience. Five minutes could seem like a lifetime to her.

I could see that happening if a third party came up with the idea.

CLARK: I would hope so!

It's in with my muse at the moment. We'll see if anything comes of it in her spare time.


Sue S.: *Sue!* /humbly/ Thank you for the comments.

Awww. Shucks. Thank you.

/Points to TOC forum/ Thanks. I stumbled across it when trying to find some artwork that Clark wear. I'm not a big fan of Picasso, but I do like his flowers. I wasn't familiar with this piece, so I figured others might not be as well, which is why I included a copy of the picture at the end of the story. I'm glad you enjoyed it.


magical: Thank you for reading.

I'm so glad that you liked it.

Thank you. It's been a while, so I figured I needed to stretch those muscles.

As you may or may not know, I'm fairly well known for my mixed up idioms. Actually, this idea came from Wrong Clark. My beta correct my "Fifth Degree" with "third degree" and I Googled it and saw this explanation. It sounded like something Lois and Clark would "discuss", but it didn't fit in the scene for Wrong Clark, so when I was trying to come up with conversation points, I used this idea here. Sometimes it's the wrong turn that will take you to the beautiful view.

Fast forward? /tugs at collar/ But that would mean jumping over a whole bunch of other possibilities for fun. It might be a several step process. I've got a lot on my plate on the moment.

I'm glad you all enjoyed this little alt-beginning.

Hey, Michael, sorry about the long response time on this. I'm trying to finish up this Investigation section of Wrong Clark and RL keeps hitting me over the head with a frying pan. I'll work on responding to your FDK-FDK-FDK this weekend. Forgive me.

Soooo, no?

/Searches for Austin Powers lost mojo/
Some you're one of those I'll post it when it's complete people now? That would be difficult for me.

No, *ME* The Writer, not the characters. They're more like take one step forward, fly west a state. Take one step forward. Fly west. They're somewhere over Asia at the moment.

CLARK: He's my best friend.
LOIS:

CLARK: Really? I think one secret identity is so 20th century. In the 21st, I'm going to have 3-4.

CLARK: She's a werewolf?

LOIS: And what kind of articles did you write while in Europe?
CLARK: Write? No, I didn't write. I was male model for French fashion magazines. Would you like to see my portfolio?
LOIS: /clears throat/ So, nudes too?
CLARK: Well, only when they were tasteful.

The only pregnant Lois I've written was in Missing Lois and I've crossed that plot off my list. Why doesn't anyone believe me?

So, would that be sex on the third date and kill him after he didn't call for a 4th date?

It really is applicable everywhere!

Some guys don't deserve it until the end of the date. (Points to Claude in Green-Eyed Monster).

ummmm. Crime fighter?

LAWYER: Luthor makes sure his workforce has fresh slop... er... food every day.



CLARK: And here I thought English was my first language.

CLARK: /on his knees, groveling/ Please. I'll do anything you want. Please take off your jewelry and throw it away.

Nowadays, people are overt about leaving their iPhones on the table and rudely checking texts and messages while you talk.
LOIS: Oh, dear. Did you phone just land in that lobster tank? Pity. Now, as I was saying...

LOIS: Not THAT kind of experience.

Well, that's the only way I'd want them on my plate.



CLARK: Please, no.

No, especially if you have heat vision.
CLARK: Well, er... nobody said anything about that.

CLARK: I can catch more Lexes with a chocolate filled Lois.
LOIS: Say what?
CLARK: As my partner. Because she's brilliant.

CLARK: I know.

CLARK: I was *rescuing* someone else. I wasn't running away.
LOIS: I hate women more than I hate men. You can't trust a word they say.
CLARK: So, since you're a woman and I shouldn't trust what you're saying about women, which means...

CLARK: Great! So, it's a date. By the way, there's something you should know...

Why three years before they get married? They didn't spend the first 2 as friends in this universe.

But it would have been funny.
LUCY: So.... What did you think of Mayson?
LOIS: He's very nice.
LUCY: He?!

LOIS: Metropolis is smarter than the rest of the world. So, being the best here is more difficult than being the best anywhere else.

Yes, but a) would she admit it, and b) wouldn't she still find someone with the same trait lacking?

CLARK: And because she didn't listen to reason...

Hi Virginia! No worries. As you can see, I'm also a tad behind... /eyes RL, trying to determine if it's more like a Tribbel or more like a Mogway that has been fed after midnight/

Michael

Not at the moment, no

/looks at part 188 of 1xxx/ I can see why.


LOIS: *SUUUUUPEEEEERMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN*!
Also if they keep it up, they end up right where they started?



So he can keep 3-4 girlfriends?
CLARK: Let’s see…there’s Wanda. Lola. Lois. Angel. And Mayson.

Yes, that would work for a Mad Dog.

Also, I got an idea for that last quip, but I don’t think it would be appropriate over here.

Because I never qualified where the preggers Lois was coming from but you automatically jumped to a certain story, trying to prove us Wrong?

Hmm…yes, that’d work.

Of course. Can you imagine someone showing up to a wedding party wearing an Ackbar shirt?

No, I meant when she isn’t out trolling the streets for naughty boys.

No, his first language is Kansan.


LOIS: So, you want me to remove my attire and then you’d do anything want? I don’t see the novelty in that.

I once read that it’s because work or the latest social media status upate of a virtual friend is more important than the person on the other side of the table?
AMOR: /throws bow into garbage/
EARTH: And that’s how I got rid of my humans.
On that note:
MARS: How you doing?
EARTH: Not got. I’ve got humans.
MARS: Don’t worry. It passes.





So, he thinks he’s saved himself there?



Oops. Two years. My bad. /going with the traditional one year waiting period between romantic milestones/



ER: I don’t think this makes any sense.
LOIS: You from Metropolis?
ER: No?
LOIS: See?
ER:



Michael

Michael, you're too funny.
No. No! NO! Only 1/3 of the story left. Stop encouraging my muse to ramble.


CLARK: Oh, lookie, Lois. Metropolis.

CLARK: Mayson?

Yes, probably best to let my imagination go wild than to print it.





CLARK: That's not what I meant!
LOIS: Why not?

Like gas?

CLARK:

It takes a man that long to recover?

Ooops? I thought your muse depended on her Loisness?

Well, I figured with the other 3 a Mayson might be fun to mix in? You know, keep things spicy.



He really should watch out. Otherwise, Lois might start to think he’s not interested.

You mean, even if you don’t see them, you still know they have been there?

LOIS:


CLARK: Lana has been an exceptionally difficult girlfriend?

Michael

No, I ramble just fine on my own.

LOIS: I can be spicy. Dan said my cooking was 5-alarm hot. Of course, that was before I had to take him to the emergency room, but that was another story.

LOIS: Wait. You're interested? /points between them/ WE need to work on our communication skills.

CLARK: Um... I fold?

LOIS: Why the semi-present tense there, Clarkiie? Who's this Lana person?

Also…
MFD: I sure hope her home insurance will cover the 5 engines we had to send to her apartment building.
CLARK: I have no idea what you’re talking about. I think it’s tasty and gives a nice buzz on the taste buds.





CLARK: We're not exclusive, right? Like you and Superman.
SUPERMAN: I do also rescue other women.

Michael

MR. TRACEWSKI: Ms. Lane, I think it's time for you to find another place to live.
LOIS: Ooops.

LOIS: Who is this Superman, guy?
CLARK: He's...um... er... a friend of mine? He goes around in a skin tight suit, rescuing women, but he prefers you.
LOIS: /bats her eyelashes innocently/ He's your little friend?
CLARK: Well, I wouldn't say that.
LOIS: Oh. Really?
CLARK:

You've forgotten that Superman doesn't exist yet in this universe.

Maybe she could move into Clark’s?



Oops?

Michael
