Sue, this was wonderful. I loved the cuteness of the ceremony.

Please tell us which idea was which. What was DJ's challenge? What was your neighbor's idea?

"Married?" Martha repeated incredulously. "They're married?"
Oh boy, I really can see K Callans face in my head right now laugh

She could hardly wait to get back to Metropolis and watch him explain to Mayson Drake that they were, albeit temporarily, married
Poor Mayson. Although of course Lois is the only woman in Clarks life, I nevertheless liked her. She was a nice young lady who fell in love with a nice young guy. Her only fault was it not to see that she never had a chance at all

Quote
Clark leaned down to whisper the words he had secretly hoped he might someday say to her. "Hello, Mrs. Kent."
oh, that's sweet clap

Admit it, she told herself. You've got a crush on your husband.
Finally *lol*

Love it! Everything about it was just perfect, Sue. smile Mickey, the lurid shirts, Martha's incredulous introduction, Reverend Bob's puffs of white hair, Clark's authentic kiss, Lois's rambling thoughts about her clothes, and best of all, the fact that they're married and we're still only on Part 1! Can't wait to see what happens next. laugh

Oh, I love it! I think I did a jaw drop halfway through. The last thing in the world I expected was for Mickey to help them LOL.

Quote
It was a good thing that he had no idea just how thrilling that name sounded to her. Admit it, she told herself. You've got a crush on your husband.
And this ending just killed! Can't wait to find out what happens next.

Yeah, what Yvonne said! This is off to a really great start. So get working on a really great ending to match, d'ya hear??

"Um, well..." The clerk hesitated and then her tone softened somewhat. "I'm sorry, I really don't know. I was just asked to contact someone, a family member or a legal representative, and ask them to come here to make decisions regarding their care."
Oh, boy. What could they have possibly gotten themselves into that Superman couldn't get them out of?

Can't wait to see the next part. And light a fire under that muse of yours! We don't want this to be an orphan, especially with this terrific start, now, do we?

No, we don't.

Tell them we're on our way. You can tell them that, can't you?" Suddenly Martha realized just how dire the situation might be. "Is that why you're calling? Because they can't?"

"Um, well..." The clerk hesitated and then her tone softened somewhat. "I'm sorry, I really don't know. I was just asked to contact someone, a family member or a legal representative, and ask them to come here to make decisions regarding their care."
ACK! What a beginning! You certainly do know how to hook someone's interest.

I know the perfect wedding chapel. Got married there myself once or twice. No, maybe it was three times. Anyway, the minister is a friend of mine. He'll take good care of you. You gotta wedding license yet?"
Too funny. Poor Lois! Lucky Clark. :p (Actually, Lucky Lois, too!)

A very sweet ceremony. And you always didn't know how to end a chapter on a bang:

Quote
Admit it, she told herself. You've got a crush on your husband.
Love it!

I had just written quite a lot of feedback, and I had come to this little passage:

Quote
She could hardly wait to get back to Metropolis and watch him explain to Mayson Drake that they were, albeit temporarily, married.
I was going to add one of these: goofy , when suddenly all my feedback just disappeared! Everything that was left was the goofy icon! Now I have to add this icon: mecry

Sooo... Sue, this was a brilliant first chapter. Great, but incredibly scary opening. Loved Lois's impulsive insistence that they'd follow Mickey to Las Vegas. Loved Clark having a window seat close to the front of the plane (me, the claustrophobiac, have to have an aisle seat close to the front). Loved how Lois told Mickey that she and Clark had come to Las Vegas to elope, just because it was the first explanation she could think of. Love the minister, always happy to marry Mickey off for the second, third, or fourth time. (And I loved his white puffs of hair and bright pink skull, and this little piece of dialogue:)

Quote
"Wonderful! What kind of a ceremony did you two want? Religious? Civil?"

"Just the usual," Lois told him. "Nothing special." Sunscreen, she thought as she looked at the top of Bob's sunburned head. How did someone live in Las Vegas and not know about sunscreen?
Loved how you reminded us of the thugs accompanying Mickey and making sure Lois and Clark eloped as they said they would.

Loved how Lois got nervous as if she was getting married for real, and how Clark calmed her. Loved how she wished she had dressed better for her "wedding". (Oh, but it apparently turned out to be a real wedding after all... or at least Clark and Lois didn't get it annulled before they landed in hospital... suddenly that bit about "until death parts us" sounds really sinister!)

I absolutely loved the kiss that Clark gave Lois, and the way she reacted. And like everybody else, I loved that bit about how she had a crush on her husband.

Sorry I lost all your quotes, Sue. It was an adorable first chapter. Now, if you can just bring us to the end of the last chapter without letting anything unspeakably horrible happen to our favorite newlyweds...

Posted By: princessanna Re: FDK: Honeymoon...in Vegas 1 - 05/14/07 06:36 PM
A wonderful start, Sue. Although, as many others have mentioned, slightly worrying...

Why would Clark be in hospital too? I mean...he's Superman. Unless Mickey had Kryptonite somewhere...? eek

Anyway, fabulously done! I look forward to reading the next installment. laugh

Can't wait for chapter 2.

oi... I wasn't supposed to be taking a break from working on Blizzard (which is how I was taking a break from working on something else, even *lol*) but I just *had* to when I saw this. Ooooooh! I am soooooo loving it! YAY!!

I'll be back with real actual FDK a little later (probably tomorrow on my lunch hour) - going back to that last part of the snow storm that's lasted through Spring and will spill into Summer if I don't get this done sooooon! *lol*

Hi Sue,

Great start. The wedding ceremony is so sweet, even though it wasn't exactly real. I'm hoping there won't be an annulment, or just a temporary one. wink

The trip to Vegas and the wedding were so cute that I almost forgot how this story started. I'm wondering what happens in the days in between.

Yours Jenni

One is a story challenge from DJ and the other is a suggestion from my mom's best friend. (Never tell anyone you're writing fanfic unless you want the whole neighborhood to know.) Since this started out as two stories, DJ has graciously agreed to let me count it as two in my penance. So that's three down and two to go.
Yes, you're over the hill and half-way there. drool

This was a great start Sue... and now I'm off to read the revision of part 3! I hope you were working on part 4 last night. <g>

Ahhhh, feedback. It takes so little time and yet it delights and thrills me for hours, days, weeks, months... laugh
Quote
Please tell us which idea was which. What was DJ's challenge? What was your neighbor's idea?
That would be telling! We're almost to what DJ asked for and we're nowhere near what Brenda suggested. Once we pass those mileposts I'll clue you in.

Poor Mayson. Although of course Lois is the only woman in Clarks life, I nevertheless liked her.
I've always had a fondness for Mayson. Lois? Not so much. She only tolerated Mayson. And even that was done grudgingly.

Thanks, Yvonne! You managed to pick out all my favorite little details in just one sentence and it left me clapping my hands in glee.
Quote
The last thing in the world I expected was for Mickey to help them LOL.
Was he being helpful? Or, as Clark is going to ponder in the next part, is he "just messing with them"?
Quote
So get working on a really great ending to match, d'ya hear??
The ending *is* written. I start stories with a definite ending in mind and everything else is just getting to that point.
Quote
Oh, boy. What could they have possibly gotten themselves into that Superman couldn't get them out of?
and
Why would Clark be in hospital too? I mean...he's Superman. Unless Mickey had Kryptonite somewhere...?
The mind boggles, doesn't it? I'll give you a hint, it's not "Kryptonite". wink
Quote
Too funny. Poor Lois! Lucky Clark. (Actually, Lucky Lois, too!)
Lucky Lois, indeed! She's in Vegas, and she's just hit the jackpot (although she hasn't figured that out just yet).
Quote
Loved Clark having a window seat close to the front of the plane (me, the claustrophobiac, have to have an aisle seat close to the front).
My theory is that he feels like he has to *watch* the ground below or the wings of the plane to feel comfortable.
Quote

Heh. Heh. Heh. So many replies to that. But I don't want to get ahead of myself.
Quote

I'm sorry you lost them too, but I'll soldier on somehow. <g> You did read the first bit, about them being in the hospital, right? I would say that something unspeakably horrible has happened to both of them...
Quote
I love how they end up married so quickly
It's only a six part story and we've got a lot of ground to cover. Everything is going to go pretty fast. Blame it on my attention deficit disorder.

All will be explained. And very soon. (See previous note about ADD)
Quote
But seriously, do you think hubby could come to the ceremony? Otherwise I think he might feel snubbed.
DJ, you know me well enough to know every dirty little reply that came to mind. laugh
Quote
And mmmmm <drool> that was a nice kiss, but of course you know how I feel about the NEXT KISS. I've read the thing like 5 times now and it keeps getting better each time. Yum! If Lois thinks she was breathing unsteady after this kiss, just wait.
Heh. Woody, if you're still reading, the next kiss is part of what DJ asked for. We've actually already accomplished one element she asked for, but it's a two-fer so...

Thanks again, you guys! I'll post a part each Monday (or sooner, if there's a demand <cough, cough> for them).

A new Sue's story!!! [Linked Image]

Sue, when I see a new story of yours, I jump for joy. I do love anything you write. help

Quote
"No, really, Mickey, it's very nice of you to offer, but it's not necessary," Lois tried again.

"Ain't you never heard about offers you can't refuse?" Mickey huffed as he opened the back door of a waiting taxi. "I'm gonna be insulted if you tell me no, kids. You're here to get married, I'm here to help. Now get in the car." There was the faintest trace of impatience in his voice and they both realized that he wasn't entirely buying their story about eloping.
Hehehe... Mickey isn't going to let them back out of this. He can be a villain, but right now I do like him. clap

Quote
Someone let out a whistle and he decided to make at least one thing about this ceremony authentic. He took her upper lip between his, tipping her head back so he could kiss her with feeling. He could taste the faint flavor of diet cola - she must have drunk one on the plane. He used the tip of his tongue to tease away the sweetness that had lingered on her lip.
WAFFy sigh. [Linked Image]

Quote
Admit it, she told herself. You've got a crush on your husband.
I loved this line. Brilliant, Sue! devil

Ah, Sue...you've gone and done it again! You've started another masterpiece!

So, this happens after the 'almost first date'? So, Clark isn't having to take insult after insult just to stay in Lois's good graces.

Now, why would Lois come up with an excuse like "We're in Vegas to get married" if she didn't have some subliminal desire that she won't openly fess up to. Oh, I cannot wait until the next part! And I can't wait to find out why the next of kin has been notified.

Hurry back girl! You know the drill...don't keep us waiting!

Another story of yours that will get me late to work. I only wanted to check the boards and found your story. Couldn't wait till tonight to read it. laugh

Great start and I can't wait for the next part. Loved every word of it.

And it's definitely a great story!

Oh, Andreia, I'm fairly certain you're going to revise that opinion before the story is over.

No chance. But I will post part two shortly.

Be assured, she's going to exorcise a lot of subliminal wishes. And so will Clark.

Thanks! I thought it was a good attention-getter.

Thanks for reading along with me. I'll have part two up shortly. sloppy

Sorry for the late FDK. I was really hoping to get this to you before you posted the next part, but eh what can you do sometimes?

Quote
"Um, well..." The clerk hesitated and then her tone softened somewhat. "I'm sorry, I really don't know. I was just asked to contact someone, a family member or a legal representative, and ask them to come here to make decisions regarding their care."
I’m convinced that you and DJ do things like this in your story just to get me riled up. You know by now that when you give me a nugget like this that it just going to drive me crazy until I figure it out. Then it will make me lament the whole time on their horrible and terrible situation, that YOU put them in. *cries* This is why you are evil. Lure me into a story and hit me with something like this right off. *sniff*

*whispers* You know I really love it when you do this. I know I’m a masochist.

Quote
"He's got a suitcase, Lois. He's leaving Metropolis. What are you going to do? Follow him onto the plane?"
He has to know by now that is exactly what she will do. He should learn not to ask questions like this or it’s just gonna give her ideas. smile

Quote
She could hardly wait to get back to Metropolis and watch him explain to Mayson Drake that they were, albeit temporarily, married.
Haha, I would totally rub that in as well. laugh Score one for Lois.

Quote
It was a good thing that he had no idea just how thrilling that name sounded to her. Admit it, she told herself. You've got a crush on your husband.
Don’t worry so do the rest of us. ^_^

I like the premise of this story so far. It seems like it will be a fun ride. *runs off to read the second part that was just posted*
Posted By: LaraMoon Re: FDK: Honeymoon...in Vegas 1 - 05/21/07 04:10 PM
*looks embarrassed* I said I'd come back, but I didn't...

I'm here now. smile

Quote
Clark handed the agent his credit card and inwardly sighed at the injustice of having to waste fifteen hundred dollars and five hours to do something he could have accomplished in a minute's time for absolutely nothing.
hehehehe! Oh, Clark, this is SO going to be worth the money. You just wait and see! *giggles madly*

Quote
Lois bit back the impulse to say 'following you, you idiot' and blurted out the first thing that popped into her head. "Uh, we're eloping."
I LOVE that the first thing that popped into her head is "we're eloping" - they could have been doing any number of things, really. hehe! Lois, Lois... don't you see your subconscious is doing all the talking here? Hope you listen to it!

Quote
Why hadn't she told him something else? She could have told him that they were here to do a story on compulsive gambling or something - anything - else.
erm... Lois? I just told you why. DUH.

Quote
"Come on then, Clark," she said and tried to appear enthusiastic. "Let's get married."
insert small squee right here. YAY. I know, I know, I shouldn't get excited... I will anyway!

The whole ceremony was priceless! *dreamy sigh*

Quote
You've got a crush on your husband.
Brilliant!! laugh

You know... she's going to have an insane fit of anger when she realizes she's married to Superman! :p
Posted By: shimauma Re: FDK: Honeymoon...in Vegas 1 - 09/03/07 06:14 PM
WOW! this is starting out very promisingly, and having already read the ending (giggle goofy ) I'm glad to have been directed to this(I don't often hit the PG side wink )

Looking forward to the rest!
