Aww very cute and I like your version way better than the original.
Thanks jackiek
I'm glad you liked my take on this episode that ended with all the fans around the world screaming "Nooooooo!" at Clark the bonehead aka Superman the Lunkhead. I figured Lois would be able to calm his unfounded fears and get him to see what a dolt he was for even thinking like that.
I like when characters sit down and talk instead of causing all sorts of problems by not talking. Cute story.
Hey mrsMxyzptlk!
Imagine that? A world where two adults sit down and talk to one another and work out thier problems. I'm not a big fan of ignoring problems unless there's a contributing factor to it. (ie: trauma, major life change, etc...). Most adults I know can talk to other adults and work out their problems so why can't these two?
I'm all for a little waffiness! I do so love when people take parts of episodes and twist them into things we like better
That's half the fun of fanfic.
I don't rewatch Contact much because of the ending - I don't like it when our heroes are apart! However, I do remember the part of the ep that you used as your starting point, and I think it's a great choice. I always wanted her to finish her thought - and kiss him! - because she totally looked like she was going to do just that.
Thanks for rewriting this one! Your ending was adorable:
“Your decision being?” he murmured against her lips.
“Yes,” she sighed happily against him, deepening the kiss. “Even if you do have selective hearing.”
So cute! Nice job!

Hey Tracey!
I have to admit I had a hard time watching this episode after the first time I watched it because I knew what was coming. It was like watching a horror movie where the girl goes into the basement with the axe murderer and you're screaming at the screen, "No, don't go in there you idiot! Run!"
But given all that I do think this part would have been better if Clark didn't constantly keep interupting Lois. I mean, first in HoL where he lies to her face about having feelings then getting her distracted with finding that pesky puncture mark on her neck and again when he decides he needs to break up with her for her own good.
Anyway, enough about my tangent on cannon. I'm glad you enjoyed my take on it. Waffiness is very fun! I corrected a few wrongs and took some liberties with the body language that was in the show where ---Yes, I agree she was totally going to kiss him-- wrongs needed to be righted and lunkheads needed to be talked down.
Thanks for commenting everyone.
If you hadn't noticed I did edit the original post to add in a PG version of the epilogue at the end.
