You know I love this, Taivas. Especially the beautiful and very funny dialogue. And you certainly packed a lot into this segment. Witty, poignant in places, Lucy-interruptus <g> just as Lois might figure it out, and some great character development along the way.

And this:

Quote
"Did you find an escort to the ball tonight? Because if you didn't I have..."

"Is there some rule that says I can't go by myself," Lois interrupted, clearly upset. "Why is it all right for a man to go stag to these things, but it's a sin if a woman does?"

"I didn't say..."

"If I want to go by myself, I will. I don’t need to drag some stranger along just for the sake of appearances. Do I?"

Perry looked duly chastised. "I'm sorry, honey, I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. It doesn't bother me at all if you want to go alone."

"Fine. Well, we better get going. Clark is going to need some time to find a tux."

Perry gave her a confused look. "Why does Kent need a tux?"

"Oh, Clark is my escort tonight. See you at two, Chief." She then whirled around before Perry could respond and took off out of the office.
goofy Yup, that's our Lois, all right.


Superb! thumbsup

Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.
Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
