I started this a long, long, long time ago in response to a fairytale challenge. It was nice to finish a story again.
It's been a long time since I've had much time to write. I really miss it!

Her three dreams all seemed to have one common theme. Clark didn’t really believe that she loved him. And answering ‘no, not yet’ to his proposal hadn’t done anything to bolster his confidence. The lunkhead. He just needed to understand that she needed time to get to know both sides of him. Yeah, he's such a....guy, hah. Lois awoke with a start, her arms wrapped tenderly around her pillow and the taste of wet cotton in her mouth. Yuck! That was embarrassing. *snicker* Very clever story! I think CinderClark was my fav out of the lot. JD

Yes, CinderClark was certainly a lot of fun, and Fairy Perry, too!

What kind of pizza did Lois have before she went to bed? Onion and anchovy?
I liked this story; very interesting.
thanks!

Always cool to see a 'new' story from you, Irene. Remember to send it along to the Archive too, won't you?  We're still missing quite a few of these Fundraiser stories. LabRat

Yeah! An Irene fic! I don't even have a moment to read this--why did I bother to even look--but I look forward to it.

I loved al the fairy tale dreams she had to realise she really does love Clark.

That was a really funny story, Irene!  I especially liked the first segment with gingerbread man and the chocolate gooey center. “... I want your goodies! All you have to do is lie still.” ... And then he picked up her basket of goodies and started pawing through it. Typical man. Couldn’t be gentle with something like that. There. He’d broken the Double Fudge Crunch bars! Pig! Thanks for the great read, Irene! Simba

Aww! I loved this! I read it right before I had to dash off to school, so I didn't have time to leave proper feedback. This was such a fun way to show Lois' train of thoughts. I laughed out loud at the thought of "Fairy Perry" and I was unreasonably sad when Lois disregarded poor Ginger-Clark. Great job!

Irene, this was enchanting! The dreams were a very clever way to explore Lois' thoughts. The gingerbread dream was my favorite. Thank you for sharing!

What a great story! Of course, I love everything you write, Irene.
Nicely done--from the point she's convinced she can't sleep... to the point she's running after him and not sure she wants to... to the point where she wants to take the time to figure things out, but isn't sure someone will snatch him away in the meanwhile... to the point where she decides what she wants.
I wasn't sure exactly what happened to the glass. Was it part of a dream? It seemed odd that it broke when she was no longer there.
