"Lois. Lois Lane. Best reporter I ever knew." Darn right she's the best reporter you ever knew! Well, at least we know Clark has some of his priorities straight, even if he's dating Rachel. Well the poor guy does have an excuse; he thinks she left him for Daniel. (BTW, I'd like to take this opportunity to sing the praises of Daniel Scardino, the best DEA agent I know.  ) And I just love how they refer to him as 'hot shorts guy'!! It fits him so well.  Great job with this one you guys. Keep it up!! More!! More!!  ~Anna

Okay, so I'm normally not a crossover person. However, I do watch friends, so was happy to make an exception for this story. I've just read parts one to three and... good stuff!
The Friends dialogue has been pretty much spot on, especially the scene where they first see Hot Shorts Guy.
I'm wondering who is going to be the sorority sister; I'm guessing Monica, but maybe I'm completely wrong.
Anyway, I'm hoping to see lots of confusion and silliness when everyone converges on New York all at once... along with a reconciliation and a very happy ending!

Come on Lois, make an appearance now! There's a (super)hunk of a guy here who needs you to stake a claim on. Not that you'd really need to, as far as he's concerned.  --meclone2--

Another nice part! Although I don't like Clark dating Rachel, but I guess that's not really my decision is it. You've really got the Friends characterizations down great and the dialogue works VERY well.

This just gets better! Particularly liked LOL! And can we assume that Clark 1)heard the whole Rachel/Monica conversation and 2)knows exactly where Rachel lives?
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

The first scene at Central Perk could have been right from the show- very good job guys! I love the part where Rachel sinks on the couch and then peeks over the edge. Hilarious for Phoebe to do the same!  I'm not too worried about this date Rachel thing, but still... I think it's time that Lois make her way to NYC. Just a thought- the sorority friend probably isn't Rachel because she would have remembered her name when seeing it in the Planet, right? Looking forward to more! Great story ~sunkist

Well, technically I know that I shouldn't be too worried about the date with Rachel because I know that Lois and Clark are going to end up together at the end - right? But as I was reading this I was starting to hyperventilate; I can't handle Clark dating and flirting with another woman!!!!! I can read Wendy's and Kaethel's angst-fests and barely bat an eyelash, but this is too much for me! So I'm going to borrow Bethy's scream from an earlier feedback folder: No no no no no no noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Now that I've got that off my chest, I'm a little puzzled about this: He wasn't over *her* yet and he knew that. If Rachel was half as intuitive as she seemed, she knew it too Huh? How would Rachel know this? She's too bowled over by his smile and his good looks to notice anything else, and he was flirting and laughing with her and grinning at her.  Based on his behavior (the way that I read it, anyway), I don't think that she could possibly have been able to tell whether or not he was miserable inside. Kathy

Carol and Missy I think Lois needs to make an appearance in NYC. Like right now!! It's obvious that Clark misses her.  Rachel and him are just not meant to be. I'm looking forward to reading the next part. Please post it soon. Tricia

Rachel, intuitive? Yeah right. I keep reading this because I really want to see Lois and Clark reunited, but I just can not believe that Clark and Rachel are on a date.  But at least Ross is not a major character here. - Alicia

I'm loving this story! The Central Perk conversation between the girls, had me in stitches!  I even enjoyed the Clark/ Rachel bit in the coffe shop. Lois will have to arrive soon tho, before I get too attatched to Clark and Rachel!  I can't believe I actully thought that thought!

I really like the flirting between Rachel & Clark -- it is nicely writen.

The only person Clark can do that with is Lois -- well maybe he could do it with me. But hurry -- bring the best reporter to him.

Just like Barb, I really enjoy the flirting between Clark and Rachel and, as much as I want him to be with Lois, if you drag this long enough, I'm sure Lois will try to claim what should be hers... Any chance of a fight between the two women taking place? Now, about the sorority sister. A good point was made earlier. If it was Rachel (my first choice before thios section) she would have remembered Lois's name.. SO I guess Monica it is... Btw Guys, it is MONDAY already.... Cris

I just had a horrible thought... what if the sorority sister isn't one of the girls, but is a character they run into alot. That would leave..... Janice!!! Oh, my Gawd! I hope not! Post soon! ~sunkist

CM
Edit: New part is up! Thank you again to everyone for their comments - I hope to be able to respond better next time and that I'll get enough work done to do so - semester ends next week and have more to do than I thought.
Thanks again!
