Alicia This part is excellent! Such a lot of fun!  Their conversation is exactly how I’d imagined it would be. Their reactions to each other are great. They are so much alike and you did a wonderful job showing it. I love how Lois’s idea to start again backfired until eventually it took thoughts of Clark for both of them to realize what was happening. It shows their trust in Clark and what he thinks. Both Clark’s would definitely have thought that they were acting very childishly.  I’m enjoying this immensely and look forward to the next part. Tricia

Brilliant conversation between the two women!! Exactly how the two of them would behave IMO.
Wonderfully done, Alicia! I'm enjoying the whole story, and this installment was fantastic.
More!

I'm coming in on the story late, so I clicked on the TOC link hoping to be able to read the first ten parts - but I got a message telling me that only moderators and administrators can perform this function. Huh? Us normal folk can't catch up on a story? So, how can I read your story to date? I really wanna... Melisma (feeling blue here under her Rock)

Lois felt her cheeks flushing. This wasn’t how it was supposed to work. Obviously Dr. Lois had just challenged her. “Well, I will eventually win the Pulitzer Prize.” She raised her eyebrows and waited for Dr. Lois’s retort.
“Huh,” was the first thing out of Dr. Lois’s mouth. Who cared about the Pulitzer Prize? “The Pulitzer Prize? I’m going to win the *Nobel* Prize plus I’m going to be elected to the National Academy of Engineering.” Now that was definitely a better award if she had ever seen one. Heck, it was probably two or three times the award – or even fifty times the award, if she was really going to be technical.
Lois felt her cheeks redden when she said, “Well, I get published every day in the ‘Daily Planet.’ People all around the world know my name.” ROTFL!  This is priceless, Alicia! Too funny! I love their competitive spirits. And so totally 'Lois'. I think it will be great to see them working together instead of fighting.  And I like how both Clarks are dealing with each other. They're really cool guys. I'm looking forward to reading more! 
Lois: Well, I like my quirks. I think they make me unique.
Clark: You certainly are unique.
Clark: You're high maintenance, you know that?
Lois: But I'm worth it!

All fixed now, Mel. What had happened was that Alicia had linked to the editing screen for her ToC, rather than to the ToC post itself. It's a common enough mistake; I've done it myself.  Anyway, I've edited the link, so now you can see the ToC and get caught up on this fascinating and very funny story.

LOL! Alicia! That was a lot of fun, and it was great how they finally managed to find something in common despite themselves. Meanwhile Clark and Dr Clark are working together like a well-oiled machine - how typical! Great stuff, Alicia. Keep it coming. Yvonne

Hi, Great part. PS Part 13.

Don't like Luthor, unfinished, untitled and crossover story, and people that promises and don't deliver. I'm getting choosy with age.

Wonderful part, Alicia! We are dying to learn how Dr. Lois and Dr. Clark solved their fertility problem. Are you going to tackle that one? We'll be reading! Casey & Christine

Thank you Tricia, Irene, Wendy, Ursie, metwin1, meclone2 (I think the numbers look cool after your names, too ), Meni, Yvonne, Maria, Casey & Christine, and Merry for your comments! I am sorry that I've taken so long to respond. I am so, so grateful that you all are reading and enjoying this story. I love how Lois’s idea to start again backfired until eventually it took thoughts of Clark for both of them to realize what was happening. It shows their trust in Clark and what he thinks. Both Clark’s would definitely have thought that they were acting very childishly. Yay, that is exactly what I was trying to show. I am really glad that it came out. A lot of the time, when I write, things get stuck in my head and don't come out well. So I am really glad that this did! As the conversation grew, I could see the similarities increase by the second. And you did a terrific job of showing how competitive each was - not only in their chosen career, but both dying to compete with each other and win. So Lois! Again, that is exactly what I was trying to show! And thanks, Wendy, for fixing the TOC link. I wasn't paying attention when I was doing it - and it was about 3am to boot - so my mind obviously wasn't working Sorry about that, Melisma. It was just an honest mistake. I'm really sorry, but there is going to be a little delay in posing the next part. I've had a horrible week with a statistics project that I had to finish (with very little help from my group until I had to threaten them), so I haven't had a chance to get a lot of writing done. I know what I want to happen in the last couple of parts, but I just haven't had a chance to turn outline into writing. I hope to have the next couple of parts written over the weekend. But, on the happy side, I got a 4.0 this semester!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I'm a little happy
