Still laughing about the last line. That was EPIC!

 Lots of fun, Mouse! Lois paced back and forth in her apartment, psyching herself up, letting some of her worry best her and show through in her mannerisms. The more nervous she seemed, the better chance of him listening to her, and the better the chance he'd actually show up to help. <<Face Palm>> Oh, Lois! No! "Yes, actually, Superman. It's... well, it's about Clark actually. I'm really worried about him Superman. We had a spat at work yesterday, and then he went off on some investigation by himself, and he was supposed to check back with me but then he didn't even make it in to work this morning and I haven't seen him since and I'm really scared that something might have happened to him and I can't find him and I don't know what to do!" Um... open your eyes... he's right there in front of you. "God, Lois. You haven't heard from him, either?" Priceless! Perry knows Clark's secret!  Suddenly Superman sped in front of her and blocked her path to the door. He placed a hand on her shoulder, staying her. "Uh, Lois, no."
Lois frowned at him. "What do you mean, 'no'?"
"Um, I mean no, you can't go find him." Well, she could, but she wouldn't find him while Superman's around.  Superman sighed and ran a hand through his hair, unconsciously loosening it from its usual look. "I lied. Um... Clark told me about your plan to pull a prank on me today, and I got the stupid idea to try and turn the tables on you and then you started in with your plan and... I just went with it."  Superman called himself stupid?! Lois looked floored, her mouth hanging open in surprise at his confession. She struggled for words a moment, searching for something to say to the man before her. "You... you lied to me?" Once or twice... or 47 times this week. "I didn't think as Superman that you were even capable of lying." ? What? She only thought he could lie to her as Clark Kent? Does she know?! Lois -1, Clark - 0? Suddenly she snapped her gaze up to his face, anger written clearly in her features. "Well then, take me to him, Superman. I'm not going to let you out of my sight until I find Clark again. It's been a terrible enough day as it is." She fought to choke back a small sob. Reap what ye soe, lassy. He took a deep breath before making his way to Clark's bedroom, trudging slowly, dragging his feet. Lois followed him in curiosity, watching as he pulled out a pair of Clark Kent's glasses from a drawer in his night table. He turned back to face Lois sheepishly and eventually slipped the glasses on his face. What? No spin! Darn, I was hoping for a spin reveal. She folded her arms tightly across her chest, squared her jaw and set her most fear-inspiring glare upon him. Clark-slash-Superman squirmed appropriately. "Do you have something you'd like to say for yourself, Clark?"
"Uh, April Fools?" Adorable! So, the story ends: Lois - 0, Clark - 0, Perry - 1? Perry wins! Great twist! Wait?! Cliffies? Was this a cliffy? Is there more? Mouserocks - 1!

I love that Perry knows Clark's secret. I always thought he knew on the show. After all, he didn't get to be a man in his position because he could yodel.

The more nervous she seemed, the better chance of him listening to her, and the better the chance he'd actually show up to help. Speaking of which... Nice try! "God, Lois. You haven't heard from him, either?" OMG! Loving slightly evil Clark! Superman nodded eagerly, crossing his arms across his chest to avoid any gestures that might be similar to his secret identity's. "He came to me yesterday, told me he was working on a story and that there were some risks involved. He asked that I keep an eye on him. I had to go stop a train collision for one minute, and the next thing I know, he's gone." "Good. Tell him if it takes him any longer to find Clark, I will personally be dealing with him, you got that?" Oooh! The wrath of Perry White! Lois frowned at him. "What do you mean, 'no'?" NO one tells Lois "no!" Ha! "I didn't think as Superman that you were even capable of lying." So...she knows? She sees how different his hair is now that he's messed it up? Suddenly a thought struck Lois, something that they hadn't yet addressed. "I still don't understand. If I was lying, and you were lying... then where in the world is Clark?" Bingo! "Well then, take me to him, Superman. I'm not going to let you out of my sight until I find Clark again. It's been a terrible enough day as it is." Oooohh! She DOES know! Emphasis on "Superman" proves it! Yup! Then it dawned on her- Superman looked a lot like Clark with those glasses on. Okay, so maybe she *didn't* know before.  She folded her arms tightly across her chest, squared her jaw and set her most fear-inspiring glare upon him. Clark-slash-Superman squirmed appropriately. "Do you have something you'd like to say for yourself, Clark?"
"Uh, April Fools?" Brilliant! Great little story. Poor Clark is going to *get it* from Lois! NOT the best way to make the reveal, Clark.

Lynn, MrsLuthor, and Laurach: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the story so much! Lara: Clark is a miracle worker, though: He manages to stick his foot in his mouth while simultaneously shooting himself in the foot.  I thought you might. He can't help it that he has no filter when it comes to Lois. All he can think of is how much she must care for Clark. Oooh! The wrath of Perry White! Hell hath no fury like a pissed off boss who is far too heavily invested in his employees' lives...  So...she knows? She sees how different his hair is now that he's messed it up? Nope. Not yet. Oooohh! She DOES know! Emphasis on "Superman" proves it! Sorry for confusion. No, still no knowledge. I believe I fixed one of those on ff.net. Great little story. Poor Clark is going to *get it* from Lois! NOT the best way to make the reveal, Clark. Thanks! And yes. Hell hath no fury worse than Perry White unless you are Mad Dog Lane (who just got fodder to beat you over the head with).

Lois suddenly paled at the superhero's admission. She managed to croak out a small, "What?" Ah, so I guess Lois will be the victim of Superman's prank instead of the other way around. I felt a little sorry for Lois, but then again, she is the one who started all of this. What comes around goes around... Lois didn't understand what he was doing or why he was doing this at first. Why would he want to wear Clark's glasses? How did he even know where Clark kept his spare glasses? I must admit it. This part made me laugh out loud. "Do you have something you'd like to say for yourself, Clark?"
"Uh, April Fools?" [/qb] Perfect ending! Overall, good job. I really enjoyed it. There were some funny moments, and that was also a great way to do the reveal.

 This is Lois. She doesn't need kryptonite. She would find a way. DingDingDing! We’ve got ourselves a winner!

I felt a little sorry for Lois, but then again, she is the one who started all of this. What comes around goes around... Unfortunately, Lois is not one to buy into karmic justice. The world is out to get her and it's everybody else's fault. I must admit it. This part made me laugh out loud.

"Silly Lois. Clark's not missing. He just asked me to distract for a while so he could go shag a D.A. It really was the perfect plan. On April Fools Day, too!" And thus Clark vanishes into shallow grave. And what, pray tell, is so wrong with that method? It keeps her from getting properly ticked off? You get to decide the fate of Clark Kent!

Loved the conclusion! At first I was a little sorry that Lois didn't know Clark's other identity previously but the outcome was so much better this way! "Yes, actually, Superman. It's... well, it's about Clark actually. I'm really worried about him Superman. We had a spat at work yesterday, and then he went off on some investigation by himself, and he was supposed to check back with me but then he didn't even make it in to work this morning and I haven't seen him since and I'm really scared that something might have happened to him and I can't find him and I don't know what to do!" Lois is quite the evil genius.  Lois blinked. "Run that by me again?"  Lois' saint fell down from the altar. Bad Superman, bad. Indeed. Her eyes widened and her jaw came unhinged as all of the pieces finally fell into place. "Cla- Wha--?"
He looked to his feet ashamedly, before glancing back up at her fury-filled face. "Um, hi Lois." "Do you have something you'd like to say for yourself, Clark?"
"Uh, April Fools?" Brilliant!!
