Oooooh! Second trip to the Honeymoon Suite? Provided that the Lexor wasn’t sold to the Church Group.

I’m sure he knows.

That’s where the shaking and the dangling from a rooftop usually come in.

Ooooooooh!

Ooooooh! Another island!

Well, if she hasn’t realized by know that he’s not the smartest alien on the planet, she really is galactically stupid.

Oooooh! /heads over yonder/

Maybe they need to uuuuummm get it out of their system?

Maybe if she used her lockpick set? Or if she just shares the room with Clark after all, now that she has forced him to splurge?

Jackpot! Ummm…

Awwwww

They have indoor plumbing?


Relationships are like the cold war, once you let loose of the a-bomb, it’s all over.

Yeah, what’s with that? She sure is getting soft on her old days.

Yes. He’s quite satisfied with the way he was able to ensure your saftety.

Now, who else do we know with that trait?

Only by fully dressed Loises.

Oh dear. What if a tsunami comes with the high tide?

Why not? It sure would get his attention

Is the message “I want to make up. So take me. Take me now.”?

Right. He’s such a darn good guy. She never did slap him, did she?

I’m not convinced the door would survive Lois after that.

Much safer. Unless makeup sex in a cramped hallway is to be preferred.

/imagines a doe in rut/

Yes. He’s just too shocked to know what to do. Right now, he’s trying to decide whether to get out the holy water or x-ray your ankle.

Oooooh! Ooooooh!

Well…if things escalate he won’t dare to break up again. Lois would tell Martha, and Martha would pull down his britches and tan his hide like cheap leather.

My turn to make Sue's inbox sing!

I thought at first that Lois seemed more harsh (unduely harsh) than I remembered her being (feeling) at the end of Irish Eyes (and /or beginning of Noah), but having taking another look at the episode, I realize that you hit the right note. Clark had hurt her badly at the end of Contact and she's still reeling from it. You always seem to catch the emotional stride of Lois and drag us down into the quicksand with her (pardon my horrible analogy).

I always felt that Clark deserved another chance at the end of Irish Eyes, but he HAD hurt Lois and she was right to be wary of him hurting her again. After every thing they went through with Scardino, freezing her, and her almost getting killed (pick one), I can see why they're both scared. You show Lois's motivations and feelings clearly here, more so than canon did, and at first I was worried I wasn't going to have enough tissue in my house to make it to the end of your story. Please thank your characters for me for insisting that you end your story on a more hopeful note.

I understand that your Clark is feeling a bit over-exposed at the moment, so I completely understand him shutting the door between him and Lois and the Readers... no matter how disappointed we might feel about that. Sometimes a bit of mystery does us good.

I feel it's totally in his character to have lied about the ferry schedule to try and force some alone time with Lois. I'm glad he admitted it to her though... eventually.

No, I doubt Clark would have expected them to share a room. He's a good moral man, and though he is attracted to Lois (VERY attracted) he's less likely to *think* making up with Lois would mean she would tempt him to lose his v... very patient status. (Although he'll be the first to admit that it was a very nice bonus indeed.)

Or she could have suggested that he fly them both back in the morning. But, of course, that would defeat the point of this story.

I'm sure Clark could fly himself back to the mainland for the night and come back for her in the morning, if they only had one room.

I wonder if a part of Clark misses his secret identity status with Lois, when she didn't know he was Superman and could wisk her home if they got stuck on an island... and he would have a legitament excuse for not flying her home.

LOIS: So, that's a 'yes' I take it?

Michael, it's Lois, not Clark, who says this line... so totally in character with her and her upbringing.

Wouldn't it irk her more if he took the room with the better view? This is a lose/lose argument. She's going to find fault in everything he does, isn't she?

Umm... Didn't Clark already admit that he was wrong at the end of Irish Eyes?

I'm sure he won't complain, if he can get a conherient word out of his mouth.

Nope, just another reminder of what Clark gave up by breaking her heart at the end of Contact.

Clark?

Duh! I was apparently so much into CLARK-mode that I just kept extrapolating. Michael
