A short story I thought up when I read Queen of the Capes' August Pratfalls and Spills Challenge. Feedback, as always, is appreciated.

 I could just picture that ending scene and, more-so, Clark's rematch cheer, coming up the following Monday.  I don't know why Lois would want Clark to clean her apartment in a dress, unless she happened to have Jimmy and Perry "drop by" while he was cleaning. And if she was supervising (which would be the only reason to have him do it in a dress), he couldn't even clean at super speed. I'm supposing that Lois would choose the dress, which means that they would have to go "shopping" for said dress, since he certainly couldn't fit into one of hers. That in itself might be the actual punishment, especially if Jimmy and his camera just happened to stop by that second-hand store while they were shopping. I'm glad Lois decided to be a good-sport about losing. Why do I think that this might end up being the only time Clark wins at game they ever play? Yep. He's dead meat.

LOL! Thanks for a good giggle.

A perfect ending to a cute story! OK, I wanna know, did Clark use his powers for the rematch or not?

Nice and silly. I admit, though, that I wanted Clark to lose. I was looking forward to Lois checking him out in a dress.

As for Clark using his powers, I think he's too good of a guy to cheat after Lois was such a good sport about the first match. Originally posted by mrsMxyzptlk: Nice and silly.

During a boring weekend, Lois and Clark make a bet with embarrassing stakes for the loser. Ooooooh!  Michael

Of course he wouldn't. Thanks for the feedback.
