A saddening commentary on the effects of the modern media culture and the paparazzi. Princess Di had it bad - I can only imagine that Superman has it worse! (On the other hand, he can fly away when he wants to...)

Nice take on Jimmy Olsen - that's different. And Lois's mother dying when Lois was ten - also different. Maybe that explains why Lois runs an art gallery and isn't a reporter?

Do you think Clark can get a second secret identity? Sounds like he needs one bad.

So Clark Kent is a virgin after all?

That's so well put.

He heh! (Can't help imagining Clark on the toilet, wondering what he'll be reading...)

Well, wow! Clark will be going camping with Lois and her friends! There have been some really good camping fics in this fandom. I'm very much looking forward to this one!

Ann

Good job! More soon. Laura

Oh, great part. An image of Clark on a jet ski whizzing across the lake popped into my mind. Let the fireworks begin!

Artemis

Ooh, a weekend at the lake. They had their first date in Smallville. The second one is on the first evening and the third one is Saturday night

Looking forward to what's happening next.

Michael

PS: They're soo cute together

Also looking forward to see how they interact with each other and friends at the lake

Can't wait for Part 4

oh i am sooo loving this fic!!! I can't wait to see Lois' friends reaction to her bringing Superman as a guest. Sooo awesome! PLEASE post #5 soon! I'm begging you.

Another awesome chapter! Like the other readers, I am so looking forward to the next chapter! Please post it soon!!

Cheers

Great story. You've created a very grounded Lois Lane, which is necessary in order to befriend a very hounded Clark Kent.

Looking forward to the next part.

Getting better with each chapter!

I liked his list of cars.

When I first read the list of cars, I thought, "Why in the name of Carroll Shelby does he have a dumpy old '51 Studebaker?!?" The last Studebaker I remember seeing on the road was a rusty old pickup straining to do forty on the Interstate. But then I googled it and found that the Land Cruiser and Champion were both excellent cars made that year by Studebaker, and either one of them would find a good home with Clark. Here\'s a page relating one person's adventure with a Land Cruiser (includes lots of pictures!) Cool-looking car.

Someone needs to throw some cold water on these two. They've only known each other a few days, and they're both practically tripping over their tongues and forgetting to breathe. Not a promising beginning for their long-term prospects. They need to slow down a little and get to know each other better. They each need to see the other lose their respective cool and hear the other say those eight magic words.

I have told my kids many times that if the person you're thinking about spending the rest of your life with has never said those words (or something equivalent) to you, either that person's not ready to be your life-long mate or you don't know each other well enough yet. Lois and Clark need to see each other in the worst light possible and still see the positive parts of each other.

And somehow, I think this weekend trip will provide some very real opportunities to do just that. Can't hardly wait to see what happens next.

i keep checking in for chapter five....

Yes this fic is that good that I keep checking for updates!!!

I was wondering if a new part is coming soon. I am really enjoying this story and want to read more.

Sarah

Yes, I would also like to see a new part soon since I am really enjoying this and would like to see what happens on their weekend away

Me too!

/raises hand/

Michael

Me three!

Artemis

Glad I'm not the only one! *raises hand again*

*peeks in to see if there is an update*


*sighs*

Just wondering what the status is. Hope all is well.
