LOL, nice one, Wendy! I was about halfway through before I twigged to who "he" probably was, or at least who he wasn't <g> Nice work. It's almost like a real story!

and again, Happy Birthday, Tank!

PJ

Cool!

gerry

Nice job, Wendy.

In her comments, Pam wrote,
Me too, Pam! And I'm a bit embarrassed to say that, considering I just finished reading and writing feedback on the "other" birthday story.

But before I realized exactly what you were doing, Wendy, I really liked this:

Because I don't think this is an aspect that has been touched on much in fanfic before. That Lois might have been harboring some deep secret hope that accepting Lex's proposal would force Superman to admit his love for her.

Certainly this has worked on mere mortal men more than once. And since Lois believed that she would love the ordinary man beneath the super powers, perhaps she at least fantasized about such a scenario...

But that's not the direction this story headed, is it? :rolleyes: But it was terrific, nonetheless, especially the promise about the hair...

Happy Birthday again, Tank!

Kathy

Well, I had a feeling from the beginning who "he" was going to be, but I still cracked up when I read "his" line:

I think the "as long as we don't have kids" part was what really did me in ... LOL, Wendy, nice!

Though I have to agree with KathyM about Lois's hope that Superman (or Clark, for that matter) would come to stop the wedding, declaring his undying love for her as he marched down the aisle to carry her away, is an interesting void in our fanfic ... hmm, maybe you have your next story in mind now. <bg>

Happy Birthday, Tank, round two!

Kathy

I was clueless till the end.

Loved the line about not having children.

James

Lol. From the first "he", I figured it was Tank and not Superman that she was thinking of. I wasn't too sure until I saw the ending, though. I loved how Lois couldn't get him out of her head. Tho I'm not sure Tank would ever crawl and beg. Great story, and I'm sure Tank's happy, even with the long hair!

Again, happy birthday, Tank.

I was clueless til the end as well.
Jen

Let's just say that considering what the story was for, I had my suspicions from the start as to who 'He' might be (or more accurately hopes).

There was one little flaw in the story though. Since I don't have any super hero double identity to hide, nor am I as stupid as Clark; there is no way in he -, er, heaven and earth that I'd ever turn down an affirmation of love from Lois Lane. (I'd have to think hard about one from Teri Hatcher as it's likely that she'll keep custody of 'the child').

Good ending though. I can accept the hair, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't try to change her mind.

Tank (who, on second thought, wonders if in this alternate universe he wasn't supposed to be Superman... no, the thought of him in tights is just too horrible to contemplate)

lol, Wendy!

Unlike others, who obviously know your tricks, you evil thing, you, I didn't get it until the very end. But it was still hilarious! Loved the part about the kids and the hair. So, did Tank reject her because she refused to cut her hair? *grin* Sounds very Tank-like to me. I guess he can live with it, if it means getting Lois (and no kids).

Nice work!

Hi,

Cute!

Can't type for laughing! I was clueless till the very last line, especially since I completely missed this line I think it's because I was simply reading it as Lois' thoughts in that ep, having completely forgotten who it was written for , and so I was assuming it was Clark. Tho I did wonder what had happend to the Krypontite cage...

Belated Happy Birthday, Tank.

Loriel

Good job, Wendy! Happy Birthday, Tank!

Irene

...And here I was reading innocently along, suspecting the person in question was Perry!

Nice one, Wendy! Hope Tank enjoyed.

Hazel

Good story... but "HE" was to obvious

Jose

Wendy

ROTFL!!

Tricia

Thank you, Hazel!

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one!

Loriel

WENDY!!!!!!!!!!!


Happy Birthday, Tank!

Kaethel

Just caught up Wendy
nice story
Happy Birthday, late Tank
merry

I just want to say thanks to everyone who commented on this little bit of silliness. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing, written in about 45 minutes once I realised that it was Tank's birthday and I thought I couldn't let my occasional writing partner's birthday go past without some sort of tribute. Glad you liked it, Tank!

As for why 'he' might have rejected Lois in the first place, well, who knows? Though I do like Sarah's suggestion that Lois might have refused to cut her hair and insisted that she wanted children.

KathyM said:
and KathyB also commented on it:
LOL!

But, yes, it is an intriguing approach, and is another possible way to explain Lois's crazy decision to marry Lex. Maybe she never really did think that she'd have to go through with it? Perhaps she was, even subconsciously, hoping that Superman would change his mind when confronted with, she hoped, feelings of jealousy.

Would I write a story based on that premise? Well, I wouldn't say no, but I do have several other WIPs which I need to get back to fairly soon, so I don't want to commit to anything - and I wouldn't want to stop someone else from using this premise in the meantime, either. If anyone else does want to run with it, feel free, though it'd be nice if you mentioned the source of the inspiration.

Hope you had a great birthday, Tank!
