Reviews here, please! Make my day. Also, yes, I know the timeline's a little bit off, since I'm fairly sure that Individual Responsibility takes place after Daylight Savings time changes... but just go with it.

Very cute and delightful - a great way to start my morning!

Hi Mouse,

Welcome back!

Very entertaining! So apropos to the season since we just did the time change.

Looking forward to more from you.

Welcome back, Mouse! We've missed you.

So...date night?

<nods>

Okay, so not *quite* the date night I was thinking of.

Too many layers if they want to get...frisky?

That too.

Six minutes to fly to her place? But...he can make Hawaii in *two* minutes.

Clark: That's because it was my honeymoon and I was *really* tired of being a v...very patient man.

No super speeding up the steps? Too afraid of getting caught?

Ain't that always the way?



I kind of figured but


What a fun little way to start my day! Thank for that. And again, welcome back!

Aw, Cute! Personally, I'm a fan of Daylight Savings. Like Clark here, I find it improves my day's timing immensely ^_^ (well, in the fall )

This was hysterical! I kept wondering if Lois was going to be upset because Clark was late for their date yet again. But she surprises everyone (including Clark) by being late...er early. Oh rats, you know what I mean...

Nicely written!

Welcome back Mouserocks!

Mouse, I'm glad you were able to channel your RL woes into your writing and not have it be all angsty.

This story was fun. I love Clark counting down every minute he was late only to have Lois open the door not even half-dressed!

Thanks for the chuckle!

I have to say this was a fun story, but I can't help pointing out it does not really work with the chronology of the show.

By the time daylight savings time ends Lois knows Clark's secret.

Well, I did find it fun, so I will try to say it belongs in some alternate universe. An alternate universe where Clark was smart and started dating Lois early second season. Hmm, I think that works.

Thanks for the smile. I always enjoy a light-hearted story involving a squirming Clark.

IIRC, this could even be a belated response to a challenge. I know I wrote a story about daylight savings time in response to a challenge; let me go look...

Ah, yes. Here\'s the link to the challenge.

Thanks everybody! Feels pretty good to be back! Despite the fact that I'm still operating at high stress levels... Not enough time to comment extensively, but I'll get back to it, I swear!

Very cute! I don't care that their DST doesn't match ours -- it's a cute, fun vignette and if we can believe a man can fly, we can believe they change their clocks at a different time than we do.

The funny thing is, I was all set to give Lois a hard time. Here Clark has been on time for weeks, and the one time he's a little late, she decides to "teach him a lesson" by changing back into her robe and refusing to go out because he didn't show up on time. At least that was my theory until you showed how clever you were!

Welcome back, Mouse!

Oh boy. A take on that date-ep from the end of Season 2?

So, he’ll be there at seven o’two?

So, taking it off is like having that little foil package in his wallet?

Oh? Running late, too?

She wearing ‘more-than-a-date-tonight’ wear?

Ooooh! And somebody should explain things to Clark there…
