Here we go! Lois' take on the events at the bowling tournament. Hope it answers everyone's questions!

I have to say that I liked Lois's version of the events more than Clark's. His was more bowling-centric and her's seemed more focused on their relationship.

I, too, had thought it was the left-handed eating thing which gave Clark away. I'm a bit surprised it was his 'groaning in frustration' face, which I have to say he really needed to practice in front of a mirror or with his folks to have Superman come up with one of his own.

You had Lois's voice down pat, with all of her nuanced competitiveness and making excuses to herself for her Superman obsession. Superman should have known better than to sign up for an event where Lois would be able to focus on his alter-ego for hours at a time picking up on every detail.

I'm a bit surprised that Lex would sponsor a bowling contest of all things. Even for charity, I could never picture Lex Luthor entering a bowling alley unless it was at the White House, and *then* only if he was president and he was pointing out things to get rid of. If someone asked me to pick out 10 fictional celebrities at a bowling competition, I doubt Superman, Lex, or Bruce would have been in my top 50. They all were out of the element, like fish out of water, but you made it work. Bravo!

I do have to say that Bruce better watch out. Lois's rose tinted glasses are off and she'll be focusing on him next (well, after Lex).

This was nice. I especially liked the ending.

^^Gotta agree with pretty much everything Virginia said.

Loved it! First of all, I loved that you pretty much posted them at once, so no long wait. And secondly, I loved to see Lois' perspective of everything. Her thought process on why he hadn't told her the truth after she'd figured it out-- and even the realization that both Clark and Superman had a dislike for Lex-- very well done!

Fantastic. Loved it. Thank you for posting Lois' part quickly.

Now what I really want is to see then conversation back at the apartment ... and I hope it is WAFFy.

Yay! The Lois version! Poor Clark. He has no idea how much trouble he’s in. While he’s struggling to bowl as a crowd of people watch him, he’s oblivious to what Lois had discovered and what is going through her mind.

I enjoyed seeing the story from Lois’ perspective and seeing how she discovered Clark’s secret and how she dealt with it until she was able to confront him with what she had learned.

What a fun story. It sounds like Superman's game went about the same as my last one.

I've got to ask, though, is it actually unusual to eat with one's left hand? I can see Lois noticing that he uses a knife and fork opposite of what's common, but just eating chips? Do you guys eat finger foods with your right hands to the point that it would be unusual to pick up chips with your left?

They were both cute! I missed the totally nfic-centric brainstorming, though lol



Don't worry, folks, it wasn't much. Just follow Clark's...bowling ball into the gutter and you'll join us.

Hi, Virginia!

I liked it better too. It was more fun to write.

Hehehe! My evil plan worked! Poor Clark never even thought about his "frustrated" face.

Why, thank you! Such high praise.

I can totally see Lex barely glancing at things, pointing. "Toss that, lose those, put my Venus de Milo arms there."

And thanks again!

I actually considered playing with that!

Thanks so much!

Thanks for stopping in. I loved crafting Lois' thought process and letting her figure out why Clark hadn't told her the truth.

Thank you! I was glad that I was able to get it up quickly. (My girls were super fussy last night, so I was sure it wasn't going to happen.)

I haven't written the conversation back at the apartment. I hadn't really planned to. But I'm sure Lois was very understanding, after seeing all those rabid fans.

Poor Clark indeed! Trying to save face in front of all those people when he's sort of lost face in front of the one person he cares about the most. Poor Lois too. I must have taken a superhuman effort to be so patient to wait until the tournament was over.

Thank you! I wouldn't say it's super unusual o eat with the opposite hand, but everyone I know tends to eat with their dominant hand, even when it's only finger food. So, I figured (especially with Lois being a great and hopefully observant reporter) it could be fun if she noticed it and used it to put the final pieces together.

You know, that line was only put in there for you (and Lori). And thank you.

Me too! I wonder how much Lois will make him squirm.

Well, I put the request in with my muse. She opted for a different, longer fic at the moment.

I'm sure Lois will make Clark squirm. Even if she did give him that small reassurance at the end there.

Hi Vicki! And now for the flipside…
Awwwww

Bad Clark.

Something to do with her wanting Superman to score?

Well, it’s *his* fault when he leaves the chocolate desert unattended.

Funny how Lois and Clark view his accomplishments differently

CLARK: Well, you’re not the one sitting through endless charity events, hoping a plane would suddenly fall from the sky.

Blonde date?

Michael

Hiya, Michael!



Lois: No, I just do that during Perry's meetings.

<Lois considers dying her hair.>



Speaking of - Why isn't George RR Martin allowed on Twitter?........Because he killed all 140 characters!

Methinks I see Martha with a bar of soap and a pissed off look...

Ssssh! Don't tell!

Hey Lois - two words for you. White. Towel.

Or engaged...

Clark: <grumbles and pulls out wallet>

Thank you!

Michael

These were such fun! I read the synopsis and thought, "Uh...what?" but I very much enjoyed the stories! I was so afraid for Clark after finishing his POV piece, so I was much relieved to read Lois's and find out that she's a lot more sympathetic than she let show!

I love that you mentioned Clark's library books in his piece -- and how he put them where he could see them easily so he wouldn't forget them. Made me think of his excuses to leave suddenly, and how maybe they weren't entirely fictionalized! I also liked that he had to work at not being starstruck as Superman -- that's something I hadn't considered!

I love how Lois's thought process went on hers, too, how she wanted Clark to be there, how she noticed Superman's aversion to Luthor and connected it to Clark's, and then how she thought the 'two men' were rubbing off on each other, and then as she figured it out, I did love how her own thoughts led her to rebuttals of her first reactions -- so well done, and I was able to flow from one to the next without any trouble at all.

Fun stories with lots of nice little details and perceptions thrown in!

OMG! Anti-K is back!

****hugs****

Thanks! That was the whole point in posting Clark's first. I thought it would be more fun to hold off on revealing Lois' thoughts until we already knew that she knew.

Thanks again. I thought it might be fun to make Clark a little starstruck. After all, he's incredibly human, even if he DID come from another planet. But Superman can't let on to his human side. I also like to think that Clark didn't always lie about his whereabouts - that if he said he needed a new toothbrush he might actually go and buy one.

So glad to hear this! My confession - Lois' piece was the more fun of the two because of her train of thought as she figured out that Clark and Superman are one and the same.

Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed them!
