Well, I was prepared for a 'S' revelation after the mention of Star Labs but...

Apologies accepted . Are you kidding? This story's absolutely fantastic!!

Mary

ROTFL!!

Tricia

ROFLMAO!!!!

Keep these coming!


Wendy

Yep! Yep! this was hilarious, awesome! ridiculously great!!!! Well done!! and you had me giggling like a maniac, I'd like to laugh out loud, but I AM at work.

QOC you rock!!

TEEEEEJ

This was utterly hilarious, Mary. I'm having trouble stopping laughing, in fact!

As for this...



Thanks!

PJ

ROTFLMAO

Oh, Mary, that was priceless!! Thanks for sharing!!

Kaethel

ROTFLMAO! Very very cute little twist there Mary. LOL! Poor Lois. Laura

Mary- Very cute little story! I read it and laughed...then my stupid muse asked me (she's always butting in), "Well what happened during that time? What drove Clark to finally marry her?....." And she kept rambling. I guess what I'm saying is, if *your* muse wants to explore this more, I think it'd be a fascinating and wonderful story. Anyway, thanks for making me smile this morning!

Sara

Yeah this was a prominant question I had too, and I had all these visions of Lois constantly worshipping Clark and ambushing him in dark corners. I bet he was thinking she was the perfect wife.

HEE HEE

TEEEEEJ

Hi,

Beautiful and funny!

Can we have a sequel, please!

MAF

Cute...the pheromone ep is starting to be like TOGOM....new versions keep cropping up and they're all great!

SEQUEL SEQUEL

Absolutely hilarious! Brava!

Simona

P.S.:

Thanks, everybody!
I'm glad you all got a kick out of my story.

The good news is, YES you can have a sequel.

The bad new is, you have to write it yourselves.

Now now, don't look at me that way. I have quite a bit to do, what with writing One Strang Year and nagging Julie to post part three of Dude Where's My Cape!!!!!!!! Plus there's a trip I'll be going on soon... The list of excuses goes on.

So go ahead, either Round Robin it or just everybody post their own version of what happened. I'm just as curious as you are!

I'll go set this up in the challenge folder.

Thanks again for the comments!

Oh, God!

Keep them coming!!

THIS WAS HILARIOUS!!!


~Julia (still giggling )

Very amusing vignette. It was so well done that I didn't even mind that the punchline was a child.

Tank (who says if anyone ever brings up that he didn't mind a child in a story, he will vehemently deny it)

Mary!!!

Julie (who says next time you go into IRC, stay instead of nagging me in public and leaving <g>)

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Poor Lois. And soon -- poor Clark!

ROFLMAO!!!!

Loved this whole thing, Mary. So great! But that line especially, as it conjured up so many images of poor Clark being adored by Lois incessantly! Of course he would miss her. Perfect.

And the bagel rant, btw, was right on. There should be rules about that sort of thing.

Really clever, sharp, and fun, QoC. Love the tiny worlds you create so vividly in few words. Such a talent.

I know I'm late, but this was absolutely hysterical!! Great job, Mary. Once again you've sent me to rolling on the floor and now I'll be grinning for the rest of the day.

Thanks for sharing!!

Lynn

I'm late too - thanks to Wendy for directing my attention to this little gem. And

Not sure what I did to be honoured with a mention <g>, but thank you!

LabRat

I finally had a chance to read this last night. Oh man, what a shock to poor Lois! It would be really funny to see what led up to their getting married and why Clark did it. I can see him marrying her to protect her from herself! I hope someone can write it because I can't. I'm swamped at the moment.

Nan

Mary, that was great!! Makes me wonder though, just how long did Clark wait to give into Lois?

Caryn

Was just re-reading this tale on the archive. Delightful. Great fun.

Poor Lois! And poor Clark! Cute little tale!

An excellent story, as always.

I think my reaction was different from everyone else's. At first I, too, was laughing. But the more I thought about it, the sadder the story seemed to me -- Lois has obviously "lost" her memory of many years. She apparently doesn't remember her own child. She has apparently reverted to an older version of S1 Lois, meaning that either she'll be in a marriage that she doesn't want for the sake of a child she doesn't remember, or else she and Clark will get a divorce. Either way, life for all three parties will be seriously disrupted.

Although I'd like to think that seeing their child would bring back Lois' more recent memories and the follow-on to this story would be happy (i.e., unpheromoned Lois would realize that she really did love Clark and they would remain happily married), nothing in the story would lead me to believe this is the case. So once my initial laughter died down, the story actually made me sad. I am sure that that wasn't what the story was intended to do, and I appear to be in the minority for having this reaction. I know, I know: Never overthink comedy.

But even if my reaction was different from everyone else's, the story still left me thinking about it and feeling for the characters. And that is the mark of a well-written story. Brava.

Joy,
Lynn

Lynn-

I agree with you...

Clearly this is the mindset that throws down the gauntlet and "says here get out of this mess" .
