Oh, this is so good! Thank you for the gift, this is wonderful! I was giggling all the way through it.

Aww, poor Lois. Ya know, there's always barging in his plans. But since you can't do that, this is a good alternative!

*cackle* If you're having problems the force-choke, then a hand choke will work just as well!

*giggle* That would be too funny.

Well, she *did* date Lex, so I guess that's close enough. But I have a feeling this would turn out much much better.

Wrong guy! Wrong guy! Compare him to someone else you know that's funny and dances well!!

Hrmph. Fine, then I will. :p Can't you just see it? Silly Lois.

And I love the conversation about their respective loves. I just wonder if Vader knows who Ms. Anthony is underneath? The fact that he's being close to her kind of seems that way... but you never know.

I can't wait for the rest of this!

BTW, someone needs to tell Lois that there's nothing wrong with Bing!

What a cute story so far. I couldn't figure out exactly what the PVC stuff was about at first, and then I rolled over laughing when I saw the Darth Vadar picture! I, too, wonder if Vadar knows who his dancing partner is...RAFO!

hi

This is a great story....I like it very much.
Please post the next part ASAP ´cause I can not wait for long.

Wendy,
This seems like a great little treat for this time of the year. I loved everything, the way you give the background to Lois suffering at a Christmas party, her choice of costume and her encounter with “Black PVC Guy”.

Here are some of the bits that made me LOL:
This is where I stopped copying so that I won’t end up quoting 70% of your post.

One thing I didn’t really understand, and this is very probably due to the late hour is:
I’m confused since if this refers to Clark’s declaration when Lois considered Lex’s marriage proposal I think the time frame should be about 6 months and if this refers to the start of Lois and Clark’s relationship it should be longer than a year.

But again, maybe it’s just me and my exhaustion.
Bring on part 2, like, now!
Avia

Hi,

Great start.

Ursie

Ooh, fun! Loved the witty banter -- although, Wendy, I suspect John helped you out a bit with the sci-fi geek stuff <g>

So... this guy is much too nice and, well, *sane* to be Lex, and not corny enough to be Scardino... So the big question really is, does he know who she is... and I can't really think that he doesn't.

Greatly looking forward to the next two parts!

PJ

Oh this is so much fun! Love the banter and them dancing so perfectly together. Um Lois? D'uh!

Oh a birthday fic for us December people! YAY! Thank you Wendy, what a wonderful birthday present. This is such a cute story! I am thinking that Darth knows exactly who she is, after all if Darth is Clark, he can sense her heartbeat and her smell, despite her mask. But I love that Lois is clueless and yet something in her senses that this guy is OK. Great job so far, I am looking forward to more soon. Laura

oooo boy that got me going. I love the part! I hope to see the next part soon.

Rach

Ditto Pam... John's hand is in here I don't see you as SW fan

Jose

This is just simply great! I'm still grinning like a fool.

Well, as to Darth Vader's identity... for a while I feared it was Scardino, then at the end... I just hope it's who I think it is. On the other hand, who will he be under the Darth Vader guise?

Gahhh! Please post soon the other two parts! I can't wait!

Sira -

Aww,sooo beautiful!
Thak you, Wendy
Sil

If Darth Vader's not Clark, I'll eat my hat. And if Clark doesn't know that Ms Anthony is Lois, I'll eat my scarf as well.

Very nice, Wendy, and a lot of fun. Kaylle did you proud with all that Star Wars stuff - unless you've been keeping a dark secret from us all.

So, now Clark knows that Lois is agonising about a man in glasses...hmmm. Only guy I remember in L&C who wore glasses was Clark himself. Ooh....

Thanks for remembering.

This story is so funny, but I can't stop thinking that if it isn't Clark and Lois.... this would be a huge twisted MLTV.. LOL Forgive me but my dark side is craving for something like that.

The woman was ugly by the way. I wouldn't be attracked to someone like that. And Darth... well... I like men wearing black

Wow! Thank you all very much indeed! I'm so pleased that you liked this first part! I loathe Star Trek with a vengeance. However, I have actually seen all three original SW films, two of them twice. So I know my Evil Empire from my resistance, and my R2D2 from C3PO. However, Kaylle was very helpful when I needed to check my somewhat fuzzy memory on a couple of things. As for the other SF references, I used to watch Doctor Who regularly (favourite Doctors were Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker ), and it's hard to live in the same house as an ST fan and not pick up a couple of references.

So... who is Darth?

LOL! Well, of course, he could be nobody at all that we know. He could really be a complete stranger, just the person Lois needs to make her forget Clark for a few hours and make her feel good about herself. And even give her a few kisses under the mistletoe to remember him by.

But, just on the offchance that it might be Clark...

No, you never know, do you, Karen? On the other hand, you may just be about to find out.

Ah, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? And just maybe there's a lesson to be learned about seeing beyond the external...

Avia asked:
Ah; I wasn't actually referencing a specific point in their relationship when I mentioned a year. When Clark told Lois that he loved her, she agreed that she had known. I'm simply going on the assumption that she'd known, or at least been vaguely aware, of his feelings for her for about a year, that's all.

Thanks, too, for all the giggles at the humour in this. It's still something I tend to feel that I'm not too good at, so it's always lovely to get some laughs. Much appreciated!!

Okay; well, since I promised an EOD schedule and since I'm being asked very nicely on IRC right now, Part 2 will be up in a couple of minutes.
