Yep--Real life finally let down a bit to let me post this. Would love to hear from you.


Barb.

Yay! You used one of my all-time-favorite movies.

I have really strong memories of watching it on TV with my parents when I was six . . . <cue TZ theme >

<happy sigh> This is one of my favorite lines. And it gets through to Lois, too -- way to make a line I've always loved resonate more!

Yeah, what she said

This was very sweet, Barb, and a nice improvement on the episode <g>

PJ

Beautiful!

AnnaBtG.

Very nice, Barb.

It's amazing how many classic movies and books have similarities to L&C. I guess it just shows that L&C have a classic love story -- and this type of story is a classic for a reason, because it's so wonderful and timeless.

Thanks for posting! Glad real life let go for a few minutes.

Kathy

Beautiful and sweet, Barb.

I have to say that The Sound of Music was never one of my favourite movies - it was a favourite of my mum's and I guess I got force-fed it every holiday for too many years.

But it fits in very nicely here.


LabRat

Hey Barb

I can't do anything but agree with what everybody else said <g>

Sweet story, loved the Barb-touch with the scene from the Sound of Music and I'm glad you finally had the time to post it <g>.

As I told you, Sound of Music is one of my favorite movies, the first movie I wanted to see over and over again And it fits nicely into this story..

Thanks for writing this!

Laswa

Hi,

Great story.

Ditto Barb, sweet story. It really worked.

Thanks for elaborating that the lines were a combination of movie and stage play because as I was reading, I was thinking ...."I don't remember that".. but these lines worked great, wish I'd seen the stage version

I'm with the others here Barb.
Beautiful and sweet

Yeah, what they said. This was beautiful and sweet. Nice revelation too. Maybe I should go see Sound of Music soon, for the very first time.

Saskia

Awww Barb that was so amazing, sweet, romantic and cute....I could go on forever describing how much your story touched my heart. I loved it very much and I'm glad you took some time to post something so beautiful as this story.

I wasn't feeling well today but you warmed my life with this. Thank you

I hope to read more from you soon

Raquel

Very cute, Barb. I too love The Sound of Music, so this was a great way for Lois to realize what she is doing wrong.

I have to add this though:

You should have seen me when I saw the comments folder for this story. My jaw about hit the floor. I was certain that I'd somehow managed to repost my story in my stupor today (four hours of sleep in the last 36 will do that to a person <G>). About a year and half ago, I wrote an nfic story When One Door Closes. Over the last couple of weeks, I've been tearing it apart and rewriting it as a pg story.

My confusion was only deepened when I opened your story file and saw that the stories begin with the exact same scene. Luckily it only took a couple of paragraphs for me to realize that the stories are vastly different, otherwise who knows how long it would have taken me to get over my confusion. <G>

Annie

Lovely, Barb!

I really liked the way Lois realized the extent of her feelings. It's amazing how many stories you can find out there that resemble that of Lois and Clark.

Apart from the movie bits, I specially liked this paragraph:

Haven't we all felt like that at some point!

Hope real life gives you a break more often (you do have to finish SPIV... )

Cris

Very nice, Barb! I loved seeing Lois run to find Clark once she realised that she'd made a mistake. And for once Clark did something sensible!


Wendy

Barb

A lovely story!

A great idea to use the Sound Of Music!
I love the revelation.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful vignette.

Tricia

Thanks everyone!!!!

Our theatre group did the Sound of Music last summer and yes, there are some differences between stage and movie versions, but the classic love story remains as does Lois and Clark's which is why all of us continue to write about it -- it is timeless.

Hey Annie, hurry up and redo yours -- I'd love to read it.

And Labby, your mum sounds cool!!!! I force fed my children on certain movies and plays and one of them wound up in professional theatre while just the other one sort of resents me.

Again, thanks everyone for the nice words.

Barb.

Hey, I'm late

Cute story, Barb

Jose

Cute little twist of the episode, sending them both faster to the part where they finally can say, "I do." Funny how you let Lois's rambling take out on Superman!

Fabulous!

The Sound of Music is one of my favorites! My sister laughs at me still because I bought the stage play from Barnes & Noble in the rare book section. It definitely works better than the movie itself for LnC here.

Jen

Aw sweet story. Laura

Barb, this is lovely! Count me in with those who've loved The Sound of Music since childhood, so I was rather taken aback when I'm reading these lines that the Captain is saying. That's not in my copy wails through my head. Thanks for your explanation at the end, by the way, otherwise it might have driven me crazy. Your additions to the movie would have been really nice, too.

I love the way that Lois starts telling her feelings to Superman, because Clark is the one that she is so confused about. And, as Rivka mentioned, I really like all the doors - both real and metaphorical for both of them. And the revelation was very nice indeed.

Very sweet. Thanks so much for posting it.

Lovely story, Barb!

I love "Sound of Music." As a big fan of musicals, this was one of my favorites.
