Anna,

This was so nice! Being a birthday present for Jana (Happy Birthday, Jana!), it is fitting that Jack be the one who comes up with the plan.

I *loved* Clark's reaction!! He knows right away what Jack is up to. So funny as he shakes his head and wonders what Jack thought the outcome would be (they kiss? declare their undying love? LOL). And then the best part... Clark decides who is he to look a gift horse in the mouth? Go, Clark!! smile1

You also gotta love Lois. Suspicious from the start, but ever willing to "play the fool" if it means breaking a story.

And then the touch of hands. Clark obsessing over what to do next was classic! thumbsup

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading this. Anxiously awaiting Part 2...

Yes, what Vicki said smile This was really sweet. But, but... they went home separately! That wasn't right wink I guess you'll just have to post part 2 to fix everything <g>

This was lovely, Anna, and is shaping up to be a really cute little vignette. There were lots of great lines and a nice sense of atmosphere.

but if everything kept going according to his plan, Lois and Clark would be lovebirds faster than he could shoplift a Twix bar.

I loved this. And I can't wait to find out what the rest of Jack's plan entails and what Lois' revenge will be.

Don't let us hanging too long, k?
And ditto all the others

A wonderful start! goofy

I'm looking forward to reading the next part. smile

Happy Birthday, Jana! party

Tricia cool

Yay, I get a birthday fic! Thank you, Twinnie! blush smile1 It is the perfect present. I just love Jack. (For anyone who didn't remember!) And, as Vicki pointed out, a Jack story is perfect for me on my birthday. That's my Jack, always one step ahead of everyone else. laugh

Had she reached for the popcorn at the same time on purpose, or was it just a coincidence? Did she think that he had done it on purpose? Had she even noticed that they had touched? Did she care? What should he do next? Should he go in for the popcorn again? Or wait a while? Or just leave it entirely alone for the rest of the night?
<g> Weren't we just talking about this? This is perfect! Guys overanalyze things too, it's not just the female gender that does it! And poor Clark, I can see his mind racing wildly as he tries to answer all the questions swimming in his head. He should have just taken her hand!! (I'm definitely with Wendy on that one!) smile

And then...
Quote
What had happened? What were these thoughts running through her head? Why was she suddenly having these feelings? Why was she picturing herself curled up, content in Clark’s arms? Why was she wishing that he had taken her hand when it had brushed his? Why was she so confused?
Awwww! That's the perfect image for her to be having-- being in Clark's arms. C'mon, Lois, you know you want it!

I think my favorite line though was

He didn’t know what had gone on inside the theater, or what exactly was going through their heads, but if everything kept going according to his plan, Lois and Clark would be lovebirds faster than he could shoplift a Twix bar.
rotflol That's Jack all right. Only he could use that comparison so innocently. Yummy Twix. Too bad I can't have any.

Now, Twinnie, you'd better fix things and get it all worked out. And hurry up about it! (I'm nothing if not patient.) wink

And thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. blush I appreciate it! party

Jana (who is now able to rent a car and believes that this is the last significant birthday until that "Over the hill" mark.)

Aw this was such a sweet story. I also loved the hands brushing part and all the thoughts that went on in both afterwards. By the way was it a love story they saw? More soon. laura
Posted By: RL Re: FDK: Dating By Deception 1/2 - 09/10/03 07:21 PM
Yay! Jack's got a scheme to put our favorite couple (well, almost couple) together finally. And not a word's mention of Lex Luthor. Instead, Lois is thinking all about how Clark makes her tingle in a very nice way and wonders how it would be to be his girlfriend, cuddling on the couch and doing other fun things.

But of course, no plan works immediately. The two lunkheads head home separately. Let's see what Jack has cooking in Part 2.

Nice job, Anna! thumbsup

Hi everyone! Thank you for reading and commenting on this story. I really appreciate hearing what everyone thinks. laugh

He certainly is, Jana! I'm really glad you enjoyed this, and I hope the rest of your birthday celebration was great! I know I had fun for the parts I was there for. laugh

Thanks Labby! I'm glad you liked it. blush laugh

By the way was it a love story they saw?
Well, I never really said what movie they saw. When Jack talked to Clark about it they were going to see a sci-fi movie, but maybe I'll put something more specific into the final draft before I send it to the archive. Thanks for the great question, Laura! It keeps me on my toes.

You've got that right, Jose!

Thanks, Wendy, Vicki, and Laura. I'm glad people liked this part cause I was a little nervous about how it would turn out. smile

Well, I hope I'm not lynched for this, but... part two isn't exactly written yet. I've got it all plotted and about half written, so I'm close, but it's not quite done. Don't fret too much though, I should have it up here within a couple of weeks.

Again, thanks to everyone who read and/or commented on the story; it really makes my day!

I love it! I can't wait for the next part. I love what Jack is doing. smile1

I'm glad Roo brought this to the top ... it's been six weeks, Anna. Any hope of seeing part 2? Pretty please? smile

Or has it been posted and I just missed it?

Kathy
Posted By: BanAnna Re: FDK: Dating By Deception 1/2 - 10/31/03 08:33 AM
Wow! Thanks for asking! I thought everybody had probably forgotten about this story, but I'm excited to find that people are still waiting for it. smile1

Part two hasn't been posted, but it has been written; I'm just waiting to hear back from my (wonderful!) BRs. It took me a lot longer to write than I thought it would, but won't be too much longer, I promise. laugh

Well, there are two of them who still have the story and they know who they are so if you feel the need, you can nag them right here. smile

/me adds her nag to the list, then goes back to nursing school stuff, which is what has kept her away and will, unfortunately, continue to do so until December.
