Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: The Wedding Pact - Being in Love (15/18)

Comment away please.

I've made it on holiday and am now safely in Wales, looking after a beautiful house, two cats and lots of ducks and ducklings for a friend. Had a little trouble getting the laptop to connect to the wireless, even though nothing has changed since last year! But it's all sorted now.

Next update will be Wed.

I love this semi-Seinfeldish part. "Seinfeldish" because nothing much happens, but only "semi-" because, unlike that show, it was wonderfully WAFFy.

Incidentally, I like Lois' change in nickname for Clark.

Enjoy your holiday, and a double thanks for keeping your posting schedule during your time off.

Joy,
Lynn

Oh, dear. I see some trouble in paradise. I guess Lynn is more of a glass half-full person than I am.
Instead of accepting that Clark is Clark who sometimes dresses up and acts like Superman, she's started thinking that Clark is more of an act than Superman is. He better set her straight and soon.

Clark Kent can't be romantic and buy her flowers because someone might associate him with Superman? (Clearly, *she* isn't ready to tell people. She's also forgotten that her co-workers are just as trained reporters as she and Clark are and knew about their relationship long before Lois and Clark did.)

Oh, Lois! The only people who get to see Clark in his underwear are a) himself, b) his folks (only on a rare occasion and probably not for many years), and now possibly c) you (if you play your cards right).

Clark Kent was angry at bad movie hero stereotypes?

Lois and Clark need to get to know each other a lot better before their engagement can become official. I'm hopeful that she thinks of their relationship as "it", but since she seems to not know him any more than she knew Superman, they still have a while to go.

How could they've been waiting 8 years when they've only started dating? This was like their, what?, second date? I know this will never happen, but Lois needs to start following Clark's lead on this. He seems to know more what they need than she does.

Can't wait to see the next catastrophe that you'll bring up in the next part. Will Clark Kent open his eyes and see that Lois still doesn't see the real him?

Yes, Virginia, I am definitely a glass-half-full person; I need such an attitude to raise a son with multiple severe disabilities and not sink into a deep depression.

I had noticed the things you are pointing out, but given that there are only three more parts to the story and given that this is a RomCom, I figure that these are just, as Victoria herself put it, bumps and not mountains to be overcome. Now, if you were the author and if I knew that there were 50 more parts of the story left, I could see easily see Lois and Clark breaking up (at least for a time) because of her misconceptions. As it is, I just foresee a serious discussion ahead of them -- probably ending with some serious WAFF and possibly interspersed with a pinch of levity.

I guess we'll know more on Wednesday.

Joy,
Lynn

Thanks. Yeah not much happened, but it was supposed to be WAFFy because they are 'being in love'.

Good

I've got to keep myself occupied on holiday somehow!!!! I'm still not fully/easily mobile, so it's a 'rest' holiday and I'm just sitting here with not much to do.

No! Be positive, be positive.

He does, he will. They had a laugh about this immediately.

Lois hasn't quite got it, but Clark DID tell her that he only makes 'slight' adjustments as Clark straight after this.

She was referring to his underwear on the outside, when the whole world sees him, plus the rest of the skin tight suit gives the impression of only wearing underwear!

No, not angry, just disappointing and amused.

Don't worry so much. She does know him, very well, she just hasn't merged the two halves yet, she's only known for about three hours, and she's currently testing the water as to what is 'Clark Kent-ing' and what isn't.

She's looking back over their whole friendship, now, and wondering if they haven't - kind of - been dating all along, and so that means they've been waiting for 'intimacy' for 8 years. She's considering whether they've been dating for a week, or for 8 years.

As with all relationship that move from friendship to romantic there is a time where you get to know each other as you haven't before, but I'm not going into this, and you can presume that it won't take too long for Lois to come to terms with this new 'Clark Kent'.

I'm a glass half-full too, my hubby is half-empty. The amount of times I've argued with him that a positive outlook on life is more productive, and he argues back that I'll always be disappointed in life. I'm never disappointed when things don't go as well as I expected - CAUSE I HAVE A POSITIVE VIEW OF LIFE! He just can't get that!

Yep. Just an amusing bump, and she adjusts pretty soon (in off-screen).

at the thought of Virgina tackling this! 18 parts is enough for me!

Very little seriousness to come. More comedy and lightness and WAFF, with a pinch seriousness because there are some important questions to come.

Yup, Wednesday.

Let me guess, Lois would have preferred to go play paint ball or any other activity that subsequently requires getting cleaned up in a joint shower back home?

U-huh…

LOIS: Umm…I have…a…meeting. With a source. Yes. A meeting with a source!

No, he really is a dorky sop

Their first fight as a couple. Will they then kiss and ‘make up’?

And now their relationship is over.

Clark & Lois: What do you mean ‘a fight doesn’t equal a break up’?

CROOK: You should have seen Superman when he caught me with my hands on the baby’s lollypop.

He has eaten something that didn’t go down well and now needs to visit the little superhero’s room?

LOIS:



Oh boy. Tez?

LOIS: So…let me get this straight. You got those flowers from the floor after you damaged some marketplace stand and didn’t want them to go to waste?
CLARK:
LOIS: I see… Well, *next* time, damage a Fudge Castle instead!

All the other women at the office would start to want some Clark themselves?

See?



Yes, but nobody would think Superman as a romantic.
FLOWER GIRL: He took all the discarded roses

I’m sure red Kryptonite could take care of that.

Like…female reporter got mugged but saved by her partner leading them to fall in love?

Oh boy. Maybe someone should suggest that Clark must have had plenty of ‘experience’ in his bachelor days and how could she possibly measure up?

How about with a goodmorning-kiss?

She’d get him through this. Together they could weather this movie. It’s not *that* bad. They *will* survive!



So, apparently not.

Hey! I'd get bored writing a story without angst or twists. I'm sure can keep Lois and Clark blissfully in love without any relationship angsty hiccups, but I'd probably have to have one of them kidnapped or get amnesia in the process.

Anyway, back to this story and author, Lois has a tendency of not listening to what Clark's saying (or misunderstanding it) and KK has a reputation (cough, cough "Doodles") of twists, and saying one thing to throw us readers off the scent of her plots, so you never know where either of them might go! I stand on my glass half-empty prediction for future cliffhangers in this story. (Don't worry, I won't hold it against you, KK, if I turn out to be wrong.)

Nope. No source is gonna interrupt this.

Well, Lois has not quite figured out which is Clark and which is Clark Kent-ing.

Kissing - yes. Fight - No. Just a little amusement.

It's all just teasing!

SUPERMAN: They are the worst crooks. I've made it my life's work to protect all lollypops.



Actually it was supposed to be the Parasite.



LOIS: Yes! They would. *huffs*

LOIS: Red, what is this red kryptonite? Will it make Superman unable to resist me?

Huh! You want her to get worried and bolt?

Mmmmmmmm. Sounds good.

MICHAEL: Eight years. Choose eight years.

Nope, sorry.

Um, it's Monday now. Getting closer. Okay?

We know!!!!!

Really? Amnesia? *sighs*

Doodles? What was wrong with Doodles? *pretends to look upset*

What?

Only knows about comics what’s been said on these boards here.

Sort of. Also… /recommends Falling Slowly by Carol M/

It makes for fun angst. And about a hundred more parts?

Great part, KK ....

I was really looking forward to this chapter--seeing them in love, seeing them 'together'. Lots of wonderful WAFF (as you've probably guessed, I really love the WAFF ).

I very much enjoy that 'newness' in the relationship--even though they have been such close friends for so many years. Understanding each other, adjusting to each other, showing how they care for each other...changing from best friends to a couple is an adjustment, but the added layers of Superman, of them together working daily side by side--it is a very unique situation. A situation with some ups, some downs. And I really love how you are handling the ride .


Loved this! . Again, falling for each other--it's such a beautiful dance. You are capturing it wonderfully


Great part!
Laura

Ahh, you're not a comic buff, then. Doesn't matter. It's not important to the story, just a little detail to round out the world that this takes place in.

Have done. Twice.

I am NOT writing a hundred more parts!!!!

Thought so.

Then you won't be happy that it's not yet ... oh it is. It's Wednesday.

So do I.

Thanks!

Thank you. It was difficult to live up to the title I gave this chapter. I didn't know if I'd portray this section well or not.

Lois, it doesn't take a ceiling to fall on your heard o know you are in love with Clark.

Great, sweet romantic part!

Nope just takes a ceiling falling on your head to make you realise you need to TELL Clark that you are in love with him.

Thanks.
