I thought we all needed a bit of light relief after all that heavy stuff...okay, *I* needed a bit of light relief. Hope you enjoyed. Yvonne PS: Thanks to everyone who's contributing to the poll. It's really turning into an excellent discussion, and I'm delighted at how many responses it's received.

Yvonne, this is hilarious. I know I should feel sorry for Clark being in that state, but he's too funny that way. I can't believe you actually made him write a rap song Too bad you didn't make him sing it all... It's good to see Lois and Clark getting closer to having their very own child. And CK is feeling better again now that he's back. So yes, this was definitely a lighter part. But what's gonna happen next? Who will be Jon's parents in the future? So I'm anxiously awaiting the next part. Saskia

Light relief is *good* especially after the previous installments!
Great section, Yvonne.
I'm looking forward to more, Irene

‘Well I was walkin’ along, doin’ ma’ thing, when a red rock hit me, right on the head. I said to the rock, hey give me a break, ‘cos Lois ain’t here and ya know she can’t bake.’ “Kryptonians don’t get drunk,” he said very seriously, then brightened immediately. “Hey, that reminds me – I wrote a rap song. D’ya wanna hear it?” Clark shook his head vigorously, then stopped suddenly. “Whoa,” he said, looking incredibly dazed. “Who turned on the special effects?” This installment was a SCREAM. I just had to quote some of my favorite parts. Jen

Hi, Great part. Who said they didn't use resurrection on Lois to steal the baby and Mr. Well had to act? If CK was an orphan, he had a future and Mr. Wells didn't come to interfere, wasn't Jon suppost to have a future in his own world? More soon, please. MAF

Interesting reaction of Clark's to the red kryptonite. Since the show never really established any 'rules' about the red K I guess I can accept your interpetation of the red K's effects. In the comics, each piece of Red Kryptonite would affect a kryptonian in a unique way and only once. So a piece that made Clark apathetic would also make Zara or Ching apathetic but would never affect Clark again. This effect would generally last about 48 hours. So, the rock that boosted Clark's powers would only do it that one time, then it wouldn't be able to affect him again.
But, as I said, the tv show allowed red K to do whatever was convenient for the storyline.
I don't necessarily see where the so-called explanation of altLois' death excuses CK's Kryptonian biology from any culpability. It seems as if they really don't know why Lois came down with the condition or what the actual cause might be. Under those nebulous circumstances I'd think that Clark would be reluctant to put Lois in danger without more 'proof' that carrying a half Kryptonian child wasn't dangerous to her. I could see Lois latching onto the ambiguousness as a positive if she truly wanted to have a child (though I still can't imagine why she would). But would hope that Clark would want to have more solid evidence before risking Lois' life.

Yvonne A great part! I love Clark's reaction to the red Kryptonite. Lots of fun! I agree with Tank here. CK really hasn't proved that his biology didn't place Lois at risk. I'd imagine that Clark would want to be absolutely positive before placing his Lois in any danger. I'm thoroughly enjoying this and can't wait to see where this is headed. Tricia

It seems that the light-hearted bit went down well. I had fun writing that part, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Normal gloom-and-doom services will be resumed shortly, I assure you. Saskia, you said: I can't believe you actually made him write a rap song Too bad you didn't make him sing it all... One thing I just can't imagine is Clark singing! I enjoyed Shayne's Duet a lot, but I have to admit I had a bit problem dealing with a singing, piano-playing Clark Kent. So no, my Clark won't sing. Maria, interesting theory. Tank - I don't know *where* the idea for Clark getting drunk came from, but once I'd thought of it, it seemed to fit quite nicely. As you say, the show did whatever was necessary for the story, so I'm just continuing that great tradition. Mind you, I think there is some logic - if you combine the "don't care" attitude he had first time around with the "out of control" problem he had second time around, you kind of end up with the same sort of behaviour a drunk person might exhibit. Okay, I've used a bit of poetic licence there, but at least there's a tenuous thread connecting the various ideas together. I think you and Trenna are right about the risk factors for Lois - it's not clear-cut, just like life is seldom a series of black-and-white choices. You'll see later on in the story how Lois and Clark eventually deal with this. Yvonne
