Darth Michael: Just under the wire. Thanks for feeding my inbox.

First time he had indigestion?
Yes. And, well, no. He did date Lana.

LANA: What is she talking about? I don't cook.
Really? He’s not the smartest one out there.
LOIS: I’m not lusting after his brains.
CLARK: But... but... but... she was right there! /turns to Lois/ But I'm lusting after yours.
LOIS: /giggles/ Oh, Clark. Stop it!
Oooh! So, it’s not that he’s still out there. He’s already smack on the ground, thinking that she’s doing it again.
LOIS: Well…it didn’t take the first time so… Or the second time.
Well, the first time was the day the Daily Planet was bombed...
MRS. COX: I was no where near Superman that day.
So, just some light makeup, huh?

Not quite.
Awww…she’s trying to go for his power.
BETSY: Wrong TV show.
Who sucks peoples power out from their mouth?
Why lead him on, renew his hope, and then kill him like this?
LEX: /Because she's perfect/
LOIS: Uh... I plead the 5th... and being elsewhere.
There was no sense in adding cruelty to another person’s death.
LEX: /What would be the point otherwise?/
That sounds about right.
No, I think they’re transparent.
No, Mrs. Cox gets chilly. She's dressed like it's December after Lois and Clark closed down the nuclear reactor.
So, are they allowed to shoot home invaders in New Troy or do people have to call the police?
Shoot, yes. Hold them hostage and torture them, not so much.
CLARK: /coughing/ Good Samaritan laws.
Radiation sickness from wearing a radioactive rock around her neck?
Nope, but she might get cancer in a few years.
MRS. COX: Say, what?
Yeah, she’s melting, all right. They really should not hand out Kryptonite to just about anybody. Also, you are doing a reference when they used Chip as a Lex stand-in, huh?
Ding! Ding! Ding! Get that man a bright green necklace!
/Lois is the alien from MIB/
LOIS: I do NOT look like that!
ER: /jawdrop/ Now…WAY! /thud/
Gee. I must be getting predictable. Note to self: go off script for the next section of the story.
On the downside: Getting it on with a creep?
MRS COX: Eh. Win some, lose some. Get lots of money.
Oh boy…he’s going to be a mess during their first time together!
CLARK:

LOIS: First?
CLARK: /totally thinking of something else/ Yeah, let’s call it that…
LOIS: /pouting/ you don't like my kissy-poos?
He does have kind of sticky fingers, doesn’t he?
LOIS: Plus, Lex has cooties!
LEX: Uh-uh! I've been tested!
Oooh! Lois nude in a room with some random dude.
SUPERMAN: kill me. Kill me know.
LEX: okay.
SUPERMAN: No! I didn't mean...

LOIS:

LEX: What? He asked me to!
Lex arranged for her to have a bachelorette outing after all!
LOIS: If I end up naked in a vat of green jello with Bubbles, someone is going to die.
LEX: So much for my night.
And we go off to lala land…
Yes, I'm sure there are plenty of people in LA who would rub down Lois's naked body.
LOIS: That's not what I meant!
CLARK: That some strange random dude should rub my naked body?
LEX: Don't worry, darling, I've got Superman's spa day all scheduled over at Lex Towers. We're making a night of it!
Maybe it’s a spa with benefits and Lois gets to break the story?
LOIS:

So, up to ten days of Lois looking like raw meat?
LOIS: Perfect way to keep Lex’s hands off me!
True, but she's planning on running away with Clark that night and the last time he thought she needed to recover...
LOIS: Yes, we have to admit, *I'm* the better nurse.
It’s even on TV shows back in the 90s.
Still scary though.
Well…it will happen during her happy day, so…
What? No morning sickness jokes at the mention of nausea?
Dylan sounds like the concubine mistress from Teeej!’s Care and Training, making sure the concubine is all ready to receive her First Lord.
Really? I was trying to make her sound like an ordinary masseuse.
CLARK: So, let me get this straight. Lois is getting pampered while I’m getting beaten? Really? Rewrite! Rewrite, over here!

LOIS: But I've had to spend the last few months dating Lex. I deserve this after all my sacrifices.
CLARK: What sacrifices?
LOIS: Well, not spending time with you, for one...
CLARK:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/liebe/s045.gif)
When you put it that way, I guess I could suffer a little longer.
LOIS: Ooops? Was I not supposed to stick that steak knife into my husband’s ribcage?
LEX: Darling, my ribcage is about 12" higher.
Lex vanquished Tempus? I thought that that feat was accomplished by the man himself?
How could Tempus take Lois away from Lex?
Cameras in the massage parlor?
Hmmmm. That would have been a different take.
SUPERMAN: You want me to watch a naked Lois being rubbed down by another woman? Okay. Got popcorn?
BILL HENDERSON: /picking up the phone/ Ye-?
LOIS: /loud, unintelligible screeching/
BILL: What? Lois? What’s going on? Slow down…

Okay, I won't make it THAT easy.
CLARK:

It's okay. You can make it THAT easy.
Huh. Looks like he’s found a double and is making use of his TV studio apartment. No, wait, she knows she’s being watched and makes the appropriate face for the cameras. Duh!
Yes, one of those.
LOIS: /to the audience/ Zofran. You need some in every spy’s household.
CLARK: You could just try NOT kissing the guy.
Yes. That he knows of.
That too.
So…you said no clones. So…the double Ari dug up?
Arianna had no part in making a double of Lois in this story.
Lex! /bad boy!/ This is no way to treat a lady.
LEX: Of the night. Yes, it is.
Lois is a lady of the night?
LEX: I've got the receipt to prove it.
/Actually, he doesn't. The Metro Club doesn't issue receipts for large cash donations./
So, Lex figured that maybe Superman might not make it to the morrow, or Lois might be a tad more unreceptive, so he put up a special show? Or did he find a new formula for Revenge and had it massaged into Lois?
You mean one which makes her think that Lex is Superman? Is that why he kept the sound off?

Last chance before she says no to him at the altar?
LOIS:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/froehlich/d025.gif)
You've got me. I didn't really want to marry Lex and have all that money at my disposal. I just wanted to have sex with him, but he never offered me that, so I just accepted his wedding proposal...
LEX:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/a050.gif)
/tried to find photo of Lex Luthor (any of them) doing a face palm. Apparently, Batman does more face palms that this guy./
How Lex really became rich.
LOIS: I didn't pay Lex to do that!
Because she’s not screaming? Plus, her voice is a tad immature? Like a 5-day-old frog’s?
Just in case she asks him again to stop calling her 'Lois'.
LEX: Why I always call all women 'darling'. No mix up on the sex tape.
Unfortunately, he hasn’t seen her naked yet, that he remembers. So, will he get a strange sense of ‘that’s not right’ when he sees her naked upper body?

Ooooh! Will Clark notice the missing bullet scar?
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/e015.gif)
Still 'no comment'.
You mean, end it at this point? /wildguy/ You said that the WHAM would be for Clark seeing things in Lex’s office. /wildguy/ You’re a trickster!
Well, I couldn't ruin the surprise. Anyway, having Lex just torturing Superman physically with green Kryptonite is old hat.
Time to post the new part! Thanks for playing!
