(that's me, pretty escited to know you guys are still around!)
I have to apologize again because part 9 is going to be a little late. I have some of it written and most outlined in my head (or in scribbled notes that still have to make it to my computer). I didn't expect my last exam to be taking so much of my time. But I'm done on Monday, so this will hopefully be my last delay.
Maria, aren't you being a little hard on Lois? She is doing some serious thinking. wait for part nine, and see if it makes your opinion change (even if slightly)
Barb, I'm really glad that you're still around, and yes, this should be solved (in my own, non-evil way

) in no more than three parts (hopefully, it'll be only two, but you know what muses do sometimes

)

I hope Lois realizes that it isn’t too late to talk to Clark. She can’t possibly marry Luthor now. NO WAY!!
Er... how do I tell you this? Are you really expecting Lois to not marry Luthor? Would it be enough if she just changed her reasons?

The first thing after leaving now should be to get them to a safe place.
I actually hadn't thought of that. If he did, what I'm writing right now wouldn't work, but if you think about it, one would definitely expect him to run to Smallville... Now you've given me something to think about...
I've noticed that she's become the voice of reason for her sister in a lot of recent stories. I like it. Go, Lucy!
Well, we only got to see Lucy twice in the show (at the very beginning and in Metallo, if I'm not mistaken), but to me, the first season Lucy was better defined. I guess that's why she's having such an important role in some fics these days. Though I must say I've ahd this scene written for months (it was one of the first things I wrote for this story, apart from the main story line)
Gabriele, Merry. I'm so happy you're still enjoying this story.
Thanks everyone for your nice comments. Tricia, Merry, Gabriele, me, Barb and Maria: you guys are great.

PS. No, I didn't forget about you, J, I intentionally left you out. You deserve no less :p
