Poor Clark! He's so in love with Lois, and he can't do anything about it because he knows that she's not in control of her choices. It must be even harder in this universe because she's been SO tough on him throughout the entire story.
What can I say? I'm evil.
Loved it! Clark has to keep Lois there until the pheramones wear off, after all a lot could happen to her in the dorm...or on the way to the dorm!
Yup. Therein lies the trouble. He's danged if she stays and danged if she goes.
As for the Martha phone call. I'd die if my Mum talked to me that way...but if I was a Mum I'd totally do that to my kid. That's awesome.
That's why I like you so much. You're as mean as I am.
When I was sixteen, my own mom decided to talk to me about sex. She waited until I was driving to the music shop, and then said, "So you and Mr. X seem to have a healthy sex life." All I could think was, "Mo-o-om, I'm making a left hand turn across the highway!" (I wasn't sleeping with him, btw. Saved that for the wedding night with no regrets.)
Martha's kind of like that, in the way she speaks so frankly. But I love how the character, in general, keeps an even keel and a sense of humor. So much kinder than my mom's approach.
Most parents suffer through seeing their children do incredibly stupid things. Clark's parents were spared the bulk of that experience, so they never had to 'mend the fences' with him.
I think burning down the back fence with his heat vision must have led to quite a few frank conversations. But yeah, I tend to agree with you.
Besides, she still has several dozen languages to go.
You know that's right.
Oh, boy. Please let her come to her senses suffciently to realize that it wasn't Clark who drugged her, at least.
Oh, Ann. I never thought of that. Let's just hope that she realizes he didn't drug Rahelia and Cat, as well.

Yep, that’s pretty unromantic.
It was also pretty close to our Friday night dinner the week I was writing.
If she was concentrating any harder, this would need to be posted on the N-Fic forum...
I love that you're as innocent as you are. That's so totally far from N-Fic that Ann would never be fooled. Right, Ann?
And you're right. I forgot about Smallville's Chloe. I was looking for a name that sounded similar to Lois. There aren't that many.
Glad you all appreciated a more humorous than sensual take on PML. And happy that you enjoyed reading Clark's phone call as much as I enjoyed writing it. (I didn't write it, but I also enjoyed imagining how Martha would tell Jonathon about it when he got home.)
