I told it would be better than what I came up with! Told ya! Nyah-nyah-nyah!

Really, it was great. The car trip? Been there, riding with a silent teenager. (Of course, mine never had Lisa's reasons.) And I liked Clark's shock when he suddenly spotted Lois in the crowd. And I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that he's agonized over that one night ever since it happened fourteen years ago. Boy, is he in for a shock when he meets Lisa. I only hope that Lois and Lisa let him take it private.

Great story, Shayne! I'm going to send my muses to intern with yours. Maybe I'll get some better ideas.
