The story so far...
"Lois, can we talk?" Clark asked, nervously fiddling with his remote. "I need you to try not to get mad. I want to tell you that Perry has decided to partner us for the story on the polygamous religious cult."
"Polygamous religious cult?" Lois exclaimed."What kind of person would... Look, we're engaged for Elvis' sake!
"But we'd need another spouse"
"Ralph, I'd quit while ahead!!!" Jimmy snapped at Ralph who grunted and turned away hastily.
"How about Cat?" suggested Clark.
"No," Lois snapped. "No way."
Jimmy and Ralph looked at each other competitively. "what about me!" they both shouted simultaneously.
Lois gave Ralph a disgusting snort, dragging Jimmy over to Clark.
"Jimmy's.... well... Jimmy. Do you think he'll do?" she asked.
"I'll do fine." Jimmy winked at Clark. "Besides," he said, "I look good in skirts."
"Elvis wore skirts for charity once" Perry said, as he entered the room with his top lead. "Explosion on Clinton Street!"
"What? Clinton street?" Lois rushed, "No! My fish! My novel!"
"Relax, it's a long street," Clark called out, running behind her.
"You're living at Clark's?" Ralph's suspicious voice followed as ...

If she had to move heaven and Earth, perhaps come back to haunt Perry and explain the story after they'd killed her, she would do it.

This is just my two cents but : isn't Cat on the East Coast when they get engaged? And I completely forgot that it wasn't Lois' apartment at Clinton. Sorry. And I am not sure about "little tornado" there. :p But yay I have been immortalised in fiction - finally!
Cheers, The Little Tornado.

NOTE:
it all depends on whether or not Little-Tornado is hyphenated (for this challenge I would hyphenate it to make 5 words,
just as you can make CANNOT into Can Not, Cannot, and Can't===all meaning exactly the same thing = and Can Not v.'s Cannot only depending on the writer's preference, with the use of can't depending on formal or informal circumstances)

because Perry was eyeing him
OT: (re Jimmy and the skirts - perhaps it's because Jimmy's only half Scandinavian? and wears a kilt when he plays the bagpipes at his mom's family reunions?)

OK Coolgirl, I'll try and solve this riddle:
Jimmy fervently wished that he hadn't mentioned skirts, because Perry was eyeing him , however comfortable they may be
Lois ran all the way between the elevator and Jeep. Clark caught up with her......
and to turn this into better English
Jimmy fervently wished that he hadn't mentioned skirts, because Perry was eyeing him strangely, and humming----*INSERT SONG ABOUT A DRAG QUEEN HERE****---------- , however comfortable they may be

NOTE:
Does anyone know any songs about drag queens or cross dressers...
something from Priscilla Queen of the Desert would be great, but (although ashamed as an Aussie to admit this) I have never seen the film, and don't know any of the songs so....
suggestions are welcome,
that post was an attempt to fix the mixup that occurred (see cool-girl's post)
