Hi Coolgirl,
We’re having a
scavenger hunt challenge focusing on FDK for stories with games this month, so I just had to resurrect this thread
There’s also an nfic version of this story:
https://www.lcficmbs.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php/topics/173036And a sequel by Mercy:
https://www.lcficmbs.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php/topics/173038/lois-wins-by-mercy-complete#Post173038As for the original story’s FDK, let’s amend, shall we?
He had always loved spending time with Lois like this — playing with her. After all, it had been those countless board-games and quiz-games he'd played with her that had brought them closer during their stay at the honeymoon suite in the Lexor.
Awwww…
Also, ‘game’ quote!
"Greek star?" Lois thought out aloud. She scanned her *encyclopedic* brain for a matching phrase. After a moment or two of deep thinking, her brain buzzed, 'Not enough data'.
Oh, that’s cute!
"Clark, please," Lois pleaded, deliberately bending forward and placing both her hands on the table, giving him a tantalizing view. Her thin nightgown hid nothing from his gaze.
You have quite the talent at teasing and hinting
"Lois, why don't you ever play fairly?" he groaned.
"Play fairly…? Of course I do!" she sputtered.
"Loooisss…" Clark drawled, reminding her of the hundred or so times she'd cheated or invented some new rule to win a board game.
Clark rolled his eyes. "I don't use my powers to *cheat*! And it's not the same thing with you because you *use* your…feminine wiles," he retorted.
/sputters/
'Feminine wiles? How dare he mention that?' Lois mentally stamped her feet on the ground. He was supposed to become enticed enough to come round to her way, and not discover her cheating. "I don't use my feminine wiles to *cheat* either, Kent!" she threw his own words back.
Oh, I do love this Lois
"Jinx?" Clark asked, confused.
Raising her hand she gestured him to stop. "You aren't supposed to talk or move."
At his bewildered look, Lois elaborated, "It's another game. I used to play this with Lucy when we were small. If two people say the same thing at the same time, then one of them can jinx the other, which means the jinxed person shouldn't move or talk until the person who jinxes — " She pointed her thumb at herself. " — releases the jinxed." She pointed a finger at Clark.
And here’s another ‘game’ quote.
She then looked into the chocolate brown eyes pleading with her to release him. His lips seemed to tremble slightly. He gave an overall appearance of a puppy that had been leashed and ordered to sit where it was. Lois moved closer to look at his lips to see if they were really trembling — wasn't that considered breaking the rules?
Poor Clark!
Lois tried again and again, but, when she still couldn't get it out, she decided she had to trick him into submitting to her.
Lois! /looks scandalized/
But then, Clark realized what the reporter had said — he had said his name — 'Superman.'
"Aha! The reporter in the television said my name! I won!" Clark exclaimed, turning back and grasping Lois tightly as she tried to get the remote to turn the television off.
"Jinx!" Clark beat Lois to it.
Oops! Turnabout!
Now, I do recommend you also check out the nfic version, too (see above).
