Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Wrestle Me This

One of the funniest - and least likely - revelation plots I've ever read.

Could you do that, too? The thought alone is funny enough to make me smile in anticipation. Just find another way to make Lois forget so oucan do a sequel to the sequel.

<still grinning broadly>

Hmm, Lets look briefly at a concept called state dependant learning.

So it is highly likely that the next time Lois had a couple or three drinks her memory would leak back.

Indeed in my career & life ( A&D professional, 27 years in the field, 29 years sober) I've seen many people recall things from backouts over the course of time that they didn't right after the event.

An ex-coworker who was 3 and 4 years C&S when she worked with me back in the early 1980s was in her 40s when she got sober. She had a PhD but in early sobriety could not recall what she'd learned. She had spend her school and work years always slightly buzzed.

There were papers she herself had written that she not only could not recall writing but coud not understand the concepts. Over the few years she recovered her education. She began by reading over her old textbooks and than her own papers and the citations in each and large chunks of her memories dropped into place.

My point is that Lois could recall Clark being Superman the next time she had a couple of drinks and that the knowledge could also leak back even when sober just from a discussion with co-workers about the events of the night.

I.E. junior reporter George is telling someone else about the "Beer Night"...

'You shoulda been there Ralph! There was Karaoke and Lane got up and did three or four songs, and does that woman have some voice, and the moves, oh Ralph you really missed out, she did this song from the musical Gypsy, the one the stripper does and..."

So Lois hears this and can hardly believe her ears and with a sinking feeling she knows George is telling the truth, as she thinks about it she can recall some of the cat calls and wolf whistles and oh no I didn't do, oh god, I did, how can I face everyone"

Being Lois she of course obsesses the rest of the day and that night trying to recall every detail so she can know just how much of a fool she made of herself.

Or the key could be the next time Superman gives her a lift, or Clark kisses her.

Superman set Lois down on her feet next to her desk. Lois seemed distracted, looking at him but clearly not seeing him.

"Lois? You alright?"

"Hmm, Oh Superman, yes, sure I'm fine"

The look on her face had changed from the almost blank one to her special hunch look, the one she got as she was making one of her leaps of Logic that were so often correct and gave Lane and Kent the edge over other reporters.

Superman smiled and lifted off, better get home before Lois calls Clark to sound him out on her new insight. As he flew he wondered which of their stories was about to take a giant leap forward.

Lois watched him go thinking Kent, you are so dead when I see you....

Great stuff, Lara! Nice to see a new twist on the revelation. And I wouldn't be too sure that Lois won't remember that later!

Thanks guys! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I read Olympe's post seconds before I headed out of the office and it got me thinking about a sequel...

So... yep, there's going to be one.

Precisely what I was thinking. When I got home and read your post I was all thinking "wow, they're reading my mind!"


Lois, quit trying to do that, you're going to hurt yourself. (hehehe!)

Framework, your post was a riot! Thanks for that, I really got a kick out of trying to imagine Lois, the Karaoke Queen.

Most of the sequel is already written in my head, so you should see it pop up on the boards shortly - it's not going to be much longer than that one was. (I expect the title is probably going to be something super brilliant, like "Wrestle Me That" - I have a thing for weirdo titles, don't mind me!)

Very fun. Thanks for sharing this!

I understand totally. That's how my stories 'Defeated' and 'Superman Is Hot' came about.
~~

WOW!
~~


For some reason this made me break into laughter....
~~

Man, that must have been a heck of a story.
~~

Designated driver indeed....
~~

Is that werewolf Queen Victoria? (No, no.. nevermind. Wrong show....)
~~

Oh, the things a drunk will say!
~~

Oh, yeah, right, Lois!
~~

Ahh.....

~~

Ahhhh....

~~

Hahahahahahaha.... I, too, would bet she's gonna remember.

Hey, Framework4, what's A&D mean?

Thanks for the comments, everyone! *does the happy dance*

It dropped onto the page, really. I didn't spend 5 minutes thinking about each paragraph, the way I often do... I just started writing and made it all the way to the end pretty much without stopping. And I do type *very* fast - comes from working as a secretary for years. 30 minutes could be a little exagerated, but this was during my lunch hour and I had time to write this whole thing, eat *and* have a chat with the girls before the hour was up, so it definitely didn't take long to get this done....

yeah. kinda too bad I have no idea what it is. See... this is why the story got written so fast, cause I didn't bother with any of the details. hehehe!

What show is that? Buffy? (I'm clueless!)

Yes... but don't forget, they usually mean it at the time.

She will. I'm just not certain yet if she should be mad or not... I've got both scenarios in my head, I need to put them in writing before I forget - and then I can pick which makes more sense.

Cute light and a silly little chuckle fic. Thanks, I enjoyed it. Laura

No, that would be 'Dr. Who'. It was the episode I was watching when I previously had to put your feedback on 'hold'. I believe I told you I'd leave you feedback as soon as I watched Dr. Who. HaHa.

Ok 2 quick things. :p

First,
HAH! That is the best way to write! I have never, ever planned out a story in my existence. The true winner was 'disoriented and on cough syrup' but other have been 'while eating turkey burger,' 'after my roommate reminding me to feed my fish' and 'during Scary Movie 3.' :p So I LOVE the bagel.

And as for Lois' not remembering...
*dusts off self*
Just to play devil's advocate, the Jesuit college kids will attest to the fact that not everyone gets their memory back. Oh, the college days...!

Jen

hehehe! yeah, I remember. Looks like I need to be watching Dr. Who like the rest of all you guys. hehe! I've seen some eps - from the "older" series, mostly, but I barely remember. I'll check it out!

Jen -
mmm... this sounds familiar, was that story posted? cause I'm mighty sure I've read something like that in an author's note, so it must have been your story.

Between two bites of a sandwich is often when you'll find me writing - my lunch hour is one of the best moments for me to work on a story. Clears my head and it's one of those precious moments when there really is noone around to bug me.

Again, thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm really thrilled that you liked this. You guys are absolutely making my day!

Man, I'm not working right now, but this would be so great to be able to do something like this at work. At one job I worked we got in trouble for reading at the nurses' station during our breaks. And usually nurses don't truly get to go off somewhere to take a break so it was a huge farce. You always have to be 'available' so breaks (at least in my experience) have been taken at the nurses' station. Gadfries. It's no wonder hardly anyone wants to be a nurse these days. It sure isn't like it was when I got out of nursing school (a looong time ago).

Yup.

That was really funny, Lara! The idea that Lois would want to arm wrestle with Superman, thinking he is only Clark, is so funny. Of course, the revelation scene was totally adorable - one of the best I have ever read!

However, I felt a little shocked at the suggestion that Lois wouldn't remember the revelation the next day. Lois, do you really think it's good for you to drink so much that you wouldn't remember such a thing?

Ah, well. Patrick, your post was a riot. "State dependent learning"... I love it! Ah, yes, Clark, Lois will remember. I can just picture the scene that you wrote for us here, Patrick:



Ann

This is so much funny, Lara!

Andreia

So cute! So funny! So exactly what I was in the mood for this morning. Thank you!

Caroline

I really liked this funny version of a revelation. I seriously doubt that Clark would tell Lois his secret if she wasn't perfectly sober, though.

But who cares what would really happen? This was a great little vignett, Lara!

awww!!! That's such a sweet thing to say, Ann, thank you!!! I'm honored that you think so.
I do believe I'd run over and kiss you if you weren't so far. hehe!

I'm completely blown away by all you guy's feedback! This was just a silly little nonsense thing... I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it, I can't even begin to tell you how good this feels. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sequel is all in my head, just need to put it down on paper. I expect to do that on my lunch hour. hehehe!

Oh Lara! I LOVED this. It was such an adorable piece of fluff. I see you are planning a sequel... I can't wait to read it.
