Nancy -

I love this!!!!

I was starting to wonder if Jimmy was Superman, but that didn't seem quite right.

Now the sequel could start with... "What do you mean we're fraternal twins?" wink .

Seriously. I understand Lois' frustrations and wonder if Jimmy's intervention will be enough to sooth Mad Dog Lane. Would be interesting to see wink .

Oh loved this! I could just picture Lois and her fury, LOL. Great job!


LOIS:I don't like you.
MAYSON: Really? Oh god, that is such a relief - I don't like you either.
LOIS: That makes me feel so much better

Wonderful Jimmy flies! Will Lois forgive Clark? Can Jimmy take some jobs so that Clark doesn't lose Lois!

Loved this

Ha! Great little vignette here. Love the idea of Jimmy with superpowers, and then him doing the greatest rescue of all - rescuing Clark from Lois' wrath.

Fantastic! clap

I really enjoyed this story. My mind jumped through a couple of scenarios when I read the first line, but they were nothing like this. Brilliant.

I particularly liked how Jimmy silently observed Clark and Lois. Maybe Clark's inability to work both jobs and build a relationship with Lois was the reason Jimmy didn't reveal himself earlier.

Heh. Wendy's first line "What do you mean, we're fraternal twins?" would work great for a sequel.

Thanks for posting.

I like the concept. laura


Clark: “If we can be born in an instant, and die in an instant, why can’t we fall in love in an instant?”

Thanks for the comments! I really appreciate it!

I have to say, something about this line stuck with me after I read it (Thanks, Desiree!) and while I didn't actually intend to write anything at first, a whole host of ideas went through head. My favorite of the rejected ones was that Jimmy was actually a slimy monster under his clothes - he looked kind of like the aliens on the Simpsons

but dripping with slime.

This idea came much later and while it doesn't make me laugh in the same way, it lent itself much more to a story.

It's good to know that even when I feel like my muse is on vacation, I can still get something out that's mildly entertaining.
