Hey, only a week between updates! That's pretty good, right? lol

Tee-hee!

too funny! great banter - this story just gets better and better!

I am LOVING this story. One very small quibble, though . . . in Kansas, alfalfa is not sprouts. Alfalfa is hay. (It's grown to cut for hay to feed cattle.) The two words are almost used as synonyms.

Your Lana characterisation is interesting. I don't remember the part about Lois claiming to be LoDa's best friend--I'll have to go back and re-read the earlier chapters to find it. Don't make us wait too long for the next chapter, please!

Thanks! I will go back and massage the Alfalfa line a little. Oh and the best friends question...

From Chapter 3:
(I had to go back and make sure I hadn't imagined it myself!)

Hmmm, really nice!

A while ago it felt as if Clark totally had the upper hand - he despised Lois, more or less at least, and he made her do all those chores, and she whined and complained and told him that he was really succeeding at torturing her. And when Chloe first turned up, I feared that he was going to torture her even more by showing her that not only did he despise her, but he had another girlfriend too boot.

But how things have changed! Lois doesn't seem to have fallen in love with Clark yet, but Clark has definitely fallen in love with Lois. And suddenly she is the one who can torture him, and not the other way round.

The part that Iolanthealias quoted, the mounds part (I was about to write "the mounds body part - Freudian slip) was just too funny!

So close and so far :p

Karma? (see Lois fishing around in the manure-puddle) Although at first I thought Clark had sprayed Lois or the other way around.



And on her singing a LoDa song. Probably as good an idea as Clark showing up in a Superman costume at the DP Halloween party.



Hmm… yeah, that’s probably why Lois is so unfazed over the entire experience. Either that or because she’s used to entertaining men…

Michael, hoping for more soon

I don't think Lois is used to "entertaining" men, but she is used to being pursued by all sorts of males. It's an occupational hazard, one which I'm sure her father knew would be a problem - but which he hoped would be a manageable problem. She is, however, used to being on display for people, and one result of having thousands of people applaud you on stage is that you tend to lose some of your body modesty. It was interesting that Lois didn't panic and dive for a towel or spin around in the tub. And, of course, there were a lot of soap bubbles. Mounds of them.

Lois has changed a lot over the last three weeks. She's remembering not only what it is to be a normal person, she's learning that celebrity doesn't make you an abnormal person. Too many famous people today think they're special just because they're famous, and that's not true.

I hope the next chapter tells us more of what Lois has been thinking for the past few days. Maybe we'll get to see how she views her jam sessions with Roscoe, or what her thoughts of Clark are. It makes me wonder just how she's starting to feel, what with the "mounds" teasing and the "Don't fall for me" crack.

[/sarcasm] And how will Clark react when he finds out that Lois has been lying to him since they met? Here he is, listening to Lana going gaga over Lola Dakota (and he's joining in) while Lois is laughing at their stupidity and inability to see Lola right there in front of them. [/end sarcasm]

Okay, maybe that's a little unfair, but it is an interesting twist on the canon story line. This one is lots of fun, though, and I really do want to see what happens next. Will Clark admit that he's been eavesdropping on Lois and her guitar? Will Lois admit that she's also Lola? Will Chloe make another guest appearance between engagements? Can't wait to find out!

ETA: sarcasm tags

It didn't seem to me that Lois was laughing, Terry, so much as desperately trying to avoid singing. As you said, that would be like Clark showing up in the SuperSuit. Or maybe more like Clark accidentally floating. She can't afford for these folks to hear what she can do.

Loved the song choice for Clark. And, if he really does usually have a stick up his anatomy, it shows how badly he's failed at not being intrigued. He's willing to make a complete fool of himself in his pursuit of figuring Lois Lane out.

What Lois is doing off in that treehouse is trying to remember how to be the person who wrote Chloe's songs, not Lola's.

I agree with HappyGirl about Lois' attitude, but when it all hits the fan Clark may see it differently.

I don't think Lois is used to 'entertaining men' (don't worry, I caught all the sarcasm here) just that like Terry said, her modesty meter is a bit skewed. I liked all the comments here--they made me consider some things that I hadn't, and hopefully what's in the next chapter will flesh some of those aspects out a bit.

I know where this fic is going (that's a relief, right? lol), so I try not to reveal too much too soon, but I agree that it does help to get into the characters' minds now and then.

I am definitely going for the flip on canon with the secrets, lies and flies here so... Yes, it *will* be interesting to see how Clark reacts when the truth comes out When is that you ask? Not in the near, near future... but near. Suffice to say that there will be a revelation.

And now I'm taking my suffices to the next chapter...

Thanks again!
