I do not own anything Lois & Clark related except that which is novel in this vignette. Warner Brothers, DC Comics, and probably a bunch of other folks have that honour. I’m just borrowing the characters for a bit of not-for-profit fun.
This vignette was not beta-ed.

Perry addressed his two star reporters about the impending teachers’ strike. “Lois, go to the schools. Engage the faculty in discussions and find out why they are unhappy with the proposed contract.
“Clark, enter the playgrounds, lunchrooms, or anywhere else you can talk to the students. Find out how the dispute is affecting them.
“Oh, and Lois? Before you start some big rant about this assignment...It is non-negotiable. The orders came from up above. Seems some of the bigwigs have grandkids in the school district and they are showing their concern by insisting our best reporters cover the story. So, you’ll stay on this story until a new contract has been signed. Understand? Now, hit every school in the district. You have your assignments! What are you waiting for?”

And now, gentle reader, your assignment is to discover what is unusual about the above vignette.
