Michael: Thank you for the great comments. Two pages. Lucky me!
/Imagines Clark's reaction to sitting on the couch with Lois when she suddenly gets up and starts to undress. "Um, I'm sorry, Lois. I didn't realize it's already so late. I'll leave now."
That sums it up nicely.
Are Clark's hormones contagious?
I thought they developed naturally in males about the time their ages become double digits?
/whispers: I did get a tad confused with inner self talking to Clark in second person instead of first. Shouldn't, though, given the rest of the fic Probably because the rest of it was rhetorical talk towards Jimmy and inner self first person
Yes, I noticed that myself when I was posting it, last night. I didn't know how to remedy the fact that Clark's conscience was speaking to both Jimmy and Clark. So, I let it stand.
Apologies.
Facepalm We already talked about this, didn't we, Clark?
Sealed? As in sealing wax?
Envelope + tongue = sealed.
So, Metropolis and New York? And Gotham. Oh boy, the East Coast is getting crowded. /starts thinking... There was New York. Then, when things turned ugly, they built Gotham. And when that got overrun with crazies, they set up shop down the river and finally got it right by settling a couple of aliens into the population.
I thought NY was inbetween Metropolis and Gotham (in beauty and safety). Gotham being the worst of the three.
Sounds suspiciously like hitching. Unless Lois whips out the low-dosage-K and chains Clark to a bed in a lonely shed in the woods...
I don't think she'd need the K, but the chain... oh, yeah, he'd just break the chain without the K... never mind...
/imagines youtube vids popping up
In 1994?
Did he just vision-gizmo her top? Not that he hasn't seen them before...
Nope.
They offered her a handful of digits for not suing?

Iolanthe - I think Michael came up with the solution to that problem you had with the sequel! <<whistling innocently>>
This Lois doesn't know how to do B&E.
Just because the opportunity hasn't presented itself, doesn't mean the skills aren't there.
No. If she asks, Clark is required to make a decisions. And we all know how his decision-making are basically non-existent.
Good point.
She hasn't earned vacation at Daily Books yet.
/Imagines naughty Clark high-fiving the empty air, then glaring at outer Clark for not participating
Outer Clark isn't much one for high-fives (although I vaguely remember one with canon Jimmy).
Steamroll him and then pacify him with sex until his minds completely gaga. Yeah, could have worked.
But NY is no Vegas when it comes to getting married. 24 hours waiting period required.
Hadn't had a clue the first time around, till the end. But now, right about now, the second time around, I'm wondering if she bought the maxi-pack condoms for her long weekend.
It was a "gift" from her father. Unfortunately, I couldn't work the answer into GEM. If you still haven't figured it out by now, you'll have to wait for the Prologue for... the sequel.
