Ooooooohhhh! Halloween Tank Treat!

Quote
she had ice in her veins.
So, *that's* where the Ice Queen comes from!

Quote
Come on, Lois, I know you like to party once in a while.”
/imagines Jimmy imagining Lois in a painted on, open back halter top and a belt shirt dancing off in a halflit disco before taking one or two strangers home.

Quote
“Once in a while? Jimmy, I like to party as much as the next gal,
evil And on second read, of course. And not just because it's necessary for a happy ending! It is a *Tank* fic, so the joke *must* be on Jimmy! And wouldn't it be fun, if they paid the LL copy from Madame Ex to sleep with Jimmy and then have Lois tell him she's pregnant with his love child?

Quote
Lois’ scream brought Jimmy’s attention back to the monitor screen. “Lois!” He jumped up from his seat and bolted out the door.
/pops popcorn, just about now.

Quote
Lois was slumped in the chair, her head resting on her blood covered forearms which ended in jagged stumps. Blood pooled deeply on the table top. His gaze shifted to the ubiquitous Mr. Smith. He was covered with blood splatters; a satisfied grin on his face.
Good props. Right? Right?

Quote
“Lois, please don’t die. I’m so sorry. If you live I’ll spend my life making this up to you. I’ll be your servant forever.”
Uuuuuuuuuhhhhhh

Quote
“Really?”
I can just hear it and see it, Lois peeking up at him through one open eye.

Quote
“Boo, “she said.
laugh

Quote
“…and then she opened her eyes and said, ‘Boo!’, I thought I was going to pee my pants.”
Only thought? Nooooo!

Quote
Jimmy pointed at Lois’ head. “I hope you’re not too angry about the lock of hair that guy cut. Was that part of the plan?”
/Expects Lois to pull off a wig. Despite this being a Tank fic and all.

Quote
Lois cocked her brow. “Who says I’ve forgiven you? If I remember correctly, if I lived, you promised to be my servant… forever.”
Uuuuuuh, boy. So, now she and C.K. and get on to making little ones, since they have a free babysitter for life?

Quote
She reached over and patted him on the cheek. “I’m alive, and I need my jeep washed this afternoon.”

“Lois?”

“I’ll let you know when I come up with some more tasks for you.”
laugh

Quote
“Lois?”
It's a gift that gives on giving. Hope Perry don't mind his slave getting misappropriated.

/whispers/ It's what we call a Tank ending around these parts.

Thanks for the great fun, Tank!

Yes, Michael, but wouldn't it be so Tank to Tank his own ending and surprise everyone by having Lois die and Jimmy have to live with the guilt? (And possible a criminal sentance for inadvertantly setting it up?) Especially in a Halloween fic? And poor Lois only getting a partial haircut?

Umm... no, I guess I should have pruned the quote a bit more. Lois ending up with both hands MIA, that's the Tank Ending. Lois ending up with both hands still attached, that's the cute ending smile

Awesome fun! Thanks for the Halloween treat, Tank.

I love to see Lois Lane not just taking risks, but doing her homework. She wouldn't be the best reporter in Metropolis if she didn't.

It's pretty sad when someone goes ahead and answers his own challenge, but I just couldn't resist.

Thanks to all who visited this little fic. Hope I caught a few of you.

I knew there might be a bit of 'conflict' with Lois' internal dialog during the 'set-up' of the final punchling, but I was going to dismiss it as Lois being method in her acting. After all I did need to try and fool not only Jimmy, but the gentle readers also. But Michael did point out one line that was specifically contrary so I removed it.

Thanks again for all the kind words.

"Hope I caught a few of you."

You caught me, Tank. With any other author, I would have thought, "No, he won't really do that; there must be a twist coming." But with you, I thought, "You know, he might actually do it."


This *is* my happily ever after.
