John: Wow! A 4 part FDK and extras besides?!  Can't she tell he really does not like her? CLARK: What is he talking about? At the time, I thought what Lana and I had was love. Lois would never do something like that. She would try to take the blame herself. True, like Clark, Lois is her harshest critic. Although, she doesn’t really blame herself in S4 when they are told they can’t have children, she tries to find a way around the results. Another reason to move out of Smallville. In Smallville the 3 doctors in the four surrounding counties might find it odd that none of them had ever conducted tests on Clark. One would probably at least offer to see if some new procedure could help Clark, and be very persistent about him at least getting another opinion on his condition. They would surely tell such busy-body doctors that they had gone to the “big city” for the tests and used specialists. Yes, he never really trusted of felt a true connection to Lana, if he didn't tell her that. Of course, the fact that he enjoyed being with Rachel more than will Lana probably explains why he would not tell Lana that. Is it really necessary to go into detail about ALL of one’s previous lovers to one’s potential spouse? That seems a bit excessive and TMI in my opinion. Anyway, telling Lana that the sex could be better between them because it had been with Rachel wouldn’t have earned him any points. I wonder if Clark would run off and try to save people half hoping this would happen, since not having to see Lana can't really be that bad. CLARK: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/s040.gif) Why would I do that? Lana is trying to protect me, just like my dad used to. This probably makes it much harder for him to disclose his abilities. Even if he knows that Lois will accept and appreciate them, it is still at some level a stumbling block. There’s always a possiblity that Lois will reject him, or treat him like Lana did, so yes, that makes him more hesitant. Clark really does have deep seated self-esteem issues. Who, besides Rachel, was around to tell him that he was worthy? Then Rachel disappeared on him and he had no one. I really feel for Clark. I wish he could tell Lois this, I hope he can soon. It’s more of a trickle of information, instead of her usual babbling brook. I can just see Lana saying it in a way that is more of a put down than a compliment though. A way that says more he is hard to love than that she loves him a lot. Yes, that was what the line evolved into, but Clark believes it had been genuine at some point. Nope, it just meant that she wanted to save face and avoid being seen as crazy for thinking her boyfriend was abnormal. LANA: Clark was the perfect boyfriend before all those weird things. So, I just told him to stop using them, because they weren’t important. What was important was him protecting me at all costs and showering me with love and adoration. I think I now understand a little more why Clark wants Lois to love him and not Superman. Lana loved for the wrong reasons, and it hurt him a lot. Hopefully he will see that Lois is not Lana, and she does love him enough for him to trust her. Yes. Hmm, Clark probably will fully believe that Walt raped Rachel, whatever really happened. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/e015.gif) Except Lana had just figured he was a little strong, not realized how truly special he was. CLARK: Hey, at that point, I was willing to take any compliment throw my way. If they only knew how much worse it could have been. At least she was alive. They didn’t consider that option. Now I see why he stuck with Lana for 9 to 10 years. If a kiss on the cheek from her lead to his first flight, there would seem to be hope. Pretty much. Well, it was probably worry over his behavior. As in worry that her image had given him the wrong idea. Of course, this was not a fair assesment. Tube tops and tight clothes are not license for rape, but jerks like Walt don't understand that. In the 80s rape usually still included blaming the victim for her behavior. The worst is, he somehow, at some level, thinks it is his fault. He doesn’t think it’s his fault that she lost it. He thinks it’s his fault that she never found it again. This probably makes it harder for Clark to accept Lois loving Superman. He has seen what happens when someone loves you as a protector does, and it is not neccesarily as good as it could be. He wants to be loved for himself, not for what he can do. This may also be a big part of why he things his lacking abilities is so hard. If Lois does show love for him while he is not at his peak, things will maybe go better. Oh, dear. Sounds like she really needed to see Dr. Friskin. Correct assessment. He has come very close to breaking this vow with Lois. Lois seems to right now have the same view, just not knowing what his secret is. However, if he does not start telling her soon, crazy Perfume makers might destroy his ability to hold to this view. The road to hell is paved with good intensions. Just because he thinks this is the best way to go about things, doesn’t mean it will be the way it happens. Why not just marry Rachel? She seems like a much better friend than Lana. Of course, I guess she just seems too much a friend, or maybe I will understand from more reading, but I don't now. Rachel went to another college than him. When he finally decided that she was who he wanted to be with, he couldn’t find her, until he received notice that Rachel had ended up joining the army. The Harrises were liable to give Clark her current address. Clark is at times too patient for his own good. What? It was only a few months. He should have hunted down her heartbeat, and gone and found her wherever she was. Of course, if he had, who knows what would have happened. Like that wouldn’t have been awkward. By some alternate universe theories, there is an AU where Clark did hunt down Rachel at that point, they eventually married, and Tempus skipped on from that AU to this one, because that AU would have had Superman if anything a few years earlier than canon-universe. Clark Kent, editor of the Smallville Post-Gazette and husband of Sherrif Harris, would still allow for Superman showing up at various places and thwarting notorious criminals. What a great story idea! No wonder he has resisted the groupies. He has long expeirence dodging vapid women. It was a bit of a change having women want him despite his alien status though. It is KU, not U of K. Don't ask why University of Kansas is KU, but it is. Thanks. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/a050.gif) I had read this somewhere before and had forgotten. I’ll go change this. U of K is University of Kentucky, which is why University of Kansas uses KU. At some level I wonder why Clark Kent did not become a professional psychoterapist or something along those lines. Great idea! Check out Clark’s newest profession on the 101 Other jobs for Clark Kent Challenge thread. Maybe she would tell them that if they tried going further than she wanted, she would scream and Clark Kent would come save her. That would have but a crimp on the disrespecting womanizers styles. Plus, it wouldn’t have made Clark any new friends. At least Lois has always wanted even Superman as more than just a bodyguard. This Lois was trying to get Superman in bed before he even flew her into the newsroom. LOIS: I was what? No, no, no! I was inviting him to my apartment for an interview. True, I was going to shower and change my clothes at the same time, which in hindsight was a bad move on my part, but I was only trying to do two things at once. I wasn’t inviting Superman in for sex. Is that what he thought? ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/c050.gif) CLARK: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/e020.gif) I am pretty sure it should say "danced with". Actually it probably should be "flirted with" as well. Does this mean that she at least flirted with, danced with, and kissed Clark some of the time. Danced, yes. Flirted and kissed, no. /Thanks for the grammar catch!/ Did this include being in his arms? Er… no. CLARK: Great, just rub the salt a little more in that wound. So she had recoved somewhat, but not all the way. yep. Because he was so calm and serene after Luthor shot Lois?  See exactly like with Lois.
Lois:Then why won't he tell me the truth.
Reader:He tells you some truths. He is making progress.
Lois:True, he told me what the J really stood for. He evidently told the truth in saying he did not know this blonde haried woman. Still, there's a lot of things he's not telling me. CLARK: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/e010.gif) Does this mean she did dance with Clark? On occasion. This makes me <sad> Lois at least will give Clark the time of day when things are good. Lana seems only to really do that when she is down and out. Why Lana wasn’t a good match for Clark. This is true at hundreds of levels. Only some of them have anything to do with him being from another planet, and being Super. True. Oh, Clark, you are so much more "not like other guys" than just your secret. Hopefully Lois will help you see that while you are suffering from Kryptonite poisoning. LOIS: No comment. This sounds like a trick question. The proper response is "no, I like you a lot more than any other guy does." Ooooh. Good answer. CLARK: I wish I had thought of that. I still think my idea was a more honest response, but this probably works. CLARK: I thought she was asking about my sexuality. This does not seem to be a very promising way to start a dating relationship. CLARK: I was happy with any kind of start. This was more than I ever expected to have with Lana.

Clark has come a long way from that to the point where he would arrange a way to turn Lois into his date at the Kerths without her pre-approval. Of course, having a woman he had never met before come up to him and kiss him like canon-Lois did was probably a helpful turn of events. Well, ten years had past including over a year as Superman. Let’s hope he has gained SOME self-confidence regarding women in that time. Yes, could Clark really be that much of the jealous boyfriend type? LOIS: Really? Do you need to even ask? Have you seen what he’s like around Lex? Hmm, not even that he was Lana's boyfriend. I was at least expecting Lana would say "my mother heard you were my boyfriend, and wanted to meet my boyfriend." Yes, that might have been more polite. Lana also does not seem to believe in talking things over with people. No wonder Clark told Lois "stay". His experience is people who are dating give commands to each other, and they get listened to. Lana was a very commanding person. The “stay” Clark issues Lois is more a request for her safety per the old Superman cartoons. That Lois didn’t listen to him (or Superman) either. Being interviewed by someone is not really meeting them. Also, her mother may have forgotten that, she does not have an eidetic memory and it has been 3 years or so. Plus, Clark had mastered the art of invisiblity by that point, so very forgetable. Or she heard from Maisie that Lana was dating "the Kent orphan" or something like that. Hmmmm. I wonder who could have told Maisie? No, it’s more like Mrs. Lang hounding her daughter about her current beau, but since Lana isn’t really dating anyone at the moment, she tells her Mom about Clark to shut her up. It spins out of control from there. I guess Lana did mention him. Still, maybe they should go on real dates, it does not sound like they really have. Parties are all well and good (or not, if they are filled with smashed people), but one-on-one dates might be better. No dates, because he’s basically a faux boyfriend to scare other men off. Humm, if he is not "allowed to tell his buddies", I really do not see how she can be so angry at his surprise that she told her mother. Of course this is Lana. That’s because she didn’t want Clark going back to school and bragging about being brought home to meet the family, etc. Not that Clark would have ever done that. Hmm, actually, why does he ever complain about Lois' ability to hold a grudge after what he has put up with with Lana. Um… technically, Lana isn’t holding a grudge at this point (she does after they break up though). And when he had the conversation with Lois, Lana was the furthest thing from his mind. He was more likely wondering if he would have to ask the Irigs if he could stay in their barn over break.  Let me. LOIS: Hands off! Lois:Clark, why did you pick up the pan without a hot pad? When did I do this in front of Lois? This is very different than how Lois reacts to him, ever. CLARK: Another reason to love Lois. Of course she uses her love to seek to get him to reject who he really is. Lana is a great manipulator. Has Lois yet told Clark she loves him? I think she did at least once. Even if she has not said it in words, her actions on their date suggested some level of love, even if she does not fully trust him. She told him in the Metro Storage Closet that she wanted to make love to him, thereby implying it. But “no” she hasn’t said it out right. He should have known that her failure to accept who he truly was was a bad sign. for Clark. It is so hard without his parents. Hopefully he can open up with Lois soon. At least he has Cat, even though I do not really like Cat. She still is not as bad or manipulative as Lana. I never thought I would say such a thing, but it is true. Cat isn’t at all like Lana. She has accepted both sides of Clark. She’s been a good friend and tried to help him out of jams. Sure, she a huge flirt, but that’s just who she is. Considering she thinks he is a freak, quite possible. Perhaps there was another reason. This is not at all Clark's fault. Not at all. But he blames himself for not ever making her happy. No, it is not his fault. He tried as hard as he could. He protected her as much as he could. Nobody can accept blame like Clark. I don't see why he is even trying to hide his identity here. No one really would know one way or the other. He doesn’t want people to associate him with the Kents, thereby having others (Maisie) ask too many questions. I still really do not see how Lois had misunderstood his question, missed the very deep hurt he is in at this moment. She hadn’t missed the deep hurt, but misunderstood his statement. I wouldn’t say it’s a “lie”, more of a wrong answer. Good point. This is what he needed to hear. Yep. I think he is being too harsh on himself. He’s having a bad day… and it’s only going to get worse. Hmm, I am still waiting to see Clark's reaction to learning Rachel is dead. We really did not even get bach to where we were at the end of part 50, we are at least 5 minutes earlier in time. They hadn’t mentioned Rachel’s death in Part 50, but there’s like two mintues out from where Part 50 ended. Well, I think Lois helped a little by mentioning his saving her at EPRAD. Still, it would be nice if she would have brought up how he helped her after she was shot as well. It would have helped if he had told her a little more. It would have been hard, but I think he could have done it. True. But it wasn’t the time or place. He should have said "That lady looks eactly like a woman I knew who had an expeirnece that I got her out of, but not soon enough. We dated for a long time, but I never was able to make her happy like that lady was." OK, then he would have had to say the other lady was named Lana, and with Lois in her investigative phase who knows what she would do. Yep. Clearly, this Lana wasn’t ever engaged to Clark. Hmm, I wonder if he will react to what he learns about what it is said Walt did to Rachel by saying "Where I came from it was Lana who Walt tried to rape" or something else equally as outlandish sounding. The first time he met Lois she walked up to him and planted a kiss on his lips that was probably more passionate than any kiss Lana had ever given him. Of course, it was not this Lois, but canon-Lois, but it was a Lois. Maybe not more passionate, but definitely more loving. Heck, with this Lois she is trying to get him into her bed the day he rejects her in his alternate persona. Nothing at all like Lana. Luckily this Lois hasn’t had the experiences (that she can recall) that Lana had. It sounds to me like there was a second incident, after the one with Walt, that really hurt Clark's Lana as well. Yep.

Oh, I loved Enchanted. (Really, I need to break down and finally buy myself a copy of that movie, since nobody else has gotten it for me.) Yes, I remember Gunne Sax as being all the rage in the mid-1980s. Although, the alternative would be Laura Ashley, but I think that’s a bit later in the 80s. (Sadly, I could never fit into her dresses, they were so misshapened to a woman’s body. I did love them though… At the time. I've come to discover that flowerprint is definately NOT my style. [Laugh] ) Weirdly the flowerprinting on my two dresses is only the trim so it's barely an accent.
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
-"Contact" (You're not her jinx, you're her blessing.)

Sydney: More jumping up and down at long parts. Hmmmm. And I thought my parts were long to begin with. Maybe I can keep from reaching 100+ parts by lengthening my postings. Hmmmm. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/g060.gif) But I wouldn't want to overwhelm my Readers. No, best to keep the super long postings to a minimum. CAT: Clark, stop obessing!
CLARK: Who? Me?

Poor girl just is such a bigger-than-life personality, that when she likes kids she seems softened. Yes, Clark sees that as well.  Thanks, Pat.

CLARK: Yes, but you're in Paris and I don't have my super hearing at the moment. CAT: But I can use my phone! But if Cat is still trying to score with Clark, wouldn't she want Lois and Clark to break up? So, you're saying that she's really and truly a friend. Exactly! But you know, in this fic, I am Cat's biggest fan! CAT: I have a fan!

This is an issue not really well explored in some fan-fics that have Lois learning about Clark's special abilities before he goes public. None come to my mind, but I’m betting there must be one out there. Carol M wrote two very long fics that involve Clark telling Lois about his alien nature not only before he goes public but months into their marriage. Of course in one case it was a shotgun marriage following his impregnating her while suffering from Krptonite poisoning and in the other case they were still not even close to consummating the marriage. Lois is right. If she had applied the right pressure, Clark / Superman would have folded easily. CLARK: I wouldn’t say “easily”. CAT: Easily. LOIS: Easily. JIMMY (both): Easily. PERRY: Easily. CLARK: Fine, rub it in. CAT: Oooh! Let me. LOIS: Hands off! Well, I realize this. Even though Lois gives the reason to herself that Superman could run away, it always has seemed in my reading of this story that she really wants him to come to her willingly.

Michael: Another 4-Part FDK! See, all I need to get super long FDK is write super long parts, right?  Fun part! Looking forward to part 52! Michael Wow, that was... er.. concise. (52 is up and running now, BTW). Thanks for the FDK, Michael, glad you enjoyed it. Until next weekend then! . . . . . . . . . . So, not funny? Hope you’ve had a great time getting this alternate vitamin D. /psst. It's hard to get away with short FDK jokes when I've already seen the other parts posted. And it rained all weekend, but my new iPhone gave me all the vitamin D I needed, right?/ He really didn’t get fostered to…Uumm…the lower-class homes on the other side of Hobbs Bay? Nope. Anyway, the only people he saw swearing growing up weren't really people he wanted to emulate. Either that or get dissected like a frog. 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other. /points at earlier remarks on his lack of investigative skills and deductive reasoning/ CLARK: I really do need Lois, don't I? /hands Clark a winning check for a dinner for two at Chateau Roberge/ CLARK: Ooooh. I could take Cat when we get back to Metropolis. Since Lois certainly isn't going to go anywhere with me. CAT: CLARK: What? I was 16, of course I looked! Yeah, she *was* popular, all right. CLARK: Again, BEFORE we started dating. After we started dating she changed her tune. Wait, Rachel was standing right next to him? What if she was his girlfriend? LANA: Like THAT would matter to guys. Anyway, WHO in their right mind would date HER over me? Why *wasn’t* she his girlfriend? Is that like one of those teen movies? You know, like Teenwolf? Pretty much. Rachel was his best friend. They may have gone to dances together his senior year, but they didn't really date. And they didn't become intimate until after she graduated from high school (a year after Clark). Ugh. But hey, it could be worse. It could be Dan and Lois.  Hey, thanks for the suggestion.

Up to no good. WALT: Just having some fun. CLARK: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/boese/n030.gif) Also, she sounded like she already bounced on (sic) guy to guy. He particular drunk? Yes, she was friendly, and yes, according to Thomas (of this dimension) Walt had taken a pint of his dad's alcohol with him. So, she still un-plucked after all? A woman doesn't have to be a virgin for it to be rape. She could also have had relations with the man before. It's rape when it's against her will. WALT: Fine. You on the pill or shall I…? WALT: Like I care. Ooooh! Just like Back to the Future. Also, I doubt Walt actually got to do more than grab her and rip her clothes. Otherwise, he’s pants would still be kinda down at his ankles and stuff. Removal of body parts is still an option. Yes, sorry, homage to Back to the Future, but I couldn't think of a better way to do it.  CLARK: I don't remove those body parts. I might burn them off, but I don't want to touch another man's... er... privates. So, she gets deposited back home by the town ne’er-do-well in a battered truck, her dress looking really worse for the wear. Do they really think that’s a good idea? LANA: I snuck in. Nobody saw Clark. He didn't walk me to the door. Yeah, and you can’t tell the Sheriff about breaking up an attempted date-rape. He could, but at the time Mr. Harris ran the hardware store. Clark wouldn't have spread rumors about Lana anyway. Yeah. And since Lana kept shut up… Most rapes aren't reported. Oh dear. Sounds about right. LANA: Anyway, it was the mid-80s. FF hair was going out of style. EW: Right, Lana, whatever you say. Alpha Sister: What’s she doing again, greeting that foureyed nerd?
Beta Sister: I have *no* idea. But he does have a nice behind. Zeta Sister: Do you think she'll introduce me? she’s such a lovely contradiction. CLARK: I don't like simple women. Poor guy. Got no idea how this works. CLARK: Insert tab B into slot A. I read the books. Yeah, I guess the scent of cheap cola-vodka and barely held back vomit really isn’t on his list of favorite things to put his tongue into. CLARK: Pretty much. A guilty pleasure! Like Lois and chocolate. CLARK: Well, I felt guilty. Does that count? Pleasure? Kind of, sort of, when she smiled at me. Oh, she’s a year his junior? Yep. Awwwww and four times, even. CLARK: RACHEL: Also, friends with benefits CLARK: I wouldn't have said 'no'. RACHEL: *Now* he tells me! Well, it is a memory. Lana doesn’t like a smart-aleck. LANA: No. Why would I? She’s gonna hate football from now on. LANA: Well, it's a boring sport. I only went to games in high school because I was on the cheer squad and that's where the popular guys were.

Or, maybe it was because of his first rescue. CLARK: Hmmmm. I guess that makes sense. Or the fact that he was running home to Rachel. CLARK: I had already dropped Rachel off at the Harrises. I was living out at the Ross farm at the time. MRS. LANG: I thought so. Yeah. Ne’ver-do-well football jock, he’ll probably end up as an attendant at a gas station, or robbing one. Or, even worse, a farm hand named Jerome.  Clark! I guess that night with Rachel did leave an impression after all. CLARK: It felt good. I can just imagine what it would be like with someone I'm in love with. LANA: Imagine all you want. That's as close as you'll get. Baby? And ‘stay’? At least now we know where he learned to talk to Lois. Oh, you missed my extra note: Baby, It\'s Cold Outside The dialogue from the night when he tries to convince Lana to stay was inspired by this song, music and lyrics by Frank Loesser. I’m guessing she wasn’t before prom night. And it didn’t really sound like she was before she became his girlfriend, either. Unless, that was only during her freshman and sophomore year when some guy just moved faster than she wanted? LANA: I got around in high school and in college. But sometimes a guy would move faster than I wanted, or go where I didn't want him to go, so that's when I called Clark. Yeah, they only have a handful of rapes the entire year instead of each night. And they're never reported. Awwww, she loves him just like a brother.
CLARK: Thank you. LANA: Yes! That's the phrase I was looking for. Thanks. <devil jaw drop> in response to Lana's "soon" comment LANA: Soon, as in decades. Oh my. /goes and picks out nice headstone/ Like Clark wouldn't have been blamed. CLARK: Hush, Lana. You hit your head and lost a couple of minutes. Shall I get you to a hospital? CLARK: I wish I had said that. But at the time, I was thinking, well, now that I've revealed my secret, we're free to move into the bedroom, right? <<crickets>> Right? She really does drink a lot, doesn’t she? ELLEN: I thought she looked familiar. Clark! Then again, he did decide to engage in sexual relations with her; without cigars one might add. CLARK: Why would I smoke? Fallen angel. Hence his weird sex-drive. Although, she should probably run when he gets out the feathered angel-wings for her. LANA: Sex games are fun, but I don't think of Clark like that. LOIS: What a noob.
CAT: Amen, sister Um... Doesn't canon Lois say something similar to canon Clark in Ordinary People? She’s quite the mess after that whole Walt+College thing. Wait, did Walt find her that one weekend in her Junior year? CLARK: Great. Give me nightmares. Or, maybe, this is a different Lana. Maybe the women in Alt-World are all bitcas, if we go by Herb’s wariness about Alt-Lois. It would explain why Clark wanted to change dimensions. HERB: Er... I wouldn't say that exactly. Then again, Rachel had died for it. Rachel's death was purely coincidental. Lois, would you please hit him over the head?
LOIS: *slap* Okay, why?
CLARK: Ou! Why did you do that? And why did you do that *before* he told you the reason?
LOIS: <gives him the "oh, please look, Like she didn't have a reason to punch him"> CLARK: Right, I forgot about that. LOIS: Convenient. Lois?
LOIS: *slap*
CLARK: Hey! CLARK: I meant ME, not you! Three’s the charm.
LOIS: *slap*
CLARK: I’ll just go home now. CLARK: You could just wait until I have my powers back it doesn't hurt as much. LOIS: *slap* She’s a bitca in alt-world. And quite damaged, the poor girl. Yep. Damaged she-devil with lost bounce. Oh, wait, I had her picture here somewhere... here it is: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/teufel/d030.gif)

I really need to catch up on my reading. But since my 20 part cushion is now less than ten, it won't be any time soon. Well, I realize this. Even though Lois gives the reason to herself that Superman could run away, it always has seemed in my reading of this story that she really wants him to come to her willingly. LOIS: Of course, I want him to come willingly. That's why I wanted him to make the first move. Otherwise I would have kissed him long ago.

CLARK: Cell phones didn't work internationally in 1993. I never remember these sorts of things! But after all, it's another dimension... CAT: I told you, Clark! You CAN hear me!

However, the only difference is that Clark died in 1966, so it is essentially the same in 1993, outside of Smallville. Smallville is much more messed up. Well, there are porbably more dead people from Australia to China because Clark did not do his secretive interventions, but not enough for anyone to notice. Alt-Clark came in and saved the Space shuttle, so things are not overly bad.
Our body count over canon is only 2 as far as I can tell. Even Barbara Irig is dead in canon, if a bit differently. Monique Kahn may be arguably another extra dead body, but we don't know she didn;t die in canon, so that might not even really be a change.

CAT: I told you, Clark! You CAN hear me! CLARK: I'm not telepathic. I have no idea what you're talking about. CAT: You can read my mind? Wait a minute. You CAN READ MY MIND?! And you still haven't come to my place for some late night aroboics? ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/boese/e035.gif) CLARK: I said I'm NOT telepathic! Anyway, I lost my powers. I can't hear you! I can't hear you! I can't hear you! CAT: Never mind. Lois, he's all yours. LOIS: Gee, thanks, whatever can I give you in return? Ralph?

Well, there's less dead bodies than in "Another Lois" at least. Yes, we never knew what happened to Monique Kahn in canon. She just disappeared.

See, all I need to get super long FDK is write super long parts, right? ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/froehlich/d025.gif) psst. It's hard to get away with short FDK jokes when I've already seen the other parts posted. I know. I just didn’t want to really shock you or spam the boards. And it rained all weekend, but my new iPhone gave me all the vitamin D I needed, right?/ You loaded the new version of the sun-app, didn’t you? Sun v2.0 Nope. Anyway, the only people he saw swearing growing up weren't really people he wanted to emulate. Like, Walt? CLARK: I really do need Lois, don't I? ER: CLARK: Hmmmm. You're right. I guess I'll go alone. I can eat enough for two. CLARK: Lois minored in griping, I minored in the female form. LOIS: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/boese/a057.gif) CLARK: Trust me, *nobody* would clone Lana. Amnesia is possible, but doubtful, because it's really rare. ER: Right. What about Lex. And define rare? There’s been at least two incidents in three years. Four, if you also count temporally induced amnesia. So, I'm going to go with my fault. Yep, that seems to work. It's my go-to answer for everything. So far, it hasn't let me down, because it works every time. LOIS: :rolleyes: quote: Also, wouldn’t *that* have been a fun surprise?
CLARK: I would have thought so. LANA: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/s022.gif) Yep. It's amazing how far a nice ring will get you with Lana. Walt really should have given Lana his class ring on prom night, huh? being that Lana's reputation was already well established in town. Lane Bank: Get a loan and use it to pay for a night with Lana. Mrs. Lang: They were so in love they couldn't wait to get married.
MAISIE: Right. So, when is she due? LANA: - Who told you?! I mean, that NEVER would have happened!
CLARK: <looks skeptical> quote: Like with Lois now?
CLARK: Yep. Better to be Lois's partner than thrown out with the garbage. I really haven't learned anything in 10 years, have I? ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/g025.gif) LANA: I'm the dead rat in this scenario? I don't *think* so, buddy! CLAKR: Looks unconvinced/ CLARK: Yes, but that was before we started dating. Right... What? /ER2EW/ Is he trying to imply that he *isn’t* a sociopathic stalker? CLARK: Again, BEFORE we started dating. After we started dating she changed her tune. Hopeless. quote: Wait, Rachel was standing right next to him? What if she was his girlfriend?
LANA: Like THAT would matter to guys. Anyway, WHO in their right mind would date HER over me? Yep. Bitca. Up to no good.
WALT: Just having some fun.
CLARK: <Clark’s having some fun, too> A woman doesn't have to be a virgin for it to be rape. She could also have had relations with the man before. It's rape when it's against her will. That’s true. It’s just very surprising that she would be unwilling in that situation, read: old badboy boytoy, alcohol, party. Unless it’s been that time of the month? CLARK: I don't remove those body parts. I might burn them off, but I don't want to touch another man's... er... privates. Zeta Sister: Do you think she'll introduce me? CLARK: I don't like simple women. /hands Clark a Rubic’s cube/ CLARK: Insert tab B into slot A. I read the books. Good thing Lois got such a thoughtful sister. /goes and buys Energizer stocks/ RACHEL: *Now* he tells me! CLARK: Oh, they did. I missed it because I was doing homework. LOIS:

The former really doesn't apply to me. I just referred them to the free clinic. Michael

Michael: Look. I'm almost all caught up!  <insert scene from The Graduate> Hotter girl at Met-U. And she would even put out. Well, for him. If he’s editor. Like Clark had time to search all the universities for women hotter than Lana when he already had, well, dating rights. CLARK: I also like high maintenence. It's probably why I was never attracted to Cat. CAT: I *CAN* be high maintenence. True. He *must* have pushed her after he found out that she’s pregnant. CLARK: But I WANTED to get married! Poor guy. Really doesn’t have enough blood to go around, does he? And nobody to give him a blood tranfusion. <<shakes head sadly>> I don't pay close attention to scandals. Hmm…possibly. But she was mad at the time. Actually I believe she was trying to convince Clark that she loved Clark for himself not for his powers. <picture usually associated with Virginia> It's only a coincidence that Lana and I look alike. I swear. Just because we look similar and like to torture Clark, and Lois, and... Hey, look, something shiny! ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/s020.gif)
