“Oh, this?” he chuckled. “Maybe I shouldn’t carry my stuff around in a box. It seems to give everyone the wrong impression. Wells raised a hand. “All right, you wish to stay here. Nevertheless, what about your home universe? Are you going to leave it without a Superman? Those people need you just as much as these people do,” Herb reminded him. CLARK: They may please go and do as I just told Herb he may do to himself. After all, they killed their Lois. They deserve whatever they’re dealt. With the realization that he would have to return to his home dimension, if they were able to rescue this dimension’s Clark, his stomach sank like concrete. How could he return to being always Superman, rarely Clark, and nobody’s “Chuck”? There’s been at least one Clark who chugged down green Krytponite. And another, who found out that some red Kryptonite has effects on him like heroine has on humans. He never wanted to think of, let alone see, or – heaven forbid – deal with that woman again. If he returned, he knew he would have to. Maybe if he got a good lawyer and got a restraining order? Try as hard as Herb had to find him a Lois without a Clark, the writer hadn’t succeeded. Instead, he had found a Lois with a missing Clark. Still enough time for PML! I’d also like time to capture and put Lex Luthor behind bars. If things go south, he can always zap him. Herb stared at Clark. “Something happened in the 1850s that changed history?”
“Prior to the 1850s, the histories of my dimension and of this one match.” And we all know what happens after the Heatwave. Michael

Michael: Yea! A Christmas FDK! Just what I wanted. Thank you. A man fond of generating lots of hot gas? Herb? I mean, Tempus? I mean, Ralph? Oh, right. Lex. So, if Lois awoke to a Clark-less desk still covered in Clarks-tuff instead of to a Clark waking her while carrying a fired-box? CLARK: Er... <<looking very sheepish>> ...um... CLARK: Dear Santa, I have been a very good boy this year. Really, I only peeped at Lois a few times each week. And only when she was in the shower or changing. Not while she was taking care of her personal business. Like Ralph would do. So, since I was so good, I was hoping for a little bit more brains this Christmas. <<right, Canon Clark, everyone believes you>> /hopes he’s not going to hold his breath and then faint of asphyxiation/ Even Lex... to his face. And we all know what happens after the Heatwave. Witness? Christmas? Oh, right, didn't I A/N that? Hmmmm. Better go back and check.

Yea! A Christmas FDK! Just what I wanted. Thank you. You’re very welcome. I tried for a bigger present. But… /points at Naughty FDK/ /nods/ quote: Sounds like she could use lots of cuddling with Clark in his bed.
CLARK: <wouldn’t know what to do with a naked and willing Lois in his boudoir if she drew him a diagram> quote: Did Clark just, in a very polite way, inform Herb that he may please go put things where they don’t belong?
CLARK: Er... um... well... - Possibly. Clark! Nah. He'd just dump her once Superman bolted the universe. Quite literally, probably. I hear there’s a special section in the Metropolis landfill… quote:So, you’re saying he’s not lying to Lois. Not manipulating her so she falls in love with him?
No, he didn't say that. He said, he wasn't going off killing people, stealing their money, and pretending that he was an all around good semariatan at the same time. Michael

That it makes for lots of tension and fun for the reader? Oh, are you saying I don't have enough tension and fun for the reader in this story without Clark trying to off himself? So, he should make her go poof? CLARK: Um... guys, really frown upon killing people. Especially ex-girlfriends. It's a bad precident. LEX: Don't knock it until you've tried it, I say. EW: Hmmmm. What would happen if Zara and Nor showed up here?
ER: <<Gets popcorn>> Um.... don't they show up in like 1996? It's still 1993 Does that still count as murder? Or is it like Groundhog Day? And is Lois Phil? I doubt it. Maybe the piano teacher. Because in GD, he's trying to off Phil. Did you notice that because he was moving his lips? Nope. I think you did not mention anything in 64-A/N. Also… /taps foot/ *DID* Too! I double checked after writing that, and I HAD. Also, keep reading... One who doesn't read will never arrive to PML, says fortune cookie.

Originally posted by Darth Michael: Oh dear. I’m a tad behind, am I? Sorry. The truth hurts. Well, the first week kind of got absorbed by all sorts of RL and the second one will most very likely go boom with work. So, Today’s my LnC Christmas vacation! How is it a vacation if you're working? I hope to start it before she’s done posting. I don't think it will be a problem. She's only posting one part per week, and it looks to be a long one. Sigh. Another week of waiting until Part 9 posts. LOIS: Tricks? Oh, come on. He doesn't need tricks.
CAT: Boooooring. LOIS: Some of us are just more traditional. CAT: Well, I guess he can go all night long... LOIS: WHAT? How do you know that? And MINE! So, TOTALLY Mine! CLARK: Well, she hasn’t given him an in-depth examination yet like Lex would want her to do to Lex. CAT: And she hasn't noticed he flies. LOIS: What?! CLARK: Awwwww, poor hapless (sic) Clark. CAT: You should have gone with chocolate instead of pastrami. CLARK: Live and learn. CAT: - Something did, darling, something more intimate than sex ER: Awww, they’re friends. LOIS: Is that like the math game where you cut the distance in half on every step you take to the finish line. Like what Clark and Lois are doing in the dating game? PML will show up before halfway until the end of this story... or not. Is that what you wanted to know?

How is it a vacation if you're working? Exactly. Hence the ‘boom’. Sigh. Another week of waiting until Part 9 posts. I’ll get to read many a part before I’ll have to wait! quote: Since he’s illiterate, she’ll take the hands-on approach?
LOIS: <innocent Lois> WAIT a gosh darn minute. Did you just call me illiterate?! <ticked off Lois> Shhhhh shhh… that was just a typo up there. quote: ALT-RACHEL: Yep. *I* was there first. And second. Third. Fourth. And then he never called again.
CLARK: <<coughing>> You moved, left no forwarding address or phone number. ALT-RACHEL: And that makes it my fault how? LOIS: Some of us are just more traditional.
CAT: Well, I guess he can go all night long...
LOIS: WHAT? How do you know that? And MINE! So, TOTALLY Mine! Michael

LOIS: ALT-RACHEL: And that makes it my fault how? CLARK: That’s the problem. You have to survive *first*. CLARK: <<Checks off "learn how to survive" on checklist>> I'm invulnerable. TRASK: Really? <<holds out green glowing rock>> CLARK: Nah, only the lack of non-model extra-hot women. CAT: Finally! I can become the evil queen! /points at exhibit ‘A’ and exhibit ‘B’, the time-and-again time-folded Lois/ Tomato - Potato. She still thinks that’s funny. Writers. Torture masters. What’s the difference again? Instruments used for torture?

<adorable smiley> Awwwwwwwww Thanks. Also, /squeezes in final catch-up before jumping into work/ Hey! That sounds familiar. Sounds like someone’s claiming a copyright there quote: Shhhhh shhh… that was just a typo up there.
LOIS: <Lois from Bob’s Identity> quote: ALT-RACHEL: And that makes it my fault how?
CLARK: <realizes that he can’t win with the women of his home dimension> You know, maybe Martha actually twisted the steering wheel into the tree when Jonathan said something unfortunate. Would also explain why Herb wouldn’t want Alt-Clark to meet Alt-Lois, who’s currently serving time on Striker’s Island after getting arrested and deported from the Congo. CLARK: <<Checks off "learn how to survive" on checklist>> I'm invulnerable.
TRASK: Really? <<holds out green glowing rock>>
CLARK: <Oops?> Oops. Instruments used for torture? And the co-dependent relationship forged in one of those situations. Michael

LOIS: <Lois from Bob’s Identity> Lo-Lo? Um... no, more like Lois after she finds out about CK=SM, and "isn't mad". You know, maybe Martha actually twisted the steering wheel into the tree when Jonathan said something unfortunate. Would also explain why Herb wouldn’t want Alt-Clark to meet Alt-Lois, who’s currently serving time on Striker’s Island after getting arrested and deported from the Congo. No, good guess, but that's not what makes Herb nervous about alt-Lois. EW: Instruments used for torture?
ER:And the co-dependent relationship forged in one of those situations. Well, we really do need both for these relationships to work.

<EW very much distraught> Come back soon, ya hear! Oh my. No, I meant, for the day. Squeezed LnC time in before starting the workday. /points at part 7/ Um... no, more like Lois after she finds out about CK=SM, and "isn't mad". Oh dear. Hurt? There there. It was just a typo. Nobody is saying you need an editor to correct the bits of your work were you’ve put wrong letters on the paper. Shh Shh… you’ve got a Clark for that. No, good guess, but that's not what makes Herb nervous about alt-Lois. /is worried about state of fingernails/ quote: EW: Instruments used for torture?

Phew. And then I went to work and it kind of got Saturday… May I recommend dipping them in hot sauce so you'll stop nibbling on them? /looks skeptical and eyes hot mustard usually enjoyed with hot dogs/ Also, gets the keyboard all grimy, so… Michael
