Very cute... I would love to read the prologue and epilogue (if you felt so inclined).

Hey, Virginia.
This was fun. But I feel like I’m missing the best part. So, what I think I know…
1. Clark did and/or said something that was intended as a joke.
2. Lois responded by kneeing him… well, where it hurts. Really, really hard.
3. As a result of kneeing Clark, Lois has a shattered kneecap.
4. They are at the hospital together.
Or did I miss the point completely???
Now, assmuing that my understanding was correct, my issues:
1. What in the world did Clark do or say to trigger an attempt to maim on the part of Lois? To shatter her kneecap, she REALLY meant to inflict some pain.
2. Clark thinks Lois knows he’s Superman. But does she? Unless he told her, maybe she thinks he’s wearing a steel cup. Maybe Clark was about to go play baseball…
3. What element of this list of things we didn’t see put her on the Naughty List?
None of this interferes with this being a fun short, but I did come away with questions.
In any case, nice short. Thanks for sharing.
Bob

Clark apologized for what felt like the tenth time in five minutes That's not *too* out of the ordinary... as a nurse wheeled Lois into the emergency room. Well, that can't be good. Out of all the ways to reveal to her that he was Superman, this one wasn’t in his top one-thousand. Oh boy. What did lunkhead do? Yeah, getting Lois to admit that she was wrong was probably not anywhere on her to-do list for this century, or the next. <shakes head> “I’m sorry, sir. What is your relationship to the patient?” Next one of her victims? Eventually to be found in a shallow grave in Centennial Park? See? “He’s my fiancé,” Lois corrected.  And only injured Clark's pride. Not his...pride... “I figure since I’m already on Santa’s ‘Naughty List’, what’s one more lie, eh, Smallville?” Cute story! I thought Lois would be too in agony to even speak, but I'm glad she could!

SJH: Thanks for reading. EL: I'm glad you liked it. I have written an Epilogue to hopefully clear up any confusion. Thanks for the suggestion. Bobbart:  Sometimes the best part of the joke is reading between the lines. To answer your questions: 1) Yes. 2) Yes (that's the rumor). 3) Primary diagnosis. 4) Hence the part where Lois is being "wheeled in to the Emergency Room". Did you miss the point? Um... I don't know. Possibly.  Sometimes I hit a point over the head. Sometimes I'm way too subtle. This may have been one of the latter. To the rest of your questions: 1b) If you didn't catch it the first time, I spell it out in the upcoming Epilogue. When Lois gets mad... 2b) It's Christmas time; baseball really isn't in season. Plus... well, maybe I was a *bit* vague. 3b) Hence the joke.  I don't know. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/e025.gif) I wasn't present. Queen of Capes: High praise indeed.  Thank you. Joan: I was trying to be vague enough to stay on the Gfic boards. Thanks. Mrs. Luthor: You keep me in stitches. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for inspiring my funny bone.

Deadly Chakram: Thank you. I think your FDK was longer than my story. That's not *too* out of the ordinary... Twice a minute? Hmmmm. I was going to go with ten times in two minutes, but I thought THAT might be overkill for even Clark. Well, that can't be good. It is Lois. Oh boy. What did lunkhead do? What most lunkheads do. He opened his mouth. Next one of her victims? Eventually to be found in a shallow grave in Centennial Park? <<very worried for Lois>> That's going to suck. I had an aunt who did that. She never could be stairs again all that well after that. Granted, her doctors never actually *replaced* the joint... Hmmmm. She wasn't the doctor, so maybe it wasn't THAT bad. As I mentioned, I'm not a doctor. I'm only related to one by blood. <<approves heartedly>> And only injured Clark's pride. Not his...pride... Well, there's the real end of Utopia. Thank you. I thought Lois would be too in agony to even speak, but I'm glad she could! She's in the shock and awe stage of her injury. Shocked that her knee hurts. Too awed to think about that because she found out that her partner is Superman.

Michael: EW: I just wrote this out in a half-hour.
ER: <<Bangs head against the wall>> Hmmmm. Would you feel better if I said that I'm a fast typist?  What? Lois can't joke back? Did she just accept his proposal? Doesn't explain why she's in the hospital. So, early Season One? Lois now knows he likes to wear tights while she likes her pant suits and decided they make a great couple so he gets to marry her? Or she told the nurses that so he wouldn't run off and hide on her, and she talk to him about what she just learned. She can’t be happy about that one, can she? /remembers her being cut out of a shirt once after a particularly lead filled night out. She hurt her leg this time. ER: <<eyes pop out of head as he imagines that Lois struck a supposedly tender spot on her partner with her patella>> Pretty much. So, just between GGGoH and HiM? Christmas season 1993. Also, I once read in a novel about how applying a piece of lead to the patella via the back of the knee would permanently put you into crutches or a wheelchair. No idea why they disregarded knee replacement surgery, though. She wasn't aiming for the back of Clark's knee. If he should go ring shopping now? Well, she has been kind of dating Superman, right? Okay, it's been mostly in her mind, but still... Also, once her knee is all healed up, she can get *really* naughty with Clark. CLARK: You mean when she finds that chunk of Kryptonite out at Shuster's field? Thanks for reading. Am I forgiven because it's short?

Hmmmm. Would you feel better if I said that I'm a fast typist? ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/traurig/d030.gif) I saw a movie once where that happened (only it was the daughter who stole Mom's birth control pills for herself, substituting sugar pills). It was really funny. It ended up back-firing on both of them. Oops? Also, sounds like a fun comedy. Hmm…Lucy pulling that stunt on Lois… quote: Oh boy. That’s going to be awkward at highschool graduation.
Not his child? No. Child and D-I-V-O-R-C-E. How do you get a lunkhead to upset Lois? You open his mouth, of course. Michael

I believe it was called "Princess and the Pill" but I've never been able to find it anywhere since. No. Child and D-I-V-O-R-C-E. Bad combo. True. Then again, do they even still ask why she’s being admitted? That would be funny. Clark wheels in a very pregnant Lois, periodically screaming and doing lamaze breathing, and the nurse asks, "And what are we here for today?" /has naughty idea what Clark got Lois for Christmas/ Or, maybe Lucy bought it and signed in Clark’s name A new set of crutches? Nono, meant Lois’s knee. Just this time her kneecap got shattered from the front instead of from behind. Oh, right! ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/a050.gif) Those are often the longest running relationships. The kind even a restraining order can’t completely break apart. Which is why Lois won't balk if Clark gets her a ring afterall?  LOIS: Excuse me! CLARK: I can fly you to work. I can cook. I can see through walls. LOIS: Keep talking... CLARK: You mean when she finds that chunk of Kryptonite out at Shuster's field?
ER: Oooooh! Good idea.
CLARK: <<terrified he just gave Lois a good idea>>

Ah…yes… Google didn’t really pop anything up… /puts bunny and some carrots into cardboard box and ships it off to Virginia/ That would be funny. Clark wheels in a very pregnant Lois, periodically screaming and doing lamaze breathing, and the nurse asks, "And what are we here for today?" LOIS: What do you think? /holds up right palm with stiletto knife stuck through/ Umm…if that’s what we want to call it. Which is why Lois won't balk if Clark gets her a ring afterall? [Wink]
LOIS: Excuse me!
CLARK: I can fly you to work. I can cook. I can see through walls.
LOIS: Keep talking... Michael
