Epilogue
Lane and Kent, the Hottest New Couple in Town
By Catherine Grant
For everyone who worked at the Daily Planet a year and a half ago, it was a foregone conclusion that Lois Lane and Clark Kent would, at some point, become an item. Everyone, that is, except for them. Even the hopelessly smitten Clark Kent couldn't have guessed when successful, hard-bitten, Lois Lane would finally let her eyes see what her heart might well have known all along.
The inevitable first date finally happened Saturday night—a Pearl Jam concert at Metropolis Square Garden. Now, if you know anything about this new power couple, you might be trying to figure out how you missed the fact that they are huge fans of grunge music. You didn't miss it. They are not.
In the ultimate meet-cute redux, Lane and Kent—each thinking the other was a massive Pearl Jam fan and too afraid to miss this first date opportunity for their own lack of interest in the band—agreed to attend last Saturday's sold out Pearl Jam concert together. Each of them made monumental efforts to prepare for the date, hoping to make the best of a date they both desperately wanted at a concert they weren't crazy about.
After making it through the opening act and an accidental trip through the mosh pit, they made their escape to a quieter venue to talk, have a good laugh at themselves and decide that—given their dedication to making this first date work when it shouldn't have at all—it was clear they both wanted to make things official.
So, one year, five months, and seven days after Clark Kent walked into the Daily Planet and fell head over heels for Lois Lane, they finally are an official couple. The office betting pool has come to an end. Gary in accounts, I owe you $20.
