The Obsession Connection

Dear FOLCs,
I have decided to take a break from my usual babblefest of meaningless...well, babble. For the next few newsletters, I'll be posting this fanfic that I wrote. It's called "Krazyworld", and I think the name says it all! LOL :) So be sure to read this column in every newsletter, so that you get the whole story. Because if you don't get the whole story, the story might not make any sense (NOT that it would have, anyway...) Here is is!

Note: This is just a piece of fluff...a long piece of fluff...that I wrote because I wanted to write something where Lois and Clark just have fun together. This story takes place in the early second season, probably right after "Operation: Blackout". Lois and Clark are still just friends, but Clark would like to be more, and Lois doesn't know what she wants! Thanks to Jenn, for making me finish this. Hope you enjoy it!

Krazyworld
By Molly


"Lois, I was wondering--"

"Yes?" Lois said, shuffling through a stack of papers. Only when Clark didn't answer right away did she glance up at him. "Did you want something?"

"Yes, actually," Clark said nervously. This wasn't going to be easy. He adjusted his tie a few times, and prayed he didn't have any food stuck in his teeth.

"Clark, if you've got something to say, say it," Lois said, sounding impatient.

"Okay. Lois--I was wondering. Um, do you want to go to a movie with me?"

Her eyebrows shot up. "Sure," she said, trying to hide a smile, as she quickly turned back to the papers she was sorting. She hoped Clark wouldn't notice the smile.

"You do?" Clark could hardly believe it.

She turned back to him, the smile suppressed, and tried to act cool. "Sure, Clark. You and I are friends. We're allowed to go to the Cineplex every once in awhile. Well, as long as you're paying," she added, jokingly.

"Okay," Clark agreed. "But, Lois--I wasn't. I mean, I didn't really want us to go as--as friends. I was kind of hoping this could be like, like more of a date."

"Clark, you're beginning to stutter," Lois said.

"Sorry!"

"No, it's okay!" Lois assured him. She had to feel sorry for Clark--the poor guy was obviously becoming something of a major wreck. "Now, Clark, listen to me. I'd love to go to the movies with you. And if you want to go as 'more than friends', that's okay, too. But this is not a date."

"Well...what's the difference?" Clark was confused.

"When two people go to the movies as 'just friends', they go to an action movie. When two people go as 'more than friends', they go to a romantic comedy."

Clark nodded. "Go on."

Lois continued. "And when two people go to the movies on a date, it really doesn't matter what they see, because they only care about one thing and one thing only: making out in the back of the theater." Lois smiled, proud of her movie-viewer analysis.

"That's very insightful, Lois," Clark said.

"Thank you, Clark. So, when are we going to the movies as 'more than friends'?"

"How about tomorrow night?" Clark suggested.

"Fine," she said, smiling. "Now we'd better get back to work before Perry explodes. Not that it wouldn't be fun to watch, but think of the mess! It wouldn't be pretty."

"Okay," Clark grinned, and high-tailed it back to his desk, just seconds before Perry bellowed: "Lane! Kent! In my office! Now!"

"Uh-oh, we're in trouble," Clark muttered. He snuck a glance at Lois, who didn't look at all worried about the possible wrath that Perry had in store for them.

"Sit down," Perry ordered, and Clark and Lois sat.

"What's this about, Perry?" Lois asked eagerly. "Is there a scandal? A murder? I need a good story," she added.

Perry shook his head. "I have something even better."

"Ooooh, what is it?"

"Some time off."

Lois just sat there. "You wanna run that by me again?"

Okay, that's all for now, FOLCs, but stay tuned, there's a lot more fanfic where that came from!
