A day in the Office

This is a little short story I wrote about Lois and Clark. I do not own any of the characters in Superman. Lois and Clark belong to DC comics.

“Kent!” a flustered and breathless Lois Lane yelled while searching the explosive newsroom “Clark Kent, where the hell are you?”
“I’m right here Miss. Lane” called a familiar voice
Lois turned and saw her ‘partner in crime’ the dorky Clark Kent. He was a tall innocent farm boy who traveled all the way to Metropolis to become a reporter. How Lois got stuck with the clumsy four-eyes she would never know. Especially considering he always seemed to disappear.
“Where the hell have you been?” Lois shouted “I’ve been calling you for the past 10 minutes!”
“Yeah, I can see that Lois” Clark replied showing his devilishly handsome smile “What is the emergency?”
“Perry called for an immediate staff meeting” Lois explained
“Staff meeting” Kent looked confused “About what?”
“About what!” Lois nearly screamed “ about this new high flying, super-strong hero! That’s what the meeting is about. I swear Kent for a reporter you are not very observant”
“What has he done recently that would attract this much press?” Clark asked sounding surprised
“Well aside from saving me” Lois reasoned seeming very defensive for a man she literally just met “He saved 5 people in a burning building before the firemen could even get there! And do you know what else?”
“No and nor do I care” Clark replied “But it seems I am going to find out anyway”
This was invitation enough for Lois to explain the juicy gossip she just received.
“Well, rumor has it that this man can’t be killed”
“What?” Clarks shock was actually genuine, he did not believe that the people would realize so soon that he was indestructible. “What do you mean he can’t be killed?”
“According to these whit nesses” Lois then showed Clark pictures of the victims from the fire “there were no burns on his body and yet he was right in the middle of the fire. Clark this man could go to the core of the sun and not be affected by it”
“Unless the sun actually fueled his powers” Clark said before realizing the mistake he had made
“Yeah, I guess that could be a possibility Kent” luckily Lois only thought it was a bright suggestion “You know Kent for being an annoying moron, you’re pretty smart and have some good insight. I think you’re right about the whole sun enhancing powers possibility. It would make a whole lot more sense if this guy was just some superhuman than someone who gets a kick out of dressing up in a costume and saving people. He most certainly isn’t your average Joe or plain Jane like you and me”
“Lois” Clark then grabbed her hand and pulled Lois in much closer than she ever though she could handle and as much as she wanted to pull away she realized that she enjoyed being close to Clark “you are anything but plain”
“Awww” Lois said while playfully punching Clark in the arm. She was surprised to realize that her fist had a small twinge of pain. Who knew farm boy Kent was so sturdy? “Thanks Kent. But, seriously Perry is going to have both our heads on a silver platter if we do not head over to the conference room right now!”
Lois then started pushing Clark out the newsroom and toward the crowded conference room. Most of the Daily Planet’s employees where already seated at the table with Perry White, the editor and chief of the Daily Planet, at the head of the table. With, as usual, a sour expression on his face. Clark and Lois tried their best to not stand out as they quietly entered the conference room, considering they were the last ones to enter the meeting.
“Well” called a raspy old voice “glad to see you two could finally join us Lois and Clark. Why don’t you two have a seat?”
“Yes chief” was all the two could say as they found two seats that were in close proximity to Perry. As Lois took her seat next to Clark she realized at that moment that she would never have her own career. She would always be matched with her clumsy, goofy, dorky partner. To be forever known as Lois and Clark.

The Fishies in the Sea

I may sound like a complete dork...but I love the first day of school. I love the sound of leaves crunching as you walk over to the cafeteria. I love getting to class early to talk to the teacher and talk about an assignment. I love learning new things and feeling as though I am accomplishing something truly remarkable. I don't know if that's something I could be able to say 13 years ago.
I also love going to a school where the men are actually pleasing to look at. Honestly, I went to a High School where there were really pretty girls...not really attractive guys. So you can guess my complete and utter bliss when I saw all these men. Short men, tall men. buff men. scrawny men, men who have piercings and men who have "Fros". There was even a guy in my Piano class. He had a beard and a long brown ponytail. He was wearing shoes where you could see the individual toes and wore a tight green tank top. This actually benefitted him because it showed off his fairly impressive bicsepes and toned skin. Due to the arms I found him fairly attractive. He kinda reminded me of Hyde from 'That 70's Show'. It was kinda cool man.
Again, it's so refreshing to be back at school. I don't know about you people, but I tried online classes...didn't work out so well for me. I can't wait till I can get my 90 trasferable credits and transfer to the University of Washington Nursing School. That's in Seattle. And don't get all hissy with me about why I would I want to got there since it rains almost every day. For your information...I love the rain. It's cleansing. Plus they are known for their music and coffee (not that I drink any). Tell me about your experiences with men. A friend of mine is going to a school where it's 80% girls...tough luck.
Till next time

Where have all the good men gone?

I mean honestly where are they? Did they just evaporate into thin air? Finding a good man who you are attracted too is similar to finding a reliable used car for under $6,000. It can be done...but it is extremely difficult and takes time. See you have to do the research for the car and make sure that it hasn't been in any accidents or looks bad. You want to make sure that it runs correctly and that is passes SMOG. It's similar with a guy. In order to find the right guy you have to do some searching. If there's a connection you have to see if you both have anything in common. You never want a guy who gets around or treats you like your nothing. And though it's not a necessity, every girl wants someone who is attractive. They also have to pass the parent test.
Not all of those things happens. And sometimes they guy did pass it all and then you realize that he's a complete Jerk you doesn't treat you right.
I am writing this because I hope to find love. I wish to God that I could have a guy exactly like Clark Kent. Seriously, he is my dream man. Dorky, sweet, shy, athletic, heroic, kind, simple, hearty appitete, and completely devoted to the woman he loves. Why can't I find a guy like that? But that's my problem, I want a man who doesn't exist. The reality is that men want action not romance. They don't care about the woman's feelings. I bet they would rather have it if we didn't speak at all. That is the reality. However, I am still hopefull and through my adventures I hope to solve my infatuation with the symbol of Superman. Till next time.
