Title: #1 Dyslexic

Rating: K+

Author: Katlynne (LoisClarkNLove) with a little help from the awesome, CaptainTightPants12 (it's fairly obvious if you've read his work where he helped out ;) so don't forget to give him a little love).

Character Warning: If you aren't familiar with my other work, Lilly is Clark and Lois' daughter. Her whole story should becoming... soonish and that's all I can say for now ;)

A/N: Hello everyone! So I decided that instead of creating a new story every single time I have a one-shot to post, I would post them all under the same 'story'. These are just random one-shots that don't for the most part have overlapping story lines. I know I have teased a multi-chapter story more than a few times... trust me, I'm working on them but I've been busy and haven't been able to finish them. So instead when I randomly come up with an idea for a one-shot, I'll be posting them here as chapters. I hope you enjoy them, and enjoy this one! I reposted this story because the website messed up!

"I swear, if this is because she lit another kid's feet on fire again, I'm going to personally install a blue-k anklet on her!" huffed Lois as she waited outside the classroom with Clark, who was feeling a tiny bit guilty.

"...she only did that because someone said Superman was dumb," he muttered softly.

Lois whipped around to whisper angrily, "And J'onn had to come and mind wipe the whole class!"

He smirked slightly, "I remember a certain person gluing Cat to her desk chair because she said Superman was superficial..."

"Neither Perry, or you for that matter, could prove it was me," she said quickly, folding her arms with a proud smirk.

He chuckled to himself, "Uhuh."

"Mr. and Mrs. Kent?"

They looked up to see Ms. Janisch standing in the doorway, holding the door to let them in.

Lois smiled a begrudging smile, "It's Lane-Kent."

Clark rolled his eyes as he followed her into the room, giving the teacher a small nod. Ms. Janisch smiled sweetly as she took her seat across from the couple. "Of course, I'm sorry."

Lois gave her an uneasy look, "So..."

"This may be hard to hear," started off Ms. Janisch with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

Clark sighed quietly, 'This is the part where we hear she's too much like her mother...'

"You see, Lilly is having trouble in reading and writing. She's having trouble identifying phonics and spelling. After we took a level evaluating test as a class to track progress, it seems that Lilly is currently reading at a first grade level rather than a second grade level. With you permission, I would like to have to tested b the special education department for dyslexia."

She stopped to let them soak it in. Clark sighed in relief, 'no fires...', Lois could read his mind and rolled her eyes.

Ms. Janish took their silence as a sign to continue. "I have a pamphlet here about dyslexia, the test she would be taking, and where we might for form here if she does indeed have dyslexia," she said as she handed them the pamphlet.

"Having Lilly tested seems like the right idea, can I ask why you thought we'd be upset?" he asked.

"Some parents believe that having their child tested means that it's their fault, that they aren't good enough parents or that we are singling out their child for some reason. Some parents get very upset," she answered.

Lois frowned, "Well, can I ask how she could have gotten dyslexia?"

"It's generally genetic."

They glanced at each other, each one wondering where she might have gotten it from.

"If you have no objections, I'd like to have her assigned her test next Monday. She'll substitute it during her gym and art classes that day," offered Ms. Janisch. Neither Lois nor Clark had any objections.

"That sounds good to me," smiled Clark.

With a nod, Ms. Janisch stood up. "After her results have been reviews, we'll schedule another meeting with the special education department to design an IEP if Lilly needs it. Information on the IEP is also in the pamphlet."

"Thank you," offered Clark with a smile. Lois followed suit as they left the classroom.

the next day. . .

"So, where do you think she gets it from?" asked Chloe, perched on the corner of Clark's desk.

Clark shrugged. "I'm not sure. I've never had any trouble reading as a kid, and I doubt it would have come from Jor-El or my mother. Though I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask him the next time I'm up North."

"That's not a bad idea," she said as she read through the sign of dyslexia in the pamphlet. "The majority of people that have dyslexia have problems with speech sounds in words, or problems learning how each letter represents those sounds. The main difficulty with dyslexia is in spelling, writing, reading fluency, and word recognition."

"Hey! Smallville!"

They turned to see Lois typing away at her computer. "Yeah?"

"How do you spell 'excuse?'" Does it start with an 'a-c' or an 'a-x'?" Chloe and Clark exchanged looks before starting to laugh, Lois gave them an annoyed look. "What are you two yucking it up about?"

Chloe quirked her eyebrows, "I think we just solved the mystery of Lilly's dyslexia."

Lois gave her a slightly confused look before shrugging, she looked at Clark. "Smallville? The word?"

He grinned, "Excuse is spelled e-x-c-u-s-e, dear."

"I knew that," she snarked back, but looked back to give him a saucy thank-you smile all the same.

Clark chuckled to himself for a moment before Chloe gave him a little bit of a poke with her elbow.

"I wouldn't laugh it up too much there, Clark, you'd sure hate if her dyslexia made her put the L-L instead of the S-S at the end of you favorite word that starts with K-I," quipped Chloe. It took Clark a moment to figure out what she meant.

Gulp.
