Last Resort
Summary: Isolated from her friends by her engagement to Lex, Lois reailises there is still one 'friend' that she hasn't called yet.
Disclaimer: I in no way own Lois and Clark aka. The New Adventures of Superman. Nor do i understand why it was given a different title here in Britain.
Lois sat in her apartment staring at the phone; she didn't really want to make this call did she? Picking it up she dialled the first two numbers before hanging up again. No she really couldn't; her pride wouldn't let her. It wasn't as if they'd appreciate her call anyway, it wasn't as if they were close, barely even friends.
Still she could use any friend she could get at the moment, couldn't she? Resolved to make the call she picked up the phone once more.
Bring, Bring
Bring, Bring
Bring, Bring'No ones home' thought the reporter desperately, 'oh well too bad. At least I tried.'
"Hello?"
'Damn.'
"Hi," she began nervously, "it's um Lois."
"Lois?"
"Yeah it's me. I guess you're surprised: I can call back later if your busy or…"
"You're babbling Lois."
"Oh right. Well, er how are you?"
Stupid!"I'm great Lois, having the time of my life."
"Oh. Well that's good, I'll leave you to it then…"
"Lois why did you call?
"Well, I guess you heard about my engagement?"
"Yes, I did. Congratulations."
"I was wondering if you… well if maybe you'd like to have lunch together sometime or… but if you don't want to that's great you know cause I'm fine and we never really got on anyway did we so maybe this isn't such a good idea…"
"Lonely Lois?"
"No! Not at all and if you're going to be like that… you know let's just forget it…"
"I'll have lunch with you Lois."
"You will! You will? All right, so what day is good for you? I'm free tomorrow"
"Hmmm tomorrow. I do have a small gap in my social schedule tomorrow at about 1?"
"That sounds ok. Shall we meet at the Dino's Café?"
"Alright Lois. I guess I'll see you then."
"Thanks… um great."
"Bye Lois."
"Bye… umm… Cat! Wait!"
"What is it Lois?"
"Can you do me a favour?" asked the reporter, finding herself imagining the woman raising a single stylishly plucked eyebrow incredulously.
"What Lois?"
"Cat, I need a bridesmaid…"
The End.
A/N Well i have no idea where that came from but its been bugging me for a while. Slighlty AU i guess since it has Cat in it at this point... Reviews?
