Chapter 5

Lois comes down from upstairs in here pink pyjama's and bunny slippers (that we all know and love) and sees the living room empty.

Lois – Where on earth has he gone now? (heads out to the barn) Clark are you up there?

Clark (to himself: ah I can't even get away from here up here) Of cause I am, where else would I be?

Lois – Don't temp me Kent!

Clark – I wouldn't dare.

Lois – I tell you what, why don't we watch a film or something. That way we won't be tempted to kill each other.

(Clark looks unsure)

Oh come on, at least that way we don't have to talk to each other (to herself: why am I saying that, all I want to do is to tell him now I feel)

Clark – Ok (why is she being so nice? maybe… na there's no way, is there?)

They both head into the house, thinking to themselves.

Lois – So what are we going to watch?

Clark – Don't mind just not Pirates of the Caribbean again please

Lois – Oh why not?

Clark – Because ever since you've been here, I've seen that film more times that I care too. You and Chloe and your Johnny Depp/Orlando Bloom film marathons.

Lois – Fine, you choose

Clark – How about Urban Legends then?

Lois – (oh no I hate horror films, but then again Clark doesn't know that) Yeah sure why not, you sort the DVD out and ill get the popcorn (heading to the kitchen)

Lois – Right I'm all ready now (sitting on the other side of the room to Clark)

Clark – Lois, how am I meant to reach the popcorn if you're on the other side of the room?

Lois – Well move then!

Clark – Why me? This sofa is bigger.

Lois – Fine I'll move but don't get too comfy, will you?

Clark – No chance there.

Lois – Good, now put the film on.

As they sit and watch the film, they both begin to get abit more comfortable around each other and Lois is wrapped up in a quilt and puts her feet upon on Clark, but neither of them say anything. After a while, it gets to a scary part and Lois jumps and hides her head in Clark's shoulder. Both of them sit there uncomfortably until

Lois – Sorry, I forgot about that bit.

Clark – Lois Lane the scary cat, who would have thought it! (smiles)

Lois – Watch it or else?

Clark – Or else what?

(Another jumpy bit appears on the screen)

Lois – Ahh

Clark – laughs.

Lois – Ok that's enough of that film.

Clark – But I was watching that.

Lois – I don't care, I'm not going to sleep now and its all you fault.

Clark – Well you said that it was ok

Lois – I know but….

Clark – But what?

Lois – Never mind, I'm going to bed.

Clark – Fine

Lois – Fine (Lois turns and goes up to her room).
