Thanks for the reviews.
Metropolis University
Clark was staying in a friend of Chloe's dorm, since she was in an all girls dorm and guys weren't allowed after 1am. This gave Diana a chance to get ready for her and Clark's date, which was in an hour.
"How does this look?" Diana asked. She was wearing a nice black, skin tight, turtle neck dress shirt, dark blue jeans that flaunted her feminine figure perfectly, but not in a bad way, and her hair had a slight wave to it.
"Wow Diana, you look beautiful!" Chloe exclaimed. All Lois could do was nod her head.
"Are you sure?" she asked "Because I want to make a good impression for this guy, he seems like a keeper."
"Positive!" Chloe confirmed "I don't think I should hang out with you anymore, because compared to you, I look like a dog." She smiled.
Diana laughed. Lois, however, was trying to remain as if nothing was bothering her. She couldn't help but feel jealous though. She always thought that after Clark and Lana broke up, she would be the one trying on one-hundred outfits, trying to make a good impression. She would never admit this in public of course, she wanted to keep her reputation as the tough queen. She couldn't blame Diana though, she was smart enough to actually treat him like a man, and appreciate the small things he did, like pulling out her chair, not as a naive, whiny farmboy like she did.
"Lois!" Chloe snapped her fingers in front of Lois' face, snapping her out of her trance. "I've been calling you for like 5 minutes now. What's wrong, you've been out of it all night?"
"Nothing." Lois assured.
"Are you sure? Because I haven't seen you like this since...well never."
"I..." Lois started when she was interrupted by a knock at the door.
Diana gulped, already nervous about the date.
Chloe smiled at Lois, "Don't worry, we'll continue this talk later." as she ran to open the door.
"Hey Clark!" Chloe said as she moved aside to let him in.
As he walked in he stopped dead in his tracks as he saw Diana, looking beautiful as ever. He also noticed how she was biting her nails, signifying her nervousness. This made him feel a little bit better since he was nervous as well.
Diana was mesmerized. She no longer saw a farmboy decked out in flannel, but instead he was wearing a navy blue collarless, button-less dress shirt that hugged his muscles, and light blue jeans that, according to Diana, hugged his behind perfectly.
Even Chloe and Lois couldn't help but stare. Clark had outdone himself this time. "Why doesn't he wear that more often!" Lois thought. "That way I could stare at his muscles and not be tempted to make fun of his flannel. Oh yeah, he has to impress Diana. IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT LOIS!"
"Ready to go?" Clark asked with a wide grin.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Diana smiled back.
As he stepped aside to let her pass first, he glanced at Lois, who looked at him sadly then down at the floor. "Why is she so sad? Maybe it's because of what I said. Should I apologize? NO!" his mind screamed, "After what she said, she should!" But I can't bare seeing her like that." his heart responded. "Since when do you care at all about Lois?" his mind shot back. "The day she came into my life." His heart responded. "SHUTUP CLARK!" he finally thought.
With that, he sighed and followed Diana out the door. After closing it, Chloe went back to Lois. "Okay cuz, talk to me."
"You'd laugh at me if I told you." she replied hesitantly.
"Try me." Chloe shot back.
"Okay Chlo, but if you laugh, I will hurt you." Lois warned. Chloe just nodded and smiled. "Okay, I have this friend right, and he was a pretty good guy when I first met him, a little annoying but not bad, and his good looks didn't hurt at all. But, just when I kept thinking I had him pegged, he kept on surprising me with his caring ways and selfless heart. But, we had so much fun fighting I couldn't ever tell him. Plus, he was in love with someone else. Anyway, soon they broke up, and despite my attempts not to think that their was a chance for us to become more then friends, I couldn't. I realized that I wanted more, that I began to love him. But, if I ever told him he'd laugh at me, and I screwed up big and may have lost his friendship in a moment of jealousy when he and another girl were flirting. Its been hurting bad since then." Lois finished.
"Well, let's call this someone Clark for informational purposes." Chloe said. Revealing to Lois that she knew who she was talking about. Lois just looked sadly at the floor, trying not to cry. "Don't worry Lois, when it comes to falling for Clark Kent, you've come to the right place. First off, if you want his friendship back, apologize to him. Because he's stubborn and probably won't apologize first. But, don't assume Lana was the source of his occasional pity party, he has more problems then you know. I'd tell you but I think it's up to him as to when you find out. Secondly, he cares about you more than you know, but I hate to tell you, if he does feel the same, you didn't exactly open up the welcome wagon. Just don't treat him like that anymore, show him how much you appreciate him, and maybe he'll show you the side of himself that you don't know, and that you want to know. If I was you, I'd earn his friendship back before trying to earn the chance as a possible romantic for him." Chloe assured.
Lois just nodded and hugged Chloe, showing he gratitude for the pep-talk. The girls then decided to get some popcorn and watch The Notebook.
Doolan's Restaurant
Doolan's was a very expensive, fancy place that had a five star reputation in Metropolis. After parking the truck, Clark rushed towards the passenger side to open the door for Diana. "Thank you." she said. Clark nodded. "So Clark, where are we?" Diana asked.
"You'll see." he smiled.
As he opened the door for her, Diana admired her surroundings, and it was obvious that this was a nice place. She was flattered by Clark's plans for her. "This is a nice place Clark, thanks for taking me here."
"It is no problem at all Diana." Clark assured, "Reservations for Clark Kent please." Clark said to the hostess. "Wow," Diana thought, "he made reservations, this guy is terrific."
As they got their table, Clark pulled out Diana's chair for her. They talked about everything and anything that night. Their pasts, plans for the future, their families, enjoyed some laughs, and really got a good feel for each other. However, Clark found himself thinking of Lois several times during the evening, unknown to Diana. "I hope this boy marries me." Diana thought, "He is so charming, sensitive, funny, and gives off this safe feeling that I could definitely get used too."
"Man," Clark thought, "this girl has everything I have ever wanted in a women, and yet I am still thinking about that army-brat Lois Lane. Why can't I get her out of my head? Give it time Clark." he tried to assure himself, but it wasn't working.
Clark and Diana then took a walk and enjoyed the moonlit nightlife of Metropolis, loving each others company. But, unfortunately, they were met by a mugger. "Wallet and jewelry, NOW!" the man screamed. Clark stepped in front of Diana, but was curious as to why she didn't seem afraid at all, since he didn't know about her powers. "Though I could crush this guy in a second, I love the way he stepped in front of me, this boy is amazing." she thought, despite the situation.
Clark began to give the man his wallet, trying to avoid suspicion. But eve after getting what he wanted, the man cocked the gun. "Sorry kid, but you've seen my face." He then pulled the trigger and Diana screamed. The bullet bounced off Clark's chest and hit the floor. Clark then super-sped at the man and knocked him unconscious. He then hesitantly turned around to a wide-eyed Diana. "Um...Diana, I guess there is something you should know."
After explaining his Kryptonian heritage and everything about him, Diana just smiled, knowing that she could share her secrets with Clark, and he wouldn't judge her. So she did just that and the two of them got closer to each other then they had with most people in their lives, and only on the first date.
Clark then walked back to Chloe's dorm with Diana. When they arrived, she took out her keys and began to fiddle with them, not wanting the night to end just yet. "I had a really great time tonight Clark, aside from the mugger." she joked.
Clark laughed, "Yeah, but it broke a rift that would have been up for a while if it didn't happen, so it worked out well."
Diana agreed, "Yeah it did. And I found out that I have my very own superman to protect me."
"Like you need it...wonder woman." Clark answered back with a huge grin.
"Thank you Clark!" Diana looked up at him with hopeful eyes. "Please kiss me." she thought.
Her wish came true when Clark leaned down and captured her lips with his own in a gentle, yet passionate, kiss. But, unfortunately for him, he couldn't help but wish that it was Lois for a second.
"Good night Diana."
"Goodnight Clark." answered back a dazed Diana. "Oh my God, I hope this boy marries me. If he ever kisses me again, I think I'll jump him and make love to him right on the spot. What lips, what a kiss, WHAT A MAN!" Diana thought.
She then walked in and closed the door. She leaned her back against it and slid down to the floor, still trying to process such a perfect night. She touched her lips and savored Clark's flavor. Lois silently watched her from the couch, pretending to be asleep. And in seeing her reaction, she knew that Clark gave Diana a great date and a great kiss, because every girl knows that look. In that moment, she decided not to give up her chance to be with Clark without a fight.
As Clark walked away from the door, he thought about the night. Although he should be on cloud nine, because this girl was not only perfect for him as a human, but as a super-powered alien as well, because Diana was not far from that herself, he wasn't. He couldn't help but wish that she was Lois, being so perfect for him and accepting him and his secrets. "What are you doing to me Lois Lane?" he thought before heading to bed.
