Maybe if I ask your Dad and Mom...
"So when do you have to be home?" he asks as they take their seats in the back row of the movie theatre.
"My parents said no later than 10:00," she replies with a frown.
"Your parents are just as strict as mine," he remarks as they snack on their popcorn.
"I know," turning to look at him. "What about you? What time did you say you had to be home?" she asks.
"The same. 10:00," taking a sip of soda.
"I don't know why they have to be so strict," putting her soda down. "I've never given them any reason to not trust me," she says with a sigh.
"Well unfortunately I take after my Dad so..." shrugging his shoulders.
"I don't think you're quite as bad as your Dad was when he was our age," she remarks.
"You're right," he says with a smile. "At least I didn't have to go to boarding school like he did."
"True," returning his smile with one of her own. "I'm glad you didn't," laying her hand over his.
"Me too," resting his other hand over hers.
Their hands let go as the lights lower while the first of several commercials begin to play. "Now why do they have to play commercials in the theatre anyway?" watching yet another one for an automobile.
"I can't stand them," agreeing with him. "I don't mind the sneak previews, but commercials?"
"Yeah," nodding his head in agreement. They continue to watch them in a comfortable silence until he finally speaks up. "I've been thinking about something for the last few days."
She turns to look at him. "About what?"
"Well..." hesitating a little.
She looks curiously at him. "Is everything okay?" taking his hand again. "You seem a little nervous all of a sudden. Whatever it is, just come out with it."
"You're right," taking a deep breath.
I hope it's about the Junior Prom.
I hope she says yes. "I know it's old fashioned, but I was thinking of maybe asking your Dad and Mom..."
A/N: In case you haven't guessed it yet, the boy that Clark and Lois daughter is on a date with is Oliver and Dinah's son.
