Chapter 7: Never Before and Never Again
They made a quick pit stop at a carnival to stretch their legs and get a bite to eat. As they looked around, they passed a booth for a pageant for Bogen County.
"It's time to announce the winner of this year's Bogen County Beauty Pageant." The announcer said.
"You think we should take a look, guys?" John asked.
"Eh." Clark said. "What harm could it do?"
"Wow!" Oliver called out as the runners up came through. "What women!"
"Hey!" Chloe called out.
"Oh!" Oliver said quickly. "No offense, Chloe."
"Now before announcing the winner, I think we should thank the celebrity judges." The announcer continued. "Flash and Green Lantern."
Everyone applauded.
"You're not gonna believe who the winner is, folks." Flash groaned.
"Oh come on now, Jay." Green Lantern replied. "It's their fic."
"And here she is, folks!" The announcer called out. "The new Miss Bogen County! Lois Lane!"
Lois Lane came out enamored and waved at everyone. She had beautiful brown hair and green eyes.
"Oh thank you everyone!" Lois called out. "Thank you so much!"
Clark was looking at her when their eyes met, and they couldn't stop staring at each other.
Never Before… Have two souls met so freely
And so fast…
For me this is the first time,
And the last…
Is this an angel's wish for men?
Never before… and never again…
And where to find the words to sing its worth.
This love was bound for heaven, not for Earth.
This love was meant to light the stars.
But when we touched, we made it ours.
And could they take it back?
No they wouldn't dare.
Why should they take it back,
When we're in love?
To share with all the world,
And fill the heavens above…
With left over love!
Never before…!
A love that keeps on going on and on!
To fill each other's hearts and meet the dawn!
Is this an angel's wish for men?!
Never before… And never again ...!
Never before… And never again . . .!
Lois quickly walked up to Clark.
"Hi." Lois said nervously.
"Hi." Clark said nervously as well. "Uh, congratulations on winning the beauty contest."
"Oh thank you." Lois said. "Though, this isn't my usual forte. I'm really an actress/model/investigative reporter."
"Wow." Oliver said.
"You know, we're gonna be performers too." Clark said.
"They are so smitten." Chloe observed.
"Oh yeah." John agreed. "Hey Clark, are we still getting some ice cream?"
"Oh yeah." Clark answered. "In a minute."
The others walked off.
"So what are you doing in town?" Lois asked.
"Oh, we're heading west." Clark explained.
"Ooh…" Lois said enamored. "Really?"
"Yeah." Clark answered. "I really should meet up with my friends though for the ice cream… Hey, wanna join us?"
"Me?!" Lois called out excitedly. "Yes! Yes! Just-just give me a minute!"
Lois then rushed off.
"And who says women being excitable is a myth." Clark sighed.
"A what?" Lois asked just before leaving.
"A my-" Clark said before stopping himself.
"Trust me." Clark said. "It was a weak gag."
"Alright." Lois said as she walked off.
Aw… The Nostalgia Critic is right. Two of the same joke being enough isn't a myth.
Lois: A what?
Me: A myth. MYTH!
Red boa lady: Yes?
Me: Oh, not again.
