It's getting close to that time of year. Do we all have our plan of action in place?

[He doesn't want to be invited to any spur of the moment weddings... nor does he want to be planning one.]

If you need to be locked up - [he's teasing] I'm sure that can be arranged.

Just, be careful out there. If you need anything on the day, just let me know. I'm staying away from any candy, anything red -- I'm thinking of fasting.

So, are the rumors true? You've returned with memories? If I was nefarious, I'd ask for a brain scan. Instead, I'm just glad to hear you're back.

We should catch up.

Do I want to know?

Lois and I will probably celebrate once Paradisa has finished its own plans, just in case, but suspicious foods should be off-limits anyway.

Even so... looks like we may need a babysitter.

[yeahihidmypants]

They usually are. [Last year was a FLUKE.]

But, what's this about a babysitter? [Oliver will pretend he didn't see that entry the other day just so that Clark can give him ALL the details.]

[luthored]

Unfortunately I'm working, so I'm expecting a very awkward day. But that won't be any different than last year.

The city does tend to end up being the setting for most of these ... events. [The couples pair off in the castle and flee to the city for their romantic instant gratification.]

Keep an extra fire extinguisher on hand. Could come in handy with the -- [Okay, she can't see it, but he's making the little put out he fire with the fire extinguisher gesture...] too hot for the restaurant moments.

You were already banned from dropping by that day, but now you're extra banned.

[Frown PLUS a little grumble sound]

I was planning on reservations, but I guess I'll take my patronage elsewhere. I could've brought you a fire extinguisher.

friends ]

[luthored]

We have one in the kitchen, and I ordered more last week.

[yeahihidmypants]

Do you have a fire hazard problem, Lana?

friends ]

[luthored]

Everything in Paradisa has a fire hazard problem. It only gets worse around holidays or big losses.

But you can make a reservation if you have an actual date.

friends ]

[yeahihidmypants]

I could have a date. [He has been seeing Elektra... not that Elektra would even consider it dating.]

friends ]

[luthored]

Do you need any help turning that could into a do?

[an amused sound]

I'll be makin' sure to think twice before shootin' folks who try anythin'. [it sounds like...she's joking!]

Oliver

[supes]

Ages back, we'd heard from Kara that Lois and I adopted a Kryptonian kid named Chris sometime in the future, in at least one universe. As luck would have it, he showed up the other day.

Clark ]

[yeahihidmypants]

The one that was talking about the Phantom Zone... it wasn't the castle just pulling something on you, then.

[yeahihidmypants]

[lol... what is privacy... stupid friends filter.]

No, I think I can manage on my own. [He was just being a smart ass.]

Oliver

[supes]

That's the one. So it looks like Lois and I are parents again.

friends ]

[yeahihidmypants]

Yes, give them the benefit of the doubt that the castle made them crazy.

Clark ]

[yeahihidmypants]

How is Lois handling the sudden adopted baby?

[fredless]

You're locking people up now, Oliver?

friends ]

[someoneto_carry]

I'll try, but punchin' tends to be impulse.

friends.

[loisfuckinglane]

As I recall, you were the one who we might need a plan of action for.

Oliver

[supes]

Surprised, but it's not like we didn't have practice with Ella. It'll take a little bit to adjust.

friends ]

[yeahihidmypants]

Possibly not.

The castle likes its holidays. Remember Christmas?

Clark ]

[yeahihidmypants]

So, when do you need a babysitter?
