Pheromone My Lovely
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Smallville characters or Kara Zor-El as they all belong to WB Productions & DC Comics.
Author’s Note: This stories set after season 6 episode Arrow & is a take on the season one Lois & Clark episode “Pheromone My Lovely” except I’ve adapted it to Smallville season 6 which’ll have the same outcome as what happened on Lois & Clark but be a little different in that Kara/Supergirl’s in here as is Oliver/Green Arrow who falls for her after been hit by Miranda’s perfume & shows her his secret. Lois falls for Clark like she did on the other show & Jimmy has to explain to Chloe what he’s doing with a ginger haired woman after she spies them together.
Extra Note: Kara/Supergirl’s been staying in an abandoned warehouse
since she left Clark as in not having any I.D. can’t get an apartment. Oliver knows who Supergirl really is after he saw Clark use same powers as her & he told him about her. Lana Lang & Lionel Luthor are not in this episode.
Metropolis Bank Few Weeks Later
3 guys here all wearing balaclava masks are commandeering bags of money outta the front door of the bank. The one standing by the Ford Transit Van yells out.
Masked Guy 1: Hey hurry it up in there.
The 2nd guy throws a bag of money to the 3rd guy.
Masked Guy 2: I’m going as fast as I can.
Then goes into the bank to get the others whilst the 3rd guy throws the one he was just given. They repeat this a few times till the vans loaded up.
Masked Guy 1: Alright let’s get outta here then.
They close the back door & get ready to go inside but are stopped by a mysterious figure dressed up in green with arrows behind their back who calls out to them.
Green Arrow: I don’t think so.
Pulling an arrow out from the back of his holster he places it in between his bow & aims it at one of the masked guys.
Masked Guy 3: Whoa! It’s the Green Arrow.
Masked Guy 2: Run.
The guys turn round to do that but one of them’s hit with a knock out gas arrow making them slump to the floor. The 2nd guy pulls out his gun & aims it at Green Arrow who learning from last time ducks out the way so the bullets don’t hit him. Coming up to him masked guy 1 fights with him hand to hand. Getting the upper hand Green Arrow whacks him hard in the face knocking him out. The 3rd guy scared runs for it but doesn’t get far when he receives an electric tsared arrow in the back shocking him into unconsciousness as well. Walking over & opening up the Ford Transit’s back door the Green Arrow pulls his hood down & takes off his orange sunglasses revealing Oliver Queen smiling down on his handiwork.

Clark’s Bedroom Next Morning
Clark’s deep in Morpheus' arms until the piercing ring of his alarm clock jerks him awake. Instinctively he reaches over to pound the snooze button, but instead flattens the alarm clock into a pancake. Clark looks at his handiwork & shakes his head, then jumps out of bed & quickly takes a shower in the bathroom then speeds it back into his room goes into his closet then exits moments later fully dressed in blue jeans, red chequed shirt & black trainers ready to start chores.

Coming in he sees his Martha finishing off making a cooked breakfast.
Martha: Ah you’re up good.
She sets it down in front of Clark.
Martha:’ There you go. Enjoy.
Clark: Thanks mom.
Clark takes big bites outta his breakfast as he eats it quickly.
Martha: Wow someone’s hungry. Careful you don’t hiccup there.
Looking at her Clark, talks.
Clark: Kryptonian’s don’t hiccup mom.
Martha: & 19 year old boys usually show better manners when eating their breakfast.
Hearing this Clark slows down.
Clark: Sorry mom it’s just I’ve a lot of chores to do & also wanna get to “The Planet” & talk to Chloe about something.
Going around the table Martha picks up a black leather holdall case.
Martha: Well I’ve a meeting with Senator Burke later to talk about my raising platform to get into the “White House” so I’ll see you later son.
Clark: Yeah see you mom.
Martha turns round & walks out the back door.
Abandoned Warehouse Metropolis
Supergirl drinks straight outta a four litre carton of milk which she tosses outta a window afterwards.
Allwyway Outside Warehouse
The milk carton lands in the garbage bin just as a garbage man arrives to push the bin towards his truck.
Inside Warehouse
Just as Supergirl wipes her mouth she hears the sound of garbage truck in the distance, then a look of horror comes over her face as she remembers what she’s done. She super speeds outta the warehouse & races down the alley towards the main street.
Main Street
Supergirl continuing speeding appears behind the truck & stops it by holding onto the side panels. The garbage driver peers out the back to see who it is. Looking at Supergirl he appears shocked at who it is. She reaches into the truck just as its metal jaws are closing & finds the empty milk carton. She pulls it out from inside the truck as the driver gets out. Looking at him Supergirl speaks.
Supergirl: Oh sorry forgot to recycle it.
Launching up she flies off in the air leaving the truck driver stunned.
Newsroom Daily Planet
Chloe Sullivan’s typing on her computer as Perry White comes outta his office.
Perry: Hey Sullivan you doing that story on the Green Arrow robbery heist last night?
Chloe: Yes chief I’m just finishing it off.
Perry: Good.
He goes back to inside his office. Linda Lee newly employed there as a researcher walks by Chloe with a lot of papers.
Chloe: Hey Linda thanks for getting me those details about that Green Arrow heist last night.
Linda: No problems Chloe. Glad I could help.
She goes to walk over to a table but accidently bumps into a mysterious stranger & lets all the papers fall to the floor.
Linda: Oh god I’m so sorry I should’ve watched where I was going.
Looking up she sees Oliver. Linda tries not to blush making it out she already knows him with her face. Oliver looking at, her smiles.
Oliver: (Smiling) No please you don’t have to apologise the faults mine not yours.
He helps her pick up her papers.
Linda: (Smiling) Well I should take that as a compliment then.
Oliver: (Smiling) Please do miss?
Chloe: Lee. Linda Lee. She’s one of our new researchers.
Oliver: (Smiling) Really well welcome to the Planet Miss Lee.
Linda: Thank you Mr. Queen.
Oliver: Please call me Oliver I insist all my employees do that.
Linda: Okay then Oliver.
Going past him she walks away. Oliver turns round looking upon her.
Oliver: Whoa who’s that then Chloe?
Chloe: Oh she’s Clark’s cousin from Minnesota.
Turning round he looks at Chloe surprised.
Oliver: (Surprised) Clark has a cousin? (Thinking to Himself) Does Clark have another kryptonian cousin?
Chloe: Yeah she just got outta, college. She’s visited a few times in the past.
Oliver: Oh right.
Chloe: She’s nice wasn’t she?
Oliver: Yeah she was but I’d loose the brunette though.
Chloe tries to hide her guilt knowing who she really is.
Chloe: Really?
Oliver: Yeah she’d look better blonde.
Chloe: Well I’ll have to tell her that then Oliver.
Oliver: Please do.
He walks off as Perry comes out handing orders.
Perry: Okay people Rick dockworker strike.
He hands the reporter his assignment.
Perry: Sullivan just finishing the Green Arrow Heist?
Chloe: Yes chief.
Jimmy walks by coming up from the photocopy room.
Jimmy: Hey see those two guys?
He points to 2 people one man in a suit, the other in rough workmen's clothes are in each other's faces. Perry noticing this goes over & breaks them up.
Perry: Hey not in my newsroom.
Rick: Hey chief I don’t know if I should do this one man I mean negotiations have broken down again.
Perry: Well then interview the union & management rep separately. Okay Sullivan again about that other article you wrote on the fruit fly infestation could you maybe, if it isn't too much trouble, give it another go? & this time, put some zing into it!
Chloe: Happy to, Chief. It's such an.
She purposely yawns.
Chloe: Exhilarating subject matter.
Jimmy: Here's what I don't understand if this malathion spray is so safe, how come they tell you to put your pets inside when they're using it?
Perry: Precautionary measure.
Just then the door to the conference room opens Rehalia The fifty-ish Ecuadorian janitoress enters to empty the trash bins. She hesitates for a moment, but Perry waves her inside.
Perry: That's okay, Rehalia, come on in. I suppose we should lead with the latest counter-revolution in Russia.
Linda standing, over by a desk talks.
Linda: I believe its counter, counter-revolution, Mr. White.
Perry: Well how am I supposed to know that & keep track of it? What the Sam Hill's going on today?
A gossip column reporter Cat Grant speaks out at that.
Cat: Chief, you remember. Today's the day they're using the newsroom as a backdrop to introduce that new fragrance... 'Exclusive.' Marketing set it up.
Perry: Marketing no, I don't remember.
Cat: Yeah it’s been on for months (Beat) Look there’s Elle Taylor & Rachel Robert & Stephens! I have to get interview.
Perry nods for her to do that. Chloe flops, her head down on her desk.
Jimmy: Hey Chlo what’s up?
Chloe: I can’t think of a last line to write about my Green Arrow story.
Jimmy: I’m sure you’ll come up with something.
Linda: Remember Mr. White we’ve got the other press from The Metropolis Star & Inquisitor coming over for the launch also.
Perry: Oh great it’s goanna have a field day here.
Rick's staring at the girls as they file in.
Rick: Hey wonder if I could get one of those chief.
He points but Perry turns away.
Perry: I can't look, Rick. Alice would have my hide.
Looking a little quizzical Linda speaks to Chloe & Jimmy.
Linda: Alice?
Jimmy: The chief’s wife.
Linda: Oh.
Turning to Perry she talks to him.
Linda: I’m sorry Mr. White but um how would she find out?
Perry: The woman has spies everywhere.
Lex’s Study
Two Fencers, in masks & full gear, duel the length of the room, knocking over furniture, smashing a vase, etc one leaps up on the desk to escape certain death, then leaps off again to thrust, finds an opening in his attacker's side. A tiny spot of blood seeps through the material. The fencers remove their masks. The victor
Lex Luthor bows to his Fencing Partner, who returns the bow, then exits the room, holding his side. A Luthor Corp employee called Nigel enters the room.
Nigel: A Ms. Miranda to see you, sir.
Lex isn't pleased, glances at the clock.
Lex: All right, Nigel, show her in. 2 minutes only.
Nigel: Very good, sir.
Lex moves to his desk as Nigel shows Miranda a beautiful woman dressed in eclectic, ethnic attire, inside. Would that her, beauty matched her mood.
Miranda: You cut me off, you rotten son of a.
Lex: Temper, temper, Miranda. There's no reason to resort to name calling.
Miranda: You cancelled my funding! How am I supposed to continue my research?
Lex: Miranda. Let's face facts. A year ago you walked into this office & offered me a working, practical application of your theory within six months. You claimed that by adding an animal pheromone to your perfume it would cause the person wearing it to lose all their inhibitions &.
Miranda: But I've done it! I can prove it to you! True, the solid compound
wasn't working but I reduced it to a liquid &.
Lex: Sorry, Miranda. In the final analysis, I don’t fund losers.
Miranda takes another tack. She slowly, sensually approaches him, running her hands along his chest.
Miranda: But what about us?
Lex: There was, no us Miranda. You were a one night stand an itch which’s now been scratched.
Miranda pushes him away, wild with emotions
Miranda: You can't treat me like this. It was a labour of love, for you all for you!
Nigel enters, paying no attention to Miranda's rantings.
Nigel: Excuse me you’ve a telephone call sir.
Lex: Thank you Nigel. I’ll take it in here. I believe Miranda's times up. Will you kindly show her out?
Lex turns his back to her, picks up the phone. Miranda looks down at the table picks up a copy of the Daily Planet. The headline by-line reads Chloe Sullivan.
Lex: Ah hello, yes how are you? I'm looking forward to seeing you.
Nigel takes Miranda by the arm & leads her out. She's still clutching the newspaper as we.
Dark Room Miranda’s Perfume Shop
In the darkened room, Miranda sits at her desk. Daru, her black cat, sits in her lap as Miranda strokes her soft fur. Miranda sighs, utterly disconsolate, then reaches for an ancient-looking letter opener & slices open some of her mail. One particular note strikes her interest. It says: “You are invited to attend the premiere party of our newest fragrance, "Exclusive," at the world famous Daily Planet”. Miranda puts the invitation in her pocket. She picks up Daru, gently & puts her down on the floor. Then, she reaches for a vial of liquid on her desk & a funnel, repeating the words she said to Lex.
Miranda: I can prove it to you.
Newsroom Later On
The newsroom has been transformed into a veritable perfume/fashion show complete with models & a runway. Clark comes, outta the elevator seeing all this. He spies Lois nearby & goes over to here.
Clark: Hey Lois what’s all this?
Lois: Oh the Planets promoting an exclusive new fragrance. All people from different newspapers are here including me thanks to my editor at the Inquisitor. Whaddya doing here Smallville wanting to catch some eye candy or something?
Clark: No I’m here to see Chloe. I wanna talk to her about something.
Lois: Oh okay. Well I’d better get to my position beside the runway then.
She goes over to that as Clark sees Chloe & goes over to here.
Clark: Hey Chloe. I see your very busy today.
Chloe: Oh yeah our gossip columnist managed to get Oliver to stage a fashion show in the newsroom to promote a new fragrance.
Clark: Yeah I know Lois was telling me about it.
Chloe: I’ve not sampled it yet but they reckon it’s very good.
Clark: Well any publicity’s good publicity isn’t it?
Chloe: Yeah I suppose. So what do I owe the pleasure of seeing Clark Kent then?
Clark: Well I wanted to talk to about.
Noticing out the corner of his eye he sees Linda walking outta the Research Room.
Clark: (Thinking To Himself) Kara?
Chloe sees Clark going over to her. She gets up & follows him.
Clark: Linda?
Turning round she sees him.
Linda: Hey Clark.
Clark: Whaddya doing here?
Chloe: She has a job here doing research.
Clark: Research? But I thought you said Smallville & Metropolis weren’t big enough for the 2 of us.
Kara / Linda starts, walking into the empty research room. The others follow.
Research Room
Kara: Yeah well ever since we defeated that Phantom Clark I’ve been having trouble finding the others. By the time I get to their craters there gone or some government officials examining them which’s why I got a job here so that I can know about something if anything unusual happens.
Clark: & how did you get the job?
Chloe: I got it for her by been very pervasive towards Mr. White.
Clark: So where you staying then?
Kara / Linda tries, hiding the truth from him.
Kara: I’m staying at an apartment Clark.
Clark: Okay I can visit you then. Where is it?
Kara: Oh no I’ve just got the place I’m guttering, it out.
Clark: Well maybe I can help then.
Kara: No please I can do it myself Cuz.
Clark: Okay if you want but the offers there.
Kara: Yeah thanks Clark.
She walks outta the room.
Newsroom
The show gets underway as the models move in & out of the crowd they spray everyone with the new fragrance. Photographers are everywhere, snapping pictures. Lois, & Jimmy look on at them one disgusted with the view the other not.
Lois: (Disgusted) The beautiful people.
Jimmy: (Awestruck) Yeah.
Seeing him look dreamy Lois smacks him on the head a little.
Jimmy: Oww!
Lois: Jimmy stop looking at them like that you’re with my cousin remember?
Jimmy: Lois I was only just looking you know.
Lois: Yeah right I know the look on a man when he looks at women like that. You know it's such a sad comment on society. Dress a certain way, smell a certain way, & the world will love you.
Clark, Chloe & Linda come up to them as a gorgeous model passes by & gives Clark the eye.
Clark: Yeah. Sad, Lois, very sad.
Linda: I agree with her if a guy or girl only sees what’s on the outside of a person & not what’s on the inside then there not worth it.
Oliver Queen coming up to them speaks out at that.
Oliver: (Smiling) Couldn’t agree more.
Turning round Lois smiles & kisses him.
Lois: Hello handsome.
Oliver: Miss Lane.
Chloe: Uh come on guys we’ve still a newspaper to run.
Lois: Yeah we'll with this going on I’ll never be able to get a story done.
Oliver: So why don't we take the day off? I can think of something we can do.
Lois: Because it's a work day, Ollie.
Oliver: So can’t you play hookey, for once.
Lois: No my editor would kill me. Besides I was student body president in my high school before I went Smallville High & also at Met U. I had to set an example. Anyway, what's so great about playing hookey?
Linda: Being someplace, doing something you're not supposed to be doing. It's
fun you know.
Lois: I had a lot of fun in high school. Chess club, Math club, Year book editor.
Clark: Wow.
Lois: What’re you saying, Clark? I'm not fun? That I'm not a fun
person?
Clark: No of course you are Lois. I mean who can forget the time you got drunk & supposedly paralysed someone & got kicked outta Met U.
Lois turns to Jimmy.
Jimmy: Hey don’t look at me. I haven’t said a word.
Chloe: Okay I’m just goanna print my Green Arrow heist story & then go to printing & see how it turned out.
Chloe goes over to the elevator & opens it as a Woman, dressed in a "peasant blouse, long skirt, shawl, & wearing a hat that covers her eyes, comes outta it & starts spraying people with her fragrance. She goes over to Lois, Clark, Oliver, Linda, & Jimmy & positions her atomizer in the spray position. It's Miranda.
Miranda: Hi have you tried my new fragrance?
Lois: No, thank you. I don't wear.
Perry steps outta his office.
Perry: Hey where’s Sullivan?
Linda: She just went down to printing to see how her Green Arrow heist story turned out.
Perry: Well tell her to hurry & do that fly fruit story as well. We’ve gotta newspaper to put to bed.
Linda: Yes Mr. White.
Miranda sprays Lois, Clark, Oliver & Jimmy with her perfume.
Lois: Achoo!
Miranda quickly disappears into the crowd.
Lois: Hey don’t you know I’ve got allergies.
The foursome, try to wave the odour off. Miranda sprays Perry with some as well.
Perry: God smells like eau de sweat socks.
Jimmy: What died?
Perry goes back into his office. Lois, Clark, Oliver, Linda & Jimmy still wave the scent away.
Clark: That stuff's probably $300 for a quarter ounce. Highway robbery!
Over in the corner the gossip columnist’s interviewing April.
Cat: So the rumors about you & Kevin...
April: We're just friends, really.
Cat: Uh huh. & that story about you & Mel.
April: No comment.
Miranda continues to circulate, spraying her fragrance at news staffers on her way out of the pit & up into the lobby.
Kent Barn Later On
Clark’s doing his chores when he looks up & sees Lois standing in front of him.
Clark: Hey Lois um whaddya doing here?
He sees the 1st two buttons on her blouse are undone & she’s wearing bright red lipstick. She sexily strolls over to Clark & puts her leg up on one of the wooden stair planks hiking up her skirt in the process.
Lois: Playing hookey.
Clark: But you never play hookey.
Moving closer Lois comes right up to him making Clark feel weird.
Lois: Well a girl can try can’t she?
Clark: Lois, are you feeling okay?
Lois: Never better. I just couldn't help noticing how very handsome you look today.
Clark: Handsome?
Lois: Very.
Clark: Okay I don’t know if this’s a game or something but I don’t think your boyfriend would like this if he saw you.
Lois: My boyfriend?
Clark: Oliver muti-billionaire owns the Daily Planet amongst other things.
Lois: Oh him? I don’t really care about him.
Clark: Of course you do Lois you love him.
Lois: No actually I’m just using him for sex. The person I really wants you.
She kisses Clark passionately on the, lips who has a look on horror on his face.
Research Room
Kara / Linda’s, sifting through paper’s on unexplained events that have happened hoping to find anything on Phantoms. Oliver comes in seeing her. Linda quickly puts the papers under the desk.
Linda: Mr. Queen.
Oliver: Please call me Oliver.
Linda: I was just.
Oliver: Doing your job that’s okay.
He comes over to her.
Oliver: You know even though you’ve only worked here a few weeks you’ve done a very good job from what people have been telling me getting research for them in record time.
Linda: Well I try to be efficient Mr. Queen.
Oliver: Please call me Oliver.
He strokes her right a little.
Oliver: You’re very pretty you know that Linda.
Turning round Linda looks a little shocked at this. She gets up from her sit.
Oliver: I’d have you blonde instead of brunette though but who can complain with that face.
Linda: Mr. Queen I’ve a job to do.
Oliver: Oliver.
Linda: Oliver & we have to be professional in front of each other.
Oliver: Of course.
Looking at her he slowly backs her to the wall behind.
Linda: & your with Lois so.
Oliver: Lois? Oh I’ve quite forgotten about her.
Linda: Really I can’t think that possible.
Oliver: Well things change.
Linda: Not that quickly they don’t. Now I don’t know what’s wrong with you whether you got out the wrong side of bed this morning or something but.
Pinning her against the wall Oliver comes up right close to her.
Oliver: There’s nothing wrong with me.
Linda: Well obviously there is if you’re behaving this way.
Oliver: Well maybe it’s because I don’t really want Lois.
Linda: Oh come on I don’t think you mean that.
Oliver: Maybe it’s because I really want someone else.
He kisses her on the lips which Linda tries to wriggle outta but gets a shock when he feels the familiarity of these & breaks apart from her looking absolutely shocked.
Oliver: (Shocked) Supergirl.
Linda looks at him with shock of her own now he knows who she really is.
Perry’s Office
Perry has his feet up on the desk, listening to the sounds of Elvis' "Burning Love." Just then, Rehalia comes inside to empty the trash. As she bends over to retrieve it, Perry sits up, staring at her ample backside. On Perry, we see a strange lascivious grin on his face.
Newsroom
The runway & for the most part, the beautiful people have gone, the newsroom having settled down to a peaceful buzz. Jimmy watches as Cat finishes up her interview with April. The women stand, & shake hands. While April searches for her compact in her purse. Jimmy stands, pulls up his collar, puts on his photographer's vest, and casually strolls over to April, now powdering her face. Jimmy, a sly, insouciant smile on his lips, leans against a desk, trying his damnedest to be Mr. Cool.
Jimmy: Hey there.
April looks up at him then continues with her powdering.
Jimmy: The name's Olsen. James Olsen. I guess you've heard of me.
April: No, I haven't.
Jimmy: No problem. Most people just know me through my photographs. Bosnia, Bierut? Nam?
Jimmy's gone a little far with "Nam." April isn't buying.
April: Look, James.
Jimmy: You can call me Jimmy. Listen, let's cut to the chase. You like
what you see. I like what I see. Shall we say, cocktails, tomorrow night, your place?
April snaps her powder compact shut, breezes by with a sneer. Jimmy, undaunted, remains in the same position.
Jimmy: Okay. No problem, my place.
He feels someone tap him from behind & sees Chloe having seen all that.
Jimmy: Chloe hey.
Chloe: Hey Jimmy what was that all about?
Jimmy: Nothing that was me talking to April that’s all.
Chloe: (Angry) Oh really it looked more than that to me.
Jimmy: Oh come on it’s not like we were talking about having sex Chloe.
Chloe: (Angry) No but you, were talking about having cocktails.
Jimmy: So a guy can love two women can’t he?
Chloe: (Angry) No Jimmy he can’t.
Jimmy: Well then I’ll just have to choose one of you won’t I & seeing as I want April & not you there’s no reason for us to be together is there.
Chloe: (Angry) You know what there isn’t. See you around Jimmy.
Turning round she storms off.
Printing Room
Cat’s angrily pounding on the machine, which has failed to deliver her needed copies. The door opens & Rick walks in. Cat eyes him up.
Cat: Oh Rick thank god your here.
Rick: Hey what’s the problem Cat?
Cat: This thing ate my original.
Rick: Well I’m not the copy repair guy but I suppose I could take a look for you.
Cat: Thanks.
Rick opens the copy machine, starts fiddling with it. Cat has taken an unusual interest in him, stands & stares with her arms folded across her chest.
Cat: You're pretty deft at this I mean, it looks like you know what you're doing.
Rick: Yeah well my family said I was good with hands as well as reporting.
Cat: Really?
Cat starts moving closer to him.
Newsroom
Clark exits the elevator looking for Chloe as Lois chases after him & pins him up against the candy machine.
Clark: Lois, please. Get a grip.
Lois: Believe me, I'd love to.
Clark: Look you need to stop what you’re doing it’s embarrassing. Where’s Chloe?
Spying her he goes to her. Lois follows happily behind him.
Clark: Chloe hey I need to talk to you.
Lois grabs onto him protectively.
Clark: Hey Lois get your arms of me.
Chloe seeing what’s happening looks shocked.
Chloe: Lois? Clark what’s going on?
Lois: Clark & I are together that’s what.
Clark: No we’re not.
Chloe: Excuse me? When did this happen?
Lois: This morning but we’ve felt something for each other a long time.
Chloe: Really & Oliver?
They see him come out the research room trying to talk to Linda who’s giving him the brush off.
Lois: Oliver’s so last season. See he’s already found someone else. Good for him.
Chloe: (Shocked) Lois.
Lois: Oh come on Chloe he’s not half the man Clark is.
Chloe: Okay what’s happened?
Clark: I don’t know she came onto me after the perfume promotion & now wants to play hookey.
Chloe: Yeah well it seems she’s not the only person doing that. Jimmy came onto that girl April & I periodically dumped him.
Clark: (Shocked) What? How did that happen?
Chloe: I don’t know he just told me he wanted April & talked about having cocktails with her so I dumped him the dirty bastard.
Clark: Okay don’t you think that’s a bit harsh Chloe I mean what if something’s happened to him like it has Lois. I mean look at everyone here.
They see all the news staff been lovey dovey with each other.
Chloe: Yeah well.
Just then Perry's door flings open & Rehalia screaming exits, with Perry calling after her.
Perry: Wait! Mi amor! My peach pie! Te adoro!
Clark manages to slip out of Lois' grasp, walks up to Perry.
Clark: Mr. White what happened is she okay?
Perry: 'Okay' doesn't begin to describe her. I want to shower Rehalia with gifts, build her a golden pedestal, adore, her. She's everything I've dreamed of.
Chloe: What about your wife?
Perry: My wife?
Clark: Yes Alice the woman who has spies everywhere.
Jimmy comes up to them & speaks.
Jimmy: Well there’s plenty of love to go around, isn’t there CK.
He goes of after April.
Perry: Exactly.
He takes off in pursuit of Rehalia. Clark’s very frustrated, doesn't know how to stop the madness.
Clark: Elvis never cheated on Priscilla! Mr. White.
Perry: Well he never met Rehalia did he?
He goes off continuing his pursuit. Clark goes over to Jimmy & pulls him back.
Clark: Oh no you don’t, Jimmy.
He sits him on a sit. Lois’s tugging at Clark's sleeve.
Clark: Lois, just a minute.
Hearing something unusual he races down towards the printing room.
Outside Printing Room
The door’s closed. We can hear the copy machine going at Full Tilt, with tiny wafts of smoke coming from under the door. Clark x-rays through the door, but then, immediately shuts his eyes, amazed as to what he has just seen and what we can only imagine. He turns back & runs upstairs only to bump into Lois.
Lois: Minute's up, Clark. Come to mama.
Miranda surveys her handiwork as love's got a stranglehold on the Daily Planet.
Queen Penthouse
Oliver comes in with Linda from the opened elevator.
Linda: Oliver please your not yourself.
Oliver: Oh but I am Kara.
Linda: My name’s Linda. Wait how do you know my name’s Kara?
Turning Oliver looks at her.
Oliver: Clark told me about you.
Kara: How did Clark tell you about me?
Oliver: Clark got me outta a sticky situation using his powers & I knew they were the same powers you had so I confronted him & he told me about Krypton & what happened & you & Argo City & the fact your parents were called Alura & Zor-El & that when you went back everyone had died from Kryptonite poising. I’m so sorry about that.
Kara: Thank you Oliver but why haven’t you told anyone about me?
Oliver: Because I think your amazing Kara.
Kara: Oliver, please.
Oliver: No it’s true. You give up your life entirely to protect this planet even though it’s not your home. That to me’s the single most amazing thing anyone can do.
Kara: Well having been on earth a lot & seeing everyone & what they do here it’s worth saving. Besides at the moment I’m trying to concentrate on finding all the Phantoms.
Oliver: Which’s why, you got the job at the Planet.
Kara: So I could find things out if anything weird happened yes.
Oliver: But what about the pictures I gave you?
Kara: No-one was there when I got to their locations or government officals were examining the craters. Anyway we here to talk about, you & what’s going on with you. Why’ve you brought me here?
Oliver: Because I want to show you something
Taking her over to the desk behind the clock face Oliver gets the remote control from out the draw & points it at the clock face opening it up revealing all his Green Arrow gear his arrows, costume other instruments etc. Kara looks on shocked.
Kara: (Shocked) Oh my god your Green Arrow.
She steps forward marvelling at what’s ahead.
Kara: Well this’s definitely more than just an archery hobby.
Oliver: This’s my life Kara. Like you I protect earth also with a band of friends which’s why I came to Metropolis to recruit more people.
Kara: How long you being doing this?
Oliver: Since been abandoned on an island years ago. When I came back to Stars City I saw the corruption there & decided to do something about it hence Green Arrow.
Kara: But why’re you showing me all this?
Oliver: So you know the real me Kara & that I’m not just some billionaire playboy.
Kara: You don’t have to do that Oliver just because you like me.
Oliver: But I do Kara. I love you.
Kara: No you don’t. Something’s happened to you obviously the same thing that happened to Lex when he was drugged up on love potion & loved me.
Oliver: Wait you was with Lex?
Kara: Not intentionally. Someone drugged him because they wanted him to love them but he saw me first & loved me instead.
Oliver: But Lex isn’t capable of love.
Kara: Not now he isn’t but then he was.
Oliver: Did you love him?
Kara: I thought I did but then I saw his true nature a year later & that went outta the window.
Oliver: I won’t be like him I promise. What you see’s what you get. I’ll always be faithful & truthful to you Kara.
He kisses her on the lips which Kara pushes him away from.
Kara: Oliver please I know you this isn’t you talking.
Looking up at him she looks mournful at him.
Kara: I can’t do this I’m sorry.
Going by she runs towards the elevator & closes it up.
Oliver: Kara WAIT!
He looks on as the elevator goes down.
Kent Kitchen Later That Evening
Martha comes back from her meeting with Senator Burke seeing Clark looking despondent.
Martha: Hey Clark what’s the matter?
Clark: I’m not sure mom.
Martha: Well why don’t you tell me about it.
Clark: Okay then. Lois is into me.
Martha: Into you how?
Clark: As in she loves me.
Martha: What? Whoa. Isn’t she with Oliver?
Clark: Yes but she doesn’t care about him now.
Martha: Why?
Clark: I don’t know she was coming onto me & everything. I think something’s wrong with her & not just her but other people also.
Martha: Other people?
Clark: At the Daily Planet. I saw a reporter & gossip columnist acting weird & even the editor in chief there who’s married no less & Chloe dumped Jimmy when he said he chatted up another girl.
Martha: God it sounds like loves gone array there.
Clark: Yeah & I don’t know what to do about it.
Newsroom Next Morning
Closing in on today’s headline it reads "Dockworkers Embrace New Profit-Sharing Plan." The photo’s of the union & management reps hugging each other. Something's very different. No grumpy, whiny staffers are these. They're bright-eyed, bushy tailed, in their sharpest duds & ready for love. Jimmy hasn't shaven, going for the "rough" look of a battle weary photojournalist. Perry enters.
Perry: Good morning everyone! & a beautiful morning it is.
Lois enters the newsroom looking for Chloe. Spying here she goes over.
Lois: Hey Chloe have you seen Clark?
Chloe: Nope. Maybe he’s home doing chores.
Lois: I went & he wasn’t there. I tried ringing him last night but his phone was off the hook.
Chloe: Well with good reason Lois something’s obviously going on here.
Lois: Nothing’s going on except me & Clark if he’d pick up the phone that is.
Coming out the elevator Linda walking over to her desk sees a bunch of flowers on them. Looking at the note inside them she sees there an apology from Oliver.
Oliver: (Smiling) Hope you like them.
Turning round she sees him.
Linda: Oliver.
Oliver: I’m sorry about yesterday Linda. I didn’t mean to.
Linda: It’s okay.
Oliver: Don’t worry about us it’s our secret. Whaddya say dinner tonight?

Standing behind her Chloe, talks.
Chloe: You’ve got it to huh?
Linda: Excuse me?
Chloe: You & Oliver.
Linda: I didn’t do anything Chloe I swear. I wouldn’t do that to Lois.
Chloe: Yeah I know Oliver’s not acting like himself just like everyone else here isn’t.
Lois: Hey don’t sweat about Oliver Linda I’m great for you 2.
Linda looks at Lois quizitively.
Chloe: Lois isn’t herself.
Lois: Of course I am Cuz. I’ve got my dream man.
Linda: Really?
Lois: Mmm. Clark who’d have sunk yet huh.
Linda: (Shocked) Clark?
Chloe: Oh yeah & Jimmy’s with April & I dumped him without realising something was going on though.
Lois: Have you seen Clark Linda?
Linda: No but I’m sure if you wait other there he may come in.
Lois: Okay then.
She walks off to a corner part of the room.
Chloe: So how much does Oliver love, you then?
Linda: Enough to know who I really am.
Chloe: (Shocked) What Oliver knows your (Whispering) Supergirl?
Linda: Yep. But he doesn’t mind that because he thinks it’s amazing.
Chloe: Oh god.
Perry comes outta his office.
Perry: Hey where's Rick & Cat?
Jimmy coming over to him talks.
Jimmy: There both here in the printing room.
Chloe: Still?
Jimmy: Yeah. Cat even asked me if there were any reports I needed copied.
Coming out the elevator Clark goes over to Chloe & Linda.
Clark: Oh thank god your both here I can’t stand another minute with.
Grabbing him the two girls & he go into the research room.
Research Room
Clark: Hey what was that for?
Chloe: Lois knows you’re here.
Clark: What? That woman’s on a one man mission. Where is she?
Linda: In the corner of the newsroom.
Chloe: It is funny though you & she.
Clark: No it isn’t Chloe.
Linda: Hey you’re not the only with people problems I’ve got Oliver chasing me.
Clark looks on shocked hearing this.
Clark: (Shocked) Oliver?
Linda: Yep & more seriously he knows who I really am?
Clark: What how?
Linda: He kissed me here which gave it away but I don’t think he’ll say anything.
Clark: How do you know?
Linda: Because he loves me he says.
Clark: Oh crap.
Linda: & we’re going out to dinner tonight at 7’oclock.
Clark: Can’t you get outta it?
Linda: & leave him more like he is no I can’t do that until we figure out what’s going on here.
Chloe: Come on let’s go.
Clark: What about Lois?
Linda: We’ll try get, you outta here before she sees you.
The trio open the door & walk out hearing Perry giving out the morning’s orders.
Perry: Okay, our lead story for the next edition is obvious.
A newsroom reporter answers.
Newsroom Reporter: Russia? The counter-revolution?
Perry: Revolution! Who cares? That's not what the people want to read. Now this’s a story. A man & woman meet on a train, fall in love, but then, somehow, they lose each other. Thirty years later, on that same train, they see one another from across the room...
He holds a hankerchief to his eyes.
Perry: It just breaks me up.
Lois is suddenly teary-eyed as well. She & Perry hug then several other staffers join them in a mass hug-in. Jimmy wiping away a tear, heads for the door.
Jimmy: Chief, I can't stay for the meeting. I’ve something much more important to do.
Perry: Go ahead, son.
Jimmy dashes out of the conference room. Perry smiles after him.
Perry: Love that kid.
Seeing this Clark looks at Chloe.
Clark: Aren’t you goanna go after him?
Chloe: No point he’s too loved up.
Seeing him over from the corner Lois comes up to Clark.
Lois: Oh Clark.
Clark: Oh no.
He tries to run away from her but doesn’t succeed when she pins him against the wall.
Lois: There you are.
Chloe & Linda look on wondering what to do.
Lex’s Study
Lex’s sitting at his desk, buried in paperwork, when the door opens & his fencing partner, in full regalia, enters. Lex looks up.
Lex: Oh, Emil. I didn't see you on my schedule if you'll wait a few moments, I'll.
But the masked fencer will not wait, walks up to Lex's desk & points the blade at his chest. Lex drops his pen, stares up at his attacker.
Lex: If you’re upset about our last session, then please let me make it up to you.
The fencer thrusts the blade a tiny bit. A tiny trickle of blood seeps through his shirt. Lex’s eyes grow wide with fear as the fencer now removes the mask. It's Miranda.
Lex: Miranda. What a pleasant surprise. What can I do for you?
Miranda: You wouldn't return my calls, so I decided to get your attention in my own way.
Lex: Well you've got it.
Miranda: Call your man. Tell him to have the car brought around.
Lex: Are we going somewhere?
Miranda: You are to the Daily Planet in Metropolis. I think you'll find it interesting.
Miranda removes the blade from Lex's chest, tosses a copy of the Daily Planet newspaper in front of him, turns & walks out. Lex picks up the newspaper. The "o's" in the Daily Planet ' headline, are in the shape of hearts. The headline reads: Couple Reunited! Love wins out! Lex sits for a moment then, presses his intercom.
Lex: Nigel. Have the car brought around.
Newsroom
Jimmy sits, staring at the monitor of a computer. He's going through addresses, & cross-referencing them. Finally he sees the name April Stephens. The address: 55 West Elm 11. Jimmy sits back, exhausted, but utterly happy.
Jimmy: Eureka.
Perry’s Office
Rehalia, hand on hip, stands in front of Perry's desk. She speaks in a lusty latino accent.
Rehalia: My husband says I should file a harassment suit against you.
Perry: If that's what you want, then go ahead. But nothing can keep me from proclaiming my love. I won't force anything. I'm content to adore you from afar. Listen. I've composed a little something.
He pulls a piece of paper outta his pocket.
Perry: I call 'it 'Rehalia.' (Singing) I plucked a rose. I smelled its dew. That fragrant scent embodies you. Rehalia, Rehalia.
Rehalia takes this in for a moment, then snidely responds.
Rehalia: 'I smelled its dew?' Dew doesn't smell.
Chloe’s Desk
Chloe, Clark, Lois & Linda are there talking. Clark’s trying to keep Lois off him.
Chloe: Okay we need to figure what’s going on here before it gets any worse.
Lois’s kissing Clark on the neck which annoys him.
Clark: Lois please we’re trying to concentrate here.
Linda: Okay Lois you need to stay there & keep your lips of, of Clark can you do that for me?
Giving in finally Lois speaks.
Lois: Okay.
Linda: Good. At least, Oliver’s not as bad kissing wise.
Chloe: Right well whatever happened started yesterday afternoon.
Clark: & it only affected everyone in the newsroom then & not the people outside otherwise we’d know about it meaning something happened here to do that. Maybe something we ate or drank?
Chloe: I don’t know my lunch wasn’t off.
Linda: Neither was mine.
Clark: Then it was something else.
Chloe: Other than the models being here to promote that new perfume there wasn’t much else going on.
Realising something Linda’s ears prick up.
Linda: The perfume.
Just then, Jimmy walks by, carrying a stack of black & white photos. Chloe stops him.
Chloe: Jimmy, what're those?
Jimmy: Photos from yesterday's show.
Jimmy shows Clark a picture of April.
Jimmy: (Smiling) Beautiful, isn't she? & she's all mine.
Chloe: (Smiling) Yes she is. Pity this isn’t real & you’re goanna feel a right fool when this’s all over.
Jimmy: Who says I’m goanna feel a fool?
Chloe: You’ll understand.
Jimmy walks off, leaving the gang except Lois staring at him, shaking their heads. Linda takes the photos spreads them out on a nearby table.
Clark: Okay what’re we looking for then?
Linda: I don't know. But remember when there.
She points to a picture of herself, Lois, Jimmy, Clark & Perry being sprayed by Miranda. Linda studies her face, as much as she can underneath the hat then uses telescopic vision to zero in on the perfume atomizer. The atomizer reads:
Leaded glass, hand-blown shape, antique very rare.
Linda: Got it.
Chloe: Got what?
Lex steps off the elevator, & looks around amazed at the transformation. He walks downstairs & sees Perry pass by, on his way out.
Lex: Good morning, Mr. White.
Perry: Mr. Luthor oh love waits for no man gotta run.
Lex: Yes I see.
Lex sees Oliver handing out heart shaped balloons to people. He goes over to him.
Lex: Oliver hey what’s going on here?
Oliver: Love is in the air Lex. You should try it sometime.
He hands him a balloon then blows a kiss to Linda which Lex sees then walks off.
Lex: Kara & Oliver. Who’d have thought?
Noticing the trio at Chloe’s desk he sees how close Lois & Clark are & goes to walk over there to them.
The gang stand up & walk away from Chloe’s desk.
Chloe: Okay where we going exactly?
They pass by Lex & walk up to the elevator not noticing him. He looks around one more time at the people acting all lovey dovey then walks off.
Outside Daily Planet
Lex exits the Daily Planet. Nigel opens the door to his limo.
Lex: Nigel, call Miranda. Ask her to come to my study tomorrow at 5:00.
Nigel: Very good, sir. (Beat) You'll forgive me for asking, sir, but I thought you’d cancelled on her.
Lex: Well, I've had a change of heart. It seems I was wrong about her. Apparently, she has developed a formula that renders people incapable of resisting their animal urges.
Nigel: & that would be of some service to you?
Lex: Oh, yes indeed. You see, I've always thought of myself an opportunist, & what we’ve here’s an opportunity. If you control men's hearts, their minds will follow. For example, a politician, owned by me’s losing in the polls a dashing fellow but the kind that women love only from afar. The night before elections, a little whiff through the auditorium, the theatre the result a landslide. Or, I wish to buy a successful company like Queen Industries for e.g. at a bargain price. A spray here, a dab there how could they deny me?
Nigel: Very ingenious.
Lex: Thank you, Nigel. That's what as they say I get the big bucks for.
Nondescript Apartment Hallway Nightime
Perry stops in front of an apartment doorway sets down his portable radio. He wears black leather pants, black leather jacket. He positions himself, Elvis Style then turns on the radio. To the strains of "Burning Love," he starts singing.
Perry: "I'm just a hunka hunka burning love..."
It's not long before other apartment doors start opening & slamming. Finally, the door he wants to open opens, but standing in front of Rehalia is her 6'3" husband whose immense fist fills the screen en route to Perry's nose.
Kara’s Desk
Oliver & Kara who’s blonde now are having Chinese takeaway as Kara’s drawing Miranda’s picture on a piece of paper.
Oliver: Okay when I said we’d have dinner I didn’t imagine been in the newsroom eating Chinese take out.
Half noticing him but still continuing drawing the picture Kara speaks.
Kara: Well I need to figure out what’s going on & here’s the best place to be.
Oliver: Yeah but I wanted to get all dressed up & take you to a fancy restaurant & everything.
Kara: A guy doesn’t need to take me out to fancy restaurant Oliver for me to like them. Besides I don’t have a good dress for that.
Oliver: So I’d have brought you one.
Kara: & I wouldn’t have accepted it because A: I’m not Lois & B: You’re not yourself.
Oliver: Well if I’m not myself then why’re you here & blonde then?
Kara: To keep an eye on you & make sure you don’t do anything stupid until me, Chloe & Clark figure this out. & you know me now so I don’t need to be Linda in private to you.
Oliver looks at the picture she’s drawing.
Oliver: So who’s that you’re drawing then?
Kara: The woman here yesterday who sprayed her perfume at everyone.
Oliver: Why you think she has something to do with the way everyone’s acting?
Kara: Definitely but me, Chloe & Clark can’t do anything until I’ve I.D her.
She puts the picture in the printer & scans it on the computer. Oliver drinks a bit more champagne.
Oliver: So how comes you & Clark weren’t affected by the perfume?
Kara: Probably because we’re not attracted to you & Lois that or the perfume only affects humans.
Seeing the picture onscreen she goes into the face recognition software & types in information on it. The computer starts retrieving that which takes a few minutes. Leaning forward Oliver nibbles Kara on the neck which she doesn’t like.
Oliver: Mmm you’re so sexy blonde.
Kara: Oliver no.
Oliver: What I wasn’t kissing you.
Kara: That’s not the point. Firstly you’re with Lois & secondly I can’t concentrate if you do that.
Oliver: Why don’t you like me then?
Kara: Yes you’re my friend but that’s it.
Oliver: I don’t believe you.
Kara: Well believe it pal.
Oliver: Okay then, look me in the eye & tell me you don’t like me.
She does that.
Kara: I don’t like you.
Seeing through her Oliver speaks.
Oliver: You’re lying.
Kara: How do you know?
Oliver: Because I’m very good at sizing women up.
Kara: Alright yes Oliver I do like you but you’re with Lois now & I’d never do anything to jeopardise that.
Oliver: A woman hiding behind her pride I love that.
Hearing this Kara lowers her head.
Kara: Oh no.
Ace Of Clubs
Jimmy, driving a shiny, newly-rented Corvette, stops in front of the club, hops out. He wears a "Miami Vice" suit, loafers with no socks. He walks casually past the gargantuan bouncer/doorman, Hans, who stops him.
Hans: Members only.
Jimmy: No problem.
He reaches in his pocket, takes out a five, slips, it to Hans. Hans looks at the bill puts it in his mouth & chews. Just then, April & several of her VIP friends exit the club. Jimmy slips in front of April, still playing Mr. Debonaire.
Jimmy: April I didn't know you were a member here.
April: Are you?
Jimmy: Me? No way. I hate these kinder places. I prefer to spend my nights by a roaring fire a glass of wine a beautiful woman.
He pauses for a bit.
Jimmy: Let's stop playing games, April.
April: Yes lets how about you go home to your girlfriend.
Jimmy: Excuse me?
April: Cute short haired little blonde reporter.
Jimmy: Chloe? She means nothing to me.
April: Well she should. I’m surprised she’s not here stopping you do this.
Jimmy: No she had something to do. Come on hop in my car & I’ll show you what you’ve been missing.
April stares at him, then.
April: Hans!
Hans approaches Jimmy, who puts his hands up.
Jimmy: Okay, big boy. I get the picture.
April turns & walks down the street with her friends. Jimmy stares after her.
Metropolis Street
Jimmy, devastated, walks past his sports car and starts to cross the street without looking. Suddenly he looks up, sees a truck heading right for him, horn blaring.
Kara’s Desk
The info on the pictures coming as Kara hears something going with her super hearing.
Oliver: Kara what is it?
Realising what she flies, out the opened window quickly to the location of the sound.
Metropolis Street
The truck’s inches away. Supergirl swoops in just in time & scoops Jimmy up in her arms & flies away with him.
Metropolis Sky
Snapping out of it momentarily looks on shocked at, who it is.
Jimmy: Supergirl.
Supergirl: Are you alright Jimmy?
Jimmy: Yeah I think so. How do you know my name?
Supergirl: I’m a friend of Clark’s.
Jimmy: What happened?
Supergirl: I’m not sure but I’d better take you home.
She flies off, carrying Jimmy as we.
Kent Lounge
Clark’s watching a movie as he hears the doorbell ring. Getting up he goes over to the door & flings it open to find Lois standing in the doorway, wearing a trench coat.
Clark: Lois.
He looks at his watch
Clark: It's very late.
Lois: Not too late, for us I hope for happiness.
Lois unties the trench coat. She's wearing a harem outfit.
Clark: Oh, no. Lois, please don't.
Lois walks inside kicks the door closed behind her. She steps in front of Clark, puts her arms around him.
Lois: (Deadly Serious) I love you, Clark Kent. I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.
Clark: Lois, please go home. You’ll wake mom up.
Coming closer Lois looks at him.
Lois: No I won’t. You're here. This’s my home.
Clark: You know I’m really getting tired of this.
Lois, undaunted, won't let go. She stares deeply into his eyes.
Lois: Yeah well I’m not.
Putting her hands on Clark’s face she kisses him passionately there. Clark pulls her of him.
Clark: Lois no.
Backing of she puts a White Snake CD she has in the CD player & starts doing the dance of the 7 veils to it.
Queen Penthouse Next Morning
Oliver comes down the spiralling staircase from his bedroom wearing a white shirt & blue boxers. He spies Kara in front of him holding a piece of paper.
Kara: Morning Oliver how’re you feeling?
He holds his forehead at that answer.
Oliver: Pretty ridiculous. & my head hurts.
Kara: Thought it would if you take these.
She holds out 2 ibuprofen tablets.
Kara: Hopefully they’ll help.
Oliver takes them from her.
Oliver: Thanks.
He goes over to the sink & pulls out a glass of water then gulps down the tablets with water.
Oliver: You know I actually remember what happened, which makes it worse. Thank god it didn’t go any further.
Kara: Yeah but that was the perfume talking not you. It wasn’t your fault.
Oliver: No but what I said came from somewhere & that doesn’t excuse what I’ve done to Lois.
Kara: & Lois was in the same boat as you & everyone else in the newsroom were. You’ll both forgive each other as Chloe will Jimmy. Besides what I said didn’t help much which I shouldn’t have done.
Oliver: You were just been honest I appreciate that if things were different & I weren’t with Lois who knows.
Kara: Yeah well it’s over now so let’s just chalk it down to a moment of madness.
Oliver: Okay.
Kara: Good. At least we know the effects last for 2 days.
Oliver: Yep.
Kara: So what we need to do’s find Miranda & figure out how she did what she did & why she did it.
Oliver: Can you do that?
Kara: Mmm. I managed to find her website which listed her shops address. I called Clark & told him I’m goanna meet Chloe at the shop.
Oliver: Right. I’d better go upstairs & wash & dress then try & find Lois & explain everything to her.
Kara: Okay I’ll see you later at the Planet.
Oliver: Yeah see you later.
Turning round, Oliver walks upstairs.
Kent Kitchen
Martha & Clark are sitting there drinking coffee.
Clark’s Room
Lois stirs, awakens, sits up, puts her hand over her forehead feels like she has a hangover. She gets outta bed, unaware that she still has on her harem outfit, then slowly lifts her head, looks around as if to say where the hell she is. Getting up she looks in the mirror seeing herself & goes into full shock mood.
Kent Kent
Clark hearing Lois come downstairs prepares himself for the worse. Martha looks at him sympathetically. He turns round.
Clark: Lois.
She tries saying something but is too embarrassed for words.
Lois: Martha. Clark.
Martha: How you feeling?
Lois: Not sure really. Embarrassed comes to mind.
Martha: There’s coffee if you want.
Lois: Thanks.
She pours out a cup.
Clark: No milk?
Lois: I think after whatever I did last night I need it strong.
Clark: You don’t remember?
Lois: Well I obviously did something dressed like this. Come on tell me I can take it.
Clark does so. Lois hangs her head in shame.
Lois: Oh god.
Martha: Lois it wasn’t your fault.
Lois: Yeah but that still doesn’t excuse what I did especially to Oliver.
Clark: Well he was in the same boat as everyone else in the newsroom was so I think he’d understand.
Lois: Yeah but what if something happened between him & Linda?
Martha: I don’t think that happened, Lois. Linda wouldn’t let it.
Lois: Still doesn’t say how I’m goanna explain this all to Oliver. So what’re we doing about this then?
Clark: Well Linda rang & said she’d got the address of Miranda’s shop & that she & Chloe were going there to investigate it.
Lois: Okay I’ll go home wash & change then go to the Inquisitor & explain everything to my editor then hop down to the Planet & apologise to Oliver.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Smallville characters or Kara Zor-El as they all belong to WB Productions & DC Comics.
Author’s Note: This stories set after season 6 episode Arrow & is a take on the season one Lois & Clark episode “Pheromone My Lovely” except I’ve adapted it to Smallville season 6 which’ll have the same outcome as what happened on Lois & Clark but be a little different in that Kara/Supergirl’s in here as is Oliver/Green Arrow who falls for her after been hit by Miranda’s perfume & shows her his secret. Lois falls for Clark like she did on the other show & Jimmy has to explain to Chloe what he’s doing with a ginger haired woman after she spies them together.
Extra Note: Kara/Supergirl’s been staying in an abandoned warehouse
since she left Clark as in not having any I.D. can’t get an apartment. Oliver knows who Supergirl really is after he saw Clark use same powers as her & he told him about her. Lana Lang & Lionel Luthor are not in this episode.
Metropolis Bank Few Weeks Later
3 guys here all wearing balaclava masks are commandeering bags of money outta the front door of the bank. The one standing by the Ford Transit Van yells out.
Masked Guy 1: Hey hurry it up in there.
The 2nd guy throws a bag of money to the 3rd guy.
Masked Guy 2: I’m going as fast as I can.
Then goes into the bank to get the others whilst the 3rd guy throws the one he was just given. They repeat this a few times till the vans loaded up.
Masked Guy 1: Alright let’s get outta here then.
They close the back door & get ready to go inside but are stopped by a mysterious figure dressed up in green with arrows behind their back who calls out to them.
Green Arrow: I don’t think so.
Pulling an arrow out from the back of his holster he places it in between his bow & aims it at one of the masked guys.
Masked Guy 3: Whoa! It’s the Green Arrow.
Masked Guy 2: Run.
The guys turn round to do that but one of them’s hit with a knock out gas arrow making them slump to the floor. The 2nd guy pulls out his gun & aims it at Green Arrow who learning from last time ducks out the way so the bullets don’t hit him. Coming up to him masked guy 1 fights with him hand to hand. Getting the upper hand Green Arrow whacks him hard in the face knocking him out. The 3rd guy scared runs for it but doesn’t get far when he receives an electric tsared arrow in the back shocking him into unconsciousness as well. Walking over & opening up the Ford Transit’s back door the Green Arrow pulls his hood down & takes off his orange sunglasses revealing Oliver Queen smiling down on his handiwork.

Chloe: Hey Linda thanks for getting me those details about that Green Arrow heist last night.
Linda: No problems Chloe. Glad I could help.
She goes to walk over to a table but accidently bumps into a mysterious stranger & lets all the papers fall to the floor.
Linda: Oh god I’m so sorry I should’ve watched where I was going.
Looking up she sees Oliver. Linda tries not to blush making it out she already knows him with her face. Oliver looking at, her smiles.
Oliver: (Smiling) No please you don’t have to apologise the faults mine not yours.
He helps her pick up her papers.
Linda: (Smiling) Well I should take that as a compliment then.
Oliver: (Smiling) Please do miss?
Chloe: Lee. Linda Lee. She’s one of our new researchers.
Oliver: (Smiling) Really well welcome to the Planet Miss Lee.
Linda: Thank you Mr. Queen.
Oliver: Please call me Oliver I insist all my employees do that.
Linda: Okay then Oliver.
Going past him she walks away. Oliver turns round looking upon her.
Oliver: Whoa who’s that then Chloe?
Chloe: Oh she’s Clark’s cousin from Minnesota.
Turning round he looks at Chloe surprised.
Oliver: (Surprised) Clark has a cousin? (Thinking to Himself) Does Clark have another kryptonian cousin?
Chloe: Yeah she just got outta, college. She’s visited a few times in the past.
Oliver: Oh right.
Chloe: She’s nice wasn’t she?
Oliver: Yeah she was but I’d loose the brunette though.
Chloe tries to hide her guilt knowing who she really is.
Chloe: Really?
Oliver: Yeah she’d look better blonde.
Chloe: Well I’ll have to tell her that then Oliver.
Oliver: Please do.
He walks off as Perry comes out handing orders.
Perry: Okay people Rick dockworker strike.
He hands the reporter his assignment.
Perry: Sullivan just finishing the Green Arrow Heist?
Chloe: Yes chief.
Jimmy walks by coming up from the photocopy room.
Jimmy: Hey see those two guys?
He points to 2 people one man in a suit, the other in rough workmen's clothes are in each other's faces. Perry noticing this goes over & breaks them up.
Perry: Hey not in my newsroom.
Rick: Hey chief I don’t know if I should do this one man I mean negotiations have broken down again.
Perry: Well then interview the union & management rep separately. Okay Sullivan again about that other article you wrote on the fruit fly infestation could you maybe, if it isn't too much trouble, give it another go? & this time, put some zing into it!
Chloe: Happy to, Chief. It's such an.
She purposely yawns.
Chloe: Exhilarating subject matter.
Jimmy: Here's what I don't understand if this malathion spray is so safe, how come they tell you to put your pets inside when they're using it?
Perry: Precautionary measure.
Just then the door to the conference room opens Rehalia The fifty-ish Ecuadorian janitoress enters to empty the trash bins. She hesitates for a moment, but Perry waves her inside.
Perry: That's okay, Rehalia, come on in. I suppose we should lead with the latest counter-revolution in Russia.
Linda standing, over by a desk talks.
Linda: I believe its counter, counter-revolution, Mr. White.
Perry: Well how am I supposed to know that & keep track of it? What the Sam Hill's going on today?
A gossip column reporter Cat Grant speaks out at that.
Cat: Chief, you remember. Today's the day they're using the newsroom as a backdrop to introduce that new fragrance... 'Exclusive.' Marketing set it up.
Perry: Marketing no, I don't remember.
Cat: Yeah it’s been on for months (Beat) Look there’s Elle Taylor & Rachel Robert & Stephens! I have to get interview.
Perry nods for her to do that. Chloe flops, her head down on her desk.
Jimmy: Hey Chlo what’s up?
Chloe: I can’t think of a last line to write about my Green Arrow story.
Jimmy: I’m sure you’ll come up with something.
Linda: Remember Mr. White we’ve got the other press from The Metropolis Star & Inquisitor coming over for the launch also.
Perry: Oh great it’s goanna have a field day here.
Rick's staring at the girls as they file in.
Rick: Hey wonder if I could get one of those chief.
He points but Perry turns away.
Perry: I can't look, Rick. Alice would have my hide.
Looking a little quizzical Linda speaks to Chloe & Jimmy.
Linda: Alice?
Jimmy: The chief’s wife.
Linda: Oh.
Turning to Perry she talks to him.
Linda: I’m sorry Mr. White but um how would she find out?
Perry: The woman has spies everywhere.
Lex’s Study
Two Fencers, in masks & full gear, duel the length of the room, knocking over furniture, smashing a vase, etc one leaps up on the desk to escape certain death, then leaps off again to thrust, finds an opening in his attacker's side. A tiny spot of blood seeps through the material. The fencers remove their masks. The victor
Lex Luthor bows to his Fencing Partner, who returns the bow, then exits the room, holding his side. A Luthor Corp employee called Nigel enters the room.
Nigel: A Ms. Miranda to see you, sir.
Lex isn't pleased, glances at the clock.
Lex: All right, Nigel, show her in. 2 minutes only.
Nigel: Very good, sir.
Lex moves to his desk as Nigel shows Miranda a beautiful woman dressed in eclectic, ethnic attire, inside. Would that her, beauty matched her mood.
Miranda: You cut me off, you rotten son of a.
Lex: Temper, temper, Miranda. There's no reason to resort to name calling.
Miranda: You cancelled my funding! How am I supposed to continue my research?
Lex: Miranda. Let's face facts. A year ago you walked into this office & offered me a working, practical application of your theory within six months. You claimed that by adding an animal pheromone to your perfume it would cause the person wearing it to lose all their inhibitions &.
Miranda: But I've done it! I can prove it to you! True, the solid compound
wasn't working but I reduced it to a liquid &.
Lex: Sorry, Miranda. In the final analysis, I don’t fund losers.
Miranda takes another tack. She slowly, sensually approaches him, running her hands along his chest.
Miranda: But what about us?
Lex: There was, no us Miranda. You were a one night stand an itch which’s now been scratched.
Miranda pushes him away, wild with emotions
Miranda: You can't treat me like this. It was a labour of love, for you all for you!
Nigel enters, paying no attention to Miranda's rantings.
Nigel: Excuse me you’ve a telephone call sir.
Lex: Thank you Nigel. I’ll take it in here. I believe Miranda's times up. Will you kindly show her out?
Lex turns his back to her, picks up the phone. Miranda looks down at the table picks up a copy of the Daily Planet. The headline by-line reads Chloe Sullivan.
Lex: Ah hello, yes how are you? I'm looking forward to seeing you.
Nigel takes Miranda by the arm & leads her out. She's still clutching the newspaper as we.
Dark Room Miranda’s Perfume Shop
In the darkened room, Miranda sits at her desk. Daru, her black cat, sits in her lap as Miranda strokes her soft fur. Miranda sighs, utterly disconsolate, then reaches for an ancient-looking letter opener & slices open some of her mail. One particular note strikes her interest. It says: “You are invited to attend the premiere party of our newest fragrance, "Exclusive," at the world famous Daily Planet”. Miranda puts the invitation in her pocket. She picks up Daru, gently & puts her down on the floor. Then, she reaches for a vial of liquid on her desk & a funnel, repeating the words she said to Lex.
Miranda: I can prove it to you.
Newsroom Later On
The newsroom has been transformed into a veritable perfume/fashion show complete with models & a runway. Clark comes, outta the elevator seeing all this. He spies Lois nearby & goes over to here.
Clark: Hey Lois what’s all this?
Lois: Oh the Planets promoting an exclusive new fragrance. All people from different newspapers are here including me thanks to my editor at the Inquisitor. Whaddya doing here Smallville wanting to catch some eye candy or something?
Clark: No I’m here to see Chloe. I wanna talk to her about something.
Lois: Oh okay. Well I’d better get to my position beside the runway then.
She goes over to that as Clark sees Chloe & goes over to here.
Clark: Hey Chloe. I see your very busy today.
Chloe: Oh yeah our gossip columnist managed to get Oliver to stage a fashion show in the newsroom to promote a new fragrance.
Clark: Yeah I know Lois was telling me about it.
Chloe: I’ve not sampled it yet but they reckon it’s very good.
Clark: Well any publicity’s good publicity isn’t it?
Chloe: Yeah I suppose. So what do I owe the pleasure of seeing Clark Kent then?
Clark: Well I wanted to talk to about.
Noticing out the corner of his eye he sees Linda walking outta the Research Room.
Clark: (Thinking To Himself) Kara?
Chloe sees Clark going over to her. She gets up & follows him.
Clark: Linda?
Turning round she sees him.
Linda: Hey Clark.
Clark: Whaddya doing here?
Chloe: She has a job here doing research.
Clark: Research? But I thought you said Smallville & Metropolis weren’t big enough for the 2 of us.
Kara / Linda starts, walking into the empty research room. The others follow.
Research Room
Kara: Yeah well ever since we defeated that Phantom Clark I’ve been having trouble finding the others. By the time I get to their craters there gone or some government officials examining them which’s why I got a job here so that I can know about something if anything unusual happens.
Clark: & how did you get the job?
Chloe: I got it for her by been very pervasive towards Mr. White.

Clark: Well maybe I can help then.

Kara: Yeah thanks Clark.
She walks outta the room.
Newsroom
The show gets underway as the models move in & out of the crowd they spray everyone with the new fragrance. Photographers are everywhere, snapping pictures. Lois, & Jimmy look on at them one disgusted with the view the other not.
Lois: (Disgusted) The beautiful people.
Jimmy: (Awestruck) Yeah.
Seeing him look dreamy Lois smacks him on the head a little.
Jimmy: Oww!
Lois: Jimmy stop looking at them like that you’re with my cousin remember?
Jimmy: Lois I was only just looking you know.
Lois: Yeah right I know the look on a man when he looks at women like that. You know it's such a sad comment on society. Dress a certain way, smell a certain way, & the world will love you.
Clark, Chloe & Linda come up to them as a gorgeous model passes by & gives Clark the eye.
Clark: Yeah. Sad, Lois, very sad.
Linda: I agree with her if a guy or girl only sees what’s on the outside of a person & not what’s on the inside then there not worth it.
Oliver Queen coming up to them speaks out at that.
Oliver: (Smiling) Couldn’t agree more.
Turning round Lois smiles & kisses him.
Lois: Hello handsome.
Oliver: Miss Lane.
Chloe: Uh come on guys we’ve still a newspaper to run.
Lois: Yeah we'll with this going on I’ll never be able to get a story done.
Oliver: So why don't we take the day off? I can think of something we can do.
Lois: Because it's a work day, Ollie.
Oliver: So can’t you play hookey, for once.
Lois: No my editor would kill me. Besides I was student body president in my high school before I went Smallville High & also at Met U. I had to set an example. Anyway, what's so great about playing hookey?
Linda: Being someplace, doing something you're not supposed to be doing. It's
fun you know.
Lois: I had a lot of fun in high school. Chess club, Math club, Year book editor.
Clark: Wow.
Lois: What’re you saying, Clark? I'm not fun? That I'm not a fun
person?
Clark: No of course you are Lois. I mean who can forget the time you got drunk & supposedly paralysed someone & got kicked outta Met U.
Lois turns to Jimmy.
Jimmy: Hey don’t look at me. I haven’t said a word.
Chloe: Okay I’m just goanna print my Green Arrow heist story & then go to printing & see how it turned out.
Chloe goes over to the elevator & opens it as a Woman, dressed in a "peasant blouse, long skirt, shawl, & wearing a hat that covers her eyes, comes outta it & starts spraying people with her fragrance. She goes over to Lois, Clark, Oliver, Linda, & Jimmy & positions her atomizer in the spray position. It's Miranda.
Miranda: Hi have you tried my new fragrance?
Lois: No, thank you. I don't wear.
Perry steps outta his office.
Perry: Hey where’s Sullivan?
Linda: She just went down to printing to see how her Green Arrow heist story turned out.
Perry: Well tell her to hurry & do that fly fruit story as well. We’ve gotta newspaper to put to bed.
Linda: Yes Mr. White.
Miranda sprays Lois, Clark, Oliver & Jimmy with her perfume.
Lois: Achoo!
Miranda quickly disappears into the crowd.
Lois: Hey don’t you know I’ve got allergies.
The foursome, try to wave the odour off. Miranda sprays Perry with some as well.
Perry: God smells like eau de sweat socks.
Jimmy: What died?
Perry goes back into his office. Lois, Clark, Oliver, Linda & Jimmy still wave the scent away.
Clark: That stuff's probably $300 for a quarter ounce. Highway robbery!
Over in the corner the gossip columnist’s interviewing April.
Cat: So the rumors about you & Kevin...
April: We're just friends, really.
Cat: Uh huh. & that story about you & Mel.
April: No comment.
Miranda continues to circulate, spraying her fragrance at news staffers on her way out of the pit & up into the lobby.
Kent Barn Later On
Clark’s doing his chores when he looks up & sees Lois standing in front of him.
Clark: Hey Lois um whaddya doing here?
He sees the 1st two buttons on her blouse are undone & she’s wearing bright red lipstick. She sexily strolls over to Clark & puts her leg up on one of the wooden stair planks hiking up her skirt in the process.
Lois: Playing hookey.
Clark: But you never play hookey.
Moving closer Lois comes right up to him making Clark feel weird.
Lois: Well a girl can try can’t she?
Clark: Lois, are you feeling okay?
Lois: Never better. I just couldn't help noticing how very handsome you look today.
Clark: Handsome?
Lois: Very.
Clark: Okay I don’t know if this’s a game or something but I don’t think your boyfriend would like this if he saw you.
Lois: My boyfriend?
Clark: Oliver muti-billionaire owns the Daily Planet amongst other things.
Lois: Oh him? I don’t really care about him.
Clark: Of course you do Lois you love him.
Lois: No actually I’m just using him for sex. The person I really wants you.
She kisses Clark passionately on the, lips who has a look on horror on his face.
Research Room
Kara / Linda’s, sifting through paper’s on unexplained events that have happened hoping to find anything on Phantoms. Oliver comes in seeing her. Linda quickly puts the papers under the desk.
Linda: Mr. Queen.
Oliver: Please call me Oliver.
Linda: I was just.
Oliver: Doing your job that’s okay.
He comes over to her.
Oliver: You know even though you’ve only worked here a few weeks you’ve done a very good job from what people have been telling me getting research for them in record time.
Linda: Well I try to be efficient Mr. Queen.
Oliver: Please call me Oliver.
He strokes her right a little.
Oliver: You’re very pretty you know that Linda.
Turning round Linda looks a little shocked at this. She gets up from her sit.
Oliver: I’d have you blonde instead of brunette though but who can complain with that face.
Linda: Mr. Queen I’ve a job to do.
Oliver: Oliver.
Linda: Oliver & we have to be professional in front of each other.
Oliver: Of course.
Looking at her he slowly backs her to the wall behind.
Linda: & your with Lois so.
Oliver: Lois? Oh I’ve quite forgotten about her.
Linda: Really I can’t think that possible.
Oliver: Well things change.
Linda: Not that quickly they don’t. Now I don’t know what’s wrong with you whether you got out the wrong side of bed this morning or something but.
Pinning her against the wall Oliver comes up right close to her.
Oliver: There’s nothing wrong with me.
Linda: Well obviously there is if you’re behaving this way.
Oliver: Well maybe it’s because I don’t really want Lois.
Linda: Oh come on I don’t think you mean that.
Oliver: Maybe it’s because I really want someone else.
He kisses her on the lips which Linda tries to wriggle outta but gets a shock when he feels the familiarity of these & breaks apart from her looking absolutely shocked.
Oliver: (Shocked) Supergirl.
Linda looks at him with shock of her own now he knows who she really is.
Perry’s Office
Perry has his feet up on the desk, listening to the sounds of Elvis' "Burning Love." Just then, Rehalia comes inside to empty the trash. As she bends over to retrieve it, Perry sits up, staring at her ample backside. On Perry, we see a strange lascivious grin on his face.
Newsroom
The runway & for the most part, the beautiful people have gone, the newsroom having settled down to a peaceful buzz. Jimmy watches as Cat finishes up her interview with April. The women stand, & shake hands. While April searches for her compact in her purse. Jimmy stands, pulls up his collar, puts on his photographer's vest, and casually strolls over to April, now powdering her face. Jimmy, a sly, insouciant smile on his lips, leans against a desk, trying his damnedest to be Mr. Cool.
Jimmy: Hey there.
April looks up at him then continues with her powdering.
Jimmy: The name's Olsen. James Olsen. I guess you've heard of me.
April: No, I haven't.
Jimmy: No problem. Most people just know me through my photographs. Bosnia, Bierut? Nam?
Jimmy's gone a little far with "Nam." April isn't buying.
April: Look, James.
Jimmy: You can call me Jimmy. Listen, let's cut to the chase. You like
what you see. I like what I see. Shall we say, cocktails, tomorrow night, your place?
April snaps her powder compact shut, breezes by with a sneer. Jimmy, undaunted, remains in the same position.
Jimmy: Okay. No problem, my place.
He feels someone tap him from behind & sees Chloe having seen all that.
Jimmy: Chloe hey.
Chloe: Hey Jimmy what was that all about?
Jimmy: Nothing that was me talking to April that’s all.
Chloe: (Angry) Oh really it looked more than that to me.
Jimmy: Oh come on it’s not like we were talking about having sex Chloe.
Chloe: (Angry) No but you, were talking about having cocktails.
Jimmy: So a guy can love two women can’t he?
Chloe: (Angry) No Jimmy he can’t.
Jimmy: Well then I’ll just have to choose one of you won’t I & seeing as I want April & not you there’s no reason for us to be together is there.
Chloe: (Angry) You know what there isn’t. See you around Jimmy.
Turning round she storms off.
Printing Room
Cat’s angrily pounding on the machine, which has failed to deliver her needed copies. The door opens & Rick walks in. Cat eyes him up.
Cat: Oh Rick thank god your here.
Rick: Hey what’s the problem Cat?
Cat: This thing ate my original.
Rick: Well I’m not the copy repair guy but I suppose I could take a look for you.
Cat: Thanks.
Rick opens the copy machine, starts fiddling with it. Cat has taken an unusual interest in him, stands & stares with her arms folded across her chest.
Cat: You're pretty deft at this I mean, it looks like you know what you're doing.
Rick: Yeah well my family said I was good with hands as well as reporting.
Cat: Really?
Cat starts moving closer to him.
Newsroom
Clark exits the elevator looking for Chloe as Lois chases after him & pins him up against the candy machine.
Clark: Lois, please. Get a grip.
Lois: Believe me, I'd love to.
Clark: Look you need to stop what you’re doing it’s embarrassing. Where’s Chloe?
Spying her he goes to her. Lois follows happily behind him.
Clark: Chloe hey I need to talk to you.
Lois grabs onto him protectively.
Clark: Hey Lois get your arms of me.
Chloe seeing what’s happening looks shocked.
Chloe: Lois? Clark what’s going on?
Lois: Clark & I are together that’s what.
Clark: No we’re not.
Chloe: Excuse me? When did this happen?
Lois: This morning but we’ve felt something for each other a long time.
Chloe: Really & Oliver?
They see him come out the research room trying to talk to Linda who’s giving him the brush off.
Lois: Oliver’s so last season. See he’s already found someone else. Good for him.
Chloe: (Shocked) Lois.
Lois: Oh come on Chloe he’s not half the man Clark is.
Chloe: Okay what’s happened?
Clark: I don’t know she came onto me after the perfume promotion & now wants to play hookey.
Chloe: Yeah well it seems she’s not the only person doing that. Jimmy came onto that girl April & I periodically dumped him.
Clark: (Shocked) What? How did that happen?
Chloe: I don’t know he just told me he wanted April & talked about having cocktails with her so I dumped him the dirty bastard.
Clark: Okay don’t you think that’s a bit harsh Chloe I mean what if something’s happened to him like it has Lois. I mean look at everyone here.
They see all the news staff been lovey dovey with each other.
Chloe: Yeah well.
Just then Perry's door flings open & Rehalia screaming exits, with Perry calling after her.
Perry: Wait! Mi amor! My peach pie! Te adoro!
Clark manages to slip out of Lois' grasp, walks up to Perry.
Clark: Mr. White what happened is she okay?
Perry: 'Okay' doesn't begin to describe her. I want to shower Rehalia with gifts, build her a golden pedestal, adore, her. She's everything I've dreamed of.
Chloe: What about your wife?
Perry: My wife?
Clark: Yes Alice the woman who has spies everywhere.
Jimmy comes up to them & speaks.
Jimmy: Well there’s plenty of love to go around, isn’t there CK.
He goes of after April.
Perry: Exactly.
He takes off in pursuit of Rehalia. Clark’s very frustrated, doesn't know how to stop the madness.
Clark: Elvis never cheated on Priscilla! Mr. White.
Perry: Well he never met Rehalia did he?
He goes off continuing his pursuit. Clark goes over to Jimmy & pulls him back.
Clark: Oh no you don’t, Jimmy.
He sits him on a sit. Lois’s tugging at Clark's sleeve.
Clark: Lois, just a minute.
Hearing something unusual he races down towards the printing room.
Outside Printing Room
The door’s closed. We can hear the copy machine going at Full Tilt, with tiny wafts of smoke coming from under the door. Clark x-rays through the door, but then, immediately shuts his eyes, amazed as to what he has just seen and what we can only imagine. He turns back & runs upstairs only to bump into Lois.
Lois: Minute's up, Clark. Come to mama.
Miranda surveys her handiwork as love's got a stranglehold on the Daily Planet.
Queen Penthouse
Oliver comes in with Linda from the opened elevator.
Linda: Oliver please your not yourself.
Oliver: Oh but I am Kara.
Linda: My name’s Linda. Wait how do you know my name’s Kara?
Turning Oliver looks at her.
Oliver: Clark told me about you.
Kara: How did Clark tell you about me?
Oliver: Clark got me outta a sticky situation using his powers & I knew they were the same powers you had so I confronted him & he told me about Krypton & what happened & you & Argo City & the fact your parents were called Alura & Zor-El & that when you went back everyone had died from Kryptonite poising. I’m so sorry about that.
Kara: Thank you Oliver but why haven’t you told anyone about me?
Oliver: Because I think your amazing Kara.
Kara: Oliver, please.
Oliver: No it’s true. You give up your life entirely to protect this planet even though it’s not your home. That to me’s the single most amazing thing anyone can do.
Kara: Well having been on earth a lot & seeing everyone & what they do here it’s worth saving. Besides at the moment I’m trying to concentrate on finding all the Phantoms.
Oliver: Which’s why, you got the job at the Planet.
Kara: So I could find things out if anything weird happened yes.
Oliver: But what about the pictures I gave you?
Kara: No-one was there when I got to their locations or government officals were examining the craters. Anyway we here to talk about, you & what’s going on with you. Why’ve you brought me here?
Oliver: Because I want to show you something
Taking her over to the desk behind the clock face Oliver gets the remote control from out the draw & points it at the clock face opening it up revealing all his Green Arrow gear his arrows, costume other instruments etc. Kara looks on shocked.
Kara: (Shocked) Oh my god your Green Arrow.
She steps forward marvelling at what’s ahead.
Kara: Well this’s definitely more than just an archery hobby.
Oliver: This’s my life Kara. Like you I protect earth also with a band of friends which’s why I came to Metropolis to recruit more people.
Kara: How long you being doing this?
Oliver: Since been abandoned on an island years ago. When I came back to Stars City I saw the corruption there & decided to do something about it hence Green Arrow.
Kara: But why’re you showing me all this?
Oliver: So you know the real me Kara & that I’m not just some billionaire playboy.
Kara: You don’t have to do that Oliver just because you like me.
Oliver: But I do Kara. I love you.
Kara: No you don’t. Something’s happened to you obviously the same thing that happened to Lex when he was drugged up on love potion & loved me.
Oliver: Wait you was with Lex?
Kara: Not intentionally. Someone drugged him because they wanted him to love them but he saw me first & loved me instead.
Oliver: But Lex isn’t capable of love.
Kara: Not now he isn’t but then he was.
Oliver: Did you love him?
Kara: I thought I did but then I saw his true nature a year later & that went outta the window.
Oliver: I won’t be like him I promise. What you see’s what you get. I’ll always be faithful & truthful to you Kara.
He kisses her on the lips which Kara pushes him away from.
Kara: Oliver please I know you this isn’t you talking.
Looking up at him she looks mournful at him.
Kara: I can’t do this I’m sorry.
Going by she runs towards the elevator & closes it up.
Oliver: Kara WAIT!
He looks on as the elevator goes down.
Kent Kitchen Later That Evening
Martha comes back from her meeting with Senator Burke seeing Clark looking despondent.
Martha: Hey Clark what’s the matter?
Clark: I’m not sure mom.
Martha: Well why don’t you tell me about it.
Clark: Okay then. Lois is into me.
Martha: Into you how?
Clark: As in she loves me.
Martha: What? Whoa. Isn’t she with Oliver?
Clark: Yes but she doesn’t care about him now.
Martha: Why?
Clark: I don’t know she was coming onto me & everything. I think something’s wrong with her & not just her but other people also.
Martha: Other people?
Clark: At the Daily Planet. I saw a reporter & gossip columnist acting weird & even the editor in chief there who’s married no less & Chloe dumped Jimmy when he said he chatted up another girl.
Martha: God it sounds like loves gone array there.
Clark: Yeah & I don’t know what to do about it.
Newsroom Next Morning
Closing in on today’s headline it reads "Dockworkers Embrace New Profit-Sharing Plan." The photo’s of the union & management reps hugging each other. Something's very different. No grumpy, whiny staffers are these. They're bright-eyed, bushy tailed, in their sharpest duds & ready for love. Jimmy hasn't shaven, going for the "rough" look of a battle weary photojournalist. Perry enters.
Perry: Good morning everyone! & a beautiful morning it is.
Lois enters the newsroom looking for Chloe. Spying here she goes over.
Lois: Hey Chloe have you seen Clark?
Chloe: Nope. Maybe he’s home doing chores.
Lois: I went & he wasn’t there. I tried ringing him last night but his phone was off the hook.
Chloe: Well with good reason Lois something’s obviously going on here.
Lois: Nothing’s going on except me & Clark if he’d pick up the phone that is.
Coming out the elevator Linda walking over to her desk sees a bunch of flowers on them. Looking at the note inside them she sees there an apology from Oliver.
Oliver: (Smiling) Hope you like them.
Turning round she sees him.
Linda: Oliver.
Oliver: I’m sorry about yesterday Linda. I didn’t mean to.

Clark: What? That woman’s on a one man mission. Where is she?
Linda: In the corner of the newsroom.
Chloe: It is funny though you & she.
Clark: No it isn’t Chloe.
Linda: Hey you’re not the only with people problems I’ve got Oliver chasing me.
Clark looks on shocked hearing this.
Clark: (Shocked) Oliver?
Linda: Yep & more seriously he knows who I really am?
Clark: What how?
Linda: He kissed me here which gave it away but I don’t think he’ll say anything.
Clark: How do you know?
Linda: Because he loves me he says.
Clark: Oh crap.
Linda: & we’re going out to dinner tonight at 7’oclock.
Clark: Can’t you get outta it?
Linda: & leave him more like he is no I can’t do that until we figure out what’s going on here.
Chloe: Come on let’s go.
Clark: What about Lois?
Linda: We’ll try get, you outta here before she sees you.
The trio open the door & walk out hearing Perry giving out the morning’s orders.
Perry: Okay, our lead story for the next edition is obvious.
A newsroom reporter answers.
Newsroom Reporter: Russia? The counter-revolution?
Perry: Revolution! Who cares? That's not what the people want to read. Now this’s a story. A man & woman meet on a train, fall in love, but then, somehow, they lose each other. Thirty years later, on that same train, they see one another from across the room...
He holds a hankerchief to his eyes.
Perry: It just breaks me up.
Lois is suddenly teary-eyed as well. She & Perry hug then several other staffers join them in a mass hug-in. Jimmy wiping away a tear, heads for the door.
Jimmy: Chief, I can't stay for the meeting. I’ve something much more important to do.
Perry: Go ahead, son.
Jimmy dashes out of the conference room. Perry smiles after him.
Perry: Love that kid.
Seeing this Clark looks at Chloe.
Clark: Aren’t you goanna go after him?
Chloe: No point he’s too loved up.
Seeing him over from the corner Lois comes up to Clark.
Lois: Oh Clark.
Clark: Oh no.
He tries to run away from her but doesn’t succeed when she pins him against the wall.
Lois: There you are.
Chloe & Linda look on wondering what to do.
Lex’s Study
Lex’s sitting at his desk, buried in paperwork, when the door opens & his fencing partner, in full regalia, enters. Lex looks up.
Lex: Oh, Emil. I didn't see you on my schedule if you'll wait a few moments, I'll.
But the masked fencer will not wait, walks up to Lex's desk & points the blade at his chest. Lex drops his pen, stares up at his attacker.
Lex: If you’re upset about our last session, then please let me make it up to you.
The fencer thrusts the blade a tiny bit. A tiny trickle of blood seeps through his shirt. Lex’s eyes grow wide with fear as the fencer now removes the mask. It's Miranda.
Lex: Miranda. What a pleasant surprise. What can I do for you?
Miranda: You wouldn't return my calls, so I decided to get your attention in my own way.
Lex: Well you've got it.
Miranda: Call your man. Tell him to have the car brought around.
Lex: Are we going somewhere?
Miranda: You are to the Daily Planet in Metropolis. I think you'll find it interesting.
Miranda removes the blade from Lex's chest, tosses a copy of the Daily Planet newspaper in front of him, turns & walks out. Lex picks up the newspaper. The "o's" in the Daily Planet ' headline, are in the shape of hearts. The headline reads: Couple Reunited! Love wins out! Lex sits for a moment then, presses his intercom.
Lex: Nigel. Have the car brought around.
Newsroom
Jimmy sits, staring at the monitor of a computer. He's going through addresses, & cross-referencing them. Finally he sees the name April Stephens. The address: 55 West Elm 11. Jimmy sits back, exhausted, but utterly happy.
Jimmy: Eureka.
Perry’s Office
Rehalia, hand on hip, stands in front of Perry's desk. She speaks in a lusty latino accent.
Rehalia: My husband says I should file a harassment suit against you.
Perry: If that's what you want, then go ahead. But nothing can keep me from proclaiming my love. I won't force anything. I'm content to adore you from afar. Listen. I've composed a little something.
He pulls a piece of paper outta his pocket.
Perry: I call 'it 'Rehalia.' (Singing) I plucked a rose. I smelled its dew. That fragrant scent embodies you. Rehalia, Rehalia.
Rehalia takes this in for a moment, then snidely responds.
Rehalia: 'I smelled its dew?' Dew doesn't smell.
Chloe’s Desk
Chloe, Clark, Lois & Linda are there talking. Clark’s trying to keep Lois off him.
Chloe: Okay we need to figure what’s going on here before it gets any worse.
Lois’s kissing Clark on the neck which annoys him.
Clark: Lois please we’re trying to concentrate here.
Linda: Okay Lois you need to stay there & keep your lips of, of Clark can you do that for me?
Giving in finally Lois speaks.
Lois: Okay.
Linda: Good. At least, Oliver’s not as bad kissing wise.
Chloe: Right well whatever happened started yesterday afternoon.
Clark: & it only affected everyone in the newsroom then & not the people outside otherwise we’d know about it meaning something happened here to do that. Maybe something we ate or drank?
Chloe: I don’t know my lunch wasn’t off.
Linda: Neither was mine.
Clark: Then it was something else.
Chloe: Other than the models being here to promote that new perfume there wasn’t much else going on.
Realising something Linda’s ears prick up.
Linda: The perfume.
Just then, Jimmy walks by, carrying a stack of black & white photos. Chloe stops him.
Chloe: Jimmy, what're those?
Jimmy: Photos from yesterday's show.
Jimmy shows Clark a picture of April.
Jimmy: (Smiling) Beautiful, isn't she? & she's all mine.
Chloe: (Smiling) Yes she is. Pity this isn’t real & you’re goanna feel a right fool when this’s all over.
Jimmy: Who says I’m goanna feel a fool?
Chloe: You’ll understand.
Jimmy walks off, leaving the gang except Lois staring at him, shaking their heads. Linda takes the photos spreads them out on a nearby table.
Clark: Okay what’re we looking for then?
Linda: I don't know. But remember when there.
She points to a picture of herself, Lois, Jimmy, Clark & Perry being sprayed by Miranda. Linda studies her face, as much as she can underneath the hat then uses telescopic vision to zero in on the perfume atomizer. The atomizer reads:
Leaded glass, hand-blown shape, antique very rare.
Linda: Got it.
Chloe: Got what?
Lex steps off the elevator, & looks around amazed at the transformation. He walks downstairs & sees Perry pass by, on his way out.
Lex: Good morning, Mr. White.
Perry: Mr. Luthor oh love waits for no man gotta run.
Lex: Yes I see.
Lex sees Oliver handing out heart shaped balloons to people. He goes over to him.
Lex: Oliver hey what’s going on here?
Oliver: Love is in the air Lex. You should try it sometime.
He hands him a balloon then blows a kiss to Linda which Lex sees then walks off.
Lex: Kara & Oliver. Who’d have thought?
Noticing the trio at Chloe’s desk he sees how close Lois & Clark are & goes to walk over there to them.
The gang stand up & walk away from Chloe’s desk.
Chloe: Okay where we going exactly?
They pass by Lex & walk up to the elevator not noticing him. He looks around one more time at the people acting all lovey dovey then walks off.
Outside Daily Planet
Lex exits the Daily Planet. Nigel opens the door to his limo.
Lex: Nigel, call Miranda. Ask her to come to my study tomorrow at 5:00.
Nigel: Very good, sir. (Beat) You'll forgive me for asking, sir, but I thought you’d cancelled on her.
Lex: Well, I've had a change of heart. It seems I was wrong about her. Apparently, she has developed a formula that renders people incapable of resisting their animal urges.
Nigel: & that would be of some service to you?
Lex: Oh, yes indeed. You see, I've always thought of myself an opportunist, & what we’ve here’s an opportunity. If you control men's hearts, their minds will follow. For example, a politician, owned by me’s losing in the polls a dashing fellow but the kind that women love only from afar. The night before elections, a little whiff through the auditorium, the theatre the result a landslide. Or, I wish to buy a successful company like Queen Industries for e.g. at a bargain price. A spray here, a dab there how could they deny me?
Nigel: Very ingenious.
Lex: Thank you, Nigel. That's what as they say I get the big bucks for.
Nondescript Apartment Hallway Nightime
Perry stops in front of an apartment doorway sets down his portable radio. He wears black leather pants, black leather jacket. He positions himself, Elvis Style then turns on the radio. To the strains of "Burning Love," he starts singing.
Perry: "I'm just a hunka hunka burning love..."
It's not long before other apartment doors start opening & slamming. Finally, the door he wants to open opens, but standing in front of Rehalia is her 6'3" husband whose immense fist fills the screen en route to Perry's nose.
Kara’s Desk
Oliver & Kara who’s blonde now are having Chinese takeaway as Kara’s drawing Miranda’s picture on a piece of paper.
Oliver: Okay when I said we’d have dinner I didn’t imagine been in the newsroom eating Chinese take out.
Half noticing him but still continuing drawing the picture Kara speaks.
Kara: Well I need to figure out what’s going on & here’s the best place to be.
Oliver: Yeah but I wanted to get all dressed up & take you to a fancy restaurant & everything.
Kara: A guy doesn’t need to take me out to fancy restaurant Oliver for me to like them. Besides I don’t have a good dress for that.
Oliver: So I’d have brought you one.
Kara: & I wouldn’t have accepted it because A: I’m not Lois & B: You’re not yourself.
Oliver: Well if I’m not myself then why’re you here & blonde then?
Kara: To keep an eye on you & make sure you don’t do anything stupid until me, Chloe & Clark figure this out. & you know me now so I don’t need to be Linda in private to you.
Oliver looks at the picture she’s drawing.
Oliver: So who’s that you’re drawing then?
Kara: The woman here yesterday who sprayed her perfume at everyone.
Oliver: Why you think she has something to do with the way everyone’s acting?
Kara: Definitely but me, Chloe & Clark can’t do anything until I’ve I.D her.
She puts the picture in the printer & scans it on the computer. Oliver drinks a bit more champagne.
Oliver: So how comes you & Clark weren’t affected by the perfume?
Kara: Probably because we’re not attracted to you & Lois that or the perfume only affects humans.
Seeing the picture onscreen she goes into the face recognition software & types in information on it. The computer starts retrieving that which takes a few minutes. Leaning forward Oliver nibbles Kara on the neck which she doesn’t like.
Oliver: Mmm you’re so sexy blonde.
Kara: Oliver no.
Oliver: What I wasn’t kissing you.
Kara: That’s not the point. Firstly you’re with Lois & secondly I can’t concentrate if you do that.
Oliver: Why don’t you like me then?
Kara: Yes you’re my friend but that’s it.
Oliver: I don’t believe you.
Kara: Well believe it pal.
Oliver: Okay then, look me in the eye & tell me you don’t like me.
She does that.
Kara: I don’t like you.
Seeing through her Oliver speaks.
Oliver: You’re lying.
Kara: How do you know?
Oliver: Because I’m very good at sizing women up.
Kara: Alright yes Oliver I do like you but you’re with Lois now & I’d never do anything to jeopardise that.
Oliver: A woman hiding behind her pride I love that.
Hearing this Kara lowers her head.
Kara: Oh no.
Ace Of Clubs
Jimmy, driving a shiny, newly-rented Corvette, stops in front of the club, hops out. He wears a "Miami Vice" suit, loafers with no socks. He walks casually past the gargantuan bouncer/doorman, Hans, who stops him.
Hans: Members only.
Jimmy: No problem.
He reaches in his pocket, takes out a five, slips, it to Hans. Hans looks at the bill puts it in his mouth & chews. Just then, April & several of her VIP friends exit the club. Jimmy slips in front of April, still playing Mr. Debonaire.
Jimmy: April I didn't know you were a member here.
April: Are you?
Jimmy: Me? No way. I hate these kinder places. I prefer to spend my nights by a roaring fire a glass of wine a beautiful woman.
He pauses for a bit.
Jimmy: Let's stop playing games, April.
April: Yes lets how about you go home to your girlfriend.
Jimmy: Excuse me?
April: Cute short haired little blonde reporter.
Jimmy: Chloe? She means nothing to me.
April: Well she should. I’m surprised she’s not here stopping you do this.
Jimmy: No she had something to do. Come on hop in my car & I’ll show you what you’ve been missing.
April stares at him, then.
April: Hans!
Hans approaches Jimmy, who puts his hands up.
Jimmy: Okay, big boy. I get the picture.
April turns & walks down the street with her friends. Jimmy stares after her.
Metropolis Street
Jimmy, devastated, walks past his sports car and starts to cross the street without looking. Suddenly he looks up, sees a truck heading right for him, horn blaring.
Kara’s Desk
The info on the pictures coming as Kara hears something going with her super hearing.
Oliver: Kara what is it?
Realising what she flies, out the opened window quickly to the location of the sound.
Metropolis Street
The truck’s inches away. Supergirl swoops in just in time & scoops Jimmy up in her arms & flies away with him.
Metropolis Sky
Snapping out of it momentarily looks on shocked at, who it is.
Jimmy: Supergirl.
Supergirl: Are you alright Jimmy?
Jimmy: Yeah I think so. How do you know my name?
Supergirl: I’m a friend of Clark’s.
Jimmy: What happened?
Supergirl: I’m not sure but I’d better take you home.
She flies off, carrying Jimmy as we.
Kent Lounge
Clark’s watching a movie as he hears the doorbell ring. Getting up he goes over to the door & flings it open to find Lois standing in the doorway, wearing a trench coat.
Clark: Lois.
He looks at his watch
Clark: It's very late.
Lois: Not too late, for us I hope for happiness.
Lois unties the trench coat. She's wearing a harem outfit.
Clark: Oh, no. Lois, please don't.
Lois walks inside kicks the door closed behind her. She steps in front of Clark, puts her arms around him.
Lois: (Deadly Serious) I love you, Clark Kent. I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.
Clark: Lois, please go home. You’ll wake mom up.
Coming closer Lois looks at him.
Lois: No I won’t. You're here. This’s my home.
Clark: You know I’m really getting tired of this.
Lois, undaunted, won't let go. She stares deeply into his eyes.
Lois: Yeah well I’m not.
Putting her hands on Clark’s face she kisses him passionately there. Clark pulls her of him.
Clark: Lois no.
Backing of she puts a White Snake CD she has in the CD player & starts doing the dance of the 7 veils to it.
Queen Penthouse Next Morning
Oliver comes down the spiralling staircase from his bedroom wearing a white shirt & blue boxers. He spies Kara in front of him holding a piece of paper.
Kara: Morning Oliver how’re you feeling?
He holds his forehead at that answer.
Oliver: Pretty ridiculous. & my head hurts.
Kara: Thought it would if you take these.
She holds out 2 ibuprofen tablets.
Kara: Hopefully they’ll help.
Oliver takes them from her.
Oliver: Thanks.
He goes over to the sink & pulls out a glass of water then gulps down the tablets with water.
Oliver: You know I actually remember what happened, which makes it worse. Thank god it didn’t go any further.
Kara: Yeah but that was the perfume talking not you. It wasn’t your fault.
Oliver: No but what I said came from somewhere & that doesn’t excuse what I’ve done to Lois.
Kara: & Lois was in the same boat as you & everyone else in the newsroom were. You’ll both forgive each other as Chloe will Jimmy. Besides what I said didn’t help much which I shouldn’t have done.
Oliver: You were just been honest I appreciate that if things were different & I weren’t with Lois who knows.
Kara: Yeah well it’s over now so let’s just chalk it down to a moment of madness.
Oliver: Okay.
Kara: Good. At least we know the effects last for 2 days.
Oliver: Yep.
Kara: So what we need to do’s find Miranda & figure out how she did what she did & why she did it.
Oliver: Can you do that?
Kara: Mmm. I managed to find her website which listed her shops address. I called Clark & told him I’m goanna meet Chloe at the shop.
Oliver: Right. I’d better go upstairs & wash & dress then try & find Lois & explain everything to her.
Kara: Okay I’ll see you later at the Planet.
Oliver: Yeah see you later.
Turning round, Oliver walks upstairs.
Kent Kitchen
Martha & Clark are sitting there drinking coffee.
Clark’s Room
Lois stirs, awakens, sits up, puts her hand over her forehead feels like she has a hangover. She gets outta bed, unaware that she still has on her harem outfit, then slowly lifts her head, looks around as if to say where the hell she is. Getting up she looks in the mirror seeing herself & goes into full shock mood.
Kent Kent
Clark hearing Lois come downstairs prepares himself for the worse. Martha looks at him sympathetically. He turns round.
Clark: Lois.
She tries saying something but is too embarrassed for words.
Lois: Martha. Clark.
Martha: How you feeling?
Lois: Not sure really. Embarrassed comes to mind.
Martha: There’s coffee if you want.
Lois: Thanks.
She pours out a cup.
Clark: No milk?
Lois: I think after whatever I did last night I need it strong.
Clark: You don’t remember?
Lois: Well I obviously did something dressed like this. Come on tell me I can take it.
Clark does so. Lois hangs her head in shame.
Lois: Oh god.
Martha: Lois it wasn’t your fault.
Lois: Yeah but that still doesn’t excuse what I did especially to Oliver.
Clark: Well he was in the same boat as everyone else in the newsroom was so I think he’d understand.
Lois: Yeah but what if something happened between him & Linda?
Martha: I don’t think that happened, Lois. Linda wouldn’t let it.
Lois: Still doesn’t say how I’m goanna explain this all to Oliver. So what’re we doing about this then?
Clark: Well Linda rang & said she’d got the address of Miranda’s shop & that she & Chloe were going there to investigate it.
Lois: Okay I’ll go home wash & change then go to the Inquisitor & explain everything to my editor then hop down to the Planet & apologise to Oliver.
