Caught in the rain

It started out quietly, and then, quite suddenly, you're caught in a storm. Time to find cover. Nothing much to do but to wait it out.

Scenarios listed below for those who want 'em.

i WHERE:
001 PLAYGROUND - Well, you can try to hide under the slide or maybe in the jungle gym... at least you're some place fun?
002 PARK - Always happens, caught outside trying to take advantage of the weather... and it ends up pulling a fast one on you.
003 STORE FRONT - Better hope they have an awning you can take advantage of.
004 THE BEACH - Not exactly the best place to be during a rainstorm, however it is possible to get caught in a sudden storm.
005 WILD CARD - Anyway you want it.

ii HOW:
001 TREE - Not the best cover, but it'll have to do, stay close to the roots and you won't get too wet.
002 UMBRELLA - Most conventional... Kinda boring. But it works.
003 NEWSPAPER - Not permanent, but it'll have to do. Good luck.
004 BAG - Well... y'gotta do what you gotta do.
005 NONE - You know what. You're a rebel. You don't need cover. Screw convention.
006 WILD CARD - that's the way you need it.

iii WHY:
001 REJECTED - Welp. Rejection sucks. And no one will see you crying in the rain.
002 WAITING - For the bus? For someone else? For some revelation? What are you waiting for.
003 MELANCHOLY - Sometimes the best place to feel a bit down is out in the rain.
004 HAPPINESS - Is everything going your way? Are you singing a refrain while walking down the lane? Just singing. Singin' in the rain.
005 ANGER - WELL YOU KNOW WHAT. SCREW YOU TOO, RAIN.
006 WILD CARD - Anyway you want it.

[ The problem with walking to work on a sunny morning is that sometimes it doesn't stay sunny. Sure, there were a few clouds hovering like pale gray balloons above the city, but that was hours ago. Many, many hours ago. It's night now and, while Lois has a warm jacket (she's absent-minded, not stupid), the fact that its begun raining sometime between afternoon and now has. Escaped her attention. Completely. Of course, she's been working on an expose of some political figures and their predilictions for affairs, so she didn't notice the rest of the clouds roll in.

Or the sudden storm arriving just before Lois lef work. If she had, there's a small giftshop in the Planet's lobby, and presumably there are umbrellas. To top it off, all the buses are packed wih equally wet stragglers. By the time she makes it home, Metropolis' premiere reporter feels, and suspects she looks like, a drowning spaniel. She's tired, soaked to the bone, and still trying to figure out which restaurant to call up and order take-out when she walks into the apartmen she shared with Clark.

And shrieks. Like a ninny. Because there's a ghost perched on the couch in jeans and a sweater, looking for all the world like he's been waiting. ]
