Chapter 1



The frontier stretched out before her. The wild grasses on the hills danced in the wind. The young Kawatche girl gazed to the horizon. There was nothing around her except the expanse of the frontier. She wore braids in her long dark hair. Her clothing was typical of her people. She wore leather leggings and a long tanned leather shirt, which was decorated with red, blue and yellow beads. She led her horse to the peak of one of the hills. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, smiling when she exhaled. When she opened her eyes, there was something different about her. Although she looked like a member of her tribe, something set her apart from everyone else. It was her eyes…they were not dark; rather, they were green.

Suddenly, she heard something that sounded like thunder, but there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. She looked to the sky behind her and gasped at what she saw. Trails of fire and smoke streaked the sky. They passed overhead and one of them hit the ground a few miles away. The impact was so intense that she felt the ground shake. The young girl, although frightened, mounted her horse and headed towards the billowing smoke.

When she arrived, the grasses were burned to the ground and a large crater was in the middle. She dismounted and cautiously approached the edge of the crater. She peeked over the edge and looked down. There was something down there. She made her way over the edge. She moved closer to that object at the bottom of the crater. She stopped abruptly when she saw something move. It was then that she realized that whatever it was, was alive. The girl tried to get her breathing under control and inched her way towards it. ‘Maybe it’s an animal that fell in,’ she thought. The closer she got, the more she was able to see it. ‘No, it can’t be,’ she thought. It was…a man? He was curled up on the ground facing away from her. She ran to him thinking he was hurt from whatever fell from the sky. Suddenly, a low moan came from him. She stopped dead in her tracks. She held her breath and waited a moment before she spoke.

“Hel-Hello?…Are-Are you hurt?” she asked nervously.

When he didn’t answer she moved closer. She was able to take a good look at him now. He wasn’t wearing anything except a shiny metallic bracelet on his arm, which laid on his hip. Although he was facing away from her, she could tell he was tall, lean, and muscular. His hair was different than that of her people. It was dark, but short and wavy. Curious as she was, she knelt down next to his back and reached out to touch his hair.

“It’s so soft…like a baby’s hair.”

Then, she gently touched his shoulder with her finger and then immediately pulled it back. She had never seen anyone with his color skin before. It was so pale. When he still didn’t move, she touched him again. Her curiosity got the better of her. She traced the muscles on his arm with her fingers and then she moved to the muscles on his back. Suddenly, he moaned and moved his arm and head. The young girl scrambled on the ground away from him. From behind him, she watched him slowly stand up. She knew he was tall, but she didn’t realize just how tall until he towered over her, which scared her. She quickly got up and ran back towards her horse, leaving the man behind. She mounted her horse and rode away. Looking back, she saw the man had turned around and saw her. She urged her horse to run faster. Suddenly, she saw something out of the corner of her eye and it startled her horse. The horse reared up and threw her off. She flew into the air and awaited the inevitable impact with the hard ground…but it never came. When she opened her eyes she found herself cradled in someone’s arms. Her eyes moved from the arms to the pale, bare chest. At that point, she knew who it was, but how did he get there so fast? Her breathing became more rapid as she moved her gaze up to the stranger’s face. He looked like…

Lana shot straight up in her bed, gasping for breath. The stranger in her dream looked exactly like…

“Clark?"

[Minnesotagirl]

Well, here's the update. Thanks for the comments!

Chapter 2



Later that afternoon, Lana’s SUV pulled up in front of the Kents’ house. The doctor reinstated her driving privileges a week ago, so she was able to take all her finals. She had actually just finished her last final and came right over. She couldn’t wait to see Clark. They came to an agreement that they wouldn’t see each other until her finals were over. Lana had to concentrate on her studies and if she saw Clark, she knew there was no way she’d be able to study. Lana got out of her car and quickly walked to the kitchen door. She knocked and anxiously waited for someone to answer. Then, the door opened.

“Oh, hi, Lana. It’s good to see you. How are you doing?” Martha asked.

“I’m doing great. How about you?”

“Fine. Just fine. Thanks for asking. Would you like to come in?”

“Sure, thanks.”

Lana followed Martha into the kitchen and they sat down at the table.

“So, how much longer until that comes off?” Martha pointed to her cast.

“Two more weeks. I wish it were today. This thing is driving me crazy. With the summer heat this cast really itches.”

“I’m sure it does. You know, I think we may still have a tool that Jonathan used when he broke his leg. It’s a long metal wire that can get under the cast so you can scratch whatever needs to be scratched. I’ll look around for it and you can take it with you.”

Lana smiled. “Thank you Mrs. Kent. I really appreciate it.”

Martha smiled back at her. There was a short pause between them.

“Mrs. Kent, I’d like to apologize for causing any problems because I stayed here a few weekends ago.”

“No, please don’t. When I found your shirt in our bedroom, I jumped to conclusions.”

“Nothing happened.”

“We know that…now, but at the time what were we supposed to think?”

“Well, all I can tell you is that Clark was the perfect gentleman…and a great cook.”

Martha’s mouth gaped open in disbelief. “Clark cooked?”

“Well…Yeah. He kind of had to. Why? Doesn’t he normally?”

“Not when I’m around. I think I’ll have to have a mother-son chat with him about him taking over some of the meals,” she smirked.

Lana and Martha laughed about that. Lana was getting a little fidgety. She wanted to see Clark, but then Martha started up the conversation again.

“And how is school going?”

“I actually just took my last final today. That’s kind of why I’m here. I’ve been so stressed out all week about school that I need to blow off some steam. I was hoping I could rope Clark into going horseback riding tomorrow. Is he around?”

“I think he’s out by the barnyard fence.”

“Thanks.” Lana abruptly got up and practically ran across the kitchen.

“Lana?”

Lana had almost made it out the door when Martha called her.

“Yes?”

“Would you like to stay for dinner? It’ll be ready in a few hours.”

“Sure. I’d love to. Thank you.” ‘Clark has the best mom,’ Lana thought to herself.

“Oh, before you go, can you ask Clark to pick some apples off the tree in the front yard? I’ll need them for dessert.”

“Sure.”

“Here, you can put them in this.” Martha handed her a bowl. Lana turned around and went out the door. She placed the bowl on the porch steps to use later. When she knew she was out of site of Clark’s mother, she ran to the barnyard. When she got there, she found Clark sitting on the top rail of the fence, facing away from her. She made her way over to him, but he didn’t hear her. He was too distracted by a piece of paper in his hands.

“You know, you’re going to burn a hole through that if you stare at it any longer,” she teased, just to get his attention.

“Lana! Hey, what are you doing here?” He folded up the paper and put it in his pocket.

“Am I not allowed to come over and see my boyfriend?” She gave him a hurt little look.

“No, it’s not that. I thought we weren’t going to see each other until after your finals are done.”

“Well…It just so happens that I have completed my last final exactly,” Lana looked at her watch, “one hour, four minutes, and…twenty-eight seconds ago.” She then maneuvered her way in between his legs and wrapped her arms around his waist. She looked up at him.

“So, does this mean that I’m allowed to distract you now?” he asked seductively.

“Oh, definitely! And you’ve got a week’s worth of distractions to catch up on. And so far, you’re not doing a very good job. We haven’t seen each other for five days and I’ve been here for almost a minute and you haven’t even kissed me!” she pouted.

Clark raised an eyebrow at her. “Well, then, let me rectify that.” He leaned down and gave her a quick peck on the cheek, just to annoy her. It wasn’t what Lana was expecting.

“You call that a kiss? Come on, you gotta do better than that.”

“Well, it’s kind of hard when you’re way down there.”

“Did Clark Kent just crack a joke about my height? Well then, I’ll guess I’ll have to fix that.” Lana unwrapped her arms from his waist and placed them on his thighs. She then climbed up and stood on the bottom rung of the fence, which brought her eye-to-eye with Clark. Clark turned his head and looked back to the house to see where his mother was.

“Lana, my mom…”

“Don’t worry, Clark. She won’t see us. She’s busy getting supper ready. And your dad isn’t here.”

With that he snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her in. This time it wasn’t going to be a little peck on the cheek. Clark looked at the sly grin on her lips and dove in. It was a full-on kiss, filled with intensity and heat. Lana’s hands were still on his thighs, kneading them with every movement of their upper bodies. She felt her legs begin to weaken, so she took her hands and grasped his shoulders instead. She could feel his hands roaming around on her back.

Lana wasn’t the only one to feel the effects of the kiss. Clark had to grab fistfuls of the back of her shirt just so he wouldn’t squeeze her too tight. He felt himself get warmer. If he didn’t break that kiss soon, something was going to burst into flames. After a few more minutes they broke apart. His breaths were heavy, hers were rasping.

“So…was that…better?” he managed to get out between breaths.

Lana had trouble forming words. “Uh-huh,” was all that came out. Her mind stopped spinning a few moments later.

“God, Clark, have you been holding out on me?”

Clark just chuckled at her.

“You do realized that I expect kisses of that caliber or better every time from now on, don’t you?” she said, grinning like a Cheshire cat.

“Oh, yeah? And if they aren’t?”

“Well, then, if at first you don’t succeed, you’ll have to try (she gives him a little kiss), try (kiss), and try (longer kiss) again.”

“You know, I think I’m going to enjoy this.”

“So, what were you looking at when I came up?” she asked him.

“What? Oh, this.” He pulled the piece of paper out of his pocket. “It’s a job offer.”

“Really? For what?”

“Coach Quigley asked if I’d be interested in being an assistant coach for football. Plus, I could use the money for school.”

“Clark, this is great! I’m so proud of you. So I guess you get to stay in high school a little bit longer…kind of.”

“Oh, it’s not a position at Smallville High.”

“Then where is it?”

“Smallville Elementary. You are looking at the new assistant coach of the Smallville Elementary Cardinals.”

Lana smiled proudly at him. “So, does that mean I can come watch you coach?”

“That depends. How much longer are we going to keep us under wraps?”

“Maybe a little bit longer. If your parents knew we were back together, they would never leave us alone on this farm…ever. Besides, it’s nice not having people bugging us and asking questions like ‘So, is it going to last longer than two days this time?’ And Chloe already knows, so we don’t have to worry about hurting her again.”

“I totally agree. We’ll just tell everyone when it’s right.”

Lana let out a yawn.

“You O.K.?” he asked.

“Yeah, fine. Why?”

“You look a little tired.”

“I just had a weird dream last night and didn’t get much sleep.”

“You wanna talk about it?” he asked concerned.

“No. It’s fine. I’m sure it’s just from stress for studying for my last final.” Lana climbed down off the fence and started to walk back to the house “Come on. Let’s get back to the house. Your mom wants us to pick some apples for dessert.”

“Us?”

“Did I fail to mention that I’m staying for dinner?” Lana grinned at him and ran back towards the house.

:eek: There is a sequel?!

I'm the last in on these things, sorry. Awesome job thus far :D.

[Cardinal]

Anyone that sees those two together for more than five seconds will know that they're together, so good luck to them keeping it secret.

Thanks for starting this sequel. We always want more of what MOOman referred to once as "yummy Clana goodness."

As a sidenote to the dilatory 4EverSmallville, I'd like to say this: If you showed up more often on this board, you'd learn about exciting events like Minnesotagirl's new story in a more timely manner! :D

[Minnesotagirl]

Here's a quick little update. It's more like Chapter 2 continued. Be prepared for a little sweetness!



Clark climbed down and ran after her. He caught up to her in the driveway and was just about to pick her up by the waist when his father pulled up. Jonathan got out of the truck.

“Hey, Mr. Kent. How are you?” she asked.

“Fine. And you?”

“Great.”

Jonathan looked at Clark, who was standing behind Lana. “So, what have you two been up to out in that field?”

Clark and Lana looked nervously at each other. “I was just trying to talk Clark into going horseback riding tomorrow.”

“Yeah…Horseback riding,” Clark said, trying to sound truthful.

“Ummm…Clark and I were just about to pick some apples for tonight, so, we’ll see you later.” They quickly walked over to the porch for the bowl and walked over to the apple trees in the front yard.

When they got there and looked up, all of the apples were about eight feet up.

“Got a ladder?”

“I’ve got a better idea.” Clark came up behind her and picked her up under her arms.

“Ahhh! What are you doing?” she screeched. He lifted her over his head and set her down on his shoulders. She wrapped her feet around to his back and held on for dear life.

“You used to be a cheerleader. You should be used to this.”

“Clark! That was over four years ago!”

“So, if I did this…” Clark hopped up and down and swerved around. “…you’d be scared?” Lana held on even tighter when he did that.

“Ahhh! Stop it!” she giggled. “Here, hold on to the bowl. I’ll hand you the apples.”

Meanwhile, Martha was inside and heard the giggling and screaming. She looked out the front window and smiled at what she saw. She saw her son laughing and having fun.

“Jonathan, come here.”

“What is it?”

“Look.”

Jonathan looked towards the trees and saw Lana on Clark’s shoulders. He saw how happy he was.

“It’s been a long time since I heard him laugh like that,” he said.

“I think he’s finally put this last year behind him. I didn’t ever think I’d hear him laugh again after what happened to Alicia.”

“Come on, Sweetheart. We don’t what them see us. They’ll think we’re spying.”

“We are spying. We’re parents. Do you think they’re together again?”

“If they are, I’m sure they will tell us.”

Lana and Clark picked a bowlful of apples and headed towards the house. Lana was still on his shoulders. He handed her the bowl and held on to her legs instead.

“Aren’t you going to put me down?” she asked.

“When we get to the porch.”

“In that case…” Lana plopped the bowl on his head.

“Hey! You’ll mess up my hair!”

“Clark, in all the years I’ve known you, your hair has never been not messy. Besides, I like it kinda unkempt. I think it’s sexy.” Clark squeezed her legs to let her know he liked what he heard.

They got to the porch and Lana handed him the bowl. Clark turned around and backed up to the porch’s rail. Lana unwrapped her feet from his back and sat down on the rail. He turned back around and found himself face-to-face with her.

“I think we just found another kissing spot where we won’t have any height conflicts,” Lana whispered seductively. Clark was about to move in for a kiss when his father came out the door. Clark quickly stepped back.

“Clark, your mother needs those apples. You two come inside and clean up for dinner.”

“Be right in, Dad.” Jonathan looked at the two suspiciously and went back inside.

“Whew! That was close!" said Clark.

“But fun. I think I’m going to like this sneaking around thing,” she said with a smile.

They went inside and enjoyed a nice family dinner.

[Cardinal]

Woo-hoo! First post. I knew there was a good reason to visit K-Site before work.

Anyway, it looks like Clark and Lana may end up thinking that they're sneaking around and fooling everyone, while everyone will have figured it out already and are just waiting for Clark and Lana to confess about their new relationship status.

In any case, good stuff! :)

there she goes again.........lolz C.A.chick......

[clana4ev3r]

ALL HALE QUEEN SMILEY C.A. CHICK!!!

[MOOman0618]

Very sweet update! I am sooo glad you decided to do a sequel! You write cute and happy Clana so well. Can’t wait for more.

[Minnesotagirl]

Here's another quick update. It's the first part of the next chapter. Basically, the story is going to start out kind of slow, but then it'll pick up when a character we haven't seen for a while shows up (hint, hint, wink, wink).

Chapter 3 - Part 1



“Mrs. Kent, that was a delicious meal, and the apple crisp was wonderful!”

“Well, thank you, Lana. I’m glad you liked it.”

The Kent family and Lana sat around the table and sipped their coffee.

“So, Lana, I hear you’re getting your cast off in a few weeks,” asked Jonathan.

“Yeah, it’s driving me nuts. I keep whapping myself at night. I don’t think my nose can take much more of this.”

Jonathan gave a chuckle. “Yeah, I remember when I broke my leg. A few weeks before it was to come off I wanted to take the hacksaw out of my toolchest and saw it off myself.”

“You still got that hacksaw?” joked Lana. The whole family laughed at that one. Martha started to get up to clear the table.

“No, please, Mrs. Kent. Allow me.” Lana got up and started to clear the table.

“I’ll help.” Clark jumped out of his chair, picked up the rest of the dishes and followed Lana into the kitchen. Martha and Jonathan saw this and gave each other a look.

“Well, I guess I better get going. Clark and I have an early day tomorrow. Right, Clark?”

“Right. Ummm…I’ll have the horses ready by the time you get here.”

“Great. Thank you very much for dinner. Good-night.”

“Your welcome, Lana. Drive safe,” Martha replied.

Lana turned towards the door.

“I’ll walk you out.” Clark escorted her to her car.

“You know, Clark, if you keep this up, your parents are going to figure it out.”

“Keep what up?”

“Oh, I don’t know…Helping me clear the dishes…Walking me to my car…”

“Hey, I’m just being nice.”

“Well, if you were any nicer, I’d have to grab you and have my way with you,” she teased. She climbed into her car and Clark closed the door. He spoke to her through the open window.

“Do you know how much I want to kiss you right now?”

“Yes,” she smiled. “But I don’t think we should give your parents a show.” She pointed towards the house. Clark turned around. Sure enough, there were his parents standing in the doorway watching them. When his parents saw that they were caught, they nonchalantly inspected the door, pretending that there was something wrong with it.

“Parents. What can you do?”

Lana laughed. “I better go. Good-night, Clark.”

“Good-night. See you tomorrow.”

Lana turned on the engine. Before she pulled away she gave him a little tease. “Oh, and I’ll be collecting that kiss tomorrow.”

Clark watched her pull out of the driveway and drive down the road. In the distance he heard the faint roll of thunder. He walked back into the house, where his mother was washing up the dishes. She gave him a look.

“What?” he asked.

“Nothing.”

“No, no, no. I know that look.”

“What look?”

“That look!”

“Clark, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” She gave her son a sly smile.

“Augh! I’m going to bed. Good-night, Mom.”

Clark quickly went upstairs. When he was out of sight, Martha couldn’t hold her laugh back anymore. She finished up the dishes and then she went upstairs.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Lana had fallen fast asleep.

Chapter 3 (continued)


She looked up into his eyes. She had never seen eyes of that color before. They were the color of the blue-green stones that her people sometimes use in their jewelry. Just as she was about to say something to him, her eyes caught something behind him in the sky. It was another streak of smoke…and it was heading right towards them. The girl’s eyes opened wide at what was coming. The stranger looked behind him and saw what she was looking at. He had just enough time to place her on the ground and crouch over her, covering her body with his. She covered her head with her hands and shut her eyes. An instant later, she felt the impact. She kept her head down until the thunder from the impact disappeared. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up. There he was looking down at her. His eyes were filled with concern, but only for a moment. Suddenly, his demeanor changed. His face turned into a look of pain. He groaned and fell to the ground writhing.

She crawled over to him and tried to help him, but he was moving too much.

“What’s wrong? Are you in pain?”

He answered her in a language she didn’t understand. Suddenly, he stopped moving. He was unconscious. She shook him by the shoulder to wake him up, but to no avail. Based on his labored breathing and his furrowed brow, she knew that he was in great pain, even though he was not conscious.

“Don’t worry. It’ll be all right. I’m going to get you help.”

The young girl whistled for her horse, which had run behind the hill when the explosion happened. Her horse came running over to her. She grabbed the blanket off of him and wrapped the stranger in it. She coaxed her horse to lie on the ground next to him. She then used all her strength to move him onto the back of the horse. Then she got her horse to stand up slowly.

She walked her horse and the stranger back to her camp a few miles away. Every time she checked on the stranger, he looked to be getting worse. He had sprung a fever and looked so pale. She hurried as fast as she could. Soon, she could see the village.

“Father! Father! Come quickly!”

An older man came running out his home. He was tall with slightly graying hair. He saw his daughter and ran over to her. He then noticed the man on the horse.

“Leotie, who is this?” He then looked at his daughter, who was covered in dirt. “What has happened?”

“I don’t know. I saw streaks of fire in the sky and when I saw one hit the ground, I rode over to it. That’s where I found him. Father, he’s hurt.”

Her father quickly inspected the stranger.

“Come. Let us get him inside.”

Her father called over two young men and they helped to carry the stranger into the teepee. Leotie followed. They laid him down on the sleeping mat.

“Leotie, go get a bowl of water, a cloth, and my bag of medicines. I need to treat his wounds.”

She quickly did as her father asked. While he waited for her to return, he was able to see that this man was nothing like he had ever seen before. Why was he here? Did the spirits send him? He saw no injury on him, so he turned him over. Leotie’s father saw that it looked as if something had hit him on the back. It was covered with blood. There were several deep cuts with debris imbedded in his skin. Leotie returned and handed her father what he asked for.

He dipped the cloth in the water and gently dabbed at the stranger’s wounds, cleaning out any debris from the cuts. However, one gash in particular was very deep. He rinsed the cloth in the water, which had become dark with blood. Leotie brought him another bowl of clean water to use. Her father took a small cup and filled it with clean water. He carefully poured it over the deeper cut to rinse the debris out. He took his hands and felt around the wound.

“There is something in there. Leotie, hand me the awl.”

Leotie handed him the thin, pointed piece of wood. He began to dig inside the wound, trying to remove whatever was still in there. However, he was having trouble getting it out. He dug deeper and felt the object. The stranger moaned as he dug deeper.

“Father, you’re hurting him.”

“It is very deep. I almost have it.” Finally, her father was able to force it out of the wound. When it came to the surface, he didn’t know what to think. It was a piece of rock, but not any rock he had ever seen. It…glowed. Leotie stared at the glowing green rock in her father’s hand.

“Father, what is it?”

“I do not know. But whatever it is, we cannot keep it in here. Leotie, take it outside and hide it. Do not tell anybody about it.”

“But Father…”

“Leotie, do as I say. Now, go.” Leotie placed it in a small bag and ran outside. Her father opened his medicine bag and prepared a treatment for the cuts. However, when he brought the mixture over to the stranger, he couldn’t believe what he saw. Right before his very eyes, the gashes began to close up and heal on their own. Leotie’s father gasped at the scene. Soon, all the cuts were healed. It didn’t look like the stranger had been injured at all. Shortly thereafter, Leotie returned.

“Father, how is he?” Leotie’s father snapped back to reality.

“Did you dispose of the rock?”

“Yes, Father.”

“Did anyone see you?”

“No, Father. I hurried over to the woods and buried it. Nobody saw me. The whole village is too busy talking about the stranger.”

“Good…Good.”

“You never answered my question. How is he?”

Her father had been kneeling in front of the stranger, blocking Leotie’s view of him. Her father moved out of the way so she could see him.

“He is…healed,” he said.

“Father! His back! What happened to the wounds?”

“I do not know.” Her father stood up and held her by the shoulders. “Leotie, you need to tell me exactly what happened today.”

Leotie looked at the stranger and then back to her father. She nodded in compliance. She then recalled the events of the day, from the first time she saw the streaks of fire in the sky to the stranger catching her when she was thrown from her horse. Then she told him about the other fireball that fell from the sky.

“Father, he saved me. He put himself between the fireball and myself. How he survived, I’ll never know.”

“Leotie, I do not know where he came from or why he is here, but the Spirits sent him for a reason. I do not want the village to panic. I must go and speak with the elders. Stay here with him. As soon as he wakes up, send for me.”

“Yes, Father.”

Her father quickly left to gather the elders. After a few minutes, Leotie moved closer to the sleeping stranger.

“Where do you come from? Why are you here?” she questioned, even though she knew he could not answer.

“I suppose you are wondering where you are. You are in the village of my people…the Kawatche. My father was just here. He’s the medicine man of the village. He’s speaking with the elders right now. We just don’t know what to make of you. You don’t look like any man I’ve ever seen. And how did you survive getting hit by the fireball? Please wake up.” She gently brushed the hair off his forehead.

The stranger stirred slightly and slowly opened his eyes. He looked around the unfamiliar surroundings. He began to get nervous and quickly sat up.

“Wait. It’s all right. I’m here to help,” she said softly, trying to calm his nerves. He stared at her with wide eyes…those crystal clear eyes that she could get lost in.

“What’s your name?” she asked.

He looked at her with confusion.

“Do you understand what I am saying? Apparently not.” Leotie pointed to herself. “My name is Leotie.” She pointed to herself again. “Leotie.”

The stranger seemed to understand what she meant. “Le-o-tie,” he repeated.

“Yes. That’s right. I’m Leotie. What is your name?” She pointed to him.

He pointed to himself and said his name.

“Nam-An.”

Chapter 4



After another night filled with strange dreams, Lana really needed caffeine. She quickly got ready for her day of horseback riding and went down to the Talon to get her latte and morning croissant. When she turned around from the counter, she saw Chloe walk in.

“Chloe! What are you doing here so early?”

“The storm kept me up last night. I am in major need of caffeine.”

“Yeah, I know what you mean.”

“You look really tired. Did the storm keep you up, too?”

“No. I didn’t hear it at all. I’ve just been having weird dreams, that’s all.”

“Really? ‘Bout what?”

Lana hesitated to answer. “It’s nothing.” Lana looked down at her watch. “Oh. I’m going to be late. I’ll talk to you later.”

“Wait! Where are you going?” Chloe looked at what Lana was wearing, which was something she hadn’t worn for a while. “Hey, you’ve got your riding boots on.”

“Yeah. Clark and I are going riding today.”

“Speaking of Clark. When are you going to tell everyone that you are back together?”

“Shhh!” Lana looked around to see if anyone heard. Lana grabbed Chloe by the arm and sat down at a table in the corner, where no one could hear them. “Not yet. We haven’t even told his parents yet.”

“Well, you better come out soon. Ever since he carried you up those stairs, everyone has been asking me if you’re a couple.”

“What have you been telling them?”

“I told them that as far as I know, you guys are just friends.”

Lana sighed with relief. “Thanks, Chloe.”

“No problem. So…” Chloe looked around to make sure no one could hear her. “How is it going?”

Lana’s face grew into a big smile.

“That good, huh?”

“Well…Yesterday was the first time we saw each other since…that night.”

“Oh, yes. The night I had to practically push you into that barn to talk to him.”

“Yeah. Ever since then, I can’t stop thinking about him. And when I’m with him, I can’t keep my hands off him. Oh, God…And the way he kisses me!” she said all flustered.

“O.K., O.K. Down, girl! You better stop or else I’ll have to douse you with a glass of ice water. Besides, didn’t you say you were going to be late?”

“Oh, yeah. Thanks.” Lana jumped up from her chair. “I’ll talk to you later. Bye.”

“Lana, wait!”

“What?”

“Aren’t you forgetting something?”

“Huh?”

Chloe eyed the coffee and croissant still on the table. Lana quickly grabbed them.

“Thanks. I guess my mind was a little pre-occupied.” Lana headed to the door.

“Obviously. See ya!...And don’t forget your horse!” Chloe called out to her. Lana turned around and rolled her eyes at her.

Lana headed over to the stables where she kept Donatello and got him saddled up. Then, she headed over to the Kent farm. She entered the barn to where the horses were, fully expecting Clark’s horse to be saddled and ready to go, but he was still in the pen. She dismounted Donatello and tied him up. She walked over to Clark’s horse and rubbed his muzzle.

“Hey, boy. You ready to go for a run today? Yeah. Me, too. We just have to find Clark.”

Just then, Jonathan Kent came in the barn.

“Good morning, Lana. We didn’t see you come in.”

“Morning, Mr. Kent. It’s O.K. Actually, I just got here. I thought Clark would be all ready to go.”

“He’ll be here in a minute. So, where are you two going today?”

“We’ll probably just run around Baker’s Field and Chandler’s Field for a few hours.”

“Well, you two be careful. It rained quite a bit last night. Watch out for soft spots and mud holes.”

“We will, Mr. Kent.”

A moment later, Clark trotted into the barn. When he saw Lana, his eyes lit up. Lana heard him come in and turned around.

Lana placed her hands on her hips. “You’re late,” she teased.

“Hey, somebody let it slip to my mom that I know how to cook. I got stuck making breakfast this morning.”

“If I had known that, I would’ve skipped my croissant and come over earlier.” Lana smiled at him, and he smiled back.

Clark looked at his father, who was standing behind Lana, smiling. Clark reddened slightly and quickly looked away. Jonathan had been observing this little interaction ever since Clark walked in the barn.

“Ummm…I’m going to go get my horse saddled and then we can go.”

“O.K. I’ll be outside.” Lana grabbed Donatello’s reins and led him outside.

Clark proceeded to get his horse saddled up. His father walked over to him and handed him the blanket. Jonathan just looked at him, smiling the whole time.

“What?” Clark said annoyed.

“Nothing. It’s just good to see you smile again.”

“Dad…”

“It’s O.K., Clark. You don’t have to say anything. You better hurry up. You don’t want to keep that young lady waiting.” Jonathan chuckled and walked out of the barn.

Clark used his super-speed to finish getting his horse ready and led him outside to where Lana was waiting.

“Wow. That was quick. I thought it’d take you longer,” Lana remarked.

“Ummm…My dad helped…Ready to go?”

“Absolutely!”

The two mounted and trotted across the field. They chatted idly for a while. As soon as they crossed the hill on the far side of the field, Lana looked back to see if they were out of sight of the house.

“What are you looking at?” Clark asked her.

“Just checking something. Clark, I almost forgot to give you something this morning.”

Clark stopped his horse. “Oh, yeah? What is it?”

Lana maneuvered her horse as close as she could to him.

“This.” Lana grabbed Clark by the lapels of his jacket and pulled him in for a kiss. They broke apart when the horses moved.

“I’ve been wanting to do that all morning,” she said breathlessly.

“Uh-huh,” Clark said, still in a daze.

Lana giggled at him. “Come on, Clark. Let’s go.”

They rode off into the woods and headed towards Chandler’s Field. They rode around for a couple hours, talking about college, Clark’s new job, and their friends. Before they knew it, they were in Baker’s Field. They headed towards a large maple tree in the middle of the field. The two dismounted and gave their horses a bit of a rest.

“Clark, this is a great tree. I bet we could climb almost to the top.”

Clark looked up to the tree. “Ahhh…You go ahead. I’ll stay right here.”

Lana reached over to him and held his hand. She pulled him closer to the tree, and looked up into his eyes. “Don’t tell me you’re afraid of heights.”

“No. Of course not!…It’s the falling and hitting the ground that doesn’t appeal to me.”

Lana smiled at him. She looked around and found a place to sit.

“Come here, Clark. Sit down.”

She pulled him down to the ground and they sat under the tree. She snuggled up next to him and he put his arm around her. They sat there in silence, gazing across the field. After a few minutes, Lana sat up and looked him in the eye.

“So, you gonna tell me why?”

“Why?”

“Yeah. Why are you afraid of heights? What happened?”

“You remember Greg Arkin?”

Lana’s demeanor changed. “How could I forget? He turned me into a human cocoon.”

“When Pete, Greg and I were about six years old we used to play in this treehouse. One day we wanted to see who was the bravest, so we had a contest on who could go out on the tree limbs the farthest. Greg went first. He went about half-way. Then Pete went and got a little farther. Then it was my turn…”

“And, of course you had to go the farthest.”

“Well…Yeah.” Lana looked at him sternly. “Hey, I admit it. We were stupid. Anyway, I got past Pete’s spot, but I just had to go farther. Before I knew it, the limb snapped and I fell to the ground.”

“Clark! That had to have been at least 30 feet!”

“Yeah, it’s amazing I didn’t break anything. I was pretty bruised up, though. I remember that was the loudest I cried in my life. I bet Pete thought I was dying. I never saw him run so fast to get my mom.”

“Your mother must’ve just freaked out!”

“I think she was more relieved that I was O.K. Anyway, now I tend to stay away from anything high. Years later when we were remembering this, do you know what Pete said?” Lana shook her head. “He said he didn’t know kids could bounce that high.” Lana and Clark couldn’t hold back their laughter at that remark.

Lana thought for a moment. “What about the time you took me up to the top of the windmill? You seemed all right then.”

“Are you kidding? I was freaking out! I thought for sure you’d hear my heart pounding. I just hide fear really well…You won’t tell anyone, will you?”

“What…That the big championship quarterback is afraid of heights? Never. My lips are sealed. You know, I kinda like this honest Clark Kent.” She leaned in and gave him soft kiss. Clark smiled at her.

“Well…I also got this thing about peas…” he said slyly, raising his eyebrows up and down.

Chapter 5




“Are you trying to get another kiss out of me, Mr. Kent?”

“Maybe.”

“Well, then…” Lana moved herself up onto her knees and began to kiss him again. Clark wrapped his arms around her and moved her into his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck. Just when things were about to get interesting, something nudged Lana in the shoulder. She knew what it was. Lana took one of her arms off of Clark and pushed it away. However when she wouldn’t stop kissing Clark, it nudged her again….and again.

“Donatello!”

“I think he’s jealous. He’s probably wondering why you took him riding if you’re going to spend all your time with some guy.”

“Great. Instead of having an overprotective brother, I have an overprotective horse.”

Donatello nudged her cheek. Lana couldn’t help but smile and rubbed his muzzle.

“All right, all right. I love you too.”

“Come on. We better get going. We don’t want to disappoint Donatello.” With that, Clark lifted Lana off him.

“I agree. Let’s give these horses a good run. I’ll race you to Chandler’s Field!” Lana quickly mounted Donatello and took off, leaving Clark standing under the tree.

“Hey!”

Lana stopped her horse and turned around. “Hurry up, Clark! You gonna let me get away?”

Clark ran over to his horse and got on. He then took off after her. When Lana saw him coming, she took off again. Clark urged his horse to go faster. Lana turned around and saw he was catching up. She took a sharp turn to the right to throw him off, but Clark stayed right behind her. She swerved again, but he stayed with her. Then she saw it…the fence surrounding Chandler’s Field. Lana sped up her horse and headed straight towards the fence. With perfect form, Donatello jumped the fence and fortunately missed the large mud hole on the other side. Lana turned around just in time to see Clark and his horse attempt to jump…keyword ‘attempt.’ Clark’s horse stopped short of the fence…Unfortunately, Clark didn’t. He flew over the top rail and landed right in the mud with a thud.

“Ooof!”

Lana started laughing. She rode back to where Clark was lying. As she got closer, she saw he wasn’t moving. She stopped laughing. She quickly dismounted and ran over to him.

“Clark? Clark! Can you hear me?” Lana knelt down next to him and placed her hand on his face. “Clark, wake up.” She shook him by the shoulders. “Oh, God. Clark? Clark?” She felt something touch her arm, and before she knew it, she was lying flat in the mud. She looked up and saw Clark sitting, laughing.

“Oh…You are so gonna get it!” Lana threw a handful of mud and hit him right in the face.

Clark fired back with his own handful. Lana screamed and giggled. They continued slinging mud at each other for a minute before Lana pounced on him. Before they knew it she was on top of him shoving handfuls of mud down the front of his shirt. When they realized the ‘interesting’ position they were in, they both stopped laughing and looked at each other. Lana felt herself starting to get a little warm. She couldn’t tear her eyes away from his. There was such heat in them and she swore that for a split second she saw his eyes change color. Clark reached up and placed his hand behind her neck. He pulled her down until their lips connected. They picked up right where they had left off under that tree. He peeled back the collar of her jacket and found one spot that wasn’t covered in mud. His lips left hers and began to kiss the spot on her neck. Lana arched her back and reared her head back at the sensation. Her breaths became rasping. Soon, she could feel his hands on the skin of her back. This sent shivers up her spine.

She couldn’t keep her hands off him either. She had to get her hands on that bare skin of his. She removed her hands from his neck and quickly went to work on his shirt buttons. She was only able get three of the buttons undone due to the hindrance of her cast, but it was enough. She placed her hands on his chest and slowly moved them up to his shoulders and around to his back. She could feel every muscle tense where she touched. Her hands moved back to his chest and she leaned back a bit. Clark broke contact with her neck and went back to her lips. Lana heard a low moan.

“Did you hear that?” Clark asked in between kisses.

“Hear what?” Lana continued to kiss him. Clark heard another moan.

“That.”

“I thought that was you.”

Lana and Clark stopped and opened their eyes. There was Donatello, standing over them, watching. They burst into laughter.

“Come on.” Lana got off Clark and held out her hand to help him to his feet. “Let’s get back before your parents send out a search party.”

Clark looked at himself and then Lana. “One look at us and I think my parents are definitely going to have some questions.”

I loved that update! Yea for mudfights! You definitely have a talent for writing some excellent Clana moments!! I can't wait for your next update.

From personal experience, I'll have you know that mudfights are NOT great (the last one I was in, I took a mudball to the eye and had to go to the hospital), but getting to make out with Lana at the end of my fight would have changed my mind. ;)

Chapter 6



Jonathan and Martha were in the kitchen when they heard laughter coming from the barn. Jonathan stepped outside and saw them coming towards the house.

“Sweetheart, the kids are back.” As they got closer, Jonathan got a good look at them. “Martha, you better get out here.”

Martha came out and joined her husband at the bottom of the porch stairs. Martha’s eyes opened wide and her mouth gaped open. She barely recognized them. They were covered from head to toe with caked-on mud. Clark and Lana stopped laughing when they saw his parents. They continued to walk to the porch. They walked past his parents, avoiding eye contact. Clark cleared his throat.

“Dad…Mom.”

“Mr. Kent…Mrs. Kent.”

The Kents stared at them as they walked by, taking in their appearance. Clark reached out to open the screen door.

“Hold it!” yelled Martha.

Lana and Clark stopped and slowly turned around. They looked like two kids caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Nobody said anything for several uncomfortable moments. All they got was a parental glare. Then, Clark spoke up.

“Ummm…She started it.” He pointed at Lana.

“Me?!”

“I don’t want to hear it. Neither of you are going into that house like that. Stay here.” Martha walked past them and into the house. She came back out with two blankets.

“Jonathan, here’s a blanket. Take Clark around the corner. Have him take his muddy clothes off. I’ll help Lana.”

“Come on, son. I’m sure Lana doesn’t want to see the Spongebob boxers.”

“Dad!” Clark turned bright red and Lana tried to hold back her laughter. Martha watched them turn the corner.

“And have him face the other direction,” Martha called out to them. Lana thought this was an odd request. All Clark could do was roll his eyes.

“Dad, just because the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen is taking her clothes off right now, doesn’t mean I’m going to use my abilities to see through the house and watch.”

“I know that…Turn around anyway.” Clark reluctantly turned around and started to take off his clothes.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the porch, Lana kicked off her boots and was working on her jeans. Martha had already helped her peel off her jacket. She held up the blanket as a shield in case one of the men came around the corner. Lana had turned her back to her while she undressed. She peeled her shirt off, which the mud had glued to her body. When she finally got the shirt off, Martha was appalled. There on her lower back were two very large, very distinct muddy handprints. She just shook her head. Lana was down to her bra and panties, which fortunately, Clark didn’t get any mud on. Martha wrapped her in the blanket.

“O.K., boys. You can come back.”

Jonathan came around the corner, followed meekly by Clark wrapped in the other blanket.

“Clark, you wait out here. Lana, come with me.”

Lana looked at Clark and then followed Martha into the house. She led her upstairs to the bathroom.

“You can clean up in here. There are towels and washcloths in the cabinet, and the soap and shampoo are already in the shower.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Kent.”

“Wait here for a minute. I’ll find some clothes for you to wear while I wash yours.”

“Mrs. Kent, you don’t have to do that…really.”

“Yes, I do. Besides, I have a feeling that my son is responsible for your appearance.” Martha smiled and Lana smiled back. “I’ll be right back.”

Martha came back a few minutes later with some folded clothes and a plastic bag to cover her cast.

“Here you go. I hope the clothes fit.”

Lana took them from her and unfolded them. She held up the pair of jeans to herself. They looked like they would fit her perfectly except for the length. The ‘No Doubt’ T-shirt and button down flannel shirt looked like they’d fit her too.

“Who’s are these?” she asked.

“Clark’s got a younger cousin, so we kept a few of Clark’s old clothes for him to wear whenever he came to visit. Clark wore these in junior high, before the growth spurt.”

Lana looked at the clothes again.

“He must’ve looked like a stick with legs!”

Martha laughed. “He was pretty skinny. Jonathan and I used to call him ‘Beanpole’. He hated that.”

Lana giggled. “I’ll have to remember that.”

“I’ll leave you to clean up. Let me know if you need anything.”

“I will, Mrs. Kent. Thank you.”

Lana went into the bathroom and closed the door. She started the shower, and while she waited for the water to warm up, she wrapped her cast. She knew the shower was hot when she saw steam billowing from behind the curtain. Lana dropped the blanket and was about to take off her underclothes when she caught a glimpse of her back in the mirror. Then she saw them…the handprints. Lana gasped and clasped her hands over her mouth.

“Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod!” Lana was so embarrassed. “She knows.” Lana knew she had to talk to Clark right away. She quickly took a shower and got dressed. Fortunately, Clark’s parents weren’t in the kitchen, so she didn’t need to worry about an embarrassing confrontation. Lana found Clark sitting on the porch swing with the blanket still wrapped around him. He was looking down, seemingly in deep thought. She walked up to him. He caught her out of the corner of his eye. He smiled when he saw them…Ten pink little toes peeking out from under the rolled up cuffs of jeans. He raised his eyes to take in the full image of her. He let out a small chuckle.

“I always wondered what happened to that shirt. What is it with you and wearing my clothes?”

Lana sat next to him on the porch swing. “Why? You want it back? I’m sure it’ll go great with your Spongebob boxers,” she teased.

“Hey, my mom got them for me for Christmas.”

“Really? Can I see?” She tried to open up his blanket to take a look.

“Hey! Stop it!” He tightened his grip on the blanket. Lana just giggled.

“Clark, I think we should tell your parents.”

“What…That you’re dying to see me in my underwear?”

Lana slapped him on the shoulder. “No. That we’re together.”

“Why? I thought we decided to wait.”

“Well, I’m pretty sure your mom knows already.”

“How? It’s not like we did anything in front of them.”

“You kind of left a mark on me.”

“What?”

“When I was in the bathroom, I caught myself in the mirror. There were a couple of handprints on my back.”

“Oh, no.” Clark leaned forward and placed his head in his hands, which opened up his blanket a bit. Lana reached over and opened it up by his chest.

“And I’m pretty sure your dad saw these.” She placed her hand over one of her own muddy handprints on his chest. He looked down and blushed slightly. He took her hand in his.

“O.K. We’ll tell them after I get cleaned up. I just hope they don’t accuse you of robbing the cradle,” he teased.

“Shut up! I’m only eight months older than you. Now, get in there and get cleaned up.” Clark laughed and headed for the door.

“I’ll be back in a half hour.”

“I’ll wait for you right here…Beanpole.”

Clark stopped. All he could do was shake his head.

“I thought I could go the rest of my life without hearing that name. This has to be the most embarrassing day of my life!”

Lana just laughed at him as he entered the house to get cleaned up.

Clark came back a half an hour later and found Lana sitting sideways on the porch swing with her eyes closed. She had her elbow propped up on the back of the swing and her head rested on her hand. He sat down next to her, but she didn’t move. He thought back to two weeks prior and remembered how she had woken him up. Clark looked in the window to make sure his parents weren’t watching. Then, he leaned over and gave her a kiss. When he pulled back, her eyes were still closed, but there was a small smile on her lips.

“Mmmm…Brad, you know what that does to me.”

“Brad?!”

She opened one eye and looked at Clark. She gave him a sly grin.

“Very funny…You ready? My parents are inside.”

Lana took in a deep breath and let it out. “It’s now or never.”

The two got off the porch swing and went inside.

“Mom…Dad? Ummm…Can we talk to you for a second?”

The Kents walked into the kitchen.

“Sure, Clark. What is it?” his father asked.

“Lana and I have something to tell you.” Clark shifted nervously on his feet. He looked at Lana and then his parents. “Lana and I…well, we’re kind of…”

“Together?” his mother finished.

Clark and Lana looked at each other puzzled.

“How did you know?” Lana asked.

“Do you think we’re blind? We’ve been suspecting something for a few weeks now, and when I saw those prints on Lana’s back, well…”

Both Lana and Clark’s faces reddened.

“Ummm…Nothing happened.”

“We know that, son. But you two are adults. You are responsible for making your own decisions and you have to accept the consequences. That being said, we still have house rules, and Clark knows what they are. Right, Clark?”

“Yes, sir.”

“And I’m sure you will explain them to Lana later,” Martha added.

“Yes, ma’am.”

“I’m too young to become a grandmother, Clark.”

“Oh, my God,” they said in unison, totally embarrassed.

“Now, we just have one more thing to tell you.”

Clark and Lana lowered their heads humbly and looked at the floor. Jonathan looked at his wife, who smiled at him.

“It’s about damn time!” Jonathan exclaimed.

They raised their heads and looked at each other with surprise. They then looked at his parents, who had huge smiles on their faces. Martha walked over to them and gave them both a big hug. Just then, they heard thunder in the background. Jonathan looked outside and saw the clouds rolling in.

“Looks like more rain, but the crops sure could use it.”

“I better bring Donatello back to the stables before the rain starts.”

“What about your clothes?” Clark asked her.

“Well, why don’t you stop by the Talon later and bring them along…That is, if your parents don’t mind.” She looked to the Kents.

“Fine with us,” Jonathan replied.

“Great! I’ll see you later.” Lana stood on her toes and gave Clark a peck on the cheek. She didn’t want to show too much affection in front of his parents. Clark watched her go out the door with a bounce in her step. He turned around and saw his parents smiling.

“Ummm…We’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t tell anyone about us.”

“Why’s that, sweetie?” Martha asked.

“We just want to avoid any flack from everyone as long as possible…You know, since our previous relationship was so short.”

“Sure, honey. We understand.”

“Great. Thanks. I’ll be upstairs for a while.”

Martha and Jonathan watched him go up the stairs.

“So, do you think we embarrassed them enough today?” Martha asked her husband.

“God, I hope so. You know, there are some perks to being a parent. This was fun. We should do it again,” Jonathan joked.

“You know, I can hear you guys up here,” Clark called from upstairs.

Jonathan and Martha just snickered.

It has Clark, Jonathan and Martha in it.

Chapter 7



Lana dropped Donatello off at the stables and made it home just before the rain started. She made herself a light lunch and sat down to eat. She looked down at her attire and touched the sleeve of the flannel shirt.

“I have to admit, Clark does know comfortable clothes.”

She finished her lunch and decided to read a book while she waited for Clark. Lana searched her bookshelf for something to read. Her eyes fell upon a collection of love poems. She took it into her bedroom and found a comfortable position on her bed. She listened to the rhythm of the rain as it hit the window. A short time later, Lana had drifted off to sleep.



“Naman,” Leotie repeated.

He nodded with approval, and she smiled at him. She said it slightly different than how they pronounce it where he came from, but he liked it. It sounded more melodic when it came from her.

He stared at her for a moment and realized she was the same girl he encountered in the field. She noticed him staring at her and she felt her face redden. He observed this and thought it strange. He had never seen that before. He looked around the interior of the shelter. There were so many unusual items. He picked up an object and looked to Leotie to tell him what it was.

“Bowl,” she said.

“Bowl,” Naman responded. He picked up another object and Leotie said its name.

“Blanket.”

“Blanket,” he repeated. He felt the texture of the blanket. He picked up all the objects around him and Leotie said the names. He memorized each. When he was done with the objects on the floor, he looked up. Hanging from a support post was what appeared to be some kind of animal. Leotie saw what he was looking at.

“Bird,” she said.

“Bird.” Naman stood up to touch it, but the blanket that was covering him fell to the ground. Leotie gasped and averted her eyes. Naman looked down and saw she was looking away. Her face had become flushed again.

“Ummm…” Leotie quickly crawled to the other side of the room and picked out an extra pair of her father’s clothes for Naman to wear. “You probably want something to wear.” She stood up and walked over to him, still looking at the ground. She handed him the clothes and he took them from her. She sat down on the other side of the room. It was then that he realized she was uncomfortable with his nakedness. He thought this curious. He put on the clothes, feeling the texture of the material on his skin. He looked back at Leotie, who was still looking away. He sat next to her and moved to be in her line of sight, but she avoided his eyes. He saw that her cheeks were still flushed. He reached out and touched her cheek with his hand. It was warm. Leotie was startled at the action and jumped back a bit.

“Wh-What are you doing?”

He stared at her. She looked into his eyes. For some reason, she knew he would not harm her. Naman still had his hand extended. She cautiously inched forward until her cheek came back into contact with his hand. He stroked her cheek with his thumb and felt the smoothness of her skin. He then used his forefinger to follow the contour of her small nose. He studied her features carefully. His finger traveled up to her forehead and he felt the texture of her dark hair. It was different than his own. Hers was straight instead of wavy, but very smooth. Naman brought his hand back to the side of her face. He leaned in to study her wide eyes. Leotie began to breathe more rapidly. He was so close to her. He stared into her eyes, and discovered that they were actually a kaleidoscope of several colors…Greens mixed with browns and little specks of black. He had never seen those colors in irises before. Everyone in his world has light-colored eyes. When he was finished, he removed his hand and sat back.

Leotie was curious, too. She scooted closer to him sat on her knees. She raised her hand, and came close to his face, but did not touch. He saw that she was hesitant, so he moved until her hand touched his face. She felt the sharpness of his high cheekbones. She traced his jawline. With her thumb, she felt the small cleft in his chin. Her fingers brushed against his lips and touched his nose. She followed the arc of his nose up to his brow. She brushed the hair off his forehead and took a lock in her fingers. Although she already felt his hair, she couldn’t get over how soft it was.

Leotie looked down and saw that he had been watching her the entire time. His face showed no expression of emotion, which she found odd. She kept her fingers in his hair until…

“Leotie!” her father yelled as he entered. “Get away from him!”

Leotie retreated her hand and jumped back. Her father ran over to her and placed his hands on her upper arms.

“Did he hurt you?” He looked her over to be sure.

“No, Father. I’m fine. He didn’t do anything. Why are you so worried?”

“Leotie, listen to me. We know nothing about him. He could be dangerous.”

“Father, he’s not dangerous.”

“How do you know?”

“I just do.”

“How can you be sure? I saw his wounds heal. We do not know what else he can do.”

“He wouldn’t hurt me. I would have died in that field if he hadn’t been there to protect me. He saved me. That’s how I know he’s not dangerous.”

Naman studied the older man ever since he entered. His clothing was similar to Leotie’s. His hair was also dark and straight, with a few streaks of gray. He studied their interaction, and based on his observations, he knew the older man was Leotie’s father. He listened intently to every word of their conversation, attempting to understand the language.

“Father, what did you say to the elders?”

“I told them everything. About the fire in the sky, how you found him, the explosion…”

“And his ability to heal?”

“Yes. They want to see him with their own eyes. The elders believe he is a sign of something to come. Whether it is good or evil, they do not know.”

Just then, the group of five elders entered. Naman immediately stood up. The elders gasped when they saw him. He towered over them. Leotie walked around her father and stood next to Naman.

“Don’t be afraid of him. He won’t hurt you.” Leotie grabbed his hand and led him closer to the elders.

“He’s a man…just like you.”

“He is not like us,” one of the elders said. “We have heard what he is capable of.”

“So, you know that he saved my life.”

“Yes,” another elder replied. “But we agree that he cannot stay with us.”

“What?! We can’t throw him out! Where would he go? Father, please…We have to let him stay. He wouldn’t hurt anybody.”

Leotie’s father looked at his daughter’s pleading eyes and relented.

“She is right. He has saved my daughter’s life. He has not shown any signs of being dangerous. We should let him stay.”

The elders conferred for a bit. All the while, Naman listened.

“We have discussed this matter. The stranger may stay…for now. However, he is your responsibility. The stranger will stay with you and your daughter.”

“Well, then, since he can stay, you should call him by his name,” Leotie stated.

“And what is his name?” Leotie’s father asked.

Naman understood the question the old man asked and answered. “Nam-An.”



A few hours had passed since Lana left the Kent farm. It was still raining, but Lana’s clothes were dry. Clark picked them up off the kitchen table.

“Mom, I’m gonna bring Lana her clothes. I’ll be back later.”

Martha came from around the corner.

“O.K., sweetie. We’ll see you later. Oh! Ask Lana if she’d like to join us for dinner.”

“Sure thing. Bye.”

Clark arrived at Lana’s apartment and knocked on the door. There was no answer. He knocked again. He knew she had to be in there since she was expecting him. He found the door was not locked, so he opened it. He poked his head in.

“Lana? You here?” But he didn’t get a response. He wandered farther into the apartment and closed the door behind him. She wasn’t in the living room or kitchen. He checked the bathroom, but no Lana. He wasn’t sure if he should, but he entered her bedroom. He found her on the bed asleep, still wearing his clothes. She was on her side all curled up with a book next to her. Clark stared at her. He thought he had never seen anything so lovely. He walked over to the side of the bed and crouched down. He brushed the hair away from her face, but she didn’t stir. He looked behind her and found the book of poetry on the bed. She started to make those noises in her sleep, which he discovered a few weeks ago. By the look on her face and the movement of her eyes under her lids, he knew she was dreaming.

He got up and walked to the other side of the bed. He sat down on the other side of her. Clark saw her small bare feet poking out from the long pantleg. ‘I wonder if she’s ticklish.’ He reached down and stroked a finger down the bottom of one of her feet. He saw her toes curl in response. He did it again. This time she pulled her feet away and rolled over, still not aware he was there. She wrapped her arm around his waist and draped her leg over his. Clark watched her as she fell back into a dream-state. He knew she hadn’t been sleeping well for the past couple days, so he decided he’d let her sleep. He located her extra pillow and placed it behind him. Then, he leaned back and got comfortable. He placed one hand on her back and the other on the arm that laid across his stomach. He watched her sleep for a while before he dozed off himself.

O.K. Now that I got that out of my system, here's the update. Has anybody gone into sugar-shock yet?



Chapter 8



Lana started to wake up from her dream and realized that she wasn’t lying on her bed. She cracked her eyes open and immediately saw blue plaid. She smiled when she realized it was Clark she was lying on. She took in a deep breath and smelled his familiar scent. Lana tightened her arms around him. It was then that she felt him stir a bit. She knew he was awake.

“So, does this break the house rules?” she asked.

“No…But it bends them a bit.”

Lana turned her head and placed her chin on his chest.

“How are you feeling?” he asked.

“Mmmm…Better now that you’re here.” He smiled down at her and she smiled back. Clark looked over at the clock.

“Oh, we gotta go.”

“We?”

“Yeah. My mom wants you to join us for dinner.”

“Really? That’s so sweet. You know, Clark, your mom is the best!” Lana looked down at herself. “Ooh, I gotta change.” She gave him a quick kiss and rolled off him. She bounced over to her dresser and pulled out a change of clothes. She removed the flannel shirt and began to lift up the T-shirt. She lifted it about halfway when she looked in the mirror and saw Clark…still on the bed…just watching her with wide eyes.

“Enjoying the view?”

“Ahhh…Ummm…”

Lana walked over to the bed and pulled him up by the hand. She led him to the door and pushed him out of the room.

“Come on…Out.”

“But…But…”

“Hey, I didn’t get to see Spongebob, so you don’t get to see ‘Bikini Bottom’…at least not yet.”

Clark turned around at that remark and saw her flirtatious look, right before she closed the door on him. He just stood there for a moment, as a big grin grew across his face.

Later, at the Kent household…

“Mr. and Mrs. Kent, I have to thank you for another wonderful meal.”

“Thank you, Lana. Are you ready for dessert?”

“Oh, no. Not yet. If I eat any more, I’ll have to put Clark’s pants back on,” she said as she patted her stomach.

“Yeah, Mom…Maybe we’ll have some later.”

“O.K. Well, why don’t you two go for a walk and work off dinner?”

Lana glanced over at Clark. “Sounds good to me. Come on, Clark.”

The two got up and put their dishes on the counter. Clark opened up the screen door and let Lana go out ahead of him.

“We’ll be back in about an hour, Mom and Dad.”

“See you later, you two,” Jonathan called out to them.

Lana and Clark trotted down the steps of the porch. At the bottom, they instinctively held hands and laced their fingers together. They headed down the driveway and out to the road. They walked for a distance, not saying anything, just looking at each other. Then, Lana spoke.

“You know, Clark, I envy you.”

“You envy me? Why?”

“You live on this beautiful farm…You have the perfect parents…A perfect home…”

Clark wrapped his arms around her waist. “Don’t forget the perfect girlfriend.”

“Clark, I’m serious.”

“So am I. What’s this all about, Lana?”

“I’ve been on my own for a few years now and the past couple of days, your parents have invited me into your home. They made me feel like part of your family, and I haven’t had that in a really long time. I really miss that.” Lana started to tear up.

“Lana, you are part of the family. My parents are crazy about you.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. How could they not be?”

“Well, I’m crazy about them, too…And their son’s not too bad, either. Seems like he always knows the right thing to say.”

“Sounds like a great guy.”

“He is.” Clark bent down and gave her a kiss.

“Clark, will you promise me something?” She looked up at him.

“Anything.”

“Promise me that no matter what happens or no matter where we go, we will always be friends.”

“I promise. I have a feeling that we’ll be friends for a very, very, very long time.”

Lana snaked her arms around him and rested her head on his chest. In response, he wrapped his arms around her and held her tight.

“Thank you, Clark.”

“For what?”

“For listening…For understanding.”

“Sure.”

Lana paused and closed her eyes. “I just realized another reason why I love you.”

“Oh? What’s that?”

“You give really good hugs.”

She felt him give a small laugh.

“Come on.” He rubbed his hands up and down her upper arms. “Let’s head back before it gets too dark.”

By the time they got back, the sun had already set. They joined the elder Kents at the table for dessert and coffee.

“Well, it’s getting late, and I’ve got an early day tomorrow,” Jonathan said. “Clark, don’t keep this young lady up too late.”

“I won’t, Dad. Good-night.”

“Good-night, Mr. Kent.”

Martha remained at the table, not showing any sign she was going to join her husband upstairs. Clark and Lana started to look a little uncomfortable as Martha just gazed at the two. Jonathan noticed this and knew he had to get his wife upstairs.

“Coming, Sweetheart?”

“Huh?…Oh, yes. I just have to take care of these dishes.”

“Ummm… Clark and I can take care of them. It’s the least we can do after the great meal you made tonight.”

“Yeah, Mom. We’ll do the dishes. Go ahead and go to bed.”

“No…I can do them quick.”

“Sweetheart, the kids said they’d take care of it. Come on. Let’s go upstairs.”

“Oh…All right.” Martha got up out of her chair. “Thanks you two. Good-night, Sweetie.” Martha bent down and gave her son a peck on the cheek.

“Good-night, Mom.”

She did the same to Lana. “Good-night, Lana.”

“Good-night, Mrs. Kent.”

Jonathan followed his wife up the stairs and turned around to look at Clark.

‘Thank you,’ Clark mouthed to him. Jonathan nodded in response and then disappeared upstairs.

Lana and Clark cleared the dishes and sat back down at the table. She placed her elbows on the table and leaned closer to Clark. “So, what should we do now?”

“Lana, my parents are right upstairs.”

“Ah, yes, the house rules. Well, we could stick in a movie and veg-out on the couch. That’s not against the rules, is it?”

“Nope.”

They got up and headed to the living room. Lana picked out a movie and stuck it in the DVD player while Clark laid on the couch. Lana turned off the lights and joined him. They moved around a bit until they found a comfortable position and watched the movie.

A few hours later, Jonathan woke up. He headed to the bathroom to get a drink of water and noticed that Clark’s bedroom door was open. He peeked his head inside, but Clark was not there. He could hear the faint murmur of voices coming from downstairs. He headed down

When he got to the living room, he saw the top of Clark’s head resting on the arm of the couch. The television was still on, which gave off the only light in the room. Jonathan walked over to wake him up to go to bed, but as he got closer, he could see over the back of the couch. Clark was not alone. Lana was laying on top of him with her head on his chest. Both were sound asleep. Jonathan smiled at the content look on his son’s face. He leaned over and shook his shoulder.

“Clark,” he whispered. “Clark, wake up.”

“Hmmm?” Clark opened his eyes lazily. He looked up and saw his father looking down at him. Clark looked down and saw Lana on top of him. Suddenly, his cheeks became flushed and his eyes grew to twice their size.

“Ahhh…Dad…Ummm…”

“It’s O.K., Clark. Why don’t you bring her upstairs. I’ll make up the couch for you. Careful not to wake her up.”

Clark lifted Lana off of himself and carried her up the stairs to his room. He gently laid her on the bed and pulled the covers over her. He gave her a soft kiss on her forehead before he left. He headed back downstairs, where his father waited.

“Sorry, Dad. I guess we fell asleep.”

“Did you get her tucked in?”

“Yeah. She didn’t wake up at all.”

“Heavy sleeper?”

“No, I don’t think so. She just hasn’t been sleeping well lately.”

“Why not?”

“She said she’s having weird dreams, but she won’t tell me about them.”

“Well, she looked like she was sleeping pretty well when I came down. Maybe the dreams stopped.”

“Yeah, maybe…Well, good-night, Dad.”

“Good-night, son. I’ll see you in the morning.”

Jonathan went back upstairs. Clark crawled under the blanket that Jonathan spread on the couch and fell back asleep.

Chapter 9 Part 1



“He knows our language?” the elder asked.

“Somewhat,” Leotie answered. “I’ve been teaching him a few words.”

“Then you shall continue teaching him. We must know where he comes from and why he is here…It is late. We shall discuss this more tomorrow.” With that, the elders left, leaving Leotie, her father and Naman alone.

“Leotie, it is late. Please make up a sleeping place for our ‘guest’.”

“Yes, Father.” Leotie proceeded to lay mats and blankets next to the fire in the middle of the room.

“Naman, you will sleep here.” Her father pointed to the spot. “Leotie, come. You shall sleep near me.” Leotie picked up her blankets and moved them closer to her father’s sleeping area, which was on the opposite side of the fire from Naman. Naman watched as they laid down to sleep. He looked down at his own sleeping area and crawled under the blankets. Leotie watched him as he laid his head down and closed his eyes. She faced the fire and curled up under her blankets. She closed her eyes, attempting to sleep, but sleep would not come. So much had happened today. Her mind just wouldn’t relax.

After a while of frustration, she opened her eyes. The fire had died down to embers, but it was still giving off some light. Leotie waited for her vision to adjust to the darkness, and was startled when she saw a pair of blue-green eyes staring back at her. Naman had been watching her attempt to sleep for some time. Although the room was dim, he could see her perfectly. He saw her toss and turn and then finally open her eyes. He noticed that she was startled when her eyes met his, but then they softened as he gazed into them. He saw her eyes flutter and her cheeks again turned a slight shade of pink. ‘Why does her face do that?’ he wondered.

Meanwhile, Leotie felt her face feel warm when she saw him staring back at her. ‘Well, at least it’s dark enough he can’t see me blushing,’ she thought. ‘How does he do this to me? I’ve known him for barely a day, and every time he looks at me, I feel feverish…He’s still looking at me…God, those eyes…Their so beautiful…hypnotic…’ Leotie couldn’t tear her eyes away from his. She just gazed into them until she felt herself become drowsy. She struggled to keep her eyes open, but eventually drifted off to sleep.

Naman watched as she struggled to stay awake, her eyes slowly closing and then quickly opening, until finally they closed for good. Sleep did not come to Naman easily. He stayed awake, staring at Leotie’s sleeping figure across the room. He could hear the rhythm of her breaths and could tell when she was completely asleep. He could also hear something else, but could not quite make it out. He listened more intently. It was also rhythmic…thump-thump…thump-thump…thump-thump… Naman didn’t know how, but he was listening to her heartbeat. He listened for a while until the rhythm put him to sleep.

All this had not gone unnoticed. Another pair of eyes had been silently watching the interaction. The eyes belonged to a concerned father, who knew that his only daughter had taken a liking to this man. Although there were three of them in the teepee, one of them would not getting much sleep tonight.

[Minnesotagirl]

Here's part 2.


Chapter 9 Part 2


Early the next morning, Leotie opened her eyes. She looked at her father, who’s eyes were closed, but he looked like he hadn’t slept at all. Then, she looked over to where Naman was, but he wasn’t there. Leotie sat up quickly and looked around. She started to get nervous. ‘Where is he?’ She ran outside. Nobody else was out yet. It was still early in the morning. The sun was just starting to rise. Leotie looked around until she found a lone figure on a grassy hill a ways behind the camp. She knew it was him. She ran as quickly as she could over to him. As she approached him, she could see that he was staring at the rising sunrise.

“Naman, what are you doing out here?”

He pointed to the sunrise. Leotie stood with him and watched the sunrise. She had seen sunrises before, but this time it was different. It seemed more beautiful this time. The reds and oranges seemed more vibrant, and they stretched to fill the sky.

“Like home,” he said.

“Like home? Where is home?” she asked.

“Far.”

“Naman, where are you from?”

Naman looked at her. “No. You…not ready.”

“What do you mean?”

Naman searched for the words, but he had not heard enough of their language to pick up the words to explain. Leotie saw him trying to think of the words.

“It’s o.k. You can tell me when you learn more words.”

As the sun peeked over the hill and lit up the countryside, Leotie saw Naman closed his eyes. It looked as if he was soaking up the sun’s rays that fell on his face. Last night he still looked very pale, even after the glowing green rock was removed from him and he healed. However, before her eyes, his face seemed to develop more color. He looked healthy.

Leotie could hear the bustling around of the people at the camp and knew she had to get them back. Her father would be waking soon and she didn’t want him to worry. Besides, she was feeling her stomach grumbling for breakfast.

“Naman? We have to get back. People will be wondering where we are.” She tugged on his arm to get his attention.

“Aren’t you hungry?” she asked.

“Hungry?”

“Yes. Don’t you want any food?” She made the eating motion of hand to mouth.

“Food? Yes.”

Naman walked with her back to camp. As the entered the village, she saw several people outside. Each of them suddenly stopped what they were doing and stared at the stranger with their mouths open. After they passed, the people started whispering about him. Apparently, word had gotten around about this stranger, but to see him up close was still shocking.

Leotie and Naman entered her tent, where they found her father awake, pacing frantically. When he saw them enter, he pulled her aside.

“Leotie! Where have you been?!”

“We were just outside. Father, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”

“You are my only child. I have a right to worry. If you mother were still alive…” Naman saw the expression in her father’s eyes change from concern to sadness…Leotie’s changed, also. Naman walked up to her father and placed his hand on his arm.

“Leotie…safe…with me.”

Her father brushed his hand away. “She is not your concern. She is my daughter. Do you understand? I do not know who or what you are. You are only here with us because the elders wish it.”

“Father! Don’t speak to him like that! Did you forget that he saved your only daughter’s life yesterday?”

“No…I did not forget…But how can I trust him with the most precious thing in my life?” He reached up and brushed her cheek.

“Then trust me…I have trust in him.”

“I’m sorry…But he has to earn my trust.” Leotie’s father left the tent before he said anything more that he would regret.

Leotie sat down next to her blanket and balled it up. She hit it with frustration. Angry at her father, hot, stinging tears came to her eyes. She tried to hold them back, but they soon ran down her cheeks. Naman was fascinated. He sat down next to her and touched one of her rolling tears with his finger. He pulled his hand back and rubbed the tear between his finger and thumb.

“Wet.”

“What...Don’t people cry where you come from?” she remarked.

“No.”

Leotie wiped the tears off her face. “No? Then what do you do when you are sad?”

“Nothing.”

“Nothing? What do you mean? Are you never sad? Don’t you feel anything? Wait, let me guess… You are from a place where everyone is eternally happy.”

“No…Emotions…deep…..” He tried to explain with the words that he knew, but he couldn’t.

“What does that mean?...O.K. When you know more you are going to have to explain because that made no sense.” There was a silence between them until Leotie remembered that they originally came back here to eat. “I guess we can at least eat to fill the gaps in conversation.” Leotie proceeded to gather fruits and dried meat to eat. She put some in a bowl and handed it to Naman. She made up a bowl for herself and also for her father, in case he returned.

Naman watched Leotie and she picked out a piece from her bowl and placed it in her mouth. He did the same. She watched him as he would smell each piece before eating it. When he placed it in his mouth he chewed slowly, determining if he liked it or not. By the look in his eyes, she knew he did. He quickly took out the next piece…and the next…until he had eaten it all.

“You like that, huh?”

“Yes.” He picked out the last piece of fruit. “Name?”

“That is called a strawberry…and this…” She picked a piece out of her bowl. “…is called a cranberry.”

“Strawberry…Cranberry.”

Leotie went to another storage area, where she had recently stored fruit that she picked a few days earlier. She took out two pieces of fruit.

“This is an apple…Here…take a bite.” She handed him the rosy apple. She took a bite out of hers to show him. He also took a bite..and another...and another. She smiled when she saw that he liked it.

"Well, I guess you like apples, too."

“Apple…”

Leotie spent the rest of the morning showing him some more things around the tent, teaching him her language. He surprised her in how fast he was picking up the language. Soon, she thought. Soon he will be able to tell us who he is.

Chapter 10



Clark awoke to the smell of freshly brewed coffee. He rolled over onto his back and popped his eyes open.

“Good morning, sleepyhead.”

“’Morning, Mom. Lana up yet?”

“Not yet. Why don’t you go and do your chores quick before she wakes up. Your father is already out there.”

“O.K., Mom. Be back in a few.”

With that, Clark sped out the door to the barn, where he met his father working on the tractor.

“Clark, it’s about time you got up. Hurry up with your chores. I need your help over here.” Jonathan had a wrench and was attempting to unscrew a bolt on the engine of the tractor.

“Sure, Dad.” Clark quickly mucked out the stalls, laid new straw, and fed the cows. He was done in a matter of minutes. He went over to where his father was.

“You’re slowin’ down, Clark,” his father teased.

“Hey, I just woke up. Gimme a break!”

Jonathan just laughed at him. “Come here. See if you can loosen that bolt.” Clark just took his fingers and twisted the bolt right out.

“Don’t strain yourself. Has your mother started breakfast yet?”

“Yeah. She started before I came out. It’ll probably be ready in a few minutes.”

“Well, I’m going to be a little bit longer. Why don’t you go on inside and let her know I’ll be there in five minutes.”

“Sure, Dad.”

Clark left his father working on the tractor and went in the house. His mother was in the kitchen setting the table.

“Dad said he’ll be here in five minutes. He’s working on the tractor.”

“O.K. Breakfast will be ready by then. Honey, can you go wake up Lana?”

“Sure, Mom.” Clark pulled a mug out of the cupboard and poured coffee into it. He also added sugar before heading upstairs. When he entered his bedroom, he saw Lana still sleeping. She was on her stomach, near the far side of the bed. Her arms were tucked under the pillow, on which her head faced away. Her hair was sprawled wildly around her. Clark walked over to the far side of the bed and crouched down. He placed the mug of coffee under her nose. He saw her breathing change when she took in a deep breath.

“Izzat coffee?” she mumbled with her eyes closed.

“Uh-huh.”

“Wif two sugars?”

“Yup.”

Lana opened her eyes lazily and smiled at Clark. “You know, you’re too good to be true.”

“I try.”

She grabbed the rungs of the headboard and stretched, arching her back. Clark thought she looked just like a cat. She rolled onto her back with her arms bent at the elbows, which placed her hands on either side of her head. Clark placed the mug of coffee on the nightstand and sat on the bed. Lana watched as he leaned down and kissed her. As they kissed, she pushed herself up into a sitting position and wrapped her arms around him.

“Hmmm…You are so much better than an alarm clock.” She moved in for another kiss but stopped short when they heard his mother.

“Clark! Lana! Breakfast will be ready in fifteen minutes!” Martha called from downstairs.

“We’ll be right down, Mom!” Clark took the mug off the nightstand and handed it to Lana. “I gotta get cleaned up. I’ll see you downstairs.”

“O.K.”

He gave her a quick kiss before heading to the bathroom. Lana took a sip of coffee and licked her lips.

“Mmmm…Perfect.”

Lana got out of bed and headed downstairs with her cup of coffee.

“Good morning, Lana.”

“’Morning, Mrs. Kent. Breakfast smells wonderful. Do you need help with anything?”

“No. We just need the guys to hurry up so we can eat.”

Lana sat down at the table and sipped her coffee. Martha sat down next to her. She saw the dark circles under her eyes.

“Sweetie, are you O.K.? You look really tired.”

“I’m fine. I just haven’t had a good night’s sleep for a few days. I keep having these dreams.”

“Do you know why?”

“At first I thought it was stress because of school, but they haven’t stopped. And they aren’t like recurring dreams, either…They seem like a continuing story…and they happen whenever I close my eyes.”

“Maybe if you tell me about them, we can figure out what’s going on.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Kent, but I don’t think I can talk about them when I can’t even make sense of them.”

“Well, when I was in college, I took a psychology class. One of the topics was about how our subconscious plays an active role in our dreams. One method of understanding the dreams is to write them down in a journal. It usually helps to understand what the dreams are telling you if you have them all written down.”

“I’ll try that. Thank you.”

Just then, Jonathan entered the house and Clark came down the stairs. They all sat around the table and enjoyed breakfast.

Clark drove Lana back to the Talon so she could change. Fortunately, it was early in the morning, and the Talon hadn’t opened yet, so there wasn’t anyone to see them together. Clark followed Lana into her apartment.

“I’m gonna take a bath. Make yourself at home.”

Clark watched her enter the bathroom and close the door behind her. Clark looked around to find something to do. He then heard something at her door. When he opened it up, he found the morning paper on the floor. He could hear the morning crew downstairs getting ready for the morning rush. Since the Talon always gets several newspapers, they always give Lana one as a courtesy. Clark closed the door and headed over to the couch, but not before turning on the stereo. He sat down on the couch and pulled out the sports page. As he was reading, he unknowingly was singing along to the radio.

Lana was soaking in the tub when she heard something coming from behind the door. She sat up and listened but couldn’t make it out. She got out of the tub and wrapped her satin robe around her. She also grabbed a towel for her hair. When she opened the door she saw that the paper was on the coffee table, but Clark wasn’t on the couch, and the stereo was on. Then she heard something in the kitchen. Lana came out of the bathroom fully and saw Clark with his head in the refrigerator, getting something to drink.

But he wasn’t just getting something to drink. He was singing along to the song on the radio and dancing a bit to it. Lana tried to stifle a laugh by placing the towel over her mouth. He didn’t know she was watching since his back was to her. She saw Clark’s head bop up and down to the beat as he pulled out a glass from the cupboard. It was when the song got to the chorus that he really got into it.


Hey ladies drop it down
Just want to see you touch the ground
Don't be shy girl go Bananza
Shake ya body like a bellydancer



Clark shook his hips as he poured the juice. Then, he danced back over to the fridge and put the juice back.

‘God! Who knew he could move like that?’ Lana thought to herself. Lana leaned up against the back of the couch as she watched him and decided she better make her presence known.

“If I had known you could move like that, Clark, I would have taken you salsa dancing a long time ago.”

Clark nearly jumped out of his skin he was so startled. He turned around quickly.

“Lana!…How long have you been there?”

“Long enough to see that you can do more than just slow dance…Why didn’t you ever tell me you could dance?”

“Ummm…” Clark turned beet red. “I don’t like to dance in front of people. I get too self-conscious, and then I look like someone being electrocuted.”

Lana walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“Probably for the best. Besides, if the girls saw you dancing like that, I’d have to fight them off of you with a stick,” she said with a little jealousy.

“Really? You’d fight for me?”

“Hell, yes! You are mine and I’m not sharing. Those other girls will just have to find some other guy to dance with.” Lana looked up at him and smiled, which he returned.

“I’m going to change.” She stood on her toes and gave him a quick kiss. She unwrapped her arms and headed to her bedroom.

“O.K.”

After she changed and came out, they spent a nice quiet day at her apartment. Around 5:00, Clark had to leave to do chores, which left Lana alone. Around 8:00, she decided that she was going to head to bed early and try to get a good night’s sleep. But, before heading to bed, she remembered Martha’s advice on writing down her dreams. She found a notebook and pen and placed it next to her bed, just in case.
