RUSH *The Non-Angsty Version*

[<Nimrod>]

Title - RUSH *The Non-Angsty Version*
Rating - Still in progress...but for now PG/PG-13
Disclaimer - A Clana fan's dream...but no I don't own anything
Summary - umm basically I'll be showing what the series would have probably been like if Clark and Lana went on there date as planned in 'Rush'. Pete and Chloe might not be the ones who get infected by the cave worm. They might, they might not. Or maybe it's...Lex? Martha? Lana?...Can the worms even affect Clark? And what's up with Pete? Can he fool everyone with his wild act or does one person see right through it? AND is Chloe backing off on Clark, and accepting his new status change with Lana, or will she just cause a little drama?


CH 1
RAVE IN A CAVE


Pete’s car pulls up near the caves entrance. Pete looks around with worry as he notices that there are a lot of other cars and then it finally hits him…

The rave is held in the cave?! Pete then began to think of what Clark’s reaction is going to be Hmm lets see, Clark has super-strength…so something will probably be broken by the time he hears “rave” and “cave” in the same sentence.

Pete and Chloe finally get out of the car.

Sounding upset and a little angered Pete simply says “I don’t believe this.”

Not taking notice that Pete is upset or angry Chloe just replies “I know. Isn’t it awesome? A rave in a cave.” Clever, I wonder how many horny teenagers it took to create that piece of art.

Now sounding more annoyed then upset “Why didn’t you tell me it was here?”

“I didn’t know. I just downloaded the directions from the internet.”

Pete knowing just how important the cave is to Clark is now really worried about what Clark will do when he finds out “Clark’s gonna go crazy.” I hope I’m not anywhere near him when he finds out, he can get scary now and then.

Curious, Chloe asks “What is his obsession with these caves?” Well Clark does find astronomy fun, so I guess it’s not that surprising that he finds some hundred year old caves interesting. He is a pretty big dork.

Knowing he can’t tell Chloe the real reason he plays dumb “I don’t know. I think Kyla really got to him.” Needing to warn Clark about this, Pete reaches for his phone. “I better give him a call, give him a heads-up.”

Chloe grabs Pete shoulder, getting his attention and says “These caves survived hundreds of years.” Now just looking forward in having some fun Chloe seals the deal with “I don’t think a little Moby’s gonna hurt them. Okay?” With her now leading the way into the cave says “Let’s go.” Chloe turns around, smiles at Pete and says “Come on” before being engulfed by the loud music, blasting from the cave.


CH 2
THE PAINTINGS


Lights flashing around the cave, in every direction. Tons of teenagers are dancing to the music that’s playing. Pete and Chloe squirm there way through the crowd. Spotting a couple sucking face right against a cave painting, Pete goes over to them, worried they’re messing up the painting.

“Excuse me.” The couple continues making out, oblivious of Pete’s nagging or even presence. Okay I can see that there mouths are occupied but there ears should be working. Determined to keep the painting safe, Pete tries once more. “Hey, excuse me.” Now seeing he got the couples attention “Can you please step off the walls. The paintings” Pete tries to explain, with the couple being the horny teenagers they are, the continue swapping spit.

Amused Chloe says “Pete, I really don’t think they care about the cave paintings.”

Pointing to the painting “Yeah, but, Chloe, these pictographs are sacred.” Explains Pete. We got to save these painting from these horny teenagers…whoa okay don’t hear that everyday…I’ve been hanging around Clark to much.

Now a little more understanding, Chloe walks back over to the couple. “I’m sorry, do you guys know that the clay doesn’t wash out of your clothes?” I just have a way with words. A little mad by this new piece of info, the couple walks away. Chloe turns back to Pete and is now smiling proud of her job well done “Just gotta hit them where it hurts.”

A little more relaxed now, Pete starts getting into the music playing and joins in on the party.

CH 3
FACE FIRST



Chloe’s dancing, when out of nowhere her chem.-lab partner, Travis, comes up to her and lands a huge kiss on her lips. Very confused by Travis’ actions, Chloe breaks the kiss.

“Travis, what are you doing?” It would be wrong to say I liked it, but it would also be wrong if I slapped his head off…lets see what he has to say for himself before I start hitting people.

Travis calmly responds with “Taking my shot. I always thought you were hot.” She’s so hot…I hope she doesn’t slap me.

Not really knowing how to respond to that, Chloe just thinks of the first thing that comes to mind “I think you’re kind of wasted.” Wow I think I just insulted myself…saying a guy has to be drunk to think I’m hot…nice going Chloe.

Travis quickly defends himself “No, I’m just high on life.” Look at the pretty colours. “WHOAA!!!” Travis runs off in the opposite direction like a madman.

Chloe has a look of confusion and curiosity as she watches Travis runoff. This day just gets weirder and weirder…but it is Smallville.

Pete rushes over to Chloe curious to what’s going on. Eww Chloe and her chem.-lab partner?!...ewww. “Chloe, did I just see you making out with your chem.-lab partner?” Ewww.

Still confused, Chloe starts to respond, but is cut off by someones yelling. Pete and Chloe look to where it is coming from, and see Travis climbing some equipment.

High on life my ass, he’s totally wasted. “Travis!” Chloe tries to yell over the blasting music.

Seeing as Chloe failed to catch Travis’ attention, Pete gives it a shot and yells “Hey, get down from there!” Where’s Clark when you need him?

Seeming oblivious of there warnings and yells, Travis continues climbing.

Worried something might happen, Pete yells yet another warning to Travis “Hey, get down from there!” What is he planning? He must be drunk.

Pete walks away from the crowd feeling frustrated and worried. He stops and sits down by a wall in hopes of calming down. Okay, just breathe…calm down, Pete.

Travis yells “I’m invincible!” I can fly!!! Then he stupidly jumps off the equipment and lands face first on the hard cave floor.

All eyes are now pointed to the dead body of Travis.

CH 4
ACTING UP AND THINKING STRAIGHT



Clark’s walking down the street while reading an article titled “Local Teen Dies in Cave Rave.” I can’t believe this happened. I wonder how Pete’s doing; Chloe told me he was pretty freaked. I better check on him later. Clark folds the newspaper up and continues walking down the street. After a few seconds of walking Clark hears a motor bike engine. That’s heading right this way?! He turns around and is shocked to see Pete riding his motor bike. Now Pete riding his motor bike is not what shocks Clark, its Pete riding his motor bike on the sidewalk that shocks Clark. I thought Pete would be moping around his house today, not riding his bike scaring some little old ladies. Chloe said he took Travis’ death hard. From what I’m seeing either she was lying, Pete’s drunk or something or I’m just going crazy. I hope it’s not the last one.

Using some random sign as a ramp, Pete launches his bike off it and almost hits some random, innocent women. That was some rush! Riding my bike always takes my mind off things, and plus it’s just plain fun. Hehe.

Clark is now a little worried and a whole lot confused. Is that really Pete? Clark looks down the street and searches for any damage Pete might have caused other then knocking over some random lady. Whoa, I hope that lady is okay. She’s just kind of laying their…Oh wait no she’s getting up *sighs* that’s a relief. After viewing the damage, Clark decides to get Pete to stop and talk.

“Pete!” Noticing he got Pete to stop, and seeing as he had his attention, Clark starts asking the important questions. “What are you doing? You nuts?” If he’s not crazy, then maybe I’m sane in a crazy world…whoa to deep Clark, let’s just hear what Pete’s explanation is. It must be a good one, considering Pete would never act this reckless.

Pete just grins and simply answers “Just out taking a little spin.” I hope Clark doesn’t bring up the Cave incident. I really can’t talk about it now. Maybe if I play cool he won’t think anything is wrong.

Okay, maybe he didn’t have the best explanation. Clark just continues looking at Pete like he has grown three heads. Okay I’ll admit it, I’m a little worried. Now Clark goes into mother mode “Without your helmet, like a wild man.” Feeling a little disappointed at Pete, Clark continues his lecture “You could have hurt someone, most likely yourself.” Tsk-tsk, I’m so disappointed at you, Pete.

Pete simply agrees with Clark and says “Yeah, that’s a rush.” Clark, man, you’ll just never get it. Pete hops off the bike and starts scanning it for damage, or maybe he’s just checking it out, because I mean it is a good looking bike.

Okay, well seeing as this is going nowhere, time to change the subject. “Chloe told me what happened. Sorry I wasn’t there to back you up.” Pete’s my best friend, I should have been there to back him up.


Pete finally looks up from his bike. Don’t crack Ross, just play it cool and hope for another subject change. “Hey, you’re never more alive than the moment before you die.” With a hint of sadness, Pete adds “At least Travis had that.” Nice job Ross, what happened with playing it cool.

Don’t think I didn’t catch that hint of sadness in your voice Pete. Clark, still confused by how Pete’s acting continues on with his questions “Hey, you feeling okay?”

Pete shakes away some unwanted emotions and goes back to pretending he doesn’t care. “I feel great.” Please, just drop it for once, Clark.

Not feeling too convinced by Pete’s response, Clark continues pushing. “If you want to talk about what happened, I’m here for you.” You might not want to talk today, tomorrow or next week, but when you do, oh yeah, I’ll be there...like it or not, I will be there. Count on it!

Pete laughs a little by what Clark said. How did I know he was going to say that next? This is my perfect chance to change the subject. “Clark, all you ever do is talk.” With Pete feeling proud that he dodged that emotional bullet, he continues turning the conversation at Clark. “For a guy who can’t get hurt, you never take any risks.”

Refusing to believe what Pete just said, Clark tries to play it off “That’s not true.” Pete doesn’t know what he’s talking about…or does he? Great, now I feel like a complete loser. From the look on Clark’s face, you can tell he’s starting to believe in what Pete’s saying.

Pete, finding humor in Clark’s reaction, decides to go a little further. This is going to be good. He points across the street, where the Talon is located. “What about Lana? Now that Fordman’s toast…” Clark’s eyes follow to where Pete is pointing at. “…when are you gonna take your shot with her?” Knowing Clark, first he’s going to try and avoid the subject. Then he’s going to use the whole secret thing as an excuse. He is so predictable when it comes to Lana.

Clark see’s Lana about to open the doors of the Talon. She looks so cute opening that door, but then again she looks cute all the time. Lana smiles at Clark and finally enters the Talon. She smiled at me? Awesome!

Clark turns around to face Pete again. Wait, how did we go from talking about Travis’ death to talking about Lana within five seconds? Quick Clark, think of something! I refuse to let Pete prove his point or admit he is probably right. HAHA I got it! “Come on, Pete, Whitney was your friend.” Take that Pete. Oh, oh, I got another one. “Besides, it’s not that easy.” Nothing is ever easy for me.

Pete is getting really tired of the way Clark always avoids the topic of being more then friends with Lana, and today he refuses to take any of Clark’s excuses. “Why? Because you can’t share your secret?” I’m right on target. “You shared it with me, and we’re still cool.” Clark, sometimes I worry at how stupid you can be. Lana clearly likes you, maybe even loves you and you obviously love her, so get you fat alien ass across the street and ask her out already. If I wasn’t such a good friend, I probably would have said that out loud.

Damn, he caught me. Sometimes I hate that he knows me so well. Can’t think of anymore good excuses or reasons, Clark plays his last card “That’s different.” Wow, that didn’t sound pathetic at all *sigh* Pete’s never going to buy that.

He’s pathetic if he thinks I’m going to buy into that. “You’re just afraid she’ll shut you down. You only go around once. Forget about the past.” Pete starts up his motor bike, knowing he won this round. “Focus on the future.” That’s one thing I learned from Travis’ death. Pete drives away, back down the sidewalk, leaving Clark wondering what just happened.


<If I get enough feedback I might consider updating again tonight, or early tomorrow>

[SVsleuth]

:) -Hmm... I think I read this already elsewhere.... so PPMS! ;)

[happycamper]

Nice start!

I assume this is Pete unaffected by the parasite?

While his actions are overborard, his logic seems impeccable.

[<Nimrod>]

^Yeah, Pete's not infected....yet? (yeah I'm mean like that)

-I'm actually still thinking of who should get infected, and the ideas I got from people are pretty good...so you guys will probably be a little suprised:D Well, I'll probably update a little later, untill then, see ya:p

[<Nimrod>]

CH 5
HEAD VS HEART


Clark continues standing right in place, staring at the Talon as his heart and head go at war, fighting about Clark’s last conversation with Pete.

Heart- He does have a point. We should just go for it, considering we don’t have any real, GOOD reasons not to.

Head- Umm, hello, I think you’re forgetting something…

Heart- Oh yeah, and what’s that?

Head- Oh I don’t know, maybe something along the lines of OUR SECRET!

Heart- Lana will totally understand…unless you think she’s that shallow?

Head- What? Hey, don’t you twist my words. I would never even dare think that Lana is that shallow.

Heart- Then what’s your problem? Obviously you agree with me that she will understand and except us, so what are you *****ing about now?

Head- Well, there is always the possibility that she will say no. Given the history between us, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was her answer.

Heart- What happened with Travis just reminds us that we don’t have all the time in the world. Honestly, I think we already wasted enough time.

Head- *pause* Fine. But if she says no, don’t come crying to me.

Finally deciding what he needs to do, Clark runs across the street to the Talon, knowing he will either be leaving heart filled or heartbroken. Well, there’s no turning back now…Let’s hope today, is the day when my sweetest dream, finally becomes reality.


^Yes, I know this update is super short, but there will be another update tonight:p

[Clana227]

Hey nice update

[Venezuelan Lana]

yeah... it was nice to see Clark debating with himself werther she tell her or not... PPMS

[<Nimrod>]

CH 6
IS HE SERIOUS?



Clark opens the Talon doors, with his now shaky hands. As he walks in, he makes an attempt at fixing himself up and calming down, considering he looks like he is about to have a panic attack. He looks up from the floor long enough to notice that Lana is no more than four feet away from him, writing some specials on the chalk board.

Maybe I can still make a run for it…NO, come on Clark, just start by saying a simple ‘hey.’ “Hey.”

Whoa, okay how long has Clark been there? And why does he sound nervous? Lana looks up from the chalk board to Clark. “Hey.”

*silence* Well this just got awkward. Come on Lana, think of a conversation starter before this gets even more awkward. “Did you hear about Travis?” Lana asks, sounding a little sad.

Clark looks down sadly for a second before responding “Yeah, pretty sad, huh?”

Lana stands up and says “Yeah. The police think he might have been on something, which is the only explanation. I mean, we always assume that we have all the time in the world, but we never know.” Hint, hint, Clark.

Clark just nods along to what she is saying. This could be the perfect moment to finally ask her out.

Lana turns and begins to walk towards the counter, while saying with an amused tone “The school counselor told me I need to look forward, embrace living, carpe diem.” Lana switches to a more serious tone before continuing “At first I thought it sounded corny, but the more I think about it, she’s right.”

Clark follows Lana and continues nodding along. I can do this. Maybe, just avoid looking into her eyes, which might make it easier.

Lana finally reaches the counter and walks behind it, to put the chalk away before continuing “You know, I just don’t want to be a spectator in my own life.”

Clark seeing the hints and signs everywhere, takes a deep breathe before taking advantage of this perfect opportunity “Yeah , me neither.” Okay, I got to remember to breathe. “We should go on a date, together.” Oxygen is starting to become a problem. Breathe Clark! You don’t want to pass out before she even gives you an answer.

Lana looks up in surprise at what Clark just said. He did just ask me out, right? I mean I’m not daydreaming again am I?

Now that Clark found function of his lungs again he continues “In the near future.” I would resort to begging if needed.

Thinking that she might actually be daydreaming this, feels the need to ask “Are you serious?” If he’s joking, I might just have to slap him.

Clark just nods and quickly responds “I was.” If she says yes, I will probably faint. If she says no, I will probably also faint.

Clark, feeling a little scared that is has been almost three minutes, and she has yet to give an answer, starts to back down. “But if you don’t want to go’…” I hope I don’t cry.

Finally snapping back to reality, Lana cuts Clark off before he even dares backing down “When?”

Seriously unbelieving that she agreed to go on a date with him, Clark has to ask “You mean you’ll go?” Please say yes.

A very happy looking Lana responds with a simple “Yeah.” Hell yeah, who wouldn’t! “I assume that was the answer you were looking for.” Haha, is he blushing?

I hope I’m not blushing. “Yeah, I just didn’t think it’d be that easy.” If I did know, I would have asked, like, months ago.

Aww, he’s so cute when he is blushing. “Well, all you had to do was ask.”

Finally exiting out of dork-faze, Clark starts to get down to business “Well, how about tomorrow?” My face is going to hurt with all the smiling I’m doing.

“Sounds like fun.” I can’t stop smiling!

“Right, it’s a date.” ALRIGHT, I FINALLY DID IT!

“Okay.” ALRIGHT, HE FINALLY DID IT!

Clark turns around walking toward the exit of the Talon, already thinking about his plans for tomorrow. I have been planning this for months. I just hope she will love what I have planned.

[akuma]

FINALLY! PPMS

CH 7
WHAT'S YOUR INTEREST


Clark pulls out a trash bag ready to clean up the mess, in the cave, left from the rave. This place is a mess…well, looking on the bright side, I got a date with Lana tomorrow. Man, I still can’t believe it! As soon as Clark opens the trash bag, a flashlight flashes in his eyes. He looks around, searching for the keeper of the flashlight.

“Don’t bother. I’ve got a maintenance crew coming.” Why am I, not surprised to see Clark here?

Clark let’s out a sigh, feeling relived and at the same time, kind of disappointed to see Lex. Why does Lex, always feel the need to come out of no where and scare the crap out of me? “Lex, I didn’t see you there.” What, did you come out of the shadows or something?

While looking around to make sure no damage was done to the painting, “I was just checking for damage.” Lex, starts to walk closer to Clark, and kicks a can on the ground, “Looks like it was quite a bash.” Damn kids!

Clark packs his trash bag back into his backpack. “Pete tried to break it up.” Oh man, I can’t wait to tell Pete about my date with Lana!

Well obviously Pete’s efforts failed. “Oh, I’m sure it was a noble effort.” Nice try, Pete. “But not many teenagers are interested in 500 year-old cave paintings.” Well except for you Clark…

Clark and Lex continue looking around the cave. “What’s your interest, Clark?”

Wow, I saw this one coming. “What do you mean?” Why, does Lex have to be so curious?

Lex continues searching for damage, and explains, “When I fired the security guard, I asked him who else he let in these caves.” Stupid security guard. “He told me you were down here almost everyday.” Lex turns around to face Clark. “Now, you wouldn’t be keeping secrets from me, would you, Clark?”

You just can’t let things go, can you Lex? “Kyla gave her life for these caves.” I miss Kyla! “I’m doing a term paper on the drawings.” Technically, that is the truth.

Turning his head to see something, he spots something. it's a book in a backpack. Lex pulls out the book from Clark’s backpack. staring at the book he reads it's title,“Deciphering the Mysterious of Hieroglyphics, by Dr. Fredrick Walden.” Interesting. Lex looks back at Clark, still holding the book, “Sounds like a real humdinger, Clark.”

Sure Lex, go through my stuff. See if I care. “ I have always wondered Lex, why’d you start the preservation project? It’s not like there’s big money in caves.”

Sounding kind of shady, Lex replies “I like a good mystery. This one promises to be fascinating.” Pause. “Wouldn’t you agree?”

Okay, that’s my cue to exit. “I better get going.”

As Clark begins to walk away, Lex say, “I told the new security men nobody comes down here without my permission.”

Clark stops walking and turns around to face Lex. Where is he going with this?

“Nobody except Clark Kent, of course.”

Clark just smiles at him and walks out of the cave. Okay I might want to keep an eye on Lex, but right now I have to start getting everything ready for tomorrow.


<I will have another update for you guys tonight...That is if I can get through my German homework>:D

[Clana227]

great update is some grest Clana coming up.

Great job so far, keep goin with story!

CH 8
CLEARING THE AIR


Chloe, walks into the Talon, and finds Lana at the counter adjusting some flowers.

“Hey, I didn’t hear you leave this morning.” She’s was probably avoiding me.

I was avoiding you. “Oh, I had to be here first thing.”

“If I didn’t know better I’d say you were avoiding me.”

Lana finally makes eye contact with Chloe, and says, “Don’t take it personally. It’s just how I cope.”

Okay, I can buy that. “I don’t want to be one of those annoying people that say: I’m here if you need to talk. But I am.”

“I appreciate it.” Lana begins to back away from Chloe and heads toward the back room.

“Listen, if you don’t feel like talking I thought we could go to Metropolis tomorrow and do some serious shopping.” I love shopping. Chloe pauses a second before continuing, “My dad even said that he would join in on the conspiracy and get us out of school early.”

Lana finally comes back from the backroom, with a fake smile and says, “Thanks, and I’d love to.” She picks up the flowers on the counter from earlier and heads over to a table. “But, you know, I already have plans with Clark.” Let the awkwardness begin.

Oh, so this is probably the real reason why she was avoiding me. Chloe walks over to Lana, now more curious then ever. “What kind of plans?” Not that I don’t already know the answer.

Lana begins to set the table, while avoiding eye contact with Chloe. “Well, he asked me out on a date.” I still can’t believe it myself.

NO WAY! Keep cool, Chloe. Chloe takes a deep breathe, “Wow, I thought you were giving up on the mating dance.”

“Yeah, yeah, me too.” She looks pissed.

I’m pissed. “But you still said yes.”

Deep breathe, “Look, Chloe, if this is gonna be too weird for you…”

Chloe cuts her off, before she can finish, “No.” That’s it Chloe, play nice. “My feelings for Clark are so ancient they’re-They’re fossilized.” Smooth. Chloe lets out a mental sigh, “Seriously, you should go for it.”

Is she seriously giving me her blessing, because I accepted a little more drama from Chloe. Wanting to make sure she had her friends complete blessing, Lana asks, “Are you sure?”

No. “Lana, does it really matter how I feel?”

Lana looks down. No, not really, but I’m not going to be rude.

Chloe looks away from Lana. “If I was in your position, I’d do the exact same thing.” Seriously. “Don’t let me be your excuse.” Sometimes I hate having to be the good friend.

Lana looks up at Chloe, happy that she had her friend’s approval, “Okay.” Glad I dodged that bullet. “I’m glad we cleared the air.”

“Me too.” I really want to slap you. “I’ll see you tonight.”

Thank goodness, she’s leaving. “Okay.”



CH 9 A
WHERE ARE THEY?


||KENT FARM||

Clark, walks into the kitchen, absolutely starving. As Clark is pulling out some day old pizza, he begins to wonder where his parents are at.

“MOM? DAD?” Hmm, I wonder where they are. “HELLO?”

Clark finishes up the slice of pizza, and walks outside hoping to find any clue to where his parents are. Clark scans the fields hoping to find a trace of his dad anywhere, but finds nothing. He walks around the porch, hoping to find his mom in her garden, “Mom? Are you here?” They must be in town. Maybe I should go back inside, there might be a note or something that I might have missed earlier. Clark was just about to turn around and head back inside, when all of a sudden he hears a painful yell coming straight from the barn…




<Yes, I know I am being mean...but hey if makes you feel any better I will give you guys 2 to 3 updates tomorrow (maybe):p >

CH 9 B
OH-MY-NIMROD



Clark speeds over to the barn as fast as his alien legs can. He comes to a fast stop and starts to search for the person behind the scream. Clark quickly notices his dad…unconscious right next to the tractor.

Oh- My- Nimrod. “DAD!”

Clark runs over to his fallen father and checks for breathing. After making sure Jonathon was breathing, Clark starts searching for any injuries. He lifts up Jonathon’s head and automatically notices the huge gash on his head, and some sort of cut on the back of his neck.

Okay…Red is not my favorite colour anymore. “Oh wow…Dad, hang on!”

Clark super-speeds into the house, in hopes of finding something that will stop the bleeding. After successfully finding a towel and some bandages, Clark calls 911 just before speeding back to his dad.

Who would do this? “Okay dad, helps on the way, just…Keep breathing!”

Clark puts some bandages over the cut on the back of Jonathon’s neck and wraps the towel around his head.

Trouble just follows the Kent name, although most of the trouble is because of me. Argh! I have so many questions and I am in need of the answers…Why would anyone do this? Who would do this? How did my dad get that cut on his neck? When did this happen? Where’s mom? Wait, where IS mom?!

Just as Clark was about to speed around to locate his mom, the ambulance pulls up. A man and a woman jump out of the truck and head to the back to receive a stretcher and some medical stuff. After they got all their stuff together they quickly make their way to Clark.

“Where is he?” Says the impatient ambulance man.

Clark points to the entrance of the barn, “Right, in there.” Hurry!

The medical people make their way into the barn. They hastily load Jonathon on the stretcher and transfer him into the ambulance. They run some basic tests on him, as Clark just stands there, still a little shocked from everything happening.

“Sir!” What is he staring at, it looks like he is brain dead.

Snapping him out of his own thoughts, Clark looks up towards the woman. “Huh? What? Sorry, I wasn’t listening.”

“I said we will have to transfer your father to the hospital. Would you like to ride there with us?” The kids today are just weird. Just last week we had some kid come in the hospital after getting bitten by an alligator! I mean, how the nimrod does that happen?!

“No. Umm…I still have to contact some people, so just go on without me.” Mom’s going to freak.

“Okay. The hospital will contact you in a little bit.”

“Thank you.”

The ambulance made a quick exit and headed straight towards the hospital. After waiting for the ambulance to leave the property, Clark speeds around the farm in search for Martha.

“MOM! MOM, are you here? MOM!”

Finishing the sixth lap around the farm and still no sign of Martha, Clark decides to call around and ask people.

“Okay, who to call first?”

Right as he was dialing the first number, the door opens…



<I know I'm being mean again :p...but remember you will be getting another update tonight>:D

[Clana227]

CH 9 C
NEVER A DULL DAY



Just as he was dialing the first number, the front door opens and in comes Martha Kent.

“Hi, honey.”

Clark runs over to Martha and starts suffocating her in a giant bear hug.

“Oh mom, I was so worried!” Thank god, she’s alright!

“Clark- Air- Pro…problem!” Gasps Martha, as she tries to squirm her way out of her son’s bone crushing hug.

Clark quickly lets go of his mother and apologizes “Sorry mom.” I hope I didn’t break any bones.

Still gasping for air, Martha just smiles up at him, “It’s okay Clark, and I’m happy to see you too.”

Finally remembering the situation they were in, Clark shouts “MOM!”

Caught off guard, Martha jumped back a little by the intensity of his voice. “Clark, there’s no need to shout, honey. I am only two feet away from you.” Clark is acting strange…er then usual.

“Mom, its dad...he-he…” Clark starts to look all around, and starts shaking a little.

Becoming very worried about Clark’s actions, Martha tries to figure out what he is saying, “Clark, what is it? What is going on with your dad? Where is he?”

Clark calms down in order to give his mom the information she is looking for. “Mom, earlier today, I came home and found dad, lying unconscious on the barn floor. He had a gash on the back of his head and a long laceration, on the back of his neck.” Clark looks up at his mother and noticed that she had made her way over to a chair, and is now sitting down taking deep breathes. “Mom…”

Martha looks up at Clark with her eyes glazed. “Clark, what happened?” Who or what did this to Jonathon?! Where is he now?

"Mom, it's O.K. , I called 911, a squad of paramedics responded and treated dad. Then they rushed him to Smallville hospital E.R. I am sure that by now, the doctors are checking him out . But right now, I suggest that we go and find out."

"I plan on doing just that", Martha says, as she grabs her car keys and purse. “Clark I’m going to the hospital, are you coming?”

He shakes his head. “No, just go ahead of me. There are a couple things I need to take care of first. I'll meet you there.” There are a number of things, I have to do first. *sigh* I guess, that, I am one busy person.

Martha doesn’t argue with him or ask anymore questions. “Okay, just meet me at the hospital when you can.”

He offers her a small smile and nods his head. “Of course, and don’t worry mom, dad will be okay.” I know he will.

With that being said, Martha makes a hasty exit. While, Clark just stands by the window and watches his mom drive off the farm and to the hospital. Never a dull day in Smallville…unfortunately.

CH 10
THE SCREWDRIVER AND THE HAMMER



||BACK AT THE CAVES RIGHT AFTER CLARK LEFT||


Lex watches Clark walk out of the exit of the cave. There are so many questions, that come with Clark Kent. One day I will find the answers.

Lex looks around at all the cave paintings, until one in particular catches his eyes. He walks over to the painting to inspect it further. I have never seen this before. Interesting. He uses his finger to trace the outline of the painting, which looks like a worm of some sort. Hello, what’s this? There is a crack in the cave wall that runs from the top of the cave, through the middle of the worm painting, and then runs off to the side. Lex moves in closer to get a better look. He sticks his hand in the crack to see if it leads anywhere, but then gets bitten by something.

Lex quickly removes his hand and yelps, “Ouch!” What the…

The pain Lex felt was quickly replaced with a rush of adrenaline. Whoa. Cool. Party time!

Lex makes a fast exit and hops into his sports car. He speeds onto the road, going WAY over the speed limit. “YEAH! This is great. Hmm, partying by yourself is never any fun. Maybe this will be a chance for Clark to explore outside of the flannel life.” That being said, he makes a sharp and fast U-turn, with his new destination ................ the Kent Farm.



||KENT FARM||

Jonathan was walking towards the barn ready to fix the tractor. “I think I spend more time fixing this gosh darn thing, then actually using it.” Laughing a little at truth of that statement, he continues toward the barn. Just when he was about to reach the barn opening, Jonathan looks at the sports car speeding down his drive way.

“Who the heck is that?” The car is now close enough for Jonathan to read the license plate. “LEX.” I should have known.

Lex comes to a screeching halt and jumps right out of his car. He makes his way to Mr. Kent, looking a bit annoyed. I was hoping I could avoid this old bastard.

Jonathan matches his steps. “Lex. Uhh, what can I do for you?”

Lex stops walking when he is face to face with Jonathan. “You? Nothing. I’m looking for Clark.” The faster I find him, the more time to party.

Choosing to ignore Lex’s rudeness, Jonathan replies as nicely as possible. “Well, Clark is not home yet. I’m not even sure when he will be home, but…”

Lex cuts Mr. Kent off before he could even finish his sentence. “You’re just trying to get rid of me. You are not very good at hiding your feeling towards me, Jonathan.”

Jonathan goes a little wide eyed at Lex’s bluntness. “Lex, what are you talking about? Are you feeling okay?” I wasn’t even being rude to him…yet.

Lex walks closer to him, until he is face to face with Mr. Kent. “Just say it! You never liked the idea of Clark being my friend. Or maybe it was the idea of a Luthor being a friend of a Kent.”

Refusing to take crap from a bald, rich boy, Luthor, Jonathan defends himself. “I might not enjoy the idea of you and Clark being friends, but I tolerate it. Now, please get off my farm.” Jonathan turns around and once again makes his way to the barn.

Lex follows Jonathan inside the barn. “Look, I honestly don’t give **** about what an old bastard like you has to say about me or my friendships with people!”

Starting to get really annoyed at Lex, Jonathon puts down his screwdriver and his hammer on the work bench and turns his full attention to Lex. “Don’t you mean lack of friendships? If I remember, Clark is or WAS your first real friend.” Take that baldy!

Lex’s bald head starts turning a bit red, and not from embarrassment. “Jonathan, you do not want to mess with me!” That’s his first warning…and last.

“Or what, you’re going to use your money and somehow make my life a living hell? Going to somehow turn everyone against me? Hmm? Well listen Lex, no matter what you do, you will always be known as the bald, spoiled, loser son Luthor. I can always repair the damage you do to me, but there is nothing you could do to repair yours.” Jonathan smirks at how red Lex is before continuing. “You have already lost…Luthor!” Or should I say Loser.

That’s it! “That’s it!” Lex charges toward Jonathan, and tackles him to the ground.

“Lex- What- Are- You doing!?” Jonathon grabs Lex’s jacket collar and pushes Lex off him, then kicks Lex in the stomach in order to get some distance from him.

Gasping for air, after that last kick, Lex still manages to form a proper sentence. “I am- doing what I should- should have done a long time ago. No matter what I do you will never see past the name Luthor, and honestly I am getting ****ing tried of defending myself when I did nothing.” Lex finally stands up, and dusts off his pants.

Mr. Kent also stands up, and looks at Lex like he is a crack pot. “So you tackle me to the ground!? Are you high?” He must be.

“I’m thinking about it.” Lex takes a step towards Mr. Kent. “The way I see it is, if I am being accused of something, I might as well do the crime. I’ll never look good in your eyes, so what’s the difference if I tackle you or punch you!” Lex uppercuts Jonathan square in the jaw. Jonathan stumbles back, but catches himself and returns Lex’s punch with his own, right at his nose.

“You did not want to do that Mr. Kent!” Lex licks the blood dripping from his nose, and grabs the screwdriver that was on the work bench, and once again launches himself towards Mr. Kent. “I am sick and tried of you old man!”

Jonathan dodges Lex’s attack, and tries to make a run for it or at least find a weapon, with which to defend himself.

“Oh no, you don’t!” Lex launches another attack at Mr. Kent and slashes the back off his neck.

“Ahhhh!” Jonathan falls to the barn floor clutching the back of his neck. What the hell is Lex doing! He removes his hand from his neck and sees the pool of blood on his hand. “Lex what the hell are you thinking?”

Lex just grins. “I’m thinking that this is my chance.” He grabs the hammer that was also on the work bench and for the last time, makes his was towards Jonathan.

“Lex, wait! What are you going to do?” Jonathan starts to crawl backwards, seriously scared of the bald psychopath in front of him.

“I am making sure I have a good time. I will not allow anything to get in my way. I am sick of playing the nice card.” Lex runs the hammer right at the top of Mr. Kent’s head. That was easy. Jonathan’s body slumps to the floor unconscious and bleeding all over.

“Well, looks like this trip wasn’t a waste of fun after all.” Lex walks back over to his car, but not before grabbing the screwdriver he dropped a little while back. “Can’t have anyone finding out about this, and ruin my fun.” He climbs into his car and speeds away from, the farm.



<Did you see that one coming...>:D

Yeah I thought people would like the talk between Jonathon and Lex (I know I LOVED writing it):lol:

And as for the date...well Clark and Lana will go on a date:rolleyes: , but might not be the one that was originally planned (always room for drama)...and who knows maybe Chloe is the one to ruin the originally planned date, or will it be Lex?...Pete?....Who knows? (well I do, but Im just being mean)...And even if Clark and Lana go on a date, it doesnt mean it will end perfectly (evil, I know)....I will update tomorrow or tuesday, keep an eye open;)

CH 11
MAKE IT A USUAL TO DO THE UNUSUAL



||PRESENT TIME||


Clark walks into the Talon. Okay, first thing on the list is to talk to Pete. Clark sees Pete sitting in a booth in the back corner, working on some German homework. Here goes nothing.

“Hey, Pete!” Good start.

Pete looks up from the German book long enough to acknowledge the person talking to him. “Oh, hey Clark.” Pete quickly looks back down at the book. “I mean, hallo Clark.”

Clark laughs at Pete interest in the foreign language. “What’s up with the language change? I thought you were taking Spanish.” German is pretty cool though…Ja klar!

Pete frees his nose from the book once more. “Well I decided to try something new. I trying to make it a usual, to do the unusual…Uh if that makes any sense.” Pete laughs at his own confusion.

“Well you have been doing that a lot lately.” I feel like the wet blanket.

Uh-oh. “From that look on your face, I take it that you think it’s a bad thing.” He is more of a mother then a friend sometimes.

Clark sits down ready for the long talk that’s about to happen. “Listen Pete, I am just a little worried. Ever since Travis’ death…well…you seem like a different person.” Please don’t kill the messenger.

Pete closes the book completely and gives Clark his full attention. “Is it a bad thing?”

Not really sure how to approach the question, Clark tries to explain in the nicest way. “Well, I am just worried. Whenever something goes wrong, you usually go though this “Lets try something new” phase. I just don’t want you to think what happened with Travis was your fault. You did what you could Pete.”

“Clark! Listen! I am not blaming myself for Travis’ death! Did you ever think that maybe Travis death just affected me, in a good way?” Pete tries to read Clark’s face to see if he is getting though. Pete lets out a sigh. “Look Clark, what happened was like a wake up call for me. You don’t have all the time in the world, and you need to make sure you live up to every last second of it. Am I getting through to you Clark?"

Clark picks up Pete’s German book, and gives Pete a half smile. “Ich holen es.”

Pete smiles back. “Since when did you become the German master?” No seriously.

Clark hands the book back to Pete. “I am still a little rusty, but I have been teaching myself for a couple years. Sometimes I get really bored up in the loft.” Like really bored.

Pete laughs at Clark’s comment. “Man Clark you are always just full of surprises. I mean I know your secret and yet I still learn something new about you everyday! Anymore tricks up your sleeve Kent?” I mean does he know French also?

“Well, not that I know of, but considering it’s me you never know.” Even I learn something new about myself everyday.

Pete takes a sip of his coffee before remembering a certain call he got from Martha Kent. “Hey man, your mom called me about a half and hour ago telling me what happened with your dad. Do you have any idea who would do that to him?” Why is it always the Kents?

Clark puts his hands in his pocket and pulls out his cell phone to check for missing calls. “No. I don’t have any idea who did this. I was about to head down to the hospital after this and go check up on him, did you want to come?”

Pete begins to pack up his books. “It’s like you read my mind…Wait, you can’t read my mind can you?” Anything is possible.

Clark chuckles, and shakes his head. “No. At least not yet, I don’t think.” Lets hope not. I don’t need mind-reading, I am already a big enough freak.

Pete and Clark walk out of the Talon and onto the main street. It wasn’t long until the two teens heard a thunderous car engine haul its way down the street.

What is with people and driving like maniacs on this street. “Is that Lex?”

“Wow, I didn’t think baldy had it in him anymore.” I thought he turned “nice” when he came to Smallville. Nothing like his Metroplois self.

Lex's porsche comes to a screeching halt right next to Clark and Pete. He rolls down his window. “Hey Clark...Pete. Listen I am about to head down to this new place that just opened up in Metropolis, do you want to come?”

"Actually, Pete and I were about to head down to the hospital.”

Lex laughs. “What happened this time? You know for a town called Smallville, a lot of action goes on around here.”

Somewhat suprized, by what Lex is saying, Clark tries to explain. “Well it’s my dad. Someone attacked him today in the barn.” I will find out who did this.

Oh I wonder who that could be. “That’s to bad. Well do you want to come or not?”

Clark looks around for some reason. “Lex, my dads in the hospital and all you’re thinking about are clubs.”

Lex corrects him. “Strip clubs. I mean come on Clark, you’re single, and deserve a little action.” Just pull out a fifty dollar bill, and you will get some awesome action.

“Actually Lex, I am not single. I’m actually going on a date…with Lana.” Oh right Lana. I think I might have to cancel our date, ****.

“Ah so you finally grew a pair huh? Well it’s about damn time. I was about to lock you two in a room just to free you both of your sexual tension.”

Pete took this moment to break in the conversation laughing. “Are you kidding me? It’s more like awkward tension, if any.”

Clark’s face just continues turning red. “Well Lex, nice talking to you but we got to go.”

Lex lets out a angry sigh. “Whatever. When you actually deside to have some fun for a change, let me know. See you later, flannel king.” Lex hops back into his car and steps on the pedal.

Clark and Pete just stand there watching Lex leave. Pete is the first to break the silence. “Was it me or was Lex…”

Clark finishes Pete’s sentence. “…acting very strange.”

“Yeah. Oh well, lets go man. You can tell about what you have planned for your, finally date with Lana.” Pete begins to walk towards his car smiling.

Clark snaps out of his thoughts. “Yeah okay.” Clark runs up to catch up to Pete. Something is going on with Lex, and I need to find out what. For now I will just enjoy talking about Lana.

CH 12
FORGOT




||AT THE HOSPITAL||



Martha Kent is sitting next to the bed which holds her fallen husband. The doctors may have said Jonathan will make a full recovering, but that doesn’t mean Martha still isn’t worried. That crazy SOB is still out there, and who says he won’t try and attack again? Look at me, I am probably stressing over nothing, maybe I just need some coffee.

Mrs. Kent walks out of Jonathan’s room and was about to start walking to the eating area, when she ran into something. I would know this fabric softener anywhere. “Clark, thank god you’re here!” Martha wraps her arms around her son.

Clark returns his moms embrace with his own. “Hey, mom. Sorry I am late; I made a pit stop for reinforcements.” Clark pulls away from his mom in order to reveal the person who he was blocking from her view.

Martha happily sighs. “Pete.” She gives Pete the same embrace as she did Clark. “It is good to see you Pete. I have been worried about you.”

Pete chuckles at Martha’s kindness and comments. “Well it is good to see you to, Mrs. Kent, but don’t you think you should be worrying more about your husband then me?”

Martha quickly cuts him off and sternly replies, “Nonsense! Pete I have known you since you were a lad, and you are practically family.” Pete you are just like another son to me, and it is a mother’s job to worry.

Pete gives Mrs. Kent a quick hug. “Thank you Mrs. Kent. It means a lot that you consider me family, but don’t worry I am fine.” Same old Mrs. Kent, always worrying about others. That must be where Clark gets it from.

Martha smiles at Pete. “Are you sure your okay?”

“I am okay, I promise.” Clark is lucky to have a mom like Martha Kent.

As touched as I am with this moment, I am more worried about dad right now. Clark lets out a cough in hope to grab their attention. “Sorry, but mom how is dad?”

Martha turns back to Clark. “Oh right, of course!” I actually forgot I was in a hospital and with my husband as a patient to make matters worse. “Clark, the doctors said your dad is going to make a full recovery.”

As excited as this news brought him, the look on Martha’s face told him there was more to it. “Mom, that is great news, but how come you still have a sad look on your face if dad is going to be fine?” There is something she is not telling me, but I don’t get it, I mean she did say he was going to be okay right?

Martha looks up kind of looking like a deer caught in head-lights. “Nothing, everything is fine.” She gives both Clark and Pete an obviously fake smile.

Pete steps up to the plate hoping to crack Martha’s shell. “Mrs. Kent, come on what do you take us for? Just like when you know something is wrong with us, we know when something is wrong with you.” Did it work?

Mrs. Kent sits down on a bench that was in the hallway and lets out a sigh. “You guys are right. I am just worried that who ever did this to Jonathan is still out there waiting to attack again.”

Clark sits next to his mom. “Mom, don’t worry. I will find whoever did this to dad, I promise. Besides dad is strong, he is not going to let some punk keep him down.” I know he won’t.

Pete leans against the wall across from them. “Yeah, Clark is right Mrs. Kent. Nothing can keep him down, especially “when there is some much farm work to do.” I know the Kent’s too well.

Everyone has a good laugh at Pete’s comment, because it was so true. Martha wipes her eyes and stands back up. “Well, I should probably give Lionel a call and tell him I won’t be able to come to work tomorrow.”

Clark stops laughing at Pete’s joke and stands up next the Martha. “What? Mom, why?”

Martha stops looking for her phone long enough to give Clark an explanation. “Well with your dad here, there is no one to get all the chores done.” Now where is that phone?

Clark puts his hand on his moms shoulder. “Mom, I got it covered. I will do the chores.”

Pete walks up next to Clark and joins in on the conversation. “Yeah, and I will help also.” I will always be there for the Kent’s.

Reluctant to accept this idea Martha starts asking questions. “You two do know you have school tomorrow? I mean I am not allowing you two to skip school for this, your education is far too important.”

Clark lets out a chuckle. “Mom, have you forgotten about my powers? I can have the morning chores done in no time, they will be finished by the time I have to leave to school.”

Martha squints at them and starts her questions again. “Well what about the afternoon and night chores? How do you expect to get them done and your homework? Plus you know you can not speed through all your chores. Last time you ended up with hay scattered everywhere and only the truck where it was suppose to be.” We learned that the hard way.

Pete cuts in again. “Well Mrs. Kent that is what I am here for. I and Clark can handle the chores.”

“We will come home right after school and work on the chores, and I don’t think finishing homework is a problem. I can finish that within an hour, even if I had homework from every class.” With that being said Clark observes Martha’s expression to see if they got through to her.

Letting out a sigh Martha finally gives in. “Alright, alright! Just don’t blame me if your social life is ruined. Thank you both, now if you would excuse me I am headed for the cafeteria.” With that, Mrs. Kent heads down the hallway.

Clark and Pete turn to face each other. “Thanks for the help Pete.”

Pete shakes it off. “No problem. We are like family, and plus I would never miss a chance to help Clark Kent for a change. I mean you are always there for me man, it’s the least I can do to offer a helping hand.”

Clark pushes Pete a little. “Oh come on you help me a lot, even when you don’t know it. Well now that we know my dad is okay, do you want to head towards the Talon? My treat.” I can use a few cups of coffee.

Nodding his head, Pete starts to head down the hall. “You have no idea how much I am craving a cup of coffee right now.” Oh no, I am turning into Chloe.

Clark catches up with Pete and smiles at Pete’s little confession. “Do you know how much you sounded like Chloe right there?” They have been too much time together.

“Yeah I know, don’t rub it in.” Pete unlocks his car and opens the door. “Personally I don’t think it’s the coffee you are looking forward to.” Four letter word.

Clark climbs in the car and puts on his seat belt. “What are you talking about?”

While pulling out of the parking lot Pete explains. “Oh come on!” Pete glances over at Clark and sees that he really doesn’t know what he is talking about. He lets out a sigh. “A certain raven haired beauty. The same beauty you asked out on a date recently.”

Oh…My…God. “I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT LANA!” Clark smacks his hand on his head. “Oh man, I can’t believe I forgot.”

Still a little shocked by Clark’s forgetfulness and little outburst, Pete now tries to calm him down. “Hey man its okay. Believe it or not, but you are allowed to go a second without thinking about her.” Didn’t think mentioning Lana would get him this fired up.

Clark bangs his head on the head rest. “No Pete, you don’t understand. Lana and I were scheduled to go out tomorrow. Our first real date and I can’t even make it.” I am a total loser.

Pete pulls into a parking space by the Talon. “Well at least you have a good reason this time. I mean she can’t be mad at you for covering for your sick dad.” He totally needs to calm down.

Clark opens the door to get out. “Yeah I guess, but I mean I was really looking forward to this.” For a big dork, I have a pretty busy schedule.

Clark and Pete start walking to the Talon. “I know you were man, but that doesn’t mean tomorrow was your only chance. Just reschedule, I know she won’t be mad.” Unless something stupid happens, and ends up causing a drama between the two of you, but let’s not jinx it.

“I hope you are right.” Clark grips the door handle and opens the door. Well here goes nothing…again.

CH 13
SLAP




Clark and Pete are engulfed in the aroma of everything caffeine as they walk into the Talon. Not even out of the door way Clark already starts panicing.

“You know what, maybe we should just go back to the farm.” Maybe Lana won’t even remember our date planned for tomorrow. Clark starts to slowly walk backwards towards the door.

Pete grabs a hold of Clark’s shoulders to prevent him from escaping. “Oh-no you don’t! You have to do this, and you know it.” Why is he such a whimp? I mean a meteor freak with crazy powers doesn’t scare Clark, but a 5’6 raven beauty makes him quiver in his huge farm boots.

Clark sighs and nods. “Yeah I know.” Clark slugs away from the door. “She won’t be mad, right?” I never want to experience the wrath of Lana Lang, never ever!

Pete gives Clark a push to speed him up. “No, of course not. Clark believe it or not, but Lana likes you just as much as you like her, so I bet she would rather want to reschedule the date the cancel it.” Hi, I’m Pete Ross, and my friend is a big loser alien, who is completely clueless by the way.

Clark brakes his feet and turns around quickly to face Pete. “What do you mean cancel, why would she cancel?” I don’t want to cancel, does she? No, of course not…right?

Pointing towards the counter, Pete explains in terms that even a dumb alien can understand. “Well if you don’t tell Lana about the situation you are in soon, then she will be the one to cancel. I mean come on Clark, I kinda think Lana would like to know if you are going to make it to the date or not. Well unless you want her to hate you, then feel free to exit the Talon now and talk to her two days from now and see what happens.” I spelled it out for Clark, he better get the hint.

Before even finishing that thought, Clark has already made his way to the counter, searching for a certain brown haired goddess. “Good luck man. I’ll be over here, watching you make a fool of yourself again.” Pete walks over to a booth, while laughing.

Clark glares at him until he hears someone call his name. “Clark?”

His eyes go from daggering to soft, when he hears his name being called by an angel. “Lana.” Clark turns to face her. “Hey, I didn’t see you there.” I was to busy pretending to set Pete on fire.

Lana giggled. “Yeah, that’s understandable considering you were busy shooting daggers at Pete.” She sets down the tray she was holding and gives Clark her full attenation. “What did he do?”

Clark laughs it off. “Oh, nothing really. He just was teasing me.” Teasing me about you, but you do not need to know that.

Lana gives him a quizzical look before stating sarcastically, “Heaven forbid someone tease the all mighty Clark Kent.” Not saying I like people teasing him.

He laughs. “I’m not that powerful, but yes exactly.” Aw man I can’t believe I have to reschedule.

Lana walks around the counter and sits next to Clark. “Now not that I don’t love the company, cause I absoulty love it, but may I ask what you are doing here?” I can’t wait for our date tomorrow.

Clark sees her left hand resting on the counter top, so he places his right hand over hers. “What makes you think I just didn’t come here to see you?” I mean that is like the main reason why I come to the Talon. I don’t drink tons of coffee like Chloe, and I don’t socialize like Pete.

My hand fits perfectly in his. Lana smiles at just the simplest from Clark. Oh right he said something to you, pay attention Lana. “Well the look on your face, tells me other wise.” Don’t let go of my hand.

Wow, she’s not moving her hand. “Okay you caught me.” Clark gives her hand a gentle squeeze. “I came here to talk about our plans tomorrow.” Now here comes the hard part.

Lana squeezes Clarks hand back. “I am really looking forward to our date.” I haven’t been able to stop smiling.

Clark feels a little brave so he lifts her hand up to his mouth and kisses the top of her hand. “I know so was I.” Maybe she won’t catch the past tense.

As much as Lana loved the kiss her hand got, she frowned when she heard him say past tense. “Why are you speaking in past tense?” Oh please don’t let him cancel this date.

Letting out a sigh Clark explains about what happened with his dad, and explains why he can’t go out tomorrow.

“I am so sorry Lana. I have wanted this for so long, and I just can’t believe that I already have to do this.” My life sucks sometimes.

Lana feels sad about what happened to Mr. Kent, but at the same time can’t help but feel a little disappointed. “Hey, it’s okay. I think your dad being in the hospital gets you off the hook.” For now.

Clark looks up and makes eye contact with Lana. “So, can we reschedule?” Please!

Now it is Lana’s turn to kiss Clark’s hand. “Of course. I mean, I waited this long, what’s another day?” Well maybe now, I can still go shopping with Chloe.

While smiling very wide, Clark says. “Great! So it’s a rescheduled date!” Awesome.

Lana giggles at how cute Clark is acting. “Yes it is a rescheduled date.”

Her laugh is like music to my ears. “Great so...”

Clark was cut off by the Talon door slamming open revieling a very drunk Lex. “Hey…It is Clark…Hey!” I didn’t know that there are three Clarks. Hey three comes after two.

Clark lets go of Lana’s hand in order to pay full attention the his wasted friend. “Lex? Are you drunk?” I already know the answer to that one.

Lex stumbles over a chair, but still some how manages to make his way over to the two raven-haired teens. “Am I drunk? Well I’m thinking about it.” Whoa speed bump.

Clark catches Lex before he got a chance to fall on the ground. “Lex, what’s going on? What’s gottin into you?” I mean I know he drinks, but I have never seen him drunk.

“Well I know what I want to get into.” Lex winks at Lana.

Clark sees this and lets go of Lex, hoping he falls face first on the ground, which he does. “Lex!” That bald creep.

Lana ducks behind Clark, using him as a shield from Lex’s disgusting words. Lex is just a bald creep.

Lex regains his composer and quickly stand up. “What, it’s not like you to are going out. She’s not off limits.”

Lana jumps in on this one. “Actually Lex, Clark and I are going out…or planning to. Right Clark?” Lex is gross.

Clark grabs a hold of Lana’s hand again. “Yeah that’s right. I don’t know what has gotten into you, but back off.” He better back off. I have enough problems going on that I don’t need a bald loser to be added to the list.

Lex uses the counter to steady himself, before he flattens his face anymore. “Whatever dude. Hey, since you’re here do you wanna go to that party I was talking about.” Party all the time.

Pointing to the door, Clark explains in the nicest tone he can manage. “I think you should just leave.”

“Well fine man.” Lex starts to turn around, but not before asking. “What about you Lana? You wanna party hardy?” With me.

Giving Clark’s hand a quick squeeze, Lana lets go of his hand and steps up to Lex…


“I think you should just leave Lex.”

“Whatever, when your sick of this boy, go find a real man like me.” I am all man.

SLAP

Now furious Lana sharply points towards the door. “Leave Lex!” And that’s not a warning.

Lex places a hand on his stinging cheek. “Fine, but all Clark has to offer is secrets. Good luck with that.”

As Lex pushes the Talon door open, Lana turns back to Clark.




<I'm hoping to have another update today...but we shall see>

[SVsleuth]

Ah........same one I already read - rats! I was hoping for the 2X. maybe later.... I LOVE that Lana slapped Lex - we'd all love to see that on the real show, wouldn't we? PPMS!

[<Nimrod>]

[basketballstar23]

[<Nimrod>]

CH 14
GOOD LUCK





Lana turns around to face Clark. “You okay Clark?” Please don’t let Lex scare Clark out of our date.

Clark snaps out of his thoughts and focuses on Lana. “Yeah, I’m fine. Listen I think I should go with Lex and find out what’s wrong with him.” He has been acting strange…Stranger then usual.

Just as Clark was about to make a clean exit to the door, Lana grabs his arm and swings him around to face her once again. “Clark, are you crazy? Lex is not himself, and he is dangerous…you could get hurt.” And I am not going to have our first date in the hospital.

He looks everywhere around the Talon, except in Lana’s eyes. “Lana…”

Lana points her finger at him. “Don’t you ‘Lana’ me. I am not going to have you hurt. Clark please just let it go.” Just this once.

He looks up to meet her eyes. “Lana something is seriously wrong with Lex. He is like a brother to me, I need to find out what’s wrong with him and help him.” The sooner I find out what’s wrong with him the sooner the drama ends…At least I hope so.

Letting out a frusturated sigh, Lana finally gives in. “Fine.”

Clark notices Lana’s frusturated expression, and figures he needs to make her feel better, needs to comfort her. “Lana,” He pulls her into a hug. “I promise I will be careful. I’ll be back later, okay?” I hope that comforted her enough to let me go without a fight.

Lana snuggles into Clark’s embrace. “Okay, just stop by later so I can make sure you are in one piece.” I already have a feeling he will be okay, but I love his company.

Clark steps out of their embrace. “I’ll see you later then.” It feels good to know Lana cares so much. I should listen to Pete more often...Man I feel like we are already a couple, which isn't a bad thing

Standing on her the tips of her toes, Lana surprises Clark with a kiss on the cheek. “Bye.” Wow, well that was a bold move. I hope I’m not blushing.

Clark puts a hand to the cheek that was just graced by Lana’s lips. “Wow…I will definitely be back later.” If it means getting another kiss, I would just live here.

Lana laughs at Clark’s cuteness. “Shouldn’t you be going now?” Not that I mind.

Snapping out of his ‘Lana Trance’ Clark finally starts backing away towards the door. “Right, sorry. So yeah I’ll see you later.”

Lana watches Clark leave the Talon, in hoping to find Lex in time. I love him so much, I wonder when is a good time to actually tell him that.

In the corners of Lana’s eye, she notices Pete walking up to her. “Hey Pete.” I forgot that he was here.

“Hey Lana, what’s up with Clark’s? Why did he leave?” What is that alien friend of mine up to now?

Finally tearing her eyes away from the door, Lana explains to Pete. “Oh, he thinks something is going on with Lex, so he left in hoping to find out exactly what is going on.” But he’ll be back later…Maybe I should close the Talon early.

Pete takes a seat at one of the counter stools. “Okay then. Yeah Lex has been acting very weird lately huh? Weirder then usual.”

Lana also takes a seat at one of the stools. “You’re one to talk.”

“What are you talking about.” I am nothing like Lex…I mean I can actually grow hair.

Lana sees a German book in Pete’s backpack, she takes it out and decides to use it as evidence. “German, Pete? I mean come on, you have been acting weird lately also.”

Pete grabs the book from Lana. “Hey, I’m just trying something new. Is that a crime, I mean at least I’m not getting drunk.” Well at least I don’t think I got drunk.

Laughing at Pete’s sudden defense, Lana explains. “Yes that’s true, and I am thankful for that. It’s just it seems that ever since Travis’ death, people have been acting differently.” I wonder if Travis’ death is what caused Clark to finally ask me out.

Understanding what Lana is talking about, Pete prepares himself to come to Clark’s defense. “By people, you mean Clark?” I know them all to well.

Wide-eyed at Pete’s comment, Lana tries to hide it. “What, I don’t know what you mean.” Yes I do, and Pete probably knows too.

Pete laughs as he notices the blush developing on Lana’s cheeks. “Lana, you don’t have to hide it from me. I know you probably think that Travis’ death is the reason Clark finally got the nerves to ask you out.” I made my move, now what’s your next move Lana?

Lana gives into Pete. “Alright, fine maybe I was thinking that, but can you blame me? I mean I can’t help but wonder if Clark still would have had the guts to ask me out if Travis’ didn’t die.” Rubbing her eyes quickly, in order to avoid any unwanted tears. “I’m probably just being over dramatic.” Like always, right?

Pete puts a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Hey, listen I understand what you’re saying. True, Travis’ death did give Clark that extra push, but you have no idea how long Clark has been wanting to ask you out. I believe it’s like ten years now.” Or is it eleven?

Lana stands up, and offers Pete and small smile. “Thanks Pete. You’re a good friend.”

Pete starts to pack up his stuff again. “Yeah that’s what I have been told. Listen I got to go, tests to study for, and ‘Z’s’ to catch, I’ll talk to you tomorrow.” It’s going to be a long day tomorrow.

“Yeah I got to get back to work anyway.” Lana moves around the counter. “I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye Pete.”

“Bye.” Pete’s walks out of the Talon and see’s Clark entering one of Lex’s many cars. Good luck man.

CH 15
GOOD IDEA?






||OUTSIDE THE TALON WHILE PETE AND LANA TALK||



Clark runs out of the Talon in time to try and catch Lex. Okay let’s see…bald head, bald head…

Catching the glare that casts off Lex’s noggin, Clark yells to grab his attention. “Lex!” Is this really a good idea? It’s not too late to turn around and walk back into the Talon.

Lex whips around in the direction where the voice came from, and finds that it is pointed straight to Clark. Hmm, maybe he changed his mind…sweet! “Hey Clark! Finally deciding to have some real fun huh?”

Giving one last longing look at the Talon, Clark walks up to Lex. “Yeah I guess. So umm where exactly are we heading to?” Please not a strip bar…please!

Lex unlocks his fabulous car. “Don’t you worry your pretty little head.” He gets into the car and gestured for Clark to do the same. “By the end of the night, you’ll feel like a completely different person.”

Clark buckles his seatbelt and says sarcastically, “Yeah that doesn’t sound shady at all.” Am I going to be drugged or something?

Lex laughs out loud while looking in the mirror. “I’m surprised you even know the word shady Clark.” He turns to see a fuming Clark. “Chill man okay? Were going to this new place that just opened up in Metropolis.”

Only relaxing a little Clark continues his interrogation. “Have you been there before?”

Lex finally stops looking at himself in the mirror. “Nope I haven’t. Why?” So many questions…hey shouldn’t it be the other way around.

Clark just tightens his seatbelt. “Well you made it sound like you have been there before.” S-H-A-D-Y

Putting the keys in the ignition Lex starts the car. “No I haven’t been there; I just heard from someone that you enter the place yourself but exit as someone else. Doesn’t that sound exciting?” This is going to be one hell of a night.

Clark sees Pete waving to him across the street. “Oh yeah…Sounds like a barrel of fun.” Clark sadly waves back at Pete as Lex zips down the street.

Pete just stand there watching Clark and Lex speed down the street. I hope he knows what he is doing. Clark may think he is dangerous to be around, but if anything Lex is a greater danger...



<Sorry this update is extremely short, but in order to get to the good stuff I had to get this chapter out of the way :rolleyes: ...Im hoping to have another update between tomorrow and Sunday ;)...but we shall see :p>

CH 16
CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT






After a never ending three hour drive to Metropolis (it seemed that way to Clark), Lex’s car comes to a stop.

Clark reads the blue flashing sign on the building. “Magic Stix? Is this the place you were talking about Lex?” Well…I guess it looks cool.

Lex just simply grins at Clark and begins to exit the car. “Isn’t great? Oh, Clark you will be so glad you came with me instead of spending another boring night in Sucksville.” Oops did I say that?

Lex pops the trunk to his car, and pulls out a leather jacket. “Here. They won’t let you enter a cool place like that, without a little ounce of fashion sense.” At least he is not wearing plaid.

Clark nervously smiles, puts on the jacket and follows Lex to the front of the line outside of the club. Maybe I should have stayed in Sucksville…I mean Smallville.

Clark notices the annoyed looks he and Lex were getting as they continue to make journey to the front of the line. “Umm, Lex? I don’t think those people are too happy with us.” This is kind of awkward.

Chuckling, Lex just walks up to this freakishly large man who had, a scar on his left cheek to his neck and a buzz cut. Lex whispers something in his ear and pulls back handing him a hundred dollar bill. “You got it?”

The bouncer looks at Lex to Clark. “So that’s the guy?”

Lex looks behind his shoulder and says. “Yep, that’s him. Just make sure you got it. Clear?”

The bouncer nods and reaches for his walkie talkie. “Yeah KJ, the bald eagle is here…Yeah he has Franklin here with him…Okay come here, take him and his punk friend in and make sure you get them some red…Cool.”

Attaching his walkie talkie back onto his belt, the bouncer explains to Lex. “Alright, everything is set sir. Have a pleasurable time.”

With that said, another guy comes out looking just like the bouncer except a little shorter. “Come with me Mr. Luthor.”

Clark and Lex are escorted inside the club, where neon blue and green lights are flashing, red lasers are pointing in every direction and with music so loud that it could easily rupture your ear drums.

Clark attempts to yell over the music. “Lex, what is this place?”

Lex laughs and yells back to Clark. “Well it’s a club Clark. I mean come on.”

Clark looks over to the bar and notices shot cups lined up from one end of the bar to the other. Inside the shot glasses, was some kind of neon red Jell-O of some sort. Clark looks around the club and sees that at almost every table there is that same shot glass with a Jell-O in it. Some blue, green, clear, yellow, or red.

He taps Lex’s shoulder to get his attention again. “Lex what is in those shot glasses?”

Lex turns around and sees Clark pointing to the bar. “Well, the best way to find out is to go try it yourself.” If I just told him what would be the fun in that.

The man that has been leading Clark and Lex has finally come to a stop, in front of a table holding some shot glasses with red Jell-O. “Here we are Mr. Luthor.”

Lex pulls out a fifty dollar bill and hands it to the man. “Thank you now beat it.” Let the fun begin!

Clark just continues staring at the red substance, not able to tear his eyes from it. It’s like its calling out to me.

Noticing Clark’s fascination with the red Jell-O, Lex picks a glass up and hands it to Clark. “You know…Curiosity killed the cat.”

Clark breaks his stare to look up at Lex. “But will this red Jell-O kill the cat?”

Laughing Lex puts the glass in front of Clark. “You won’t know until you try.”

Why is it so alluring? “Well, maybe one glass won’t kill me.” Clark picks up the glass, already feeling some type of reaction from the red Jell-O. I don’t know what I am feeling…But I sure as hell like it!

As Clark downs the glass, Lex picks up his own glass and downs it, just as Clark did. “Now the real fun should begin.”

Red shimmers in Clark’s usual blue eyes. “Oh yeah, let the party begin.”

[<Nimrod>]

CH 17
WHAT WAS THAT?






“Hell Yeah!” screams Lex as Clark continues speeding down the street.

Clark smirks, “Hold on to your money Luther…We haven’t even started yet.” Clark stomps on the acceleration.

Lex is jerked back by the sudden increase of speed. “That’s what I’m taking about!” What a rush!

Lex watches the building and houses flash by them. “Where has this Clark Kent been hiding? I mean this Clark is so much awesomer then the original one!” Is awesomer even a word…Oh well I’m Lex Luther I can do whatever the **** I want.

Clark leans back in his chair. “What makes you think this isn’t the original Clark Kent.”

Laughing, Lex replies back. “Well who ever the hell this is, there much better then the farm boy.”

“What? Don’t tell me you weren’t a fan of the plaid.” Clark makes a screeching left turn down the main street.

Lex spots the Talon coming up and decides to test this new Clark out. Time to have some fun. “No I’m not, but I think I know someone who is.”

Clark looks where Lex is staring at and laughs at his friends idea. “Oh you’re being mean Lex.” This should be entertaining.

“What’s new?” Lex leans back in his chair.



||NEXT DAY||


Ow why does my head hurt?

Clark sits up and examines his surroundings. “I’m in a middle of a field?” What’s going on?

As he moves to stand up, bottles fall from him. “Beer? What the hell is going on here?”

Just as Clark finally succeeds in standing up, a huge head rush takes over and Clark screams in pain, and clutches his head.

Clarks eyes snap shut and flashes appear.

“What’s the matter Lana? I mean I’m just asking you to come have a drink with me, not to jump off a bridge or something.” Clark reaches to touch Lana.
Lana slaps his hand away. “I think you should just leave Clark.”

-------

Clark walks out of the Talon and runs into Chloe.

“Hey Clark.”

Clark just looks at her with annoyenss. “Oh hey Chloe.”

“Well it’s nice to know I’m loved.” Chloe just gives him a look of discust and tries to move past him.

An idea pops up and Clark quickly grabs Chloe’s arm. “Hey I didn’t mean it like that. Why don’t I make it up to you and buy you a drink?”

Chloe breaks her arm free of Clark’s grasp and shoves him away. “I’m not playing that game again Clark Kent. Just go away Clark.”

Chloe opens the door of the Talon and leaves Clark alone on the street.

-------

“Are you sure you’re 18?” The clerk continues examining the “ID.”

Clark quickly grabs the booze and the ID. “I think I know my own age, dickslap.”

-------

“Cheers to a life of blood, sex and booze!” Says the mystery man.

Knocking his beer can with his Clark replies with a simple. “You said it.”

-------

The pain subsides and Clark comes back. “What was that?”





<more to come>




CH 18
TRUE OR FALSE





After shaking away the head pain, Clark speeds home in hope of finding some answers. I hope the stuff I saw wasn’t real.

Clark storms through the door. “Mom?”

He looks around the kitchen before entering the living room. “Mom?”

Just as Clark was about to turn around he finally sees Martha slowly walking down the stairs. “Clark? Or is it Kal?”

Kal? “Mom it’s me Clark. Who’s Kal?”

Martha reaches the end of the stairs and hesitantly walks towards Clark. “Is it really you Clark?”

Clark steps forward and touches his mothers shoulder. “Mom what’s going on here?” Did someone hurt her?

Martha lets out a sigh of relief and hugs Clark. “Oh Clark I was so worried. When I didn’t see any red meteor rock I…”

“Red meteor rock?” Clark pulls away from his mom to look in her eyes. Did I hurt her?

Martha steps away from Clark and randomly looks around the room to avoid looking in her sons eyes. “You were acting so strangely.” Deep breathe. “You were acting like you were the first time you came in contact with the red meteor rock, but when I looked for our favorite rock I couldn’t find anything and it scared me. It just scared me knowing that maybe it was really you.” Don’t cry Martha, keep it together.

Clark hugs her to comfort her. “Mom, I don’t exactly know what happened, but this is me not some crazy red meteor rock Clark.”

Martha hugs Clark back. “Well that crazy red meteor rock Clark kept calling himself Kal.”

[]iWeird name.“So what exactly did happen? I mean something had too have happened if you’re this freaked out.” I seriously hope I didn’t hurt her.

This time Martha is the one to break the hug. “You mean you seriously don’t remember?”

Clark looks down and stuffs his hands in his pockets. “All I can vividly remember is going with Lex to this club.” Did Lex have something to do with this? “Everything after that is kind of a blur.”

Martha goes to sit down on the couch. “But when you are effected by red meteor rocks don’t you usually remember what you did?” Oh no what if there is something else that makes Clark act this way?

Sitting next to Martha, Clark decides to come clean about the morning. “Well when I woke up I had these like flashes, but I was hoping they weren’t true.” Even though it seems unrealistic.

Turning her attention towards her son, Martha starts questioning. “What did you see in these flashes?” Hopefully nothing to bad.

Leaning back in the couch, Clark starts to tell his mom about the flashes. “Well in one I was at the Talon having like a fight with Lana. Then it went into me having a fight with Chloe. After that it showed me buying booze with a fake ID. The last flash was me talking with someone in a middle of a field drinking the booze.” I hope the Lana and Chloe flash weren’t true.

Martha reaches to hold Clark’s hand. “Who were you with in the field?” I wonder if it was Lex.

Clark lets out a frusturated sigh. “I don’t know, his face was blackened out. Though when I woke up this morning, I woke up in a middle of a field with beer bottles piled on me.” Why is my life so complicated?

After a minute of silence Martha finally speaks. “Well I think you know what you have to do.”

Clark looks up at Martha. “What?”

She stands up and pulls Clark with her. “You have to go find out what happened.”

Clark puts the brakes on his feet. “No way.” I’m scared. “What if that stuff really happened and Lana and Chloe wont even talk to me?” Oh no.

Martha continues pushing her son towards the door. “Clark you know you have to straighten this out. I know you and if you don’t figure this all out I know it will bother you.”

Finally giving in Clark takes his own step towards the door. “Fine.”

“Good.” Martha watches Clark walk towards the door.

Before opening the door Clark turns around towards his mom. “Wait. What did I do to you? Anything really bad?” Please say no.

Martha gives Clark a loving smile. “Nothing to worry about now. Maybe once you finish getting to the bottom of this, I’ll tell you what your uglier half did.”

Returning his moms smile Clark finally opens the door. “I love you mom.”

“I love you too. Now go to it.”

Clark walks out of the house, and when he is finally out of view Martha walks back over to the couch. “Sometimes I worry about that boy.”





<hope you enjoyed it>

Poor Clark! I guess ingesting Red-K has a slightly more potent effect than just having a piece close by.

And now he is in trouble again with Lana and Chloe. I'd be afraid to talk to them next morning, too...:lol:

CH 19
SWING OF THE BROOM






Well, here I go. Clark opens the Talon door. So far so good.

The second the door is open all the way, Clark is being whacked at the head by a broom.

“I told you to not come back Clark Kent!” Lana holds the broom like someone would hold a sword.

Clark raises his hands in defense. “Listen, I know this is going to sound really pathetic, but I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Oh no.

*SLAP*

“Clark you can’t honestly think I would believe that crap.” Lana raises the broom yet again. “Now get out.”

Even though the slap didn’t hurt him, Clark still held his cheek as if it did hurt. “Lana believe it or not I am telling the truth.”

*SWING*

Clark ducks the force of the broom by just an inch. “Clark I’m not stupid. I know it was you, and I remember every stupid word that came out of your stupid mouth. I even have it on tape.” Stupid jerky farm boy.

Clark puts a hand on his head out of pure frustration of the situation. “Lana I really don’t remember.” Please don’t swing. “All I remember is waking up in a middle of a field.” Please don’t swing.

Lana lowers the broom. “And that’s all you remember?” Should I believe him?

Seeing that Lana is calming down, Clark goes to sit down. “Well when I woke up I did have some random flashes.” Clark pauses. “I think one of them was with me here, in the Talon offering you like a beer or something.”

Lana followers Clark and sits down. “Go on.”

“Then you told me to leave.” Well she looks pretty calm.

Lana leans back in her chair. “That’s it?”

Clark leans forward in his chair. “That’s it.” Please believe me. “Lana I know that I probably did hurt you pretty badly yesterday, but I don’t remember. I really don’t remember.”

Lana looks around everywhere, but Clark. “Well then do you remember what you did to Chloe or Pete?” I don’t know if I should believe him.

He starts to scratch the back of his head. “Well I remember pretty well what I did to Chloe, I think.” Again Clark pauses to think. “I don’t remember doing anything to Pete though.” Crap, just when I thought things were getting better, I hit rock bottom.

Lana stands up and reaches for the broom, only this time she actually uses it to sweep the floor. “Clark, you hurt all of are feelings. At first we all thought you were drunk, but we didn’t smell anything and you had good motor skills.” Maybe he was high.

Clark continues sitting where he is, not wanting to risk entering Lana’s personal space. “Well I’m pretty sure I wasn’t drunk, at least when I talked to you guys.” I did find beer cans when I woke up.

Not even stopping what she is doing, Lana just simply asks. “What is that suppose to mean?”

At this Clark stands up, but still allows Lana to have her space. “When I woke up this morning I was surrounded by beer bottles, but when I ran into you guys I probably wasn’t drunk.” I didn’t even know I could get drunk...Wait can I?

Lana stops sweeping and turns around to face Clark. “If you weren’t drunk Clark, then what happened?” He better not lie...I'll slap him and hit him with this broom if he does!

Clark walks up to Lana. “It’s complicated.”

Throwing her arms up in frustration, Lana turns her back to Clark. “Everything is always complicated with you.”

Clark barely heard what Lana said as everything around him started becoming dark. “Lana...” Clark fell to the floor and is out cold.

Hearing a loud thump, Lana quickly turns around. “Clark!” Oh no…I wasn’t that mad at him!

Lana runs over to Clark, and kneels by his side. “Clark?” She gives a light tap on both his cheeks, attempting to wake Clark up. “Clark?” What should I do?



Meanwhile, Clark was having yet another flash…

Clark walks up to Lana who is mixing up an order. Her back is turned. Clark kisses her on the neck. “I only need five minutes tops, to make all your dreams come true.”

Stunned Lana says. “Excuse me!”

Clark turns her around to face him. “You heard me, the love of your life is here. Now don't make me wait...baby.”

Lana is completely stunned by Clark’s odd behavior. “Clark, are you ok?”

Clark just laughs at her little concern. “I have never felt better baby.” He looks around and stops an empty booth. “Want to go to a deserted part of the Talon so we can discuss our future? Our hot, sweaty future.”

Clark tries to go in for a kiss, but she turns away. “I’m working.”

Clark drops his head in frustration. “Come on baby you did it for Whitney. Let me get a chance to get some of that good stuff.”

Lana is now very offended. “What did you say mister? You have no right to instate that I did anything with him and I won't with you either.”

Clark laughs. “You will miss the time of your life.” Clark moves closer to her. “You’re to uptight.” He rubs her arms up and down. “You need to loosen up.” Then he offers her a beer.

She turns around quickly. “Clark what are you doing? I am to young to be drinking…You are to young to be drinking.” She goes to reach for it, in hopes of getting it away from him.

Clark raises the beer high enough to be out of her reach. “Chill out baby.” He then drinks the beer right in front of her.

She is now very angry. “Clark if you’re going to drink, then go do it somewhere else, with someone else.”

He calls her Miss Frigidaire, walks away and sits down with some girls on the other side of the Talon.


Clark snaps up, almost hitting Lana on the head. “What happened?” He starts rubbing his forehead, in hopes of making his new headache leave.

Lana sighs in relief, just happy that he woke up. “I was hoping that you would have that answer.”





<Well I hope you guys all had a sweet Halloween....I should have another update ready by tomorrow or Friday...hopefully tomorrow>

I loved it more!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[happycamper]

"Complicated" is definitely a word Clark should avoid using around Lana.

I vote for the jello shots. But more importantly, did Lex knowingly provide them? And where is Lex, anyway?

CH 20
GOT TO SOLVE A MYSTERY








Lana sets a cup of coffee in front of Clark. “So are you going to explain to me what happened there?” He scared the crap out of me.

Clark takes a sip of the steaming beverage. “I think it was another flash of memory.” This is good coffee.

Sitting down, Lana lets out a little frustrated sigh. “Care to give a little more detail?” More of a command then a question.

Clark leans back and begins to explain his theory. “Well this morning, when I woke up I got a really bad headache then these images flashed before me. At first I thought it was nothing, but my mom kind of helped me figure out that what I saw was true.” Stupid alien weirdness.

Lana follows Clarks movements and also leans back. “So if you just had another ‘Flash’ then what did you see this time?”

Looking everywhere, but at Lana, Clark starts to explain. “Well we were here at the Talon and I was basically acted like an *******.” Stupid alien behavior problems.

“Well I can vouch and say that yesterday you did come here and you were an ass.” Lana takes a breather to calm down. “What I don’t get is why you can’t remember acting like a jerk when you claimed to not be drunk? Were you on drugs?”

Clark’s eyes widen. “No…I mean yes…Wait no I wasn’t…I don’t really know.” Clark runs his hands through his hair in frustration.

Lana takes a sip of her own coffee. “Well how about we start with what you do know.”

He looks up at Lana with a semi confused look. “What do you mean?”

Lana sets down her cup again. “Work with what you do remember.” That should work.

Clark’s eyebrows scrunch together trying to remember. “I remember going with Lex to this new club…I think it was called Magic Stix.”

“Okay that’s a good start. Now what happened when you got there?” Lana takes another sip.

Clark intensely looks at his coffee cup. “I-I don’t remember…” This is so frustrating!

Lana reaches over and pats Clark’s hand. “Hey, it will be okay.”

Clark snatches his hand away from Lana’s and quickly stands up. “No Lana this is so frustrating! I mean from what I have heard so far, I was a complete ass!” Clark pauses. “I have to figure out what happened.” My head feels like it’s going to explode!

Lana gets up and walks up to Clark. “I know it must be frustrating for you Clark, but you won’t figure out anything by throwing a fit.” She grabs onto his hand again. “Just sit down with me and calm down for a bit.”

Clark allows Lana to drag him over to a couch. “Lana aren’t you suppose to be angry at me? I mean from what I remember, it seemed like I was the worst to you, so disrespectful and mean.”

Lana turns around to look into Clark’s eyes. “I’ll admit I was furious at you, but now I know that it wasn’t really you.” She pulls him down to the couch to sit next to her. “That guy yesterday referred to himself as Kal and he was a jerk who didn’t follow rules, and was just plain rude.” Lana lovingly puts a hand on Clark’s cheek. “But you are Clark, a cute, lovable, funny, caring, heroic guy.” So cute.

Clark blushes a little at Lana’s words. “So you really think I’m cute?” He grabs her other hand.

Lana laughs at that. “I think you just proved my point.”

He laughs along with her. “Well if I’m cute then you Lana Lang are adorable.”

This time Lana is the one to blush. “Really?”

Clark smiles. “I have never been more sure.” Clark pauses. “Listen Lana, umm…Maybe after I get everything straightened out, would you still possibly be interested in going out with me?” Man and I thought the first time asking her was hard.

To let Clark know her answer, Lana leans in and kisses him on the cheek. “I would love to, but only after you get everything figured out.” I hope that’s soon.

Clark reaches up and touches his kissed cheek. “Well that just gives me even more motivation to solve this mystery.” Wow. “Umm I guess I should get to work.”

Lana stands up and helps Clark up. “Yes you should.”

Clark walks with Lana to the door. “So any ideas of where I should start?” I don’t want to leave.

Lana stops and thinks. “Well I suggest Chloe or Pete. I don’t exactly know what you did to Pete, but Chloe almost as hurt as I was last night when I talked to her.” Clark might get ***** slapped by Chloe if he’s not careful.

Clark nods along with what Lana said. “Yeah I did have a vision of what I did to her, I just hope what I saw was the only thing I did to her.” I’ll probably get ***** slapped by Chloe if I’m not careful.

Lana leans up again and gives him another kiss on the cheek. “Good luck.”

Clark blushes again. I have to stop blushing so much. “Thanks.” He opens the door. “I’ll be back after I talked to Chloe or Pete.”

“Okay. Bye.” Lana reluctantly lets go of Clark’s hand.

Clark reluctantly lets Lana let go of his hand. “Bye."

THIS SUCKS





*KNOCK KNOCK*

“Hello! Mrs. Kent! Clark!” Where is everybody?

*KNOCK KNOCK*

“Anybody home?” Man where are they? I got a serious bone to pick with Clark…or should I say Kal.

Just as Pete turns around, he spots a sports car zooming down the Kent driveway.

“Lex?” Oh just great.

Lex makes a sudden stop and opens the car door. “Hey!” As he exits the vehicle, beer bottles fall from him and are seen everywhere. “Oops…” Hehe.

Pete rolls his eyes. “Hello Lex.” What could he possibly want?

Lex looks at where the voice is coming from. “Hey Petey!”

Pete walks towards his own car. “It’s Pete.” Loser.

Lex follows Pete. “Oh I know that lameoid, but this sound cool-e-er.” Ha-ha that’s not even a word.

Again Pete rolls his eyes at Lex. “As much as I would love to stay and…” He pauses and watches Lex drink yet another beer can. “And continue this intelligent conversation, I got to go.” I don’t know if I like the creepy rich boy or the creepy drunk better.

Lex throws the beer bottle at the ground. “Wait…Petey!” He laughs, until he sees Pete about to enter his car. “Wait, I’m sorry.” Not really.

Pete rolls down his window, and sighs. “What do you want Luthor?” I got to find Clark.

Lex leans against Pete’s car. “Well I’m looking for Clark.” He smirks. “Or should I say Kal.” Hehe what a sweet name.

Pete turns to look at Lex so fast that you’d think he was the one with super speed. “How do you know that name?” That bald loser.

Looking at his nails, Lex casually explains. “Well that’s what the farm boy was calling himself yesterday.” After he had that pretty red shot…Those were good.

Pete shoves open his door. “I should have known.”

Lex backs away from Pete’s car and grins. “Known what, Petey?”

Pete grabs Lex by the collar. “That you had everything to do with Clark acting like an ass!” He pushes him away. “What did you do to him Luthor?”

Lex brushes off his shoulder. “I didn’t do anything…” He looks up at Pete with a wicked smile. “Who knew Clark was such a drinker, tsk tsk…” This will be fun.

Turning away from Lex, Pete tightens his fist then turns to punch Lex straight in the face. “Stay away from him, you bald son of a *****!” Damn Luthor.

While smirking, Lex whips the blood from his lip. “You shouldn't have done that Petey.” He reaches for something in his pocket.

Laughing, Pete jokes. “What are you going to do? Huh? Are you going to give me a paper cut with you money?” Ah nice one Ross.

Lex pulls out the object. “Not quite.” He stabs Pete in the arm with the same screwdriver he stabbed Mr. Kent with. “I warned you Petey.”

Pete falls to the ground clutching his arm. “You-you’re sick!”

Lex is the one to laugh this time. “And you just figured this out?” Some more laughing. “Well I’m off to find my new buddy Kal. Take care, Ross.”

Pete just lays there watching Lex speed down the driveway. “This sucks.”




<ahh the plot thickens...MWUAHAHA:lol: ...sorry the update is so short though>:(

[Clarkfan3000]

please update. haha poor petey

[<Nimrod>]

CH 22
DEAL







Clark comes to a stop in front of Pete’s house. “Well…okay I can do this.”

Just as Clark was about to walk up the steps to the door, he notices Pete’s car is gone. “He must not be here then.”

Clark speeds away.



||KENT FARM||



In the distance Clark sees a lone figure. “Who is that?”

Clark speeds up and finally recognizes the person. “Pete!” Oh no, first my dad now Pete.

Pete looks for the owner of the voice. “Clark?” Please don’t let it be Kal.

Clark goes to reach for Pete. “Pete what…” Just as he was about to finish his sentence, his head aches all to familiarly. “Not now…”

Clark falls to the ground.

Pete shoots up, dispite the pain in his arm. “Clark!” Oh man what do I do?

Clark’s eyes are moving around rapidly as he expericences another flash.

Pete reaches to open the Talon door, but before he got the chance someone shoves the door open, and out comes Clark Kent with a blond bimbo hanging on his right arm.

Not believing what he is seeing, Pete feels the need to ask. “Clark?” He looks over at the girl. “Umm…I thought that you would still be out with Lex.”

Clark looks at Pete. “It’s Kal now.” He moves his hand down to the girl’s ass and pinches it. “And why would I be with Lex when I could spend my time with…”

The girl looks up at Clark slightly annoyed. “Candy.”

He puts his arm around her. “Well that makes sense, considering you taste very sweet and juicey.” Clark gives her ass another pinch.

Pete awkwardly looks between the two. “Umm Candy’s not Lana.”

Clark laughs. “Wow Pete, you figured that out all by yourself too.”

Candy laughs at Pete also. “Oh god, Kal let’s get out of here.”

Putting his arm around Candy, Clark starts to walk away. “Later Ross.”

Pete grabs Clark’s arm. “Clark this isn’t you.”

Clark practically snarls at Pete. “Let go Pete.”

Pete walks in front of Clark, refusing to back down. “What’s up with you? This isn’t you man!”

Clark pushes Pete aside. "You don't know the real me! This is the ****ing real me Pete, so back the **** off!"

As Clark walks away Pete continues yelling. “Clark…or Kal what about Lana?”

Clark turns around and smirks. “She’s too much of an annoying *****…Candy here doesn’t complain one bit.” He looks at Candy. “Do you baby?”

Candy smiles up at him. “Nope.” She pulls him down for a kiss.

Clark springs up and knocks Pete to the ground. “Pete?”

Pete lets out a sigh of relief. “Man Clark, you sure know how to scare a guy…It is Clark right?”

While rubbing his head, Clark sits up. “Yeah it’s me. I assume you are worried it would be some Kal guy right?” It is a pretty sweet name.

Pete looks away from Clark. “Yeah, but I can tell you’re Clark.” Awkward pause. “So are you okay now?” I mean I thought Clark was invincible.

Just as Clark was about to answer, he notices blood on Pete’s arm. “Yeah I’m fine, but Pete umm…What happened to you?”

Looking down Pete quickly remembers the last few hours. “Oh wow, I can’t believe I would forget about this.” He reaches for his keys and throws them to Clark. “You want to help me out here?”

Clark quickly helps Pete over to his car. "What happend to you man?"

Pete buckles his seat belt. "I'll tell you later, just the way, you'll tell me about Kal later."

Clark nods before starting the car. "Deal."

Clark drives out of the Kent farm and down to the hospital.

CH 23
WHAT DID HE DO?








“That should do it.” The doctor goes over to the sink and washes his hands. “Now I don’t want to see you back here for a while Mr. Ross, clear?”

Pete puts his jacket back on. “You got it doc.” Stupid Lex.

After the doctor leaves the room Clark turns to look at Pete. “So how should we do this?” He reaches for his pocket and pulls out a quarter. “Should we flip for it?”

Pete laughs and hops off the hospital bed. “I don’t think it works that way.” He opens the door and walks out, with Clark trailing behind. “I say you go first.”

Clark puts his quarter away. “What? How come?” That doesn’t seem fair.

As they exit the hospital, Pete stops to look for his car. “Maybe because I have a good feeling that whatever happened to me, is connected to what happened to you.”

Clark points over to Pete’s car and starts walking towards it. “Well I guess that seems logical.” He pulls out Pete’s car keys. “You driving?”

Pete snatches them from Clark. “Yeah I think I can handle that.” He unlocks the doors. “So where do you want to have this heated conversation at?” The loft.

Clark opens the door. “How about the loft?” My own sanctuary.

Pete chuckles as he gets into the car, and buckles up. “I know you so well man.” For a guy who is so mysterious, he is so predictable.

Looking over at Pete, Clark asks. “That’s a good thing right?”

Pete starts the engine. “I think so.” He backup and heads towards the hospital parking lot exit.

Clark playful shoves Pete. “What ever man.”

Pete and Clark speed out of the parking lot and head back towards the Kent Farm.



||CLARK’S LOFT||



After watching Clark pace for a bit, Pete finally breaks the silence. “Anytime is good.” Anytime in the near future would be nice.

Clark stops pacing and looks at Pete. “Sorry. I guess I’m still a little confused myself.” More like a lot confused.

Pete spots something at the corner of his eye and goes over to it. “Well how about you start with this.” He holds up an empty beer bottle.

Clark blushes a little. “Would you believe me if I said I don’t know?” I don’t even know if I believe me.

Pete drops the bottle. “After last night I don’t know if you’re at the top of my trust list.” He was a complete ass.

Going over the couch Clark sits down. “I only remember bits and pieces. They all seem to be coming back in like flashes.” Man it’s even harder to explain.

Pete continues standing by the window. “Flashes? Clark man I think you are watching to many Sci-Fi shows.” Actually I shouldn’t really doubt him considering he is an alien…Weird stuff happens to him all the time.

Running his hand through his hair, Clark tries to continue. “I don’t really know how to explain it any better.” He pauses for a second. “When I woke up this morning I had like a flash and when I was at the Talon I had another one, but I ended up blacking out like I did here.” I’m so weird.

Pete leans against the wall. “What do you see in these…umm…flashes?”

“I’m pretty sure what I see in these flashes are like memories from last night.” Clark stands up and stretches. “Like when I had the flash at the Talon, I explained what I saw to Lana and she said that was exactly what happened.” He starts pacing. “It’s almost like it’s all starting to come back.”

Pete’s watches Clark pace back and forth, almost making him dizzy. “Well what did you see when you blacked out here?” It’s never straight forward with Clark.

“Well I saw you and I get in a fight in front of the Talon, and I was with like a girl named Candy.” Clark stops pacing. “Wait.” He takes a deep breathe. “Lana didn’t see Candy did she?” Oh dear nimrod.

Pete laughs as the colour of Clark’s face turns to a ghost white. “Don’t worry man I don’t think she say you swapping spit with the blonde bimbo.”

Clark almost gasps at Pete’s words. “Little harsh Pete.” Wait….actually he seems on the dot.

Pete gives Clark a ‘oh come on’ look. “Are you sticking up for the person who could have possibly ruined any future chances at Lana…I mean Clark not even more then twenty four hours and you already turn weird on her, and everyone else.” He takes a breather. “Don’t screw this up man. I know how long you have waited to go out with Lana and I don’t want you to ruin it.” At least not so quickly.

Clark smiles at his friend. “You’re a good friend Pete.” Probably the best. “I promise I wont screw it up.” I will do everything in my power not to screw things up.

Looking down at the now broken beer bottle Pete gets back on topic. “Have you talked to Chloe yet?” He might get ***** slapped by her if he’s not careful.

Clark follows Pete’s gaze and meets it at the broken beer bottle. “No not yet. I had a vision with her in it. I think I ran into her and asked her to have a drink with me but she said no and then like we got into a fight.” I’ll get ***** slapped.

Pete touches his injured arm. “I think you’re biggest problem to face right now is Lex.”

Clark looks at Pete, with a confused look. “What did he do?” Things just keep getting better.

Just a lot of confusion for Clark. But how come niether Clark nor Pete have figured out that it must have been red-K? I would have thought acting crazy and calling himself Kal would have given everything away...;)

Clark has to face the music with Chloe, and avoid messing everything up with Lana!

||LEX’ MANSION||



Clark storms into Lex’ office, almost breaking off the door. “You stabbed Pete!” That jerk.

Lex swallows the last of his Jack Daniels. “Maybe…” The fun is about to begin…Hmm would he hit me?

Clark walks up to Lex and grabs him by the collar. “What is wrong with you Lex? Why are you acting like this?”

Lex scratches his chin pretending to think. “I don’t know…Maybe there is something in the water supply.”

Just as Clark was about to push Lex back, he notices something very strange looking on Lex’ desk. “What is that?”

Lex follows Clark’s gaze and smiles at what he is looking at. “Ah that? Well that is my new little pet.” Though he is kind of ugly.

Clark lets go of Lex and walks over the Lex’ desk and picks up a jar that is containing a worm like thing. “Is it alive?” It is really ugly.

Still smiling evilly, Lex walks over the Clark and grabs the jar from him. “Oh hell no, this thing is as dead as my own mother.” Oh so true.

Clark awkwardly looks over at Lex. “Uh Lex…” Wow awkward.

Lex laughs at Clark’s expression. “Oh come on Clark, I’m a big boy, she’s dead…Now I thought you wanted to know more about this little pet of mine.” If I could, I would pet it.

Clark takes a step back from Lex. “Well actually I’m here about…”

Lex cuts off Clark. “Yes well we found this worm in the cave.”

Clark runs his hand through his hair in frustration, but still asks Lex some more questions. “We?” All I wanted to do is ask about the Pete thing, and maybe go by the Talon, but NO of course nothing is that simple.

Putting the jar back on his desk, Lex turns back to Clark. “Well more like Dr. Walden found it, but I paid for it.” He walks over to his mini fridge. “Want a drink Clark?”

Ignoring Lex’ question, Clark continues with his own. “Did he only find one worm?” Does Lex know I’m only sixteen, there for I can not drink…Not that I would after what happened last night.

Lex is putting together two drinks. “Oh well apparently there was a whole nest of them, but I guess rest of them left.” Lex hands Clark a drink.

Looking down at the red glowing drink, Clark tries to explain. “Lex, I’m only sixteen.” Why would a drink be glowing?

Lex laughs at Clark’s comment. “Well thank you for that math lesson Clark, but this drink isn’t alcoholic.” Well at least I don’t think so.

Clark continues looking at the glowing drink. “I don’t know Lex…” I just came by for answers not a drink.

Lex takes a sit on his couch. “Tell you what, if you have a drink with me, I’ll answer what ever questions you have.” I might lie though…Oh well Clark lies all the time anyway, so why can’t I?

Clark looks at the drink to Lex. I do need answers, and if this is the only way…"Bottoms up?”

Lex gulps down his drink. “All right, let’s get started then.” Whoa hoa…PARTY ALL THE TIME!

Clark slowly drinks the red glowing substance.


<5 MINUTES LATER>


Clark fills up his glass again. “Okay okay, I got a great question.”

Lex finishes up his fourth glass. “Okay hit me…But not really.”

Both Lex and Clark laugh at that.

Clark plops down on the couch. “Okay what car are you going to let me use?”

Lex accidentally drops his glass. “Why would you need a car Clarkie boy?”

Clark gets up and helps Lex over to the couch. “Well I can’t go to clubs on foot now can I?”

Lex thanks god that he made it to the couch without blowing chunks. “Well okay I guess.” Lex reaches into his pocket and throws some keys to Clark. “Here you go Clarkie boy.” Whoa I think I need a bucket.

Clark dangles the keys in front of his eyes. “Thanks buddy.” I wonder if he knows that he won’t get his car back.

Lex watches Clark walk towards the door. “Didn’t you want to know about Pete?” Not that I care.

Clark turns around, just as he comes close to the door. “Not anymore.” He notices Lex face become very pale. “Have a fun night of throwing up.”

Just as Lex was about to say something, he covers his mouth. ****.



||NEXT DAY||




Clark wakes up with another killer headache. Why does my bed feel like there are sticks poking out?

Clark springs up. “Oh no!” NOT AGAIN!

He looks around at his surroundings at notices that he is at Crater Lake. “This can’t be good.”





<feeling so evil...have a nice sunday>:D

[SVsleuth]

Oh, no! Clark should have known better than to drink that stuff again! - the Big Dumb Alien! Stop being so evil and update again very soon. ;)

[basketballstar23]

great...clarks a real genuis...drinking something from lex..whats wrong with him...b.f.s.h..(big fat stupid head) :lol:...yeah...clark had better snap outta it!

[happycamper]

The extent of Clark's idiocy is boundless here. At least I hope he will learn to associate wild Kal evenings with drinking with Lex...

But if he's hurt Lana again... :mad:


:D :D

[clana_never_give_up]

Clark needs a new brain!!!!

Can't he see it's the red drink..

He's brainless!!!!

CH 25
HAPPY HUNTING







||CRATER LAKE||






Clark looks around, until someone caught his eye. “Pete?” Thank god I'm not alone!

He gets up and jogs over to a passed out Pete. “Pete!” Clark kneels next to him and starts trying to shake him awake. “Hey man, wake up!” He’s a really heavy sleeper I guess.

Pete begins to open his eyes, but then quickly closes them again due to the bright light. “Ah man, my head hurts like hell…”

Clark shakes Pete again. “Hey, don’t fall asleep again.”

Pete opens his eyes. “Clark? What are you doing in my room?” This is weird.

Clark lets out a sigh. “Pete…we’re at Crater Lake.”

Pete springs up, but quickly regrets that. “Oh whoa, feeling dizzy.” I think I’m going to blow chunks.

Clark stands up also. “Pete, do you remember how we got here?”

“I doubt he does, he drank a lot last night.”

Both Clark and Pete turn around to see where the owner of that voice.

Pete’s the first to speak up. “Chloe?” He looks Chloe up and down. “What’s with the new style?” She looks hot.

Chloe laughs. “You weren’t complaining last night.” She winks at Pete.

Clark joins Pete’s disbevieling. “Chloe can you explain to us why were at Crater Lake?” She looks a mix between Goth and emo…

Chloe saunters over to Pete and Clark. “I’m surprises you can’t remember, I mean it was your idea to come here.”

Clark rubs his eyes. Note to self: Never take a drink from Lex Luthor…EVER! “Chloe, can you just tell us?”

Chloe grins. “Or what, you going to shoot fire out of your eyes at me?”

Pete and Clark’s jaws practically drop to the floor, and they both begin to nervously stutter. “W-What?” Oh man.

Chloe walks up to them, and looks at Pete. “Last night was all about the booze…” She looks at Clark. “And the secrets.”

Clark continues to stutter. “Wh-what are y-you talking ab-about?” Oh man.

Chloe grabs a beer can on the ground. “It’s amazing what a can of beer can do to a person…I mean the words just fly out of there mouth after one sip of this.” His face is so red.

Just as Clark was about to ask another question, his head begins to hurt. “Not again!” He grabs his head in pain. It’s getting worse!

He passes out.


Clark speeds down the road in Lex’ mustang. "This is so great!"

Just as he was turning the corner he spots Chloe coming out of the cave. “Now what is she up to?”

He pulls up in front of Chloe, blocking her path. “A dark creepy cave is no place for anyone…”

Chloe smiles down at Clark. “Then why is this place like your second home?”

Clark unlocks the door. “Because I’m not like everybody else.”

Chloe takes the hint and gets in the car.

He starts up the engine again, and hastily makes it down the road.

Clark wakes up with a worried Pete staring down at him. “What?”

Pete points to Clark’s nose. “I didn’t know that you could bleed.”

Clark looks at him strangely. “I don’t think I really can.” What’s going on?

Pete leans back. “Here use this.” He hands Clark a napkin.

Clark takes it. “What’s this for?” Just as he said that, blood dips down from his nose and onto his shirt. “Oh whoa.” This is new.

Pete just sits with Clark. “She left.”

Clark holds the napkin to his nose. “How long was I out?”

He looks at his watch. “About twenty minutes.” Something very weird is going on.

Clark takes the napkin off his nose and feels that his nose is done bleeding. “These flashed are coming harder, I think.” They really hurt.

Pete helps Clark up. “Well from what I remember of last night, I remember you acting like you did two days ago.”

Clark looks at the lake. "Do you know how Chloe know my secret?"

Pete shoves his hands in his pockets. "No I don't? What are you going to do?" I hope she doesn't tell anybody.

Clark fiddles with the napkin. "I don't know yet. I'll deal with it later." She better not tell.

Rubbing his head Pete just nods his head. "Just don't wait to long."

Clark looks at Pete. “I didn’t happen to see Lana yesterday did I?” Oh please say no.

Pete looks down. “Yeah you did.” This is going to be hard.

Clark slaps his hand to his face. “Oh no…Do you know what I did?”

Pete looks at Clark this time. “Okay before I tell you I want you to hear me out.”

Sitting down, Clark prepares himself. “Okay…” He’s being cryptic.

“Once I tell you, you have to promise not to run to Lana right away.” Pete sits down also.

Clark looks at Pete curiously. “Why?”

Pete puts a comforting hand on Clark’s shoulder. “Because I guarantee you that she will probably end up killing you.” That won’t be pretty. “I think before you talk to Lana you should figure out what’s going on first.” Seems like a good plan.

Clark lays his head in his hands. “What did I do?”

Pete looks down at a stick. “You kind of…umm…got in a fight with her…”

Clark looks up. “That doesn’t sound so bad.”

Pete continues looking at the stick on the ground. “After you kissed Chloe in front of her.”

Clark falls back. “Oh please tell me you’re lying!” I might die right now.

Pete takes a step back from Clark. “Man something is up with you, and I think before you straighten things out with Lana that you should straighten things out with yourself.”

Clark kicks a beer can on the ground. “You’re right…but I mean what’s going on with me?”

Pete looks out at the lake. “It’s not just you; Chloe and Lex are acting weird too.”

He snaps his head up at Pete’s comment. “Wait Pete you’re right they are!”

Pete starts to connect the dots. “Clark I got it!” I’m super smart, go Ross, go Ross!

Clark turns towards Pete. “Well…” Don’t leave me hanging.

Pete excitedly looks at Clark. “Chloe and Lex are acting unusual, just like Travis was in the cave.”

Clark takes it from where Pete left off. “And all three of them must have gotten into something that is making them act this way.”

Pete sits down. “But what though? Where have all three of them been recently?” My head hurts again.

Sitting down next to Pete, Clark joins him in the thinking.

After a minute of nothing, both of them yell out. “The Caves!”

Pete changes his look of excitement to confusion. “But what could possibly be in the caves that are making them act like that?” The cave paintings?

Clark thinks hard. Wait… “When I went to Lex’ yesterday I remember him showing me this like worm thing he found in the cave, maybe they got like bitten by it.” That might be it.

Pete runs his temples in order to cure his head ache. “But wait…Why were you acting weird though?” Another mystery.

Clark thinks about that for a minute. “Well before each time I went psycho Clark, I remember having a drink with Lex.” That red glowing drink.

Pete stops rubbing his temples and looks at Clark. “You trusted Lex to get you a drink?” Wow, that was pretty stupid of Clark.

Clark rolls his eyes. “Lay off Pete.” I was pretty stupid trusting Lex.

Pete stands up. “How about I go check out the drink thing, and you go check out the worm thing?” That sounds like an awesome plan, if I do say so myself.

Standing up, Clark agrees. “Okay that’s cool. How about we meet at my loft tonight.” This should be interesting.

Pete begins to walk away. “Happy hunting!”

[happycamper]

No need for a third strike with Clark - thank goodness! He really was stupid to accept drinks from Lex.

And he did hurt Lana. Idiot!

Do these new bugs lack the adrenaline-junkie aspects of the original - it seems to only cause its victims to act crazy.

CH 26
STEP ONE: FIND BALDY








“Okay…Step one: Find Baldy.” Pete pulls into the entrance of the Luthor mansion. Where, oh where can my little baldy be…

Just as Pete was about to get out of his car, he sees Lex in his Porsche pulling out of the driveway.

Pete gets back into his car, and starts to follow baldy.

After about twenty minutes of driving, Pete notices that they are headed straight for Metropolis. Should I really follow him? He thinks for a second then speeds his car up and stays on Lex’ trail. I need answers and I’m sure I’ll find them by following this loser.

After another two hours of driving, Lex comes to a stop in front of a bar. This better be worth my while. He gets out of his car and is greeted by the same bouncer from a couple of days ago.

Pete watches as the bouncer leads Lex into the bar. It figures that a drunken loser like Lex would lead me to a bar. He gets out of his car and approaches the entrance.

After seeing that Lex was safely inside the bouncer goes back to his post and notices a punk coming his way. “Hey no kids allowed.” Little brat.

Pete flashes quite a bit of money under his nose. “I’m no kid.”

The bouncer eyes the money and slowly opens the door. “Follow me.”

Pete gets taken into the bar. Well there’s baldy. He takes a seat at the bar, not to far from where Lex is sitting.

Lex orders a red drink. “My early morning fix!” Who needs coffee when you got this stuff?

Pete laughs at Lex, and just orders a rum and coke. This should be entertaining.

Twenty minutes later, we have a plastered Lex, waving around his drink. “This is so much better then coffee dude!”

Pete slowly moves closer to Lex, feeling safe that the baldy is wasted. “Hey, Lex how you doing?” Lex is one funny drunk.

Lex is totally wasted. “Petey?” He walks, or stumbles over to Pete. “Whats you doing here Petey?” Haha there’s two of him.

Pete looks at Lex’ oddly red glowing drink. “Oh well…umm…You know just came out here for a drink.” What kind of drink is that?

Lex waves around his drink, almost spilling it on Pete. “Ah yes well this is the best place to do this.” He moves closer to Pete, and whispers. “This place has got some pretty special stuff.” Special like me.

Interesting. Pete leans closer to Lex. “What kind of special stuff?” This is great! Note to self: When you need some answers, just hand Lex a drink.

Lex throws his arms into the air. “What isn’t special?” He picks up his drink. “The drinks are special!” He picks up some peanuts that were lying on the table. “The food is special!” He points over to a random waiter. “Hell even the waiters are special!”

Pete takes a sip of his drink. “How are they special?” This is too easy.

Lex leans back. “Well Peter, they impart everyone who eats and or drinks them with a feeling of extreme happiness and releases one from all inhibitions.” I’m soopa smart.

Peter? “Is that possible?”

Lex springs up and points his finger at Pete. “You bet there ass it is!” He sits back down and takes another sip. “I mean look at Mr. Goody Tu-Shoe.”

Pete looks at him strangely. “Who?” Is he talking about Clark?

Lex chuckles. “Goody Tu-Shoes Pete! Mr. Uptight!” He still notices Pete’s confused expression. “You know…Clark!” Jeez what a moron!

Pete nods. “Oh okay then.” Wow.

Lex throws some peanuts in his mouth. “Yeah I finally found a way to make that uptight farmer loosen up. Isn’t it great?” I’m so giddy. “It was sweet to see the guy relaxed! I was so happy about it I bought a special stash of the special drinks just for him.” He grabs a few more peanuts. “He really relaxes after he has a fix of those special red drinks.” He lifts up his own glass of the red drink. “Pretty cool don’t you think Petey?”

Pete just looks at the red drink. “Yeah.” Not wanting to blow his cover Pete goes along with Lex. “You know I would love to see Clark loosen up.” He takes a hold of Lex’ red drink and inspects it. “What’s in them that makes them so special?”

Lex takes the drink back and gulps rest of it up. “I don’t know Petey.” I should know though. “Wait Petey let’s find out what’s in them!” He looks around then spots a waiter. “Hey!”

The waiter walks over to Lex. “What do you need Mr. Luthor?”

Lex whispers something in the waiter’s ear.

The waiter smiles down at Lex. “Be right back sir.” He runs into the back room.

After waiting for two minutes the waiter finally comes back, with a man following behind him. “Mr. Luthor I believe this man will have some answers you are looking for.”

Lex hands the waiter a five dollar bill. “Thank you Greg.”

The waiter takes the five dollars. “Uh it’s Joey sir.”

Lex looks at the waiter. “Does it look like I care?” Jeez…service these days.

The waiter shakes his head and walks away. What a jerk.

The man that was following the waiter takes a seat and offers Lex his hand. “The names Pat, I’m the person that mixes the drink and fixes up the food.”

Lex shakes the man’s hand. “So care to tell us your secrets Pat.”

The man looks down then up at Lex. “I am sorry Mr. Luthor I can not reveal the secret. It’s like Cornel Sanders eleven herds and spices…it’s a secret recipe.”

Lex rolls his eyes and reaches inside his pocket. “This should change your mind…Pat.” He holds a few hundred dollar bills under Pat’s nose. “I bet your favorite colour is green, am I right Pat?”

Pat adjusts his tie. “I could be mistaken about the recipe being secret.” He grabs the money from Lex. “Follow me gentlemen.”

Pat leads them into the back room where the process of preparing the recipes are being carried out. “Here we are.”

Pete picks up a box found on the counter. “Jello?”

Pat walks over to Pete and takes the box away from him. “Yes it is needed for the drink.”

Lex walks up to Pat. “What else is needed in the drink?”

Pat walks around the kitchen and picks up a few more things. “Well the drinks mainly need Jello, food colouring, and artificial flavoring.”

Lex looks down at the ingredients. “That’s it?” He picks up the box of Jello and throws it. “I want my money back!” This is stupid. “There is nothing special about Jello!”

Pat picks up the box of Jello. “Keep your pants on Luthor.” He across the room, over to a silver mini fridge. “The secret ingredient is about to be added.” He opens the fridge and pulls out a clear container.

Pete reads the label that is on the front of the container. “Processed and crushes meteor rock.” I knew it.

Pat opens the lid. “This is what makes the drinks special.”

Pete leans forward, along with Lex and sees red rock powder. Red K, no wonder Clark is affected by this red stuff. He looks over at Lex, then back to the red rock powder. I have to warn Clark. “Well this was fun.” He looks down at his watch. “Oh wow look at the time I should get going.”

Just as Pete was about to make an exit, Lex grabs a hold of his arm. “Oh come on now.” He grabs a red jello drink and hands it to Pete. “The fun is just starting Petey!” He can’t leave now.

Pete looks towards the door then back at Lex. “I really need to go though…I mean I got homework to do.” When did Lex sober up?

Lex chuckles. “I won’t take no for an answer.” He grabs another glass on the counter. “Cheers.” He gulps the whole thing down. “See everything is fine.”

Pete looks down at the drink. Maybe if I wait for him to get drunk again…

Lex notices Pete’s hesitance. “Just one drink and then you can go.”

Pete finally takes a sip of the drink, ready to just go home.



||20 MINUTES LATER||



Lex is laughing at a passed out Pete. “Who knew you were a heavy drinker Petey.” He drags Pete out of the bar and to Pete’s car. “Here we go.” He closes the door and walks over to his car. This was fun. Lex starts his car and speeds back down to Smallville.




<Im hoping to have another update finished by today, but Im kind of feeling sick so hopefully it will be up by latest tomorrow night> :)

CH 27
TRUST ME







Okay my head hurts. Pete sits up. “Where am I?” After a second of looking around he finally realizes he is in his car. Oh right Lex. I am just as stupid as Clark for taking a drink from Lex Luthor.

Pete reaches inside his pocket and pulls out his keys. “No use dwelling about that now…I have to get to Clark.” He puts his car in drive and heads back to Smallville.



||KENT FARM||



Martha walks into the kitchen and sees he son having a starring contest with the clock. “Clark?”

Clark takes his eyes off the clock long enough to look over a Martha. “Oh hello mom.”

Martha looks over at the clock, Clark seems so interested in. “Is there any particular reason why you’re having a starring contest with the clock?” I worry about him sometimes.

Getting up, Clark walks over to the fridge and takes out a can of Mountain Dew. “Well Pete went out to look for Lex…”

Martha sits down at the table. “But…”

Clark joins Martha at the table. “But that was over twelve hours ago.”

Martha nods her head. “I’m sure Pete is fine.” I know he is.

Clark gulps down the Mountain Dew. “Yeah, but mom Lex is dangerous.” He gets up to get another can of Mountain Dew. “We think something is affecting him…and Chloe.”

Martha stands up and moves towards Clark. “Chloe?” I feel out of the loop.

Clark nods his head and opens the can of soda. “Yeah, she’s acting strange like Lex.” He takes a sip of the drink. “We also think we know what has been making me act very weird.”

Martha goes over to the sink and gets a glass of water. “Do you care to explain further?”

Clark puts the now empty can down. “Well I can’t really explain anything until Pete gets here.” Where is he?

Martha takes a sip of her own drink. “Well I’m sure Pete will be walking through that door any minute now.”

With that said Pete barges through the door. “I got it!”

Clark looks over at his mom. “You’re good.”

Martha grins and walks over to the kitchen table to grab her purse. “The power of a mother.” I haven’t lost my touch. “Well I’m off to visit your father.”

Clark looks at Pete then to his mom. “Do you want us to come?”

Martha shakes her head then walks towards the door. “No, you two solve this mystery. I’ll be back later.” She waves goodbye to Pete and Clark then walks out the door.

Pete watches Martha get into her car and pull out of the Kent farm. “Do I want to know what just happened?”

Clark chuckles then leads Pete over to the couch. “I’ll tell you later…Right now is the time for more important things.” He sits down.

Pete continues standing. “Yeah.” He pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket and hands it to Clark. “Here.”

Clark takes the piece of paper. “What is this Pete?”

Pete points to the paper. “Open it.”

Clark opens it and sees that it’s a list.

<1>- Jello Mix
<2>- Food Colouring
<3>- Artifical Flavoring
<4>- Red Kryptonite

Clark looks up at Pete. “Is this a list of ingredients…”

Pete finishes Clark’s thought. “To that special red drink? Yeah.” I’m so awesome.

Clark looks it over again. “Wait does that mean Lex knows what it does to me?” Oh ****.

Pete sits down across from Clark. “No, see what’s weird is that this drink effects everyone.” Trust me.

Clark folds the paper back up. “How do you know?”
Pete sighs. “That’s why I’m kind of late.” He pauses. “Lex kind of made me have one…which lead to another.”

Clark laughs. “And you called me stupid for accepting a drink for Lex?” The tables have turned.

Pete punches Clark’s shoulder. “Shut up man.” I already feel stupid enough.

Ignoring Pete’s comment Clark continues laughing. “I’m sorry man but this is funny.”

Pete smirks. “Hmm…I wonder if you would still be laughing if this happened to Lana…” Bullseye.

Clark immediately stops laughing. “I’m done now.”

Pete laughs at Clark’s expression. “Looks like Clark Kent has two weaknesses…Kryptonite and Lana Lang.” The tables have turned again.

Clark rolls his eyes. “Shut up Pete.” He watches as Pete continues laughing. “I should head out to the cave now.”

Pete wipes the tear away from his eye. “Yeah okay man. I’ll catch you later.” He waits for Clark to exit the house, before he starts cracking up. “Ah wow.”

Clark opens the door again. “Pete!”

Pete is so startled he falls to the floor. “Not cool dude.” Stupid Clark.

Clark chuckles at Pete. “Yeah whatever…” All of a sudden Clark grabs his head.

Pete’s playful expression was immediately replaced with concern as he watches Clark fall to the ground. “Clark!” Not again.

Pete pores some beer into his coffee, making it Irish. “You want some of this guy's?”

Clark and Chloe are too busy making out to respond or even notice Pete.

Pete hears the bell on top of the Talon door ring. “Oh no.”

Clark and Chloe break the kiss. “What Pete?”

Clark looks over and sees a very sad Lana standing there. “Oh it’s just her.”

Chloe stands up and moves over to sit on Pete’s lap. “Your turn Pete.”

Clark stand up to talk to Lana, but she pushes past him and walks into the backroom crying. “Fine. Her lose.” He sits down and laughs at his to friends sucking face.

Clark opens his eyes and feels something wet running down his cheeks. Reaching up he touches his cheeks and then brings his hand in front of his eyes to see. “Blood?”

Pete comes running in with a hand full of paper towel. “Oh good Clark your awake.” He hands Clark the paper towels. “Here, clean your self up.”

Clark rubs the paper towels all over his face cleaning off the blood running from his nose. “We need to figure this out soon Pete.” I feel awful.

Pete sits down next to Clark on the floor. “I take it the last vision had to do with Lana?” Only Lana can make him feel this way.

Clark pulls the towel away from his face. “Yeah…She saw me and Chloe making out.” He stands up. “Just when things were going so well for us, something like this happens.” Something always goes wrong.

Pete joins Clark in standing up. “You know even if we do figure things out, how are you going to explain this to Lana? I mean Chloe is infected by something so she has an excuse, but you my friend don’t.” He could tell her the truth.

Clark looks down and notices blood on his shirt. “You’re right.” He walks over to the kitchen, gets a wet towel and starts to wipe some of the blood off of his shirt. “I don’t know what I’m going to do.” This sucks.

Pete sits down at the table. “Well I know one thing you can do.”

Clark snaps his head up. “What is it?”

Pete fiddles with his buttons on his jacket. “You could always tell her the truth.”

Clark solemnly looks down. “You know I can’t do that Pete.” Maybe there’s another way.

Standing up, Pete walks over to Clark. “No ones stopping you Clark. If you ever hope to have a chance with Lana, eventually you will have to tell her.”

Clark walks past Pete and rinses off the towel. “I can’t.” It’s too hard.

Pete continues standing where he is, not bothering to look at Clark. “You can’t have Lana and keep your secret from her, Clark.” He moves towards the door. “You’re going to have to choose.” He opens the door and walks outside.

Clark throws the towel away.

CH 28
STEP TWO: FIND THE SOURCE






||THE CAVE||




Clark turns on his flashlight. “Okay Step Two: Find the source.” He looks around the cave for any sign of weirdness.

Something has to be here. Travis, Chloe and Lex are all acting alike and they were all at some point in the cave. As Clark continues looking around he notices something that catches his eyes. “What’s this?”

Just as Clark was moving towards the wall, a light is flashed in his eye. “What the…” Spinning around he sees a guy holding a flashlight.

“Clark?” Pete walks towards Clark. “What are you doing here man?”

Clark relaxes. “I came here to see if I can find something weird.”

Awkward pause.

Clark is the first one to break the ice. “Listen man I’m sorry about earlier.” He had some good points.

Pete takes a step forward. “I am too man, it’s not my place to tell you who you can and can’t tell your secret to.”

Clark simply nods. “So what are you doing here?”

Pete pulls something out of his pocket. “I found this in the Torch office.”

Clark takes the piece of paper and reads it. “An autopsy of Travis?” Kind of gross.

Grabbing the paper back from Clark, Pete looks over it. “Yeah they were trying to figure out if he was taking drugs or was drinking at all.” Here comes the weird part.

Clark waits for Pete to continue. “And…”

Pete smirks. “They say he wasn’t on any substance, but they did find a bite mark on his neck.”

Laughing Clark takes the paper out of Pete’s hands. “Like a vampire bite?” It wouldn’t surprise me…I mean it is Smallville.

Pete laughs with Clark, but then gets back to his point. “No, more like a parasite bite.”

Clark stops laughing. “A parasite bite?” That’s weird.

Pete nods his head. “Yep. And since I knew all three of the weirdo’s were at some point at this cave I decided to check it out.”

Clark just nods. “So you think Lex and Chloe were bitten by a parasite too? I mean how would we know?”

Pete gives Clark a ‘come-on’ look.

Clark blushes. “Oh right.” X-Ray…forgot about that.

Pete continues looking around.

Clark thinks back to yesterday. “Wait Pete I think you might be right.”

Pete turns around to face Clark. “Huh?”

Clark walks back up to Pete. “Yesterday at the mansion, Lex showed me this worm thing that Dr. Walden found in this cave.”

Pete starts to connect the dots. “So you think some worm that lives in this cave is making people act…” Uh what’s the word?

“Crazy?” Clark flashes his light around the cave to look for some type of clue.

Pete joins Clark in the search. “Yeah pretty much.” He notices a crack in the cave wall. What’s this? He moves closer.

Clark sees Pete moving closer to a wall. What’s going on? He looks at the painting on the wall. “A painting of a worm.”

Pete nods his head. “Looks like we found out where they come from.” Well this wasn’t so bad.

Clark high fives Pete. “Alright!” Great, step two completed.

Pete celebrates for a minute before realizing something. “Uh Clark?”

Clark looks away from the painting and looks at Pete. “What?”

Pete scratches his head. “How do we get the worms out of Chloe and Lex?”

Clark looks down. “Oh.” Crap.


||TWO MINUTES LATER||


Clark looks up. “Well I guess we can just take them to the hospital to get them removed.” That’s it.

Pete shrugged his shoulders. “I guess so.”

Clark claps his hands together. “Great now all we got to do is round them up.” Shouldn’t be to hard.

Pete starts to walk out of the cave. “Now…Who has to find whom?”

CH 29
FIX THIS







Clark is standing outside the Talon. I should have picked Lex. He reaches out for the door, but then stops himself. “Maybe she’s not in there…Pete could have been wrong.”

After standing there for another five minutes Clark finally opens the door and slowly walks in. I hope Pete was kidding when he said Lana would kill me.

Looking around he sighs, relived he doesn’t see Chloe or Lana around. Well I should be going. Just as he turns around he runs into someone. Oh nimrod!

Lana looks up to see who she ran in to. Not him.

Clark is shaking a little from fear as what is to come next. Should I say hi? “Hey Lana.”

Lana pushes past Clark. “I thought I told you to stay out of my life, Clark.” He just never gives up.

Clark shoves his hands in his pocket. “Lana what happened…You have to understand none of us were ourselves.”

Lana laughs. “I want you to leave Clark. I’ve heard your excuses before, and they are really getting old.”

Taking a chance, Clark takes a step towards her. “Lana, you know me…That wasn’t me.”

Lana looks away holding back tears. “No, I don’t know you…” She looks at Clark. “I don’t think I ever really did.” She walks towards the counter and puts her purse down. “Now leave Clark!”

Clark slowly turns around, and moves towards the door. I can’t give up. He grabs onto the door handle. “I’ll fix this Lana. I’m not giving up.” He opens the door and leaves the Talon.

Lana just looks down at her purse, absorbing what Clark just said. “I hope he can fix this.”


||OUTSIDE THE TALON||


Clark stands in front of the Talon absorbing what just happened. “I hope I can fix this.”

He walks down the street, continuing his quest at finding Chloe.


||TORCH OFFICE||


Clark walks into the Torch hoping to find Chloe. “Hey Chloe do you think…” He looks up from his watch and see’s Chloe in the middle of a lip lock with some random dude. “Oh wow.” Just look at the floor…the nice, non-sexual floor.

Chloe breaks the kiss after hearing a voice. She looks over at the door and spots Clark Kent starring down at the floor. “Oh hey Clark.” Maybe he came to have some fun.

Chloe looks back at the unknown guy. “We’re done now.” Old news.

The guy eyes Chloe up and down. “Can I get your number?”

Chloe made a look of disgust. “Why? The fun’s over.” She laughs at him as he leaves the Torch rejected.

Clark finally looks up from the floor. “Umm who was that?” This can’t be anymore awkward.

Chloe walks closer to Clark. “Why do you want to know?” She continues stepping closer to him. “You’re not jealous are you?”

Clark steps away from Chloe. “No. I’m not.” Maybe I should just grab her, shove her in the truck and drive to the hospital.

Chloe laughs. “What do you need Clark?”

Clark coughs. “Well I need you to come with me.” I wonder how Pete’s doing with Lex.

Smiling, Chloe starts to walk closer to Clark again. “And where might you be taking me to?” Hopefully his room.

Whatever let’s just get this over with. Clark steps closer to Chloe, and leans in to whisper in her ear. “You will find out soon enough.” With that said, Clark flicks her head, which knocks her out. That was easy. He catches her before she falls to the ground.

Setting her down on the ground, Clark X-Rays her to see if Pete’s and his conclusion was correct. Worm…worm…where is the worm? Looking at her stomach area, he sees a creature swimming around. “Eww.” Well at least I didn’t flick her unconscious for nothing.

Clark picks her up and takes carries her to his car. I hope she stays asleep the whole way there. Jumping in the driver’s seat, Clark starts the car. “Let’s get this done with already.” He pulls out of the school parking lot and speeds to Smallville Medical Center.




||SMALLVILLE MEDICAL CENTER||


Clark fiddles around with the phone cord. “Yeah she just came out of surgery...She’s fine…Because the doctor told me…When will you get here?”

“Right now.”

Clark turns around and sees Pete walking closer to him. “How did you get here so quickly?” He hangs up the phone.

Pete closes his cell phone. “By car.”

Clark gives Pete a look. “Thank you captain obvious.” Sometimes I think he’s six, not sixteen.

Pete walks down the hall with Clark. “So is she awake yet?”

Clark laughs at his friend. “Pete, she just came out of surgery.”

Pete looks over at Clark, but continues walking. “…Well is she?”

Clark shakes his head at his naïve friend. “Since she JUST got out of surgery, she’ll probably be out cold for a few hours.” He’s got it bad.

Stopping in front of Chloe’s room, Pete turns to face Clark. “So everything went okay right?” Please say yes.

Clark grabs a hold of Pete’s shoulder. “You always tease me about having it bad for Lana, and yet look at you.”

Pete gives Clark a confused look. “What are you talking about?”

Clark chuckles. “Oh come on, I know you have it bad for Chloe.”

Pete blushes. “No I don’t.”

Clark smirks. “Pete Chloe got out of surgery ten minutes ago.”

Pete shrugs. “So…”

“…So you were at the Talon.”

“So…”

“Pete it takes fifteen minutes to get here by car.”

“So…”

Clark turns Pete around and pushes him towards the door. “So…You got it bad.”

Before Pete can respond to that, Clark opens the door and pushes Pete inside and closes starts to close the door. “I’ll be back in a little bit.” Clark closes the door.



<have a nice day>:D

CH 30
YOUR CHOICE







*KNOCK KNOCK*

Clark opens the door. “Hey mom.”

Martha turns around in her seat. “Clark? What are you doing here?” Not that I mind the company.

Clark pulls up a seat next to Martha. “How is he doing?”

Martha holds Jonathon’s hand. “He’s just taking a nap. The doctors say that he should be able to go home in a few days.”

Clark puts a comforting hand on Martha’s shoulder. “That’s great news mom.” I can’t wait to talk to him.

Martha rubs her eyes then turns her attention towards Clark. “So you never answered my question.”

Clark looks down at the floor. “Chloe’s here…”

Martha nods her head. “I guess they got that parasite out of her.”

Clark looks up at Martha with a surprised expression. “How did you know?”

Martha stands up to get a glass of water. “Pete explained it to me…and Lana.”

Clark’s eyes widen at the mention of Lana’s name. “Lana?”

Sitting back down, Martha explains to Clark. “I don’t really know what kind of fight you two are in, but she stopped by to drop off some flowers for your father.” It was very sweet.

Clark looks over at the flowers sitting on his dad’s side table. “When was this?”

Martha takes a sip of her water. “Pete stopped by a couple hours ago; about five minutes after Lana arrived.” She puts her water down on the table. “I think it was when you were out looking for Chloe.”

Clark nods his head. “That would make sense.” I really need to fix things with Lana. “So do you and Lana know everything?”

Martha shakes her head. “Well I do, but Lana doesn’t know about the red kryptonite drink.” She looks at her son as his face turns sad. “I take it she has seen the wrath of Kal.”

“Twice.” He runs a hand through his hair. “Pete thinks I should tell her the truth.”

Martha just simply nods. “That’s your choice.” Pete’s a smart boy.

Clark looks at Martha, almost pleading for an answer. “But by telling her she’ll be put in danger.” I can never let her get hurt.

Martha laughs. “Clark it’s Smallville, there’s danger around every corner.”

Clark looks down at his hands. “What if she doesn’t except me?” That’s my worst fear.

Martha leans forward and grabs a hold of Clark’s hand. “If you ever want to know the answer to that question, you’re going to have to take a risk and tell her.” Then they both will be happy.

Clark looks up at his mom. “Thanks mom.” He hugs her. “I’ll see you at home.” I got some thinking to do, that’s for sure.




<yeah this is short....but hey I wrote a lot yesterday>

[happycamper]

Sorry, I missed multiple updates...:(

Loved them all! Now that the cause of Clark's actions are known, he can avoid the red-K jello shots.

But what is he going to do with Lana? She needs the truth to understand why Clark acted the way he did. Like both Pete and Martha told him, it's Clark's choice...

I just hope he isn't an idiot here...:mad:


:D :D

CH 31
IT WASNT A DREAM






||CHLOES ROOM||


Chloe opens her eyes. This isn’t my room. She looks to her right then shifts her eyes to the left and sees Pete, with his head in his hands. “Pete?”

Pete springs his head up. “Chloe!” He stands up, excited to see her awake. “Are you feeling okay? Do you want some water?”

As Pete turns to go retrieve some water, Chloe reaches out and grabs his hand. “I’m fine Pete.” That’s really sweet of him to worry.

Pete sits down again. “So you feeling okay?” He continues holding onto her hand.

Chloe looks down at there intertwined hands. “I am now.”

With perfect timing, Clark walks through the door. “Chloe it’s good to see you awake.” Did I walk in on something?

Chloe looks over at Clark, with a weird expression. “Wow you know I had the weirdest dream with you in it.”

Clark and Pete look at each other nervously. “About me? What was it about?” Hopefully not about me getting hit in the head by a baseball bat.

Chloe sits up a little. “It had you getting hit in the head by a baseball bat.” She laughs. “Weird huh?”

Pete and Clark both look around the room, anywhere but at Chloe.

Clark is the first to speak. “Actually Chloe there’s something you should probably know…” If I’m going to tell Lana the truth I might as well start with Chloe.

Pete snaps his head towards Clark, giving him a ‘what-are-you-doing’ look. “Uh Clark?” He pulls Clark away out of Chloe’s ear shot. “What’s going on?”

Clark looks down at the floor. “I can’t keep hiding this from everyone. Beside that I don’t want to have it remain a secret from all my closest friends anymore. If I continue like this I am going to end up alone.” He looks up at Pete. "You were right when you said that I needed to tell Lana, I probably have already lost her forever no matter what I tell her, so I might as well take the chance.”

“Clark…” Pete tries to put a comforting hand on Clark’s shoulder, but he rejects it.

“So it really doesn’t matter anymore I just don’t want to end up alone, because I shut everyone out for the sake of keeping my secret. Enough is enough.” I told Lana I would fix this.

Pete puts a hand on his forehead, feeling a little confused. “Clark, you aren’t making any sense. Don‘t do anything and don’t say anything until you have had some time to think about it, please. That Red K drink it’s done something to you. You are not thinking rationally.” At all.

Clark raises his voice a little. “Pete, I have to tell her, I want to tell her.” I have to do this before I lose all my courage.

Pete whispers harshly. “Clark, that’s just crazy…You can’t tell her or anyone else.” I shouldn’t have given him any ideas.

Clark lowers his voice back down to a whisper. “I can’t live like this any longer, Pete, I tell Chloe first and then I’ll have to face Lana. There is no way around this. I will just take my chances.” For once.

Chloe takes this opportunity to interrupt them. “What are you two whispering about? If this is about a secret, count me in I love secrets! You don’t have to worry…I can keep a secret better than anyone I know!” Kind of.

Clark begins to walk over to Chloe. “Well, it is a secret Chloe, probably the biggest secret you will ever hear.” No turning back now.

Pete tries to pull Clark back by his arm. “Clark, please stop!” He pulls a little harder. “Please think about the repercussions of what you are about to do. All that I ask Clark is that you…”

Clark tugs his arm out of Pete’s grasp. “I know what you are about to say Pete and I have thought about it. It’s constantly on my mind and I am tired of hiding it. It keeps me from being close to the one I love or want to love. I don’t want to continue living this lie and certainly don’t want to end up alone.” That would suck.

Chloe looks at both of them like they have grown an extra head. “What are you two talking about? Neither one of you are making any sense.” Confusing.

Pete gives up. “Okay CK you da Man, it’s your call, but only if you are one hundred percent sure Clark? I don’t know…I still don’t agree.” Why did I have to put ideas in his head?

Clark sits down at the edge of Chloe’s bed. “Chloe…” Clark asked. “What do you remember of that dream?”

Chloe thinks for a minute. “Well we were in the loft. The three of us were there playing around and Clark…You and Pete were wasted, but I didn’t smell any alcohol. I asked what you had been up to and you joked about letting of some steam. Pete joked about finding a way to even get you to loosen up Clark. When I asked Pete just how he managed to do that, he just laughed and threw me a bottle of this red liquid.” Chloe pauses. “I asked about the mixture, and you said you didn’t know, Pete.” Weird.

Clark nods letting her know to continue.

“After you both assured me that there weren’t any drugs in the mixture…I drank some. From that moment on, I remember nothing. The only thing that I recall is this dream. Please tell me what is going on, please!” I’m so confused.

Pete moves closer and pulls up a chair next to her bed. “Well Clark, I have never seen you like that. You were pretty out of it. Wasted might be a better description.” But still hot.

Chloe continues with her story. “You and Pete began to joke about powers. You were pretty wasted, both of you, but Clark…You hadn’t been drinking, but something was going on…you were completely different. Yes, you were completely different.” Lack for a better word.

Clark is now curious. “What do you mean different?” Maybe I won’t have to tell her much.

Chloe looks around almost in confusion. “Clark, it was like all of your inhibitions were removed. You laughed and joked like never before.” It was kind of refreshing to see that side of Clark.

Clark nods along. “Is there anything else?”

Chloe looks down for a minute before looking up at Clark. “Well I asked about these powers. When I did you and Pete just laughed. I turned to leave the loft, saying if you are going to laugh at me, I am going to leave.” It was kind of mean. “As I was leaving you called me back, but I decided to get out of there and kept walking, but then Clark, you said something that caused me to stop dead in my tracks.”

Clark looks over at Pete. “What did I say Chloe?” This is getting interesting.

Chloe rolls her eyes for a moment. “Well flannel boy you said, that you never expected to see Super Chloe leave and miss out on the greatest story of her life. Hearing that I turned around and said okay spill.”

Pete puts a hand on Clark’s chest, stopping him. “Wait Clark, not so fast. First give her another drink of this.”

Chloe excitedly nods her head. “Yes Pete, hand it over…I do want another drink. Especially since it’s has both of you feeling so good. What is in it a vitamin mixture?”

Pete looks over at Clark. “Well I don’t know...Maybe.”

Chloe looks confused for a moment then goes back to being excited. “Well hand it over, I want to have another drink to. I am not going to miss out on the biggest story of my life!” Taking the bottle from Pete, she took a big long swig.

After thinking about what Chloe described for a minute, Clark finally breaks the silence. “What else do you remember Chloe.”

Chloe snaps out of her own little world at the sound of Clark’s voice. “Well, then the dream got really weird…”

Pete smiles. “Yeah, it’s about time we included Chloe in on what you can do.”

Clark smiles along with Pete. “Pete, I think you are right, we should include Chloe. But I don’t know if she is cool enough to handle it?”

Pete laughs and points at Chloe. “Come on Clark, just look at her, she isn’t cool, she’s HOT.”

Chloe rolls her eyes at them. “Whoa guys what are you two getting at? Just tell me, okay?”

Pete thinks for a minute. “Hey Clark, I have a better idea. Why don’t we show her?”

Clark looks at Pete curiously. “Alright, but what do you have in mind Pete?”

“This.” Walking over to the other side of the loft, he picked up a baseball bat. “This should do just nicely,” Pete remarked. He runs his hand up and down the bat. “This will do very well, indeed.” He said again.

Seeing the bat Chloe asked him, “what do you intend on doing with that bat Pete? Is the secret, that Clark is a very talented baseball player and can pitch or hit better than anyone we know?”

This time Pete is the one to roll his eyes. “No that’s not it Chloe. But you’d better watch closely because unlike baseball you can’t get an instant reply.”

Sitting on the couch in the loft, she wondered, what are these two up to? Well whatever it is it should be fun, I have never seen these two so alive and relaxed before.

Standing up she decided to have some fun, since they thought that she was hot. “Hey you guys, look at me.” Chloe said with a smile. “I‘ve got a micro-skirt.” Chloe smiled as she danced in the middle of the floor. “Check out these moves and these legs!”

Pete smiles and claps his hands together. “See Clark, I told you she was hot! Now what do you say?”

Clark smirks. “We had better show her then.” He waves over at Chloe. “Stop Chloe and watch this and get ready for the surprise of your life!”

Chloe gives Clark a ‘who-do-you-think-you-are look. “I have had many surprised in my life Clark, whatever you plan on showing me, is going to have to be pretty spectacular in order to impress me. I mean it!”

Clark just smiles and nods. “Well, like I said get ready to be impressed!”

Having said that, Clark turned to Pete and said, “Maestro.”

Recognizing his cue, Pete picked up the bat and took two practice swings. Then with all of the power he could muster up swung the bat hitting Clark right in the face.

As Chloe saw the bat heading for Clark’s face she tensed up for an instant, but when she saw it shatter into a million pieces and realized that Clark didn’t even flinch, she relaxed.

As Clark and Pete began laughing, Chloe asked, “What did I just see?” They continue you laughing. “Clark, Pete, what’s going on?”

Clark is the first to stop laughing. “Well Chloe, I have a secret, I am not the mild mannered, flannel boy you think I am. There is more to me than meets the eye.”

Chloe just looks at Clark. “I have never doubted that Clark for a minute. I have always known that you are a special fellow, just look at the size of your feet!”

Clark chuckles. “Well thank you Chloe, but we are talking about something else. Something very special indeed. I have abilities. Abilities that no one else posses. I can do things that others only dream about.”

Chloe moves closer to Clark. “Like what?”

Clark points over the remains of the bat. “Well for one, the bat, I should have had a concussion, but as you can see, it didn’t even phase me.”

Chloe focuses her gaze over to the shattered bat. “You’re right you should be bleeding and also be completely knocked out. Whoa, Clark how is this possible?”

“Chloe you haven’t seen anything yet! Watch this!” Picking up a piece of metal bar that was lying on the floor, Clark bent it as if it were a piece of licorice.

“Wow!” Was all that Chloe could say, “Clark what else can you do?

Clark puts down the piece of metal. “Well I can run pretty fast.”

“Can you run fast enough to catch me before I hit the ground, if I jump from here?”

“Try it,” Clark said.

Chloe moves over to the railing. “Okay Clark, lets see just how fast you can move. Here goes nothing!”

Chloe jumped, but Clark was there to catch her even before she got partway down. “You really are fast, Clark, you’re my own, private Superhero. Can you fly?”

Clark laughs at Chloe’s question. “Chloe, I am not a cartoon.”

“I was just wondering.” Chloe pauses for a moment. “Clark, how is this all possible are you a meteor freak?”

Clark moves over to the couch and sits down. “No I am not, Chloe I was born this way. You see I am not from around here. I am not even from a Galaxy near here. I am from a planet that no longer exists; I am the last living person from a Planet called Krypton. I was sent in a tiny spaceship when I was a young child. The Kent’s found me and adopted me. I came with the meteor shower.”

Coming out of her recollection, she stopped and stuttered, “Cl…Cl… do you mean to tell me it wasn’t a dream?”

Clark slowly nods. “It wasn’t a dream Chloe…All that was the truth.”




<and thats all for now :D....tell me if you guys liked it>

[SVsleuth]

Yay! Chloe knows! Now it's Lana's turn. PPMS!

[happycamper]

No, Chloe, it wasn't a dream. And it is the biggest story of your life. Too bad you can't share it...:p

Now Lana has to find out, too. I just hope Clark can keep his courage up.

Just a thought, but shouldn't he have told Lana first?


:D :D

^Yeah that what I was thinking also but...it just kind of worked out this way <random>:D

CH 32
GO ON








This has got to be some kind of joke. Chloe shakes her head in effort to wake herself from this unbelievable dream. “Do you want to run that by me again Clark?”

Clark sighs and looks down at his hands. “It’s true Chloe, it wasn’t a dream.” He looks up at her. “It really happened, everything that you thought was a dream really happened.” This must seem so strange to her.

This is so strange. Chloe actually pinches herself to make sure she’s awake. “But how?” She asked looking at Clark and then over at Pete, trying to see his reaction to all of this.

Pete takes this moment to step in. “It’s all true, Clark is telling you the truth. He has been a mystery to all of us for a long time. He is finally telling you his secret.” I guess this is a good thing.

Chloe listened intently to Clark’s story. Her eyes were as wide open as she heard all that he had to say.

When he finished, he slowly looked up to her. “I would understand if you felt differently about me, after hearing this.”

Chloe takes a deep breathe and collects her thoughts. “Clark, I don’t and never could feel differently about you. You are my best friend and always will be.” She reaches over and grabs a hold of his hand. “Granted, you are now my extraterrestrial best friend, but nothing has changed, except now I understand your quick appearances and disappearances.” It all makes sense.

Chloe quickly goes back to her usual giddy self. “Wow! Clark this is amazing. This beats my favorite Martian, Roswell and even Twilight Zone!”

Clark laughs at his excited friend. “You can’t tell this to anyone, Chloe and you definitely can’t write a story about this even though you would win a Pulitzer Prize.” I think I can trust her though.

Chloe goes back to being serious. “Clark, I know and don’t worry, I would die before I revealed your secret to anyone!” I promise.

Clark gives Chloe’s hand a squeeze. “I believe that Chloe, I really do.”

Chloe looks down at there hands and quickly remembers something. More like someone. “Hey, have you told Lana yet?”

Clark stands up. “I am going there right know, I feel a little more confident since, I have seen how well you accepted my secret. I really hope she let’s me explain, why I have been acting so strangely. I hope she gives me another chance?” I NEED to fix things with her. Lately it’s just been getting bad.

Chloe gives him a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry Clark, she will. I know Lana and I know how much she loves you. It’s going to be fine!” Even though I love you too.

She loves me? “I hope so Chloe, because I don’t know how I would go on without her in my life. I really love her and to have it all destroyed because of a little red drink…Oh, I can’t believe this happened.” We still need to find Lex...

Chloe nods her head towards the door. “Go and tell her Clark. She came and visited me, before you and Pete arrived. She is over at the Talon, working the late shift. Go now. She really needs to hear from you and good luck!” I can’t believe I’m letting Clark go.

With a whoosh, he was gone. Seconds later he was standing outside of the Talon, looking in.

I can do this. Clark continues starring at the door, until suddenly it opens. Lana.

Lana looks surprised to see Clark standing there in front of her. “Clark?”

Clark waves. “Hi.” Good start.

Lana laughs. “Hi.” She waits for him to say something. No surprise there. “What are you doing here?”

Clark breaks out of his trance. “Oh umm…I actually came to talk to you.”

Lana hugs herself and looks down. “Clark I don’t know…”

Clark steps forward. “I came here to fix things.” Maybe she’ll accept that.

She looks up at him and sighs in defeat. “Come on in.” She leads him inside.

Clark follows her inside. “Thanks.” He sits down and starts to think of how to start the explanation.

Lana watches Clark stare off into space for almost five minutes before she decides to break the silence. “Clark, I have been thinking about what you said. I really want to trust and believe in you, but you seem like two different people. Please tell me what is going on and explain to me why you have been behaving so strangely?”

He looks up. Wow! She couldn’t have made it any easier. “Lana, thank you for giving me the chance to explain.” He takes a breather. “I want you to know everything and I plan to do that now, but you are going to have to sit down. I want you to promise me two things: First that you will hear me through, no matter how strange what I am going to tell you may sound. The second thing is what I am about to tell you has to remain a secret only a handful of people know this.”

Lana agrees. “Okay, Clark I promise, but let me make us two Pumpkin Spiced Latte’s.”

Clark sat nervously in the booth. Lana returned with the drinks and put them on the table. She then went over and locked the door.

She smiled at Clark. “I don’t want any interruption.” Lana took at seat across from him.

Checking the drink to be sure there was nothing red in it. He chuckled. I am getting paranoid.

Lana looks at Clark confused. “Why did you look at your drink?” He is so strange.

Clark lets out another chuckle. “Well I wanted to be sure that there was nothing red in it.” She won’t even understand that…yet.

Lana just looks at Clark like he has gone insane. “What?”

Clark stops laughing at looks straight at her. “Don’t worry you will understand soon!” Believe it.

After thinking for a minute, Clark finally makes up his mind of how to start. “You see Lana; I am different from anyone else in Smallville.” Very different...alien different

Lana reaches across the table and grabs a hold of his hand. “I know that Clark and that’s why I like you.” Even love you.

Clark gives Lana’s hand a squeeze back. “Lana, I really hope you can say that after I finish what I have to say.”

Lana feels Clark’s hand start to shake even in her grasp. “What’s wrong Clark; I have never seen you so nervous or worried.” It’s worrying me.

Clark takes a deep breathe to try and calm him self down. “Lana it because I lo-like you and what I am about to share could change the way you are starting to feel about me…forever.” I can’t believe I almost slipped.

She looks at Clark and notices his whole body shaking. “Clark, you are shaking, don’t be afraid nothing will change the way I feel about you, nothing.” Nothing at all…well at least I hope so.

Feeling better, he began his story. “Lana, eleven years ago, something happened here in Smallville.” Here we go.

Lana connects the dots herself. “Oh, you mean the meteor shower. It changed people’s lives in a major way…especially my own life.” That day sucked.

He lets go of Lana’s hand and puts his hands in his pockets. “I know Lana, that’s what makes what I am about to say so hard. You see Lana, I came in that meteor shower.”

Her eyes went wide at this. “Clark, what and how?” That’s not possible…it doesn’t make sense.

He looks at her to make sure she knows he is serious. “I am not from here Lana. I am from a planet that no longer exist. My parents’ put me in a tiny space ship and sent me here as a child. I have abilities, powers that I am only beginning to understand. I am beginning to understand that I also have certain weaknesses.” He pauses for air. “Green meteor rocks can kill me and red meteor rocks cause me to act foolishly. When I have been exposed to them, I don’t even remember what I have done while they effect me. I have recently become aware of this and I have been exposed to the Red Meteor rock several times. In the form of a nonalcoholic drink, I have has when I was with Lex. Since it was nonalcoholic, I figured no harm. Boy was I wrong!” I was stupid, as Pete would say.

He came in the meteor shower? But my parents… He has saved so many people… So that’s why he has been behaving so strangely from time to time. That would also explain why he has no recollection of what he has done while on them! Oh, poor Clark and I treated him so badly! I got to let him know I’m okay with this.

Lana stands up.

Oh no... Clark looks down to the floor, thinking he has lost her.

She surprises him by taking a seat next to him, and grabbing his hand that was in his pocket. “Go on Clark.” She gives his hand a squeeze and gives him a loving smile. I can be okay with this...I hope.



<have a nice day people> ;D

[SVsleuth]

Thanks for the update, and for letting us know that Lana wil be okay with it - even though you DID stop in the middle of the conversation. :mad: - Looking fwd to more... PPMS!

[happycamper]

Wow, things are going surprisingly well for Clark. Can a little truth really make it that easy for him? :lol:


:D :D

CH 33
I WANT MORE OF THAT








After hours of explaining and answer question, Clark lets out a yawn. “I didn’t think I would get this tired from just telling the truth.” He reaches for his third cup of coffee.

Lana waits for Clark to set down his cup safely on the table, before playfully shoving him. “Yeah okay big guy.”

They both laugh happy that things are good between them again.

Clark stops laughing long enough to look down at his watch. “Whoa I guess we lost track of time. My mom’s probably wondering where I am."

Lana looks over at the clock on the wall and sees how late it is. “Wow I guess so.” It was worth it though.

Clark stands up and stretches. I should go home.

He looks so good. Lana snaps out of her daze and carries the empty cups over to the counter.

Clark watches Lana walk around the counter. “I probably should umm…be going.” Not that I want to.

Lana nods. “Yeah you don’t want to worry your mom.” I don’t want him to go.

Clark walks closer to Lana. “Hey umm…so you’re okay with all this?”

Lana giggles. “Yes Clark.” She stops giggling and looks into Clark’s eyes. “Just promise me you will keep telling me the truth.” It’s all I ask.

Clark nods in agreement. “I promise.” I should leave now or else I won’t be able to leave.

Lana walks with Clark towards the door. “Goodnight Clark.” She reaches up and kisses him on the cheek.

Clark blushes five shades of red. I want more of that! “Wow…Thanks!” Way to sound like a loser Kent. “Umm…Goodnight.” He opens the door and walks outside into the night.

Lana watches Clark walk down the street. I can’t believe how much in love I am with him. She lets out a sigh and turns to go back into the Talon, but bumps into someone.

“Lana! Hey!”




||KENT FARM||


Clark practically skips into the kitchen. Such a wonderful night!

Martha Kent is sitting at the kitchen table, witnessing her son dance around the kitchen floor. “You seem…happy to say the least.” She laughs as she sees Clark pick up the broom and start dancing with it. I’ve never seen him this happy.

Clark stops dancing with the broom, and walks over to his mom and gives her a big hug and kiss to go along with it. “Hello dear mother!” I am acting like a giddy school girl.

Martha laughs and tells her son to put her down. “I take it things with Lana went well?”

Clark sets his mother back down on the floor. “Who told you I was going to see Lana?” Who would spill the beans like that?

Martha goes into the living room and comes back holding a yellow notepad in hand. “A certain blonde, caffeine addicted reporter.”

“Chloe?” He walked over to his mother. “When did she call?”

Martha laughed a little. “More like when didn’t she call.” She hands him the notepad.

Clark reads it over. “Eleven times!” Wow. “Why did she call so many times?”

Martha sits back down at the kitchen table. “She called to get to some more answers and details.”

Clark looks up at his mother nervously. “Uhh…” I forgot to tell her my plan.

Martha puts a hand up to stop him. “You don’t need to defend yourself Clark. It’s your dissision who you tell and don’t tell.”

Clark lets out a sigh of relief. “Well then…I should tell you I also told Lana.”

Martha looks up at her son then lets out a laugh. “So that’s why you were so hyper when you came in!” Only Lana Lang could make him feel this way.

Clark sits down across from Martha. “She accepted me…And gave me a kiss on the cheek!” That was awesome.

Martha smiles at her son. “I happy for you Clark.” Love in the air.

Clark smiles back at Martha. “Everything is starting to go very well for me.”

Martha continues smiling at Clark. I’m glad he’s happy. I just hope it lasts.




<I know its not long, but its plot development> :D

CH 34
AM I BEING NAUGHTY?







Lana looks up at what she, or more like who she ran into. “Lex what are you doing here?” Maybe I should run away…Clark said he was dangerous.

Lex leans against the wall and looks at his hands. “Well I just slipped in through the back door to be sure everything is okay.” He moves towards Lana. “I am the owner of this place you know.” Is she scared?

Lana sighs seeing her escape is blocked. “I know Lex, but you really never show an interest in The Talon at all so you kind of surprised me.” He seems kind of normal to me.

He moves a little closer to her. “Well maybe it is time that I take an interest, Lana.” Just play it cool Lexy boy.

Lana felt a little uncomfortable around Lex. Something is off. Maybe Clark is right, something is wrong with Lex.

Lex just smiles and nods. She really is a beautiful young lady. She is probably very inexperienced about love and sex, but maybe I can teach her a few things. Why let the farm boy have everything? “Lana, have you ever ridden in a Porsche?”

Lana looks over at his car. “No I haven’t Lex, but I must admit, I have wondered what it would be like. They appear to be fast cars.” Is he up to something?

Lex walks over to his car. “They are and very comfortable as well. Hey, why don’t I take you for a short ride?” Ride on me…haha I’m sick.

Lana shakes her head a couple times. “Oh I don’t think so Lex, I really have a lot to do. I have to clean this place before I go off to study.” Just walk away.

Lex grabs onto her elbow. “Oh come on Lana, just for a few minutes. Then you can study.” He starts to move her near the car. “I ride in the cool evening air will help you relax. You appear to be a little stressed.” I can relieve it.

Lana looks at the car then to Lex. No way out of this. “Okay Lex, you convinced me, but only a short ride.” I hope this isn’t a mistake, trusting him.

Lex runs to the car. “Now you’re talking you are really going to enjoy the ride!” I know I am.

As they went outside to get in the Porsche, Pete was walking nearby.

Whoa, isn’t that Clark’s main squeeze getting into Lex’s machine? I wonder what this is all about. I better get closer and try to find out. He walks close enough to the car to hear what they are saying.

Lana nervously looks around the car. “Lex, wait for a few more seconds so I can get this seat belt on, ok?” This was a bad idea.

Lex smiles then grabs Lana’s hand. “Don’t worry, I will drive carefully, you won’t need it.” MWUAHAHA.

Lana pulls her hand away. “If it’s all right with you…I will put it on anyway.” She quickly buckles her seatbelt. “By the way where are we going?”

With the wheels of his car spinning and burning rubber, his Porsche pulled out at a high rate of speed. “We are going to Crater Lake, Lana, my dear.” This…will…be…fun!

Lana shakes her head. “Lex, that is too far, we can’t go there. Stop the car, I want to get out.” She puts her hand on the door handle.

Ignoring her pleas he sped off down the road. Lana repeatedly begged him to stop and let her out.

He ignored her.

Pete heard it all. I better tell Clark about this was all that he could think. Getting into his car he sped off to the Kent farm.

Meanwhile, Lex was driving his Porsche at a high speed to the lake.

“Don’t worry so much beautiful. I will get you back soon. So stop worrying.” He pauses to grin and lick his lips. “Clark said you were such an amazing tiger in the sack…I just want to see if what he says is true.” I’m really evil.

Lana snaps her head towards Lex. “Clark said what?” How dare he say such a thing! “He is a liar I have never been with anyone…and I never will with that jerk.” Stupid alien jerk. “Now take me back right now.”

Lex chuckles at her pleas. “I am so sorry my dear, but I can’t. You see I have been looking forward to this for a long time. Nothing is going to stop me.” He licks his lips again.

Lana chringes. “Lex, we are partners don’t do this. I beg you.” Why won’t this damn door open?!

Lex puts a hand on her thigh. “Sorry my sweet, I have to.” She's so warm.

That having been said the car stopped at the lake.



||CRATER LAKE||



Dragging her out of the car, Lex pulled Lana over to an area where the trees hid them from anyone’s sight. “Stop squirming Lana, you are really going to love it…I know I will.” Hehe, bad boy.

No way out. She realized that there was no reasoning with him and kicked him hard between his legs and ran to the car, got in and locked all the doors. I should be safe for a while.



||KENT FARM||



Clark was finishing off his chores when Pete drove up.

He’s driving pretty fast. “Stop Pete what’s your hurry man?” Speed demon.

Pete practically jumps out of his car. “Clark it’s Lex he’s got Lana and he is taking her to Crater Lake…I think he is going to force himself on her.” Now breathe.

Clark is now paying full attention to Pete. “What are you talking about Pete?” This is nuts.

Pete takes a deep breathe. “All I know is he drove off saying he was taking her to the lake.” He pauses again. “Lana was begging him to stop and let her out.” He’s turning red.

Hearing this Clark sped off to the lake.




||CRATER LAKE||



Lana had the doors locked and felt safe, but Lex walked up to the front of the car and clicked the button on the automatic lock release. Then he walked over to the car pulled the door open and began dragging her back over to the wooded area.

Stopping at the lake, Clark spotted the car, then Lex dragging Lana. That dickslap.

Running over to where they were. Clark pulled him off of her and knocked Lex down. Clark took that moment to pick up Lana and take her away from Lex. “Are you alright?”

Lana squirms out of his arms and slaps him. “How could you?” At this point she is screaming. “How could you tell him that we were sleeping together? How could you indicate to him, that I was easy? How could you Clark?” Stupid alien…and to think that I actually loved him!

Clark puts a hand on his slapped cheek and shakes his head. “Lana, I never said…I wouldn't.”

Lana lets a tear fall down her face and hugs herself for comfort. "I'm sick of you lies." Here come the water works.

Clark grabs onto her shoulders with both hands, and gives her a passionate kiss. Woooow...

Lana closes her eyes. Wow...

Clark pulls away, and looks at her still closed eyes. "I-I love you." That was easy...

Lana looks at Clark.

Right at that moment a gunshot rang out. Clark hit the ground almost instantly as the bullet hit him.

He was shaking violently. What…how?

Lex comes into view holding a smoking gun. “What do you think Clark…I had these made out of the meteor. They are stronger than steel. Well what do you think Clark?” Am I being naughty?





<sorry for the delay guys....I had a lot going on....I hope Ill be better next time>

[Clarkfan3000]

*gasp*metor bullets again? are we going to have a bit of TC in here? *hopes* great update. cant wait for more

[clana_never_give_up]

Can't wait to read your next update.

[Hahaveryfunny]

METEOR ROCKS! Noooooo! Please let Clark be okay, please! TLC from Lana, perhaps? Lex, that *&^% b*tch! PPMS!

[<Nimrod>]

CH 35
NO PLAYING AROUND







Time stands still as Lana watches Clark fall to the ground. "No…oh my…no!"

Clark gasps for air, as he watches Lex make a move towards Lana. “L-Lana…R-run…” Get out of here!

Lana snaps out of her trance, and turns her head to see what Clark looking at. Lex!

Just as Lana was about to give Lex a good kick between the legs, Pete comes flying out of nowhere and tackles him to the ground. “Lana go to Clark!”

Lex bites Pete in the arm, and Pete screams in pain.

Lana looks from Clark’s lifeless form, back over to Pete. “But…”

Pete kicks Lex’s leg. “Go Lana!” I can handle this bald loser.

With that said, Lana runs over to Clark. “Clark!”

Clark slowly opens his eyes. “I’m fine Lana.” He tries to smile, but ends up coughing.

Lana brushes Clark’s hair back, then looks down at his stomach where blood was flowing out. “Oh god…” This can’t be happening. “Hold on Clark.”

Clark gives a little nod then closes his eyes again. “Lana…”

Lana puts a finger on his lips. “No talking…Just don’t die on me.”

Clark grabs her hand, and gives it a weak squeeze.

Lana gives his hand a squeeze back then takes off her jacket and applies pressure to his wound. “Please hold on…” I can’t lose him now.

Lex punches Pete in the face and scurries over to Lana.

Lana turns her head and sees Lex at full speed coming over to her. Oh hell no!

As Lex makes his way over to his destination, Lana stands up and waits for the right moment then…

*SLAP*

Lex stumbles back and rubs his cheek. “You *****!” She’ll get hers.

Lana shakes her hand, feeling a little pain. “Ow…”

Lex cracks his neck, then firmly grabs Lana by the arms and throws her to the side. “Get out of my way!” He takes a step towards Clark. “And how are we doing today Mr. Kent?” He kicks Clark in the stomach. “Feeling a bit under the weather?”

Pete quickly stands up and sprints over to Lex, with Lana trailing behind. “Leave him alone!”

Clark turns to his side and coughs up some blood. He looks up with teary eyes. This isn’t my friend.

At this point Lana is in tears. “Lex leave him alone!”

Lex sees Pete and Lana running close to him. Can’t have them ruining my fun. He pulls out the gun and points it to Clark’s head. “Stop.”

Both Pete and Lana stop.

Clark looks at the gun then to Lana. I have to stop this. He looks back over at Lex. I have to save her.

Lex just laughs as he swings the gun around as if it was a toy.

Lana lets the tears fall down her face.

Pete starts to nervously shake. Clark… just hold on man.

Clark looks over at his friend then finally makes a choice. Here we go. He gathers up all the energy he can then swings his leg into the back of Lex’.

“Ahh ****!” Lex falls backwards onto Clark.

Pete takes that moment to run over and grab the gun.

Lana runs to Clark and helps him move back away from Lex.

Lex stand up only to face a loaded gun. “Uhh…Petey?”

Pete steadies his hand. “Yes Lex?”

Lex shakes his head. “You shouldn’t play with others people’s toys.”

Just as Lex made a move to grab the gun, Pete smacks Lex in the head with the gun, knocking him out.

Pete looks over to Clark and Lana. “Well that solves that problem.” I really kind of wanted to shoot him though…oh well.

CH 36
HURRY BACK






Clark opens his eyes, and sees Pete shoving Lex into his car. He turns his head and sees Lana leaning on his stomach and looking down. Lana… He closes his eyes again, and is engulfed in the darkness.


“Clark!”

Clark ignores the noise and tries to sleep again.

“Clark, come on help me out here.”

There it is again.

“Just a little farther Pete!”

Lana? Clark opens his eyes and notices he is looking down at the floor. The Talon floor? “Lana?”

Lana moves her head a little to look down at Clark. “Oh thank heavens!” She tightens her grip on him. “Hold on Clark you’ll be okay.”

Clark finally looks around and realizes that he is being pulled into the Talon by Lana and Pete. I’m so tired.

Pete and Lana begin to lower him on the ground. “Hold on buddy.”

Clark closes his eyes again as he feels the cold tile.

Lana sees Clark close his eyes again. Please don’t let that be the last time. “Pete what should we do?”

Pete takes a breath, and wipes off his forehead. Man Clark is a big guy. “Well I’m going to take Lex to the hospital to get that worm thing out of him once and for all.”

Lana nods, but then quickly shakes her head in panic. “Wait…No…Pete you can’t leave me here by myself.” I can’t handle this on my own.

Pete pulls out his car keys. “Lana I can’t stay. I need to get Lex to the hospital and you need to watch Clark.”

Lana looks over at Clark. “I can’t do this alone…”

Pete goes over and hugs Lana. “Just call his parents. I’m pretty sure they’ll know what to do.”

Lana looks at Clark, and a tear falls down her face. “Just…Hurry back.”

Pete nods, and runs out the door.

Lana watches Pete leave then runs to the phone and brings it over to Clark. Sleeping like a baby…a very hot baby.

After attempting to get a hold of Mrs. Kent four times, Lana finally gives up. Damn it!

Lana puts the phone down and walks over to Clark. “Hey Clark.” She sits down. “I was thinking about what you said to me…” She lifts up his shirt to see her jacket that was used as a bandage is soaked with blood. “Umm I…” She lifts it off of him while sheading some tears. “I wanted to tell you something too…” She pulls out the Talons first aid kit, and rewraps his wound. “I wanted to say that I…I l-love you too.”

Lana jumps when she feels a hand touch her wet teared face.

Clark opens his eyes and looks straight at Lana. “I had a feeling you did.”

Lana laughs a little. “Well I’m glad.” She places her own hand over his. “I love you so much Clark Kent.”

Clark smiles and closes his eyes slowly. “I love you too Lana Lang…” His hand lazily drops down.

Lana gets scared. “Clark?” She feels for breathing and a pulse. Oh no…

She jumps up and looks around as if searching for something. “Clark please hold on!” She looks down at Clark, when something caught her eyes. Of course!

Lana runs into the backroom and hastely makes it back to Clark with some pliers. “Clark everything will be okay, just hold on!”

After taking off the bandage, Lana almost gags at the sight off all the blood. I have to do this. “This might hurt a little Clark.” Lana sticks the pliers into the wound, and Clark’s whole body twitchs for a second. Lana laughs lightly. “I warned you.” She continues on with her mission.

Ten minutes later and Lana finally takes the last spec of meteor out of Clark. “Come on…please…” After the meteor is out of safe distance from Clark, Lana comes back over to him and sits down next to him, stroking his hair. Please be okay.





CH 37
ALWAYS







Clark springs up, but then regrets it as a shot of pain wipes over his entire body. “AHHH!” What is going on…?

Lana comes running out of the backroom holding a bucket of water. “Clark!” She drops the bucket and runs over to Clark.

Clark looks over at Lana, as relief washes over him. Oh thanks nimrod she’s okay.

She suddenly stops her sprint and starts yelling at him. “How could you do that? What were you thinking?”

Clark looks confused. “Well…Umm…Huh?”

Lana grabs a mirror and hands it to Clark, and that’s when he sees he has a bandage on his hand. What the… He see’s cuts and bruises all over his face. “How is this possible?”

Lana sighs and kneels down next to Clark. “Clark don’t you remember Lex shooting you with some meteor rock bullet?” That’s kind of something hard to forget…

Clark looks down at his stomach and sees that his shirt was replaced with a bandage. “Well yeah…I just thought I imagined that.” He slyly grins at Lana.

Lana laughs and shoves him a little. “You’re a pain you know that?” He’s my pain though.

Clark lies back down, feeling a little dizzy. “So…is Pete okay? What happened with Lex? Does my mom know?”

Lana thinks for a minute. “Umm in the correct order…. Yes, hospital and not yet.”

Clark sighs and tries to get back up. “I have to go.”

Lana looks at him like he’s crazy. “Clark you have just been shot, you need to rest.”

Clark sits up. “I need to find my mom, and make sure Lex is out of trouble.”

Lana grabs onto Clark’s shoulder. “Listen to me mister! You’re going to lay here and get better! Do NOT worry about anything else but getting well.”

Just as Clark was about to argue he saw a tear fall down Lana’s cheek. “Fine.” He lies back down and grabs her hand. “As long as you stay with me.”

Lana smiles through her tears. “Always.”

CH 38
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT







After dropping Lex off in the emergency room, Pete decides to go visit Chloe. I hope she doesn’t mind some company.

Pete knocks on the door, before stepping inside. “Hey…”

Chloe turns around to see a surprised Pete. “Hey Pete.”

Pete looks around then watches Chloe pack up her bag. “What are you doing?” She’s suppose to be sick.

Chloe laughs. “Well I think that I’m packing…”

Shaking his head, Pete walks over to Chloe. “Yeah I see that, but why? You’re suppose to be in bed.”

Chloe picks up a shirt, folds it and places it in her bag. “Pete there are other people who need this bed more then me.”

Pete shakes his head again and puts a hand on Chloe’s shoulder. “But Chloe…”

Chloe sighs and rolls her eyes. “Pete…I’m fine…The doctors said I’m healthy, so no need to worry.” She zips up her bag. “Besides I only had a weird, alien, cave worm removed from me.” He needs to lighten up.

Pete sits down. “Okay I’m sorry.” He picks up her bag. “At least let me carry your stuff.”

Chloe smiles and puts her arm through his. “I would like that.” Pete’s so nice.

Pete and Chloe walk out of the hospital, with there arms still linked.

Chloe looks down at her watch and sees that it’s about eleven in the morning. “So where are Clark and Lana? I was hoping to hangout with them today.”

Pete stops walking and slaps his face. How could I forget something like this!? He grabs Chloe’s hand and starts running towards his car.

Chloe gasp at the sudden movement. “Pete do you care to explain why were running?” He is acting weird…Uh oh I got a bad feeling about this.

Pete quickly opens the door and throws Chloe’s bag into the backside. “Listen Chloe, I’ll explain on the way, just….get in!” Clark hold on buddy.

Chloe gets into the car and nervously looks over at Pete. “What’s going on? Did something bad happen?”

Pete ignored her questions and started up the engine and speeds out of the parking lot.

Chloe watches as Pete’s knuckles turn white from gripping the steering wheel. “Pete?” No answer. “Pete?” A little louder. “Pete!”

Pete snaps his head to look at Chloe. “Sorry Chloe…I’m just in a hurry.” A big hurry!

Chloe laughs a little. “I could tell.” Seeing that Pete still has his serious face on, she continues on with her questions. “Pete what’s happening? Did something happen to Lana?”

Pete shakes his head. “No.”

Chloe sighs in relief. “Then what is going on.”

Pete tightens his grip. “Clark.”

Chloe urges him to go on. “Clark…”

Looking over and Chloe, Pete decides to pull over and explain. “So you know how we thought Lex was infected by the worms too?”

Chloe slowly nods.

Pete swallows the lump in his throat. “Well see he was crazy…It uh…It got bad.”

Chloe looks at Pete suspiciously. “How bad?” Did something happen to Lana or something?

Pete looks down at his hands. “Well Lex tried to force himself on Lana…I think.”

Chloe gasps. “What!?” I’ll kill him!

Pete puts up his hand as if to stop her from killing everything in sight. “Don’t worry Clark got there in time…”

Chloe gulped. “But…”

Pete looks away as a tear falls down his cheek. “But after he saved Lana he got shot.”

Chloe laughs. “Why are you worried? Bullets can’t hurt Clark. Right?” This pause isn’t a good sign.

Pete looks at Chloe, and right then she got her answer.

She covers her face as she starts to cry. “Oh no…but…no…”

Pete leans over and hugs her. “It’s okay. He’ll be okay. I mean…it is Clark we’re talking about.” He can’t die…It’s like impossible.

After a couple minutes to collect her self, Chloe pulls away from Pete’s embrace. “Where is he?” I have to see this for myself.

Pete starts the car again. “He’s at the Talon.” He speeds back onto the road.

Chloe nods. “Is he doing okay?”

Pete glances at Chloe before looking back onto the road. “Lana’s with him, so I’m sure he is.” She’s smart, she knows what to do.

Chloe nods and wipes her eyes. I have nothing to worry about now.





<I think I might be able to post another update tonight...well see> :D

[Hahaveryfunny]

Great update. Poor Pete and Chloe worrying about Clark for nothing. He's fine! PPMS!

[<Nimrod>]

CH 39
ARE YOU TWO TOGETHER







||TALON||


Chloe flings the door wide open causing it to almost fall off of it's hinges. "Lana!” Right away Chloe sees Lana sitting down with Clark’s head in her lap, brushing his hair. “Oh thank goodness!”

Lana looks up and sees a worried looking Chloe. “Chloe? What are you doing here?”

Chloe quickly walks over to Lana. “I came here with Pete.” Kneeling down next to Lana she gives her a hug. “He told me what happened.”

Lana hugs her back and finally breaks down. “Chloe I’m so scared!” He hasn’t wakened up in a while.

Chloe comforts her friend before pulling away. “Hey it’s going to be okay…I mean…It is Clark we’re talking about.”

Lana laughs a little. “Yeah but he was…he…he was shot Chloe!” She starts the water works again. “What if he doesn’t make it?” I love him…he can’t leave me.

Chloe hugs her friend again. “I know, but I doubt even kryptonite bullets will be enough to stop Clark.”

Lana nods. Wait… “You know about kryptonite?”

Oh right I forgot about this… “Well yeah, but I just learned today.” She looks angry.

Lana sarcastically laughs. “So did I.”

Chloe looks over at Pete who just shrugged his shoulders. “Lana this isn’t really the place or time to do this.” She sees Lana calming down. “Besides I think he just told me because he had too…not because he wanted to.” I accept that.

Lana looks over at Clark and sighs. She’s right. Lana brushes some hair out of his face. “I’m sorry Chloe…I think it’s just been a very emotional day.”

Chloe looks at Clark. “I can see that.” He’s fine.

Lana wipes her eyes and stands up. “So do you want some coffee? I’m sure you haven’t had a descent cup in a while.” Just stay cool Lang.

Chloe follows Lana over to the counter. “That sounds great.” I need my fix…of caffeine.

Pete watches the girls go over the counter. Well I better see how he’s doing. He walks over to Clark and sits next to him. “Hey man.”

Clark flutters his eyes open. “About time you came back dude.”

Pete smiles. I didn't know he was awake. “So how ya doing?”

Clark looks down at his stomach. “Better…All thanks to Lana.”

Pete relaxes now. “I take it she took out the meteor rock.”

Clark nods his head. “Yeah…I owe her my life.”

Pete laughs. “I say you call it even.” He’s saved her life so many times.

“Yeah I guess so.” Clark laughs along with him.

Pete looks at the cuts and bruises around Clark’s face. “Shouldn’t you have healed by now?”

Clark shakes his head. “I think my body might still be recovering. I might not be human, but I still can get hurt.”

Pete chuckles. ‘Yeah, but not often.”

“Hey do I hear laughing coming from over here?” Lana and Chloe walk over to the boys. Lana sits next to Clark and Chloe next to Pete.

Clark smiles. “Aw this is great.” He reaches for Lana’s hand. “All of us hanging out like old times.” Well we hung out last week, but…eh.

Chloe laughs. “Oh yes. All of us sitting around our friend who has just been shot…just like old times.”

Everyone laughs at this.

“Hey give me a break.” Clark tries to sit up.

“Oh no you don’t.” Lana grabs his head and leads it to lie on her lap. “Relax.”

Clark smiles up at her. “I am.”

Pete and Chloe watch as the two stare at each other.

Chloe is the first to break the silence by coughing. “So are you two together?”





<have a great night/day>:D

Good to see that Clark's recovering, Lana stayed calm at finding out that Chloe knew Clark's secret, and that it looks like Clarrk and Lana are back together.

Now what are they going to do about Lex? Maybe pass it off as a hallucination?


:D :D

MERCY ON THEM





Pete and Chloe watch as the two stare at each other.

Chloe is the first to break the silence by coughing. “So are you two together?”

Lana stops staring at Clark and snaps her head up to face Chloe. “Uhh…”

Clark looks at Lana then to Chloe, watching them just nervously stare at each other. Did I miss something?

Chloe sighs and stands up. “Lana, can I talk to you for a minute?”

Lana looks down at Clark.

“Alone.” Chloe starts walking towards the backroom.

Clark reaches for her hand. “Hey.”

Lana squeezes Clark’s hand. “I guess I should go talk to her.”

Clark smiles. “I’ll be here when you get back.”

“You better be.” Lana laughs.

Clark kisses her hand. “Go on.”

Lana smiles and then stands up. I got to face my doom.

Chloe sits down on some random box, right when Lana comes in. “So you going to tell me what’s going on?”

Lana lets out a deep breath. “Chloe…”

Chloe puts up her hand to stop Lana. “Just to tell you…I would be okay if you two were together.”

Lana smiles and then walks over to sit next to Chloe. “That’s just it…I don’t even know if we are.” Confusing.

Chloe laughs a little. “What are you talking about?” She puts a hand on Lana’s shoulder. “You guys couldn’t keep your eyes off each other.”

Lana giggles. “Yeah I know, but I mean we haven’t even been on a real date.”

Chloe starts laughing at this.

“Hey stop laughing.” Lana couldn’t help but laugh along with Chloe.

After a couple minutes of laughing, Chloe is the first one to collect her self. “I can tell right now that you two won’t have any ordinary relationship.”

Lana stops laughing too. “Well I’m just waiting for Clark to ask me.”

Chloe stands up. “Good luck with that.” That’s funny. “I hope you don’t mind waiting years.”

Lana puts a hand on her forehead. “Wow you’re right!” Silly boy. “Maybe I should be the one to ask him.”

Chloe nods her head, and then helps Lana stand up. “That would probably be a good idea.”

Just as they were about to walk out of the backroom, Lana pulls Chloe back in. “Hey wait.” Shouldn’t she be mad at me or something.

Chloe turns back around to face Lana. “Yes?”

“Why are you all of a suddenly okay with this?” Lana puts her hands on her hips.

Chloe sighs. This was too easy. “Well…”

Lana nods as if to tell her to continue. “Yes…”

Chloe walks past Lana. “Well I think I like someone else.”

With wide eyes, Lana follows Chloe. ‘Who?!” This is good.

Chloe looks down and wipes her hands on her pants. “Well…Pete.”

“Pete!” Wow.

Chloe covers Lana mouth with her hand. “Could you say it any louder?” I hope he didn’t hear anything.

Lana removes Chloe’s hand. “Pete?”

Chloe slyly nods. “Yeah I know, it’s kind of random.”

Lana nods, but also smiles. “Yeah, but this is good.”

Chloe looks at Lana curiously. “Why is it good?”

Lana laughs. “Oh come on everyone knows Pete’s got a thing for you.”

This time Chloe is the one to go wide eyed. “What?”

Lana nods. “Yep.” This is so very good. “Pete has a crush on you like…”

Chloe finishes Lana’s thought. “Like how Clark has one on you?”

Lana giggles. “Yeah pretty much.”

Chloe starts giggling along with Lana. “You’re right this is good.” Very good.

Lana hugs Chloe. “Looks like things are turning up for us.”

Chloe hugs her back. “Now if only they would ask us out soon.”

Lana pulls away. “You know…We could always have mercy on them.”

Chloe rolls her eyes. “I suppose.”
