Little AJ stood beside his father as Bud pounded the keys on the computer. It seemed like he was typing a thousand words a minute to AJ. He was very impressed. He moved closer before tapping his father's arm.
"What are you doing daddy?" he asked with a young boy's curiosity.
"I'm writing a fan fiction about one of my favorite TV shows. You know how we read Superman Comic books?" Bud asked.
"Yeah, they're fun." he replied gleefully.
"Well at one time Superman was a young man who was trying to find his way in the world. He had three girls who were in love with him, but he didn't know which one to choose." Bud replied.
"How many girls did you love daddy?" he asked innocently not realizing the problems he could cause if Harriet was there to hear the answer.
"Only your mother AJ. She's hard enough to figure out never mind anyone else." Bud replied.
"Good." he said happily. He loved his mommy and daddy.
"Do you want me to read you some of my story?" Bud asked.
"Yes." he replied.

the Loft in Kent's barn
Clark was getting ready for the Senior Week dinner party. He was in his usual hideaway, the loft of the barn. No one bothered him when he was there except Lois, Chloe's cousin. She could be a real pain sometimes
Clark wanted to make a good impression with Lana. For some reason he didn't understand, things between them had gotten better. Their relationship was almost back to where it was before she left for Europe last summer.
He wondered what had happen between her and Jason, but he was too afraid to ask her. Then again he didn't really care. Lana had said she loved him. They had shared several dances at the prom.
He was surprised that Lois had let him dance with anyone else, she was his prom date after all, but then again Lois always surprised him. She had the knack of doing the sweetest things for him.
The prom, now that was an interesting experience. He wasn't going to go originally , but when he heard that Lana wasn't going to be there with Jason, he changed his mind. He asked her to go with him.
Of all people who should be going to the prom it was Lana. He decided to ask her and she accepted, but something happen in the days leading up to the prom and instead he had somehow ended up taking Lois instead.
He didn't understand how that had happen. Lois had told him that she hated the idea of proms. She hated the idea of spending a lot of money to go to a dance with someone you didn't know or like just to avoid looking like a loser.
If you weren't dating the person before the prom, why would you want to go with them. Besides that little tidbit, Lois wasn't very excited about getting dress up so formally. In fact she hated to wear dresses and she didn't like to dance.
Now Lana had been the love of his life throughout high school. She was intelligent, beautiful, pleasant personality, and she had the nicest little body he could imagine. But something strange happen the night of the prom.
Lois had come down the stairs dress in a gown that blew his mind away. He had always thought Lois was pretty, but in her gown she was breathtaking. She was beautiful. She lit up the room when she smiled. She was a tall and beautiful woman. She made Lana look like a little girl.
"Stop it!" he said to himself as he hit himself in the head. "She's a royal pain in your ass. She's always playing gags on you. She likes to be the center of attention, especially your attention.
But she can be so sweet." he argued with himself. She did tell me it was okay to dance with Lana instead of dancing with her.
She said Lana was the love of his life. Hell anyone who knew him was well aware of his feelings for Lana. Everyone thought he would probably marry Lana some day.
But Lois looked so beautiful that night. She smelled delicious. Her skin was so creamy white and silky soft it blew his mind. He did manage a few dances with her, after all she was his date. He also saved a couple of dances for Chloe.
"Damm this tie!" he muttered to himself. For some reason he couldn't get it tied tonight. He heard someone coming up the stairs. It had to be her. He could detect her scent permeating up through the stairs before she even arrived.
He could hear her chuckling at him as he fumbled some more with the tie. She always found his struggles to be amusing, but it was in a nice concerned way.
"Here, let me have that." she commanded.
She took the tie from him and wrapped it around her beautiful slender neck. It looked so delicious he wanted to nibbled it. As if she could read his mind she smiled at him as she finished tying the tie.
She took the tie from around her neck and placed it around his before tightening it. She got up on her tippy toes and kissed his cheek before saying "You clean up nice Smallville."
She was an enigma to him. He could never figure her out. She never seemed to take life seriously. She was always playful, cutting up. She never seemed sad, always happy. He wondered what kept her here.
Maybe Lana was right, maybe she was hiding from her father, maybe she was afraid of growing up and being responsible, and maybe she hadn't figured out what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.
"Thank you Lois, you're going to make a good wife to someone someday." he smiled in a teasing manner.
"You don't have to worry Clark, it's written in the stars that you will marry Lana in a church wedding and have two little rugrats." she replied seriously.
She checked his tie again to make sure it was snug and buttoned his coat. She wanted to make sure he looked alright.
Down below in the barn Clark's mom was looking up snapping a picture or two. She had wondered where Clark was. He was running late for the Senior dinner. She also knew Lois had to be around here somewhere.
The thought occurred to her that Lois had to be with Clark. It seemed to her that they were always together doing something when they both were here at the farm and he wasn't doing chores.
She chuckled to herself. A couple more pictures for the album. It had been an amazing year. Usually she had difficulty getting good candid shots of Clark, but this year with Lois around it was a bonanza.
She wondered what it was about Clark that attracted Lois to him so much. It wasn't like they were dating. They actually acted more like brother and sister. At least that's how it seem Clark reacted to her.
She was like an annoying little sister. She followed him everywhere. She always seemed to want to know everything about what he was doing.
She had wondered why Lois wanted to stay out here on the farm. They lived in a small crowded house. There was no privacy. Chloe, her cousin lived in town. She wondered why she wanted to stay here on the farm besides to annoy Clark.
Maybe she was in love with Clark the same way Clark had been in love with Lana over the years. Maybe it enough for her to be near or with him as a friend and not as a lover.
The next night little AJ asked Bud to read some more of his story. It was real good and he liked it. He had on his superman pajamas so he could enjoy the story more.
"Can you read to me Daddy?" asked AJ.
"What do you want me to read to you AJ?" asked Bud.
"I want you to read more of the story you were reading to me last night." replied AJ.
