Last Episode Seen Before Writing: Reaper

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these character.

RANT

Author's Note: I am totally obsessed with Smallville. Recently I noticed (in Stray, and Reaper) that all Lex talked about for those two episodes is his father and his "tragic history." It started to get a little annoying (think Clark always staring at Lana like he has no life!) so I decided to write a little fic about his ranting. I tried writing it with him doing all the ranting, but it failed miserably. So, I added all the other characters and had them complain about things that they never shut up about or that bother me. It is not to be taken seriously! I mean no disrespect! (I just wanted to add that I am sooo sorry for making fun of Chloe. Truth is, she's my hero and I couldn't make myself leave her out of any of my stories. Sorry, Chlo!)

At The Talon:

Clark: Hi, Lex

Lex: My father hates me.

Clark: I don't know who my father is. See, I'm from another planet.

Lex: My dad treats me like I'm from another planet. It's because I'm bald!

Clark: It's all my fault! If I hadn't come here, the meteor wouldn't be here to hurt people.

(Enter Chloe)

Chloe: Did someone say meteors?

Lex: I have no hair.

Chloe: You know, I have a theory about that.

Clark: It's probably my fault.

Lex: It's my dad's fault. He messed up my life, you know.

Chloe: It's probably because of the meteors.

Clark: That means that that's my fault, too!

(Enter Lana)

Lana: Clark, you look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders again.

Clark: It's my fault your parents are dead.

Lana: My parents are dead?!? Oh, wait. I knew that. This necklace is made of the meteor that killed them.

Chloe: I have a theory about that!

Lex: My mom died. I was raised by my father. Did I mention that my dad hates me?

Lana: My dad's dead.

Clark: It's all my fault!!

(Enter Pete)

Pete: What's all your fault?

Lana: My parents are dead.

Pete: I'd comment on that but I only have three lines left!

Chloe: I have a theory about that. It's because of the meteors.

Clark: That means it's my fault!

Lex: No, we already established that everything's my dad's fault. He's a bad man.

Pete: I know, he put my parents out of business.

Lana: My parents don't have a job.

Pete: Your parents are dead.

Lana: They are?!?

Clark: Yes, I did it.

Chloe: I've been researching that and I think I have a theory.

Lex: My dad's been researching me. He doesn't trust me.

(Enter Whitney)

Whitney: My dad's dying.

Lana: My parents are dead, Whitney.

Clark: I killed them! It's all my fault.

Pete: It's not your fault Clark. Dammit! I just used my last line!

Chloe: It's okay, I'll use my contacts to see if I can get you some more.

Lex: My dad wears contacts. he wore them when he stole my girlfriend.

Clark: I don't have a girlfriend. I'm in love with Lana.

Whitney: My dad's sick. I don't have time for Lana.

Lana: It's because my parents are dead, right?

Lex: My mom's dead.

Chloe: I have a theory about that!

Pete: (Gesturing wildly.)

Lana: You look like a dying fish. Dying?!? My parents are dead.

Lex: My dad took me fishing once. He used me as bait.

Clark: I need some bait for Lana.

Whitney: I don't have time for Lana.

Chloe: I have a theory about that. It involves the meteors.

Lana: This necklace has a piece of the meteor that killed my parents. Did I mention that my parents are dead?

Clark: I'd die for you Lana.

Chloe: Then I'd find a way to bring you back using the meteors. I have a theory.

Lex: My dad loves theories. His theory about me is that I'm a bald loser.

Whitney: I'm losing Lana and I don't even know it!

Clark: It's all my fault!

Pete: (Shakes his head and rolls his eyes in defeat.)

Chloe: I have a theory about that.

Lana: I have a theory about how my parents died. They got hit by a meteor.

Lex: The meteors made me bald and my dad hates me.

Whitney: My dad's dying, but I don't want to see him because I want to preserve the memory.

Lana: A memory is all I have of my dead parents.

Clark: (Crying) I cause everyone pain!

Chloe: I have a theory about that.

Lana: My parents are dead.

Lex: Did I mention my dad hates me?
