chloe/lana friendship

Summary: Why is Chloe all upset? (It's not about Clark, Lana, or Pete.)
"Chloe? You're still awake? It's really late---" Lana stopped abruptly as she saw a red faced Chloe who was obviously upset.

"Chloe, what happened?" Lana said, instantly tying to console her friend.

Chloe propped herself up against her headboard and Lana laid on her side, completely going into best friend mode.

"There's nothing wrong. I've just got PMS and stupid little things keep bothering me." Chloe smiled embarrassedly.

"This is one award winning case of PMS then. I don't think anything other than Torch stuff has gotten you this upset, even on your period." Lana responded.

"Yeah, well, we all have secrets. We know that all too well."

Lana half-smiled in agreement, and then started to reason again. "I live with you. What secrets do you have, other than the fact that you are allergic to dust, you love writing in the attic, and you secretly love Saved by the Bell?"

"Which you swore to never breathe a word about to anyone," Chloe reminded her, carefully trying to pick her words.

"And I never will. So tell me what this big secret is!" Lana retorted, wondering what eclectic thing she would find out about her new roomie next.

"Imcryingbecausetheyjustannouncedthey'recancellingyfavoriteTVshow."

"Oh."

"See? It's so stupid! But this show was really like.I don't know, a life I could never live."

"What show is it?"

"So Little Time."

"Isn't that the Olsen twins show?"

"YES! It's so sad, but I'M so sad."

"I won't tell a soul." Lana said, trying to hide her smile, but not succeeding.

"Are you laughing at me?"

"You caught me." Lana admitted, grinning. "You just don't seem like the type of girl that would watch anything the Olsen twins are involved in."

"Well, who would you expect? They don't have any talent!"

"So the reason you watch is---"

"Because they lead a life I never will."

"You said that."

"They have the cutest little clothes and their problems are always solved within half an hour. They are kind of like an alternate me, I guess."

"I think I get what you mean. That's sort of like my obsession with Kelly Osborne. She is the anti-me."

"She's the other side to Lana."

"I guess so."

"So, do I have to blackmail you with your bunny slippers, or can I trust that you'll keep this between us?"

"I hate those slippers."

"It's either that or the pink bunny you sleep with."

"How about none of this conversation ever leave this room?"

"Good." Chloe smiled; satisfied.
