How 'bout Florida?



Clark Kent and Lana Lang spent most of Saturday afternoon at the café planning on what to do over spring break. Whitney of course would be spending it at Kansas State playing football with the rest of the team. Whitney told Lana he wanted to be with her over break, but he really needed the practice. Lana understood of course, and told him he could go. Lex recommended hundreds of places, but Clark and Lana agreed those places would be too expensive.

"Come on, Europe is great." Lex had been to Europe several times throughout his life.

"I was thinking something more along the lines of somewhere by a beach." Lana said.

"How 'bout Florida?" Clark suggested flipping through brochures with beaches on the front.

"That's a great idea Clark, I've never been to Florida before." Lana said happily liking Clark's suggestion.

"You know, with this being the two of you, Pete and Chloe's first trip together for spring break, you guy's should make it memorable. I can contribute with money and you can stay in the best hotel and even fly there first class."

"Really?" Clark sounded surprised, he knew Lex liked helping Clark out whenever he needed.

"Why don't you come along with us, it'll be a great time." Lana said.

"Oh I wish I could, but I've got so much paper work to take care of, and I don't really have time for a vacation."

It was settled. Pete, Chloe, Clark, and Lana would be going first class to Florida for spring break in one week. When Clark got home that day he immediately asked his parents about the trip.

"I don't know Clark, you've never been away from home before, and with your gifts, I just don't think your ready to be away for two weeks. Something might happen." His father said.

"Dad, I know I have these gifts, and I know how to control him. Please you can trust me." Clark begged.

"Clark, we do trust you, we just don't want to see you get discovered and worse get hurt." Martha said.

"Please, it's just two weeks, that's all I'm asking." Clark was about to get on his knees and beg, but the look on his parents face stopped him.

Martha and Jonathan looked at each other as if they could read each other's mind and smiled.

"Alright, you can go. But there's one thing we want you to do while you're there." Jonathan said.

"What's that?" Clark asked, knowing it would probably be something along the lines of don't do this or don't do that..

"Have fun." His Dad said smiling.

Yes! Clark said to himself, surprised at their answer.. He went over and gave his parents a hug.

The next day of school was a Friday. Clark, Lana, Pete, and Chloe met at their usual lunch table to say whether or not they each could go.

They went around the table.

Pete: "I can go."

Chloe: "I can go."

Clark: "I can go."

Lana: "I'm sorry guy's, I can't."

"What?" Clark said trying not to sound like the world was going to end because she couldn't go.

"I'm kidding, I can go." Lana started laughing.



Spring break finally arrived and they were on a plane for Daytona Beach, Florida. They would be staying at the Westgate Daytona condo. Lex hooked them up with the condo and the flight. On the plane, they were in first class, and Chloe sat next to Pete, and Clark sat next to Lana. The way the seats were arranged was two and two facing each other with a big table in front of them to place their food or whatever else they wanted to. They played truth or dare, well, actually truth, because all everyone would pick was truth. Chloe was first, and she picked Lana.

"Lana, truth, or dare?" Chloe loved this game, especially when Clark and Lana were in the game.

"Truth." She smiled, awaiting for her question.

"Now, this never leaves the room…well…plane. Is there anyone in the school you would go out with, if you and Whitney were not together?" Chloe was the master of the game, she knew all the right questions to ask and everyone loved it. Chloe looked over at Clark and smiled then looked back over at Lana.

"Hmm…" Lana leaned forward and whispered in Chloe's ear who she picked.

"Come on, let us hear!" Pete was disappointed, he wanted to hear.

"Sorry guy's, it's private." Lana smiled and her and Chloe laughed.

"Please! The rules of the game are you have to tell everyone that's playing" Pete just wouldn't give up. He was holding in his laugh because he knew she was going to say Clark.

Lana sat their quiet for a few seconds then finally gave in.

"All right." Lana surrendered.

Clark and Pete leaned in so they could hear.

"Clark." She said.

Clark couldn't believe it. He was so happy, he never thought Lana actually liked him in that way. The game was interrupted by lunch; pizza and drinks instead of regular plane food, courtesy of Lex. The airline stewardess asked them if they would like to watch a movie. Normally, from Kansas to Florida, there wouldn't be time for a movie, but they had to go up to New York and then back down to Florida. That was the only flight available.

"What are the choices?" Chloe asked.

"A variety, Lex Luthor was happy to pay for you to have a wide selection of movies. He provided us with Scream 3…" Clark interrupted.

"Let's watch that! That's the only one of the Scream movies that I haven't seen." Clark of course had seen it before, he only wanted to watch it because he knew Lana would be scared and would probably be clinging to his arm the whole time.

"I haven't seen that before, is it real scary?" Lana asked Chloe.

"Oh, I haven' t seen it before either, but from what I hear it's pretty scary." She told her, giving Clark a funny look, knowing what he was up too.

They were in a private room, the lights were off, and five minutes into the movie, Lana was already clinging to Clark's arm. Clark put his arm around her and she had her head laying against his the top of his chest. When she would get real scared she would turn her head away and Clark would hug her. Pete and Chloe looked at each other and smiled. Pete mouthed to Chloe foreshadowing. They quietly laughed and continued watching the movie. When they arrived in Daytona Beach, Florida, their Spring Break finally began. They checked into their hotel and up to their rooms. They had a big room, four twin size beds all next to each other in one room, and in the next room was the living room, and next to that was a kitchen, and next to the kitchen was a bathroom. They couldn't believe at the size of the room. Their was a big screen t.v in the living room along with a huge couch and three leather recliners. They immediately unpacked and Pete and Chloe went down to the indoor pool, leaving Clark and Lana alone in the room.

"Do you want to go swimming?" Clark asked her.

"In a little bit, I just want to stay in the room for a little bit longer." She told him walking closer to him.

"I'm gonna go change into my swim suit." He went into the bedroom and locked the door so he could change. But what he didn't know, was that there was a door leading out to a balcony that also led into the living room. And the doors weren't locked. He took of his shirt and got out of his jeans and was now in his boxers. Lana came in from the back patio into the bedroom, knowing Clark would be surprised. Clark just stood, there, embarrassed. Lana walked up to him and kissed him. Pete and Chloe came in through the patio with towels around them. They saw Clark and Lana kissing.

"Whoa, sorry to interrupt." Chloe said. They left and went back into the living room. They were still kissing as Pete and Chloe were leaving the room.

They sat on the bed for the next couple of hours not knowing what to say. Pete and Chloe had left hours ago to the beach.

"Clark."

"Lana." They said at the same time, smiling and laughing. They told each other that they should set this aside until after break. They wanted to just have a good time, they would discuss what they should do when they got back to Smallville.

They met Pete and Chloe down at the beach, in their swimsuits. They had four long chairs set up with towels on each of them. Pete and Chloe were sitting down, exhausted from swimming, and Clark and Lana were just starting.

"Hey Lana, race you to the water?" he asked.

"Okay, but, hey what's that?" She said pointing behind him, and she darted for the water.

"Hey that's cheating!" He ran after her, they were both laughing.

"I gotta get this on tape." Chloe turned on her video camera and recorded Clark and Lana running to the water.

Clark caught up with Lana just as they reached the water, and he picked her up, and they went into the ocean, Clark underneath Lana, his back going into the water. They laughed as they splashed each other.

"This is great!" Lana shouted so Clark could hear her over the waves.

"Let's go out to the waves!" Clark shouted, and they swam out to the big waves.

They would go under the water just as the waves were landing, so they wouldn't get hit in the face. When they were under, they would have their eyes open and they would wave to each other. The third time they were under the water, Lana noticed three jellyfish, swimming in the direction of Clark. She shouted for Clark underwater, but he couldn't tell what she was saying. He made the what motion and then the jellyfish rubbed against Clark's leg. Lana screamed, but Clark didn't even flinch. They swam back to the shore.

"What were you saying?" he asked her.

"There were three jellyfish swimming right towards you, I was trying to tell you to watch out."

"Good thing they didn't sting me." He said.

"That's just it Clark…they did." They stood there at the at the end of the shore that turns into the water as the waves came pouring in, hitting their feet. They didn't say a word.
