Prologue

"Oh Man...I forgot to tell you...Mom and Dad got a computer last night," Clark Kent said to his best friend, Pete Ross, on the bus ride home from Jebadiah Obadiah Small Middle School. They just started the eighth grade.

"Really?" Chloe Sullivan said, squirming around in the seat in front of her new friends. "Did you set it up already? Will you have DSL? Did you download a messenger system, like AOL? Or MSN? We can chat all the time now!"

Clark looked at Pete; Chloe was the "New Girl" that seemed to invite herself into ALL the boys' conversations, or lately, invite herself into their lives. Well, mostly Clark's life; he STILL thought of the first day of the eighth grade school year when Chloe, fresh from Metropolis, invited herself over to Clark's house, because she had never been on a farm; Clark mentioned to her that he lived on one while he guided her around the campus and she just invited herself over. After the tour, she kissed him in front of the barn.

"I wanted to get that out of the way so we can be friends," She reasoned to him; she actually just wanted to kiss him. She was impulsive as she was inquisitive.

"I ...never had to ...kiss Pete... to be friends," Clark stammered, heart racing; it was his First Kiss.

"We're friends now, Kent," Chloe smiled; her lips tingled. "Deal with it."

In the days afterwards, Chloe hung out with Clark and Pete, to be around the tall boy. She noticed, using her Big City Girl wits, that Clark was shy and nervous around her, and it made her like him even more; it was terribly cute, and no one else acted like that around her, especially when she was at her old school. And now she knew chatting on the computer with him would be the perfect way to talk to Clark without him using Pete as a shield; she could have him all to herself.

"He said they just GOT the computer...," Pete the Human Shield said, after Clark elbowed him gently. They both thought Chloe was a big city know-it-all sometimes, and liked when they could catch her in a slip-up.

"Look...Kent," Chloe, making sure she glared at Pete for a second before looking and smiling at Clark, then started scribbling notes on a sheet of paper. "Go to MSN, get their messenger...and oh...you'll just forget it...I have an extra AOL disk...I'll help you out after school."

"Uh...can't you just give me the directions?" Clark answered. Pete elbowed Clark, this time for a different reason; he knew that Chloe liked Clark a lot. Clark liked Chloe too; they were friends...and it was comfortable for Clark to be like that. "I have an AOL disk..."

"Oh...OK, Kent," Chloe said, head down, a little sad that she couldn't go over to his house again, that he didn't want her over. "Yeah...Just follow the directions, OK? I'll make it as simple as possible for even you to follow," she said with a little bite. She wrote out what he was supposed to do, what sites to visit to download the right messengers, ripped the paper and shoved it over the top of the seats with a bit of a scowl. But his smile when he took the paper and said thanks made her forget his rejection, and only made her want to help him more. "I'll always help you if you need it...I'm a wiz on the computer."

"OK, Chloe," Clark said; her own smile made her irresistable. He read the paper. "What? 'partygurlloiz' is your AOL sign-on name?"

"Yeah," She looked embarrassed. "Long story."

"Tell us," Pete grinned. "The bus ride is a long one."

"I made it for My cousin, but she doesn't really use it because she really isn't computer savvy like me and she is usually AT a party instead in front of a computer...so I use it." She admitted and gave them an impish smile.

"Not that long of a story, Chloe!" Pete laughed. "You probably just use it talk to older guys!"

"No...gross!" Chloe made a face, but didn't mention that maybe she did chat with older guys, maybe one guy in particular in California. But that was her business, not theirs, not now or ever. "Since this is a boring settlement, I'm going to make a new name that fits my new surroundings."

"Smallville is a nice place," Clark said. "I like it here."

"Kent, you're a 'Farm Aid 2000' walking and talking ad, you know that?" Chloe giggled. "You need a sign-on name so I know how to find you online...how about 'Farmboi' ?" She hid her face and really started to laugh.

"You're mean!" Clark frowned. "Stop laughing."

"How about 'No Game Kent' ?" Pete chimed in, and he and Chloe laughed harder.

"I'm going with 'ClarkKent'," He said, and wrote it down. He passed it to Chloe.

"You're SO original, Kent," Chloe said after she regained her composure, but she traced his name with her finger.

"That's Clark being all unique," Pete ragged and Chloe nodded. "My sign-on is 'PlayaInTheHizzouse', and I'll be seeing ya'all on tonight."

Chloe wrote down Pete's display name next to Clark's when the bus lurched to a stop. The kids ran home from the bus-stop; the grey clouds broke and rain started to fall, slowly then harder on them and the Kansas farmlands.

Chapter One

Much Later...

The bad weather slowed Clark's progress onto the internet super-highway; some of the farm animals had to be penned up. When he and his dad were done, Clark did everything on Chloe's list, and added what she wrote, and added what Pete wrote, He waited for one of them to answer, and he wasn't surprised who answered him first...

Epilogue

The candles had been lit, the wicks now half melted, the dinner was consumed, the drinks were replenished, and Chloe Sullivan and Clark Kent sat on the carpet in the living room of her town house, talking of her old life in Metropolis, of his farm life here in Smallville; they shared a couple of stories, like how Chloe had met her favorite newspaperman, Perry White, at a luncheon for Future Newspapermen of America and like how Clark won a 4-H Blue Ribbon for his goat, Danny.

The mood was set, in Chloe's mind, for another kiss; it was dark in the house, it was rainy, the music from her CD player wasn't loud, and Clark was adorable. It was a much better setting than in front of the barn, and much less impulsive a kiss. Just when Chloe closed her eyes...scooted in, and his eyes went wide...

HONK HONK HONK

It was Clark's father's truck horn. The boy jumped up at the annoying blare, and went to the door; Chloe lurched forward, missing her mark by several feet.

"What the freak?" Chloe yelled out while Clark opened the door.

"It's My mom and dad...sorry," Clark said. The Kents appeared at the doorway.

"Sorry, Chloe...but we need to get Clark home...its an emergency!" Martha Clark, the boy's mother explained. He looked at her then his dad. "The roof of the barn caved in and fences toppled!"

"Gosh!" Chloe said and scrambled to her feet and stood by Clark, her hand on the small of his back.

"I'm sorry to pull Clark away," Jonathan said, "But I really need his help getting the livestock back into their pens."

"I understand," Chloe nodded sadly, and watched the Kents get into the truck. Clark waved bye and she waved back.

"Try and get online before you go to bed," She remembered to yell, but didn't know if he heard while the truck went down the street. "It would be fun to say good night..." Her voice trailed off. 'I SO have a crush on him,' she thought and smiled. Chloe figured there would be other times they would hang out, either online or around town or at their houses. She leaned against the doorframe, watching them leave, and by the time the truck took the turn on her street, she saw her father's red Lincoln taking the turn.

Her father pulled his car into the driveway, and met her at the doorway. "Why the glum face, Snuggle Bunny?"

"The storms freaked me out and My friend Clark was here to keep me company," she said, giving her daddy a hug.

"Clark? That boy you like? That doesn't sound bad," He smiled and kissed the top of her head. They went inside.

"Then his parents picked him up..." Chloe finished, "Just a few minutes ago."

"Oh...that's why you have a pouty face." He knew she really liked the boy.

"Daddy!" She smiled. "Maybe."

While her father ate what Mrs. Kent prepared, Chloe waited in front of her computer, reading up on the Great Meteor Shower of 1989. She found it fascinating. A few hours went by, and she looked at the clock in the corner of the monitor. It was close to 11 PM. She yawned, tired, but happy to spent most of the evening with Clark. She closed out the websites and put the cursor over the MSN Messenger icon in the taskbar.

Suddenly, a MSN Messenger Prompt popped up; it read "clarkkent1991 has just signed in

clarkkent1991 says:
Talk tomorrow?

suLLivanAceReporterGirl says:
Yes! Now...I have to go to bed...

clarkkent1991 says:
me too...

clarkkent1991 says:
Goodnight Chloe!

She grinned huge.

suLLivanAceReporterGirl says:
Goodnight Clark!

It was more than fun, Chloe realized; it was perfect
