Chapter 1: Where Am I?

Clark didn't know how he got here. He was in a dark room and he couldn't see a single thing. All he could hear was,

"Woah! Woah! Woah!" It echoed all throughout the area. "Woah! Woah! Woah!" Then he started singing something against his will.

"Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waiting for." He had never heard the melody or the words before. "Been searchin' in the dark. Your sweat soakin' through the floor." Somehow he knew every word and was singing in tune. "And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore. Takin' your breath. Stealin' your mind. And all that was real is left behind." He started marching on beat. "Don't fight it it's comin' for ya, runnin' at 'cha." The lights went on, on beat as well. "It's only this moment, don't care what comes after. Your fever dream can't you see it's gettin' closer. Just surrender cause you feel the feelin' takin' over." He started walking towards the center of the ring. "It's fire, it's freedom, it's floodin' open. It's a preacher in the pulpit and you'll find devotion. There's something breakin' at the brick of every wall that's holdin' all that you know." He stopped to face the bleachers. "So tell me do you wantaya go?" The lights completely went on. "Where it's covered in all the colored lights. Where the runaways are runnin' the night." Clark realized that he wasn't alone on "stage". Several other people were around him and each one in a colorful costume. They were singing with him. "It's takin' over you. Oh, this is the greatest show!" Wait, was that Diana's voice? "We light it up; we won't come down. And the sun can't stop us now. Watchin' it come true; it's takin' over you. Oh, this is the greatest show!" The other performers made a circle around him and danced in the circumference of the circle. "It's everything you ever want. It's everything you ever need. And it's here right in front of you. This is where you wanna be." Then the audience and the other performers faded out. "It's everything you ever want." The music died down quickly. "It's everything you ever need. And it's here right in front of you." The music stopped. "This is where you wanna be. It's everything you ever want. It's everything you ever need. And it's here right in front of you."

Clark was then put into a dark and empty void. He couldn't see or feel anything except for the floor on his feet.

"Hello?" he called. "Anyone here?" No answer. "Hello? Guys, can you hear me? Hello?!" He tried desperately to find someone for 3-4 minutes. After that time, he found that the world was brightening up. The environment around him changed and he found himself walking up a driveway to a large, yellow mansion. He stopped once he realized where he was.

"Wait, how did I get here?" Clark asked himself. He then looked down in his hands and saw that he had a top hat in his hands. "And when did I get a top hat?" He then looked back up at the mansion. "Well, maybe there are some answers at that house." He resumed walking up to the house. When he reach the door, it was opened by a white haired man with some wrinkles. "Sir, I know I don't have or come from much, but I'll take care of your daughter. And I'll give her a life grander than this one." Clark then made a puzzled face.

'Wait, where did THAT come from?' he thought. Then he saw a young blonde haired woman walking down the stairs. In an insist, he knew who it was, the man's daughter, Charity Halley. He smiled. 'She's...beautiful. Woah Smallville! Hold up! You're with Lois. She's your girlfriend. Don't even go there.'

"She'll be back," her father said. "Soon she'll grow tired of your world of having nothing. And she'll be back." Charity by then was right behind her father. She hugged him briefly and then took Clark's arm and they headed down the driveway into the unknown.

Clark closed his eyes briefly and when he opened them he saw that they were in Manhattan. They were in the train yard area. Clark then started singing a song that he didn't know in word or melody.

"Every night I lie in bed. The brightest colors fill my head. A million dreams are keepin' me awake." He then started dancing with her as smoke started to swirl around them. "I think of what the world could be. A vision of the one I see. A million dreams is all it's gonna take." He then pulled out a ring box, opened it, and got on one knee. "Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make."

'What am I doing?!' Clark inwardly screamed. 'Why am I proposing to this woman?' The song continued on as they enter their apartment.

"However big, however small. Let me be part of it all," Charity sang. "Share your dreams with me. You may be right. You may be wrong. But say that you'll bring me along." They were now on the roof of the apartment dancing in the pale moonlight. "To the world you see."

'How have I not dropped her yet?' Clark thought. 'I'm not THIS good of a dancer.'

"To the world I close my eyes to see. I close my eyes to see," they both sang.

"Cause every night I lie in bed," Clark sang quietly. "The brightest colors fill my head."

"A million dreams are keepin' me awake," Charity sang.

"A million dreams, a million dreams," Clark sang.

"I think of what the world could be," they both sang. "A vision of the one I see. A million dreams is all it's gonna take! A million dreams for the world we're gonna make!" The music died down and now they were back in their apartment. "For the world we're gonna make."

'Wait she's pregnant!?' Clark inwardly exclaimed. 'I didn't... What's going on?'

He then disappeared into darkness for the transition time.
