It was a clear night that evening and Clark was supposedly watching stars with his telescope, but in truth he was watching Lana. Ever since that horrible date with her under the influence of the red kryptonite she had been totally pissed at him. No matter how he tried to apologize she hadn't forgiven him. Clark sighed.

"What are you doing Clark?" a voice said as its owner came up the stairs.

Clark was startled and stood up, knocking his telescope off of Lana's house. He was immediately relieved, it was only Pete.

"You scared me Pete. Doesn't anyone knock anymore?"

"Clark Kent scared? If any one should be scared it should be me. You have all those super powers to protect yourself with. I don't." Pete replied.

"Everyone's scared at one time in their life. For me it was that tornado."

Clark sat down by his telescope again, it was starting to get a little chilly and it was almost ten o' clock.

"Lana watching night isn't it? She's still pretty ticked at you. Ditching her for that other girl was a rather low blow."

"I didn't mean to do anything that I did that night. Even that whole week I did things I shouldn't have. Now I can't even be more than ten yards away from her with out her glaring at me."

Clark looked through his telescope, when he had bumped it moved towards the edge of the Smallville woods. There he saw something almost glowing in the darkness of the woods.

"Pete! Come look at this!" Clark shouted.

Pete looked in the telescope, his eyes widened at this sight.

"What is that?!"

"I don't know Pete. But it's certainly not normal."

"Well I could have told you that." Pete's voice sounded rather annoyed.
