Note: One Hearts on a hiatus cause it's sloppy. This wont be, I promise. Anyway, I wanted to bring out a brighter more likable side of Lana. In this version, Lana broke up with Lex a few months ago, found out Clark's secret and has been keeping it, and they're all happy friends. Blah blah blah, this is how I would do Smallville if I owned it. Well anyway, read and review and I'll love you forever.

Smallville Main Street

"Caramel." Chloe smiled.

"Ewe, Chloe. Pistachio." Lana nodded.

"Pistachio? Please." Chloe rolled her eyes playfully. "Caramel is the best."

"Nope." Lana said, simply. "You're wrong. Hey-I wonder what they would taste like together?"

"Icky. Because there would be pistachio in it." Chloe grinned. Lana let out a soft giggle.

"Whatever. Why are we talking about ice cream while were drinking coffee?"

"Coffee and ice cream would be good." Chloe blurted out. "Hmmm.. how about pouring coffee onto ice cream? Sounds yummy."

"Oh, gross. Not on pistachio." Lana frowned.

"It'd be good on caramel."

"No it wouldn't. Too..too...it'd be too something." Lana thought about it. "I don't know, it just wouldn't be good."

"That's very insightful, Lana." Chloe laughed, pushing her arm lightly into her friends arm. Lana giggled and pushed back, struggling to hold onto her cup.

"Stooop. You're gonna make me drop it."

"You'd deserve it, Pistachio lover."

"Pfft." Lana stuck her tongue out in response, not being able to come up with a good comeback. Chloe smiled and shook her head, looked away.

Snow crunched under the two young women's feet as they walked in long slick coats with paper cups in their gloved hands. They both smiled and giggled, gossiping about what was going on in their lives, deciding to give reality a shove in the other direction for the time being. No talk of Clark, no talk of Jimmy. Just about themselves.

"God, Smallville in the winter is so great." Lana smiled.

"And freaking cold as well." Chloe replied, sipping on the coffee. "If it weren't for this frappachino, I'll be an icicle now."

"Thank god for coffee, then?" Lana grinned. Chloe laughed and nodded in agreement.

"Ah, as much as I love this girls day, it has to come to an end." Chloe frowned as she looked at her watch. It was now 7 PM. "Unless you wanna sleep over? Lois went to visit Uncle Sam."

"How long has it been since we did that?" Lana grinned, almost excited. "I'd love to, Chlo."

"Great. It'll be like old times when we were Freshmen." Chloe laughed, excited as well.

"Old times. I need that right now." Lana nodded, sipping the last of her coffee, then throwing the cup with Chloe's in a near by trash can.

The Talon

"Why do you have Candy Land, Chloe..?" Lana asked as she went through Chloe's boardgames. Chloe looked over her shoulder from her laptop and laughed.

"I don't know, I think it's Lois's."

"Mhm, sure." Lana joked as she pushed the happy pink box back into the pile and kept going through them.

When they heard a knock on the door, Chloe jumped up to get it. She grabbed the knob, praying it wasn't Clark or Lois. But who was there was weird indeed.

"Oliver? What're you doing..here?" Chloe raised her eyebrows. Lana looked over curiously to watch the two.

"I just wanted to talk to Lois." Oliver looked around the room, spotting Lana.

"Yeah, well, I can assure you she doesn't want to talk to you." Chloe frowned, attempting to close the door.

"Is she here?" He asked, pushing his hand out so the door wouldn't close.

"No, she's with the General." She sighed, opening the door back up.

"Oh. Well, now that I have you, I wanted to talk to you as well. Can you come out?"

"Nothing you can say in front of Lana." Chloe crossed her arms, not really expecting him to cooperate.

"Chloe.." Oliver replied, narrowing his eyes. Chloe rolled her eyes and turned to Lana.

"I'll be back in a minute, pretty boy is shy I suppose." Chloe said, making Lana giggle and nod. Chloe walked out of the room and closed the door. She followed him into the empty coffee shop, then blurted out. "What do you want? Why couldn't you tell me there, Lana knows Clark's secret now."

"Okay, don't be mad at me, alright? And wait-what?" Oliver asked, confused. "Does she know about 33.1?"

"No. Theres only so much she can handle." Chloe sighed, and persisted for him to continue.

"Well that's the reason why I didn't tell you in there. Anyway, why're you mad at me?

"I'm so frustrated with the stupid hero complex and keeping secrets. Lois was perfectly ready to accept your secret and-"

"Okay. Okay. I deserve that. Besides, I had to leave anyway, I didn't want her leaving Smallville and her friends for me. She deserves better. Alright?" Oliver sighed, looking her straight in the eye. Chloe frowned and nodded. "Anyway..I wanted to thank you for your help on the 33.1 project and all."

"Yeah, sure." Chloe nodded, her rude tone disappearing. "Is that all? What were you going to talk to Lois about?"

"None of your concern. And yes, that's all, I guess. When is Lois going to be back?" Oliver asked, all at once.

"A few weeks."

Oliver nodded. "Well, I'm staying in Metropolis for a while and thought I could make things clearer between Lois and I."

"Oh, trust me, it couldn't be more clearer." Chloe frowned, crossing her arms.

"Right, so I'm guessing her seeing me wouldn't be the best idea?"

"Not at all."

"Right." Oliver sighed. "Well, fine. Do you know where Clark is?"

"Where else would he be?"

"Right." He repeated. "See you."

Chloe raised her eyebrows and nodded, turning back around and walking up the steps. She opened the door to have a Lana fall on her from leaning on the door. Chloe laughed "Lana."

"Uhm. Hem. So how about that caramel?" Lana said quickly.

"How much did you hear?" Chloe rolled her eyes playfully.

"Enough to know you don't like Oliver Queen." Lana giggled, closing the door for Chloe.

"Yeah, well, he isn't exactly on my favorites at the moment." Chloe frowned, turning.

"And you make it very unnoticeable." Lana scoffed, falling onto the couch. Chloe grinned and nodded.

"I do. But how can I like someone who broke my cousins heart?"

"Clark broke mine." Lana frowned.

"Ouch. Well. Hm." Chloe thought about it. "Well, you know, me and Clark have been friends a long time. I don't care enough about Oliver to like him."

"It's alright, Chloe." Lana laughed. "Lets forget it. Remember, no Clark."

"You brought it up." Chloe accused.

"And now I'm bringing it down."

"That makes sense?" Chloe raised her eyebrows.

"Just pretend." Lana nodded. Chloe smiled and nodded back.

"Noooo Clark."
