Chapter 1

"Summer Internship"

The Summer was just beginning. Clark, Lois and Chloe had just finished a year studying journalism at MET. U. All three were doing an internship at 'The Daily Planet' over their Summer break.

Everything was going great this past year. Clark had finally outgrown his infatuation with Lana, he realized his relationship with her was based on lust more than love. But if she needed him for something he still couldn't say no, but that was part of the man he was. He helped anyone who needed him. Over the past year Clark and Lois had grown a lot closer. They still fought more than all the gangs in Metropolis combined, but they were spending a lot more time together. In fact they now considered themselves best friends. Chloe knew all they needed was a push in the right direction and they would be a couple in no time. And since working at 'The Daily Planet' they had met a couple of other students from MET. U., who were also working on internships. The most memorable of these was Jimmy Olsen, who was working on an internship as a photojournalist. Everyone working at The planet could see he had a crush on Chloe, and Clark and Lois saw something no one else saw, Chloe had a crush on Jimmy but wouldn't admit it. Clark and Chloe had been speaking with Pete a lot more lately, and he was planning on visiting them in a little while. Chloe couldn't wait for Pete to meet her cousin Lois, and Pete couldn't wait for them to meet his new girlfriend. As for Lana, she had moved on from Clark. She was now with Lex, despite the many warnings she had received, especially from Clark. Lex was just as obsessed as ever with Clark's secret, but he seemed happy to be with Lana. Martha and Lionel were growing closer since Jonathan's death, and Lionel was keeping his word. He hadn't done anything to jeopardize Clark's secret and he was becoming a good man. Clark trusted him now, and was happy for his mother and Lionel.

It was another day at 'The Daily Planet'. Clark and Lois sat by Chloe's desk, while she put the finishing touches on her most recent article for this weeks addition of 'The Daily Planet'. Chloe had a little more freedom with her articles than Clark and Lois, due to the fact that she had previously worked on an internship with 'The Planet'. While Chloe worked Clark saw through the corner of his eye Jimmy Olsen approach. Clark tapped Lois and pointed to Jimmy, Lois turned back to Clark and they shared a devilish smile.

"Here are the photos for your story, Chloe," Jimmy said as he reached the desk.

"Thanks, Jimmy. Just leave them on my desk," Chloe replied without turning her head from her computer.

Clark and Lois both turned their heads to look at Jimmy, who was still watching Chloe.

"Actually, Chloe, I was wondering if you'd like to go out for dinner maybe? Or coffee?" Asked Jimmy.

"Hear that Chloe?" Clark said sarcastically to a stunned Chloe.

"Well actually, Jimmy, Clark, Lois and I had plans for-"

"But she'd love to go!" Lois cut Chloe off.

"Great," Jimmy said with Joy evident in his voice.

"It's a date," Clark said to mock Chloe, as Jimmy returned to his desk.

Chloe continued to smile until Jimmy was out of sight then she look at Lois with anger.

"OW!" Lois screeched as Chloe kicked her under the desk.

"Thanks a lot cuz," Chloe fumed.

"What? He's cute. A little geeky, but cute," Lois pointed out.

"No he's not!"

"Yes he is, and you're going out with him Saturday," Lois retorted.

"Girls," Clark interrupted seeing Jimmy coming toward them.

Both girls turned to see Jimmy.

"Hi," both said.

"Chloe I forgot to ask what time you wanted to go out," he said. "Eight okay?"

Chloe heard Clark and Lois giggle behind her, and an idea for revenge popped into her head.

"Yeah, actually Clark, Lois and I were discussing it, and we thought it would be a good idea if the four of us went out Saturday on a double date." Chloe looked back to see Clark and Lois' faces drop. She smiled satisfied with herself then turned back to Jimmy.

"You know, you and me, Clark and Lois," Chloe finished.

"No!" Lois and Clark said at once.

"Sure, sounds fun," Jimmy said leaving.

"No way!" Clark said.

"How could you do that to us Chloe?" Lois asked.

"It's called payback Lois. All's fair in love and war."

"That was low, Chloe," Clark said disgusted.

"Lois was the one who set the bar, Clark."

"Lane, Kent! Boss wants to see you in his office," the receptionist called out.

"Great! First, Smallville and I have to go on a date together, now we're probably gonna be fired."

"Lois, I don't think you can be fired on an internship," Chloe responded.

"There's a first time for everything, Chloe. Come on Smallville," and with that Lois dragged Clark to the elevator.

Chloe laughed to herself. They made the perfect couple even though neither would admit it. That was part of the reason Chloe suggested the double date.
