A/N : My first attempt at a fic that is not mainly Chlex. This fic is about Clark and a mysterious girl he meets. I don't know if it's going to pan out quite right but I'm going to try and get the mix of ideas in my head down on the page.

The time frame for this is just after the end of my Chlex fic 'Whirlwind Romance' but this should still make sense even if you haven't read that one.

Anyway, here we go with the first chapter...

Disclaimer : I own one character and that is Megan. All the other characters are not mine.

Clark loved to wander through the fields in the summer sun. It was peaceful and relaxing and it gave him a chance to do some thinking. Life had been hectic the last couple of months. Chloe was kidnapped, then the same guy took Lana, and Clark saved the day as usual.

He asked Chloe to the Spring Formal, only to abandon her to go and save Lana, which he still felt guilty about, even though she had forgiven him. Chloe had got together with Lex, after Clark and her had realised they were better off just being friends and with Whitney changing his mind and not going to the Marines, he was back in Smallville and back with Lana.

Clark had hated this fact at first, but later realised that what he felt for Lana wasn't love at all, it was just a crush, like what Chloe had felt for him and now it was over he and Lana could just be friends.

Clark thought about all these things as he crossed the field and climbed over the fence onto the road. As he started to wander down the road something caught his eye. As he got closer he saw a person with a truck that he assumed had broken down.

"Need some help?!" Clark called to the figure he had spotted. All he could make out was a head of brown hair and a pair of shoulders and arms under the hood of the red truck. As he got closer he realised the guy he thought he'd seen was not a guy at all. A pair of blue eyes appeared and watched Clark's steady approach. As he reached the vehicle, Clark realised not only that this person as a girl but that she was a beautiful girl. Her eyes shone like sapphires in her perfect face and her lips formed a gorgeous smile. What shocked Clark even more that the beauty of this girl was the fact she was up to her elbows in grease and under the hood of a truck! He was suddenly aware at how rude he was being, just standing and staring at her, but the mysterious girl made light of his amazement.

"What's the matter?" she smirked, "You never seen a girl fixing her broken down truck before?"

Clark confessed he hadn't and the girl just laughed. "It's okay," she told him, "my dad taught me this kind of stuff when I was a kid. Between you and me, I think he'd have preferred a son to a daughter"

Clark smiled and held out his hand to shake that of the girl.

"My name's Clark"

"I'm Megan" she replied, taking the hand he offered and shaking it before hurriedly apologising for covering him he car oil. He smiled and told her it was fine. "Hey, did I hear you offer me some help?" she asked, quickly changing the subject away from her mistake. Clark smiled even more widely, he just loved to help people in trouble - Chloe called it his 'Saviour Complex'.

"What do you need?" he asked his new acquaintance.

"Well the problems fixed, but I'm running low on gas. Is there anywhere nearby where I can fill up?"

"Well, there's no garage for miles..." Clark began, before having a pleasing thought, "but our farms just down the next road. I'm sure my Dad has enough gas to get you to the town"

Megan managed only a faint smile, as she pushed the hair out of her face with the only clean part of her arm she had left. Suddenly she didn't feel so good. He was very hot and dizzy and wondered if perhaps it was the effect on the gorgeous guy in front of her, but seriously, she told herself she'd been out in the sun too long.

"Thanks" she managed to say and Clark began to notice how pale and shaky she'd become.

"Are you feeling okay?" he asked, genuinely concerned for her. Megan took a deep breath before she answered.

"I'm fine," she lied, "I just feel..." she stepped away from the truck and her legs gave way beneath her. She never hit the ground as Clark caught her easily. He couldn't help but notice how perfect she looked, even if she was unconscious. He stood with her in his arms for a moment. Even though he'd only just met her, Clark had never felt like this about anyone. Sure, Megan was gorgeous, but so was Lana. Megan had a sense of humour and a knack for sarcasm, kind of like Chloe, but different too. Clark didn't know what it was but there was definitely something different about this girl.

"Clark?" she stirred in his arms and brought him back to reality.

"It's okay Megan," he told her gently, "I'm going to take care of you" He lifted her effortlessly into the truck before closing the door and then turning back and closing down the hood. Then he jumped into the drivers seat and headed for the Kent Farm.

A/N : Well, what do you think? Please review, but be kind cos I'm a bit worried about this fic at the moment, as it's my first non-Chlex piece.
