Lana lay on the floor clinging to what used to be Whitney's truck, which was spinning around inside the twister. She heard the door rip off the truck and she knew she wasn't going to be able to hold onto the truck for much longer. She looked up and she thought she saw Clark climb into the truck after her. 'If that's really him, I'm safe now.'

"Everything's going to be okay. We'll both get out of here."She felt him lie down on the floor on top of her holding her down so she wouldn't go anywhere. 'It's strange, this is one of the most terrible moments of my life, but I've never felt safer.' She felt Clark's arms wrap tighter around her. When she opened her eyes she was looking straight down. 'Oh my God! We're really high up.' And with that thought the world started to fade into blackness. 'I hope I make it through this.' Next thing she knew she was being quickly brought back to reality when someone shone a really bright light in both her eyes. 'Ow, my head feels like I've hit with a really big book.'

"She's gonna be all right. Can you tell me her name?" 'Lana Lang.' she tried to say, but she couldn't manage to get any sound to come out of her mouth. Before long she was asleep or unconscious, she couldn't tell which. When she woke up she found that she was at Smallville Medical Center in a room filled with other people. When the doctor came in she found out that she had a mild concussion, but nothing was broken. He also told her that a Mr. Kent had brought her in. 'I can rest at home. I'm sure there are people who need this more than I do.' As she was packing there clothes that someone had changed her out of she heard someone come in.

"Hey, Dorothy, back from Oz?"

"Chloe."

"What are you doing? Shouldn't you be in bed for like a moth?

"I'm okay. The doctor says it's just a mild concussion. Besides, a lot of people need this bed a lot more than I do."

"Well, I'm just glad you're okay. What happened?" Together they walked out into the hall.

"Well, I was driving back after dropping Whitney off, when the wind picked up. This, uh, mailbox slammed against my windshield, and I went off the road. That's when I saw the twisters. Before I know it, the truck was being sucked up."

"God. And you walked away with a small bump. That's amazing, even by Smallville standards."

"No, it's impossible." 'I shouldn't have survived that.'

"What!"

"Nothing. The next think I knew, I was waking up here."

"So you clicked your heels, said, "There's no place like home," and ended up in Smallville Medical Center."

"Apparently Clark brought me in."

"Clark?"

"Yeah, have you seen him?"

"No, not since he vanished from the dance. I spent three hours looking for him." 'Oh no. Because he saved me Chloe's night was ruined.'

"Guess the Spring Formal was kind of a bust, huh?"

"Yeah, well, at least now I know where he disappeared to."

"If it's any consolation, you guys look great together."

"It's not, but thanks." Chloe turned and walked over to the door, while she went over to sign herself out. When she got home, Nell told her the Talon had set up a relief center, and she decided to go over to help out. When she got there she saw Clark and his mom putting up Mr. Kent's picture on the missing person board.

"Clark. Any luck?"

"We looked all night. The search and rescue team combed the farm but didn't find anything either. I don't know what to do. He's been missing for over 12 hours. And. . ." She put her hand on his arm. 'He looks so sad. Well, I guess I would be too if Nell had gone missing.'

"You'll find him, Clark. I know it."

"Thanks. I thought you'd be home recuperating."

"I wanted to help. You know, a lot of people helped me out after the meteor shower. Meant a lot."

"I'm just glad you're okay."

"So how did you find me?"

"I was lucky, I guess. You were in a field next to the road. You must have been thrown free from the truck." 'That's not what happened at all. Well, not from what I saw at least.'

"Is that really what happened?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"I just keep seeing something that doesn't make any sense. The truck was caught up in the tornado, and you. . uh. You just,"

"Clark." His mom came over to them. "No new word."

"I'd better get back to work. You'll find him." 'I just know it.' She walked into the back room to get a cup of coffee. Later that day she was watching the news when she saw what was left of the truck being towed away.

"Here we se a terrifying example of the tornado's fury. This truck was literally ripped apart. Incredibly, the young driver, Lana Lang, survived. Reminding us that, even in the midst of utter devastation, miracles can happen." The news caster was saying.

"It must have been awful for you." She turned around and saw Mrs. Kent.

"Yeah, I don't think I've ever been that scared in my entire life."

"I'm glad you're all right." She gave Lana a hug.

"Thanks for all your help, Mrs. Kent. I know it must be hard for you right now."

"I'm a saint." They both laughed. "I just can't believe how familiar all this feels."

"The meteor shower?"

"Yeah. God. I remember it like it was yesterday." They sat down on the stairs, out of the way.

"Yeah, me too." 'Those were the worst days of my life.'

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to dredge up bad memories."

"It's okay. For so long it seemed to define me. That fairy princess picture on Time magazine."

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, you made one wish come true that day." 'How did I do that?' "Jonathan and I were in Nell's buying flowers, right before the meteor shower and you were sitting on the counter with your wings and want and you asked me if I wanted to make a wish, so I did. And not long after that Clark came into our lives. I've never even told Clark that story."

"Clark is so lucky to have you and Mr. Kent as parents. I've always been envious. You seem so open."

"I'm glad that you and Clark have become so close."

"Yeah. Me too. We should go back to work."

"I'm gonna go back home and see if Clark found anything."

"Call me if you find him, okay."

"I will." That night when she went home Clark called her and told her that they had found his dad. The next morning she took a walk over to the Kent farm and found Clark in the barn.

"What are you doing, Clark?"

"Just thinking."

"Looks like you're hiding."

"I just can't wait for things to get back to normal."

"It won't"

"Why do you say that?" 'Because I speak from experience.' She walked over and sat down on the step next to him.

"Nell used to tell me that after the meteor shower. But these events change you. Wipes out your illusions. You discover things about yourself."

"What'd you discover?"

"I've always had this sense that I was going to die young. Maybe because of my parents. Felt guilty I'd survived. When the tornado came, I thought this was it, fate had finally found me." 'Actually it was more like, oh my God, I'm gonna die.' "Then I saw you in the truck and you put your arms around me and told me everything was going to be okay. I know, it sounds crazy. But I started to think of all the other times you've been there to protect me. I thought, 'Maybe there's more to Clark Kent than meets the eye.'"

"You're right. It does sound crazy. There's nothing more to me than what you see." 'Really?'

"Clark. You know you can tell me anything, right?"

"I know, Lana. But I wasn't in that truck." 'I know what I saw, and you were right there with me.'

"Then how did I survive? It doesn't make any sense."

"Maybe you just weren't meant to die young."

"Just remember: you can't hide out here forever." She walked past him and down the stairs and out the door back towards her house. 'This is great. Now Clark thinks I'm crazy too, but I know what I saw. He was right there with me. Why won't he admit it?'
