Notes: I changed a few things so they could fit the storyline, Clark and Lex aren't friends at all. This takes place the next morning after Lana and Clark had their first night together.

Lana opened her eyes and looked at a sleeping Clark. She lightly traced his features and sighed. He was beautiful. Clark slightly stirred and role closer to Lana. He placed his arm around her and the tips of his fingers rested nicely on her tattoo. The second that he touched her tattoo it began to glow but it wasn't a full transformation. The glow was faint and hindered. Then it stopped altogether.

Isobel opened her eyes and was pleased to find that she had regained control over her good girl counterpart. She looked up at a sleeping man and felt...

Adoration?...

Isobel tried to sit up but was restricted by Clarks rather large arm. She was about to slam him with some magic but her heart wouldn't let her? She looked at him once again. She hadn't felt this way about someone since Jean Pierre, well before he found out that she was a witch and had betrayed her by selling her out to Gertrude.

Finally Clark opened his eyes and whispered "Lana..." Clark looked at Lana for the first time this morning. Her hair was a bit messed from last night but she still looked flawless. Her face was a soft, flushed color. Those nautical eyes were slightly opened but hidden under a furrowed brow. He liked to wake up to her. For her to be the first thing that he'd seen when he'd opened his eyes. He felt the most at home when he was laying in bed with Lana than he'd ever felt in his entire life.

At first Isobel furrowed her eyebrows in disgust, but then she'd realized that he was in love with the other her. She refused to even think the girl's name. This man was hers and it was going to stay that way. Just what was his name again? A voice in her head screamed 'Clark!' Isobel thought that it was strange since when she'd taken over Lana in the past the only thoughts that she could hear were her own. She was also puzzled as to why she had such great adoration for this strange man.

"Clark..." she said as she looked up at him. Her counterpart sure did know how to pick men. He was gorgeous. By far the most attractive man that she had ever seen. He was amazingly attractive in a sexual way and yet at the same time he had one of the most innocent faces. He was just so easy to be in love with. Wait, was this love? Was she in love with this man that she barely knew? Isobel had the strange urge to kiss him, what was wrong with her? She didn't feel like herself.

He leaned down to kiss her, fulfilling her wish, and she didn't resist. She could feel it. Something was different about him. He wasn't like other men. He possessed great strength and great power. He was going to be a very powerful man one day. He could rule the world if he wanted to and yet she felt as though he wouldn't. She could feel how much of an honest person he was. Yes, he could have the world but he would never take it. He wasn't the kind of person to overindulge but she could change that.

"Lana... Are you feeling ok?" Something was different, it wasn't right. The look in her eyes was different. Yes, they were as beautiful as ever but the looked a bit more bleak. She was different. Maybe he was just paranoid though. At least that was what he told himself.

"Never better." Isobel said sitting up only to reveal that she was without clothing. She looked down and shrugged. He had to have seen it before and besides it was him.

Clark knew that if it had been Lana then she would've immediately tried to cover herself and maintain her decency but Isobel didn't care and Clark had taken note of this. Something was wrong. Lana was always nervous about showing too much of her body to even him. Even last night she insisted in being covered by the blanket.

Now Isobel decided to focus on her goals with a little bit of Clark on the side. She needed to find those stones. But who could help her? She'd still had Lana's memories so she knew that she could use that to her advantage. Lex, Lex Luthor he could and would most definitely help her out. Lana had always known that Lex was in love with her but she ignored it. Isobel knew that she could use this to her advantage. A smile crept upon Isobel's face as she made out her plan in her head. Of course if he didn't help her then she could make him. Lana, unfortunately , had never gotten rid of Isobel's old spell book and it contained a few that could help her out.

"So what do you want to do today?" Clark asked as he looked around Lana's apartment as he watched her pick out some clothes. Was it just him or were her movements and mannerisms different as well? Today she'd walked so smugly with her head held up so high. Her face expressions seemed to be different too. Was he crazy for noticing this? Or was he onto something? He still hadn't decided which. Then he noticed something else she had picked out that insanely short black mini skirt that Lana wore last Halloween and a tank top. Lana said it herself that she didn't feel comfortable in tank tops alone. Had what happened last night made her a different person or what? Maybe he was different though. Maybe he was just being paranoid.

"I have to run a few errands so I'll catch up with you later." She walked over to Clark and kissed him passionately. Clark most certainly wasn't used to this. The only time that Lana had ever kissed him with such intensity was last night. She started messing with his hair and caressing the back of his neck too. She was succeeding in getting Clark excited again. He reluctantly but suddenly broke their kiss. If they had continued at the rate that they were going then neither of them would've made it out the door.

"I'll be at home today so come up to my loft around 5 p.m. ok?" Lana or rather Isobel nodded and abruptly left. She was a bit annoyed at not being able to finish their kiss but she had to get over it. If they would've finished their kiss then who knows what would've happened, although Isobel would've have minded it. She would've enjoyed it.

Clark stood there wondering what was going on. He was contemplating getting Chloe involved in this but he decided against it. Maybe Lana was just being weird because of last night? He decided to wait and find out. Clark proceeded to put his clothes back on and try to think of a story to tell his parents why he didn't return home. He knew that there would be questions and for one of the rare times in his life he was going to lie to them. He made sure to close the door behind him and supersped home.

Isobel walked up the steps to the Luthor mansion. A maid answered the door. "I need to speak to Lex Luthor." Isobel spat at her. Then she remembered that she had to keep up the Lana facade, including the way the girl acted. So she put on her fakest goodie goodie smile and politely said "I'm sorry I'm not feeling well this morning but can I please speak to him? It's very urgent."

"Lana, Lex is currently indisposed."

"I don't care!" Isobel had the worst temper. Now she'd have to get rid of this annoying woman.

"I'm sorry but you'll have to wait."

Isobel said a spell making the woman disappear. No one was going to delay her.

She walked into Lex's office where he was clad in red silk pajamas. It was rather early. "Lex."

"Uh, Lana!" Lex said as he stared at her. The love of his life. His forbidden fruit. LANA. He looked at what she was wearing and momentarily wondered if she was feeling ok. The reality donned on him the girl of his dreams was standing in his office wearing some rather revealing clothing so who cares how she feels?

"Lex I need your help." Isobel was trying her best to fake being Lana and she thought that she was doing a damn good job so far.

"With what?"

"I need to find these stones."

"For what?"

"Because it's important." she was getting rather impatient with him. She didn't want to give him to much information of her motive because that might blow her cover.

"What if I do help you?" Lex said as he allowed a sinister smile to creep upon his face. "What do I get?" He could use this situation to his advantage.

"What do you want?" Isobel said playing along.

"You."

"In what way?" normally Isobel would've blasted him already but she knew that to find the stones it would take time and she couldn't risk blowing her cover.

"In every way."
