THE TRIP TO THE PAST

Welcome to Smallville! Home of the meteors! G-d those meteors fell ages ago! I stiffled a laugh, knowing all too well that my mother would scold me.

I hadn't seen Jake or any of the Kents in 3 years. I had managed to convince my mother and grand mere to allow me time off of "Princess Lessons", as I liked to call them.If you're wondering why I'm going to see Superman and his family? My dad is Batman himself, and my mom is the wonderful Wonder Woman.

" Airebella," My mother chides " Airebella!" she says with a little more force.

" Yes?" I ask as I turn away from the tinted windows of the car.

"I want you to know that this isn't going to be a more than a three day escapade." She warned

I laughed " Mom I know that you're dying to see Louise!"

She was about to protest when the car pulled up the long entrance to the farm. I pulled my oversized Steve Madden glasses up halfway up my head, pulling my long dark brown hair away from my face. Looking at everyone waiting for us to arrive.

Louise and Clark still looked the same. Still so in love. Louise was as tall as my mom 5'10"and had long light brown hair with blue eyes. Clark was tall muscular at 6'7". He had black hair and blue-green eyes.

Johnathan had grown about 4 inches since I had last seen him making him about 6'5". He had light brown hair and light blue eyes. He looked alot like his mother. He had softer features that made him inviting. He loud and talkative.

Jake on the other hand was distant and silent.

He resembled his father more at 6'4". He had dark brown hair and deep blue eyes with a hint of green. His features constantly challenged you.

I jumped out of the car as soon as the car was stationary. John was the first to give me a hug. He was like my big over protective brother. Louise was able to pull herself away from my mom to give me a motherly hug. Clark gave me a hug like I had been gone for decades than 3 years.

Jake hung back aparaising me. I had grown from 5'4" to a tall 5'9". He took in the plain black long sleeved T-shirt, dark washed jeans ,and my "classic" black and white converse high tops.

He looked lost in thought. He was thinking about the last time we had seen each other . That was probably the reason that he didn't come running to me. Quite frankly I didn't blame him.

FLASHBACK 3 YEARS AGO

" Bella, I wont see you for G-d knows how long! How I'm I going to cope without you?" He demanded as he held me to him tightly.Even though I knew he was 14 he looked more like a 17 year old guy.

"I don't know Jake," He squeezed me tighter." Also how I'm I going to manage living in Themysira with my Grand mere?" He chuckled knowing that It would be posture, grammar, and appearance everyday.

We had ridden our horses to our favorite place next to the small brook and a huge, ancient oak. We stood there locked in a sad embrace. I had known Jake and John my entire life. Every weekend ,since as long as I can remember, we had alternated between each others house. Gothom was in New York. Smallville was in Kansas.

Jake and I hadn't taken a real interest to each other until we were about 12. Jake rarely talked and was the observer in our little group. John was loud and never stop his questions until you had to threaten him. I was in the middle, not to quiet and not annoyingly chatty. I was one of the few who was able to get Jake to let down his barrier and to make john shut up for five minutes.

I was leaving in an hour knowing that my heart was going to break. Jake pulled back a little to stare at my expression. " Do you have to go?" He asked desperately.

"Yes." I admitted seeing sadness color his features. "Grand mere and mom fought over it for an hour. Dad even joined in."

He rested his head on my shoulder pulling me closer. My phone rang abruptly making us jump. I reluctantly pulled it to my ear. " Aireblla Marie Wane!" She bellowed into the phone. " Where are you? I went to Clark's home to find that Jake, the horses,and the you were gone! I want you here this instant! Jake can return the horses."

" Yes ma'am." Knowing that an arguement was useless.

" I thought that we had more time?" He wispered in shock. I had already known that he would use his super hearing to listen in.

Tears poured down my face as I looked into his dark blue green eyes." I guess this is good-bye."

" I guess so ...Good-bye Bella." He said as a tear ran down his handsome face

" Good-bye Jake." I said through my tears. I leaned up and kissed his lips before breaking our embrace.

I took in his shocked and pleased face before teleporting to my mother.
