Chloe's Birthday Present

By tnick

Part 1

Clark was wondering what to get Chloe for her 16th

birthday. It was only a couple of days away. He had

thought about gift certificates ,like last year , but he

wanted to get her something a little more personal

this year.

"Pete what are you getting Chloe for her

birthday?" asked Clark as he looked toward his

bestfriend who was sitting with him in Clark's fortress

of solitude.

"Clark I got Chloe's gift weeks ago. She told me

she wanted that new movie from Disney "Atlantis" so that's what I picked her up. You know how much she likes Disney flicks." answered Pete. "Do you mean you haven't gotten her gift yet?"

"Nope . Any suggestions? "asked Clark.

"Clark, I think she would like anything from you, but just a suggestion no gift certificates this year. Chloe deserves better. You know Clark... she spent a lot of time picking out that sweater she gave you last year."

"I know and I really feel bad about that gift for last year." mentioned Clark as he sat in the chair by his telescope. "God, I am going to have to get her something really good."

"Come on Clark you still have 2 days before the party.

That's plenty of time. Look Clark think about it tonight and let me know if I can help. I have to get home . I have a 10 page essay on the civil war due tomorrow and I haven't started yet."

"Bye Pete . Thanks for your imput."said Clark as Pete stood up to head out of the barn.

"Ok See you on the bus tomorrow." and with that Pete was gone.

Clark just sat there and tried to think of what Chloe would really like.

All of a sudden it came to him. The perfect gift for Chloe. Now all he had to do was get her father's permission.

A smile lit his face. He really had thought of the perfect gift. Chloe was going to love it. Clark raced out of the barn. He had plans to make.
