A/N: This is a Smallville/Gilmore Girls crossover, so Smallville fans gather round! (GG fans should already be here!) Please review…small flames, since this is my first Smallville fic, and crossover fic. This occurs during season 4 of both series, when Rory is dating no one, in the beginning episodes. Clark and Rory! I think…I'm not sure yet. Review! Review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Smallville or Gilmore Girls. What are the chances of me owning both of them anyways?
The New Guy
Rory PoV
Rory Gilmore walked into Luke's diner and saw Lorelai sitting there, flirting with Luke as always. She sat down next to her, and raised her arm. "Coffee please, Luke…"
"How were your classes' today hon?" Lorelai Gilmore asked. Rory grunted in frustration and put her head on her arms. "Ugh…"
Lorelai smiled playfully. "Hey, wanna know something…"
Rory grunted without looking up.
"I know something you don't know…" she sang.
Rory propped her head up on her arms and forced a smile. "What? What do you know?"
Lorelai smiled brightly as Luke poured them coffee. "You know that place where Dwayne used to live?"
"Who?"
"Dwayne…the guy with all the board games and the obsession about his lawn! I hear he got chased away by his ex-wife…So, some new family moved in…"
Rory, who had put her head back down, suddenly lifted it quickly back up. "Really?"
Lorelai nodded with a smirk on her face. "A couple and their son…a real hunk! Strong too! I'm not sure how old he is, but I hear they're from somewhere in Kansas! A farm boy! You've never dated one of those!"
Rory smiled at her mother. "You are so crazy…" Lorelai smiled back at her and took a sip of her coffee.
Clark PoV
A new life, a new school, a new home, a new place. New people, new…everything… Clark Kent sat on his bed, which was in a new room. He looked around, and thought this house shared a strong resemblance to his old home. Only without the memories, and it was much cheaper.
Stars Hollow…the name was very…cozy…
Clark felt sad to leave behind all his friends and home in his last year of high school, but when his parents had lost the farm, they had no choice. But he almost felt happy to start anew. A new chance to be someone else, someone different. Someone who could be depended on…At last he was away from Jor-El, and he felt glad that people didn't know about his strange disappearances and behavior, especially lately, with his "amnesia".
"Clark!"
Clark slowly walked downstairs. "Yeah Dad?" he called from inside the house. His father motioned to him. "Can you get this last box down?"
Clark nodded and picked up the heavy box and headed inside. As he put the box away, he headed back outside. "Anything else Dad?" he said sadly. Jonathan Kent shook his head just as two brown-haired women walked up.
"See…told you he was hot…" the older one of them whispered, which Clark picked up with his super hearing. He blushed, but no one understood why.
"Hi, I'm Lorelai Gilmore, nice to meet you," Lorelai shook their hands. "This is my daughter, Rory," Lorelai said. Rory smiled shyly, and strangely enough, Clark could feel his heart skip a beat. He shook Rory's hand as a confused look covered his face. "Daughter? But you hardly look old enough…" Clark started but he stopped at seeing Rory's face. He felt strange…he had never felt this nervous around anyone other then Lana Lang.
Lorelai began to talk to Jonathan and Martha politely as Clark watched Rory. "I'm Clark, Clark Kent," he introduced himself, but a silence followed. Rory was the first to speak. "So…are you in college?" She slowly said but Clark shook his head. "I'm in my senior year of high school, I was, uh, born late," Clark said, but he knew the reason he was a year back in school was because his parents kept him home for one more year, adjusting to his abilities and how they were not sure of his age. "I'm going to a school called, uh…"
"Probably Stars Hollow High, it's the closest high school around." Rory answered for him. Clark shyly nodded as the awkward silence came again.
"So, uh…where do you go to school? At Stars Hollow High…?" Clark asked hopefully.
"I go to Yale…I'm in my freshmen year of college…" Rory nodded.
"Oh…"
An older blonde lady rushed near them. "Who's that?" Clark asked as the lady introduced herself to his parents.
"Oh, that's Babette, our neighbor. She's one of the gossip queens, so you better be careful of what she finds out," Rory smiled, and without knowing it, had warned Clark of who to be more careful about with his abilities. Rory smiled at him and Lorelai motioned for her.
"We got to go; maybe we'll talk later…?" Lorelai said as she wrapped her arm around Rory's shoulder. As they walked away, Clark felt bad, but he listened to their conversation.
"So, how old is he? Is he nice?" Lorelai questioned her daughter playfully.
Rory smiled but didn't respond. She had just experienced the charm of Clark Kent.
Rory PoV
As Rory and Lorelai entered the home, Rory ran into her room. "Oh, my room! I haven't seen you in so long!" Rory laughed. Lorelai smiled at her. "It's only been a week…"
"Well, college makes it feel longer…" Rory smiled.
"Hey, you've been all happy happy since you met that guy…"
"Clark…his name is Clark…" Rory answered. Lorelai smiled at her daughter. "You like him, don't you?" Lorelai teased her.
"No! Of course I don't…" Rory said as she emptied her stuff from her bag, a smile on her face.
Lorelai smiled and giggled. "Well, I'm off to get food…coming?" Lorelai asked.
"You were just at Luke's!" Rory said.
"I know…and I'm hungry!"
Rory rolled her eyes. "Whatever…I'm gonna stay here and get…unpacked…" Rory smiled as she stared at her clothes.
"Hoping to run into a certain farm boy again?" Lorelai smiled, as she ran out of the room, narrowly avoiding Rory's book.
Rory continued to smile, and after her mother had left, she sat outside on the porch swing, reading. Just as she had hoped, Clark came walking over. "Hey…" he nervously said. Rory looked up from her book and smiled timidly. "Hey…" she quietly said.
There was a quiet moment, and they both looked at each other. "So…do you want a tour of the town?" Rory asked. Clark smiled a grin that made her swoon. "Sure…"
As they entered the town square, Rory began to point out the shops and restaurants. It was de ja vu for her when she gave Dean a tour. "That's Al's pancake world…" Rory pointed out.
"Oh, do they make good pancakes?" Clark asked.
"Not exactly," Rory smiled. "Al stopped serving pancakes a couple of years ago and turned to International cuisine. He just hasn't changed the sign…"
Clark smiled at how strange this town was. "That's Luke's Diner," Rory pointed to the diner.
"Isn't that your mom in there?" Clark asked, peering inside.
Rory looked in, and remembered her mom had told her she'd be there. "Yeah…" Rory grabbed his arm and led him away, her hand tingling where it had touched him. She continued to show him around town.
"And this, is the town gazebo…it's very important to this town…" Rory led him to the gazebo. She sat down and Clark sat next to her.
"Are you starting school on Monday?" Rory asked.
Clark nodded. "Did you go to school there?"
"Well, I went there freshmen year, but then I went to Chilton, a private school in Hartford." Rory responded. Clark nodded again. Rory decided to break the silence again. "What do you think of the town so far," Rory smiled as she asked this.
Clark smiled back and looked at her. "Well, it seems kind of strange…not as strange as my home though…" he muttered.
"Where did you live again?"
"Smallville…in Kansas…" Clark said.
"Oh, wasn't that the town that got hit by a meteor shower a couple of years ago…?" Rory asked. Clark didn't speak for a minute; he was surprised that a girl in Connecticut knew about the meteor shower that occurred so far away, so long ago... Rory looked at him confused. "Oh, I'm sorry, it must have been horrible…" Rory said sadly.
Clark nodded. There was the awkward silence again. "Your parents seem nice…but they don't look like you…" Rory had observed. Clark was amazed at how Rory noticed these little things. "Yeah, well, I was adopted," Clark slowly said.
"Oh…"
"You're mom seems nice too…what about your Dad?" Clark asked.
"Um…well, my mom had me when she was 16, so my Dad wasn't really married to her. My grandparents wanted them to get married, but my mom didn't want it, so she ran away from her home in Hartford and moved here, and raised me…" Rory had never told a person she had just met that.
Clark PoV
Clark was surprised that this girl, whom he barely knew, had just opened up to him. He looked at her beautiful face and she smiled timidly at him. His eyes began to burn. Oh no, not here, not in front of her, he thought.
He put his hand to his forehead and turned his head away. The grass he stared at burst into flames as Rory jumped up. Clark managed to get control of his heat vision, and he threw of his jacket and put the fire out. Rory looked at him, bewildered. "Spontaneous combustion, huh? That's weird. Good thing the gazebo isn't damaged, or Taylor would have had a fit…" Rory told him.
Clark decided to try to change the subject away from the fire. "Who's Taylor...?" He asked.
Rory began to explain who Taylor was as Clark tried to control his thoughts.
Clark PoV
The door opened as Clark entered his home. "Have a nice walk?" Martha asked him, smiling.
Clark opened the refrigerator, took out a carton of juice, and poured himself a drink. "Yeah…" he slowly said as he sat at the table. "Rory showed me around town…there's a really nice park…reminds me of home…" Clark sighed, frustrated. "Clark, we're sorry we had to leave…we had nowhere to go to, this was the best price for a home…"
Clark grumbled again. "Yeah, well, it's so far away from home…"
There was a silence where his parents exchanged glances. "I accidentally set some grass on fire…" Clark blurted out quickly.
His father looked at him with a strange look on his face. "What?"
"Well, we were just talking about ourselves, and I was talking about home, and…next thing I know, my eyes were burning up and some grass burned up." Clark confessed.
"You need to be careful with your powers son, this place may not be Smallville, but people would still be suspicious about us…" Jonathan said.
Clark nodded as he went upstairs to continue unpacking.
