A/N - I do not Smallville or the rights to Superman. They fall to Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, whom created a superhero who has stood the test of time.

In answer to hope master's question of will I be going by Season 5, the answer to that is I will only be going by the first episode - Arrival and then it will all be my own stuff.

Changing Feelings

The Talon

Clark - Hey Lana, are we still on for tonight?

He smiles as she turns around after she had finished the order she was doing up.

Lana - Yeah I am, I'll be finished at around 8. So you can pick me up then if that's all right.

Clark nods in agreement and Lana takes the order to the table nearest the stairs.

Clark - Yeah that's fine, so I'll see you then. Anyhow I'm going to shoot off because I've got chores to do back at the farm.

Lana smiles at him and gives him a quick kiss and then Clark turns and leaves the Talon.

The Kent Farm

Jonathan - Martha have you seen Clark. He was supposed to help me with the fences.

Martha - Jonathan you know he'll be here and don't try to do it by yourself. I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you.

Jonathan gives Martha a quick peck on the forehead before nodding in agreement with her.

Lois - Hey Mrs Kent, no Smallville yet. He would be late for his own funeral knowing him.

Clark - I heard that Lois.

The Kent's and Lois turned around to see Clark walking through the door.

Clark - Sorry I'm late, I had to go see Lana and see if we're still on for tonight or not.

Jonathan - That's ok son, the main thing is that you're here now. Go get changed and then we can start the fence.

Clark nodded and went and got changed and then him and Jonathan went to work and this left Martha and Lois by themselves.

Lois - Mrs Kent if I ask you something, can you promise that you won't tell Clark that we've discussed this.

Martha - Sure Lois what is it.

Martha instinctively knew it was Clark related. Her curiosity was about to go into over-drive if Lois didn't sat anything to her.

Lois was trying to find a way to put the words but each time the words formed in her head they went straight away. She knew it wasn't like her, she usually spoke her mind and didn't think of the consequences.

Martha - Come on Lois, what is it?

Lois knew that her silence was only going to encourage Martha to be more and more curious.

Lois - Okay, you know that me and Clark have been having to spend more and more time together whilst we're doing this course.

Martha nodded, she was surprised when they both came back from the first day and they told her that they were in the same course. They almost broke into an argument about it.

Lois - Well recently I've been thinking about what has happen and something Clark said on the field trip yesterday has got my brain working overtime.

Martha - What did he say while on the field trip. Was is before he fount that room with the meteor rocks in?

Lois forgot that Clark told his parents about that. Mr Kent had almost hit the roof when Clark had told them about there being the three types of meteor rock there.

Lois - Yeah it was, he told me he noticed the room and that he was going to check it out. I said that I was going to go with him but he objected saying that it was more important for me not to get thrown off the course than it was for him to.

Martha was now beginning to understand what Lois was trying to tell her about Clark but she had to ask just in case she was wrong.

Martha - Lois are you trying to tell me that you think you're feelings for Clark are changing?

All Lois could do was nod her head in agreement. She never thought properly about what Clark had meant to her, but after what he had said to her in the plant. Her mind couldn't think straight where he was concerned.

Martha - Oh Lois, you know that you will have to talk to Clark about this and if you put it off more then the worse things will get between you and him.

Lois - Sorry Mrs Kent, I can't do that because of Chloe. Not to mention that Clark is now going out with Lana again.

Martha just shook her head and just gave Lois a hug as to say it'll be alright.

Jonathan - Clark, how are you feeling after what happened son?

Clark - I'm feeling ok dad, but to be honest with you something happened yesterday that I didn't expect to.

Jonathan thought back, he knew that Lionel and Lex both had an interest in Kryptonite and he wasn't surprised that there was Kryptonite in the plant.

Jonathan - Son, we knew that both Lionel and Lex have a particular interest in Kryptonite. We knew that for a while now.

Clark shook his head in disagreement with his father.

Clark - That's not what I was talking about. Do you remember when I said I blacked out from the electrical current.

Jonathan just nodded his head. Clark had told Lois that it was only a small charge but Clark told him and Martha that it was a high charged current.

Clark - I thought I was going to think of Lana again because each time before I had done, but this time I thought of Lois instead and I can't understand why I did for.

Jonathan was quite surprised at what Clark had just told him, he was still getting to terms that Clark and Lana were dating again. Now he dropped this on him as well.

Jonathan - Son there is a time in your life when your feelings for certain people change, like your perspective on what is right and wrong does as well.

Clark - I know that dad, but I've never thought of Lois as anything but a pain in the backside who likes getting me into trouble.

Jonathan just laughed when Clark said this to him, he thought about all the times that Clark and Lois had disagreements in the past and then it hit him.

Jonathan - Clark I know this is going to sound like a strange question, but at anytime during your disagreements with Lois did any of it feel like either one of you were flirting with one another?

He saw Clark starting to think about it, he knew that Clark did think it was a strange question but in his heart he knew it was a valid one. Then the proof came as Clark looked at him in shock and horror at the revelation.

The Talon

Lana looked at the clock as she finished doing another order up and it said 6.30. She knew that the time was dragging because the last time she looked at the clock it read 6.25.

Lana - Why is it going so slow for, I hate having to wait another couple of hours.

She turned around and she saw Chloe walk into the building and waved to her. Chloe waved and smiled back at her and went to the counter.

Lana - Hey Chloe, just wait there while I serve this order then I'm all yours ok.

Chloe - Yeah sure no problem.

Chloe looked around the Talon and noticed that it a little less deserted than usual.

Lana - So how the Daily Planet then?

Chloe - It the same as always, it to be there on my own merit and not on someone else's payroll.

Lana nodded her head in agreement with her.

Chloe - So someone looks more happier than usual, is it anything to with our very own Clark Kent?

Lana - Yeah it is me and Clark decided to make a go of it after the whole thing with the meteor shower and the craft that landed. Them those two people came out it was all kinda of weird.

Chloe wished that she could have a normal conversation about Clark and his origins but by what Lana had just told her she knew that wasn't about to happen.

Chloe - So I'm guessing congrats are in order and I still can't believe that Lois and Clark are taking the same course as each other.

They continued to talk about stuff until Clark came by and picked up Lana as well as Lois coming to see Chloe after finishing her studying.
