It could be an early Christmas gift for you guys. My holiday's over... but on the bright side, I'll probably be going to see Sherlock Holmes on Christmas. 8-) Plus, I'm in a giving mood.

Alright, you guys could care less about all this rambling, I'm doing. You wanna read the update. Sorry, it's not a double-update... but it is 10 pages by itself, so I hope that'll suffice. Alright... here you go! :D

NEW A/N: EDITED 10/24/17 - Hope you still enjoy and please still let me know what you think! :)

Chapter 4

Lana came down the stairs. She was a little surprised at Martha's comment about Sue Ann Gardner to the two teenage girls at the table.

"Mrs. Kent?"

"Oh, hi, Lana," Dawn/Martha greeted, "Shouldn't you be at school helping with the decorations? The Prom Committee needs all the help they can get."

"I-I'm not gonna go to the Prom," Lana replied with a shrug of her shoulder.

"Why? You think you're so above it all?" Dawn/Martha asked sarcastically.

"No, of course not," Lana laughed uncomfortably.

"Ohhh, come on," Dawn/Martha rolled her eyes and started to mock her, "Poor little orphan girl. Going off to your fancy French art school. Going out with a big college guy."

She laughed mockingly at her.

"I don't have to listen to this," Lana rolled her eyes and started to walk away from her.

"Hey!" Dawn/Martha stopped Lana by reaching out and touching her shoulder. Martha suddenly felt weird and put her hand to her head. Dawn was now in Lana.

Dawn/Lana looked down at herself, then up at a mirror and smiled, "Genius."

She walked over to Clark and started asking if he wanted to go to the prom with her. He gave her a small smile, but told her he had other plans. Dawn/Lana just rolled her eyes and said if he changed his mind, she'd be at the school.

Clark walked past her and spotted his mom, "Mom? Mom, are you all right?"

Martha was sitting at the counter very confused. She turned to Clark, "For the life of me, I-I can't remember how I got here."

Clark was now just as confused as her.

~L&C~

Some time passed again and Clark found Lana coming out of the Boy's Locker Room. Lana told Clark she didn't know how she even got to school. After a talk in The Torch, Chloe figured out that Dawn was somehow possessing people through touch. Lana and Chloe decided to head over to the hospital to join Clark to see what more they could find out as well as check in on Billy Durden, the boy Dawn/Lana hurt.

After hearing the condition of her body from Clark, Dawn/Harmony headed into her room and saw herself, "Eww, gross."

Dawn's body had severe cuts and bruises all over her face. She was being kept alive by oxygen through a tube.

A nurse came in, "Uhh, you're not allowed in here."

Dawn/Harmony turned around, "Really?"

The nurse looked really confused. "Code Blue" was called for Room 256 – Dawn's room. The nurse who interrupted Harmony before came up to Clark, Chloe, and Lana. The nurse was possessed by Dawn.

"Excuse me, are you friends of Dawn's?" she asked politely.

"Yes, what happened?" Clark asked politely.

"There's nothing they can do. I'm afraid she's passed on," she told them, "I'm sure she didn't suffer. I'm sorry."

Lana, Chloe, and Clark looked down solemnly.

The nurse turned around the corner after smirking back at the trio and threw away a syringe while praising herself, "Genius."

~L&C~

On the other side of the hospital, Lois was at the help desk asking information about the test she just took, "I just went to see the allergist. This says I owe two hundred dollars."

The male nurse took the paper from her and corrected her, "Actually it's two fifteen including lab fees."

"But all they did was stick a bunch of needles in my back and make me really itchy," Lois scratched to emphasize her point, "What's that all about?"

"Well they need to find out what you're allergic to," he replied smugly.

"I know what I'm allergic to. He's got four legs and drools. What I need is a prescription," Lois replied, "Please. A dog's life depends on it."

He took the paper from her and walked away.

"Miss?" the nurse inhabited by Dawn interrupted her. Lois rolled her eyes and turned around to face her.

The nurse smiled, "Maybe I can help you."

~L&C~

Back at the Kent Farm, Martha checked in on Lane and Kent, "Hey Lane, sorry about before with the ice cream."

"It's okay. Kent flew in some takeout," Lane replied with a smile.

Jonathan appeared behind Martha, "Honey, we've got to start to head out to get to the school."

"Have fun," Kent said.

"Something tells me this night will be interesting," Jonathan observed.

"You got that right," Lane leaned back on the bed against the headboard.

"Any chance you can give us any hints?" Jonathan asked. Kent looked to Lane. Since technically Lane set things into motion before, it was only fair for Kent to give a clue to end it.

"This may sound weird," Kent started and Jonathan nodded for him to continue, "But make sure you have some kryptonite on you."

"Kryptonite? Why would…" Martha asked worriedly.

"Just trust me," Kent nodded, "Now go back downstairs, I'm sure Clark is ready to see you two off to prom."

He smiled at his parents.

"When we come back, I think it would be wise for us to go over all possibilities as to why you two are still stuck here. Not that we don't enjoy your company," Martha told them.

"That's what we were planning on doing, Martha," Lane replied. Martha and Jonathan nodded a goodbye to them and shut the door. They came down the stairs to see Clark finish looking at his yearbook.

"Hey! You guys look great!" Clark complimented as he stood up from the kitchen island.

"Clark, the only reason we agreed to be chaperones was because of you," Martha said as Jonathan put on his suit jacket.

"Yeah, I know it's a little backwards. My parents are going to the prom and I'm staying home to wait up for them," Clark laughed a little at the switch.

"Son," Jonathan started fixing his tie, "When you're older, we don't want you to have to look back on high school and regret not going to the prom."

"I don't know… Kent looks pretty content to me. Besides, Dad, I'm not sure that standing by the punch bowl and watching bad dancing is a memory I'm going to cherish," Clark had a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Jonathan laughed a little at Clark's sarcastic quip, "Heh, I wouldn't be so sure about that, Clark."

Martha helped finish fixing his tie and told him it was good. Jonathan told Martha he was going to go out to the truck and wait for her, but he also went out to go get the kryptonite as Kent had suggested.

"I think I know why you're not going tonight," Martha sighed.

"Mom, it's not what you think. It's not about Lana," Clark shook his head.

"I know that, Clark," Martha smiled and Clark looked surprised.

"I've been noticing the small changes with you and Lois."

"Mom," Clark tried to laugh it off.

The truth was: something really was starting to change between them. They were both sleeping in the living room for over a month with Lois on the couch and he on the floor next to her. He was embarrassed to admit it, but sometimes he would fall asleep to the sound of her heartbeat. And there were times when he would wake up and he'd find Lois' hand lying on his chest and he didn't even bother to move it.

"Oh, Clark," Martha sighed with a shake of her head. She knew everything would eventually turn out okay between her son and Lois. After all, the living proof was upstairs.

"If you change your mind, I put your tux by the door."

"You rented me a tux?" Clark asked.

"Just in case," Martha smiled as she heard Jonathan honk the horn for her.

"Mom," Clark sighed as she embraced him in a hug. He watched his mom walk out the door and then heard Lois at the top of the stairs.

"Well?" Dawn/Lois asked as his eyes traveled up along her body. She was dressed in a pink sparkly gown and her hair was done up. She placed a stray hair behind her ear, "How do I look?"

Clark swallowed. He wanted to say beautiful, but all he could manage was, "Uh, looks like you're going to the prom."

"I am," Dawn/Lois came down the stairs and walked up to him, "And you're taking me. I'm not going to let you sit around moping all night while your parents go out and do the electric bugaloo all night. It's gonna be fun."

Clark couldn't believe it. She actually wanted to go with him. He had to keep up his passive façade though, "N-No, I-I-I'm not going."

He shook his head. He wasn't very convincing.

"Massive re-strategy," Dawn/Lois replied, "You're going to your senior prom whether you like it or not. End of discussion. Put on your tux."

She wasn't going to let anyone stop her from getting her throne.

"Lois, wasn't this not in the realm of possibilities?" Clark shook his head.

"Anything's possible, Clark… anything," Dawn/Lois replied with a smile while Clark widened his eyes in disbelief.

~L&C~

Clark and Dawn/Lois walked into the school gym that was now magically transformed into a starry paradise for the night. Chloe was all dressed up and was surprised to see her older cousin dressed in pink. When the principal came on the stage, Dawn/Lois encouraged Chloe to move closer. Clark followed them.

"You voted and the results are in," the principal started, "This year's Smallville High Prom Queen is… Chloe Sullivan!"

Everyone applauded. The principal beckoned Chloe, "Come on up here, Chloe."

Dawn/Lois looked was in shock, but she was going to get that crown. Under false pretenses, she hugged Chloe transferring herself into her, "Congratulations!"

Now Dawn was inside Chloe. Dawn/Chloe started gushing over winning before heading up to the stage.

Lois snapped out of her possession and looked down at herself. She turned to Clark, "What the hell am I doing in a dress? And what the hell am I doing at your prom?"

"Oh no," Clark looked up at Dawn possessing Chloe on stage. He should've known that Lois was acting Dawn-ish, but he was so happy she wanted to go to prom with him he didn't give it a second thought. Dawn/Chloe happily accepted the flowers and the crown as Prom Queen.

Lois was still berating Clark. She gestured to the corsage on her dress, "Did you pin that on me?"

"I-I'll explain later, Lois," Clark promised.

"A little close to the boob, don't you think?" Lois commented.

Clark put his hand up to try to hear what Dawn was saying up on stage, but Lois continued on, "You know, just because we have kids together in the future, that doesn't mean you can fondle me now."

"Oh my God, you guys! Thank you so much! This is so totally awesome!" Dawn/Chloe was so happy as she started her acceptance speech.

Clark and Lois were looking up at her from the audience. They couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth as she continued on.

"I guess I could say I've looked to the stars and wished for this moment ever since I was a little girl. You can dream of standing here your whole life, but right now, looking down on all of you… I just, this is just so totally genius! Thank you so much."

Lois was shaking her head. That did not sound like her cousin. What the hell was going on?

Dawn/Chloe took a breath and reverently touched her crown, "Although, I just have to say… that the person who really deserves this honor is Dawn Stiles."

Everyone started laughing.

She couldn't believe they were laughing, "No, seriously, you guys. Seriously. She gave so much of herself! Way more than Chloe Sullivan."

"Chloe! Chloe! Chloe! Chloe!" the audience chanted.

Tears started forming in Dawn/Chloe's eyes. She dabbed at them, "Anyway, I promise this will be one night that I will always remember," and she continued on threateningly, "and you will never forget."

She took off down the stage stairs.

Clark started after her, but Lois stopped him, "Okay, Smallville. I clicked my heels together three times and nothing happened. Better tell me what's going on."

He sighed. He had to stop Dawn.

~L&C~

At the Kent Farm, Lane and Kent were once again playing with their twins. Kent got some warm milk and started feeding John, "So do you think they exorcised Dawn out of me yet?"

"Not sure," Lane shrugged and rocked Lara back and forth to try to lull her to sleep, "After all, this happened seven years ago."

"But, it's happening right now," Kent corrected her. Lane just rolled her eyes and shook her head with a small smile on her lips.

"I'm sorry I didn't dance with you."

"Smallville," Lane started, "You still had your Lana blinders on… It's okay. You more than made it up to me. Besides, I got a much more special dance… the one at our wedding."

"What do you say after we're done feeding the twins we share a dance in the living room?" Kent suggested with his charming smile.

"But what about the twins?" Lane asked worriedly. She was only a mother a month, but those maternal tendencies were already kicked in to high gear.

"Don't worry," Kent replied and pointed to his ear, "I already know the sound of their heartbeats. I'm constantly tuned in to the three of you. I'm the best baby monitor you can get."

"Well, in that case… I'd be honored to dance with you, Mr. Kent," Lane smiled and kissed her husband.

"Thank you, Mrs. Kent," Kent smiled and kissed his wife back.

~L&C~

Dawn/Chloe made her way down the hallway. There was only one thing on her mind – revenge. She used Chloe's fist to punch the glass that held an axe and took it. Then she walked to the stairs leading to the school's basement. Jonathan was walking up them admiring the prom decorations. He looked up to see Chloe. She knocked him out and he fell down the stairs. She took off down them herself with a satisfied smirk on her face. Finally she entered the basement.

"Dad?" Clark came running down the stairs and helped his dad up, "Dad, you okay?"

"Uh, yeah," Jonathan got up, "It-It's Chloe. She's not-she's not acting like herself. She took off down the stairs. I-I'm fine."

"Dad, I need you to get something for me," Clark said.

~L&C~

With all of her might, Dawn/Chloe used the axe to chop off the gas main so it would flow out on to the floor. Satisfied with herself, she threw the axe away and opened up the furnace to be met with flames.

"You're all gonna pay."

She grabbed a mop and stuck it into the flames until it ignited. Dawn/Chloe maneuvered it around so she was now facing the other way. She smugly said, "Now that's what I call a torch."

Satisfied with herself, she tossed it, "Genius."

Luckily, Clark came super speeding in and caught the flamed mop before it hit the floor. Dawn/Chloe was confused and amazed at the same time, "How did you do that?"

He tossed it aside, "I know it's you, Dawn and you don't want to do this."

"All those years, I kept trying to be what everyone else wanted," Dawn/Chloe walked up to him gesturing with her hands, "and it turns out those losers don't even care. This was supposed to be the best night of my life and they laughed at me."

"Let Chloe go," Clark ordered.

"I will," she replied arrogantly, "See, Clark, there's a whole life after high school. And I can be whoever I want."

She put her hand on Clark's chest transferring herself into him.

Chloe was now confused and looked up at Clark.

"Clark?"

"The crown's mine, bitch," Dawn/Clark snatched it from the top of her head and slapped her. Clark's super strength caused her to fly across the room. He looked down at his hand and his sudden strength.

"Genius."

Dawn/Clark picked up the still flamed mop, ready to burn down the school and everyone in it. Chloe was still conscious and flexed out her jaw. She looked back at the scene behind her.

Jonathan came up behind Dawn/Clark, "Dawn!"

He turned around with the mop still in hand, "Seriously, Mr. Kent. You can't stop me."

"That may be true," Jonathan replied, "But I can stop my son."

He revealed a piece of kryptonite in his hand.

Automatically, Dawn/Clark staggered and groaned from the pain. He dropped the mop to the side and fell to the ground. He rose up his hand as if that would stop the pain.

"What are you doing? What is that?"

"It's time for you to leave, Dawn!" Jonathan yelled.

He edged closer and closer to Clark with the kryptonite. Chloe looked on in confusion. Why was the meteor rock hurting Clark so much?

Dawn/Clark was on his back. Suddenly, a pink spirit rose out of him. It was Dawn. She looked back at Clark, longing to stay, but it was too much. She disappeared up into the ceiling.

Unfortunately, Jonathan was still near Clark with the kryptonite and it was still hurting him. Jonathan noticed right away, backed up, and tossed it away. He turned off the valve to the gas main. Chloe pretended to be knocked out once again.

"Chloe!" Clark got up and helped Chloe to her feet, "Chloe, you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks," she smiled with a nod. Clark looked over at Jonathan… That was a close call.

He saw Chloe's crown on the floor and gave it to her, "You dropped something. Congratulations, Chloe."

She took it from him with a smile. All was well again. The body snatching prom queen was gone.

A few minutes later, Clark came back to the dance floor ready to explain to Lois what happened, "Listen, Lois…"

Lois interrupted him, "Your parents filled me in. Apparently some girl named Dawn was possessing me."

"Yeah, well that's the short version," Clark replied.

"Yeah, well, that's the last time I let her do my hair," Lois tried to find humor in the serious situation.

"Look, I'm sorry you got pulled into all of this," Clark apologized.

"Don't worry about it. I never quite made it to my senior prom," Lois told him and took a sip from the blue punch, "The punch could use a little kick."

The starting notes of You and Me started to play as Lois rolled her eyes. She was a little uncomfortable, but she wasn't going to let Clark know.

What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up
And I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Clark started awkwardly, "You know, I was thinking, since you did get all dressed up and you came here with me… you should at least get a dance out of it."

"Chivalry noted," Lois replied, "But uh, I'm not the one you wanna dance with, Clark… She is."

She gestured to Lana who just walked through the gym doors.

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

Clark looked over to Lana. Normally his heart would start racing at the sight of her, but now that position was filled by another girl.

He turned back to Lois, "No, Lois… I want to dance with you."

Lois was taken aback. Clark held out his hand and Lois took it as he led her out on to the dance floor. They started dancing awkwardly, but as the music went on they found a pace that fit together. Eventually, Lois rested her head on Clark's shoulder and Clark rested his head on hers. They continued to sway to the music. Lana noticed and looked down disappointed, but as she turned around to leave, she ran into Jason. She smiled up at him and he smiled at her. He led her out to the dance floor and they danced to the music.

Chloe couldn't help but smile at her cousin and Clark dancing. She knew there was something between those two. Martha and Jonathan looked at each other and smiled at what they knew would be their future daughter-in-law dancing with their son. Jonathan offered his hand for a dance and his wife promptly took it.

Time passed and couples started clearing the dance floor. Soon, only Lois and Clark were left dancing. They were so comfortable, they didn't even notice they were the only ones left at the prom with the exception of Chloe and the Kents. They joined Chloe's table and watched Lois and Clark dance. Lifehouse even moved on to play Everything.

"Hate to break you two up," Chloe walked up to Lois and Clark, breaking them apart, "But we have to go back to the farm to see if we can figure out how to get your future selves a one way ticket back home."

"Yeah, good idea, Chloe," Lois straightened her dress out. She was so comfortable in Clark's arms, it took her a second to compose herself to follow Chloe out the door. Jonathan and Martha gave each other a shared look as they watched Clark jog ahead of them to catch up with the girls. Jonathan wrapped his arm around Martha and followed everyone outside to head home.

~L&C~

While Lois, Clark, Chloe, Jonathan, and Martha were on their way back to the farm, Kent and Lane started moving furniture around the living room so they could dance. Kent took one of his old CDs out and popped Lifehouse in the player. He thought it was appropriate. He took his wife's hand. The starting notes to Everything started to play. She stood on top of his feet as they began to dance.

Find me here
Speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.

"This is nice," Lane smiled into his shoulder.

"Yes it is," Kent kissed the top of her hair.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

"What made you choose this song?" Lane picked her head up to look in his eyes. They continued to sway to the music.

"Isn't it obvious?" Kent started, "You're my everything."

"I think I married the universe's biggest sap," Lane laughed. Kent smiled down at her as she put her head back on his chest.

"But I'm your sap and I love you," Kent kissed her once again.

"I love you too, Smallville," Lane closed her eyes. She let her heart go into the song. Soon Kent started to float. As Lane was on his shoes, she went up with him. They swayed to the music while in the air.

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

"Lois," Kent started, "Do you think time is passing in our time?"

"I honestly don't know… but, Smallville?"

"Yeah, Lo?" Kent asked.

"Can you do me a favor and just enjoy the rest of this song and dance? We shouldn't have to worry about anything right now. Just worry about us," Lane told him.

"Right," Kent agreed. They continued to dance in the air to Everything.

Cause you're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want your all I need
You're everything, everything.
You're all I want you're all I need.
You're everything, everything
You're all I want you're all I need, you're everything, everything.

And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

The song ended, but Lane and Kent continued to sway with each other in the air, dancing to the music of their heartbeats. And just as the song ended, Jonathan, Martha, Clark, Lois, and Chloe walked into the living room to see Lane and Kent in their embrace.

"Interesting position for us to walk in on you," Lois commented.

Kent snapped his eyes open when he realized Lois' voice wasn't coming from next to him but on the other side of the room. Then he realized…

They were floating.
