It was breathtaking. Here she was, in Clark's arms, with the person who LOVED her. And she loved him. It just felt so strange to her, yet so wonderful. He knew this was where she belonged. And the Talon was so beautiful with vibrant lights pouring throughout the blackness. Her breath caught in her throat, and when she could finally find her breath, she kissed Clark again. And, in her kiss, all was understood. She had accepted him.
Clark flew back to the Kent farm after flying around with Lucy over Smallville. The two laughed, talked, and made out some more. When they got back to the Kent farm, supper was ready. Going downstairs, they found Lois, Lana, and Chloe sitting at a table with Jonathan and Martha. "Lucy, you sounded great", said Lois impressed with her friend. Lucy smiled at Lois "Thanks", she said beaming. Clark held Lucy's hand and sat next to her. He knew that someday Lucy would become a big star. "Great doesn't describe Lucy. She's smart, gifted, and the best singer I've ever heard of", said Clark."
"I agree", said Chloe. "Me too". said Lana and Lois in unison. The Kents and the five friends enjoyed a Lasagna meal together complete with salad. Lucy laughed and talked with her friends. Without them, she'd have trouble adjusting to Smallville. After Supper, the phone rang. Martha picked it up and then gave it to Lucy.
"Hello?" asked Lucy.
"Lucy, it's Lex. I just wanted to say I enjoyed your performance tonight. I watched it from the crowd and you were great". said Lex. "What do you want, Lex?" Lucy asked gritting her teeth. How dare him trying to call her or even showing up after what he did!
"To comment on the show and to apoligize for what I did earlier to you. I never meant to hurt you Lucy. I wasn't in the right state of mind and I let my anger get the best of me. I didn't realize what a great person I had working for me until now and I shouldn't have gotten mad at you. You supported me throughout the campaign and I treated you like dirt. Lucy, I want to make a peace offering between us by giving you what you deserve. I know of a record producer who'd be interested in signing you a record deal. So, Lucy what do you say? asked Lex.
Lucy was speechless. Lex really was sorry! And he sounded like he meant it. But Lucy couldn't let her guard down so quick. Part of her still didn't trust him and wanted to chew him out. Then again she could forgive him and the producer sounded interesting.
"I'll think about it, ok?" said Lucy. As she got off the phone the Kents and her friends all wondered who had she been talking to. "Who was that?" asked Jonathan Kent. He had raised an eyebrow.
Lucy hung the phone up. "That was Lex Luthor. He called to apoligize for what happened earlier and he said to make peace with me he knew someone who could get me a record deal." she then told them everything else he said to her.
"What did you tell him?" Lois asked looking at her best friend. Surely, her friend wouldn't accept his offer. "I told him I'd think about it. After all, he seemed sincere in his apology and he wanted to help me become famous".
The Kents all looked at one another. While They thought it was great that someone noticed Lucy's talent, and that Lex apoligized, they still felt that something smelled fishy about the whole deal thing. But still, they couldn't stop Lucy from following her Dreams.
Jonathan spoke up first. "It's nice that Lex has apoligzed. But, we still can't trust him Lucy. He did try to kill you nothing can change that. You can forgive him if you want and accept this record deal, but it has to be something you want and if I were you, I'd be careful around Lex". Lucy nodded "Don't worry sir, I will". Even though Lucy wasn't Mr. Kent's real daughter, he treated her like his own by being overprotective of her.
Clark had also promised to look after Lucy whenever she would be around Lex, he'd be there to protect her. Like his dad, Clark knew Lex couldn't be trusted and had a dark side to him. Lucy did later on accept Lex's generous offer. However, at her next encounter with Lex, Clark stayed by her side determined to protect his girlfriend.
"Lucy, I'm so glad you've accepted my offer", said Lex using his friendly tone that he used when they first met and when he'd hired her as his Campaign Manager. Lucy nodded as Lex motioned them to sit down. A red-haired young man in his twenties walked in the room.
"This is Brian Smith. Producer at Dream Records. I told him about your amazing voice and talent and he's willing to sign you on the label today". said Lex smiling. Lucy smiled and said hi to the record producer. The young man brought out some papers. "Okay. I need you to sign this Contract and Papers and we can get this record deal label going".
And so Lucy signed the papers. In a few weeks she'd be recording her first cd, releasing a single and doing a video.
