Ext. Smallville High school- Two Years Later, Graduation Day
It's been two years since Clark told Lana his secret. Today is their graduation day from school. It's after the ceremony, and Clark and Lana are standing talking about things. Lana has a sad expression on her face, due to what Clark has told her.
Lana:
So, that's it? You're going to Metropolis? You graduate high school and you just leave your home, your friends.
Clark:
It's not that I want to leave you. I can't do things here; I can do things in Metropolis.
Lana:
(bitterly)
Like what? Saving damsels in distress? Get real. You can do that closer to home.
Clark:
Ma and Pa understand, even if you don't.
Lana:
They're your parents, Clark! Of course they have to accept that you're moving away. You're an adult; they have no say of what you can do. I would like to think that I'm your best friend, and that you would talk about this with me. Can't you consider-?
Clark:
I've already got a job out there.
Lana:
So there's no convincing you otherwise?
Clark:
No, there isn't.
Lana:
Well when you get famous, Superboy, don't forget the little people. Okay?
She shrugs her shoulders, knowing that she can't convince him of anything outside of what he has his mind set on. When Clark nods to signal that he understands her concern, she stands on her tiptoes and kisses him. When she pulls away, Clark has a dazed, almost confused look on his face. As though he had no idea where that came from. For a long moment they stare at each other until Lana speaks again (as Clark is still a little dazed).
Lana:
I've said and done all I can to make you not go. If you're to leave then I wish you the best of luck in the city, Clark.
Clark:
Thanks… Lana.
He smiles cheerfully and hugs her tightly. She wraps her arms around his neck and sighs softly.
Lana:
I just want to you let you know that you'll always be my Superboy.
She smiles at him and lets him go.
