Part 21: Tyson Goes Swimming or Eat your Heart Out Baywatch Because the Lifeguard is from Krypton!
Lisa and Leslie were giggling as they rode doubled up on Tyson to the back forty of the Potter farm. They were all heading to the small but deep swimming inlet that was part of the small river that ran from Crater Lake to a tributary of the Mississippi. The twins were doubled up on Tyson because they knew Aunt Lana would be along on Donatello to join them after she finished up in Harry Small's Law Office.
The twins got down off Tyson and stripped down to their swim suits. They left Tyson free to wander grazing along the shore. After the usual laughter and splashing the girls were soaked and tired so got out their towels to lie out on the bank. After getting close to falling asleep while catching a few rays the twins were jolted back to reality by a large crash and sound of falling earth and stone into the river coupled with the high pitched whinny of a very surprised and scared Tyson.
The twins leaped up and ran in the direction of all the noise. The sight that greeted them was Tyson at the bottom of an embankment that had given way as he grazed and he had then slid down it into the river. Tyson was in a total panic mode and was trying to climb straight back up the same steep bank that he slid down.
Both girls knew it would only be minutes before the panic stricken horse tired himself out and slipped away from the embankment and out into the current. If they could calm Tyson down enough to turn out into the current and swim down stream until he found a flat area to climb out while he was still fresh he would be ok. But no such luck already Tyson was starting to exhaust himself with endless attempts to climb out of the water and up the steep embankment.
The girls tried to alternatively calm and then scare Tyson away from the steep bank but the horse just got more and more panicky as exhaustion set in. The twins were also losing their heads when they decided together to slide down the muddy embankment on their backsides to Tyson and try to ride/lead him away from the steep bank. Just as they were starting to slide down to the scared horse flaying away with sharp hoofs a large pair of hands grabbed an upper arm of each of them.
"Just stay up here girls, I'll get him." A second later they had been lifted completely clear of the edge and set upright. A moment later they saw a large dark haired man slide on the soles of his feet, like an Austrian downhill ski champion in the Alps, down the seventy degree embankment to Tyson.
"Be careful Mister the water is deep there."
"I think I just got lucky and found a shallow spot," the dark haired man said as he grabbed Tyson by the nose and neck to calm his bucking head. Over the stranger's shoulder the girls got a full blast of the famous Kent smile and were so overwhelmed by the testosterone hit that they didn't notice how strange it was that the water rose no further than the strangers knees while Tyson's back was under water.
The stranger then bent over and got both arms under Tyson and like he was carrying a yearling lamb turned down stream and carried Tyson to a smaller six foot embankment and then up to the top. The stranger set Tyson down who shook off his ordeal like a good old war horse and trotted off away from the stream before stopping at the tree line.
"He will be ok. He isn't hurt and just needs to catch his breath."
Leslie ran up to the stranger, "Thanks Mister, we didn't know want we were going to do. After seeing you go down the embankment I am sure glad we didn't try it." Lisa jumped in with, "We would have been crushed under Tyson's hoofs for sure. Now that I saw you do it, I can see how stupid it was for us to even think of such a plan. Thanks so much."
"No problem, just happy to have been here. Now you guys be careful….just a minute. Did you say that horse is named Tyson?"
"Yea, he belongs to…"
"Lana Lang; Tyson was once Whitney Fordman's horse"
"Yea, how did you know that? I remember Aunt Lana said Tyson used to belong to her old high school boyfriend. I think his name was Whitney."
The stranger just smiled and in doing so almost knocked the boy crazy twins unconscious with the ensuing tsunami of Kent Charm.
"I used to go to Smallville High with Lana Lang and Whitney Fordman."
"That's so cool. I am Lisa and this is Leslie we are freshmen this year at Smallville High. I am sure my Aunt Lana knows you. What is your name?"
The stranger just laughed and said, "A lot more people at Smallville High remember your Aunt Lana than would ever remember me." He then gave them each a mischievous look and said, "Even though my name is the Lone Ranger."
The twins went into a giggle fit and when they pulled out of it said, "Oh come on, our Aunt Lana should be here to swim with us in a little while. You have to stay and see her again. She is even more beautiful now that she was at Smallville High."
The stranger got a bit of a blue look in his eyes and then went over to get Tyson. He led Tyson back to where the girls had left their towels while the twins walked on each side of him checking him out the whole way. Just as they came up on the towels the girls looked up and saw their Aunt Lana on Donatello come out of the trees on the dirt trail that leads through the woods. The girls squealed in delight and ran to their Aunt Lana each yelling out bits and pieces of the story of Tyson's ordeal.
"It was so scary. We didn't know what to do. Tyson was getting tired and we were going to slide down to try to help him…but then this super guy came to the rescue."
Lana slid off Donatello's back and dropped to the ground, "Easy girls, one at a time. What super guy are you talking about?"
Both twins together said, "Him silly" and turned around. They were looking at Tyson standing there looking confused with his reins hanging down and no stranger holding them. Lisa said, "He was right there a minute ago. Where did he go?"
Leslie with a puzzled look commented, "That's weird," but in a flash she dropped that thought and skipped to how handsome the stranger had been.
Lana took it all in and processed it for a couple seconds. Smallville damsels in distress, handsome stranger saves the day, handsome stranger disappears.
Himmmmmmmm!
Lana took a quick look at each of the twins. Yup, there it was, Lana recognized it in a second. After all she had seen it enough in her own mirror. That giddy, moist panty, sparkly look that every girl that ever saw the world's most alpha male farm boy in action wears on her face after he saves the day. It certainly spent enough time on Lana's face.
So out of Lana's mind popped the answer: Clark Kent.
