Hi, I'm back again with yet another SHORT chapter of this story. I'm sorry if it's too short, I wanted it to be longer, but I was not so lucky. Please, leave a review after reading, I would appreciate it very much.

And Merry Christmas to you all! :)


Chapter 18 - Truth or Dare?

„Urgh," grunted Lana as she fell on the ground. Again.

She's been training some self-defense with Sarah these past few weeks, and it was fun. Well, except for the bruises she got after every training session.

„Not bad. You ducked successfully at first, you even blocked, but the next reaction was too slow. Nevertheless, it was a good job. Go take a break, we'll continue in five minutes," said, or maybe ordered, Sarah, standing above her with a slight smirk on her face, but with a genuine expression, wearing a pair of leggings and a tank top.

Lana got up slowly. And painfully. She went over to the bench where her towel and water bottle were, sat down and started drinking in big gulps.

After she finished drinking, she looked at Sarah, who's barely broken a sweat (they've been training for almost an hour).

„Sarah, there's something I wanted to ask you," said Lana. Sarah then looked at her with a curious, yet questioning expression on her face.

„Yeah?"

„You see, my parents are gone for the weekend, and I'm having a slumber party with some of my friends, including Chloe, who I'm sure you already know, as she's Clark's best friend and all that," Sarah nodded at that and urged her to continue on, although she had an idea of where this was going, „and I wanted to ask you if you'd like to come?"

Sarah seemed to be think about it, although her mind was already made.

„Yeah, sure," she answered with a smile.

Lana sighed with relief – she hoped Sarah would come, yet she didn't know if she'd want to – until now.

„Okay, Saturday, my house, 6PM, got it?" asked Lana and Sarah only nodded at her.

„Alright, break's over, get your ass over here."

Lana grumbled something incoherent while Sarah laughed. And thus began the second part of their training.


Clark was in his fortress in the Arctic, still designing his supersuit while thinking about Sarah. About how dishonest he was being with her. She told him everything about her past, yet he didn't tell her about his heritage.. and abilities.

What if she doesn't accept me? What if she thinks I'm a freak? A monster?
She wouldn't do that. Or would she?

He'll tell her. He doesn't know when, he doesn't know how, and he doesn't know where. But he will tell her. Soon.


It's currently Friday and Clark has finally decided that he would tell her this Saturday. He'd invite her over, make dinner (Ma didn't raise no fool), have a good time and then.. then he'd tell her everything. EVERYTHING.

And so, with that in mind, he called her.

Hello?" asked the groggy voice of his girlfriend.

„Hey. Sorry, did I wake you?" asked Clark, a little concerned – it's only.. oh, 12AM.

He heard a faint chuckle. „No, Clark, I've been planing to pull an allnighter. Why, is something wrong?"

„N-no, I just.. wanted to ask you if you'd like to come to dinner this Saturday, you know, just me and you, I'd even cook," exclaimed Clark, quietly, as his parents were still asleep.

There was a momentary silence and then, when she started speaking, her voice sounded a little... apologetic?

„Oh, Clark, I'm sorry, but Lana invited me over this Saturday for a slumber party, and you know I don't have many friends, so..." she left the sentence unfinished.

Of course Clark knew she didn't have many friends – and he even urged her to make some, except for him, obviously, and he was very happy when he saw her and Lana together, laughing about something in the school hallway. And, of course, he knows how much it means to her – having friends, someone she could rely on. With that in mind, he answered her.

„Hey, it's alright. How about Sunday?"

„That would be great!"

„Alright, I'll call you, and sorry I woke you up, go back to sleep," said Clark softly when he heard her yawn.

„Okay. G'night, Clarkie," she whispered, already half asleep.

Clark chuckled at her antics – Clarkie? Sure, why not.

He'd tell her this Sunday, then.


Saturday came much faster than Sarah anticipated, and she felt nervous. Would they accept her? Would they like her? What should she wear? Should she bring some pajamas with her?

Duh, Wilson, it's a sleepover, she thought dryly.

„Aunt Ria? Uncle Frank?" asked Sarah as she descended downstairs to the kitchen – she overslept a little, as it was lunch already – she missed her morning run.

Reminder to myself – tell Clark to start running with me, it's gonna be fun.

Uncle Frank looked up from his newspaper and slid down his reading glasses, revealing his warm blue eyes, not unlike Sarah's own – yet it still sometimes reminds her of the eyes of somebody else – someone cold, and abusi—

Don't even go there, Wilson. Don't ruin your day, she scolded herself mentally.

„Yeah, pumpkin?" he asked.

Sarah then came back to reality. „Yeah, I just wanted to ask you if I could come over to a friend's house, she's having a slumber party tonight with some girls from school and she invited me yesterday, and I forgot to tell you about it."

Uncle Frank just smiled softly. „Of course. What friend is it?"

Sarah grinned cheekily and kissed her uncle's cheek. „Thank you! Oh, her name's Lana Lang."

With that, she stormed out of the room and went upstairs. She had some homework to do.


Evening came and Sarah found herself in front of the Lang house – in fact, it was not that much far away from the Kent farm, only about a mile or so. She gently knocked on the door, and not even a minute later, the familiar petite redhead opened the door.

„Hey, Sarah, I'm glad you came," said Lana excitedly as she hugged her. Sarah gladly returned the hug.

„I told you I'd come, didn't I?" said Sarah with a smile of her own. Lana gestured for her to follow her, and so, Sarah did.

They went over to the living room (probably.. and obviously), where 4 other girls were sitting – all of them already in their pajamas, which Sarah noticed only now, was exactly what was Lana wearing, too.

She only recognized one of them – a short-haired brown girl with blue eyes and red pajamas (and one of Clark's best friends), Chloe Sullivan.

„Girls, this is Sarah Wilson, I told you about her," said Lana with a beaming smile that would make every single guy's legs in the school (well, except for one) turn into jelly.

„Oh, yeah! Welcome, Sarah," said a pretty blonde girl with warm brown eyes and a genuine smile, „I'm Evelyn. It's nice to meet you."

„Likewise, Evelyn," smiled Sarah.

Chloe stood up as well and hugged her quickly, saying hi to her as well.

„Alright, I see that Eve already introduced herself, and you already know Chloe. So," said Lana as she gestured to a small brunette with bright green eyes wearing a white over-sized t-shirt with Scooby Doo on it and pink pajama bottoms, „this is Lily, she's a freshman, and this," she gestured to another brunette, this time with dark brown eyes, wearing a blue onesie, „is Maddie."

Sarah greeted every single one of them, which, let's be honest, wasn't that much, and changed into her pajamas – she wasn't self-conscious around other girls as much as around.. EVERYONE else, but for some personal reasons, she changed in Lana's bedroom.

At about 8:30PM, Evelyn, or Eve, as everyone seems to call her, decided that they should play a game.

„How about Truth or Dare?" proposed Maddie with a grin. Everyone grunted their disapproval, but after some urging and pursuing and whatnot, the other girls finally relented.

„Alright, first question, I start. Lana," said Chloe with a cheshire grin while Lana rolled her eyes.

„Yeah?"

„Truth or dare?" asked Chloe with a twinkle in her eyes.

Lana thought about it for a second, and then answered. „Truth."

Chloe's grin grew wider and wider. „Alrighty, then. Who was your first kiss?"

At that, Lana started blushing profusely, and it seemed to Sarah that the color of her cheeks now matched the color of her hair.

She mumbled something incoherent. „What?" asked Sarah, not hearing anything.

This time, Lana's answer was a little bit louder. „It was Clark.."

At that, everyone in the room started laughing.

„Clark Kent? Well, I gotta say, he is a hunk.." stated Eve with a teasing smile.

„Alright, next!" said Sarah sternly, although everyone could see that she was very amused.

„Okay, okay, okay," said Lana, „Eve. Truth or dare?"

„Truth."

Lana got that teasing smile on her face that Sarah recognized all too well, „Who do you have a crush on?"

Of course, Eve rolled her eyes and sighed.

„Alright, I have a crush on two guys – one of which was mentioned earlier here," she started blushing, too.

„Just spit it out, Eve," grumbled Maddie, but was smiling nevertheless.

„Jason Filch and Clark Kent."

Sarah just sighed. Why does everyone has a crush on her boyfriend? Well, not everyone, but.. okay, she knows why.

The girls started laughing again, including Sarah, who thought it was funny.. a little.

„Alright, alright. Now, Sarah, truth or dare?" asked Eve.

Sarah thought about it – dare would be fun, but..

„Truth."

„I knew it!" exclaimed Eve, „hmm.. how about.. your dream job?"

„Biologist," answered Sarah immediately.

And the next questions were pretty much in the same kind – like who has the most beautiful eyes [Clark Kent, who else? „Have you seen his eyes without the glasses?"], favorite book, favorite superhero [everyone answered Black Canary – she is a badass after all], and so on.

They then watched a movie – they voted, of course, and of course, Sarah and Maddie, who wanted to watch Captain America: The First Avenger, were outvoted by Lana, Chloe and Eve, who all wanted to watch The Age of Adaline.

„How is it that she doesn't age? This isn't scientifically possible," grumbled Sarah a few times during the movie.

„Relax, hon, it's just a movie. And don't tell me that super-soldiers are scientifically possible," retorted Eve with a teasing smile.

The rest of the night was amazing, because after they finished the movie, they had a pillow fight – which Maddie won, and played some board games.. and talked about guys. It was then that Maddie and Eve found out that Clark is Sarah's boyfriend. Needless to say, their reactions were priceless.


It was Sunday evening and Clark's parents went to Metropolis to some farming convention, leaving Clark the whole house to himself – which is awesome, considering that Sarah is going to come for dinner and Clark will tell her everything and answer any questions she'd ask.

„Okay, but how do I tell her? ‚What do you think about the rice? Oh, and by the way, I'm a superpowered alien from a long-dead planet. Would you pass me the salt, please?' Nope. Definitely not. No, no, no, no, no. Come on, Kent.." mumbled Clark to himself.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Clark went to open the door, but stopped. He x-rayed the door, and to his surprise, it wasn't Sarah standing behind the door.

It was Killer Croc.


So, this is the end of the 18th chapter, I hope you liked it. If there are any spelling errors, feel free to warn me about them in your review. Thank you.

And yeah, this is my cannon - MCU exists in this universe.
