ACT THREE: There's She Goes/ I Can't Stop Loving You
AUTHOR'S NOTE: OK, people, I just have to say this really quickly. YES I know Chloe is 17 and Lex is 20 something. HOWEVER, I should know since I live here, in Kansas, 16 is the legal age! So, no, CHLEX pairings do not bother me. AND yes, I saw the BTVS musical. Loved it! That is where I got the idea for this. SPIKE ROCKS!
Disclaimer: I do not own the songs in this chapter. I did not write them this time.
Lights, camera, action!

The next morning, Pete was standing in the hallway by his locker, waiting for Clark. He waved to Chloe as she passed by and let out a long sigh. Man, that girl was beautiful. To bad he loved her so and she didn't know. He suddenly found the urge to sing as music started playing.
"There she goes
There she goes again
Racing thru' my brain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains"
Pete was getting looks so he hurriedly ran into the nearest empty classroom. He looked out the window and saw Lana sitting and talking to some of her friend. He sighed. Clark had all the luck. Chloe like Clark, Clark like Lana, Lana liked Clark, Pete loved Chloe and had a small crush on Lana. Oh yeah, Clark Kent was a lucky man.
"There she blows
There she blows again
Pulsing thru' my vein
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains"
He watched as Chloe walked over to Lana and they started talking. Then Clark came over and was talking with both of them. Pete felt a small pain in his heart as he watched his best friends flirt with each other.
"There she goes, there she goes again
She calls my name, pulls my train
No one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains"
'If I could only tell her how I felt.' Pete thought, not knowing weather he was thinking about Chloe or Lana anymore. His heart was torn between the two women.
"There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains"
Slowly, the music went away and it was just Pete in the classroom watching his friends. He looked around with a frown. (A/N: HEY! That rhymed!) "Something is fishy in the state of Kansas." He said to no one.
"So, you two are back together?" Chloe asked as they walked towered their cars to go home, or in Chloe's case, to get more coffee from the Talon.
"Yeah," Lana said, clinging to Clark's arm. "And I for one am happy about it."
"Me, too." Said Pete. "I was getting sick of the angst y'all where going threw.
"Same here." Chloe said, laughing. "Well, I'll see you guys later. I need a coffee break." With a goodbye to all, she hoped into her bug and drove to the Talon.
Ten minutes later, she was sitting in the fare right corner where no one ever went. It was he favorite spot when she wanted to think. She had been thinking all day about her little song and dance number at her house last night.
"Good morning, Chloe." Came a voice. She looked and saw Lex standing there. Her heart began to beat faster.
"Hey, Lex." She said. "How are you?"
"I'm fine. I had kind of a weird not last night, though."
"How do you mean?" Lex sat down across from her as she spoke.
"Oh, nothing. Just Victoria showed up at my house is all." said he. 'And I sang some random song, but like I said, nothing.' He thought.
"Yeah, I had some weird stuff happen last night, too." Chloe said. "Did you know Clark and Lana got back together last night?"
"Really? Good for them. You're not still hung up on Clark, are you?"
"Oh, no, Lex. I am very happy for them. In fact I think I like someone else now." she said. 'In fact, I think I love someone else.' She thought. Suddenly, a song Chloe happened to like started playing. But it was from the speakers in the Talon. They where playing some lame pop song! Suddenly, she started singing:
"Those happy hours
That we once knew
Though long ago
Still makes me so blue
They say that time
Heals a broken heart
But time has stood still
Since we've been apart"
She put her hand over her mouth, not knowing where the words had come from. She blushed madly and turned to look at Lex just as he started to sing where she had left off.
"I can't stop loving you
I've made up my mind
To live in memories
All the lonesome time
I can't stop wanting you
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday"
He started blushing, too; a sight Chloe had never seen before. She was singing again, and had no time to think on the subject.
"Those happy, happy hours, baby
That we once knew
Though long ago
It still makes me blue
They say that time
Heals a broken heart
But time has stood still
Since we've been apart"
Lex took his hands in Chloe's and looked her in the eye. They gazed at each other as they started to sing together.
"I can't stop loving you, baby
I've made up my mind
To live in memories
All the lonesome time
I can't stop loving you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's useless to say
Useless to say
So I'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday"
'I never knew he could sing.' Chloe thought. 'Hell, I never knew I could sing. Wait, why DID we start singing? I don't understand it, but something weird is going on here.'
"Oh yeah, I've made up my mind
Made up my mind
So I'll just live my life
Live my life, yeah, yeah
I can't stop loving you
No, I can't
Baby, it's useless to say
Useless to say, yeah"
'It's just like last night.' Lex thought. 'Only I know this song. So does Chloe, I think. Why does this keep happening? I don't understand.'
"So I'm gonna live my life
Live my life
In dreams of yesterday
Yesterday
I'm gonna, gonna live my life
Oh yeah, yes I am
In dreams of yesterday
Dreams of yesterday
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."
The music stopped at they looked at each other. Chloe opened her mouth to speak but his lips where suddenly covering hers. She moaned and kissed him back, enjoying the warm feeling. Then he slowly pulled away.
"Do you know why we where just singing?" He asked.
She shook her head. "But I think we should find out. .Was there a reason for that kiss?"
He smirked. "Just kind of fit the mood of the song, don't you think?"
She smirked and hit him in the arm.
A/N: Ok, do next time I go back to writing my own songs, I just wanted to fit these two in here sooner or later. Hey, if you are bored, you can read "Hush Little Baby" and tell me what you think. Here's a challenge for you, there is also one in "Hush Little Baby", write a story from Lex's Mom's POV on Julian's death. Good Luck.
