A giant snowball splattered across the back of Clark's head and he whirled around to see Chloe rushing away crazily. He smiled an evil grin and began packing a snowball especially for his daring friend.
Byron ran at Clark and dove behind him just as another snow hurled across the farmyard and flew past Clark's cheek.
Pete and Sarah were racing towards them with at least ten snowballs and laughing with each step.
"Wait a minute - who said we can have teams?" Clark asked innocently as he and Byron clumsy ran away.
"This is a snowball fight, Clark," Pete shouted as he throw a clump of snow at his friends."There are no rules."
Byron and Clark split up and, lucky for Clark, both Pete and Sarah attacked Byron. Clark stopped and looked back to watch the fight.
"I guess I'm a little late."
Clark turned to see Lana walking up to him.
"You didn't miss much. Where have you been?"
Lana looked away.
"Just - thinking about stuff."
Clark could pretty much guess what the 'stuff' was.
"It must be pretty confusing. I know it is for me," Clark admited looking at his feet.
Lana glanced back at him.
"I don't want to be mad at you, Clark. But I can't just ignore the fact that there were so many times you could have told me, but you never did."
"I know. And it messed everything up and it made you mad and me sorry," Clark expressed clearly."Not telling you made me hurt so bad. I never want to feel that way around you again, Lana. That's why I told you."
Lana sighed. Everything was so difficult.
"I'm not asking you to forget everything and and forgive me. I'm only asking you to understand and not expose my secret. All I ever wanted was -"
"-to be normal," Lana finished helpfully. "You know, Clark, you say you're nothing like the guy you've tried to be, and really that's just what you are. You're still that shy guy next door who was always there for me. You always will be."
"I wouldn't say that -"
"Clark, I know you're secret and you're still pushing me away," Lana confessed openly.
Clark sighed seriously.
"I just don't want you be with me unless you feel perfectly comfortable with all of me - including my secret. I want to you to trust me," Clark requested deeply.
Lana moved closer.
"I do."
Clark leaned in and kissed her. A short sweet kiss. He broke away but Lana leaned forward and kissed him again. Clark put his hands on either side of Lana's face. He pulled out and kept his eyes closed.
"The others are probably wondering why we aren't clobbering them with snowballs," Clark announced jokingly.
Lana smiled and knodded happily.
"I think I could go for some clobbering."
*~*~*
The rest of the day went by much faster then any of them would've liked. Their joyous snowball fight ended with no winner. They'd all equally gotten smothered in the freezing snow.
They sat in the Kent's large and welcoming living room sipping Martha's freshly made hot chocolate.
"Wow, I'm having de jah vu," Chloe expressed as she took another sip of her drink.
"Yeah, but at least this time Clark's awake to see it," Lana agreed as she smiled at him.
Clark smiled back. Everything was perfect. Lana was sitting next to him on the comfy couch with her head lieing sweetly on his shoulder and his arm wrapped firmly around her. She was curled up and close as she could get to him. The glorious Christmas tree stood to the left of the fireplace which was directly in front of the happy couple. The tree was decorated with every single ornament that Clark could remember. The lights glittered all around the pine branches and on the very top was the golden star. When Clark was younger he always use to wish on the glowing pointed object placed on his Christmas tree every year. He couldn't remember any year when he hadn't wished for a moment like the one he was having right now. The faint tunes of Nat King Cole could be heard from the hidden speakers in the room. The song that was playing at moment was 'The Christmas Song'. It somehow fit beautifully with the mood of everyone within hearing distance.
"Can you believe that tomorrow is Christmas Eve?" Sarah suddenly acknowledged surprisingly.
"I know. It comes up so fast. What're you guys gonna do for Christmas?" Byron wondered trying get conversation started.
"I'm going to my grandmas to get trampled by each and everyone of my little cousins," Pete stated dully."But I do get presents so I guess that works out pretty well."
"My dad was talking about going Florida...I'm not sure if we'll go since we went last year...," Sarah admited modestly.
"Wow, all I ever do every year is get presents and then wait for my relatives to come over," Chloe admited jealously.
"Yeah, well I doubt I'll even get one present from my parents. Ever since I've been living with Earl they've never even took the time to make one phone call," Byron said depressingly as he took a hopeless sip of cocoa (A.n. just wanna mention that in my little world, Byron has been getting treatment for his 'condition' and has been living with this man named Earl because his parents couldn't handle him anymore. k, back to our regularly scheduled program.).
"Haven't any of you gotten an invitation from Lex?" Clark asked concerned.
They all showed facial expressions that told Clark they had not.
"He's having a huge Christmas party. The whole thing lasts from six at night on Christmas Eve to eleven the following day - Christmas."
"Damn, that's one hell of a party," Byron blurted out.
"Yeah, and my mom's makin some of the desserts. Lex told me he invited you guys," Clark promised wishing he hadn't mentioned the party at all. Now they all felt left out."He asked me who I'd like to come and he saw him write the invitations. Then he...oops."
Clark pulled out a fat stack of envelopes from his coat pocket.
"He gave them to me to give to you guys."
They all laughed a little as Clark handed everyone their invitation.
"I don't expect any of you will be able to come. It's kinda short notice - sorry," Clark apologized weakly.
"Actually, I'm pretty sure I can come," Lana stated gratefully.
"Really? That's great," Clark said through his huge smile.
"Yeah, I'll come. But definitely not for the whole thing," Sarah added olding up her slip of paper and stuffing it in her coat.
"A slumber party in a mansion? That's crazy," Chloe critcized maturely. Then showed a childishly smile."I'm in!"
Clark hoped they'd all come. It would make the whole thing much more fun. Especially having Lana there next to him.
