*~*~*
Clark stood uncomfortably in the back of the large ballroom of the Luthor mansion. There were many guests swaying to the music already, but Clark knew no one there except for his parents and Lex. The bass of the music shook the ground a little and the lights of the stage where the music was being played flew across the crowd. Clark turned around and filled his plastic cup with another round of fruit punch. Where was everybody?
He supposed they were coming later. After all, this was going to be a long party. He hoped nothing would go wrong.
"Lonely, Clark?"
Clark snapped his head back to see his friend, Lex standing professionally behind him in a brand new tuxedo which made Clark's regular suit look twice as dull.
"Hey, Lex."
"Where's all your faithful companions?" he asked coolly as he grabbed his own cup and poured a drink.
"Oh they'll be here," Clark assured even though in his mind there was still doubt.
"Listen, Clark. I'm really glad you're alright. I think you gave all of us a scare."
"Well, I'm alright now," Clark said straight forwardly."How's your leg? My parents told me you sprained it or something."
"Yeah, but it's pretty much healed now. I was hopeing it would be. I wouldn't cancel this party for the world," Lex smiled as he looked on at the massive crowds of people who were happily dancing and talking with each other.
"What made you want to have a party like this?" Clark asked eagerly.
"I don't know. I just figured - why not?"
Clark thought about that for a while.
"I guess that makes sense."
Lex smiled and put a hand on Clark's shoulder.
"If I were you, I'd have other more important things to think about right now," Lex hinted looking over Clark.
Clark followed his gaze to see Lana smiling uncontrollably at him. He quickly set his drink down and walked briskly toward her.
"I thought you weren't going to make it."
"Well, it took me a while to get ready," Lana admited not taking her eyes off Clark. He looked extremely handsome in his clean suit and black bow tie.
Clark noticed Lana's amazing pearl colored dress. It showed her curves beautifully. And her hair was curled loosely like it had been at Lex and Desire's wedding.
"You look great," he complimented after he'd realized he'd been staring at her this whole time.
"So do you," she added sweetly.
A new song began on the speakers.
"Care to dance?"
"I'd love to."
Clark and Lana made there way onto the dance floor and then Clark stopped and turned around to Lana. They held each other close as the music flowed around them.
*~*~*
The clock notified Clark it was 11:55 at night.
"Lana?"
"Hm?"
"Are you tired?"
"A little," Lana admited softly as she buried her head deeper into Clark's chest.
"We don't have to keep dancing," Clark suggested still swinging back and forth to the music.
"What else is there to do?"
Clark suddenly smiled to himself. He pulled Lana out of his embrace and grabbed her hand.
"Follow me."
"Where are we going?"
Clark guided her toward the large wooden doors out of the ballroom.
"You'll see."
*~*~*
Clark continued to lead Lana down a series of thick carpeted corridors with walls lined with dozens of midevil tapestries.
"Clark," Lana whined. "You aren't taking me to any kind of bedroom are you?"
Clark looked back at her in horror.
"Lana, it's Christmas Eve. And I'm Clark Kent."
"Just checking," Lana said innocently smiling.
Finally Clark turned the corner and stopped. There were a pair of polished cherry wood doors in front of them.
"Close your eyes," he ordered quietly.
Lana obeyed and shut her eyes.
"Are they closed?"
"Yes."
Clark cautiously rushed to the doors and opened them. He then walked back to Lana and placed his large hands over her face.
Lana was startled and grabbed Clark wrists for support.
"Keep going straight," Clark informed smiling inspite of himself.
Lana slowly edged towards the the room and as soon as her feet passed the door frame, Clark removed his hands.
"Now, open them," he whispered softly in Lana's ear.
She lifted her eyelids open and could hardly believe what she saw.
The whole room was in a circular shape. Its ceiling seemed to go on forever. The great glass windows showed the miles and miles of Luthor property and the moon shined its great light in on the magnifient room. This wouldn't have been all that beautiful if hadn't been for the fifty foot Christmas tree which stood tremendously in the center of everything. It's branches were covered with twinkling lights, glittering angels and lovely little golden and silver ornaments. It looked like something the president would gladly take for one of the rooms in his enormous house.
"Oh - my - gosh."
"While my mom was preparing the food for tonight in Lex's kitchens, I was up here decorating this," Clark explained walking around Lana then stopping when he was directly in front of her.
"You didn't have to - to do all this," Lana said half overjoyed and half guilty. She'd been thinking of all things that she hated about Clark - he was never truthful, he always hid from her, he was never there when she wanted him - and here he was spending most of Christmas Eve decorating a fifty foot tree for her. She felt her eyes water.
"I know. I wanted to," Clark said smiling. He placed a piece of Lana's wonderful smelling hair behind her ear."I didn't really know what you wanted for Christmas so I just decided that this was as good as any present I could find at a department store."
"No, it's not," Lana stated as a happy tear rolled down her cheek. "It's so much better."
Clark smiled.
"Then why are you crying?"
"Because, after everything you've done and said to me, I still have feelings for you," Lana confessed. "It's like I think I never want see you again, and then go and pull off something like this to win me over. It makes me love you even more."
Clark was a little surprised by this, but didn't hesitated to move in for a kiss. She smelled great. Her kiss was soft and full of love. He pulled her closer.
Lana wrapped her arms completely around his neck. She couldn't have asked for a more memorable Christmas Eve.
The grandfather clock in the hall donged twelve times.
Make that a more memorable Christmas morning.
Clark slowly broke away.
"Merry Christmas, Lana."
"Merry Christmas."
"So, where's my gift?" Clark asked greedily.
"I just gave it to you," Lana whispered lovingly.
He joined with Lana in smiling eternally.
*~*~*
The party lasted just as long as Lex had said and would've lasted longer if the guests hadn't been so tired and sore from all the dancing.
They all slowly made their way out the door muttering some sort of thank you to Lex and his waiters and of course to Martha Kent for her amazingly delicious sweets.
"I guess your party was a success," Clark exclaimed to Lex who was over looking the empty dance floor.
It looked much bigger now that the crowd was gone. Cups lined all the tables and the punch bowl was as empty as the room itself.
"Yeah," Lex agreed turning around to face Clark."To bad it'll never happen again."
"Why not?" Clark frowned.
"Do you think I'd hold the same enormous party in my mansion next year? No way. Next year, I'm going for something even bigger," Lex proclaimed proudly.
Clark laughed.
"Sounds good to me."
"So, how are things with you and Lana?"
Clark was a little surprised that Lex was interested enough in him and Lana that he would be willing to change the subject, but he answered the question truthfully.
"I think our relationship is finally going to work out."
"Why is that?"
Clark hesitated.
"I guess I just realized that she means a whole lot more to me than I thought. I mean, last year it was like all ever wanted was to get her to notice me, and I then when she did start to notice I tried to act like a potential boyfriend instead of the guy I really am."
Lex smiled.
"It's always better to act like yourself, Clark. Don't you think?"
Clark thought for a while and then agreed.
"Yeah, I do."
*~*~*
The night wind invaded the town of Smallville and the full moon shined its glowing light on each little snow-covered house and building and poked through every blind and shutter. The stars pierced the sky with their white blazing balls of fire. A few dark colored clouds gathered around the moonlight as if they were watching it admiringly.
~Chesnuts roasting an open fire~
~Jack Frost nipping at your nose~
~Yuletide carols being sung by a choir~
~And folks dressed up like eskemose~
And in the mist of one of those clouds was a figure. A person. Clark Kent. He shored above all the fields and roads towards the bright moon.
~Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe~
~Help to make the season bright~
~Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow~
~Will find it hard to sleep tonight~
Lana lay comforted in Clarks chest with his arms wrapped protectively around her. A smiled played on her lips. Nothing was more beautiful then this.
~They know that Santa's on his way -~
~He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh~
~And ev'rymother's child is gonna spy~
~To see if reindeer really know how to fly~
"Is there anything you can't do?" she asked jokingly.
"Yeah."
"What's that?"
"I can't stop loving you."
Lana looked up and was convinced that Clark Kent was the one.
"Clark, this is by far the best Christmas of my life," Lana announced.
"Feeling's mutual, Lana," Clark stated as he rose higher and higher in the night sky.
~And so I'm offering this simple phrase~
~To kids from one to ninety-two~
~Although it's been said~
~Many times, many ways~
~Merry Christmas~
~To you~
