Hey please R&R for my story in here or in my email I want to hear what you all think. Obviously you'll see as you read, I added a character so Clark will have a sister, in my story she is the Kent's real daughter and what they had wanted all along was a son. OK I also own no one and that's it I think. My story takes place around the time of Lana's b-day, so last episode basically. Oh and Crys as a nickname is pronounced Chris.

"Lana…hi….what are you doing here?" Clark asks surprised when he opened the door and found Lana standing there, secretly he was so happy it was like a dream come true it was-

"Is Crystal here?" Lana interrupts his thoughts

"Crys- oh yea I'll go get her." Clark opens the door so Lana could come in. "I think she's in the living room."

"Thanks Clark, I'd ask you to come along but we're going shopping and I doubt you'd want to join us." Lana laughs

Secretly Clark wouldn't of minded anything to get him close to Lana, "You two need a ride?"

"No Whitney is driving us in, Tom and him have practice so they're dropping us off on the way." Lana explains

"Oh OK, well then I guess I'll be seeing you. I'll go get Crystal." Clark replies disappointed as he goes to find his sister. "Crystal, Lana's here she's waiting for you." Clark says to her when he finds her in the living room.

"Oh ok thanks I'm coming." Crystal jumps up. Her light brown hair flew around her, her dark eyes sparkled with happiness. She looked nothing like Clark and everything like her parents. She stops before she runs out the door. "Hey Clark" She calls

"Yea?"

"Give it time."

"Give what time?" Clark asks confused

"I hear Whitney is going to be out of town this weekend…. strike while the iron is hot." She smiles as she shuts the door.

"Thanks but no thanks!" Clark calls but it's too late.

****************

"Bye Tom" Crystal gives her boyfriend a kiss and waves good-bye to Whitney. "Bye Whitney"

"Later." He calls as they drive off.

"So what is it we're supposed to buy today?" Crystal asks Lana

"Dresses for my party. Nel gave me money to buy you an outfit too and she insisted. She already talked it over with your mother.

"I'm beginning to think Nel is more excited then are you Lana" Crystal says lightly

"Believe me she is, I was telling Clark about that the other day. I like talking to him, he's a good listener."

Crystal laughs "Sure he is."

"No, really I mean it."

"Well of course he listens to you Lana, it's obvious, but Clark is so concerned with helping everyone else he sometimes doesn't even see what's going on in front of him."

"A little sibling rivalry I see." Lana observes

"You could say that, come on let's go in here." Crystal walks into a store.

Two hours later Lana and Crystal are in Lana's barn while Lana is brushing her horse.

"You really like those things don't you?" Crystal asks

"My horse? Yea. You should come riding with me sometime."

Crystal shakes her head. "Thanks but no, I hate those things." She calls from across the barn where she is sitting on a rail to an empty stall.

"The feeling is mutual."

"You scared me half to death!" Crystal exclaims

"My apologies." Lex replies "Lana how nice to see you again."

"Hi Lex." Lana replies still brushing her horse.

"I don't believe we've formerly met, Lex Luther." Lex introduces himself

"Crystal Kent" Crystal shakes his hand.

"I'm not surprised, minor details tend to slip his mind."

"I hardly think a sister is a minor detail."

"Yea, well tell that to Clark." Crystal jumps up "I'll see you later Lana, nice to meet you Lex."

"Nice meeting you as well." Lex replies as Lana waves a good-bye. "So Lana, I hear your birthday is coming up."

"I would think so, Nel spends so much time at your house planning." Lana replies

"Yes, funny how she is always there and yet your absence is always present. It is your party am I right?"

"It's my birthday, but hardly my party." Lana stops brushing.

"So I hear Clark is going to be your escort. Good choice."

"I'm still with Whitney." Lana protests

"Yet Clark is escorting you." Lex smiles "I just dropped by to say hello, I'm going to visit Clark now, I'll talk to you soon Lana."

Lana stands there silently as she watches Lex leave.

*****************

"Clark." Lex strolls over to Clark.

"Hey Lex."

"You never told me you had a sister."

"Crys? I thought I'd mentioned it, oh well no big deal right?"

"Of course not. There seems to be tension between you two."

Clark shakes his head "No, not really."

"All right. So the big day will be here soon, you going to show? Cause I know you're not the best at making appearances. Well at least that one time."

"It's a reoccurring action I can assure." Crystal smiles as she passes by them.

"No one asked you." Clark tells her

"I was simply including my knowledge on the aforementioned topic with you two." Crystal replies going back inside.

"She had wit." Lex observes

"Yea and more often then not, it drives me crazy."

"And you said there was no hostility." Lex shakes his head. "I have to go, I'll see you later, oh and tell your sister I said bye." Lex says walking to his car.

"Chloe called." Crystal says as Clark comes in.

"Called as in what?"

"Called as in she said it was important and is coming over, if you ask me she's got another hunch on a story and wants your help to get more info."

"I didn't ask you." Clark replies smiling.

"Touch-ee, remind me not to rely messages to you anymore." Crystal quips "You don't have to get all uptight as long as you show to the party you have nothing to worry about. After all you are super boy."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that maybe you should take your head out of the clouds for a few minutes everyday and see what's going on around here. I mean you take enough time to check up on Lana we all know that, and you do check on Chloe and Pete I'll give you that…but other then that…you might as well be blind."

"So what do you want me to do." Clark asks

"Wake up and check your priorities." Crystal replies as someone knocks on the door. Crystal opens the door. "Chloe nice to see you, I think you'll have about five minutes before Clark disappears again."

"What was that about?" Chloe asks

Clark shrugs. "What do you need help with?"

*******************

Crystal is sitting in the coffee shop, leafing through a magazine when someone sits across from her.

"We meet again."

She looks up "So we do."

"Is that anger I detect?" Lex asks

"Handsome and observant, hey you're two for two." Crystal replies

Lex is a little taken back but recovers quickly "You and Clark have a unique relationship."

"Is that what you'd call it?"

"What would you call it?" Lex presses

Crystal sighs and puts down the magazine "My parents always wanted a boy, and they got me. Then they adopted Clark to make up for it. We were both three and at first it just seemed like I had a new friend." She laughs "But he never left. He's not that bad, I don't mean to make him out to be this horrible person, he's just difficult."

"Complications is what makes life interesting." Lex tells her.

"That they do."

"You know you're incredibly fascinating and interesting. You seem to know what you want out of life."

Crystal smiles "I grew up fast."

"So you did. Would you care you go out tomorrow night? There's an art show opening tomorrow, I don't know if you're interested in art but they're usually enjoyable."

"Save your breath, I'd love to go, I love art." Crystal answers

"Good well then I'll see you at 7:00" Lex gets up and leaves.

******************

"Nice to you see." Martha greets Crystal

"Hi Mom."

"Where have you been?"

"I went shopping for a dress, then I went to the coffee shop."

"I should of known you'd end up there, you're never going to grow if you keep drinking stuff." Martha shakes her head.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Crystal assures her.

"What's this good mood about?"

"I was asked to join a friend at an art show opening tomorrow."

"That's great and who is this friend?" Martha inquires

"Lex Luther." Crystal replies

"Lex? What about Tom? He is your boyfriend."

"It's not a date, and I've only known Lex a day."

"And you agreed to go with him?"

"Mom calm down, you know him, so does Dad and Clark."

"I'm not sure how well you're father will react to this." Martha says slowly

"So then I can go right?"

"I suppose so, there doesn't seem like there could be any harm done at an art show….but your father, he may not agree."

"Agree on what?" Jonathan asks walking into the house.

"My going to an art show opening with a friend." Crystal says carefully

"Sure why not?" Jonathan agrees

Martha nudges Crystal

"What else?" Jonathan asks

"Well Dad, I wouldn't be going with Tom….."

"Who exactly would you be going with then?"

"Lex."

"Lex Luther? Lex Luther that is friend with your brother, offered to pay off our farm debts, is hosting Lana's party? That Lex Luther."

"There's more then one?" Crystal asks confused

"Jonathan, I don't see there to be any harm in an art show, and you know how much Crystal loves art…..if something goes wrong she can always call." Martha coaxes him

"I don't know Martha…I don't trust him…."

"Well maybe this is your time to give him a chance."

"With our daughter?!?"

"Jonathan come on, it'll be OK"

Crystal watches them waiting for an answer. Jonathan scratches his head. "All right, you can go, but if ONE thing happens you call immediately."

"Thank you so much! Both of you!" Crystal exclaims "I'm going to go call Lana."

As she goes upstairs Jonathan turns to Martha "I don't like this."

"Well I'm not completely for it either, but she has to learn to use her own judgment and remember she is still going out with Tom."

"Let's hope it's an uneventful night so she stops wanting to go out with him." Jonathan replies.

"I wouldn't worry, Crystal wouldn't fall for Lex." Martha assures him

To be continued. I had to stop here because 1: it's two in the morning and 2: it sets up for chapter 2 ……lol you'll see please R&R thanx!
