Hey thanx for the reviews all right. About the Lex thing with him hearing and all, I guess sometimes I think things out but forget to add a minor detail, so Lex heard the end of the tape just like Crystal did, he was thinking about what was just stated and forgot to turn it off. All right one other thing, this chapter is going to seem like one thing but turn out to be another so don't worry I didn't let any of you done! Hehe you'll know what I mean later. OK that's it please R&R thanx so much.
Lex and Crystal continue kissing. Crystal lay down on her bed as Lex began to kiss her neck, sending chills up Crystal's spine. Lex continues down to her collar bone. Crystal smiles and closes her eyes, Lex shifts his weight so he is more over her. She wraps her arms around his neck pulling his closer to her. She slips her hand under his shirt rubbing his back, while Lex's hand rests on her soft skin on her hip.
"Oh, crap. Uh my bad." Clark stutters looking away quickly when he opened Crystal's bedroom door.
Crystal slides out from under Lex and smoothes her shirt back into place. Lex stands up and runs his hand over his head avoiding eye contact with Clark.
"I just wanted to tell you I was going to get Lana now and then we can go." Clark says quickly before shutting the door and leaving.
Crystal glances over to Lex who smiles. She laughs "That was embarrassing."
Lex nods. "That it was. I didn't expect him to-"
"Don't worry about it, Clark's a big boy." Crystal answers moving closer to Lex and kissing him.
"He is." Lex agrees
"So what did he mean by we can go?" Crystal inquires
"You don't miss a thing. We as in you, me, Clark and Lana are going out tonight."
"I figured that was the we, but what I really want to know is the where."
"All in due time. Are you done? Getting ready I mean?"
Crystal smiles coyly "Do I look done?" She backs up.
Lex looks at her in her black pants, light purple chenille sweater. "You definitely do." Lex confirms
************
"Crystal and Lex kissing?" Lana asks incredulously
"On her bed." Clark confirms
"She moves fast." Lana jokes
"Lana please that's my sister!" Clark groans "I don't need visuals."
"I don't need to supply you with one, you saw it first hand."
"Now would be a great time to change the subject" Clark hints
"So will you please tell me where we are going?" Lana asks hopefully
"…………..No" Clark replies after pretending to think it over.
"Well am I overdressed?" Lana asks hoping for a hint
"A white sweater and khaki jeans. You are wearing an outfit very similar to my sisters so no Lana you are not over dressed."
"Do you know?" Crystal asks flinging the door open as Clark and Lana approach the house.
"No….so you don't either?" Lana asks wishfully
Crystal's face answers her clearly "Guys this is so not fair." She complains. She glances at Lex "And don't say life isn't fair."
"A party." Lex replies
"A party?" Crystal asks doubtfully
"Yes a party." Clark confirms
"A party?" Crystal asks again.
"Yes and don't say it again." Clark cuts her off
"She just means you, well we're not exactly….dressed for a party." Lana says trying to cover it up.
"We're not talking a bunch of wild adolescents boozing up and getting high." Lex tells them
"Then what are we talking about?" Crystal asks
"A grand opening kind of party."
"Like a store?" Lana asks
"No." Clark replies
"Then what?" Crystal asks frustrated
"A park, there's is going to be a grand opening of the SkyView (A/N: I made that up) Park in Metropolis. Kind of like a grand buffet moved outside and the evening will be finished off with fireworks. We thought you both would like that."
Crystal and Lana glance at each other warily.
Clark rolls his eyes "And "The Calling" will be there."
"Let's go." Lana says happily walking out the door followed by Crystal
"Forget all the nice stuff they want the band." Clark laughs grabbing his coat and walking outside.
"Ladies" Lex says as he opens the door to the limo.
*******************
The four of them arrived a while later and stepped out. Looking around.
"I love this song." Crystal smiles grabbing onto Lex's hand in reference to the song "Wherever you go".
"I'm glad you do." Lex replies pulling her close.
"Care for a drink?" A waiter asks holding a tray of champagne "The opening will be taking place shortly
(A/N: most places at a grand opening or whatever offer champagne, a lot of time to teens too. I have been offered, so that's why I put that in here.)
"Thanks." Lex replies taking a glass and passing it on. When they all have a glass the waiter walks away.
"This is actually kind of exciting. Nothing like this ever happens in Smallville." Lana says to Clark as Crystal and Lex wander away to find a good view
"What the band or the opening?" Clark teases
Lana smiles and playfully hits him. "You know what I mean."
"I know, but I like seeing you trying to be all tough."
"Just watch Clark, you may be superman but I can take you down any day." Lana whispers in his ear.
"I just may take you up on that one day." Clark whispers back. "Be careful."
"Ladies and Gentlemen may I have your attention? We will now be opening the park for all visitors please take the time to look around, get a bite to eat. Listen to the band and special thanks for then showing up." The announces pauses to applause "And don't forget about our spectacular fireworks show we have planned for later this evening. So sit back, relax and enjoy! And now a toast to a new beginning, not only for the park but for all of us here!"
Clark drinks his champagne and sets his glass down. "Let's go check this place out." He takes Lana's hand and they follow Crystal and Lex inside.
**********************
"You girls about ready to eat?" Lex asks
"Yea, I am at least. What about you Lana?"
"Yea me too, this place really was beautiful though, I never saw so many flowers in one place." Lana laughs
The four get food and find a place to sit. The waiter stops and offers champagne. Clark accepts.
"Clark that's like your third or fourth glass, you shouldn't drink that."
"Yea Crystal's right." Lana agrees. Lex watches silently.
"Don't worry about me. I can handle it." Clark assures them.
"Right. Do you remember the last time you got drunk?" Crystal asks "You threw up all night."
"You weren't in such great shape either I recall, how many have you drank tonight? Like I said I'm fine." Clark stands up as to prove his point when he gets a blinding headache. "Argh!" He exclaims sitting back down.
"Are you all right?" Crystal jumps up.
"Clark, stay still and let it pass." Lex instructs
Clark glances up and when his vision refocuses he realizes he can see through everyone. He sees skeletons walking all around him. His heart is pounding away rapidly. He shakes Crystal off, but does so with such force he sends her stumbling backwards.
Lex steadies her. "Clark sit down!"
"I barely touched her!" Clark exclaims
"It's true" Crystal whispers as her face turns pale. "Lana, Lana." She whispers "Everything is out of wack. The alcohol affected him!"
Lana looks at Crystal. "You're right it had to of, there's no explanation for this."
"Come on" Lex tells Clark helping him up.
"Where are you going?" Lana asks
"To the limo, we can't have him sitting out here like this." Lex explains "Help me"
They get Clark to the car and help him inside. "One of you tell me what's going on now." Lex says "If you don't how are we supposed to help him? He may be sick." Lex says seeing their hesitation.
"He can't go to the hospital" Crystal whispers
"So are we supposed to tell him?" Lana asks
"I don't know." Crystal replies wringing her hands looking freaked "I don't know."
"Crystal, calm down, it can't be as bad as you would think. Breathe and then tell me." Lex says in a softer tone
"Crys just do it." Clark mumbles pained
Her eyes dart to Clark and then to Lana, and finally back to Lex. "Clark, has uh powers, he came here because of the meteor shower in his spaceship. He's unbelievably strong and can see through things-"
"Which is the only way I can see right now." Clark moans
"And he's fast." Crystal finishes
Lex thinks about it for a minute "I knew…. I knew there was a logical explanation for why I am here today, that Clark wasn't just some guy who knew cars. Thank you all for trusting me." Lex leans over and opens the window so he can speak to the driver.
Lana prayed that it wasn't a mistake to tell Lex as she rubbed Clark's head trying to make him feel better.
"…..as fast as you can." They heard the end of Lex's instructions.
"Where are we going?" Crystal asks
Lex smiles comfortingly as Clark's vision began to fade and he started to pass out. "You have nothing to worry about……" He heard Lex say as everything went black and he became deaf to the noises around him. Clark struggled to open his eyes "…….after all your not superman right?" Clark heard Lex say
"You're right, and you're right it's been a burden keeping this a secret all these years. It's good to get this off my chest."
"You know what else would be nice to get off your chest?" Lex smiles leaning over to Crystal and she smiles and kisses him.
"Hey!" Clark yells "Don't touch her!" He went to get up but realized he was bound down by straps. "Hey!" He yells pulling the straps causing them to tear.
"Whoa there, we can't have you running off now can we?" A man asks "This should make it better." He says places a necklace with kryptonite
on it.
"Don't cause him too much pain." Crystal says walking in the room. She kisses Clark on his head. "After all he is the person I have come to know as my brother, he's been good to me."
"We wont hurt him." The man promises "We only want to find out about him."
Clark spots another man in the background giving Lex a check. "Crystal, don't buy into this, Lex is only in it for the money!" Clark yells
"Clark don't be silly, they only want to know about you, you'll be back home before mom and dad even come back."
"Crystal, their sucking the life out of me I can feel it."
"They have to keep the kryptonite on you otherwise you'd run off. It's for your own good."
"They've got you thinking this is all right." Clark exclaims
"That's because it is going to be all right." Lana smiles walking in. "You have nothing to fear unless you have something to hide….but then again this was your secret so you'll be fine…"
"Atta boy, just take a deep breath and close your eyes." An anesthesiologist says placing a mask over Clark's face.
Clark wakes with a start he looks around him fully expecting to be sitting in a scientists laboratory. Instead he sees his bedroom. He sees Lex sitting on the floor sleeping, Crystal fast asleep leaning on his, his hand draped over her. Lana asleep in the chair next to Clark's bed. Clark breathed a sigh of relief it had all been a dream. But then why was everyone camping out in his room?
"Clark." Lex's voice cut through the silence. "You feeling all right?"
Clark nods, not able to get out any words.
"You gave us a scare, we thought we had almost lost you."
Clark nods again.
"Clark." Lex says again, his voice softer this time. "You've become my most valuable friend. I wont tell anyone anything, mostly I'm just glad there is an explanation for my being here. For my not being dead." Lex tells him
"There is, for my sister." Clark replies
"That's my favorite reason." Lex answers stroking Crystal's hair looking down at her. "So we're cool then right? I wouldn't want you to think I would turn on you. This is good news, not bad."
"We're cool." Clark confirms reaching over and shaking Lex's hand.
"Good." Lex looks at Crystal. "Crystal." He whispers. "Come on."
"Mmm is Clark all right?" Crystal mumbles sleepily
"He's fine, let's get you to bed." Lex helps her up so he can walk her to her room.
"Lex" Clark calls and Lex turns around "Thanks."
"You'd of done the same for me. You already have." Lex smiles and he walks out.
All right that's it for now….but it's not over lol please R&R and tell me what you all think.
Lex and Crystal continue kissing. Crystal lay down on her bed as Lex began to kiss her neck, sending chills up Crystal's spine. Lex continues down to her collar bone. Crystal smiles and closes her eyes, Lex shifts his weight so he is more over her. She wraps her arms around his neck pulling his closer to her.
