JUST FRIENDS, FOR SOME

Pairing: Lana/Clark

Rating: PG

Summary: After Lana answer answers Clark's question, the two go out on a double date with Chloe and Pete.

The Four friends stepped into the crowded movie theater, loaded with popcorn, candy, and soda.

I can't believe she said yes! Clark thought to himself. Lana Lang is my girlfriend!

They chose seats at the back of the theater, carefully avoiding feet and bags as they crossed to the section where four seats were available.

Clark sat beside Lana, who sat beside Chloe, who sat beside Pete.

As the lights dimmed and previews for other movies began to play, Clark swept Lana's hand into his. She smiled up at him and then they both turned back to the movie, trying to concentrate.

Pete and Chloe were all ready giggling, although they had chosen to see a scary movie called "Panic Room". They were cuddled close together, and Lana looked at them and giggled herself. Clark smiled, and the movie began.

……Later on in the movie……..

The movie was tense. So was the theater. Lana grabbed onto Clark's arm as something unexpected happened. Clark smiled and cuddled close to Lana. She smiled to herself.

"I'm having a really good time, Clark." Lana whispered.

"Me too. We should do this again, except maybe without the company?" Clark gestured towards Chloe and Pete. Lana smiled and said "Sure."

Before they knew it, they had embraced in a kiss. Both of the teens felt tingles run up and down their spines, as if they were experiencing an electric shock. They pulled away from each other, interrupted by a loud BANG coming from the speakers.

……… The Next Morning at School ………

Everyone had been talking about it. It was only third period, and Lana was sure the entire school population knew about her and Clark, and Chloe and Pete. Even the teachers. Students had gotten several detentions for talking in class, and Lana just knew what it was about.

Clark calmed her down, though. That warm, loving smile always melted her heart. Lana and Clark were about to turn the corner when one of Lana's old cheerleader friends came up to them.

"So, is it true?" Cheerleader #1 asked.

Cheerleader #2 piped in, "Are you guys, like, really going out?"

Lana grinned. "Yeah, it's true. Why? Is there a problem with it?" she questioned.

"Well," Monique, cheerleader #2, began, "What about Whitney?"

"Yeah, what about Whitney?" April, cheerleader #1 asked Lana.

"Whitney and I," Lana stated, "broke up almost 3 weeks ago. He left for the military, and we both just started having different experiences, and different feelings. I'm surprised the team hasn't told you about it! Do they even know?"

"Probably not."

"Well," April said. "we better get to class. Bye Lana. Bye Clark."

Lana waved and Clark gave a nod. They walked off to English class.

……… That night, at the Talon ………

Lana was just finishing serving the last customer-in-line when Clark walked in. He came over to her, and she greeted him with a huge kiss on the lips.

He beamed, "Wow! What was that for?"

Lana was just about to answer when……

"Lana, Clark, what the hell do you think you're doing!?"

They both looked sideways to see an infuriated Whitney Fordman.
