A/N : Here's the next chapter. My thanx to 'Idiot Savant', 'americangurl15' and Megan for the reviews. Creepy how two people reading this fic are called Megan, isn't it? Especially when one of them apparently looks like the character and can fix trucks!?!

Anyway, here is the next chapter with some soppy moments and a weird moment at the end...

Disclaimer : DC Comics and WB own all the characters, except the character of Megan whom I created.

Megan woke up early the next morning. Her illness and her journey the day before should have caused her to feel tired, but by seven o'clock she felt as awake and alive as the farm she was on. She got out of bed and pulled on her dressing-gown, almost feeling glad that she had passed out while Clark was around. Waking up on his family's farm gave her a warm and exciting feeling, similar to the feeling she had felt the night before when she had tripped on the steps and Clark had caught her.

Megan moved over to the window and looked out at the view. Fields spread out all around, parted by fences, some green, some yellow, some empty, some graced with the presence of farm animals - it was all so beautiful, but one thing caught Megan's eye. Clark was in the field nearest the house, apparently mending the fence. He looked around suddenly, almost as if he had sensed she was looking down on him. He smiled his perfect smiled and waved to her. She waved back and gave him a wide smile of her own before deciding it was time she got properly dressed.

Just ten minutes later, she was in front of the mirror, trying to brush her hair into some sort of style. It was one task in the morning that always took a while. Her hair was fairly short but got pretty wild over night and she was by the mirror, trying to tame it when she heard a tap on the door.

"Come in" she called, without turning away from the glass. Clark stepped into the room.

"Breakfast's ready. Are you hungry?" he said to Megan's reflection, since it seemed less rude than talking to the back of her head. She had looked beautiful the day before but this morning she looked even better some how. He watched as her reflection smiled.

"I'm starved!" she replied, finally putting down her brush and turning to face Clark. There was no particular reason for it, but Clark took hold of Megan's hand to lead her down to breakfast. As much as Clark did not know why he felt the need to do it, Megan could not explain why she liked the feeling of his hand around her own.

Jonathan was a little surprised to see the two young people walking down the stairs hand in hand, but Martha didn't seem surprised at all. She knew that Clark always had concern for anyone in trouble, but she sensed this was something different - call it mother's intuition but she knew they had a different kind of connection, a special bond.

At breakfast, Megan thanked the Kent's for all their help and said that she would drive to the Sullivan's house straight after breakfast. Martha noticed Clark's pained expression as Megan spoke. It was obvious he did not want her to leave so soon.

"I'll tell you what," Martha began, "why doesn't Clark drive you over? I don't like the idea of you driving when you're still weak from yesterday and besides Clark was going to make a delivery to the Talon for me today so her could do that on the way"

Clark grinned and nodded in agreement to his mother's suggestion and Megan did not seem to need much convincing that it was a good plan, either.

Clark pulled up outside the Talon. There had been an awkward silence in the truck which both person blamed on themselves and the feelings they had for the other.

"Hey, do you want to come in with me?" Clark asked as he climbed out of the truck, "I'd like you to meet some of my friends"

Megan looked a little sceptical, but she agreed and the two made their way inside, Clark carrying a pile of pies from his mother and Megan stuck to his side like glue.

"Hey Lana!" Clark called as he slid the pies onto the counter, "These are the pies my Mom promised you"

"Thanks," the girl behind the counter smiled, "and who is this?" she asked, glancing at the girl beside Clark.

"Lana this is Megan, Megan this is my friend Lana"

The two girls smiled at each other and said 'hi'.

"Lana is my neighbour," Clark continued, talking to Megan, an then turning to Lana, "and Megan is Chloe's cousin"

"Oh right, well I hop you enjoy your visit to Smallville, Megan" Lana smiled extra sweetly, as she picked up the pies and disappeared into the back. Clark didn't even notice. He'd had feelings for Lana before, he had had feelings for Chloe too, but now the only feelings he had were for Megan and they were stronger than anything he'd ever felt before.

"Hey Clark!"

A voice broke Clarks train of thought and he turned to see Pete waving at him.

"Oh, hi Pete. I'd like you to meet Megan - Chloe's cousin" Clark told his friend gesturing to the girl beside him. Megan turned to look at the next of Clark's friends and smiled at the boy she saw.

Pete was stunned by the girl he was looking at. She had to be the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He stood and stared without a word.

"Hello, Earth to Pete" Clark waved his hand in front of his friends face in order to get a response. Pete barely heard him as he continued to stare and Megan was clearly embarrassed. She looked to Clark for salvation.

"Shouldn't we be getting going now?"

"Oh yeah," Clark checked his watch, "I told Chloe I'd have you over there by ten" It was only a five minute drive to Chloe's house from the Talon but Clarks' watch told him it was already ten o'clock, "and we're late!" he added as he waved goodbye to Lana and Pete and practically dragged Megan out of the coffee house. The last thing Clark wanted was a lecture on punctuality from his blonde friend and Megan didn't mind leaving the Talon so fast, anything to get away from the 'staring guy'.

Pete's eyes had stayed locked on Megan until she was completely out of view.

"Are you okay?" Lana asked him as he fell onto a stool by the counter.

"Never better" he told her, "as long as my girlfriend didn't just see that!"
