A/N : Here is the next chapter. Thanx to becs for reviewing - even if you're the only person reading I will still keep writing and yes as the story progresses you will find out more about Megan's secret. In fact in this chapter Clark begins to realise something weird is going on...

Disclaimer : Megan is a character that I invented, the rest of the characters do not belong to me, I am just borrowing them.

A few days past and Megan was having the time of her life in Smallville. She loved staying with her uncle and her cousin and she'd quickly become part of Chloe's group of friends, but the best part was Clark. She felt so safe with him around and she knew that she was in love, even though she had only known him for about a week. Once the summer was over, Megan knew she would have to leave all of this behind but that didn't stop her enjoying herself while she had the chance. What Megan didn't know was that things were not going to stay as perfect as they had been.

Clark walked into the Talon and was greeted by Lana and Pete.

"Hey Clark, we were just talking about you" Pete told his friend.

"Sounds ominous," Clark made a face, "what were you saying about me?"

"Just how you and Megan make such a cute couple" Lana assured him, "it's gonna be rough when she has to go back to Metropolis"

Clark frowned a little. He hadn't really thought much about Megan leaving when the summer was over, even though he knew she had to go back to Metropolis eventually. His mood brightened when Pete spoke again.

"She really is something special, Clark. You sure are a lucky guy" Clark smiled at that, it was true Megan really was extra special, "and it is weird how much she looks like Erica" Pete continued and Clarks expression changed to confused.

Erica was Pte's latest girlfriend. He had asked her to the Spring Formal and they had been together ever since. Everyone had been surprised to learn that Pete was truly in love and that he planned on sticking with this one girl for good. Clark had never seen Pte so serious about any member of the opposite sex.

What Clark didn't understand was how Erica and Megan looked alike. For a start Erica had lighter hair and it was longer too, plus Megan's eyes were blue and Clark was pretty sure Erica's were green. There were definitely more differences than similarities but Clark couldn't be bothered to have an in-depth discussion about it now.

"Yeah, okay," Clark said, and quickly changed the subject to his original reason for visiting the Talon, "I actually came in here to see if Lex was around, any ideas where he is?"

Lana told him Lex had been in about half n hour ago to pick up some paperwork and that he said he was going back to the mansion to do some work.

"I've just come the mansion!" Clark groaned, "I must have passed him on the way here without noticing!"

Lana giggled her trademark giggle as Clark left the Talon and drove his truck in the direction of the Luthor residence.

"Hey Lex, you busy?" Clark smiled as he entered his friends study.

"Never to busy for a friend Clark" Lex stood up from his desk, "but don't tell anyone I said that" he smirked, "it's bad for the reputation"

Clark smiled but his expression quickly changed to one of uneasiness as he continued to speak.

"Lex, can I talk to you about something?"

"Which is it?" Lex said simply, and Clark's expression changed again, this time into completely confused.

"Money or women?" Lex explained what he meant by his question when he spotted Clark's baffled look. "When a guy asks another guy for advice about something it's usually financial or romantic, so which is it?"

Clark looked embarrassed but he carried on anyway.

"It's Megan" he blurted out.

"Ah yes, the lovely Megan who has stolen our dear Clark's heart" Lex joked, before turning serious for a moment, "you know you made a good move there. She's a nice girl, intelligent, good sense of humour and you know it's amazing how much she looks like Chloe. I mean I know their cousins and everything but it's uncanny"

Clark pulled a strange face, but Lex didn't noticed as he moved some papers around on his desk. It was weird, Clark thought, that two guys today had told him they were surprised by how much Megan looked like their girlfriends. Plus, now that he thought about it, hadn't his Dad mentioned how strange it was that Megan looked a lot like Martha did when she was younger? Clark couldn't see any resemblance between Megan and any of these people. He was quickly pulled out of his thought by Lex's next question.

"So what's your problem?"

"Well, I really like her, and I wanted to tell her, but I haven't known her that long and I'm not sure if she likes me as much a I like her and..." Clark continued to ramble when Lex interrupted.

"Clark, do you love her?"

"Yes" his answer came with no hesitation at all.

"Then tell her" Lex said, as if it wee the most obvious thing in the world, but Clark wasn't sure.

"But-"

"No buts, Clark. If you love her, then tell her. If she feels the same way it'll probably give her the courage to tell you and if she doesn't, well then it's probably best that you find out now instead of hoping for something that will never happen"

"I knew you were the best person to ask" Clark smiled again now, "Thanks"

"Hey, it's what I'm here for" Lex smiled too, "to pass my wisdom onto the new generation of confused young people in love"

Lex had always been a good friend to Clark but he'd been an even better man since he'd fallen for Chloe. Lionel Luthor was dead and Lex Luthor was in love with Clark's best friend, and because of these things Lex was a better man and he and Clark had become better friends than ever. Clark looked upon this man as the older brother he never had and Lex looked upon Clark as the younger brother he should have had.

The young man thanked his 'older brother' again and left the grand house. He was glad he had asked Lex's advice and he knew now exactly what he wanted to do. Megan was coming over to the farm alter and then he would tell her how much he loved her. He was happy in his thoughts but there was one thing that still bugged him. What was with all the different descriptions of Megan? He didn't really want to talk to anyone about it - it was just too weird! But Clark had forgotten that this was Smallville, and weird was often normal for that small town.
