Chapter 1
Clark walks up the stairs of the barn and stands looking out the loft window. Thinking about the foreign exchange student coming later that day, his mind drifts about what she might be like. He suddenly turns around, having heard footsteps on the steps behind me. "Its just me Clark. Don't be so erratic. If Lana were the one walking up the steps you'd know. And speaking of Lana, your telescope isn't pointed there today, its actually pointed to the skies," says Chloe, with a smile. "I just have a new look on life, ever since what happened a few weeks ago," says Clark. "I'm curious, how come me, Pete, and Lana are the only ones that remembered what really happened. They all think a Twister came and destroyed half the city. Yet we know that you fought five superhuman aliens, and beat everyone of em," says Chloe, baffled. "To be truthful, I have no idea. I am kind of upset about the Talon though," says Clark. "Yeah, you and Pete pretty much jacked that up," says Chloe. "It's not like I intentionally aimed there," responds Clark, sheepishly. "Ok... and kind of ironic how two of your best friends, well one is your girlfriend, save you for a change. I don't even remember where I was during all of that," says Chloe, mind drifting. "The exchange student is coming her tonight," says Clark, changing the subject. "Do you guys even know what she looks like?" asks Chloe. "No idea," says Clark, and he sits down on the couch in the corner. Chloe sits down on the other side of the couch and relaxes against the pillows. "So what do you think she's going to be like?" asks Chloe. "I don't even know what to expect," says Clark. "What's her name? You have to at least know her name," says Chloe. "Yes I know her name, It's Rebecca Eve," says Clark. "Cool, well Clark, I have to get going. Oh, and a word of advice, watch your emotions and feelings," says Chloe, walking down the wooden stairs. "What do you mean?" asks Clark. Chloe responds with a wave and leaves. But the truth was, Clark had an idea of what Chloe was saying.
"Hey mom, since Rebecca won't be here for a couple of more hours, I'm going to go see Lana," says Clark, a very in love Clark. Martha smiles, "Go on." "I love you mom," says Clark, hugging her, and using superspeed, leaves.
Clark opens the door of the Talon, where he can here the song, Wherever you may go. He walks in, and from the side is attacked with a hug. Lana lifts up her knees and falls into his arms. He gently embraces her and kisses her. Their moment ends, and Lana is called back to the counter. "I'll come sit with you in a few minutes," says Lana, giving him one quick kiss and running off to the counter. Clark spots Pete and Chloe in the corner, Pete sipping an Espresso, and Chloe working on her laptop. He sits to the right of Pete and lays back in the chair. "You know, if I could move that fast, I could get stuff done so much faster. I just left your house in my car five minutes ago and your already here. You should use your powers for more important things," says Chloe. "Well, saving the world once a week is just for fun," responds Clark sarcastically with a smirk. Chloe rolls her eyes, and Pete laughs at her. She punches him in the shoulder and he punches her back. "Uh!" cries Chloe in protest, and she shuts her laptop. "Pete, you better run," says Clark, getting up from his seat and pushing it to the side. Chloe takes a sip of coffee as Pete jumps out of his seat. Chloe sets the cup down and chases him down. They both fall on the floor in front of the door, as a girl enters. Her golden blonde hair, with one blue bang, lays gently behind her beautiful face. She wears a white shirt, which reveals her navel, pierced with a blue azurite stone, and short blue shorts. She looks at the two laying on the floor in a heap below her. "Hi, I'm Rebecca Eve, is Clark Kent here?" asks the girl. Chloe and Pete look up and stand to their feet. "Yes, Clark is sitting right there," says Pete pointing to where Clark is sitting, sipping a coffee in the corner. The three walk over to Clark. "Hi Clark, I'm Rebecca," says Rebecca, staring into Clark's blue eyes. He stands to his feet, unbelieving of her natural and material beauty. "Hi Rebecca, take a seat," says Clark, pulling out the chair he had been sitting in. "What a gentlemen, thank you," says Rebecca, her face growing pinker and pinker. Clark sits down in the seat next to her, leaving one more seat. Lana smiles at one of her employees and walks over to Clark, when she notices the beautiful face between him and Pete. She controls her outraged and jealous feelings, and walks over to Clark, who she pulls into a passionate kiss. Rebecca looks at the two, and begins to feel the same feelings. Lana ends the kiss, and Clark pulls out her chair for her, and pushes it back in when she sits down. Chloe and Pete look at each other, large smirks on both of their faces. "Rebecca, this is my girlfriend Lana," says Clark, growing sick to his stomach from the building tension between all three of them. Lana and Rebecca shake hands, both mostly unwilling, but for Clark's sake. "I hope that you have a good time while you're here," says Lana, with a half-hearted smile. "Clark, your mother said that we needed to get back to your house," says Rebecca, getting up from her chair. "Ok, Bye Pete, Chloe, and Lana, I love you," says Clark, giving her a goodbye kiss, and he and Rebecca leave the Talon. "Lana, don't worry about her, Clark loves you," says Chloe. "I know, I'm not worried," says Lana, fakely. "Then why do you have that look in your face?" asks Pete. "I'll be fine, and so will he. I trust him," says Lana. Chloe rolls her eyes as Lana walks backs to the counter.
"So what do you think of everyone?" asks Clark, putting his hands in his pockets. "Pete and Chloe seem cool, but Lana doesn't seem to like me," answers Rebecca. "Listen, Rebecca, I know and you know that we're not going to do anything, and Lana knows to, I just think that her mind might be wandering a little," responds Clark, whole-heartedly. "I doubt you truly believe that. She doesn't trust you at all. Did you see the same face I saw, or were you trying to ignore it?" asks Rebecca. "Look, I love Lana, and I trust her. I trust her to trust me. She would not think twice about me being alone with you," says Clark, beginning to show anger at her. "Whatever, but maybe she shouldn't," says Rebecca. "And why is that?" asks Clark. Rebecca grabs him and kisses him furiously. He kisses her back for a split second, but quickly breaks it off. Clark stares at her for a minute, and his mind wanders, half holding back, the other half wanting more. "Tell my mom I'll be there a little late," says Clark, and he jogs off and suddenly disappears. "Clark!!" shouts Rebecca, and she begins to wipe away tears from her eyes. "I didn't mean to do that, its just.... it just is," thinks Rebecca to herself and she walks back to the barn.
Sitting atop the windmill he had been at so many times, once with Lana, and another to save Chloe, he thinks about what's happened, and what is feelings truly are, and if Lana really does trust him, even though without a doubt he trusts her. "Lana...." says Clark, holding an engagement ring in his hand. "Yes Clark?" asks Lana, appearing from almost nowhere. He quickly pockets the ring and invites her to come up. "How'd you find me?" asks Clark. "Your mom said you weren't home yet. She sounded angry, and said that Rebecca was sorry. She didn't tell me why Rebecca was upset though," says Lana, asking the question, without asking it. "She kissed me. For a brief second I gave in, but a broke out, faster than I gave in. I'm sorry," says Clark. "I should be sorry. I didn't trust you. I already knew what she did. I just didn't know if you were going to tell me the truth. I guess I was wrong. I'm sorry Clark," says Lana, and she leans into his arms. "Then were both sorry," says Clark. "I forgive you," says Lana, a bright smile on her face. "You forgive me? I didn't do anything wrong!" cries Clark playfully, and he grabs her waist and jumps off of the windmill. Lana screams and as they safely land, hits Clark, and runs into the field. Clark chases after her and uses heat vision to burn the path in front of her. She screams again, and he picks her up, uses heat to create a fire circle around them. He cradles her in his arms, and sits down, indian style in the grass, still holding her, as flames encircle them. He kisses the tears of joy running down her face and brushes his lips against her. He gives her an eskimo kiss and cradles her like a feather. "I hope this moment never ends," says Lana, staring into his eyes. "I'll never let it end."
