All fresh, Clark eagerly strode down the stairs and was greeted by a dining table where a spread of plates had pancakes on top of them. Mr. and Mrs. Kent were already there, sitting down with Chloe, having a pleasant conversation. He placed his backpack in a corner.
"What did I miss?" Clark asked while rubbing his hands casually, obviously keen in stuffing those pancakes.
"Nothing dear," Mrs. Kent replied "Nothing that you should know about until later."
"Now that's unfair," Clark complained, pointing his fork upwards "My parents now know something I don't. What's going on?"
"Just eat your breakfast son. Its nothing that you'd wouldn't find out until later." Mr. Kent added
With that Clark resumed to his meal, gently slicing the warm golden pancakes in front of him, dusting powdered sugar on top of them.
The clock passed and blew into twenty minutes. They finished their breakfast.
"So Chloe, what's with the funny hat?" Clark took and held what appeared to be straw cap concoction, superbly appealing in size, with a bright pink flower on its middle that further added its punch.
"Just a little peripheral for the harsh sun." answered Chloe who was now in the kitchen helping Mrs. Kent wash the dishes. "Hand me that fruit bowl will you."
"Sure." Putting down the hat and picking up a bowl with carved fruits furnishing the glass; thus the title.
"Alright, that I understand," Clark added. "But why bring your laptop to the beach?" Handing the bowl to Chloe.
"That's part of the surprise, just wait until we're on the car and I'll ex..,"
Chloe paused.
"Hooold on a second there." Obviously stressing the hold part. "That's just a leather bag, how did you know my laptop was buried in there?"
*Dumb one Clark. Get yourself out this. Quick. Say something sarcastic.*
"Didn't you hear?" he questioned; blinking. "I have X-ray vision."
"Funny Clark, I'm holding my laughter here so your mothers plates won't fall off my hands."
"I'll be putting our stuff inside the jeep. Call me when you start believing." He then headed off outside, carrying his backpack, Chloe's leather case and a mysterious blue bag that was brought by none other than the Blonde sunshine herself.
As she stared at Clark walking towards the door, Chloe found it amusing that he was more than willing enough to carry all the bags at one go, yet while its combined weight would have been difficult to bring even for a farm boy like Clark.
