Author's note: alright, here's the clark interaction everyone wants. Sorry if this chapter isn't so great and smooth.but feedback anyways!



"Ok, everybody, round one is about to begin." Lana called out to the Smallvillians that had gathered around the stage, eagerly fingering their stockings hung in alphabetical order.

"C'mon Lana! I want to get my gift on!" A male voice called out.

"Alright, everybody! Find your stocking and see what's inside!" Lana grinned, then walked towards her stocking.

"Heh, whoever my Santa is has an.interesting sense of humor." Lana said as she unwrapped a shirt that was yellow and proclaimed 'Hey, I'm up here!' in red script across the chest.

Chloe grinned and tried to stifle her laugh as Clark galloped up to her.

"Nice shirt, Lana." Clark grinned, sharing in the infamous trio's joke and trying not to let on that he knew it was Pete who bought the shirt.

"Let me guess.you two went back to the mall without me and bought it?" Chloe said in a low voice, remembering how she fought with Pete for almost half an hour to reconsider the gift.

"You know it." Clark grinned, then showing Chloe what his secret Santa had gotten him. Ear muffs. Polka dot ones.

"Oh yeah, it's a cheerleader." Chloe said as she removed her gift from her stocking.

"How do you know?" Clark replied.

"Hello? Earmuffs! And they have pink polka dots. It's probably some girl trying not to upset her jockstrap of a boyfriend and got you this because it was the most platonic thing she could find."

"Makes sense. I've had my fill of jealous boyfriends, thanks." Clark said, heavily indicating Whitney who was talking to Pete a ways down. "Anyway, what did you get?" Clark asked.

"Christmas CDs!" Chloe grinned, her eyes glowing.

"Don't you have enough already?" Clark asked, remembering her 200 CD case that was strictly devoted to Christmas CDs.

"Hey, you can never know if you'll be in a pop star kind of Christmas mood, or a Charlie Brown Christmas mood, or."

"I think we've got it Chloe. Is there a card? A lot of people are writing riddles that give hints to who they are." Pete asked, coming up behind the two.

"A close friend of yours Gave me a hint that this is what You like to listen to Behind closed doors"

Chloe read and then turned to the two boys. "Which one of you is it?" She asked bluntly.

"I have no idea who it is!" Clark said and Pete nodded his agreement.

"Since it's the season to believe, I'll give you the benefit of doubt. But if it wasn't you guys, then it had to be Lana." Chloe grinned as she turned to find Lana and Whitney within close proximity.

"Ok, that's wrong. They are still broken up! Whitney can't just move in and out on her like that!" Pete piped up, frowning. "Right, Clark?"

"Hey, she's yours, my man." Clark grinned as Pete's eye got a determined glint in them and he turned and walked towards Lana and company.

"Ahh, just like old times." Chloe said bitterly.

"What?" Clark asked innocently.

"Nothing, Kent. I'm just glad Lana and I are on better terms these days. Or else I'd have to get jealous."

"Of Pete liking Lana?"

"Something like that." Chloe said secretly. She still did get jealous of Lana and all the attention she got from guys, as idiotic as it may seem. But, she no longer held it against Lana, and that's what was important.
