"Honey, we're home?" Chloe called as she slid her card key to the
hotel room into her purse and opened the door.
"In here!" Pete called, and Chloe raised an eyebrow at Lex and
followed the sound of Pete's voice to find Clark and Pete still
sitting in front of the TV, a PS2 controller lodged in both of their
hands.
"Please tell me you haven't been playing this game the whole.2 and a
half hours we have been gone." Lex grinned, checking his watch.
"Hey, talk to Pete. He seems to be dead set on beating my high
score!" Clark replied, glancing at Lex, and then glancing back at
the screen as his character blew up and Pete threw his controller
down, jumped up, and started dancing.
"Oh, look at that, Clark man! I wooon!" Pete grinned, dancing a
little jig, then composing himself enough to grab a Coke off the
table next to him and pop the top.
"So, how was the movie, guys?" Clark asked, setting down his
controller and grabbing a Coke, then plopping into a chair.
"It was hilarious!" Chloe exclaimed, shoving herself in next to
Clark. "Hey, aren't you supposed to give up your seat if there's a
lady who wants it?" Chloe asked him, wiggling around, trying to get
Clark to budge.
"Fine, fine." Clark said, standing up and Chloe grinned triumphantly
as she settled into the seat.
"So, who wants to do what now?" Lex asked the teenagers in front of
him.
"Lex, man," Pete said, grinning and throwing his arm around Lex's
shoulder. "I'm sure you know enough people to get us into a really
tight night club, am I right?" Pete asked.
"I could." Lex started, weighing his options heavily. Corrupting the
town's youth probably wouldn't make anyone in Smallville forget
whose little boy he is.
"But I won't. But I know a sixteen and up club that isn't as
dangerous as most of the clubs here," Lex decided, receiving a look
of disappointment from Pete. "Come on, the town would burn me at the
stake if I introduced you to the murky underworld of Metropolis
night clubs." Lex reasoned.
"Good point." Clark stated, and Pete reluctantly nodded his head in
agreement.
"Well, I know cow town boy one and two over there have no idea how
to dress for a Metropolis night club, but I do. Gimme ten minutes."
Chloe grinned, grabbing multiple things from her suitcase and
practically bouncing into the bathroom.

"Guys? I'm ready!" Chloe called as she exited the bathroom. Lex,
Pete, and Clark looked up from their conversation, and each boys
eyes got wide.
"Whoa, Chloe! Nice!!" Pete grinned, standing up and walking towards
her. "Leather hip-huggers, huh? How come you never wear these to
school?" Pete whined.
"I'm not one to rock the boat, you know?" Chloe said, smiling and
blushing slightly at Pete's praise.
"Chloe, I will never think of you as a small town girl again! Not
many small town girls I know can dress like club appropriately, and
in less than an hour, I'm impressed." Lex said, joining Pete by
Chloe.
Chloe smiled graciously, then turned to Clark, who had followed Lex
over.
"Well, what do ya think, Kent?" Chloe asked.
"Uhm.wow?"
"Very articulate! Now let's go already! I wanna gooo! And you guys
should feel so honored to be seen with a girl like me anyways."
Chloe said, interlocking her arms with Pete's and Clark's.
"Is she always like this?" Lex asked Clark in a low voice as they
stepped into the elevator to meet the limo downstairs.
"No. I think she's just more.free in her natural habitat." Clark
answered as the elevator hit the lobby and Chloe hurried them all
out to the limo.
Lex smiled as he noticed Clark checking Chloe out for the umpteenth
time since they had all piled into the limo.
`Good Lex, good. Get the girl in some actual girly clothes, and
Kent takes notice. Well done, my man.'
