Gilda Radner's voice saying, "have you seen my singing carrot," followed by giggles made Martha cringe and smile at the same time. Soon Gilda's voice was accompanied by the very off key voice of her son Clark. As he hit a particular note she reminded herself to thank Kayla for the Muppet madness inheritance she left him.

As his singing dissolved into laughter, Martha decided that unlike Jonathan she really was grateful. What few words Clark had been saying stopped the second Kayla had to go back to Metropolis. He had then spent hours silently watching the show. Surprising them all one week later with a perfect vocabulary. Privately Martha felt that he stopped talking because his translator was not there anymore.

As the song ended and Kermit began to talk to Gilda some more Martha remembered the last time she had seen this tape.

Kayla and Clark were lying on the floor watching Gilda and her carrot sing. Martha walked in and placed a plate off cookies next to the half empty milk glasses in front of them.

"Thanks Mom," Kayla said not taking her eyes off the screen. Now that Clark was there she had taken to calling them Mom and Dad so he would call them by those names.

"Bokle!" Clark shouted.

"He says thanks to." Kayla informed the stunned looking Martha.

"Kayla, how do you know that?"

"He told me."

Martha stayed for a few more minutes watching their silent interaction as if for the first time.

"Mommy!" Clark's excited voice broke into her thoughts.

"What sweetie?" she asked looking down at his beaming face.

"Daddy just past the Smallville sign, Kayla will be here soon!"

"That's good," Martha said. She again thought about telling Jonathan about her suspicions. Glancing again at her happy boy she decided she was reading to much into his excited outburst.

The ringing phone forced her to leave the room. Picking it up she was disappointed to her Nell's voice on the other end. Before she knew what had happened Kayla had been volunteered to take Lana along trick or treating tonight.

Ten minutes later an over-excited Clark was on the porch bouncing from foot to foot. The second Kayla was out of the truck he ran over knocking her to the ground.

Laughing she returned the hug and placed a kiss on his head. Picking him up she gave Martha a hug before turning to the boys flanking her.

"Martha you remember Bruce and Alex." She said gesturing to the boys flanking her.

Clark having never met Alex wiggled out of Kayla arms and went over to him. Shyly he lifted his hand and shook the older boys. Then to the delight of Kayla and Bruce proceeded to stick his tongue out at him.

"That means he likes you," and embarrassed Martha told him

Alex only laughed before sticking his own tongue out and tickling Clark stomach.

"Do I have to Kayla," whined to Martha as she was dressing up in her costume.

"Unfortunately yes," Martha told her as she tried to fit a wiggling Clark into his costume. "I didn't know what I was getting you into and once I did I realized I wasn't going to be responsible for ruining Lana's Halloween. Besides you are taking Clark with you."

"Fine, but I am not talking to Nell."

"What am I dressing my son up as?" Martha asked changing the subject.

"A Wuzzle. Rhinokey to more specific. It's a Disney show, I brought a tape down so you can have a Muppet break."

"What are you going as? Not a Wuzzle I hope." She teased liking how cute Clark looked in his costume.

"Nope not a Wuzzle, the boys and I came up with a different theme." Kayla said stepping out of the bathroom and into the room. Her now waist length hair cascaded in a silky sheen down her back. Around her head was thin yellow band with a head of a cobra. She was wearing a lose fitting white gown with gold thread tracing patterns up the sides, a huge scarab pendent on her neck and sandals on her feet.

"You look so beautiful," Martha told her as Kayla turned around in a slow circle.

"Beautiful," Clark echoed.

"Where did you get the costume?" Martha asked knowing that it did not come from some costume store.

"Mrs. Luthor came up with the idea and helped me make the costume out of one of her dresses and some of her jewelry. I am Cleopatra, Alex is Caesar and Bruce is Marc Antony."

"I can't wait to see the three of you together." Martha said as she finished getting Clark ready. "Lets go downstairs and take some pictures." She said over her shoulder leaving the room.

Taking one last look at herself Kayla followed hoping Jon would like the costume.

"Trick or treat smell my feet…" was the sound that greeted the group as they entered Smallville.

"I'll wait for you at the Beanery, just be careful." Jonathan told them as he helped Lana from the car.

Stifling a sigh Kayla took the girls hand. Looking down at the angel holding her hand she smiled slightly and gently squeezed her hand. Turning she grasped Clark's hand and the group went down the street.

At the third house a boy dressed in a football jersey greeted them. Behind him stood his mother and half empty boxes.

"Hi," Clark said stepping into the house.

"Clark, you know you aren't supposed to walk into anyone's house," Kayla said passing Lana to Bruce and steeping in after him.

"I'm Pete,"

"Hi Pete, I'm Kayla and this little bugger is my nephew Clark." Kayla said taking a firm hold of Clark's hand. "I'm sorry Mrs.."

"Ross" the mother said extending her hand.

"Mrs. Ross. Clark has a mind of his own sometimes."

"Its no problem, we were about to go out and join in the trick or treating fun."

"Come with us," Clark invited holding out his hand to Pete.

"Clark, why don't we leave our phone number here and Pete can come over another day."

"I think that would be a wonderful idea," Mrs. Ross said as both of the boys pouted at the same time.

After leaving the number Kayla was forced to pull Clark from the house. Once they were outside she turned to the boys. "Want to go back to the beanery, we can go to the haunted house next," she told them before picking up Clark who was about to make a run back to the door where Pete was standing.

"Sure but what about the kids?" Alex asked linking his arm through hers.

"Jon will take them home then come back for us."

"I believe," Bruce said breaking them apart "Marc Antony was the one who ends up with the girl." With a mock bow he took her hand and led the way down the road.

"I haven't had this much fun in years on Halloween," Alex said once they were back in the house.

They had all changed into comfortable clothes and were watching Gremlins on television.

"Kids," Jonathan interrupted coming into the room, "Martha thought you might want some cider and your candy."

"Yes, please," they said in unison before cringing at a particular scene in the movie.

Shaking his head he went back into the kitchen where Martha was on the phone with Mrs. Ross.

"Well?" he asked when she got off the phone.

"It seems that Clark has a play date tomorrow courtesy of your sister." Martha said with a laugh. "They will be here at noon. Oh and Jonathan," she said to his back as he returned to the living room, "I still plan on driving the kids back to the city tomorrow."

I do not own the Muppets Wuzzles Smallville or Batman. The scene with Gilda was on the Muppets show and was very funny.
