Six hours before the "closet incident" Clark Kent was just waking up.

"Rise and shine, Clark!" he said to himself, "Time to start another day!" He got dressed and went outside to do his chores around the farm. When he was finished he went inside and ate an obscenely large breakfast. After this he ran to the bus stop, feeling the wind in his hair.

When he got to school he saw Lana standing near a locker, looking very sweet, and he walked over to her with a smile. "Lana!" he said, "How's it going?" All of a sudden he got a look of deep concentration on his face and slammed into a locker, writhing about. "Oh…" he forced out, "You're…wearing your…necklace."

Just then Lex stepped out from behind something, "Think again Clark." He held up a meteor rock and Clark grimaced unconvincingly. "Yes, that's right, I'm the one with the meteor rock in my hand." After saying this he walked away, got in to his car and drove away.

"That was weird." Said Lana, "What was he talking about?"

"Oh heh heh heh…" answered Clark, obviously trying to make up a lie, "That's just a game we play…yes."

"Oh, ok." Lana skipped away. Then she walked back over, looking more serious, "Clark, there's something we need to talk about."

"Yes? I'll discuss anything with you Lana, anything."

"Ok, well, have you noticed that Lex has been acting strangely lately? I mean, he asked me out on a date and then it seemed like all he wanted was…well, you know."

"Oh you slut! I'm so jealous!"

"What!?"

"Nothing, go on."

"Ok. Do you know what could be going on?"

"No, I mean Lex has always been kind of promiscuous and I know that there are lots of girls, and maybe," Clark was crossing his fingers, "Guys in Metropolis who could back me up on that. Who knows, maybe he left those habits behind when he came to Smallville but now he's gotten homesick for his old ways."

"You could be right, you could be right."
