They were on the road at 6:00 on the dot, Lana sat upfront with Lex again. Chloe, Clark and Pete in the back. Lana looked over, Pete and Chloe were asleep He was up against the door and she was in his arms her feet on Clark's lap, Clark was reading a magazine. Lana looked over at Lex.

"You all right?" She asked him.

He nodded "I'm fine"

"You look like you have a lot on your mind"

"I'm fine"

Lana sat back in the seat.

"Going to Malibu is going to be great you know, Nobody will know I am a Luthor, I won't be judged by people who don't even know me"

"That is always a plus" Clark said, joining in on the conversation.

"I'm serious I could be a rich guy or a bum off the street, no one will ever know"

"I don't think a bum would wear Prada" Lana teased.

"I can dress like you guys if I wanted too"

"We bet you could, Lex" Clark teased.

" I 'll buy some new clothes when we get there, I'll blend right in"

Lana and Clark shared a worried look. Lex turned on the radio to the station that they liked. They stopped at Bennegan's at 12. Clark shook Chloe and Pete.

"Get up guys, we are at the restaurant"

They all got out and stretched. They all got into one booth.

"So how do you like being normal so far, Lex?" Clark asked him

"Normal?" Lex asked

"Not an uptight rich guy" Pete told him.

Chloe elbowed him and told him to be nice or shut up.

"It's good, we are still staying at a pricey hotel"

Clark shrugged "It's your money"

They were back on the road, Chloe sat shotgun with Lex this time, Pete was not that happy about that.

"Hows the Torch going?" Lex said making conversation.

"Good, We manage and um, how is your business going?"

"Good" Lex said.

Lana was sleeping up against Clark and he was reading his magazine over her. Pete had his CD player on.

"Is she making it hard for you to read?" Chloe joked, looking over at Clark

Clark looked up and smiled.

"No, I can read fine"

Chloe turned back to Lex.

"What's up?"

"Nothing much"

"You miss her don't you?"

"I came here to get away from her and everything else in Smallville so I'd rather not answer that question"

Chloe apologized. Clark yawned and gave his magazine to Pete.

"Take this" He said while handing it to him "It has a good article about 50 cent"

Pete took it and Clark leaned up against the car and wrapped his arms around Lana and closed his eyes.

"So where are we staying tonight?" Chloe asked Lex

"I bought two suits at The Hilton"

"Cool, one plus of traveling with a Luthor is the pricey hotels"
