ON WITH THE STORY!
Walking out of class, Clark almost ran into the student ahead of him. How could he make this right? One thing he knew, he had to talk to his parents.
At home, the Kents were very concerned about Clark.
Martha took Clark's hand and said, "Clark, why did you tell your two friends the truth?"
Clark explained about the space ship heating up. He told about his mother, "his biological mother," he stressed to Martha. After he had explained about his wish, his parents both looked sympathetic.
Martha gently spoke. "Clark, although the wish might have seemed good at the time, it can only lead to heartbreak. Your friends may be the best friends someone can have, but they aren't ready for this."
Jonathan nodded his head in agreement with Martha. "Your mother's right. Right now I would try to talk to them. But Chloe FIRST. She needs to know she is important in your life as well as Lana."
As Clark left for Chloe's, he heard his mom start crying. He stopped and listened. "Jonathan, the doctors said we couldn't have a baby! What if this baby is not supposed to come into this world?"
Jonathan raised his hand to his wife's face. "Martha, this baby is not an 'accident'. It's a miracle, and we will always treat it that way."
Martha raised her tear-streaked face and smiled. "Maybe Clark's wish worked out for the better after all."
Clark smiled and continued on his journey to Chloe's.
*A/N: I'm not sure what Chloe's dad's name is, so his name today is Richard Sullivan. Sorry, review and correct me if you know his real name.*
~~Briiiiinnnnnnngg!~~
Mr. Sullivan looked out to see Clark standing on his porch.
"Hi, Mr. Sullivan. Is Chloe around?"
"Please son, call me Richard. Chloe is in her room. Lana and Chloe are in there talking."
Clark thought, "Great. I didn't want to face them both at the same time."
As he walked to Chloe's room, he repeated a mantra to himself over and over. "They won't remember anything tomorrow. They won't remember anything tomorrow."
But a small, nagging voice inside his head whispered, "But I will," after each sentence.
He knocked on Chloe's closed door twice, then opened it. Both girls looked up.
Chloe was the one to speak first. "Clark." She said it flatly.
Lana was trying to be expressionless, but her eyes gave her away. They were full of sadness and despair.
Clark clasped his hands together and said, "Ok, nobody talk. First I wanted to talk to Chloe."
Turning towards Chloe, he continued. "Chloe, you wanted the truth. I'm sorry if it hurts, but for right now, Lana is the one I see myself with."
After she started to look away, he gently grabbed her arm and turned her around again.
"However, you are one of my very best friends. I know I probably HAVE been putting Lana on a higher pedestal, but I promise to work on it."
Clark also said, "Chloe, I came to your house first hoping to talk to YOU first. I was hoping to make you realize how important you are to me."
Chloe had been silent for a very long time. "Clark, I don't like it and I don't have to like it. Right now, I guess I can be just Chloe, the friend." She put on a brave smile.
Realizing that he had pacified Chloe, at least for the moment, he turned to Lana. Lana would be an entirely different story.
"Lana, I can't reassure you more about my powers. . ." Lana interrupted him by saying, "Clark, I've thought about this all day. I've cried and then thought some more."
She looked over at Chloe. Chloe gave her a reassuring nod and Lana continued. "I now know that you would NEVER try to hurt me, at least not intentionally. You love me."
She finished by saying, "So, if you are still brave enough, I believe we can give this relationship thing a try."
Clark was overwhelmed at Lana's understanding. She still loved him. Life seemed to be looking up for him, and Clark was grateful. He wouldn't mind a little sunshine now and then.
Clark whooped and Lana and Chloe laughed. He grabbed Lana's face between his hands and soundly kissed her. After the kiss ended, he looked sheepishly at Chloe. She hid her eyes but continued smiling. Clark finally felt right in the world.
Suddenly, his happiness came to a halt. None of them would remember ANY of this tomorrow, except for him.
