The whole town of Smallville came to the funeral to pay their respects,
although most of them never really liked Lex that much. Lana and Clark
stood closely together. He had his arm around her waist and was holding her
tight. She wiped her eyes with a tissue and he hugged her again, they were
both so happy to be in each other's arms after all that had happened. Pete
walked over to them.
"Hey guys" Pete greeted them
Clark smiled "Thanks for coming Pete, I know you and Lex weren't close"
Pete nodded "I just thought I should pay my respects to the guy... You know, Lex's death has inspired me to live life to the fullest.."
He glanced over at Chloe, who was dressed in a beautiful black dress with long sleeves and black highheels. He finally decided that the time was right to tell her his feelings.
"I'm going to go over and talk to Chloe, I'll see you two later"
"Bye" the both said
They looked at him suspiciously as he walked away.
"Do you think he's going to..?" Clark asked
"I think she'll say yes" Lana answered, she looked over at Helen, who looked absolutely miserable "I'm going to go see Dr. Bryce" she told Clark "She looks like she may need a friend"
"Okay" Clark said, taking his arm off from around her waist
She kissed him "Love you"
"Love you too"
She walked over to Helen. As soon as Helen saw her, she smiled.
"Lana, hey"
"Dr. Bryce, I am so sorry," Lana said, feeling a lump in her throat
"Thanks... I miss him so much," She said, her voice cracking
Chloe looked over to see Pete walking toward her.
"Hey" she said and hugged him. He was surprised by her actions, but liked it nonetheless
He hugged her back. "How are you holding up?"
"I'm OK" she smiled "We weren't really that close"
"Yeah, I never really liked him.... But.. his death his inspired me in a way"
"Oh?" Chloe asked "In what way?"
"To live life to the fullest, Carpe Diem and crap like that"
Chloe laughed "You're scaring me, you know that?"
He smiled "Oh sorry, but look, I want to talk"
"About what?" she asked
"Us"
"Us?"
"Yeah.. I know you still haven't gotten over Clark.."
"Pete. .I told you a million times, I'm over him"
"This is going to sound crazy but I need to ask you this"
"Ask me" she smiled "I'm all about crazy"
"Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
Chloe was at a loss for words "Woah.. that is crazy"
Pete kept his cool "Is that a no?"
Chloe shook her head "No.. It's not a no"
"Is it a yes"
Chloe shook her head again; "It's not a yes"
"Then what is it then?"
"It's unexecpted, crazy, spiontantious, weird, something I never thought you would do.."
"Why don't we give it a try?"
"Woah, Pete, You can't just come over here and ask me to be your girlfriend.. We've been just friends for so long and..."
"Carpe Diem" He said "live everyday like it was you're last.. You know how yesterday you were saying that you were wondering what it would be like to have somebody? I can be that somebody!"
Chloe smiled "Are you serious, Pete? You really want me to be you're girlfriend?"
He smiled too "Yeah, I think I do"
Chloe smiled at him. He had gone crazy! It was so unlike him to just ask her this unexpectedly like this. If this was so crazy and he was just a friend.. Then why was she smiling so big?
"Can I ask you why?"
"Why what?"
"Why me?"
He laughed "You're amazing, Chloe. You don't see that. Clark doesn't see it but I do.. And for so long I have seen you hurt by him and bottled my feelings for you up... If I have learned anything from Lex's death, it was that I could be dead tommorow.. I have no idea, but even if I do die tomorrow.. I just couldn't without telling you how I feel"
Chloe was shocked at how romantic and wise Pete was acting. Carpe Diem, she thought to herself, live everyday like it was you last. Maybe I should start thinking like that. Do something daring, Sullivan, now.
He never saw it coming, without warning she grabbed him and kissed him. Not that he minded.
"Carpe Diem" she whispered "Live everyday like it was your last"
They went back to the kissing. Both of them incredibly happy by there daring actions. Clark couldn't help smiling at Pete and Chloe kissing, He was so glad that Chloe was forgetting him. He loved Chloe, as a friend of course, and wanted her to be happy above all. By the looks on both of their faces, they were. Clark looked over at Helen and Lana, who were hugging and crying.
"If you need anything" Lana sobbed to Helen "You know you can call me"
"Thank you so much" Helen sobbed, smiling "You have no idea how much that means to me"
Lana smiled "Well, I should go.. The service is starting"
"Yeah, me too.. Thank Clark for being a speaker.. I know Lex would have wanted it that way"
Lana nodded "He put together a beautiful speech, you'll love it"
Lana walked back to Clark.
"Hey, are you ready to give the speech?"
He nodded "Yeah..."
He put his arm around her and they both walked into the service. The room was decorated with tons of flowers; there was no casket but a picture of Lex. The funeral was going beautifully. When it was Clark's turn, he went up slowly.
"Hi.." He started "I was honored when Helen asked me to give a speech..Lex and I were very close and he really was a great guy.."
Clark stalled he looked over at Pete and Chloe, who had grown closer in a little less than 5 minutes. He had his arm around her and her head was on his shoulder. Live everyday like it was your last, he thought. He continued his speech.
"I had a speech prepared.. It said everything that everyone else had said, How great of a guy Lex Luthor was and how much he accomplished.. I cannot express in words how sad I am that he died.. However, we shouldn't mourn his life, we should celebrate it, It sounds corny I know.. But it's really true.. If Lex's death had taught us anything, it is that we could be dead in any moment.. We should live everyday like it was our last.. Take chances.. Not have any regrets.. Just yesterday, I was about to make the dumbest mistake of my life.. I was going to leave Smallville for God-knows- where. But my girlfriend, Lana Lang, convinced me to stay.. and I'm glad I did! Everything has turned around.. I was forgiving for all the stupid stuff I did, and this July I'm going to have another sibling" He looked over at his mother, who smiled widely and rubbed her belly "My point is that life is something we should celebrate.. Something we should embrace everyday.. Do it for Lex, Do it for yourselves..Take a chance.. Ask that guy or girl you've been liking forever out" He looked over at Chloe and Pete who both smiled "Lex died happy, he had a beautiful wife and for the first time in a long time, he was actually happy...atleast he got to be happy in his life.."
His speech was interrupted by someone clapping. Clark looked over.. It was Lex! His face was scratched up and he had many bruises but he was alive!
"Sorry to ruin the beautiful ceremony" Lex smiled "But I'm not dead!"
"Hey guys" Pete greeted them
Clark smiled "Thanks for coming Pete, I know you and Lex weren't close"
Pete nodded "I just thought I should pay my respects to the guy... You know, Lex's death has inspired me to live life to the fullest.."
He glanced over at Chloe, who was dressed in a beautiful black dress with long sleeves and black highheels. He finally decided that the time was right to tell her his feelings.
