They took Lana back to the cabin. Lana, who was still pretty out of it and wet and not to mention very cold.

"It is freezing in here!" she complained and they turned on the heat for her.

"What should we do?" Chloe asked "I still say we should take her to the hospital.. I mean, she did fall through the ice"

"No, really. I'm fine" Lana protested, then fainted

Clark caught her in his arms.

"Lana?" He repeated "Lana?"

He shook her and she woke up.

"What?" She asked looking around

"What should we do with her?" Pete asked

"Chloe" Clark said "Take her and get her into her pajamas. Help her dry her hair."

"OK" Chloe nodded and lead Lana into the girl's room.

After about 5 minutes, Chloe returned.

"Hey, how is she?" Pete asked her

Chloe shrugged "A little out of it but she keeps insisting she is fine. Do you have anything you can give her or something? Something warm, she keeps complaining about being cold"

"They have those extra blankets in the closet."

"Perfect. Be right back"

Chloe got up and walked over to the closet. She brought out about three heavy blankets. Lana walked out, looking horrible. Her eyes and her nose were a swollen red and it was obvious that she had been rubbing them way too much. Chloe helped her walk over to the couch.

"Thanks" Lana said to Chloe as she sat down "I'm a little out of it right now"

"I've noticed" Chloe joked and Lana smiled

"You look really bad," Clark said to Lana

"Oh that's nice" she glared at him, her voice hardly recognizable because it was so warped

"We should have Mrs. Lauren come look at you" Clark said concerned

"No, I'm not sick" Even though it was pretty obvious, just by looking at her, that she was

"Could have fooled me," Pete said sarcastically and Lana hit him with one of her pillows

"I surrender!" He laughed and she put it down

"Come on, Don't bother her. I just need to rest"

"Lana, you feel through ice, in minus 100 degrees weather. That is bad," Chloe said, drawing out each word as if she was talking to a 2-year-old.

Lana rolled her eyes "I'm fine," adding a 'd' to the word

"When you add a 'd' to the word fine, you're not fine"

"You got that from 'Friends'!" Lana laughed, although she was obviously annoyed at Pete's comment.

"You sound exactly like Monica in that episode" he joked to her

"I'll call the nurse" Chloe said, getting up

"Oh come on, no"

"Lana, you sound like Aaron Carter" Clark joked "The way he sings is the way you sound"

Lana laid back in the couch, obviously defeated.

"Fine, call the nurse" Lana said, sounding meaner than she wanted to "She'll only tell me what I already know"

"It's just to make sure you don't have hypothermia or something"

Lana laughed, snorting by mistake which she stopped herself when she did "I wasn't under water for that long, It's just a cold, I'll be fine"

"Just to make sure" Clark smiled.

Lana sighed "Fine"

Even though Lana begged them not to, Mrs. Lauren, the school nurse look at her, after begging her not to sue the school. She put a thermometer in her mouth and took it out. Mrs. Lauren said to Lana

" 99, Well it is a little high but that's great for someone who just feel through the ice, which we are still very, very sorry for! You are going to be fine; you could have gotten something much worse, like pneumonia or something. You'll have to stay out of the activities for the rest of the day and tomorrow"

Lana, who was lying on the couch wrapped up in a blanket, smiled and nodded. Secretly glad that she didn't have to do the scavenger hunts and hikes, which were brutal.

"I'll be back with tissues for you"

Mrs. Lauren left and Chloe got up

"You want some hot chocolate?"

Lana smiled "No, that's OK, I'm just going to sleep now. I'm very mean when I'm sick and I don't want to snap at you any more than I have"

Lana wrapped the blanket over her head and laid back down.

"Hey" Chloe looked at her watch "We have a hike in about 2 hours. Someone should stay with Lana and watch her. Clark, how about you?"

Clark nodded "Yeah sure"

A few hours later Lana woke up from her sleep and walked over to the dinner table where her book was and started reading it. Lana sat at the dinner table drinking hot chocolate and surrounded by tissues. Chloe came up to her

"Hey me and Pete are going on another hike.. Clark's going to stay here with you"

"Go, have fun" Lana said in her congested voice

"Okay we better go" Pete said as they left "Feel better, Lana"

"Yeah, I'm working on it" she said with good humor in the voice

Chloe and Pete left, Clark came out of his room and Lana took her tissues and hot chocolate and sat down on the couch. She sighed, They were finally alone, and it was now or never. She just hoped he wasn't too grossed out by how she looked.

"Hey Clark" she smiled at him and patted the couch pad next to her "Sit down. I'm not contagious"

Clark sat down next to her and gave her a refill of her hot chocolate

"Clark Kent" she said smiling "My hero"

He laughed "What's up?"

"I wanna talk"

"About what"

"Us" She said matter-of-factly "You know we've had our ups and downs"

"Mostly ups"

"Yeah" she giggled and her face got serious "I want to be more than friends"

"Lana, you're sick"

"It's not affecting my judgment, I've wanted this before I fell in the ice. Honestly"

She put her hand on his shoulder

"You are always there for me, protecting me, and just at this very moment, taking care of me."

"Lana..."

"I know you want this too!"

"I do"

"Then what is the problem? We both want the same thing at the same time. Can we give it just a test run, just a few days to see how it goes?

"Are you sure about this?" He asked her

"Very sure" she whispered

They both smiled and then went in for a kiss. It was the romantic moment that they both had been waiting for until.

"Achoo!"

Moment ruined. But atleast they would look back on this and laugh.

"Gross" Clark mumbled wiping his cheek and trying not to laugh

"I'm so sorry" Lana laughed herself, lifting her face from her hands "I didn't just sneeze on you, did I?"

Clark instantly forgave her, maybe it was because he was so in love with her, and that she had not slimed him, just misted, so he wasn't too grossed out.

"Don't worry" Clark smiled "I don't get sick easily"

"You are never sick, you are the healthiest person I know!" she said sniffing "At the moment, I'm very jealous of that"

"Working on a farm strengthens your immune system"

"Call me the next time you are doing the farm chores"

"You won't be sick for another 2, 3 years after doing those. Or you might die from exhaustion, Everybody is different with that"

Lana laughed and had a sneezing fit; Clark could not help but laugh a little at it, although he was a little worried. Atleast this time in wasn't in his face. When she stopped, she looked up at Clark in embarrassment.

"Woah, sorry about that"

Clark patted her humerously on the back

"Maybe we should save the kissing stuff for later" Clark joked "When the sneezing to a minimum"

"I agree" Lana said, wiping her nose and laughing.

They sat there for a second, wondering what to do from here. Clark, not to let this romantic opportunity pass he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close. She giggled and wrapped her arm around his waist. They both sat in sclience watching the fire crackling obviously savoring every moment. If they could not kiss, they had to do something. So they cuddled close.. Chloe and Pete walked in and laughed when they saw them.

"Wow, Clark, you went all out in trying to make her feel better" Pete joked

Clark and Lana looked up and smiled

"So do you feel better or worse now, Lana" Chloe joked

"Actually his cologne is doing wonders for my nose"

"Thank you Lana, My mother made it, she mixed Tommy for him with cinnamon and flowers"

"Woah, Clark your mom makes cologne?" Pete asked

"She gave it to me and my dad for Easter"

" A very aromatheric smell" Lana commented

"So, Clark are you two a couple now?"

The two smiled at each other

"We are trying to figure it out"

Mr. Jonhonu walked in. Lana and Clark broke apart before he could see them.

"12:00 midnight, turn off the lights and go to your own room"

"We know the drill, Mr. Jonhonu"

He ignored Chloe's comment and turned to Lana

"How are you feeling Miss Lang?"

"Better" she smiled when Clark, who could not go without touching her in some way, put his arm around her and rubbed her back.

Mr. Jonhonu raised his eyebrow at Clark's action but let it go. "OK wakeup call at 10:00 expect for you Lana, stay in her until you feel better.. thank you for not pressing charges"

Mr. Jonhuno left.

Pete smooched Chloe on the cheek

"Goodnight Chloe"

"Goodnight Pete"

Lana looked up at Clark, he read her him

"I'd kiss you, but I'm afraid you'll sneeze on me again"

she laughed "I'll plug up my nose"

"Promise?"

"Swear" she joked

She held her nose and he kissed her

"Wow, on the very first night too" Pete joked

"Shut up" Clark joked back

Clark and Pete went into their room, Lana and Chloe went into theirs.

"I'm so glad we both have boyfriends now" Chloe smiled

Lana laughed "Seeing me like this and still wanting to be with me. That is just rare"

Chloe laughed "Even horrible looking, you still look good"

Lana smiled "That is not true"

Chloe rolled her eyes "Whatever Lana"

The girls both laughed.

"Well, we should get to bed, I need to wake up at 10 and you need to rest so you don't sound like Aaron Carter anymore"

Lana stuck her tongue out at Chloe "Why does everyone make fun of Aaron Carter?"

Chloe just laughed. Lana climbed up to her bunk and shut of the light.

" 'Night Chloe" She called down to the bottom bunk

"Goodnight Lana"
