A/N- Ok, remember that this is taking place as Chloe and Lex are on their way to Lex's.

*~~~~~*****~~~~~*

Clark walked through the Talon looking for Pete through the crowd of people.

"Hey Clark," Pete yelled as he waved to get his friend's attention. "Over here!"

"Hey Pete. Thanks for meeting me here. I needed to ask you a favour."

"Sure anything Clark. What is it?" Pete put his hand on Clark's shoulder. He could see the desperation in his friend's eyes and knew that something big must be getting to him.

Clark ordered a coffee and started to tell Pete everything that has happened for the past week.

"Clark, are you sure? I always thought Chloe and Lex hated each other. Clark, I don't get anything you are saying. Maybe they are just playing a game with you." Pete drank the last bit of his coffee and got up from the table. "Listen, I can talk to Chloe, but if I find out that this is a game, I'm sorry but I am going to have to play along… this is too funny to be true!"

Clark opened the door for Pete and stood on the sidewalk outside the Talon. Just as Pete was about to get into his car, he saw Lex come zooming through the town and screeching to a halt at the red light. However, it was who was in the car, which made Pete do a double take. Chloe was sitting there next to Lex laughing and having her hand on his shoulder as he skid to start his car.

"Ok Clark, I believe now. How could Chloe do this? She always seemed to have a clear idea of what Luthor was like. What could have changed her mind?"

Clark opened the passenger door to Pete's car and slammed it shut when he realized where Lex and Chloe were heading.

"I don't know Pete, but we need to have a plan to get her away from Lex."

"How though? He is a Luthor. If we hurt her, he will kill us. If we try to hurt him, he will kill us. Maybe we should leave it be." Pete couldn't believe the words out of his mouth. He always hated Lex and the thought that Clark was his best friend. Now he lost his other best friend to him.

"Listen Pete, we need to do something. I have a plan. Drive to my house and I will tell you how we will get Chloe back and away from him."

Pete drove off in the direction of Clark's house. It was weird for him to hear Clark talk about Lex like this when all last year he was praising Lex. However, Pete had to admit, he did like the thought of Clark finally coming to his senses and seeing who Lex really was… a Luthor.

*~~~~~*****~~~~~*

Chloe turned around in bed and opened her eyes to see Lex standing up, putting his pants on.

"What are you doing?" Chloe asked as she sat up in bed.

Lex spun around and looked at Chloe. "I was going to go downstairs and ask the cook to prepare something for us."

"And you need your pants on to do that?" Chloe was starting to get a little worried. She felt that something was up but couldn't actually put her finger on it.

"I also needed to do some work and I thought that since you were asleep, you could wake up with food being served to you and by that time, I would have my work done." Lex walked over to Chloe and kissed her on her forehead. "I just have to make a quick call, I will be back by the time your food is ready." With that, Lex walked out of the room.

Chloe sat there in the gigantic bed and looked around. 'What can I do?' She asked herself as she flopped back into the pillows. 'Shower'.

As Chloe was having her shower, Lex walked into his office and closed the door making sure no one would hear his conversation. He picked up his phone and dialed. "Lou, its Luthor. Yes the son. I need to know what you got on Kent when you followed him." Lex grabbed a piece of paper and started to jot down everything Lou was telling him.

"Well, he went to the Talon and met a friend I take it, a black kid. Then I saw you drive by. I think they saw you too cause they both looked mad and then drove off in a hurry."

"Thanks. Keep following him. I will call back later." Lex hung up the phone and sat back in his chair. "So… you want to play games Clark?" Lex said to himself. "I know you are planning something with Pete, the question is what though?"

"Lex! Lex!"

Lex got up from his seat and opened the door to find Chloe walking in the hallway looking for which room he was in. He took pleasure in seeing her look for him so he just stood in the doorway watching her go from room to room searching.

"Lex! There you are." Chloe exclaimed as she ran and kissed him. "I had a shower and the food wasn't brought up yet so I thought I would come down to see if you were done so we could go back to your room and eat."

Lex liked the smirk that appeared on Chloe's face and couldn't resist that plan. He picked Chloe up in one swift motion and carried her to the kitchen to see if the food was ready yet. When they finally got to the kitchen, Lex's mouth almost dropped open, but luckily, he caught it before he did.

"Clark… what are you doing in my kitchen? And why did you bring Pete?" Lex was getting mad. First Clark had the nerve to show up in his house without his permission. Then he brought his friend that hates him with a passion.

"Lex, my mom asked me to bring you some produce and I was Pete at the time so I thought why not bring him along?"

"Clark please leave my house now. If you wish to speak with Chloe you can do it later." 'Correction, make that never.' Lex said in his head. At that though, Lex started to put Chloe down and walked towards Pete who was scared, but trying to look tough.

"I'm sorry Lex. We should have asked if this was a good time before we came over." Clark said, as he looked Chloe up and down, who was only wearing a robe.

"Understand of the century Clark."

"We'll be leaving Mr. Luthor, don't get your panties on a bunch." Pete smiled as he started to walk towards the door.

"Next time you set foot on my property Pete… I will be making sure that you are arrested and that the bale is too high for parent's to get you out." With that Lex picked Chloe up again and walked towards the hallway. "Make sure they leave right away. If they come back notify my at once." Lex said to his maid.

Pete and Clark walked back to Clark's truck and smiled. The beginning part of their plan was set, they both knew that the next step would be harder.
