*~*~*

Lana made her way back to her room smiling in rememberance of Clark's goofy looking expression as she spoke to him.

'Poor Clark...he's so nice and sweet and no one even notices it,' Lana thought reflectively. 'He just blends in with the crowd.'

Caught in her thoughts of Clark, Lana turned the corner of the hallway and nearly collided with some one lurking in the shadows.

"Oh! I'm sorry."

Lana looked up to see the darkened face of Jason.

"You're Lana Lang, right?" he wondered curiously.

"Yeah, yeah and you're Jason."

"Right," Jason confirmed smiling. "You're probably wondering what I'm doing by myself in the hallway at this hour."

"Um, not really. But now that you mention it, it does seem a little weird," Lana admited honestly.

Jason and smiled and then said, "Well, I was kind of escaping the fight that seems to have formed in my room."

"Fight?" Then Lana remembered. "Oh, you mean Chloe and Pete? They're not hurting each other are they?"

"Not so far. Lance walked in and kind of calmed them down a little. I'm more of a pacifist so I left before I saw anything else," Jason exclaimed truthfully.

"The world needs more people like you," Lana stated smiling.

Jason laughed. "I really don't think so. I'm not usually what I appear to be."

Lana stared at him for a while. Slowly, this guy was starting to sound alot like...Clark.

"Um, well, I have to get to bed now." Lana started for his her room.

"Lana?"

"Yeah?"

"Well...I...I just...it was nice to 'officially' meet you," he replied nicely. "Hopefully we'll see more of each other."

"I'm sure we'll bump into each other every once and a while," Lana admited as she walked through the threshold to her room.

'Well, he's a friendly guy. But of course Clark is much cuter,' Lana told herself as she shut the door smiling at her thoughts.

*~*~*

'Wow, what the heck just happened,' Clark asked himself shocked. 'Did Lana just kiss me? Well, I guess not...I mean she's kissed me on the cheek before but...gosh, why can't I stop smiling?!"

Clark hastily picked up all his things to head up the stairs with a large grin plastered on his happy face.

"I might've guessed you'd be on this trip, Clark."

Clark jumped to see Lex standing in the lounge doorway.

"Lex! What're you doing here?" he asked with plenty of curiosity.

"To tell you truth, I'm not really sure," Lex admited taking a seat in the chair that had previously held Lana's delicate form.

"I don't think I understand," Clark retorted furrowing his brow.

"I recieved an e-mail from 'two concerned citizens' in Eerie, Indiana. It's about a private matter between my father and the work he did here a few years back. I've been trying to find out about it since I heard the remarkable legend," Lex explained seriously.

"Must've been a pretty convincing legend to have to come all the way out here," Clark wondered aloud.

"Well, not many people were aware of what happened. Whoever e-mailed me has to know something about it," Lex then began to change the subject. "So, what was with the goofy smile?"

"Uh?"

"When I walked in here you looked like you one the lottery."

"Oh," Clark said realizing and beginning to move towards the door as if to weasel out of the conversation. "It's nothing."

"It's Lana isn't it?" Lex stated stopping Clark in his footsteps. "You finally made a move on her?"

"No...well, I'm not sure..."

"Well, what happened? Maybe I can help," Lex offered getting comfortable in his chair and giving Clark an intrigued look.

"Uh, okay," Clark started reluctantly. "I...I told myself at the beginning of this trip that I'd make a move on her, and i tried - a few times - but we kept getting interupted."

"You haven't given up have you?"

"Well, sorta. It just didn't work. But earlier today she said what I did was diffrent...and cute...and tonight she kind of...kissed me," Clark blurted out glad to have some one to share the memorable moment with.

"Kind of kissed?"

"It was on the cheek," Clark explained acting like it wasn't a big deal. Inside he was beaming.

"Oh, and that's what you were so excited about when I came in," Lex concluded smiling. "Lana's right: what you did was diffrent."

"But I don't know if it worked."

Lex stood up and put a firm arm on Clark's strong shoulder much like Jonathan did when he had some good advice to tell his son. "Clark, attempting to make a move on her at least showed her you're interested. Her kiss obviously meant she's interested too. Now all you have to do is seal the deal."

Clark smirked. "Easier said then done, Lex."

"Why's that?"

"Because I'm not like that. My move-making attempts proved it," Clark claimed backing away from Lex hopelessly.

"What? You're too shy?"

"I - " Clark was about to deny what his friend had just said, but then realized that it was exactly true. "I don't know...I guess..."

"Trust me, Clark. Love means taking risks. If you like her that much nothing should stop you from getting to her," Lex confirmed convincingly.

Clark was about to thank Lex for his advice when her heard a scream.

"Ahhhhh!!! Make it stop!!!! SSTTOPPP!!!"

Lex and Clark exchanged looks.

Lex began, "Sounds like - "

"Chloe," Clark uttered before he shot off towards the stairs determined to save his friend.
