Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters but decided to borrow them for a while.

Trinity Day: Yeah, Chloe is kinda bitter in my story and Lana will be, too. It won't be over the top but there will be jealousy a-brewing in Smallville. Hope you enjoy. Keep R&R!!!!

Clark couldn't believe how Chloe was being. Where was this coming from? He wondered to himself. I thought we worked all that stuff out. Maybe I should talk to her later. Clark said to himself.

For the rest of the ride home, the conversation was intermittent. Lois tried and even Diana tried but both to no avail. The two girls looked at each other shrugged and gave up.

They arrived at Chloe's house around 7 that night.

"Hey, so what's on the agenda tonight girls?" Lois asked her counterparts.

"I was thinking maybe the Talon then we'll see from there." Chloe answered.

Clark helped with the bags but kept quiet.

As he approached to get into the car to leave, Chloe stopped him.

"Clark, Listen I'm sorry for my comments............Really I am. Look are you coming tonight? I would really like that and I think the girls would agree on that. Right girls?" Chloe exclaimed loud enough for both Lois and Diana to hear.

"Absolutely, It wouldn't be the same without ya Smallville" Lois smiled.

"Yes Clark, please come." Diana said.

"See Kent, your fan club needs you." Chloe punched him lightly and laughed.

Clark amused nodded and said, "I wouldn't miss it for the world."

Chloe turned to walk away, "Chloe!" Clark said.

"Yeah"

"Are we ok?"

"Always!" Chloe said, turning and waving behind her.

"See you in bit Clark." Chloe said walking away.

"Bye Diana!" Clark waved and smiled.

Diana smiled and turned and started walking towards the house.

"Goodbye sweetheart! See you later" Lois air kissed Clark in an overly exuberant way obviously mocking the slight flirtation undertone between Diana and himself.

Clark glared at Lois who laughed along with the Chloe and walked away.

The girls piled into the house as Clark drove away to return Lex's car.

Clark returned Lex's car. Lex wasn't home so Clark just left and returned home to get ready for that night.

Later at the Talon

When Clark arrived the girls where already there. And so was Lana.

Clark went over to the table they were at but did not see Diana.

"Hey Smallville, glad you could make it." Lois said.

"Hey Clark." Lana said with a smile.

"Hey" Chloe said.

Clark said his hello's and quickly scanned the room to see if he could see Diana.

"Where's Diana?" Clark asked casually, trying not to sound anxious.

"She's getting something to drink." Lois said pointing in the direction where Diana stood talking to his mother who was behind the counter.

"Oh, I'm going to say hi to my mom. I'll be back."

"Sure, see ya" Lois remarked with a slab of laughter.

Lana smiling looked at Lois then at Chloe, who was again trying to play off the situation.

Clark walked away.

"What so funny?" Lana asked.

"Looks like farmboy has a little crush on my roommate." Lois replied.

"Oh," Lana said with a hint of surprise and slight undertone of jealousy. "I'm glad. Clark needs to find someone." She said looking down while fidgeting with her cup. Even though she was with Jason, she still had feelings for Clark. She always would.

Chloe looked at Lana and knew she was feeling the same thing she was. They both knew how things were with Clark. But that didn't change how they felt. They both loved him but things just don't work out when it came to Clark Kent. Chloe smiled, shook off the feeling and said, "So where do you guys want to go after this?"

Lex walked into the Talon and saw his group of friends.

"Hello ladies, don't you all look beautiful tonight. As always." Lex said his charming way.

They all smiled and turned to Lex and thanked him.

"Lois, it's nice to see you again. How's college life treating you."

"Peachy and you?"

"Can't complain, I though you were bringing your roommate or was I mistaken?"

"Oh, no she's here. She's over there small talking with Clark and his mommy" Lois said in a teasing manner.

"Really" Lex says looking over in Clark's direction. "I'll be back. Do you ladies need anything?"

"No we're good, Thanks "Chloe said grinning and watching Lex walk away.

Chloe looks at her cousin and raises her eyebrows in amusement.

"And another one bits the dust!" Lois sings bopping her head.

Lex walks over to Clark but has his eyes on the black-haired magnificence standing beside him.

Meanwhile....

"Hey Mom!"

"Clark..... hi honey! I was just talking to Diana here about you." Martha replied.

"About me....really" Clark looked at Diana with a smile.

Martha smiled at her son then at Diana who was looking at Clark with a slight grin.

"Would you like anything Clark?", Martha asked.

"No thanks mom, I'm fine" Clark said.

"So, you were asking about me, huh?" Clark said in Diana's ear.

"Maybe, does that bother you?" She asked with a touch of playfulness.

"Not at all. I just find it a little curious is all."

"Hmm.....curious huh....well good I like to keep people on their toes." She said winking at him preparing to walk away but slamming into Lex Luthor.

"Excuse me!!!...... Oh God!!! I'm so sorry." Diana said biting her lip in embarrassment due to knocking Lex over.

Clark surprised to see Lex and the fact that he was now on his ass knocked over by this girl, tried to help his friend up along with Diana.

"Lex are you okay?", Clark said trying to repress a laugh.

Lex trying to regain some dignity by being tumbled over by a woman, accepts both their hands, laughs as he stands and says, "Well that's the first time I can say a woman has truly knocked me off my feet."
