Chapter Four- The Wait
"Chloe, they're not going to show." Clark was sitting with Chloe on the couch at the Talon waiting for Drew, Brian, and Alex. They had been talking for half an hour now and still the triplets hadn't arrived.
"They could be lost."
"Chloe, this is Smallville. There is literally three roads in the whole entire town."
"Well, they could have passed it."
"How many times can you pass the Talon in half an hour and not notice it? There is a giant snowman out front, billowing in the wind, holding a sign that reads "Welcome To The Talon." That's pretty hard to miss.
"That is a pretty silly snowman." Chloe said, giggling like a child.
"It's a huge purple snowman." Clark said, smiling like he always did.
"What's so funny?" Clark turned around at the sound of the sweat voice. Chloe abruptly stopped laughing and put her head down. Clark, still smiling looked up at her.
"Lana! Nothing, just ourselves."
"May I join you?"
"Aren't you working?"
"Clark, looked around. There is no one here but you two."
Just then Drew came bursting in the door.
"Thank good you guys waited. I'm so sorry we're late. We just got lost." Chloe looked up and Clark smiling.
"Of course." Clark said, smiling as well. Lana began to feel left out.
Drew walked in towards the group huddled around the table.
"Drew, this is…"
"Please, save the instructions until my sibling grace us with their presence, hopefully sometime today."
"We're right here bro." Brian said, coming up from behind with Alex on his side. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"No, no problem."
"Then please continue."
"Um… okay. Drew, Brian, Alexandria. This is Lana Lane and Clark Kent."
"Do you all have first names and last names start with the same letter?"
"I'm Chloe, Chloe Sullivan." Chloe said, not bothering to mention that Kent started with a K. (a/n- Hellbound03... that was for you :)
"What a refreshing change. Ah… Clark Kent. Smallville's hero." Drew joked as Clark stood up to greet him. They shook hands briefly.
"Nice to meet you." Clark said.
"Likewise. We've heard a lot about you."
"It's only your first day, just wait." The three newcomers laughed, glad to feel at home in this new place.
"So this is the Smallville Hangout? Looks… great."
"Thanks. I don't know why it's so empty right now. I don't want you to think I keep it like this all the time."
"Wait… you own this place?" Brian said, looking around in newfound amazement.
"I try." Lana said, blushing.
"Wow, it really does look great." Brian said, suddenly astonished.
"Would you like something to drink? First-timers are on the house."
"Really? Well, thank you very much."
Alex couldn't help but shake her head. Brian had never been good at flirting, and "very much" just about summed it up for him.
"Café Latte?"
"Sounds good, thanks." Lana nodded and walked to the counter, turning her back on the strangers.
Drew looked around at Chloe and Clark, not sitting very near to each other.
"Well…" he started. "Shall we get this interview started?"
Interview already written, just waiting for some reviews. Please please tell me what you think. BTW: Footiefan- I was wondering if i could have your permission to add your story onto my C2 archive. Please let me know. I'd also like to name a character after you... and you too Hellbound. Difference is Footiefan's character will be good, and Hellbound03 won't be so good. Well... that's all i'll say for now. I know that footiefan will review... and i'm pretty sure that Hellbound03 will... so anyone else out there please let me know.
