Disclaimer: Smallville. no. mine. and never has been mine. get that throuh your thick skulls!...ok...now on with the story!

Chapter twelve: How could you!

" Clark! Tell me again why it took you, of all people a week to come looking for us?"

An angry and bruised Lex asked as he sat on the edge of the examining table in the Smallville general hospital.

"Um, I got distracted?"

"Ha! That's rich!"

"Well what can I say? I help Lana out, then my parents and the farm…what!"

Lex and Chloe shared a look before they both started laughing. Leaving Clark confused.

"Ok, guess I should have looked for you two a bit sooner."

"No Clark, we loved being trapped in a storm cellar for over 5 days!"

"It was, interesting."

Clark shook his head.

"Well, then I guess I'll give you two fair warning when the next twisters are headed toward Smallville. That way you can both be miles away from each other when they hit.

Chloe thought about it while Lex smirked.

"Great idea."

"Yeah Clark. You do that."

With that, they both left, leaving Clark behind shaking his head.

Pausing outside of the door, Lex looked at Chloe for a second.

"You had better never ever bring up what happened."

"Deal, on one condition. Never ever say 'spoons' again. Ever."

Lex chuckled and stuck out his hand like it was a business deal.

"Deal Miss Sullivan."

Chloe glared at him as she took his hand.

"I told you…"

"Never ever call you that. I know."

Chloe grinned.

"Bye Lex."

"See ya around coffee crazed and insane blonde reporter lady."

Chloe's eyes widened in anger as she glared daggers.

"Why you son of a!"

"Chloe!"

" Clark!"

"Lana!"

"Uh, hey guys…So, uh, where have you been?"

Clark groaned. This was going to be a longggg day.

The end.

Or is it? Muwhahaha!
