Opening her eyes, Dana suddenly pulled away taking a quick breath in. Clark opened his eyes, not feeling her against him anymore. Dana closed her eyes again, panicked and breathing heavily.

"What's wrong?" Clark lowered his head to look at her face. Holding her breath, she shook her head.

"You didn't, you didn't see that?" She opened her eyes and looked up into his concerned, green eyes.

"See what?" He wondered what she could have seen to make her react like that. She lowered her head again, playing with the hay in her hands.

"What did you see?" He brushed the hair off of her face.

"No!" She jumped up, stepping away from him.

"Dana?" He stood up, holding out his hands and shaking his head, confused at what was going on.

"Hey guys!" Dana and Clark both turned to Pete who had just walked in. He looked at the two, wondering what had just happened. Clark stuck his hands in his pockets.

"Hey Pete," Dana wrapped her arms around herself protectively.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," he looked oddly at the two.

"No, no I was just leaving." Dana smiled uncomfortably as she started towards Pete and the barn door.

"Dana?" Clark tried.

"Bye Clark," she brushed past Pete, not looking back, "bye Pete." They both watched as she jogged out the door. Clark walked up to the door, watching her run away. As she reached the fence, she blazed off at super speed, leaving a trail of dust and dirt behind her.

Pete turned to look out at Dana, only to find that she was already out of sight.

"What's going on, what was that?" Pete turned back to Clark who was making his way back over to the hay to sit down.

"I don't know, Pete, one minute everything was fine, and the next, she scared out of her mind." Pete sat down beside his friend.

"Scared of you?"

"I don't know, she wouldn't tell me." Pete looked down at the ground trying to contemplate what was going on.

"Wait a minute, I'm confused. What happened?"

"I was right Pete, she is like me, she has the same gifts I do, and when we touch," he looked over at his friend, then back down at the ground, "she makes me see things, my past, my future, my life." Pete looked up at this. "Pete, I think Dana and I are connected somehow, I feel like we're meant to be together, like I've known her all of my life," he tried to explain.

"That's pretty serious stuff Clark," Pete shook his head.

"Clark?" Clark's parents stepped hurriedly through the barn doors.

"We just saw Dana leave; we wanted to know if anything was wrong?" Jonathan nodded, greeting Pete.

"What happened honey?" Martha walked over and placed a concerned hand on her son's shoulder.

"You were right mom," he looked over at Pete, then up at his parents, "you were right.
