Anna got settled in her new surroundings pretty quickly. Her aunt and uncle gave her the room across from Clark's room. After she went into her room, there was a gentle knock on the door, then Clark entered.

"Hey Anna." Anna smiled and waved. Clark sat down on the bed beside her. "So... you're my cousin."

"Yeah, guess I am. It's pretty cool. But how come I never saw you when I first came here when I was five" Anna questioned him.

"I was adopted in 1989. How old are you then"

"Oh. I'm nineteen, kinda old, I know. You the same"

"Nope. Seventeen." 'Whoa, I thought he looked was older than me.' Anna thought as she looked at him again. He had a strong upper body, quite tall and had blue-ish/green eyes.

"Seventeen, god. I thought you were... like, in your 20s or something." They both laughed a little the Anna continued. "So, what do you do for fun around here Clarkie"

"One - don't call me Clarkie, and two - there's the high school, or the Talon." Anna stood up after being told this and started walking around the room.

"Alright. Wait... why would I want to hang around a high school? I left to get away from it."

"Dunno. Well, I'll take you to the Talon then" Clark said as he stood up and walked over to Anna.

"OK then." Clark walked downstairs as Anna followed. As they were about to go out the door, Martha stopped them.

"And where are you two going" Anna turned around to face her aunt then Clark stepped out in front of her.

"I was just taking Anna to the Talon. She wanted to see what she could do for fun around these here parts." Clark told her.

"Well, before you go to the Talon, take Anna out to get more clothes because I don't think she can live on one outfit of her whole life." Martha was about to get money out of her purse when Anna spoke up.

"You don't need to buy me anything; I'll be fine wearing just this." Anna said but Martha shook her head.

"No Anna. Here's 100 dollars, go buy some new clothes." Anna finally gave in and took the money from her aunt. Then she and Clark went outside and got into the truck.

"Your mom knows how to force a person to take free money, huh" Anna said as she put the money into her jacket pocket. "So, where are we going for clothes"

"Grandville. It's the closest to Smallville, even though it's a few hours away." Clark told her.

Anna slept most of the way there since she hadn't got any sleep in days. Clark glanced over at her a few times during car ride. Once he got to the Grandville matt, Clark gently shook Anna's shoulder to wake her up. She woke up automatically and shot her arm out, which hit Clark in the stomach.

"Sorry. Defense mechanism." Clark held his gut in pain as he got out. Of course, he was faking the injury since he wasn't human but he didn't want Anna to know.

"It's OK. So, let's go and get you some clothes." Clark led Anna to the place where he usually got his clothes from since they had a woman's section as well, but Anna got sidetracked half way there. She stopped in front of a Louis Vuitton store. "You've got to be kidding, right?"

"No, I saw… like fifty of these shops in Metropolis. I love what they do!" Anna was about to go in when Clark grabbed her arm to stop her.

"Anna, a pair of pants costs around 100 dollarsin there. Come on," Clark took Anna's head and pulled her to another store. And when Anna saw what was in there shop, her mouth dropped.

"How much plaid does a store need to sell?" Anna said to herself but Clark thought she was actually asking him.

"A lot of people around here like wearing plaid." Clark told her as she went into the store and started roaming around. 'And I bet you're the biggest fan of it,' Anna thought.

"So, where are the mini's in here?" Anna asked. When Clark didn't answer, she looked over at him. He was completely confused. "Mini-skirts?"

"Dunno. My mom never buys them." Clark answered sarcastically. "Just check over there." He pointed over to the left side of the store and Anna walked over.

Over the space of two hours, Anna eventually chose what clothes she wanted to buy. She settled for 5 mini-skirts (2 denim, 2 pink and 1 black), 2 t-shirts (both with sayings on them), 2 tank tops (1 blue and 1 purple) and a pair of jeans. It totaled to just under 100 dollarsso Clark let Anna keep the change.

Before they left, Clark took Anna to the food court since he knew that they weren't going to get to the Talon. He bought her a cheeseburger and a bottle of coke. Diet Coke. Clark was going to ask her why diet but he thought it might be insulting. After getting food into them, they went back to the truck and headed back to the farm.

Once they got back, Anna changed into her new black mini skirt and a t-shirt which said – "Have you hugged my t-shirt today?". Then she went back downstairs and found her aunt reading a book whilst sitting on the sofa. But Clark and her uncle Jonathon were nowhere to be seen. Anna walked over to the couch and sat beside Martha.

"Hey Auntie Martha, whatcha reading?" Anna asked, trying to see the cover of the book.

"Oh nothing." Martha stopped reading and looked at her niece's new outfit. "Very nice outfit. Can I hug your t-shirt?" They both laughed a little.

"So, where's Uncle Jonathon and little baby Clarkie?"

"Outside talking I think. Does Clark know you call him Clarkie? Because I use to call him that, and he forced me to stop." Martha explained.

"Yeah. But he doesn't like it, as you said. Since I'm the older cousin, I'm allowed to be annoying to my little cousin. It's like, a rule." Martha laughed at the last part. Then Clark and Jonathon entered the house. Anna got up and hugged her uncle, then went over and messed up Clark's hair.

"What was that for?" Clark asked after Anna took her hand of his head.

"Nothing… Clarkie."

Sorry for the delay... school tests. Not a good combo. I promise to update as quickly as I can, but the school always keeps me down. It's evil. Thanks for the reviews so far and keep reviewing please!
