A/N: At first, I was going to leave it there like the original Rocky Horror script did… But we're all so aware of that final song that I thought I should do something with it as well. Enjoy!

MarkMark261: I was just proofreading this before posting it and discovered that my original intent was to put Lionel in a mental institution, but...


Chapter 20

Clark had quickly taken Pete home to his concerned parents and then jetted back to the farm. The revelations he had received that night had been amazing… Not even considering that he hadn't died from all the kryptonite exposure. Lionel was totally insane and Clark was glad that he was dead. Of course Clark knew he couldn't trust Lex anymore, and it did make him wary that Lex now knew his secret… or at the very least suspected it.

He sighed and shook his head as the Kent farm came into sight. He whizzed up to the "Fortress of Solitude" where he knew Chloe was patiently waiting. "Were there any problems with the Ross family?" Chloe looked at him, concerned for any punishment Pete might receive... considering it was partially her fault.

"They were worried that he'd been out all night, but they're okay… More relieved that he's finally home." Clark sat on his sofa next to Chloe and smiled at the perky blonde.

She sighed quietly and snuggled into his side. Clark was content to just have his arms around her and they looked out the loft window. Chloe grunted as she suddenly levered herself up to look straight into Clark's eyes. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

Clark tried to play it off, but knew he wasn't going to win that one. "Tell you what?"

Chloe smacked his shoulder and then placed a tender kiss on it, never mind that he hardly felt her blow. "That's you're an alien… That you make all the meteor freaks look weak and normal…"

Clark laughed. "Hardly that! Some of them I've had a real hard time defeating, you know."

"Yeah, yeah," Chloe sighed, snuggling back down in his embrace. "But still…"

Clark was worried about how her voice had gone all meek and quiet. He lifted her chin up so she'd look at him. "Chloe, I've been dying to tell you so many times that I can hardly count. Pete just found out by accident and he's wished he never found out so many times. It's a fear about letting the secret out and somehow hurting your best friend… And sometimes he was really angry at me for including him in on the family secret." He sighed and looked out the window. "I just didn't want to burden you."

Chloe laughed suddenly and Clark looked at her in shock. "And you were afraid I'd make it my Pulitzer prize winning article."

Clark grimaced but smiled. "It's not that I didn't trust you, Chlo… It was more that I thought it would be unfair to give you that kind of a story and you wouldn't be able to report on it."

They laughed together for awhile and then comfortable silence fell between them. They watched the sun rise, but when the music started up, they both groaned. Thankfully, neither felt the need to burst into song and relaxed as a phantom voice serenaded them.

"Television… Quite a feature… Lionel revealed but lost his discov'ry. Metropolis headed are Lex and Lois. Clark conceals again his distant planet. Whoa-ho-ho-ho! From the Wednesday night fav'rite feature TV show… I wanna' go. Oh-oh-oh-oh! Watch the Wednesday night fav'rite feature TV show."

They both giggled slightly as the ending came. Then Chloe sat on Clark's lap, straddling him so she could look him in the face. "You know you don't have anything to worry about with me, right?"

"Not even from keeping it a non-confirmed issue with Lois?" Clark couldn't help but tease.

Chloe pouted. "Do you really think I would let it out of the bag?"

Clark kissed her quickly, wiping off the pout. "Chloe, I trust you… With my life, my family, my love… What else could you want from me?"

"Oh, Clark!" she purred and threw her arms around him. As the heat between them started rising, everything started to go out of focus. Chloe's eyes widen. "Clark? Clark! Don't leave me here!"

Clark tried to answer her... to clasp her tighter in his arms, but it seemed like it was no use. She was slipping through his fingers... And then it went black for both teens.


A/N: There's only one more chapter… which is a very short epilogue! Hooray!

I will say this one thing... I'm not absolutely positive how happy I am with the mods to that last song. Plus, I don't know if Smallville shows on Wednesday night around the world. -sigh- Well, what can I do?
