LATER THAT DAY

Dinner was very uneventful that night. Clark and Lois just stayed quiet trying not to make eye contact with each other or Martha, who seemed to be grinning from ear to ear. Jonathan had no idea what was going but new Martha did and figured he would ask her later. Martha looked at Jonathan, and noticing his confused expression and just mouthed 'I'll explain later.'

Clark had just finished his dinner when there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it." Clark said as he went to get the door.

Clark opened the door and was surprised to see Lana standing there.

"Hi Lana."

"Hi Clark, are you busy right now?" Lana asked.

"No, I was just finishing up dinner, would you like to come in?" Clark asked, motioning to the side to let her come in.

"Sure thanks." Lana walked in and over to the table. "Hi Mr. Kent, Hi Mrs. Kent."

"Hi Lana." Both parents said in unison.

"Oh, hi Lois." Lana said unimpressed with Lois' presence there.

"Hi Lana." Lois said equally unimpressed.

Lana turned away from Lois and looked at Clark, "So So there are going to be some local bands playing at the City Park in metropolis Friday, well tomorrow, and I was kind of wondering if you wanted to go?" Lana just looked at Clark with a big hopeful expression.

What! He can't go out with her! Wait why do I care? That's right I don't care! I'm not jealous! I can't be, I don't even like him! Lois started mentally fighting with herself. It's kind of fitting anyways...the Pink Princess and the Plaid King. I really don't care. Yeah and maybe if I say it enough, I'll believe it. Lois thought sadly.

"Umm sure Lana. I'd love to go." Clark said faking enthusiasm earning him a smile from Lana. Why am I not looking forward to this? I mean I want to go, right? This is the love of my life asking me to go! Clark thought. Maybe she isn't anymore. Clark realized. But it's definately not Lois, I don't even like her. Right, Keep tellin yourself that Kent!

"Great! K, well that was all I came over here for so I guess I'll be going." Lana said.

She came all the way over here for that! Has she never heard of a phone? Lois thought.

"Well bye Mrs. Kent, Mr. Kent!" and as if she was only an after thought, "Bye Lois."

"Bye." Jonathan and Martha told her while Lois added a lot of enthusiasm to her good-bye.

And Clark being the gentleman that he was just added, "I'll walk you to your car."

And with that Clark and Lana were gone. Lois just walked up to the sink to wash her dish off and couldn't help but look outside right to where Clark and Lana were standing. I'm not spying, just being curious.

Outside with Lana and Clark

"Clark I'm really glad you agreed to come with me."

"Sure, Lana. Thanks for inviting me by the way."

"Yeah. Well I got to go. Goodnight." And with that she leaned up and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Goodnight." And with that Lana got in her car and drove off.

Back inside

Bitch Was all that ran through Lois' mind.

Inside Lana's Car

Lana was on her cell phone.

"Yeah Chloe. Everything went according to plan. Are you sure Mrs. Kent wanted us to do all this." Lana questioned.

"Yeah she was positive of it. When I asked her why all she could say was because a picture is worth a thousand words! Whatever that means!" Chloe responded.

"K. Well I guess I'll see ya tomorrow. Bye"

"Bye"
