Clark and Lois walked timidly into the house, only to find Jonathan glaring at the two.

"Care to explain?" Jonathan replied angrily.

''Umm . . . Mr. Kent . . . " Lois began.

"We can . . . umm . . . explain." Clark finished for her.

"Well I'm waiting." Jonathan stamped his foot.

"Jonathan, calm down!" Martha yelled at her husband but then turned to the kids and asked calmly, "What happened last night?"

"Honestly, we just went up to talk and fell asleep." Not necessarily lying but leaving out the part where Clark told her they needed to go inside but she asked him to stay out there.

Clark looked at her and silently thanked her for leaving the last part out.

"So nothing happened, right?" Martha asked.

"No, just sleep." Clark said finally finding his voice. Martha smiled, knowing that was all that happened in the loft but not all that happened last night.

"Fine." Jonathan said calming down. "But if this ever happens again, your mom will not be able to help you." Jonathan said looking over to Clark.

Clark and Lois nodded. Both knowing that eventually they would be having this same conversation.

"Oh Clark, Lois." Martha said. "Chloe told me to tell you guys to come down to the talon today."

"Did she say why?" Lois asked.

"Nope. All she said was that she had something to show you guys."

"Oh OK." Lois added and then smiled evilly at Clark "I get the shower first." And with that she ran up the stairs.

"There's go my hot shower." Was all Clark said, making both his parents smile as they went about doing whatever they needed to do.

AT THE TALON

Clark and Lois walked in talking.

"Well I thought your dad would have taken that a lot worse."

"Me too. It was like he was almost prepared for it." Clark began thinking about what that could have meant.

Clark's thoughts were broken by hearing one of the football players yelling, "Way to go Clark!" and another one high fiving him as he passed by.

"Did I miss something?" Lois asked obviously confused by what just happened. That was until a girl from school came up to her.

"Oh my god. Lois you are so lucky." She stated giddily and another girl told her,with equal enthusiasm, "You guys are so perfect for each other."

"I think we both missed something." Clark concluded. They both walked up to Lana, who was standing behind the counter.

"Hey Clark! Hey Lois!" Lana shouted at the two.

"Hey!" Clark answered cheerfully while Lois just let a low "Hello." since she was still not very fond of Lana.

Lana and Clark both noticed how Lois said hello. Clark glared at her as she looked up innocently, while Lana just smiled. She knew right now Lois really didn't like her, but once she found out everything, she hoped it would change her mind.

Clark looked back at Lana, "Hey can you tell us what's up with everybody?"

"Oh, it must be what Chloe posted up on the bulletin." Lana added with a mischevious smile. "Why don't you guys go over and check it out."

And with that Clark and Lois went over to the bulletin board. Both stopped dead in their tracks as they saw what Chloe had posted.
