Setting- season 2

1989

The day the meteors hit Smallville, was a day that changed the lives of Jonathon and Martha Kent. As well as that of their year old daughter, Kristen Marie. The Kent's had been driving home from town when something shot into the road out of nowhere. Jonathon swerved and the truck was sent flying into a nearby field. Jonathon turned his head toward his wife and daughter. "Are you two alright?" he asked

"I think so." Replied Martha. Just then Jonathon turned his head once more only to see a naked child about the age of three.

"Martha?" Then by some strange fate the toddler flipped the truck over to its proper position. Leaving the family inside baffled. Martha tightly clenched Kristen in one hand and the child in the other who was now wrapped in a blue blanket. "Honey, we can't keep him. What are we going to tell people we found him in a field."

"We didn't find him Jonathon he found us." Replied Martha as she looked down at what seemed to be a spacecraft.

"Whoa Kristen, slow down. How would you like it if you were in the cows position?" questioned Jonathon as he studied his daughter's cow milking technique.

"Sorry, its just Clark promised me that if I finished my chores before dark he would let me pitch to him. I can't wait for tryouts tomorrow!" exclaimed Kristen. She loved softball it was her life. "Yes! That was my last one. Have you seen Clark?"

"I think he's in the fortress of solitude." Replied Jonathon as he watched the teen run off.

"Clark! I'm done come on grab your mitt!" yelled Kristen as she ran up the steps, breathing heavily.

"Okay, I'm coming. Jeez, how far did you run, from the back pasture?" She nodded and he followed her out of the loft. Clark and Kristen took their places in the field and she threw her fist pitch.

"If I could feel that, it would have definitely stung my hand." Kristen laughed as she threw a few more. After a half and hour or so of pitching, Clark suggested she work on her batting. "I'll go easy on you." Said Clark jokingly

"Don't!" demanded Kristen as she took her stance. Clark wound up and threw a perfect strike. Kristen swung the bat, sending the ball to no mans land, a definite homerun.

"Nice hit!" replied Clark

"Oh…yeah" agreed Kristen now she was really out of breath. "Can…can we go inside I'm really tired."

"Umm… yeah you okay? You look a little pale."

"Fine just tired." She paused "Do you think I could have one of those world famous Clark Kent piggy back rides? Please!" Begged Kristen. Clark nodded and she ran and jumped on his back.

" Oh my gosh! I don't even get to school this early to work at the Torch on a Saturday." Said Chloe Sullivan as she and Pete Ross climbed the bleachers and sat next to Clark.

"I'm guessing you're here to support Kristen." Said Clark

"Definitely and all the girls running around getting sweaty." Replied Pete happily.

"Pete you do know my sister's down their right?"

"Though Kristen is pretty hott, I got my sights set on Tammie Winchester." Clark and Chloe looked at each other, both being freaked out.

"Okay, Pete shut your trap! Try-outs are starting." Snapped Chloe.

After and hour and a half of try outs the coach finally chose his players "…and last but not least Kristen Kent. All girls who made it practice in ten minutes we got a game tomorrow. Everyone else better luck next year."

"I did it!" screamed Kristen as she ran up toward her brother and friends.

"Congratulations you deserve it." Said Clark

"So what are you guys up to?" asked Kristen

"We were hoping you could join us at the Talon, we were planning a meeting Lana." Explained Chloe. "But why would you have practice right after try outs?"

"Because they didn't have a coach try outs should have been a month ago. Anyways, you go without me." She went to turn back to the field. "Oh and Clark pick me up at six don't forget this time." She yelled as she walked down the bleachers.

"So more coffee anyone?" asked Lana as she grabbed her mug.

"None for me." Replied Chloe "I'm all latted out. I cannot believe I just said that." She starred at the clock above the counter "Wow it's 7:30 already."

"7:30! I forgot about Kristen." Exclaimed Clark

"Clark chill I'll drive you, how are you going to get there run?" asked Pete. Just then the phone rang Lana picked it up.

"Yeah he's here…okay…oh my…ok …I will." Lana hung the phone. "Clark that was your mom It's Kristen I guess she fainted, she's at the hospital now." Clark stood still for a moment before running out he door.

"So much for that ride" said Pete

"Mom, dad! What's going on what happened?" demanded Clark as he found his parents. His dad had his arms wrapped around his mother who was crying.

"Clark you better sit down." Said Jonathon "Son, your sister…she has…she has cancer, leukemia exactly."

Clark's face was blank. "Is…is she going to be alright?"

"They won't know for sure until hey get the test results back, but most likely she'll need a bone marrow transplant." Exclaimed Martha as she wiped her eyes and hugged her son.
