Chapter 5

A/n- Thank you all so much for the reviews! They are so encouraging. I hope you like this chapter as well.

"W-what do you think it is?" asked Clark even though he knew what the answer was.

"Clark, are you really that dense? It's a spaceship! I wonder how long it's been here? Dude, what if there was an alien inside." Gloated Pete happily.

"A spaceship. Pete don't you think that's a little out there. It is probably just some sort of high-tech crop duster or something."

"No way, man. This is definitely a spaceship. Now let's go change the tire so we can come back with your dad's truck." Explained Pete

"What wait where are you gonna take it?"

"We can put it in my tool shed Indiana Jones couldn't find it in there."

"Pete, I think we should take it back to my house. We can put it in my storm cellar it will be safer there." Suggested Clark

"No way! Your dad will flip! Besides I found it. Now help me change this tire." Clark followed Pete.

Once the tire was fixed the two were on their way. Pete dropped Clark off at the Kent Farm. "I'll er…I got some chores to do so umm…I call you after dinner so we can go get the thing." Said Clark as he exited the car.

"Alright, man this is gonna be so sweet!" exclaimed Pete

"Oh Pete maybe we shouldn't tell anyone, at least not until we find out what this thing is for sure. We don't want to be wrong and be the laughing stalk of the entire town." Pete nodded in agreement as he drove away.

"Mom! Dad! I think we have a problem." Said Clark as he entered the house.

"Why what's the matter? Is something wrong with your sister?" ask Martha with worry.

"No Kristen's fine-"

"Oh thank goodness where is she anyway?"

"She went to go watch her friends play softball a friend is giving her a ride home. Now Like I said I think we have a big problem." explained Clark "I found the ship."

"I don't see how that's a problem, son. Now tell me where it is so we can go get it." Said Jonathon

"Okay, let me rephrase this Pete and I found the ship." He said then he explained the story about the flat tire and finding the ship. "What are we going to do about this? Pete wants me to come over tonight with the truck so we can put it in his tool shed." At that moment Kristen walked in the house.

"Hey everyone. Jeez, who died?" joked Kristen when she saw the expression on her family members faces.

"Oh nothing, Kristen you have a doctors appointment in about an hour. Why don't you go get cleaned up." Suggested Martha. Kristen let out a groan and walked up to her bedroom.

"Just tell Pete that we had to take the truck to take your sister to the doctor. And tonight you can go, get the ship and bring it back here. Okay?" said Jonathon sternly. Clark nodded and went to go tell Pete that they couldn't take the truck.

At about 12:30 that night Clark got into the family pick up truck and quietly drove to the field where he had found his spaceship. Once he arrived he made sure that there was no one else in sight, when the coast was clear he hoisted the alien craft into the back of the truck and covered it with a black tarp. Then drove back home and put the ship back in the storm cellar where it belonged.

At school the next morning Clark ran into Pete at the Torch when Chloe wasn't there. "Hey, are we still on to get that thing after school? I made sure my dad doesn't need the truck." Said Clark calmly.

"Great except the ship is gone." Replied Pete solemnly

"What do you mean by gone"

"Gone as in its not there."

After school Clark and Kristen went home. Clark was outside fixing the tractor when Pete appeared. "Hey Pete what are you doing here?"

"Lana sent me on a mission. She said she's been so busy at the Talon she didn't have time to give you this. Don't get excited it's just a pie order for your mom."

"Thanks Pete. I'll give it to her when I go inside." Pete nodded and was about to head back to his car.

"Pete, I'm just about done here wanna go shoot some hoops?"

"Sure" he replied

"Okay, just give me a sec to put these tools away." Answered Clark as he began gathering up his tools.

"Clark can you go into the storm cellar and get me some peaches for dessert? Thank you." Yelled Martha unaware of Pete's presence.

"I'll get the peaches for your mom you put these things away, so we can play a little one on one." Offered Pete

"No Pete I'll get it!" shouted Clark as he ran after his friend

"Clark chill its just a couple of peaches I think I can manage on my own." At this point the two were standing in front of the storm cellar.

"No, Pete you go get the ball I'll get my mom the peaches." Clark tried to stop him but it was no use. Pete just walked in and stopped dead in his tracks. Stunned by what he saw.

"Clark, I can't believe you went behind my back and took this. I'm the one who found anyway it's not like you have license or registration for this thing. I found it it's mine!" said Pete as he stomped up the steps and back to his car.

"Pete I can explain."

"I don't want to hear your excuses," answered Pete as he drove away. As he drove out of the Kent farm he saw Clark face in his review mirror. Until suddenly he couldn't see him anymore. The next thing he knew he felt a huge jolt as his car stopped, he looked forward and saw Clark holding the hood of his car. Pete looked at his friend with confusion.

"Pete we need to talk. "

The two teens were back in the storm cellar Clark explaining the whole story about him being an alien and coming to earth in the meteor shower. Pete just starred at him dumbfounded.

"I-I can't believe you've kept this a secret from me for so long. I thought you were my friend I thought you trusted me." Spat back Pete.

"Pete, I wanted to it's just so complicated." Pete was silent looking angry "Come say something, anything. Call me an alien, a freak, a monster just say something."

"I'm out of here." Said Pete he was about to walk out of the storm cellar when Kristen walked in.

"Kristen what are you doing in here?" asked Clark being a little annoyed

"Getting the peaches you were supposed to get for mom's pie." She walked close to her brother and made her tone a whisper. "What are you doing down here with Pete?" he just gave he a look saying I'll explain everything later. As Kristen was walking up the steps she froze.

"Kristen, are you alright?" asked Clark. At that moment she began to fall backwards. Clark used his super speed to catch his falling sister.
