Chapter 14

Clark and Lois are still in the barn

Clark – Well we'd better go back inside.

Lois – Do we have to?

Clark nods

Chloe is going to have a field day with this.

Clark – So's Pete, come on we'll do it together.

Lois –Ok but your going in first.

Clark – Sure

Clark and Lois head to the house and find Chloe and Pete watching TV.

Chloe – So stopped arguing you two?

Clark – Yeah I think so (looks at Lois)

Chloe – I knew it!

Lois – Knew what Chlo?

Chloe – You two!

Clark – Maybe

Lois – Definitely!

Pete (laughs) – Well it's about time.

Clark – Don't worry Pete, no more emails, promise.

Pete – Well while you two have been outside doing …. Whatever you've been doing, I've finally made a decision.

Clark – What?

Pete – I'm moving back to Smallville.

(Chloe and Clark look at Pete)

Clark – Yeah?

Pete – Yeah, its so lonely back there and its not the same without my best friends.

(Chloe goes up to Pete and gives him a hug)

Chloe – Well at least I won't be out numbered with these two now

Lois – Hey

Chloe – You know what I mean.

Pete – Well it looks as if we are going to have to keep our eyes on them, if this weekend is anything to go by.

Clark – Welcome Home Pete, I need another guy around to help me put up with these two!

Lois – Put up with! (playfully punches him) Watch it Smallville.

Clark (smiling) – Or what?

Lois (whispers) – No more shower visits.

Clark – Ok, I'll behave promise.

Lois – Good Farm boy.

Pete – Just a thought you two (addressing Clark and Lois), but now that you've finally got your act together, when are you going to tell the Kents?

Clark, Chloe, Lois and Pete all look at each other

Chloe – Oh come on, you've got to tell them, they aren't stupid.

Clark – I know but … (looks at Lois)

Lois - … we need some time without anyone knowing (looks at Clark)

Clark – Yeah, its weird enough as it is

Lois – Hey, not funny.

Clark – Only joking. Maybe we should wait just for a while, but we're going to have to tell them eventually.

Lois – Agreed, for some reason I don't; like lying to your parents.

Clark and Lois look at Pete and Chloe

Lois – You wont say anything will you?

Chloe – Na I think we can keep quiet for a while, don't you Pete?

Pete – Yeah I think we can

Lois (changing the topic) – Well now that that's sorted, lets get back to movie night. What we watching?

Pete – How about Urban Legends?

Chloe – Oh I haven't seen that one yet.

Lois looks at Clark, remembering the events of the previous night.

Lois – Yeah why not.

Chloe – Are you sure Lois, you're not the biggest horror film fan?

Lois (grinning) - Yep, besides I've got Smallville here to protect me.

Clark – Well it will give me a chance to watch the bits I missed.

Lois – Not if I have anything to do with it!

Chloe – Go ahead Pete, but im having the big sofa.

Clark – Fine, ill have the other one.

Pete goes to sit down next to Chloe armed with yet another bowl of popcorn, while Lois heads over to Clark armed with a blanket.

Lois – Move over Clark

Clark, Chloe and Pete are all abit shocked about hearing Lois call Clark by his actual name rather than his nickname, but ignore it. Clark moves over and Lois sits down making herself comfortable on Clark. The four of them watch the film and as predicted Lois is as jumpy as before and fins herself burying her head in Clark's chest at the scary bits.

Clark, Chloe and Pete just laugh at her

Lois – What?

Pete – Nothing.

Chloe – You look comfy there Lo?

Lois – Well Smallville makes a god pillow (looks up at Clark)

Clark – Glad to be of some help, now watch the film.

By the end of the film, Clark and Lois are snuggled up, asleep on the sofa with the blanket over them, looking as if they've been a couple for months, not hours.

Pete – Ahh, look at them!

Chloe – I know, don't think they ever believed us before tonight.

Pete – Well your plan worked Miss Sullivan

Chloe (grinning slyly) – What plan Mr Ross?

Pete – Come on Chloe, Twister, Truth and Dare?

Chloe – Well, yeah someone had to do something, but now I want actually proof

Chloe picks up her camera and takes a picture of Clark and Lois sleeping.

Pete – They'll kill you

Chloe – Well never mind, they'll thanks me eventually. Plus Mrs Kent will love it.

Pete – Chlo?

Chloe – Don't worry after they've told them, now come on lets tidy up.

Pete – Leave it Chlo, I'll do it.

Chloe – Ok thanks, I am feeling pretty tired.

Pete gets up and heads to the kitchen with the popcorn bowls and by the time he goes back into the living room, Chloe is fast asleep.

­Pete – Something's never change.

And with that Pete sits back down and falls asleep too.
