-Ok So I lied… the last one wasn't as long as I thought t was. This one isn't much better… but I think that they get longer as they go on, but I don't really remember. This is the least favorite chapter I wrote for this story, but I couldn't think of anything to replace it with.-

I stood in front of my full length mirror examining myself. I only had an hour before we left for Metropolis and I still didn't know what I was wearing. Right now I had on a short, straight, strapless plain black dress. It looked alright I guess, with the way I had my hair and make up so I decided to wear it. I kept looking at myself though. Only thinking one thing at this point.

'I wonder what Clark thought of me.'

Shallow and inconsiderate, with the fact that my mother had just died. But still, I wondered. I mean I had never thought of myself as unattractive. I had even been told I was pretty but that was hard for me to believe. I had long blonde hair, fair skin, blue eyes, wasn't very tall and was thin. I guess that could qualify as pretty. Finally I sighed and moved away from the mirror and put my jewelry on. This some one knocked on my door.

"Come in!" I yelled as I fumbled with an earring. When the door opened I was surprised at who I saw.

"Clark!" I said surprised. He was dressed up. "You look nice, any particular occasion?"

"Les invited me to the Gala; he said to keep you from being bored." Clark told me smiling some.

"Oh well, I guess that as considerate of him. I am sorry, umm have a seat if you'd like." I said motioning to a chair. He sat down as did I.

"So I hear you are from London." Clark stated. I smirked a bit.

"Did the accent give it away?" I asked

"That and Lex told me."

We both laughed a little... I was shocked at myself.

"So how old are you again Clark?" I said trying to push my sudden happiness away.

"18, almost 19. What about you?" He asked.

"17, but I will be 18 in a month." I stated. I could have sworn I saw him smile at that. Then my cell phone rang.

"Hold on." I got up and answered it.

"Hello?" Alright we are on our way." I hung up and looked at Clark, "That was Lex, its time to go."

He stood up and we walked down to the drive way together. I wasn't sure if I was going to get used to the life of a billionaire, but it was possible that it was getting better. When we got outside I noticed there were two limo's, I was kind of confused.

"Lex?" I asked when I saw him. "Why are there two?"

"Well I have some work I need to finish and I thought you two may enjoy the company of each other rather then listening to me on the phone for three hours." Lex said as he walked us to one of the limos. "Enjoy" he told us. The driver opened the door and I slid in, then Clark.

I looked around and was amazed. I had never been in one of these before, and I definitely liked what I saw. Clark laughed at my expression.
