Her arms wrapped around him from behind, "Come on."

"I can't," he whined back, "I HAVE to study."

"Just one song, and then you can be with your books all night," she said into his ear, and then left a soft kiss behind it. Followed by another and another and…

"If you keep that up, I won't be studying or going downstairs." His arms came back, grabbed her around the middle and swung her around onto his lap. She started giggling until his lips caught hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned into his chest.

She pulled away reluctantly, and looked at him with big eyes, "Pleaseeeeee."

He sighed heavily, "You KNOW I can't say no to that."

She smiled and jumped up from his lap, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the door. "I know." He followed with heavy feet, "Oh stop," she said as she got the door open. "It will be fun."

Jason followed her out the door of her apartment and towards the steps. The music, and off key singing from below caught his ears and he cringed. "Oh, yeah, it will be a riot."

She rolled her eyes, and once they got to the bottom step, she looked around for a table. She saw a wave out of the corner of her eyes, and waved back. She pulled harder on his arm, directing him to her new destination.

"So you finally got him away from the text books," yelled the blonde over the music in the background.

Lana nodded, "It wasn't easy. I had to use a LOT of persuasion."

Lois raised an eyebrow and Chloe looked up at Jason, "Exactly what did she do?"

He smiled, "I cannot say." He took the last seat at the table, and pulled Lana down on his lap for a place to sit. "I wouldn't want to put a question into anyone's mind about this young lady's virtue."

Lana's mouth dropped open and she hit his chest, "JASON!" He smirked back at her. Chloe and Lois just laughed. She shook her head, "Okay, for that, you OWE me a song."

His eyes got wide. "What?" She stood up and pointed at the stage as the last singer was just getting down.

He shook his head, "Oh no."

"Oh, yes."

"No."

"Yes!" she said, and stomped her foot.

"Oh, no!"

Lois and Chloe looked back and forth at them as if it was a tennis match.

"You can apologize by singing for me."

"Can't I just say I'm sorry. I am… I am sorry. I WAS just JOKING. Seriously." He looked at the other two girls. "I'm weak… Seriously. A kiss on the cheek is all." They rolled their eyes at him. He saw they would be no help, and he looked back up at her. "You're serious." She nodded. He sighed. "IF I sing, then you will forgive me." She nodded again. "All I have to do is go up there and sing a song." Another nod. "Any song?" Again, a nod. "Fine." She smiled in triumph as he stood up. She plopped down in his chair. He turned and leaned back down to her, "Just remember… YOU asked for it."

Her eyes got wide, and she swallowed, "Oh no."

"Oh, I HAVE to see this," Lois said as she turned around to the stage.

Jason walked up the steps and looked through the list. Finally he found what he was looking for. He selected the song and then looked back out into the crowd. He put the microphone up near his mouth. "This is for my lady," he said holding out his hand towards Lana. The music started to play, shook her head, and a reluctant smile sprung to her lips as she watched him start to move with the beat. She knew he was going to take it to the extreme just to embarrass her. The only problem… she couldn't get the smile off her face.

"Pretty womannnn, walkin' down the street. Pretty womannnn, the kind I'd like to meetttt. Pretty womannnn, I don't believe you, you're not the truth. No one could look as good as youuuuu." He smiled at her, paused, and then added with an Elvis like curl to his lip, "MERCY…"

She hid her face in her hands as he continued. "Pretty womannnn, won't you pardon me. Pretty womannn, I couldn't help but see. Pretty womannn… And you look lovely as can be, are you lonelyyy just like meeeee?" Her eyes peaked out through her fingers and he winked at her, and then let out a "Roooowwwwrrrrrr" The crowd went wild. Lois and Chloe each let out squeals and grinned over at their tablemate. Lana shook her head, and rubbed her forehead, but she could not get that damn silly grin off her face.

"Pretty womannn, stop a while. Pretty womannn, talk a while. Pretty woman, give your smile to meeeee. Pretty woman, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretty woman look my way. Pretty woman say you'll stay with meeeeEEEEE." She shook her head at him, and he just smiled back and belted the song out louder. "Cause I need you, I'll treat you right. Come with me baby, me mine tonighhhhhiiiiiitttttttt." He gave her a wink, and her cheeks turned a brighter shade of pink.

"Pretty woman, don't walk on by. Pretty woman, don't make me cry." He wiped away a fake tear. "Pretty woman don't walk awayyyyyyyaaaaahhhh." He move the microphone into his other hand. "Yeah, ok… If that's the way it must be… okay." He gave a small pout. "I guess I'll go on home. Its late, maybe tomorrow night…" He raised an eyebrow at her. "But wait… What do I see?… Is she walking back to meeeeeeee? Yeahhhhhhhh She's walking back to meeeeee. Wooooaaaaahhhh! Oooooooooohhhh! Pretty Woman!"

The crowd cheered. Jason sat down the microphone and skipped down the stage back to the table with the girls. Chloe and Lois stood up and each gave him a high five. "Nice job!" Lois told him.

"Thanks," he replied as he looked over to his beet-faced girlfriend.

Lois grabbed Chloe's hand. "Next."

Chloe's eyes got wide, "What?"

"Our turn," she said pulling the blonde out of her seat and towards the stage to pick a song.

The two of them arguing faded into the distance as Jason motioned to the waitress for two drinks. He grabbed one of the empty chairs and pulled it up next to the brunette. She hit his shoulder as he sat down. "What?" he asked as if he didn't know.

"Don't give me that."

His grin got bigger. He put his arm around her and pulled her closer to him. "If you hated it so much, why are you still smiling." She tried to think of something, but she only sputtered. "Do you know how cute you are when you are flabbergasted?" Her mouth opened, but he caught it in a kiss. She leaned into it, only to pull away when their drinks arrived. They each took their own drink and turned back to the stage to watch the girls each take a microphone as the music started.

The girls started singing 'I Love Rock and Roll." It doesn't take long and they both get really into it. Chloe starts dancing and belts out the song at the top of her lungs. Lois flirts with one of the guys in the crowd. Both Lana and Jason take a few more sips and smile back watching the girls have a blast on stage.

The door to the Talon opens. Another couple walks in holding hands. Lana feels the slight draft, and takes a quick peek. Her whole body shudders, but not from the cold. Jason felt her tense next to him, and he followed her gaze. Chloe and Lois notice the shocked looks on their friend's faces, and look as well. Their voices stop abruptly.

Not realizing that her microphone is still on, Lois looked at Chloe and spoke, "First he married the girl, now he's dating her?" A small squeal from the microphone rings through the now quiet room.

"That was subtle, Lois," her cousin responded.

Alicia and Clark look at each other and then at the silent crowd uneasily.

Lana dropped her head, and then turned back to Jason. "I think I've seen enough for one night." She stood up quickly and headed back to the stairs. Alicia broke apart from Clark and followed her. Jason gets to his feet and follows the girls with Clark right behind him.

"Lana, wait." She turned towards the blond. "I just want to apologize."

Lana laughs, "For what?" she asked her angrily, "Trying to kill me or not succeeding?"

"Look, all I want is a chance to prove to you who I really am."

"You already have," Lana spat out at her, turned and retreated up the stairs.

The guys make it to Alicia. Jason stopped in front of the stairs. Turning back towards Clark. He doesn't acknowledge the female as he speaks, "I can't believe you brought her here."

"Jason, listen…"

He didn't want to hear it. "Listen to what? Another apology?" Alicia turned away from them and walked out of the Talon. Jason barely watches her go and then stares back at Clark. "You think just 'cause she says she's better that everything's gonna be okay? Come on, man." He shakes his head and bounds up the stairs to go check on Lana.
