First of all I want to thank my mommy for bringing me to this planet and always encou… oh… isn't this my Oscar speech?

Making Space For Freaks

"This is where you work?" Luna asked with a snigger. Kelsy and Clark dumped the bags next to the counter. Although Clark had insisted to carry all the bags, Luna told him Kelsy was her personal slave monkey and did all her bidding.

Kelsy walked over to Luna and punched her in the shoulder. Luna oompfed as she doubled over and then stood tall again pulling a pained face.

"Too hard," she muttered.

"I ain't no monkey slave," Kelsy said with a smirk.

"Slave monkey," Luna corrected her and jumped out of the way of another swing. As she ducked Clark walked over to Lana who had switched on the coffee machine.

"They're a bit strange, I admit," he told her with a smile. Lana responded with a weak laugh.

"A bit is a slight understatement," Lana said. "I don't think I can cope with keeping the two of them here. Clark, I know…"

"I think I know what you're going to ask me," Clark said with a smile. Lana tried to give him her best puppy-dog eyes. "I guess I could take up Kelsy for a while. How long were they going to be staying?"

"She never said." Lana and Clark turned to look back at the two girls where Kelsy had grabbed Luna in a headlock. Kelsy, who was busy giving Luna a noogie, noticed their stares and walked over to them, dragging Luna behind her.

"Yeah?"

"Not to be rude or anything, but how long were the two of you planning on staying?" Lana asked carefully. Kelsy opened her mouth but Luna who had been whining about her noogie interrupted.

"If this is a coffee shop, where are all the shopees?" she yelled and managed to escape Kelsy's grip. "I mean… are we the only four people in this little, itty, bitty Texan Town?"

"It's Kansas, and no," Clark said before Lana could strangle the girl. "We were just going to bring your bags to your bedrooms and then show you the town."

"There's stuff to see?" Kelsy asked with amazement. "I think Imma gonna faint, y'all," she said in her most southern drawl and raised her hand to her forehead. Clark and Lana looked at her in confusion. Kelsy had not spoken much and when she had, it had definitely not been in Luna's most sarcastic way. "Can't I be patronizing over small town folk too?"

"She gets that from me," Luna said and patted Kelsy on the head. "Good monkey." Within seconds she was in a headlock again. "Crap."

"Listen. Uh, we had plans to keep you guys together but… I don't really have that much space," Lana said slowly. "Is it alright if Kelsy stays with Clark?"

"Hell yeah!" Kelsy said and again received some looks. "I mean, yeah, sure. Whatever." Luna laughed loudly and then slipped out of the headlock for the second time. She swung her head in a circle and clapped her hands.

"Let's go see where Kelsy stays then! You're a farm boy, right?" she said with a grin at Clark.

"Of course you can stay here," Martha Kent said with her usual polite smile. "How long do you plan on staying?" Kelsy gave a faint smile and glanced back at long.

"Not that long. Lun and I have other plans," she said not giving out her 'at most a month' thoughts.

"Just put your bags in the living room and we'll set up the couch for you later tonight," Martha said with a smile. She was reluctant to let a girl sleep on the couch but there really was no where else.

"Mom, I'm going to show Luna and Kelsy the town."

"So?" Chloe said once Lana had returned to the bar. "Where is that evil twin of yours?"

"My cousin and her friend are out with Clark. He's showing them the place. Also I think we should take them with too school because I really don't…"

"Woah there, partner!" Chloe stopped Lana. "Let me handle all the info first. You left them with Clark?" Lana nodded slowly and Chloe saw the pained expression on her face. "It's your own fault you know."

"Please find them and do your evil journalism tricks. Make them go away," Lana said with a friendly smile. She meant it but there was no reason to alarm Chloe of the evil that lurked within her cousin.

"No problem," Chloe said and whipped out her phone.

Not as much as last time, but live with it. It's not that hard to find a place for people to live…
