Thanks for the reviews.

Metropolis University

There was a knock at the door of Chloe and Diana's dorm. Lois as the nearest to the door so she reluctantly got up and answered it. After a smile hey, she stepped aside and let Clark in, rushing off and mumbling something about going to the bathroom.

"You should really set things straight with Lois, Clark. She's been feeling really hurt ever since you guys had that fight." Chloe said.

"Yeah Clark, you both said some hurtful things to each other and it's not worth losing a friendship over." Diana added.

"She can apologize first if our "friendship," if you could call it that, means anything to her. I'm sick of having to go crawling back to people apologizing." Clark stated with an unusual bitterness in his voice.

"Please Clark. I've never seen her like this. She really doesn't know how to apologize because she think what she did is unforgivable, because of the way you reacted." Chloe pleaded.

"Well you know that it was justified." answered Clark with that same bitterness as before.

"Yes it was, but still Clark, please." Chloe pleaded one more time.

Clark looked at Chloe and then at Diana, who was thinking the same thing as Chloe, and then back at Chloe. He sighed and said, "You owe me one." Both Chloe and Diana smiled gratefully at him. He then walked slowly towards the door. He looked back at the girls, who signaled for him to continue. He knocked.

"GO AWAY!" Lois demanded.

"Lois it's me, Clark." Clark stated softly.

"So...what's your point?" Lois quipped harshly.

"I...I came to apologize." Clark said quietly.

"I don't want your apologies!" Lois screamed pridefully. "I want your love." she added to herself.

"FINE!" Clark screamed back. "I shouldn't even be the one apologizing, YOU SHOULD! But if our so called "friendship" means that little to you, I COULD CARE LESS!" Clark screamed again. He may have seemed cold and emotionless on the outside, but inside he was Clark was crushed, he didn't only want her friendship back, he wanted more. Chloe was actually shaking because she had never seen Clark this angry before. Diana walked up behind Clark and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Clark, calm down." she demanded softly. "Try again. She's hurting Clark, and no girl is that easy to apologize too." she informed him.

Clark groaned and reluctantly said, "Lois, I'm sorry. For everything, for the fight the other day, for my temper now, I just wanted to tell you that I do care about our friendship. And I mean friendship, no matter how much we both deny it. I'm sorry." he said sadly. He then turned and hugged Diana. Diana kissed his cheek and just held him. She rubbed his back in a comforting motion.

"Clark, Diana and I are going to go into town for about an hour to do some shopping. We will be back and feel free to clean this place up." Chloe smiled.

"Don't worry," Diana smiled, "we'll be back." She then wrapped her harms around his neck and kissed him tenderly on his lips. He smiled at her and she smiled back. Then the two walked out.

As Clark was about to clean the dorm room at super-speed, he heard the bathroom door open. He turned around to see Lois, her eyes were puffy, showing that she was crying, and she looked so broken and fragile. Clark had never seen the tough, fiery, sarcastic Lois Lane like this before, and he instinctively walked over to her and held her in his arms. Lois instantly wrapped her arms around his torso, melting in his arms, not wanting to act tough or to let go. She cried into his chest and Clark just held her, rubbed circles on her back to comfort her, and whispered in her ear. "Shh, it's ok. It'll be okay Lois."

"I could easily get used to this." Lois thought. "Please Clark, don't ever let me go." she pleaded to herself. Unfortunately, Clark did back up and lifted her chin to stare in her eyes. They were red and filled with sorrow, he just smiled and kissed her cheek. "Man I wish that was her lips." he said silently.

"Don't worry Lois. Everything will be back to normal between us before you know it, just wait and see." Clark assured.

"That's just it Clark," Lois began "I don't want it to be like that anymore. I mean I do, I love our playful fights, but I wish we could get closer here and there. Not just the sarcasm and banter. After these last 2 years of being friends, we've never had a real conversation. I care about you Clark. I know I don't show it well, but I value our friendship above any other. Can't we just start over?" Lois asked hopefully.

Clark just smiled and said, "Hello Lois Lane, my name is Clark Kent, it's a pleasure to meet you." He extended his hand and she shook it.

"Nice to meet you too Clark." she stated with a huge grin on her face. A comfortable silence filled the air. Lois soon broke it and said, "So Smallville, how about I help you clean this dorm."

"I'd like that Lois. Thanks." Clark smiled. "YES! We are back in business baby. But now what do I do? Diana or Lois? Lois or Diana? CRAP! For a second their I though my problems were pretty much over, but they are just beginning." Clark thought nervously.

"Okay," Lois thought, "first stage of operation Get Clark is complete. Now all I have to do is find a way to tell him how I really feel without him laughing at me."

"Do you think they've killed each other?" Diana asked playfully.

"It's possible, but unlikely. Lois definitely wanted to get back on good terms with Clark. Despite her denial, she cares about their friendship more than she does most." Chloe stated.

"I can't blame her. Clark is one of a kind." Diana said dreamily.

"So I guess your date went along well." Chloe smiled.

Diana smiled back, "You could say that, but it'd be a HUGE understatement. He is so sweet, charming, funny, handsome, polite, and yet he still has this macho thing about him. And boy can he kiss!"

Chloe smiled, "So basically your saying that if he asked you to marry him right now, you'd say yes."

"Definitely." Diana said firmly.

"Lois, you have your work cut out for you if your looking to get Clark from this girl." Chloe thought. "He seems to really have made an impression on her, and he kissed her. That definitely counts for something." She then said, "Hey Diana, you hungry? There is a small diner just around the corner if you want to get something to eat."

"Yeah I would. I'm starving!" Diana exclaimed as the two girls began to walk towards the diner.
