Lex arrived at the Kent's farm twenty minutes later with Lionel by his side.
Jonathan was clearly uncomfortable with their presence there, especially with the possibility of Clark becoming friends with Lionel Luthor's son. "Mr. Luthor." He nodded trying to be polite. "Hi Lex, what's going on?"
"We're spending the day at Lex's, daddy!" Clark answered already thinking of ice cream and cakes.
"Really? Martha, can I talk with you for a moment?" Jonathan brought Martha to the Kitchen to talk to her in private. "I don't like this. I don't like our son visiting the Luthor's lair again."
"I know darling, but this friendship is important to Clark and besides, today is Lois last day in the city. It won't hurt to let them have some fun. At least today." Martha said with a smile.
"You are probably right sweetie." Martha and Jonathan come back to say goodbye to the kids. "So, have fun and remember, be at home at 6pm. You know Pete is coming back from Grantville today." Jonathan reminded him.
"That's right. Thanks Daddy." Clark grinned at him. "I can introduce Lois to him."
"Why? We aren't even friends." Lois said rolling her eyes. "Is he as dumb as you?"
"Never Mind. Can we go?" Clark asked ignoring Lois.
"Of course." Lionel answered with a smirk. "Let's Go!"
In the limo, Lionel stops at Luthorcorp to work when the limo was supposed to come back to the Luthor Mansion, but Lois had a better idea.
"So, what are we gonna do now?" Lois asked already annoyed.
"Did you not listen?" Clark asked her also annoyed with her attitude. "We're gonna go to Lex's."
"I know Clarkie but we should do something more fun." Lois explained, looking out the car window.
"Like what, Lois?" Chloe inquired.
"Like that!" She pointed to the mall and smiled.
"Smallville Mall?" Lex asked, also curious.
"Yes, stop!" She asked to the driver without success. "Lex, can you tell him to stop?"
Lex looked uncertain about Lois's idea.
"Come on. You will love it. You had a lot of fun yesterday in the park, didn't you?
"She has a point, Lex." Chloe said, giggling.
"Okay. Can you stop, please?" Lex asked the driver who stopped in an instant.
"Yes, Mr. Luthor."
"Can you pick us at 5 pm?" Lois added. "Come on, we'll have lots to do!"
"Your girlfriend is bossy!" Lex said to Clark with a smile.
"She is not my girlfriend!" Clark said a little irritated.
"So, we are here now, Lois. what are we gonna do now?" Chloe asked still curious about what her cousin was up to.
"This mall isn't bigger than the one in Metropolis but I guess it's better than nothing."
"Well, I think it's better than staying at home." Clark said looking at the stores.
"It's better than you staying at home because you're in love with that Lana girl." Lois suddenly said embarrassing Clark.
"No, I'm not!"
"Yes, you are!"
"No, I'm not!"
"Yes, you are!"
"Are you guys starting again?" Chloe rolled her eyes already annoyed with them. "I have an idea. We'll split like we did yesterday. It worked fine in the park." She suggested trying to avoid their arguments again. "You go with Clark, Lois .. And I'll go with Lex."
"All right, cuz."
"Then we can meet again in an hour." Lex suggested looking at his watch.
"Make it two. two hours!" Chloe suggested. "In two hours we'll meet!"
"Okay, bye." Lois said with a smile.
"Chloe, don't leave me alone with her." Clark tried to call her but it was too late. Lex and Chloe are already gone. "Great!"
"See what you did Clarkie?" Lois said irritated.
"Me? You are the one who started." Clark said crossing his arms. "It was your fault!"
"No, it wasn't." Lois said also crossing her arms.
"Yes, it was!"
"No, it wasn't!"
"Yes, it was!"
"No, it wasn't!"
"Do you want me to pull your ponytails again?" Clark threatened her.
"And do you want another black eye?" Lois asked not afraid of him.
