"This is great. Not only do we have no idea where we are, but there's no Bueno Nacho!" Ron whined. Rufus scampered up to his shoulder to sympathize.
Kim rolled her eyes. "Ron, we're in Amity Park, remember?"
"But where's Bueno Nacho! I want my Naco Night!" Ron wailed.
Beep beep bedeep.
Kim grabbed the communicator, and Wade's face flashed onscreen. "Let me guess, they're gone."
"Hey, there's a Nasty Burger!" Ron licked his lips. "Sounds like my kind of place!"
"Drakken and Shego left Amity Park about fifteen minutes ago. Their headed to some small town in Kansas," Wade said.
A map popped up. "Smallville? How original," Kim muttered. Ron started toward the Nasty Burger, but Kim grabbed his arm. "Time to go, Ron."
"But I didn't even get to try it!" Ron whined as he was dragged away.
"This is insane!" Sam muttered as they passed a sign reading "Go, Smallville Crows!" They were borrowing one of Sam's many cars.
"Where are we, anyway?" Danny asked.
Tucker checked his trusty PDA. "Smallville, Kansas: Meteor capital of the world. Not to mention small city in the middle of nowhere."
"Joy." Sam yawned. "Can we stop somewhere for the night? I'm beat."
"There's a good spot in those trees," Tucker said. His friends opened their mouths to object. "Small town. No hotels."
"Double joy," Sam muttered darkly.
The three friends pulled out sleeping bags then gathered wood for a fire. Danny pointed at the pile of wood, shooting a beam that caused it to burst into flame. The next thing he knew, he was face down on the ground with a mouthful of dirt. (This idea of Danny in the dirt is brought to you by my sister :D)
"Mmph," he muttered.
"Oops, sorry." The weight was lifted off him, and he spat out the dirt before turning to face…the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. "I thought you were someone else."
Danny gawked. She had gorgeous red hair and pale green eyes. Her black three quarter sleeve v-neck framed her top half beautifully, and her baggy, dark brown cargo pants hung at her hips. Behind him, Sam clenched her fists and scowled at the newcomer.
"I-I'm Kim," the girl said.
"I-I-I…"
"He's Danny," Tucker spoke up for him. "The girl with us is Sam, totally not Danny's girlfriend, and I'm Tucker, also single."
"I'm coming KP!" Ron stumbled into the campsite, nearly falling into the fire. Instead, he fell hard in the dirt. "Heh, oops."
Clark glanced around the Luthorcorp safe. The edges of the door looked melted, and it had been thrown aside like a useless toy.
"Wow, they did a number in here," Chloe said. "Hey," she knelt, "they left one." She stood holding a meteor rock, and Clark stepped back a little as the effects of the rock crept up on him.
"Great, let's look over here."
Chloe looked toward her friend, still holding the rock. "You look sick, Clark. You okay?"
He managed a wry smile. "I'm fine." He walked toward the another area of the safe.
Chloe shrugged then pocketed the rock. "So, what do you think?"
"It's like nothing I've ever seen," Clark admitted, fingering the door.
She stepped toward him to look, brushing her hands over the door. Clark quickly backed away from her. "Hm, no residue." She looked at her friend again. "Are you sure you're okay, Clark?"
"Maybe I am feeling a little sick. I'll catch you at home, okay?"
"Okay, see ya, Clark."
Kim couldn't help stealing glances at Danny. He was cute with his piercing blue eyes and raven hair, but from the way Sam kept scowling she had a feeling someone felt more than just friendship in the relationship. Kim quickly brushed that thought away. It'd be like she and Ron getting together.
"So you're just like Shego," Kim commented to Danny.
"Wait, Shego's—" Sam started.
"She's got the whole glowing hands thing going on too," Ron explained.
"Okay, I was going to say half ghost, but whatever," Sam muttered under her breath.
Danny shot her a look, catching her last comment, but she just rolled her eyes. It's not like he cared what she thought anymore anyway now that Kim Possible was here. She made a face then stood.
"I'm going to bed." She stomped off without even a 'goodnight.'
"What's wrong with her?" Sam heard Kim ask.
"She's always like that," Tucker replied.
If only you knew, Sam thought before drifting off to sleep.
In the morning, the group of five teens went into town. They stopped at the Talon, hoping to find a place to stay.
"If I had known we were planning to stay here, I would've brought one of my parents' credit cards." Sam was slightly edgy this morning and had snapped at Tucker for his harmless "rich kid" joke.
"If I'd been here before, I probably could've gotten us some place to stay as a favor," Kim said, trying to lighten the mood.
Sam snorted. "You could easily get any guy to give you a favor just by batting your eyelashes, 'cheerleader'."
"Where do you get off?" Kim snapped. She'd tried to be nice to the goth girl for the past hour.
"Right here, actually." Sam stood abruptly and stalked away.
Chloe sat at a table not far from a group of teens she'd never seen in Smallville before. One of the boys who had black hair and cute blue eyes kept glancing at a table where a goth girl sat with a look that could curdle milk.
"We'll deal with her later, Danny. We need to find a place to stay," one of the other boys at the table near her said. "Especially if we're going to deal with that blue-skinned dude."
Chloe turned in her chair. "Wait, did you guys say you needed a place to stay?"
After introductions were made, Chloe led the group to the Kent Farm. Sam, the goth girl, opted to remain at the Talon until they were sure they'd found a place…but she didn't say it in that nice of words, or as far as Chloe could tell when Danny returned cringing. At the Kent Farm, Chloe knocked, and Clark answered.
"Uh, hey, Chloe…" He glanced at the teens behind her. "What's up?"
"Can I ask you a really, really big favor?" Chloe clasped her hands in begging and tried to look as cute as possible.
"Uh, oh."
"These teens need a free place to stay, and you have that barn of yours, and I would've asked Lex, but I've already imposed on him enough," she said all in one breath.
"That boy can be so infuriating," Sam muttered, growling as Danny walked away with Chloe and the others.
"Boys can be like that, can't they?"
She jumped then turned around. "Who are you?"
The bald young man smiled at her. "You must be new in town. I'm Lex Luthor."
He extended his hand, and she cautiously shook it. "Sam Manson."
He sat across from her. "Can I sit here?"
"I think you just did." She leaned forward, crossing her arms on the table.
"So, what brings you to Smallville?" Lex asked.
"Oh, I'm here with friends."
"In other words, none of my business."
"Yeah, pretty much. I guess we all just had to get away. My parents have been driving me mad."
"I know the feeling. My father wrote the book on family disfunction."
Sam smiled. "Really? Why do you say that?"
"You mean you haven't heard of my family?"
"Should I?"
"It's just very rare when someone hasn't heard of the Luthor's. We're the richest family in a small town."
"Yeah, my family too. I try to keep it under wraps that I belong to the Manson's so people don't judge me by my money."
"I wish I could do the same."
A/N: I have finally had the chance to update for this story. I'm hoping to update again soon because my sister refuses to help me with Chapter 2 of Plasmius, the second installment of the S/KP/DP Series, until I've finished uploading Kryptonite.
