That day
Clark got up got dressed and managed to get the kids to school somehow.
He went to school and after school should I say experinced football practice.
" BAKER GET OVER THERE TO THE 20 YARD LINE NOW!" The coach yelled
Clark didnt say a work he just ran as fast as he could. for the first time the saftey gear was acually heavy on him.
" Hustle baker! what have ya been doin all summer eatin bon bon's ? Lets go "
' I think lois would be good in his position' He thought to himself.
" Alright baker , set and hike lets go " Coach yelled again
Clark bent down and placed the ball onto the tee. He yelled the call , " Blue 49 , Blue 49 Set HIKE!"
The Kicker kicked the ball and they all twords it, Clark trying out for quarterback was doing a terribel job at avoiding sacks. It hurt him so bad , he was beginning to think kryptonite felt better, he could barely get up anymore.
" BAKER CAN I SEE YOU OVER HERE FOR A MINUTE" The infuriated coach yelled
" Yah coach?" Clarka sked innocently he knew exactly why he had been called over.
" Baker what is the mattr with you today? You act like you have never played a day in your life, you dad told me about your accident with the lighting and I think its best if you sit out this season . "
' Coach" Now clark felt bad for ruining charlies's year .
"No baker im sorry but I cant let you play , I would have to stick you in JV and you would be last string the way your playing. Im sorry not this year ... but keep in touch alright?"
Clark looked at the coach and didnt say a word , he walked away to his old beaten up oldsmobile and skidded out of the parking lot.
' I cant even play with no powers , im so useless. ' he thought to himself.
' thats it i am finding a way back home , back to clark kents body , back to me.' he thought again .
" so what do you want for lunch mr. baker?" Chloe asked with a devious smile .
" Chinese ?" He said
" yeah sounds good to me. " she smiled back
" Okay but lets get some fresh chinese , not any of that cheap resteraunt immitation . "He grinned
" Charlie Baker , you are putting way to many miles on poor clark I swear , resteranunt food is fine ."
" Awww come one Chloe."
" No ."
" Fine , but we have to get the best of meteropolis , "
" Agreed." She replied kissing him the taking his hand to walk down the barren meteroplis streets
Clark went to the baker's house or his house rather and didn't say a word to any of the children.He walked straight into his room and slammed the door. He went straight to the computer to check his emails and to see if chloe had emailed him back. He was lucky he had not super-strenght at the momment beacause he knew in his own concience that if he had his stregth a hole would have punched his who arm straight through the dry-wall.
He strarted to toss a tennis ball up and down while the internet signed on . Then he almost fell out of his chair when he heard it . " Youv'e got mail." He clicked the little mailbox and found a reply from chloe.
He read the email and almost died of shock .
" chloe knows about me being here!" He cried out.
" Who's chloe?" A voice said
" hu?" Clark replied
Then Lorraine sat on the bed.
" You were hiding in here?" Clark said appauled his privacy had been so violated
" No walking by and heard you say Chloe knows who I am. Are you ok Charlie?"
" Yeah fine."
" I dotn think you are beacuse ever since the other day you have been acting so werid nto your self at all. , I mean I saw you at the football tryouts Charlie, What happened? Last year you were starting quarterback and now you cant even make the team? Its like your a diffrent person."
Clark's subconcious was telling him to tell her who he really was so mabey she could help but then he could hear his dad's voice in the back of his mind ' son, you have to be careful what you tell pepole, even the must trustworty can rat you out. '
" Look , Okay your right I have been someone else lately ok?"
" Yeah."
" Thats beacuse I am someone else ."
" Charlie I know the accident was tramatizing but your still you ."
" No , you dont understand," Clark began as he got up and shut the bedroom door." My Name isn't Charlie Baker , Im Clark Kent and live in a small town in kansas called smallville. somehow me and your brother were invovled in a accident with lighting the exact same time and we switched bodies or lives . "
Lorraine sat quiet for a minute then buirst out into a laughter so hard she fell out of her chair.
" hahahh your kidding right?" She asked wiping tears oif laughter from her eyes.
" No at all."
" Charlie stop ."
" Im Clark."
" Ok then Clark , prove it ."
" How?"
" I will ask you something only Charlie would know ok? "
" Ok."
"Kay here goes, When I was 5 years old we went on a Vacation for the first time and you got into a fight with the neighboors kids defending me , what was the kids name?"
" I have no idea.. Beacuse I am Clark , C-L-A-R-K , not charlie. "
" Oh my god! Its not you!"
" Yeah ."
" How are you going to fix this?"
' My friend chloe , the one you evesdropped about sent me plane tickets to smallville so I will meet your brother or me rather and find a way to switch it, and I need you to come with me to help me get your brother back home. "
" Why wouldn't he come back ?"
" Well its complicated but theres something else I need to tell you,"
" Ok."
" Alright dont freak out ok?"
" Alright."
" K, The reason it might be hard to get your brother to come back to his body is beacause he is experienceing the ultimate high right now, the best rush . "
" My brother would never smoke pot."
" What? no I mean that My body has special ablities or powers if you wanna call them and he is using them i'm sure and he wouldnt want to go back to his human body."
" My brother is not werid like that and what do you mean you have ' ablities?' "
" Im not like everyone , im not from smallville, im not from this galaxy ." He said
" Your the one smoking the peace pipe now!"
" No Im not kidding im from a planet called Krypton and I have special powers ."
' Mabey this is what dad meant but keeping my mouth shut, ' Clark thought
" Your crazy ." Lorraine said getting up to leave
Clark grabbed her arm and looked her into the eyes. " You Can't tell anyone , ever about this, if you do either me or your brother will be put in a lab and tested on , Im an alien Lorraine , im not normal , pepole have wondered for millions of years and searched for pepole like me and I dont want to become a lab rat , I want to live a normal life, please dont tell anyone. Please."
" Oh My God, Your serious.?"
" Yeah . dead serious."
" So my brother is stuck in an aliens body and experienceing more than I can imagine."
" Pretty much ."
Lorraine looked at Clark then the eyes rolled to back of her head and she passed out on the bed.
" Look Charlie this is all amazing but , we need to talk."
" About?" Charlie said to Chloe.
" About when you plan on going back to being Charlie Baker?"
" I am."
" No Your clark kent right now , "
" Chloe do you love me ?"
" I think so."
" Why do you want me gone then ."
" Look I can see it , those powers are going to your head and I need to help Clark, you know I love him too."
" Then why did you say you loved me Chlo?"
" Its a diffrent kind of love, I know you are enjoying this body and abilities but I know also That Clark was meant to do great things with that body , more than playing football."
" And you dont think I could do great things ?"
" I do but your scaring me now charlie, You need to give up Clarks powers sometime. "
" Your scared of me ."
" No but right now you are making me nervous. "
" Whatever Chloe I thought we had someting ," Charlie said getting up from the tabel .
" We do But you have beth and I need Clark ."
" What does clark give you? You said he gives you nothing compared to what I did. "
" clark may not be ready for a reletionship but clark is my best friend, my big brother and I need him. The world needs him."
" I dont wanna go back ."
" Well thats ok cause clark is coming here, with your sister ."
" Which one chlo?" Charlie said laughing , " I have quite a few ."
" Charlie your getting Cocky and rude with those powers and Im getting sick of it , call me tomorow when you are back to being the Charlie I picked up the other day. "
" No how about you call me when you love me like you did in paris and italy. "
Chloe didnt reply , she just turned around walked out and pulled out her palm pilot to being searching the web for the baker's phone number , she needed to talk to clark now.
