Chapter#3

(At "The Daily Planet" in Tess Office….. she walks over to her desk to sit down and face Lana while looking in her drawer, making sure her tape recorder is one and places a touching hand on her gun before closing it.

Tess: Just how do you plan to make Clark come back to you?

Lana; (cryptically) I have my ways.

Tess: Well your ways better work because or both of our asses are going to be on the line! I need you to be prepared and sure about this. We need to distract that bitch Lois way from 33.1 projects. She is still investigating it when she on her own time. I mean her cousin is safe she should just let it go.

Lana; well that Lois Lane for you a down and dirty gal. (Rolls eyes) She does not have mush lady like class, but I guess it's not her fault after all. I mean she did grow up an army brat.

Tess: Seem like you have more in common with her than just wanting to bang Clark.

Lana: Hold on, I can relate to her only because she lost a parent and had someone in her life who was trying to make her what they wanted her to be. Just like Smallville did to me. I am in no shape or form Lois Lane and I never want to be.

Tess: well I think you should be. I mean she is tough, strong, and beautiful.

Lana :( angry) I did not come here to be insulted!

Tess: (smiling) I was only kidding. Lighten up!

Lana: I am lightening up. I just want to get my hands on Clark and away from her. I need to keep him distracted before he figures out that the body of the young lady I showed him at "Isis" was actually apart of 33.1 and that I was working on experimenting on her.

Tess: Nor do you want him to find out that you have funded your own little freak club and that's the real reason why you left him. To keep form finding out things. I mean you said yourself that he has a way of discovering the most intimate of details but keep his closed like Fort Adams.

Lana; (standing to leave) well I have just the thing to keep in distracted…. Me! (Leaves out the back door of Tess office)

Tess: I sure hope so. (As she turns off the tape recorder.)

(Meanwhile back in Smallville… Lois in the Talon Apartment on the phone with Lucy. )

Lois: I can't believe that I did that!

Lucy: well Lois You have always been impulsive. But your little outburst (snickering) just proved that YOU SO HAVE FEELINGS FOR A CERTAIN TALL, HANDSOME, SIX FOOT 4 BUILT AND SEXY, SHY FARMBOY!

Lois: I hate you Lucy. I really do! I have not had naughty thoughts about him for a day now and you had to go and point out certain things, so thanks a lot!

Lucy: Stop denying what you feel. I know what you feel too Lois. You many hide from everybody else but you can't hide from me or Chloe. Which I see why you are avoiding her?

Lois: I deny because he is so not my type. Second of all denial is my best friend! I can't afford to get into a relationship with Clark. He is one of the only true male friends I have and I won't mess up this friend ship. Then I 'am so not his type. He goes for sluts like Lana who plays on his emotions in the damsel in distress roll. I'm glad that bitch is gone (rolling eyes) because she played him like a fiddle for too long. It seems like he's gotten his balls back since she has left! He is usually not my type either, I like bad boys!

Lucy: Look at what dating jackass has gotten you, nothing but heart ache and drama! You are afraid to screw this up. You won't! The real reason why you are scared of dating Clark is that you are afraid that he will break down your walls and expose you for the softy you really are! NEWS FLASH he already has! You have to take a chance Lois because real love can be looking you in the face.

Lois: I know! But Lucy sometimes I 'am so self destructive I don't know left from right! It's just that since he has started working at the paper he has gotten all adult and sexy and confidence and has really thrown me off my ball game. Damn Him, I think he did it on purpose!

Lucy: Yeah, because he planned to make you fall in love with him! (Laughing)

Lois: I would put it past him. He will do anything to annoy me!

Lucy: Just think about it ok! Tell Chloe I love her and sorry that I can't make it to her party but midterms and a certain Bart Allen who used to love her is now loving me so her loss!

Lois: I am so glad that you have gotten yourself together. I am so proud! And I will think about your advice ok! I love you!

Lucy: Love you too Lois bye! (Both hang up phone as Lois gets ready for the party which is in two hours.)

(Meanwhile driving back to Smallville in Clark's truck, Chloe talks)

Chloe: OK so hears the plan one more time when we get home Clark you drop me off by my house and you and Jimmy go to the farm. (Jimmy in separate car following)I will get ready and tell Lois that Jimmy is picking us up. But instead Clark you will be as she will ride back to the high school with you alone. I will go down stairs early all will catch a ride with jimmy, who thanks you for letting him get ready at your house.

Clark: No problem, but why did you pick to have your party at the high school again.

Chloe: After all I did at that school it is the least that they can do to repay me for my time and effort. As editor I got more readers than the so called town paper "The Smallville Ledger". I so deserve a free party in the gym and food by a professional catered company so don't worry.

Clark: Won't it have sort of a prom and popularity feel to it! (smiling)

Chloe: Where I have my party should be the least of your concerns. Right now you should be revising the plan for tonight. Besides I won Prom Queen so it will be just like that again only with my king with me!

Clark: You're a good friend Chloe. Jimmy too. Giving up time for you just to help me, I kind of feel bad.

Chloe :( rolling eyes) don't! You did the same for me when I was going through a rough patch with Jimmy and Lois has finally warmed up to us getting married so this is awesome! I want you two happy! You both deserve it and her little outburst gave you the motivation you need to go ahead with our plan. Just remember to try to let Kal out a little with Lois you throw her off with confident Clark. Lois has this idea that she is a self destructive bomb waiting to happen which is why she is denying her love for you!

Clark: But that's what I love about her that she is so unpredictable and feisty. She is unlike anybody else I have ever met. Is this how it feels Chloe? To find that person who makes you complete. (Pulling up in front "The Talon"

Chloe: Yep! (Getting out of car) So operation Seduce Lois is a go!
