-1Chapter 2-Prom

"So Clark, how are the arrangements coming along for prom?" Lex asked. Clark was visiting Lex like he always did on Thursday's after school. They would hang out and play pool or watch a video on his big screen.

Clark lined up his shot and pulled back. The cue ball sunk in one of the stripes and Clark moved to make another shot. "It's coming. I went yesterday and got my tux. Pete is finding us a place to eat."

Lex watched has Clark scratched. He dug out the cue ball and moved it to fit his needs. "I insist you take my limo for the night." Lex said lining up his shot.

"I couldn't possibly." Clark said. He watched as Lex sunk in two solids.

"It's not a bother at all. Besides what's prom without a limo?" Lex asked knocking in the eight ball.

Clark smiled and nodded, "Alright. I really appreciate it."

Lex clapped him on the shoulder. "Hey were friends don't worry about it."

Clark was in his room putting on his tux. He was struggling with his bowtie as his mother came into the room. She swatted his hand and begun to tie it for him.

"Don't you just look handsome." His mother said.

"Thanks mom." Clark said as she finished and stepped back to get a good look at him.

He had on a black tux and his vest matched Lana's dress, which was a pearl white. She straightened his jacket as he pinned on his rose.

"Clark!! The limo's here along with Pete and Chloe!!!" Jonathan yelled upstairs.

Clark came rushing down with Martha in tow. He grabbed the corsage he got for Lana and made his way to the front door.

"Whoa, slow down son." Jonathan said. He had the family camera in his hand. "Let's get some shots first."

Clark posed with his mom. After a few shots he traded his mom to take a few shots with his dad. "Now, have fun tonight and try to get back early." Jonathan said holding the door open for him.

"I'll try." Clark said as he rushed out the door and down the driveway to the limo. Pete and Chloe were standing outside waiting for him.

Pete was dressed in a pinstriped tux, his vest matched Chloe's pink prom dress. "Wow, you two look great." He clapped Pete on the back.

"Don't look to bad yourself." Pete said opening the door, "Now let's go get that girl of yours."

They all piled into the limo and Clark gave the driver instructions to Lana's house. About ten minutes later they pulled up into the driveway. "I'll be right back." Clark said as he got out and headed up the sidewalk.

He rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer.

"Clark, you're right on time." Nell said answering the door and letting him inside.

"I would have been early but you know my parents." Clark said. Nell laughed and held up her camera.

"I know perfectly well. Lana!!" She called out.

Clark looked over to the staircase and saw Lana make her way down. Her hair was pulled back and up off her forehead. He pearl white prom dressed looked amazing on her. Clark was speechless and had to think to breath.

"You look outstanding." Clark said as she reached downstairs.

She smiled looking over him, "You look stunning yourself." He pecked her on the cheek and pulled out the corsage and placing it on her wrist.

"All right you two, smile." Nell said holding up her camera.

They posed for about five minutes till Clark mentioned they had dinner reservations. "Okay then. You two have fun, but not to much fun."

"Bye Nell." With that they both headed down the stairs and sidewalk to the limo. Clark opened the door for her and followed her inside.

They sat around the table laughing at Pete's joke. Pete had picked a fancy Italian restaurant close to the school. They had just finished eating and the waiter returned. "Can I get the check please?" Clark asked.

The waiter started to clean up their plates. "Your tickets have already been paid for by Mr. Luthor."

Clark looked over at Pete who just shrugged. "First the limo, now dinner. I can't believe him." Clark said.

"Hey, don't complain about a free meal." Pete said.

The girls just shook their heads as the guys went on again.

Prom was going when they showed up. The music could be heard from outside the gym. Once they got out of the limo the girls couldn't stop smiling. This was their senior prom and they were with the guys of their dreams and they looked great.

Inside was beautiful. Lights hung from the ceiling like stars and the band was up on stage playing a fast tune. Many of the students were dancing which Pete and Chloe jumped in on.

Clark pulled Lana into an embrace. "We finally made it." He said. Lana smiled up at him running her hands up and down his back. Clark loved it when she did that. It always relaxed him.

The music slowed down and Clark pulled Lana onto the dance floor. She wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head on his shoulder. They swayed to the soft tune together. It was only them in the world at that moment.

The night went by and the group danced to every slow song. Clark even got in on a few of the more fast paced and made a total fool of himself. The girls had snuck off to freshen up and when they'd returned the guys got them to dance crazy with them.

They hadn't laughed that hard since Clark fell into the pool at school while trying to be all macho with Lana and she pushed him in.

The final song came on and the group parted into couples. Clark pulled Lana close and slowly swayed to the music. Their eyes never parted for the whole song. It was the perfect night.

They dropped off Pete and Chloe first and were now on their way to drop Lana off. They sat cuddled on the seat.

"Tonight was wonderful." Lana said sighing in content.

"It defiantly was for me. After all I was the lucky guy to take the most beautiful woman in school." Clark said looking down at her head which was rested on his shoulder.

"You think I'm beautiful?" She asked looking up at him.

"Nothing compares to your beauty." He said leaning down and kissing her.

When they reached her house they sat in the limo for almost thirty minutes just holding each other and kissing.

Eventually they got out and Clark walked her to the door where they spent another ten minutes kissing at her doorstep. Nell would have been upset if she'd walked out and caught them. She wasn't to keen on them dating but eventually allowed it when she saw how much they cared for each other. They just didn't want to risk the event of her actually catching them.

"Night." Clark said pulling away.

"Night." Lana said removing herself from his warm and strong embrace.
