Chapter 3: Lost Memories
"Smallville, cut it out, this isn't funny." Lois said seriously to a confused Clark.
"Smallville?" Clark asked in a serious confused tone as he slowly got up from the dirty ally ground.
Lois knew right then and there from the tone that Clark was speaking in, that he wasn't messing with her. That he was totally clueless to who he was and where he was. Great, Clark Kent loses his memory yet again!
"Oh great..." Lois mumbled out loud to no one in particular as she slowly got up from the ground and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Meanwhile, Clark was standing in the same spot where he got up from and was looking around at his surroundings. He had no clue on earth where he was, who he was, and who this girl was who was talking to him. All he knew that he was in some creepy ally that had muddy puddles, trash in it, and that it was kind of weird to wake up in place like this. Clark figured that this young women standing by him must of known him since she was talking to him, and called him Clark, which was probably his name. Or was it Smallville? Honestly, he didn't know. He knew nothing at all at this point. All he could remember was the last minute or so and he didn't need someone to call him two names, if they were his names even at all. Lois started talking, which broke Clark out of his thoughts.
"Well, at least you have clothes on this time." Lois added with a grin as she looked at Clark at the memory of when she first met Clark in the cornfield all those years ago.
"What do you mean at least I have clothes on this time? This isn't the first time that this has happened to me?" Clark asked in a worried and confused manner.
Laughing a little at Clarks facial expression and tone of voice, Lois decided to tell Clark what she meant.
"Well, when I first met, you had amnesia. Which you seem to have again. And well, you were stark naked...in a cornfield, and you happened to get struck by lighting. Lets just say it was one way to met someone." Lois said trying to hide her blush from the memory.
xxxxx"Actually. I wouldn't mind finding him naked again, then again, it wouldn't be as fun to find Smallville naked in an ally, it would be better to find him in that cornfield. It suits him better. Wait, what am I talking about?! Smallville has lost his memory, yet once again! And I'm thinking of him being naked!! Well, actually, I was thinking of when he did have amnesia, so I wasn't completely off subject."xxxxx
"Okay, well, um, I better take you home." Lois suddenly said to Clark.
"Wait, I know you right?" Clark asked unsure if he should go home with this lady.
Lois laughed sightly at that. He had no clue about himself, and he wanted to know if he knew her. Of course he knew her! Lois Lane doesn't go around town talking about how she saw men naked!
"Well, before you lost your memory, you did, but I guess now you don't know me now. Sorry about that. I'm Lois Lane."
"And I'm...?" Clark asked unsure of who to call himself.
"Your name is Clark Kent. But I call you Smallville most of the time."
"Smallville? Why?" Clark asked even more confused.
"Well, when we met, I meet you in your hometown, Smallville. It just kind of stuck."
"Oh."
xxxxx"This girl sure is something. We must of been pretty close if she calls me a nickname, and that she saw me naked. Well, she is attractive after all. Maybe we dated or something. I guess she'll tell me everything that I need to know later."xxxxx
Lois had finally convinced Clark, after a few moments, that she needed to take him home to try yo get his memories back. She found out from last time, that a hospital wasn't much help. So she decided that she might jog his memory by going to the farm. Hopefully it would help because she was the only one that could help since everyone else that knew Clark well wasn't around anywhere close.
-In Lois' car-
Lois kept driving throughout the countryside as Clark kept silent. Lois sighed, because she hated uncromfrotable silences. The trip was going to seem like it took forever since all there was to look at was cows and more cows.
"Crap." Lois said all of a sudden as she drove down the highway with Clark in the passengers seat.
Clark jumped a little from her sudden talking.
"Chloe can't help with this situation since she is on assignment, Kara just had to go and visit California with Jimmy, and you mom is in Washington D.C. ! Honestly, how many times does someone loose their memory in their lifetime? I've known you for what, four years, and you've lost your memory two, no wait, three times if you count Valen-...you know what never mind. I can do this. Going to the farm can jog you memory, right? Maybe you can look through photo albums and I can tell you what I know about you. I mean you've gotten you memory back before, so this time shouldn't be any different, right? Maybe I should call your mom. No, she's probably busy with her Senate stuff. She doesn't need to worry about anything else the way it is." Lois rambled on.
xxxxx"Wow, my mom is a senator! Thats pretty cool I guess...jeez, this girl talks a lot!"xxxxx
"You talk a lot." Clark finally said to Lois as she just got done rambling on and on about the problem.
"Yeah, well, I'm not a fan of uncomfortable silences. You should know that, but I guess you really don't. And I think I'm having daja vu. I was having this 'uncomfortable silence' talk with you when I first met you. How about some music? You know, whenever we get to the farm, I'll figure out a way to help you to get your memories back." Lois said as she turned on the radio.
Clark wasn't really listing to the radio station that she had turned on to, or Lois talking. Well, okay, maybe he was listing to her talking, but mainly, he was only listening to her voice, and not what she was saying. It wasn't like it would probably help anyways, since he really not a clue about anything, and she was just probably rambling on about random things like she had moments before.
xxxxx"Wow, she has pretty eyes. And she does talk a lot. Its kind of cute that she's nervous. I wonder why she is the one that is nervous, I'm the one with no memory! I should be the one that is nervous, but she said that she hated uncromfrotable silences. I wonder why she was with me when I woke up with no memories? And why we were in that ally?"xxxxx
"Lois?"
"Yeah?" Lois asked keeping her eyes on the road.
"Umm...what were we doing, before I woke up with no memories?"
"Oh, we were working on a story for the Daily Planet. That's where I work, the newspaper in Metropolis, but you don't work there. You just happened to tag along." Lois replied as she pulled onto a gravel road that lead to the Kents driveway.
Lois continued to tell Clark the story of how she was suppose to get this important information from this one guy to write an article, and how everything went wrong, and how he ended up like this, which she thought was the item the guy had thrown at them, which remind her that if it wasn't for Clark pushing her out of the way, that she probably would of lost her memories as well. Then they both would of been screwed.
"You don't remember, but before you lost your memories, you pushed me out of the way of the item that probably made you lose your memories. I just want to say thanks." Lois told Clark as she turned off the car.
"Your welcome." Clark replied back with a smile, which Lois knew as the famous Clark Kent smile.
xxxxx"Why does he have to smile like that? It's sexy and I just want to kiss him, but I can't. He can't even remember who I am. Besides, I wouldn't even have the guts to kiss him if he remembered everything anyways."xxxxx
"Well, this is where you live." Lois said suddenly as she and Clark got out of her car.
"You sure I live here?" Clark asked Lois.
"Well since you like to wear plaid all the time, and I have lived with your family for a year, I'm pretty sure that you live here." Lois said.
"You lived with me?" Clark questioned.
"Long story." Lois said.
"Did we date?" Clark asked again.
xxxxx"I wish."xxxxx
Nervously laughing at Clarks question Lois replied, "No Smallville, we never dated. We're just friends."
"Oh." Clark replied with a hint of disappointment in his voice, which Lois noticed, but tried to get out of her head that Clark wasn't really himself and that they were only friends.
Seconds later, Shelby came trotting out of the barn and came up to Lois and Clark.
"Hey Shelby." Lois said as she petted the pooch.
Shelby wagged his tale and licked Lois' face. Lois of course had dog slobber all over her face, and of course, since she was allergic to the furry pooch, she sneezed.
"Eww, Shelby, did you have to french kiss my entire face?" Lois said as she wiped the drool off with her arm, while Clark laughed at Lois getting drool all over her face.
"He's you dog." Lois said to Clark to confirm who the dog belonged to.
"Achoo!" Lois sneezed again.
"Only if I hadn't hit you that night, I wouldn't be sneezing right now." Lois said to Shelby.
"You hit him!? He's only a dog!" Clark said shocked.
"It was an accident! He ran out in front of my car. Besides, I brought him back here, and you wanted to keep him. The dog follows me everywhere, I think he knows that I'm allergic to him. But what can I say, I have a soft spot for the pooch." Lois told him as she gave Shelby a quick scratch behind the ears.
Shelby then went over to Clark and wagged his tale, but Shelby knew that something was wrong with his master. Clark then petted Shelby on the head to tell the dog that everything was okay.
Clark then stood there looking at his surroundings.
"Well, lets go into the loft first, that is where you spend most of your time. We'll probably have more luck getting your memories back that way." Lois said as she started to head towards the old red barn with Clark and Shelby by her side.
"I spend my time in a barn? Isn't that kind of weird." Clark asked Lois as they made their way to the barn.
"Thats what I said when I met you." Lois muttered.
