Later at Clark's apartment, he was watching a game when suddenly somebody knocked on the door. He used his X-ray vision and saw that it was Lois with some packages in her hands. Clark put his glasses on before he opened the door.

"Hi Lois!"

"Hey, Clark… are you hungry?" She asked before entered in his apartment without any invitation. "Can I come in?"

"Sure… what's up?" Clark asked as he follows her to the kitchen.

"I just need somebody to talk. You're the first one I thought of. It's about Richard."

"What happened?" Clark inquired, worried about her.

"We broke up. I know it sounds stupid but… I can't take him of my mind." Lois finally confessed.

"So… the engagement is… canceled?" Clark asked trying not to smile.

"Yes. I couldn't lie to Richard anymore while I'm in love with another man. It's not right." Lois confessed as she took the Chinese food from the bags and put them onto some plates.

"So, you are in love with Superman?" Clark asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes. I don't know what it is Clark, but there is a connection between us. When he put me in his arms and we flew together… I can't explain but its love. We're destined to be together."

"Is that so?" Clark asked with a smirk.

"Oh… I'm sure of that. Why?" She asked after notice his smug face to her. "Are you jealous?"

"Of Superman? Of course not." Clark said as they sit to eat the Chinese food in the living room. "I really sorry to hear about your engagement, Lois." Clark said with a sympathetic smile before their hands touch accidentally when they reach for the orange juice bottle.

"Sorry." They said in unison, uncomfortably.

"That's okay, Clark." Lois smiled at him before taking a sip of her orange juice. "Things weren't working between us since… well… he arrived. It was better that away."

"So… do you want to watch tv? I guess you shouldn't go yet… at least not with this rain." Clark pointed out with a concerned look. "And since there's an Audrey Hepburn Marathon we can watch… if you want of course."

"I think it's an excellent idea, Smallville." Lois smiled as they lay down together in the couch after they finished eating the Chinese food. "Thanks."

"You welcome, Lois."

Metropolis, 2016

One year later, Lois and Clark's friendship was stronger than never. They were in the Lexcorp division in Metropolis to investgate. Lois was trying to get an exclusive with Lex Luthor, who just announced he was in the race for President of United States.

"Are you serious?" Lois asked shocked pointed her recorder to him.

"Pretty serious, Lois." Lex answered with a smirk. "Now, if you excuse me."

"I think I'm going to be sick." Lois said with an annoyed look. "Lex Luthor as president of the United States. Who is he thinking to call as his VP? The Joker?"

"Come on Lois, it's better if we go now. It is your big night!" Clark reveals to her who blinks. "Tonight you'll receive your Pullitzer prize for your article about Superman."

"I know. I never thought they would give me an award for an article called Why the World needs Superman. I'm still surprised."

"But you totally deserved it, Lois." Jimmy said with a smile while he was still taking pictures of Lex Luthor.

"Thanks kiddo."

"Lois, we should get ready for tonight. I'll pick you up around eight, okay?"

"Okay, Clark. Thanks." Lois gives him a kiss in the checks making Clark blush.

After Lois goes out of Clark's car, Clark's cell phone starts to ring as he notice Chloe's number on the screen. "Hello? Chloe?"

"Clark, I have good news! I found the book."
