"It's Christmas! Can't you guys forget what you've got against Lex, just for the holidays? His family's never been big on Christmas, I want his first one in Smallville to be good!" Clark protested.

"I'm with Clark," Lana agreed.

"Big surprise," Chloe muttered to Pete.

"All I'm saying is that there's no need to be rude," Lana finished.

Lex decided to make his presence known, walking out of the dark hall. He offered them their hot chocolate in six stainless-steel thermoses. They took the drinks, the ones without gloves warming their hands on the warm thermoses. Lex opened the door; they filed out with muttered thanks- louder, heartier ones from Lana and Clark. Lex firmly shut the door behind them and leaned against it for a moment, sighing. Time to fire that bodyguard. Then he straightened, recalling the valuable information he had just received. Christmas Eve. Presents. He needed to get them presents.

I'm thinking about making this one in a series; like, 'The Smallville Holidays," or something. Please, tell me what you think about the idea, and the current story! Thank you very much.
