Hey! Thanks for all the great reviews. I appreciate it greatly.

Also, superrogue 17, I listened to the song "Plan on Forever". I must say that it would fit Clark and Lois.

Go Clois!

I don't own Smallvile. *sob*

****************************************************************************

Cate's Date

"Kevin! You idiot!!" Mr. Mason shouted as he knocked the wind out of his son.

Kevin crashed to the floor. "But….Da.." he tried to choke out.

"Are you stupid boy! I asked you to take care of this tractor yesterday! Now it still aint fixed!"

The man tried to land another blow on Kevin, but he dodged the man's fist. Kevin started to run away. He sprinted into his family's crops, hoping for camouflage. He ran among the corn as tears ran down his face.

He hated these crops! He hated his dad! He hated this whole town! These were all just stupid reminders of how useless and pathetic he could be. Out on the football field, he was perfect, but here that didn't mean shit.

Kevin kept thinking about all of these stupid reminders until he felt as if his skull would explode. Then, his whole body felt as if it were on fire. Kevin looked down. His feet were sinking slowly in the soil.

Scared, he lifted his feet and moved them. But, it all had the same effect. Kevin crouched down. The ground looked as solid as ever. However, when he placed his hand on the ground, it sunk into the land. Kevin lifted it to leave a perfect handprint in the soil. It was as if his body was burning the ground! No! He was melting it! He looked down to see that his feet broke though the soles of his shoes.

Kevin then touched a corn stalk. It melted faster than ice on the sun! He started to hyperventilate. He needed to calm down! But, what was happening! He started to walk again as he breathed slowly. The ground stopped sinking in. He was normal! For now.

***************************************************************************

Clark sat down at the kitchen table and sipped his coffee. He was sure glad that he got off early on Fridays. He couldn't stand to work another day with Lois sitting across from him. Every time that he saw her, he saw her future self. His future wife.

Clark sighed. He couldn't even believe it when he found out about Lois and him.

Flashback…

"Lois," he whispered again, "you're my future wife?"

"That's your father, isn't it?" Future Lois asked.

The twins nodded. They were still in shock. You would've thought that they might've heard the door when Clark came in. apparently the super hearing wasn't coming in so soon.

"Well, I guess that's my cue to go, now," Lois said, "Good luck explaining this. Bye."

"She hung up on us!" Cate exclaimed.

"Well played, Mother," Johnny said, "Well played."

"How can Lois be your mother?" Clark asked still shocked.

"Well, you see, when a man and a woman love each other…" Johnny started.

Caitlyn glared at her brother.

"What?" he asked, "Not a good time?"

Cate sighed. "Is it really that surprising that Lois is our mother? I mean don't you have any feelings for her?"

"Well…uh…it's not like I don't like her," Clark started, "It's just that I haven't really thought of who I would spend the rest of my life with."

"Not even Lana?" Cate asked.

"At one time, yes," Clark said rubbing his temples, "But she's not the same person as she was then."

"Maybe you should just give this time," Cate said, "Try to let this all sink in."

Flashback….Ended.

***************************************************************************

"We're back," Johnny sang as the twins entered the house.

"Hey," Clark said.

Chloe soon followed them with a smile on her face. "Hi!"

"Chloe, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"I went to Smallville High to answer some questions for the Torch, remember?"

"Oh, yeah," Clark nodded, "That Nichole girl wanted to do a story on you."

"Yep, and I must say I was impressed on her interest in my stories,' Chloe said pouring herself some coffee, "She could even tell whenever I was asked to write the facts and not the supernatural truth that I suspected."

"That's great."

"So," Chloe said, "I suspect that we'll be researching time travel all weekend."

"That's the plan," Johnny said grabbing an apple.

"I can't," Cate said looking up from her math book.

"Why not?" Clark asked suspiciously.

"I have a date," she grumbled.

****************************************************************************

Johnny spit out the apple that he had been eating. At the same time, Clark and Chloe swallowed the coffee that had been stuck in their thoughts.

"You have a what, now?" Johnny asked leaning in.

"A date."

"Since when?"

"Since today."

"But you don't go on dates," Johnny said, "You never agree when my friends ask you out."

"Look," Cate said sighing, "I didn't do this because I wanted to. It was that guy Kevin."

"The football player that flirts with you in biology and never leaves you alone?"

"Ohh," Chloe said smiling, "Johnny's friends asking her out. Football players flirting. It looks like Caitlyn's inherited those Clark Kent pheromones."

"What pheromones?" Clark asked, "I don't remember girls falling at my feet in high school."

"I remember quite a few girls doing just that while you played football," Chloe said smiling.

"Ahh," Johnny said, "So, sports are the way to a woman's heart. Maybe I should've tried out for the basketball team after all."

"Listen," Cate said, "It's just some guy that wouldn't leave me alone. I figure that once he sees that we have nothing in common, he will realize that we are just not meant to be. Besides, there is no way that I would date an older man on purpose."

"Ahh," Chloe said, "So, where is he taking you?"

"The carnival," Cate grumbled again, "we're going with a bunch of his friends. So, basically, it'll be me and a bunch of jocks and cheerleaders."

Just, then, Shelby started to bark.

"Ak! No! Get off! OFF!"

"Lois?" Chloe called.

"Chloe, help me get this beast off of me!"

Chloe pulled Shelby off of Lois. "What are you doing here?"

"Jimmy told me that you were here," she explained, "So, what's new?"

"My little sis has a date," Johnny said wiping away fake tears, "And it seems like just yesterday that she was learning to walk."

"Shut up," Cate said.

"A date?" Lois asked, "Where's the lucky guy taking you? I could help you pick out an outfit."

Cate paled. "Um…it's just the carnival. I thought that a T-shirt and jeans would suffice."

"Hmm…you could be right," she said thinking it over, "You never know what'll happen at these Smallville events."

Clark stood up, unable to contain it any longer. "I'm going to start on some work in the barn. Call me if you need anything."

Lois watched the farm boy as he walked out. "Is he okay?"

"Yeah," Cate said, "He's just got a lot on his mind."

******************************************************************************

On Saturday night, Cate walked through the carnival unhappy. All of Kevin's friends had bailed after a while to get wasted behind one of the stand. After that, Cate was stuck on her own talking to Kevin for the past two hours. It wasn't that he wasn't nice. No, so far he was a pretty polite guy. It was that all he seemed to be interested in was FOOTBALL! A girl could only take so much. She had tried to ask about his likes and dislikes, but it all she seemed to get was a shrug or an "I don't know. What do you like?"

The rides, however, were pretty fun for their time. Some of the stuff seemed ancient to her compared to the rides in her time. The Ferris wheel, however, was still a common ride and one of Cate's favorite. When she got to the top of the ride, she always thought that this is what it felt like to fly. She often wondered if her father saw the same view that she saw every time that he flew over towns.

"Do you mind if we sit down somewhere?" Caitlyn asked, "So that I can rest a little before the next ride."

"Sure," Kevin answered.

He directed Cate to a nearby pile of hay barrels. Sitting down, she pulled out a water bottle and started to drink away the pre-fall heat. It was then that she noticed Kevin itching a strange brown part of his arm.

"Is that bruise?" she asked peering at it.

"Uh, yeah," Kevin said, 'I'm not sure where I got it. Maybe from paintball last week with the guys."

"It looks kind of big to be from paintball," Cate commented.

Kevin shrugged. "Maybe it's from football. I don't care."

Cate stared at him. He was acting strange. Okay, stranger than usual. Just then, she felt his lips pressed hard on hers. She stared, shocked as Kevin tried to kiss her. She forced him off of her, trying to contain her strength at the same time.

"What are you doing?!" she asked furiously.

Kevin looked down. "I'm sorry. It's just that…"

"Look, it's my fault if I gave the wrong idea," Cate said standing up, "But don't you think it's too soon to start kissing me out of nowhere?"

His eyebrows knitted together. "You don't like me, do you?" he asked glaring.

Cate watched as Kevin stood up, towering over her. Something was wrong. Something was different about this guy.

"No….I mean…"

"I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!" Kevin shouted grabbing her arm.

Cate looked down at her arm. His hand felt like fire. Of course, her arm didn't brun, but she could still feel the heat. She looked down to see smoke coming from the soles of his feet.

"You never wanted to go out with me," he said as more smoke surrounded them, "Me? I'm the quarterback for the football team! You should be lucky to go out with me!"

'What the heck is going out?' Caitlyn asked herself.

*****************************************************************************

Clark, Johnny, Lois, Jimmy, and Chloe sat in the farm's living room playing cards.

"Jimmy," Lois said, "How is it that you never learned how to play anything other than Go-Fish?"

Jimmy shrugged. "Nobody really played cards in my family."

"What about in college?" Lois asked, "Didn't you and your friends ever play a game of cards with some beer?"

"No," he said, "Unlike your friends, my friends' late night study sessions usually involved studying."

Lois shook her head. "Olsen, has anybody ever told you that you're a square?"

Jimmy laughed. "Nobody who wasn't from the 1950's, Lois"

"Whatever. What I want to know is how you keep winning, Smallville."

Clark smiled. "I guess Lady Luck just likes me better."

Johnny snorted. The only way that "Lady Luck" was smiling on Clark was if she also went by the name of "X-Ray Vision". It was quite a surprise to Johnny when he learned that Clark cheated at cards. Well, almost cheating. Johnny had a theory that Clark only wanted to win against Lois, and since Lois was better than the rest of them, Clark always won. He was slightly proud of his dad's strange form of flirting.

Suddenly, Clark sat straight up and seemed to look out into space.

"Um…guys," he said, "Why don't I get us some pizzas?"

"Great idea Smallville," Lois said, "I'm starved."

"Right," Clark said as he started to grab everyone's order, "Johnny, why don't you come with me?"

"Uh…okay."

Clark started to head out the door when he stopped.

"Ohhh, Lois," he said.

"Yeah?"

"If you look at my cards, you don't get any pizza."

"You're no fun, Smallville," she said smiling.

****************************************************************************

"So," Johnny said outside, "What did you hear?"

"Cate. She said that she could use some back up. Apparently, Kevin's a meteor freak."

Johnny sighed. "Why am I not surprised?"

After super speeding into the carnival, Clark used his X-ray vision to find Caitlyn and Kevin. She was right. Clark could see the kryptonite in Kevin's body as he tried to get a hold on to Cate.

"They're over there," he said pointing to some hay barrels that kept the two hidden.

They super sped to where Clark pointed to see Cate holding a pipe outward as if threating Kevin.

"Thank God you're here," she said, "Everything I try to hit him with melts. It's like he's made of acid!"

Suddenly, Kevin charged. Cate took her pipe and swung it at him. Half-way through her hit, though, the bat melted.

"Geeze, sis," Johnny said running at Kevin, "just use your hands."

"Wait!"

Johnny swung his fist, but when it made contact, he felt the heat of Kevin's skin.

"OW! Crap!"

"I tried to warn you," Cate said, "Dad, blast him!"

Luckily, Clark understood what she meant. Focusing, he sent a minor heat blast just hard enough to knock Kevin out.

"Thanks," she said, "Do you think that Chloe can get him out of here before he wakes up?"

"Yeah," Clark answered, "He'll be locked away in no time."

Suddenly, Clark's phone started to ring. The caller ID read: Oliver.

"What could he want?" Clark mused.

"Clark?"

"Yeah," he answered.

"Some more future friends came to my office just now," Oliver said, "And one of them claims to be my son."
