Chapter Eight

Cassie looked up at Clark who was standing beside her. The man behind the booth grudgingly handed over the stuffed animal to Cassie.

They had gone to a fair in the middle of the park in the centre of the city and Clark had just shattered ten milk bottles that had been carefully stacked. The man to begin with had even gone as far as showing them that the bottles weren't all glued together by wobbling the shaky structure.

He still looked confident that Clark wouldn't knock it over until Clark picked up the baseball and hurled it at the milk carton's that shattered instantly upon contact. The man hadn't believed it was possible openly admitting that the pitcher for the Yankee's wouldn't have been able to knock the bottles over, Clark had shrugged and the man handed over the pink fluffy rabbit. Cassie was beaming.

The dinner date with Richard and Lois kept being pushed back between Clark or Lois or Richard or Cassie caught with work, then Lois couldn't find a babysitter for Jason…it didn't seem to be able to come together.

Cassie had met Jason one day when she had dropped by at Clark's office. He was an adorable little boy with light brown scraggily hair that fell in his eyes. He had to be the brightest six year old Cassie had ever met.

Lois told her that Jason was a lot healthier then he had been in the past, it seemed that he had grown up very suddenly. Cassie had thought back on Jimmy's stories of when Lex Luther had kidnapped Jason and Lois and thought privately that that kind of experience would make a child grow up a lot faster then normal.

Something about the boy made Cassie take a double take though, she couldn't place it though, as if it was an un-findable conclusion that she would never reach but there was something familiar about the boy, in his slightest mannerisms. She shrugged it off as cuteness and forgot about it almost as suddenly as she had though it.

She looked at Clark; it was rare for her to see him not in a business suit of some sort. In fact this was the first time she had ever seen him in jeans. He was wearing a light jacket and a white tee shirt underneath. She was wearing a long jean skirt and white top with a black poncho over top.

She smiled at him, "Thank you!" She said brightly looking at her new stuffed animal.

"My pleasure, what you gonna call him?"

"Him? Clark, she's pink!"

"Oh right sorry…" He smiled at her as they walked through the crowds.

"I dunno yet, I was thinking something along the lines of-

Clark stopped dead, it was a few steps before Cassie realised he wasn't walking beside her. She turned and saw him standing a few feet back. She was instantly by his side.

"Are you okay Clark?" She asked gently placing her hand on his arm and looking at him concern filling her face.

"Oh yeah, I just feel a head ache coming on… I am sorry Cassie but I have to go." He looked extremely apologetic but Cassie smiled sweetly at him.

"That is fine, if you aren't feeling well you should go home, I will call you later."

He studied her for a second, "You don't mind going home on your own?"

"No not at all, you go." He nodded and turned back to the parking lot, "Talk to you later," Cassie called after him.

He turned, smiled and waved, "Bye,"

"Bye," Cassie said brightly. She headed back into the heart of the fair; she wanted to grab another bag of cotton candy before she battled for a cab home. She didn't mind being abandoned at all, she knew there was a good reason for it all, and she never tried to put him in a position where he would feel guilty, it wasn't fair, Superman didn't belong to her alone, Superman belonged to the people.

Clark Kent on the other hand was all hers and all she really wanted, sometimes she wonder what it would be like for their dates not to be cut short for the need of-

"Superman! Up in the sky!" Cassie looked up and sure enough there he was flying over the fair heading into the city to either save someone or foil some bad guy's plans. Cassie smiled to herself as she paid for the Cotton Candy and headed home.

A/N: Yeah I know it is short and really it is just kind of a filler, anyway hope you liked it as short as it was. More is soon to follow.
