Sorry for taking so long to update...please see my 7th Heaven or Hannah Montana stories for the explanation...
Chapter Eight: Thirteen Years Make A Difference
"Mom!" seventeen-year-old Soraya called down the stairs of the Kent house.
"Yes?" Lana said, putting their breakfast on the table.
"I need to go to Metropolis to get a prom dress!"
Clark almost choked on his bacon. "Prom?" he said to Gabbey, who was sitting across from him at the table.
"Yeah, Dad, as in only the most important night of her life," she said, rolling her eyes at him.
"Who is she going with?" Clark asked her.
"Dad. What century have you been living in? She's going with Cameron. You know, her boyfriend?"
"Oh. I thought they broke up."
"Nope. They had an argument. That's about it."
"Oh. If they decide to...you know...I'm gonna kill him."
"They won't. I know better. I can't wait until my prom. I'm gonna wear a beautiful white and pink dress with spaghetti straps on it...or even better, I'll go strapless," Gabbey said.
"Not a chance in this world. You're only fourteen, and your mother agrees with me."
"Clark, she'll be seventeen, too," Lana finally interjected.
Gabbey smiled. Soraya came down into the kitchen. "Hey!" she said. "Gabbey, do you want to come with me to Metropolis?"
"Sure! Can we go to that new mall, with all the cool stores?"
"Of course. Where else will we go?"
They ate their breakfast and got into Soraya's car. They made the hour-long trip to Metropolis and went to the mall. They shopped for a long time before they decided to break for lunch.
They had tacos and fruit smoothies with ice cream for dessert. Soon, they decided to go to the movie theater in the mall. After the movie, they went back to shopping.
At the end of the day, they lugged about twenty bags to the car and drove home. Their parents said that they could spend the night in the loft, which had been redecorated just for them.
It had two fuzzy rainbow chairs, hanging beads, a big screen television, their laptops, their magazine racks, some posters of their favorite celebrities, and two big lamps. On the ceiling were glowing planet stickers and sparkling star stickers. They had a couch that pulled out into a bed, and that's where they slept.
Before they went to sleep, Soraya said, "Goodnight, Gabbey. I love you."
"Goodnight, Soraya. I love you, too."
I didn't like where the last chapter was leading, so I jumped farther into the future than usual. Please review!
