Project Epilogue:

All of his life people have thought that he would always be the one to never do anything spectacular. Even his friends who know his secret have thought that Clark would eventually have 2.5 kids with Lana and live in a nice two story house with a white picket fence at the front. Well he didn't end up with Lana now did he? Right now Clark loved the life of being a bachelor, looking out for random people who get themselves in trouble with other random people who have evil looking do-dads.

And he knew that he had, had enough of his friends and people in general thinking that he, Clark Kent, couldn't do anything that could possibly be hilariously stupid.

His was a male damn it! And it was time for him to step up and take the role that had been passed on from generation to generation of the human race.

Clark was going to prank Pete and it was going to go off like a house on fire. Or so help him…

Oh and of course Lois… but luckily for her agent Kent executes his plans of domination and humiliation one person at a time.

Operation Epilogue will begin now.

Clark smiled to himself as his eyes looked back at Pete in the rear view mirror. His friend was literally sweating buckets; Clark could see the beginning of droplets on his forehead. His clear blue eyes went back to the road to find a parking space near enough to the fair grounds so that the group could walk and not have to pay for a spot inside.

Parking perfectly, Clark put the hand break on and turned around to listen to Chloe's plan for the day. She unbuckled her seatbelt and looked at her posse. "Okay guys you have two options, we can go in one big group or split up when we get inside. Personally I think it would be better-"

"You want to go in a big group don't you?" Kara interrupted.

Chloe blinked and smiled a little irritated at the other blonde. "Well yes-"

"Great, I wanna go in two groups." Kara smiled back.

Chloe clutched her jaw. "Fine, but I just think it's safer if we-"

Pete jumped at the chance of not being in the same place as Clark and supported Kara's idea. "Wicked, two groups it is! Everybody out!"

The seven friends climbed out of the van and walked towards the fair's entrance. Lois leaned over to whisper in Kara ear. "You did that just to annoy her huh?"

Kara put a blatantly fake shocked expression on her face. "Who? Me?" She pointed to herself. "No." She then smiled coyly at Lois and quickened her pace. Lois just laughed under her breath at Kara and shook her head. "That one learns fast."

Stopping at the gate Clark turned to everyone. "Alright, I think we should go with the people who want to do the same things here and… Lana are you feeling ok?"

Lana was leaning against the fence staring at an ant on her shoe. "Fine" She mumbled.

"Well, I'll be going to the sideshows." Jimmy suggested. "I could be leader of one groups maybe?"

"Great!" Chloe put one hand on Jimmy's shoulder and the other on Lois'. "Lois you got the other group."

Lois quickly pulled away from her cousin. "What? Oh, hell no. See I was just going to get some fairy floss, rip off a few carnies and that's about it. I am not baby sitting some of these idiots."

Four heads whipped around to look at Lois. "Hey!"

Clark just rolled his eyes. "Listen Lois, I'm just going to get some food as well so I'll go with you."

Lois waved her hand in the air, absent minded. "Whatever floats your boat Smallville."

Clark beamed "Great! Kara you're coming with us-"

"What! Why?" Kara exclaimed

"Because I said so." Clark took and looked at Lana and frowned. "Jimmy you can have Lana…"

Jimmy shook his head. "No way CK, I have a freaked out Pete in my group already. You can have the other weird one."

With that, Jimmy, Chloe and Pete walked off towards the sideshows. Kara put up her hand. "Wait." Lois and Clark glanced at her. "We get stuck with THAT." She pointed towards Lana, who was now slumped onto the sidewalk babbling happily to her ant friend. Lois just nodded and started off in the opposite direction the others went. Clark shrugged at her as he helped Lana to her feet and went off to follow Lois. Kara was left standing on her own, watching their retreating backs.

She sighed as she dragged her feet. "You have got to be kidding me."

"Roll up, Roll up, try your hand at the hammer throw-"

"Ladies and Gentlemen, come on over and have a try at the famous-"

"WOO! Folks we have a winner!!"

"Knock over the pins, and you win a prize"

Chloe, Pete and Jimmy passed many stalls that tried to gain their attention, but to no avail. Tents lined both sides of the path that the little group took. Jimmy had a bounce in his step as he flapped the notes of money in his hand excitedly. He stopped in front of one of the many tents. His eyes sparkled as they locked onto one of the stuff toys that could be won. That purple monkey was calling his name and who was he to deny such a calling.

As Jimmy ran up to the vender to buy as many tickets as he could, Chloe dragged Pete with her to sit down on a bench to see if lady luck was on Jimmy's side. But her friend wasn't all that interested in her boyfriend's fortune. His dark brown eyes went backwards and forwards quickly, keeping an eye out for a potential prank attack from his so called 'Best Friend'.

Chloe noticed his sharp movements; her face showed just what she thought of him. "You're an idiot Pete Ross. Absolutely pathetic."

Pete whipped his head to hers. "What?"

Chloe rolled her eyes. "Listen it's not like Clark's going to "Attack" you in front of the many people here. Oh AND he won't do anything when you expect something."

"So what do you suggest?"

Chloe patted his leg. "Relax! Read your book or something."

Pete laughed out breathlessly "Yeah, I think I might do that." He pulled out 'Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows' out of the backpack that held all of the groups stuff.

Chloe noticed the book. "Aren't we a bit behind the times?"

Pete opened the book to where his book mark was. "Hey I'm nearly finished and…OH MY GOD!"

Pete's outburst made Chloe jump and smile uncomfortably at passing people who looked just as surprised at her friend. She slapped him on the arm. "What's your problem?!"

"My…It…The epilogue's gone!" Pete stressed, flipping through the book.

As the pages turned a piece of notepad paper fell out. "Pete, this yours?" Chloe picked it up and examined it carefully.

Pete watched her. "No…" He looked back at his book. "What the hell? I want to know what happens!"

Suddenly Chloe laughed. "Pete…you'd better read this."

She handed him the piece of paper.

To Pete,

Did you really think you get away with wetting my favourite pair of jim-jams? I think not. I now call a war my 'friend', each prank needs to be better then the one pulled previously by your opponent. Now enough about my proposition and more about my prank.

I am currently holding your epilogue hostage. If you ever want to see it again, follow the clues that you'll find around the fair. Oh and don't even think about trying to find me 'cos I want tell you where it is…That wouldn't be fun, now would it?

Good luck, you're going to need it…

With love,

Clark.

PS. Sucka!

Clue 1:

I'm here in a tent, Can you find me?

If you can't, don't worry.

I'm sure if you follow the yellow brick road…

Pete re-read the note three more times. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF HOLLY CHRISTMAS!?!"
