Sunday late October
Claire Kent was the Cheerleader Captain, the whole squad of ten cheerleaders were wearing blue red and gold cheerleader uniforms with a red 'S' for Smallville within a gold red bordered diamond on the front of each shirt and a blue miniskirt around the waste with a pair of red boots to complete the outfit, each shirt had a black crow on the back as a concession to the team mascot. Claire was influential in the design of the new Cheerleader uniforms, she was inspired by a reoccurring dream she had. In her dream there was also a red cape, but she couldn't convince her fellow cheerleaders to go along with that, they pointed out that crows weren't red. Claire still had those dreams about flying, and it this dream she was flying in her cheerleader uniform, she didn't know why, perhaps it was a repressed childhood memory. In some dreams she was on an alien planet with an enormous red sun, but in the dreams in which she was flying the Sun was yellow, she didn't know why. Today the Sun was not out at all, in fact it was raining quite heavily, but for some reason they didn't cancel the game, not that she minded the rain so much, but her team mates including Lana were shivering in their wet clothes. The were shaking their red pom poms and chanting "Crows Lets Go!" Claire wanted to do a back flip as part of her routine, but the cheerleader coach wouldn't allow it. Claire's boyfriend Frank Carter was getting creamed as a linebacker opposing the visiting team, the Tigers. Claire winced every time there was a pile up. Claire had to check her impulse to rescue him, she was sure neither Frank nor her parents would appreciate the gesture, Cheerleaders weren't supposed to get involved in the game other than cheerleading from the sideline. Claire's father Jonathan often told her that had she been a boy, we would not have allowed her to play football fearing that other players might get hurt, and girls weren't supposed to do physical stuff like that anyway, a girl playing football would attract unwanted attention, though she did here of a few playing at high schools on the news from time to time. Claire was not a tomboy by any stretch, as a younger girl she liked to play with dolls, especially the Barbie dolls that she resembled, she still had her doll house up in the attic, but these days she rarely touched it. Claire shook her pom poms hoping desperately that Frank doesn't get hurt.
Frank saw his girlfriend standing on the sidelines, Frank was tired of being targeted by bullies, so he decided to join the Smallville football team. Whitney was the quarterback. The Captain yelled "Hike!" and the linebackers crashed into each other once again, but this time his opponent tripped and fell. Frank ran ahead towards the field goal, Whitney threw him the ball and Frank caught it, this was the first time this happened in a game, the Tigers Line backers were closing in on his as he ran toward the field goal. The opposing players were going to tackle him, Frank ran with all his might, his chest hurt as his breath ran ragged in his raw lungs. Frank dodged one tackle as he looked for someone up ahead to throw the ball to. Unfortunately, there was no one. Another Tigers player was about to jump on him followed by two more, if only he could move his legs faster, then someone hit him, the wind was knocked out of him, but he held on to the ball. Frank staggered to his feet, he was standing in the end zone and the crowd was cheering. There was no sign of the football player who tackled him, but Frank had his suspicions, the nearest opposing football player was 15 yards back; Frank had a good idea of who helped him make a field goal. Frank looked at his blonde girlfriend in the cheerleading squad who waved and smiled at him with an all too innocent expression on her face.
The End
Okay, this is how I'm going to end this story. I don't feel like rehashing the entire Smallville series with Kara Zor El replacing Clark. What I would like to do is create an fan fiction anthology based on the premise of Kara Zor El (Claire Kent) replacing Clark Kent (Kal El). I may make a later contribution to this series, but for now I want to open it up, mainly because I want to see more stories, but I don't want to write all of them!
To give a background to help the future stories be consistent. This version of Smallville is a result of a time travel event back to Krypton, which basically prevented Kal El from being born, and it involved the original Supergirl from the original timeline. This super girl takes the place of Jor El, that would be Clark's Father, in that she sends her infant self to Earth in a spaceship that was similar to that which would have taken Kal El to Earth had he existed. In the spaceship is a crystal where the original Supergirl recorded her memories and her personality in a fashion that the original Jor El did in the original Smallville series. The original Supergirl, then sent the baby Kara's spaceship on its way to Earth times so as to arrive there at the same time and place that Clark's spaceship would have, and then she has plans to go back in time from there and restore the original timeline so she can return home to Earth, but the altered timeline without Clark Kent would continue to exist, so Kara decided to send this timeline's version of herself to Earth so there would be a superhero to meet the challenges that would enfold here. That is how I'm going to leave it. To all you future writers good luck, and have at it!
