Please Read and Review, Thanks!
present day with Lois and Chloe...
"My God, how long does it take to board a vessel that's bigger than 2 football fields." Lois was about ready to explode.
"Well, "sleeping beauty"." Chloe taking a swig from her water bottle," if someone was out of bed sooner, we would have gotten here earlier"
"Hey, it's not my fault my damn alarm didn't go off, and you know my brain doesn't function properly until pass noon." grabbing the bottle Chloe handed to her, and downed some of the water.
Wishing badly that it was a nice hot cup of coffee, but with the weather so hot and burning the mess out of their skin, water was the only thing they were craving for at that moment.
"Lo, the alarm was going off, when I arrived at your place." taking back her bottle and soothing her skin with the rest of the cold water.
"It was?" she asked confused. "I kept wondering why in my dreams, Smallville was making this awful beeping noise every time he talked. Like he isn't annoying enough when he just talks."
Chloe raised her brow, a smirk crossing her lips. "So you're dreaming about him too, huh?"
Lois suddenly regretting what she said, they had just gotten off the subject of Clark Kent, and damn how he just snakes his way back into her head, and out of her mouth.
"Chloe?..."
"Yes?"
"What time is it?" she trying to get of f the topic of the boy wonder and remembering something.
"What?...Why?" Chloe puzzled by her switch of subjects.
Lois grabs Chloe's arm, pulling her wrist that bore the watch, into view.
"It's 10:15, God I can't believe I'm up this early."
"So you almost pull my arm out of it's socket, just so you can see how early you're up?" Chloe still confused by her actions.
"No, "Sherlock Holmes", wasn't Lana suppose to meet us here around 9:30?" giving Chloe back her arm.
"Yeah, so she's running a little late." Chloe still not seeing what she was getting at.
"A little late," Lois asked, rolling her eyes, "Chloe for someone so insight to everything you sure are blind."
"Hey, I can say the same thing about you with Clar..."
"Whatever. Look, Lana has the tickets remember and we're only like about 200 people away from showing our boarding passes."
"Oh right, I forgot." Chloe said almost in panic.
"There is no way in hell, am I going to the back of this line because we don't have our tickets."
"I'm gonna call see where she's at." Chloe digging through her purse, then dialing her number.
After a few seconds they jump in surprise at the ringing sound behind them, they quickly turned around to see Lana standing there phone in hand.
Dress in, what a shocker, a light and dark pink hibiscus print top and a light pink mini skirt, dragging her pink wheeled luggage and pink carrying bag, even her damn Nextel phone was a custom glittery hot pink color.
How much pink is it humanely healthy to have, Lois thought to herself. God I know she likes the color but how much of it could one person own. She better hope she's never around a cotton candy machine when it explodes, they'll never find the poor girl.
Lois didn't hate Lana, but then again she didn't, not, not like her as well. Lana sure didn't do anything personally to Lois to make her dislike her, it was just that Lana played the victim role too much around Clark, that had him leashed to her like some pet.
In Lois' eyes she was just some pitiful excuse to the female race, helpless "everybody look at me" plastic Barbie doll. The helpless pink princess, pink fairy, pink, pink, endless erupting mountain of pink, all the pinkness that's in the world pink, pink Barbie doll, as Lois dubbed her.
The only reason why she even putted up with her was because her Cuz is good friends with her, and like Chloe said, "She had no plans, and I just couldn't not invite her after I told her about our plans." Plus Lois felt she had to give the girl a chance, with her saving her life and all. Not that, she couldn't have totally wasted that guy herself.
So she got to know her, she wasn't all that bad, a few things about Lana bothered her though, and her constant stringing Clarkie boy along giving him the false hope of the possibility of them still having a chance of being a couple in the future. Living in a little white cottage some where. White picket fence, a couple kids, a dog, definitely not Shelby though, Lois would rather steal that dog and get 12 needles every 3 weeks to control her allergies, then to let that poor mutt go through the pink torture for the rest of what little life it would have. Well like she said, Lana's constant stringing him along, definitely putted her in Lois's top 10, not hated, but disliked chart.
"Well, I'm here." Lana said after hearing their conversation and seeing their jolted reaction.
"How long have you been standing there?" Chloe asked, her heart rate returning back to normal.
"I just arrived, I was about to say hi when my phone vibrated."
They gave her a confused look. "Which it does on it's first ring." she explained, they nodded.
"So I went to answer it, but then it ways you guys."
"OK, so do you have the tickets?" Lois asked, not really caring for her explanation.
Lana fished through her purse, do I have the say the color, you should know it by now if not, then please think about getting that Cat scan. She pulled out the wide, colorful Cruise line "Royal" tickets. "Sure do."
"Great!" Lois said in relief.
"What happen, what took ya so long to get here." Chloe asked.
"The traffic was terrible. Some guy in a 18 wheeler, lost control, it turned on it's side blocking all four lanes. Police had to direct the traffic over the grass to get everyone around the truck."
"Oh my God, was anyone hurt. What am I saying are you OK?" Chloe asked in concerned, and cursing her luck for not being around the action.
Chloe such the reporter, always had to be where the news was.
"No everyone was fine, including the driver, and as you can see I'm great."
Chloe and Lois sighed at the good news, glad everyone including Lana was fine.
"Strangest thing though, just when it happen I was a few cars away. I could of sworn I seen someone or something speeding so fast it was like a blur, helping the guy out of the truck, I mean he was really moving."
Chloe's heart leaped in her chest at those words. She could only think of two people, Bart or Clark. Bart did mention he was going to take...well steal, was what he really said. Steal Clark away to spring break, he never did contacted her to say if he was successful or not or where they were to go. Could they actually be in the area or even yet going on the same cruise as they. God, she could hear Lois screaming now.
"A guy moving so fast, just leaving a blur in view. Next thing you know you'll say he flew away." Lois sneered.
If only she knew, Chloe thought. She knew two guys who were super fast and Clark just started to learn how to fly last summer, well hover was more like it. He never went over 7 feet off the ground, him being afraid of heights and the fact he wasn't really good at it yet.
"Um...did you see the guy's face." Chloe asked scared that Clark might have blown his cover.
"No like I said, He moved so fast that all you really saw was just a blur, and at least I think it was a guy. All I know is that I saw dark brown hair, and I think a red top and blue shorts." Lana replied kinda annoyed that Lois didn't believe her.
Clark! It was him, he was the only one she knew who fancy the colors red and blue as much as he did . It sure wasn't her Bart...wait did she just referred to Bart as hers, as being possessive. God, this denial thing from Lois must be catchy. Denial...please she was so not Lois, she knew what her feelings were to-wards Bart. They were just friends nothing more, right?
"Wow it sounds like some..."
"...story." Lois finished for her.
Chloe glared at her. "It sounds like something from Smallville, only we're not there."
"I know guys, this sounds really strange, but I'm positive of what I saw, at least what I think I saw."
"Maybe it's just the adrenaline getting to your head." Lois smirked.
Chloe jabbed her in her side, but after thinking decide to use Lois' ideal. "Yeah, Lois is right maybe it was just the adrenaline, you know...um over exerted your perception." Chloe having no ideal what she was talking about, and despite her trying hard not to, but it showed so on her face.
Lois just looked at her like she was strange or stupid, but seeing as how her Cuz was good at writing articles and use to run The Torch at Smallville High, she crossed the stupid part out of her head. But seeing as she did grow up in the Weirds-ville town leaned heavily on strange and had a feeling she was hiding something. The future reporter, instincts brewing in her, begging for release.
Lana also looked at Chloe like she had a couple screws missing on the churning wheels that functioned inside her brain.
"Um... yeah maybe that's what happened." Lana not really believing it though.
Lois broke through the awkward silence that threaten to build up wrapped her arm around Chloe's shoulder.
"Well if that's all the abnormal to report today. I do believe, ladies we have a date with a ship cruise filled with an endless buffet of guys and alcohol."
"Now, that's beginning to sound like my Cuz." Chloe said wrapping her arms around Lois' and Lana's shoulders.
Lana laughed. "To Spring Break" she yelled.
"To Spring Break!" Chloe and Lois yelled back.
"This ladies, is going to be a week that none of us will ever forget. One for the History books, Clo?" smile beaming across her face. The other two girls beaming as well.
"One for the History books," Chloe agreed.
"One for the books." Lana agreed as well.
They marched forward a little bounce in their step, still entwined walking as the line steadily moved on.
Little did they know how true those words were...
with Clark and Bart...
Clark was fidgeting around, he couldn't help it. He was nervous about who Bart's friend was and why he didn't want Bart to tell him who he was, till he got here.
"Man, will you calm down, you're making me nervous and I'm the who knows who he is." watching as Clark paced around in what little room they had.
"Well you can't exactly blame me, Bart. You told some complete stranger about my powers, and yours too, lets not forget"
"Clark, he's one of us. A guy out there just trying to find his way in this world. Trying to find where he belongs. He's a good person, and he uses his abilities to help others, he really made me take a long look at the errors of my ways, just like you did." Bart trying get Clark to trust him.
Clark felt kinda ashamed by Bart's words, here he was judging someone before he even met him. But his parents always taught him to be careful when it came to his powers. You never know who anyone really is, he just hope Bart was right about this guy.
"Bart, I'm..."
"Hey, don't sweat it Kent. I know you're just trying to be careful and you're just concerned, but really man, there's nothing to worry about. The guy is cool so just chill, alright." he said giving Clark an encouraging smile, and holding his fist out to be pound.
"Alright," Clark smiled, pounding his fist.
The joy didn't stay long in Clark's spirit as he heard the voice of a familiar someone behind them.
"Hey Bro, didn't expect on seeing you again." the voice said.
Clark turned to see someone he didn't expect to see again either, but there he stood.
"You!..." Clark uttered in complete shock, him being the last person he thought Bart would have run in to.
"You guys know each other?" Bart asked, unsure of the situation.
"Yeah, you can say we're pretty good pals." giving his seductive sideways smile," By the way Clark, how's Lois...?"
