Now let's get the Ball rolling, Shall We?
Chapter 8 Part 1: The Girls
Chloe uneasily watches as her cousin turns several shades of red, as she starred relentlessly at the tray of muffins.
"Oh, he is so dead!" Lois vexes, teeth clamped together.
"Lex really has it "in" for you, Cuz. Doesn't he?"
"Clo, you're really not helping me right now!"
"Oh right, sorry."
"Baldy got some balls...Errrr, I am not a muffin peddler!" She shouts, grabbing one of them and hurls it across the room.
"Really Lo, resorting back to pre-school...tantrums?" Chloe asked her arms crossed over her chest, giving Lois a disapproving look.
The muffin flies through the air, smacking hard into the face of one unsuspecting Lana as she emerges from the bathroom.
"OUCH!"
Lois and Chloe turns around to her squeal of pain, she holding the left side of her face where she was hit.
"So, are you happy now?" Chloe retorts, seeing Lana get bashed with breakfast.
"Very." Lois replies, a bemusing smirk gracing her lips. "God! They felt like bricks."
Chloe rolls her eyes and smiles, fighting the urge to laugh.
Lana walks over next to them, wiping off the bits of food that clung to her face."Guys really, If I was taking too long in the bathroom you could of just knocked." she saids, half jokingly.
Chloe stares at Lois, using her eyes commanding her to say she's "sorry".
Lois just cocks her brow, showing a "yeah right!" expression, refusing to apologize.
Chloe huffs, giving Lois a glare before looking at Lana. "Sorry about that it's just muffins aren't really our favorite meal, especially blue berry-banana kind." Chloe saids, giving Lois a final glare.
Lana looks from Lois to Chloe. "It's OK, just kinda warn somebody before you go target practicing with food again."
"I'm sure it's not going to happen...again." Chloe looking at Lois as she said this.
Lois folds her arms, and rolls her eyes. Ignoring Chloe's "warning" look.
"How the Hell did Lex know we were on this ship?" directing the question solely to Lana, judging by her behavior earlier. How she sorta panicked when she saw the room, Lois figured she knew something about it.
Lana paled, hoping they took her strange behavior as seasickness. "Um...Well, I told him"
"You did, what?" Chloe asks.
"I didn't think it was a big deal." Lana, meekly shrugs."He knew that I wasn't planing on going anywhere for Spring Break. So he suggested that I come along with him to Metropolis, but I declined since Chloe had already invited me to come along with you guys."
"So when does Lex offers you to come along with him, anywhere?" Chloe, tunning into reporter mode.
"Well, believe it or not Chloe, me and Lex are...sorta friends." taking some offense.
"Are you sure that's all you two are?"
"Chloe, we're just friends, nothing more, and no, I didn't know anything about the room. I was just as surprised as you two."she explains then realizing something.
"Is me getting stoned with muffins, because of Lex?"
"Something like that, it's a long story." Chloe looks at Lois who's about to hyperventilate."Lois, calm down."
"Clo, will you stop! I am calm!"
"Lois you are not calm, you're shouting."
"I'M CALM!"
"LOIS!"
"WHAT!"
"Lo..." trying a more settle tone.
"Clo, if you tell me to calm down one more time..."
"JUST DO IT!" Chloe shouts. "... Thanks Lo now I sound like a freaken "Nike' commercial."
"Are you two, OK?" Lana works the nerve up to ask.
"We're fine, Lois is just going through a rough couple of weeks. Since we're cousins, we help each other with the the load. So she freaks out and then I do...we're just really stressed."
"It's Clark." Lana sighs.
"WHERE!" Chloe screams and begins to panic, then realizes what she meant. She nervously chuckles. "Erm...Yeah."
Lana and Lois looked at her, wondering if all those FOTW articles and wall of weird she has, had gotten to her brain.
"Stop looking at me like that, I'm not crazy...I'm not the one pinning for Clark, and then is badly lying about it. For an expert in lying, you sure are terrible when it comes to him"
"No! We are ABSOLUTELY not, getting into that again!"
Chloe gives Lois a "look".
Lois rolls her eyes and flops onto the plush sofa. "I'm calm, ok...calm." holding her head into her hands, fingers rubbing her temples at the threat of a migraine coming on. "As long as there is no other surprises on this cruise. I'm just...great."
Now Chloe was the one to pail. How the hell was she going to tell her that Clark possibly, no not possibly, definitely was on board also. She was already over the edge because of him, thus Lois reason for dragging her and Lana. Well Chloe dragging Lana, along for this ride, far away from Smallville as one could get.
Only to have Lois', "Smallville" ,closer then what she knew. Boy, the Cosmos were sure trying to tell them something, now if only they would listen. Chloe hoped it was soon because they were driving her crazy, with the back and forth phone calls. Especially from Clark, those last two weeks were hell for her...
last week...
RRIIIINNNNNGGGGG...RRIINNNGGGG...
"God, nooo! Not again!" Chloe groaned, awaken by her cell. She picks it up, not bothering to check the ID, already knowing who it is.
"Clark! It's one o' clock in the morning!"
...Sorry, I figured you be up still, working on your report.
"I just finished, and was nicely falling asleep, and wait... If I'm not mistaken, I told you last time to only call me if it's an emergency. Lois does not count!"
...Chloe, I just want to know if you talked to her yet.
"Yes!"
...And?
"And,...I have a beep...hold on." she clicks over to the next line. "Hello?"
Chloe Anne Sullivan! Do not tell me "You-Know-Who" is on the other line!
"..."
CHLOE!
"Well, ya did said not to tell you"
Don't get cute with me, I'm the one who taught "you" remember.
"What are you two psychic! Can you guys sense each other or something!"
So the hopeless king of "Brooding" is on the other line. What does he want now?
"Errr...The same thing he wanted last night, and the night before that and every night for the past Flipping WEEK! YOU!"
Erm...
"Hold on, I have another beep...how the heck is that even possible!" clicking over. "Hello?...Clark!"
...I hung up and called back, I thought you forgot about me...She's on the other line, isn't she?
"Look, Clark I'm extreeeeemmmly tired. So just PUH LEAZZZEE call her yourself ."
...I've tried but she's avoiding me! She won't even look at me in class!
"Clark, Lois is a very complicated, person and I'm sure once she gets use to the ideal, she'll open up to you..."
HELL NO!...CHLOE YOU TRAITOR!
"LOIS!"
Et Tu, Clo!
"LOOK I CAN'T TAKE THIS!" she puts them both on the same line. "You guys want to know about each other so bad, then TALK! As for me I'm going back to bed...GOODNIGHT!"--------------
CHLOE!
...Lois?

sighs -------------
The other thousand or so calls weren't any better, and she couldn't remember the last time she gotten any sleep. Now the storm was brewing and Chloe had a bad feeling that this trip was going to be a nightmare.
Before Chloe could say anything to Lois, a knock came to the door, and then opened.
A Lady dressed in a white blouse and khakis, walked into the room along with a younger girl around their age.
"Hi, and welcome to The Royal. For a full whole week of Tropical fun in the sun." the lady said, standing in front of them.
While the other girl leaned against the wall, her arms folded across her chest, rolling her eyes as she spoke. "My name is Tracy, and this young lady with me is my daughter, Morgan. And we're the official welcome wagon for The Royal."
Lois, Chloe, and Lana just smiles, giving small waves to the duo.
"Now, to make your vacation less stressful and more enjoyable. We at the welcome committee have put together schedules according to the days' events." she said giving each girl a pamphlet.
"Inside you will see the event's in order of time, and location...Ooo, Big hula party by the pool tonight." She gives an excited fake, I-get-paid-for-doing-this squeal.
Her daughter drops her head down in embarrassment, and shakes it. "So I hope the room and and everything is to your liking?"
The girls nod their heads, not looking at her, but at Morgan behind her, making "disgusted" faces at her mom.
"OK, well that's everything. If you have any questions or need anything, please give me a call." taking a card from her blouse pocket and handing it to Chloe. "Or if you're just in need of a tour guide to show you around, I'm just a call away, so enjoy yourselves and have fun."
She turns around to leave holding open the door for her daughter. "I'll catch up in a minute." plastering a huge grin on her face. "I want to tell them of the other really fun things to do on the trip."
"OK, Chrissy don't be too long, we have lots more people to welcome in." she saids, before leaving shutting the door behind her.
As soon as she's gone from the room, Morgan drops the cheesy smile. "Thank god, finally a break from that woman!"
They give her a strange look as the "sweet and innocent" facade she putted on in front of her mother, pulls from her face and she turns into a "bad girl" before their eyes.
She strolls up to Chloe snatching the card from her hand, tearing it into pieces, and dropping them to the floor.
"Here.." she saids giving Chloe a new card.
"This is in case you guys want to have some real fun. Her way will have you feeling like you left from a 'Senior Citizen' cruise."she smirks.
"Also if you guys ever run into a rut, and in need of some money. Which by looking at your room doesn't seem like money is an issue."
"Oh, a friend had gotten this room for us." Chloe replied.
"Friend?" Lois sneers.
"Well someone we know?"
"Anyway, if you girls are ever in need of some quick cash. With those bodies and looks, there are ways for it to be done..."
They stare at her hesitantly, catching her drift.
"Oookay, if you girls aren't into that stuff. There are plenty of back screen games to try for cash."
"Back screen games?" Lana asks, and the other two curious to know as well.
Morgan cocks her brow up, and rolls her eyes. "They're unofficial activities of the cruise, mainly run by spoiled rich brats. With loads of cash and too much time on their hands. Think of "Truth or Dare" meets "Fear Factor", and you can imagine the games they come up with. So if you're interested, give me a call, anytime." She comes from off the wall and heads out of the door.
Lois and Lana goes over to Chloe's sides, reading the card in her hand. "Wild Girlz Connections." Chloe mocks. "In need of cash, don't mind shaking that..."
"...ass" Lois finished, seeing how she was hesitating.
They glared at her, she rolled her eyes. Chloe continues. "...not your game, then players field is for you. Tons of challenges, and all is green, ask for Chrissy (Morgan)...Yeah, really sounds copacetic."
Lois snatches the card from her hand and tucks it into her shirt. "Save you for later."
"Lo, you are seriously not thinking about going to those games"
"No, Chloe I was thinking about going out and shaking my bottom for a little extra dough, since I do it so well."
"Yeah the "Demi Moore" look, really suits you...but seriously."
"I'm not exactly basking in money, ped..." her eyes roll up"...working at the Talon. The tickets sure didn't leave me with much cash either. Besides it might be fun."
Chloe and Lana looked nervously at each other, some how they didn't expect these "games" to involve playstation...
