Well…here's the next chapter! I'm really nervous about this one. I hope that everyone likes it!

Chapter 5

BPOV

If someone would have told me yesterday that I would find out I wasn't alone on this planet I would have laughed in their face and probably said, "No shit! There are billions of people on this planet!"

If someone would have told me yesterday that I actually wasn't alone on this planet and there was another Kryptonian out there I probably would have fainted. Just a little inside information for you, it's almost impossible for me to faint; unless of course Kryptonite is involved somehow.

The icing on the proverbial "I don't believe a damn thing you are telling me cake", is that if someone told me I would be kissing said other Kryptonian. Although, I'm not entirely sure that I can classify this as kissing, this is so much more. I have never actually kissed anyone before. I was always too afraid of hurting them, but Edward Cullen is a kissing God! I'm pretty sure that all my coherent thoughts flew out the window the second his lips touched mine and as soon as his tongue started to caress mine I could have sworn I was flying.

The kiss was so unbelievable. I never thought that I would ever get the chance to experience something so wonderful. I was fully intent on standing here the rest of the night and exploring every crevice of his mouth, but I should have known that wouldn't happen. We both knew that if we kissed there was a very real possibility that we could be transported to another time and lo and behold it actually happened.

Now, here I am standing in my bedroom wearing a dress. A fucking dress of all things! I hate dresses. I'm still not sure how I let Edward talk me into wearing a dress for prom. Wait a minute! The last thing I knew we were kissing in his barn and now it's our graduation day? Why in the world would we only go this far into the future?

Think Bella! What could be happening today of all days that would prompt a trip to this time? Maybe I should backtrack and try to figure out what all happened this year first. It seems that I have all of my memories from the time I lost, so hopefully I can figure something out.

Okay! Let's see here. After the kiss we talked about bullshit stuff for a little while before I headed home. We decided to keep the two stones we did have apart because we didn't know what would happen if we combined them, but we did start searching for the third piece; and had no luck.

Numerous meteor freaks tried to cause all sorts of problems around the town, which we fixed as soon as possible. Edward took me on a wonderful first date to the mountains. We were way up above the tree line and had a romantic picnic. It was the perfect day. We almost got the third stone.

Lex and Lana Luthor had been searching for the stones after they overheard Lionel talking about them. They decided that if anyone deserved to have all the knowledge of the universe it was them. Somehow they found a trail that led them to some sort of temple in China. Unbeknownst to them Edward and I followed to see if we could find the stone before they did. It wasn't like we couldn't steal the stone from them if they found it first, but it would raise a lot less questions this way.

What none of us were expecting was for there to be another person already there trying to find the hiding spot. Jason Teague, Edward's football coach, was already at the temple doing his best to uncover the location. We all searched for a very long time to try to locate it, but it was all to no avail. Eventually, aggravated and disheartened Edward and I made our way back home and tried to figure out other possible locations for the stone.

I still have a really odd feeling that one of them has the stone and they just aren't telling. I'm sure they are hoping to find the other two first before announcing that they are now the one to hold the key to knowledge.

Is there anything else that I may have missed this year that could explain why I'm here? The only other exciting thing to happen this year was that I was possessed by one of the girls from school. Somehow, and I have a feeling Alice is behind this, I was nominated for Prom Queen against the one girl that thought she had it in the bag. Well, apparently no one really liked her all that much and for some reason I ended up winning. She was pissed and somehow took over my body and was going to use me to kill everyone in the school. Thank god Edward stopped her before that could happen!

So nothing has happened this year that I can think of to tip me off. I guess I will just have to go with the flow and wait and see. I'm sure that Edward is standing in his loft right now trying to figure out how to tie his tie and going over the past year just as I have been. Right now there is nothing I can do though, I need to get to the school so that I can graduate.

EPOV

Standing here waiting for the principal to call my name so that I can get my diploma is giving me way too much time to think. Bella and I have been discussing all the things that have happened this year that we missed, but still have the memories of doing. I have to say that I am more than thankful that we haven't had sex yet. I would be an all new level of mad, one that hasn't been thought of yet. I know that sounds horrible, but hey I'm an 18 year old guy and I'm horny. It doesn't help that Bella chose to wear a really short, low-cut, dark blue, dress for graduation.

I am more than nervous about what could be happening today. I know that we only time travel while kissing if there is something that we must take care of on that date. Surely our wonderful, biological fathers wouldn't send us here just to have us graduate. No! There has to be more to it than that. I just know it.

"Bella? What do you want to do when we get done with this shit? We have been together for eight months now and I was thinking that maybe we could take a trip and have some time alone, just the two of us. What do you think?" I was honestly scared shitless to ask her. I'm sure that she could detect the hidden meaning in my wanting us to go away together.

"Hmm…I don't know. It would depend on where you were thinking about taking us, I guess. Because if my memories are correct I seem to recall us going to a swimming party and you almost getting into a fight when some guy thought it would be funny to grab my ass and make an extremely inappropriate comment about what he would like to do to me. So if you want us to go to a beach, I'm pretty sure that my answer would have to be, no! I don't need you to go to jail for something like that, especially when I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself." Bella just smiled and winked at me before walking forward a little further in the line of other graduates.

"Well, damn Bella, tell me how you really feel about me trying to stick up for you and take care of what's mine." Oh shit! Foot meet mouth! Mouth meet foot!

"What did you just say? Just because we are dating and happen to be the only two like us on this planet does not make me your property Edward Cullen. I think that when we get done here it would be a really good idea if we had a long talk." She huffed angrily.

Well, shit! I didn't mean to make her mad with my comment. I was just trying to let her know that I like having a girlfriend that I can take care of and stick up for. I know that she can take care of herself, but it makes me feel good to be able to do it for her. I guess some major groveling and damage control is in order now.

"Babe, come on! You know that I didn't mean it like that. I know that you are independent and can take care of yourself. Most of the time you end up saving the day because you actually think through what needs to be done instead of rushing head first. I really am sorry and I didn't mean it like that at all. But to answer your question, I was thinking that maybe we could go to the mountains again. This time do a little sightseeing, go skiing or snowboarding, and spend an inordinate amount of time in front of a roaring fireplace. Would that be something that you might want to do with me?" I'm hoping that the husky tone to my voice as I finished my little speech will be enough to get her thinking very seriously about it. Also, it may just get her thinking about doing other things that involve just the two of us, no clothes, and a lot of fun.

"You know, one of these days I'm going to figure out how to become immune to the Cullen charm, your puppy dog eyes, and your voice. For now though, I think that I am going to thoroughly enjoy our trip. Oh and by the way, I wasn't really mad. I just wanted to see what kind of bullshit you could spew to make me feel better. It appears that you are getting better at sweet talking Mr. Cullen. And stop zoning out and pay attention, you are up next." With that she turned back around in her line and proceeded to ignore me.

It was finally my turn to walk across the stage and I couldn't be more glad and sad to see my high school days ending. I did have a great time here and I will always have fond memories of the place, but I am really excited to see what the future will hold with Bella by my side.

"Edward Anthony Cullen." The principal bellowed into the microphone.

I took my first step onto the outdoor stage that had been set-up for the ceremony feeling the tension that had been building all day just melt away. I had been uptight about something bad happening today for no reason. Everything was turning out just perfectly! I finished walking across the stage and received my diploma. I could hear my parents and Bella's yelling from the audience.

As I made my way off the stage I couldn't help but remember Bella and I sitting both sets of our parents down to have the talk with them. My parents were a little less concerned at the prospect that I wouldn't be alone anymore than hers were. Of course after having a pretty serious discuss about the birds and the bees with my dad I realized why that was. I couldn't actually get pregnant and she could. I guess that the Swans thought that I was going to knock their baby girl up and then runoff.

It took quite a while for them to actually accept me and our relationship, but both sets of our parents have been huge supporters in our relationship thus far. I just better make sure that I don't do anything to screw it up.

"Son, if I ever find out that you have done something to hurt my little girl, I don't care how minor it is. I will find a way to shoot you and make it hurt. If I can't find a way for that to happen, let's just say that I'm sure that I can find some green Kryptonite and make you wish you were dead." Charlie fucking Swan said that to me after we first told our parents everything. I may be faster than anything else on this planet, but I'm pretty sure he would find a way to make his threat come to fruition.

"Isabella Marie Swan." The principal bellowed again into the microphone. Does he know how to talk like a normal person at all?

Bella made her way onto the stage to accept her diploma and that's when all hell broke loose. Three huge Army Humvees pulled onto the grass of the school. One of the men hopped down from the large vehicle, pulled out a bullhorn and delivered a message that sent everyone into a panic.

"Ladies and gentleman, in approximately two hours a meteor shower is expected to hit Smallville. We are issuing a state of emergency for the town and county. Everyone needs to leave the area immediately! If anyone does not have transport out of town we have several vehicles available, for everyone else please gather any belongings that are irreplaceable and leave immediately."

Over the noise and confusion I heard my mother's heartbroken voice in the background. "This can't happen again Carlisle. I know that we got Edward that day so many years ago, but this time he isn't coming down with them. He could get hurt, and so could Bella! We have to get them to leave town with us."

I rushed over to my parents just as my dad was enveloping my mom in a hug. "Esme, I don't think that we are going to have much choice here. Edward and Bella are the only one's capable of helping those in need if somehow things go wrong. We have to trust that they can do this and that they will come back to us.

I didn't realize that Bella was right behind me until I felt her hand in mine. I looked down at her pain filled expression and pulled her closer to me, wrapping her in my arms. Charlie and Renee were standing right next to my parents agreeing that Bella and I needed to do something, even though they would prefer we didn't.

"Mom, dad, Charlie, Renee, we know that you don't want us to stick around. There is a good chance that the meteors that are headed here are from our home planet and they could very well kill us, but for some reason I know that this is our fault. We have to go to the caves and talk to Jor-El. It may be the only way to find out why this is happening and to figure out a way to stop it." The words kept catching in my throat. I couldn't bear the thought of never seeing any of them again.

"Please have faith that we can do this. As long as Edward and I stick together there isn't much that we can't accomplish. Do us a favor though and stick together. Load up whatever things you think you may need and please get out of town as soon as possible. We love you all so much and we will see you again. I promise!" Bella spoke with such conviction that if I didn't know her any better I would have almost believed it! I could tell though, deep down, she was scared to death and didn't know if we would keep that promise or not.

Releasing each other we finally moved into our respective parents' embraces. I wanted to break down and cry at the thought of never seeing them again, but I knew right now wasn't the time. I needed to be strong. I needed to be the man my father always knew I could be.

"You can do this son. Figure out what happened and then come back to us." My dad said, tears running down his face.

My mother could only hug me tighter and kiss my cheek. Backing away from them I grabbed Bella's hand and began to walk away.

"Bella, I'm going to go back to the farm and get the key. I will meet you at the caves as soon as I can. Also, if we are going to have to save the day I need to change clothes. I can't really be taken seriously in this get-up, now can I?" I had to get that small barb in there. I knew she loved the way I was dressed right now. Khaki dress pants, a red, button down shirt, and black tie.

"Now really isn't the time for jokes 'Smallville'. Just hurry up and go and I will see you there. I have a bad feeling that this is because of something we didn't do. I just can't put my finger on what yet. So hurry up and come back to me! I love you!"

"I love you too! So much!" I replied. I quickly wrapped my arms around her waist and brought her as close to me as possible before crashing my lips into hers. The kiss didn't last long, but there was so much love in it that for a moment I felt like I could fly. Breaking away I looked down and realized that we were floating about a foot off the ground.

We quickly dropped back down to Earth hoping that no one saw our little slip up. Thankfully everyone was too busy running to pay any attention to us. I gave Bella one last chaste kiss before disappearing.

I made it back to the farm, changed, grabbed the key and the stone, and made it to the caves in record time. I don't think that I have ever run so fast in my life. Bella was waiting anxiously for me, pacing up and down in front of the wall where the octagonal key would go. The slot, after placing the key inside, would allow us to speak with Jor-El and figure out what was going on.

I just hope that whatever it is it isn't too late for us to fix it.

Sorry to just leave it there, but the next chapter will have quite a bit of dialogue between our favorite couple and Jor-El. Please leave me a review and let me know what you think!
