Disclaimer: I don't own Smallville… nope… I just own this idea. ;) 8-)

A/N: Wow! Chapter 3 got quite a response… I'm glad! All of your replies let me know that there are people out there actually reading my story and enjoying it. :) So far, classes have been okay and I hope they won't take too much outta me. I'm taking: Physics, Biochemistry, History, and an Organic Chemistry Lab – so that's a lot. Smallville, Castle, Grey's Anatomy, and Desperate Housewives are definitely gonna be saving me from going insane. ;)

Anyway… you probably don't really care much about that. You just want to get to the next chapter and see what's happening with Lane and Kent back in 2011. Well, I'm not gonna stop you. :P Please read on… Chapter 4 is about six and a half pages on Word, so it's a good amount. 8-)

Enjoy Chapter 4 of Switch…

Previously in Switch...

"Is everything okay?," Lana walked right up to him, putting her hand on his arm. He took a step back. Chloe and Pete noticed. Clark shrugged, "Everything's fine, Lana. Just a little family dilemma we're trying to figure out."

"Okay," Lana said, "Thanks then. I guess I'll catch up with you guys later?"

"Yeah," Chloe waved goodbye as Lana walked out and Pete gave a small wave. Chloe looked to Clark, "What was that?"

"What was what?," Clark didn't see anything wrong.

"You just completely shrugged Lana off! I think you could've made that horse-back riding thing into a date," Pete said.

"What for?," Clark said.

"Wow, clearly things change in the future," Pete observed. Chloe smiled. Could that mean she'd have a chance?

"So, do you guys have any other theories on what could have possibly happened to cause me and Lois to switch places with our past selves?," Clark changed the subject.

"None," Chloe shrugged and then added sarcastically, "Unless it was magic."

"Magic?," Clark thought and then widened his eyes, remembering Zatanna's engagement gift.

Now in Switch...

Chapter 4

2011

"The future?," Kent took the calendar down, "This has got to be some sort of dream."

"Well if it is, I'm having it with you," Lane snatched the calendar from him, "Looks authentic to me."

"This is impossible," Kent shook his head as he put the calendar back up.

"Apparently not," Lane stated, "Chloe always told me this town was weird. I just never thought that time travel was possible."

"Neither did I," Kent said, "We've got to figure out what happened. I gotta find my parents."

"Well here's a newsflash, Clarkie," Lane stopped him from leaving the kitchen, "If we're in the future, that means we're both older. You're probably not living with your parents anymore."

"I hadn't thought about that," Kent realized, "So what should we do?"

"You're probably still in contact with Chloe. Maybe she'll know something," Lane suggested and picked up one of their cell phones, "Let's see who's on the contact list."

Kent took the phone from her and started scrolling through names, "I don't even recognize the first couple of names."

"They're probably people you haven't met yet," Lane theorized, "Just see if Chloe is on there and dial her."

"That's what I was going to do," Kent said as he highlighted Chloe's name on his phone.

"Well it took you long enough," Lane folded her arms. Kent rolled his eyes. This girl was insufferable. He put the phone to his ear, "It's ringing."

"Good," Lane said and grabbed the phone, pressing a button on the side, "Put it on speakerphone."

"What are you-?," Kent tried to pull the phone away from her, but she had already managed to put it on speaker.

"Hey, Clark," Chloe answered the phone.

"Chloe?," Kent was relieved to hear a familiar voice.

"What's up, Clark?," Chloe asked, "And whatever it is, can it wait like two more minutes?"

"Why would I have to wait two minutes?," Kent asked.

"Because in two minutes Ollie and I will be pulling up at your farm. In fact, I can already see it," Chloe said, sitting up, "See you in a few."

"She hung up," Kent stated the obvious.

"Wow, thanks. I never would've figured out what that dial tone meant if you hadn't told me," Lane remarked.

Kent rolled his eyes and then it hit him, "Who's Ollie?"

"Maybe it's her future boyfriend or something or one of your mutual friends," Lane shrugged. She paused a minute, "Do you think she'll believe us? That we're not in the right time?"

"I think so," Kent nodded, "She does love the weird and unexplained."

"Chloe's hair is longer from the last time I saw her," Lane was looking out the window. Oliver and Chloe just pulled up, "Of course, the last time I saw her, she was in seventh grade before she moved to Podunk."

"This town is not Podunk," Kent rolled his eyes at her, a feature he'd been doing a lot this morning.

"Whatever," Lane stepped away from the window as Oliver and Chloe got out of the car.

"I wonder why Clark called you," Oliver said.

"I don't know," Chloe shrugged, "I guess it's a good thing we were driving by to give them info on some league stuff."

"I still don't understand why you want to bother Clark with it. We can handle it," Oliver shook his head, "Their complete focus should be on getting ready for their wedding."

"We all agreed that league missions were fair game until Mrs. Kent came back from Washington," Chloe slapped him with a folder. They reached the door and walked inside.

"Hey guys," Oliver greeted them.

"Hey, uh, Ollie," Kent said, figuring that this must be Oliver since he arrived with Chloe.

"Before we get to whatever you wanted to say, can I show you some league stuff?," Chloe motioned to the folder.

"League stuff?," Kent furrowed his eyebrows.

"I told her we shouldn't even bother you with anything since you two are getting ready for your wedding in a month," Oliver said with his arms folded.

"Our wedding?," Lane poked herself in the chest.

Chloe closed the folder, growing concerned, "Are you two okay?"

"Not really," Kent shook his head.

"What's the matter?," Oliver asked, taking a step forward.

"For starters, yesterday was 2003 and yesterday I never even met him," Lane jerked her thumb in Kent's direction.

Chloe and Oliver looked to each other worried and then back at Lane and Kent. Oliver licked his lips, "You wanna run that by me again?"

"We're in the future," Kent said, "Either that or this is the strangest dream I've ever had."

"Are you sure this just isn't some crazy case of amnesia?," Chloe tried, "I mean, we all know how you've been with amnesia. Right, Lois?"

"I have no clue what you're talking about," Lane said.

"How did you know my name if you've never met me before?," Oliver folded his arms.

"Chloe said on the phone that she was arriving with Ollie. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that that's you," Lane retorted.

"You two look the same though," Chloe tilted her head.

"Maybe our minds are just from the past," Kent shrugged.

"Then where are the minds of our Lois and Clark?," Oliver asked.

"We must've switched somehow," Lane shrugged and looked to Chloe, "I guess all those stories you told me about all the weird stuff happening in this town were true after all, huh?"

"What do you guys think caused this?," Oliver asked.

"I don't know. Nothing out of the ordinary happened last night," Kent shrugged and looked to Lane at his side, "How about you? Anything weird?"

"Other than this morning? No," Lane shook her head.

"Why don't we go to Watchtower to see what we can find out," Chloe suggested.

"What's Watchtower?," Kent tilted his head to the side.

2003

"Magic, that's it," Clark said to himself, but Chloe and Pete still heard him.

"You think magic is responsible for this?," Chloe asked incredulously, "I hate to break this to you, Clark, but even after all the weirdness we've seen, I have to say that I don't believe in magic."

"There is such a thing as magic," Clark said, "It's real, believe me."

"Okay, so if magic is the culprit, what are you going to do to get back to normal?," Chloe started, "You gonna mutter a few 'hocus pocus' spells and bam, you're switched again?"

"No," Clark glared at her, "But I have to get back to the farm as soon as I can."

"What about the rest of the school day?," Chloe put her hand on his arm, stopping him from leaving the room.

"I think I'll be okay," Clark started for the door again, but Pete stopped him, "Not if you don't want to change anything."

"What?," Clark turned around.

"You don't want to change anything in this time, right?," Pete asked, "Well, how do you know you missed today? Knowing you, you were probably in class today… by leaving, you'd be changing something."

"He makes a good point," Chloe agreed.

"Yeah, he does," Clark sighed, "This school day better be the fastest one in history. I need to get back home."

"You could call Lois to tell her you think magic did this," Pete suggested.

"Good idea," Clark got out his cell phone and dialed home.

"Anything unusual up in his room?," Jonathan asked when he saw Lois come back down the stairs.

"Not that I could see," Lois said, "Of course, I don't know what his room was like in this year, but nothing popped out at me."

"Do you have any idea of what could have possibly caused this to happen?," Martha asked once again, "Could it have been meteor rock?"

"No, it wasn't kryptonite," Lois shook her head and started biting her thumbnail, "I can't think of anything."

"I'm sure you two will figure it out," Jonathan assured her. Martha nodded in agreement and then winced for a second, putting her hand on her stomach.

"You okay, Mom?," Lois was concerned.

Martha looked up at the name. She wasn't used to that name coming out of anyone else's mouth but Clark's, "I'm fine. I just think this little one may have kicked."

"You're pregnant?," Lois' eyebrows disappeared into her bangs.

"Yes," Martha started growing worried, "Why… uh, you didn't know? Does something happen?"

Before Lois could answer, the phone rang and she ran to answer it in spite of the fact she didn't really belong there, "Hello?"

"Lois? It's me, Clark," Clark replied.

"Everything okay, Smallville?," Lois asked.

"I think I may have figured out what happened," Clark said.

"Yeah? I'll put you on speakerphone so your parents can hear too," Lois said and held a button down, "Okay, go ahead, Clark."

"I think it was magic," Clark started.

"Magic?," Jonathan sounded as skeptical as Chloe.

"Why do you think it was magic?," Lois asked.

"Lois… did you by any chance open Zatanna's gift?," Clark already knew the answer and Jonathan and Martha caught the drift when they saw Lois' expression.

"Maybe," Lois bit her lip.

"Lo-is," Clark chided, "I already know you opened it. What was it? I know it was some sort of wish."

"It was a watch," Lois answered, "It was engraved to me. It was so beautiful so I put it on right before you came back from your save."

"Is it still on your wrist?," Clark asked, a hint of hope in his voice.

Lois looked at her empty wrist, "Unfortunately, it's not on my wrist. It'd still be on my wrist in the future though."

"Perfect," Clark sighed, "This should be fun."

"Nothing we can't figure out. We've been through crazier situations than this," Lois said.

"Name one," Clark wasn't buying it.

"Okay, so we've been through a lot of crazy situations, but not as crazy as this one. Don't worry though, I'm sure everything will be fine. We have our wedding to get to," Lois tried to make him feel better.

"Right," Clark said, "I'll come straight home as soon as the bell rings. I have to stay to make sure I don't change anything."

"Or give away future information more than we already have," Lois added.

"Exactly," Clark nodded.

"Hey, Smallville," Lois started before he could hang up. She looked to Martha. She knew she was going to regret this question, but she had to ask. The look of uncertainty and worry on Martha's face was too much – she had to ask.

"Yeah?," Clark signaled her to continue.

"How come you never told me your mom was ever pregnant?," Lois asked. Clark was completely silent on the other end. She gave him a moment, "Clark?"

"That's a touchy subject, Lois," Clark replied. The crack in his voice was evident, "I'll tell you in private later."

"Will there be anything that goes wrong or something?," Martha needed to know, "I think it'd be better if I prepared myself."

"I'm sorry, Mom," he was truly sorry, "but I can't tell you."

"We understand, Clark," Jonathan put a hand on Martha's shoulder, giving her reassurance. They knew that they shouldn't know too much about the future and prodding him wasn't right either. Whatever happened was going to happen and there was nothing they could do about it.

"We'll see you after school, Smallville," Lois said.

"Right," Clark said, "I love you... see you later."

They both hung up. Lois looked to Martha, "I didn't mean to be shocked, I just… I-I didn't know."

"It's okay, Lois," Martha gave her a small smile, "This pregnancy was a gift and I'll accept anything that happens."

"At least you know what caused the switch now," Jonathan thought it wise to change the subject.

"Yeah," Lois nodded, "The only problem is, the key to getting back is in the future."

TBC

So, it was a little touchy to go into Martha's pregnancy, but I always wanted to know how Lois would react to finding out about it. Since they never did it on the show, I thought it'd be okay for me to tackle it. I hope I handled it okay. :\

Now, Lois and Clark know that it was the watch – but the watch is in the future. Looks like it's up to Lane and Kent to switch them back… but how will they be able to do it? You'll have to keep reading to find out. ;) :P
