Disclaimer: I don't own Smallville… you'll just have to keep looking.

A/N: Made it! I wanted to update earlier today, but some real life college stuff came up that I had to take care of. Now I can update and then afterward (tonight and pretty much all of tomorrow), I have to do homework and study. *rolls eyes* :P. I'm glad you guys liked the last chapter and I hope you'll enjoy the next one. It's only 5 and half pages on MS Word… I think that's enough for right now. ) Oh, and so you guys know, all that's left of this story is this chapter, chapters 7-9, and the epilogue… just thought you'd want to be reminded. :)

Enjoy Chapter 6 of Switch…

Previously in Switch...

"That's it," Lane said, "Sounds like future me wanted to spend some quality time with her fiancée."

"So Zatanna's watch took it literally and sent the two of them back to a time where Clark wouldn't have to…," Chloe started and then stopped. It was really hard to not give any future information away.

"To?," Lane nodded for her to continue.

"To have to work too much," Chloe finished lamely.

"Maybe you might just have to wish for everything to go back to normal," Oliver hypothesized and handed the watch back to Lane who put it back on her wrist.

"Something tells me it's not going to be that simple," Kent said.

"You always a Debbie-Downer?," Lane asked.

"No, I just like to be realistic," Kent replied, "And after all the crazy situations I've been in, I've learned that nothing is simple."

"We'll find out soon enough," Oliver said, "We're nearing our destination. Let's hope Zatanna will be able to shine some light on the situation."

Now in Switch...

Chapter 6

2003

"Wait?," Clark asked and sat down next to Lois, "I'm not so sure I can do that. I need to do something."

"It sounds like that's all you can do right now," Jonathan said, "You said that this was all a result of magic. Is there a reason you were switched to this specific point in time?"

"None that I can think of," Clark shrugged, "I barely remember Lois' wish to be honest. Do you remember?"

"I don't remember it verbatim, but I do remember that I just wanted to be with you in a time where you didn't have to rush off to save the day," Lois replied.

"That must've been it," Martha said, "A time… the wish must've taken it literally and you two were sent to a time where…"

"I don't have to run off to save the day because I didn't have to," Clark finished his mom's line of thought.

"So if our past selves figure this out, how are they going to know it was Zee?," Lois asked.

"I'm sure Ollie will know. After all, she gave us her present right after his," Clark said, "And he's got a lot of resources. I'm sure they're getting close to switching us back."

"Why don't you two enjoy this down-time?," Jonathan suggested, "It sounds to me like you could really use it. Your mom and I could go out and you two could have the house to yourselves for the evening."

"But, we-we wouldn't want to throw you out," Lois objected, "I mean, technically, I'm not supposed to have even met Smallville yet and…"

"Nonsense, Lois," Martha put her hand up, "It's been a little while since Jonathan and I got to go out on a night on the town without having to worry about Clark at home alone."

"You worried about me home alone?," Clark never knew that before.

"Not in the physical sense, son. We know you can take care of yourself," Jonathan clarified, "but we were just worried the way parents worry about their children. We aren't always able to see what you're doing or know if you get into trouble. You can get into a whole different kind of trouble – so we worry a little more."

"It's a little different situation tonight, don't you think?," Martha smiled.

"What about dinner?," Lois asked.

"I don't think Clark would object over ordering some pizza," Jonathan patted Clark on the back. Clark looked on at Jonathan with a longing smile – he really missed his dad.

"Enjoy your evening, you two," Martha said, "Your father and I will be back late."

"You going to Metropolis?," Lois wondered.

"Yeah, it'll be nice to go out on a date again with the woman I love," Jonathan held Martha's hand.

"I'd suggest some restaurants, but I don't know if they even exist yet," Lois shrugged and everybody laughed.

"Enjoy your evening," Jonathan smiled and let his wife exit the house first.

"'Night, Dad," Clark smiled and Jonathan nodded a reply, closing the door behind them.

"You know, after the lecture we got when we first met about showering… I wasn't expecting this," Lois slipped her arm through Clark's.

"Time's change," Clark kept staring at the door where his dad had just left through.

"I miss him too, Smallville," Lois patted his chest, "Now, I distinctly remember him saying we could order pizza – so let's get some pizza and have a movie night."

"Sounds good to me," Clark looked down at her with a smile. He couldn't remember the last time they were able to relax without having to worry about a deadline or having to run to the other side of the world to save an anonymous stranger.

2011

"So is there any particular reason this Zatanna is in Shanghai?," Lane asked as they exited the plane.

"She travels a lot for her act," Oliver answered.

"Magic act?," Kent asked.

"No, she runs a circus," Lane rolled her eyes at the man by her side.

"Okay, you two, that's enough," Oliver held back a laugh, "I called ahead and told her we needed to speak to her about an urgent matter. She knows we're coming."

"That's good," Kent said.

"Why? You've never dropped in on anyone unannounced before?," Lane raised an eyebrow, "Have you ever broken a rule?"

"It'd have been rude if we just dropped in without her knowing," Kent defended himself.

"Way to answer my second question," Lane smirked.

"Guys! Enough already, we're wasting time. Come on," Chloe stepped in between them and caught up to Oliver who was leading the way.

"What's her problem?," Lane asked and Kent just shrugged. A few minutes later, the four entered a dimly lit room with candles as the only mode of light.

Before a sarcastic quip could come out of Lane's mouth about the room, they heard a voice come from the other end, "Lois opened her present early, didn't she?"

They walked around a corner to see Zatanna sitting on a stool in her usual top hat, white bow tie, and fishnet stockings outfit, "I knew she couldn't resist."

"Nice outfit," Lane folded her arms.

"Thank you," Zatanna smirked. She knew she was making fun of her, but that was just Lois being Lois, "So, what was your wish?"

"It wasn't my wish," Lane shook her head.

Zatanna stood up. She didn't understand, "Was it Clark? Because I specifically made the wish only work for you."

"It was Lois' wish, it just wasn't this Lois' wish," Oliver tried to explain, "I told you we all were in a bit of a predicament when I called you."

"I'm a little confused," Zatanna still didn't understand.

"We're not the Lois and Clark you know," Kent started, "Uh, I hadn't even met her until this morning and vice versa."

"Last we remember, it was the year 2003," Lane continued for him.

"That's interesting," Zatanna nodded, finally understanding.

"What's interesting? The fact that we made a body switch with our future selves?," Lane remarked, "Yeah, I say that's attention-grabbing."

"I got that, Lois," Zatanna started, "I meant that the wish affected you both."

"Why wouldn't it affect us both?," Lane was confused now.

"I told you, Lois," Zatanna said, "That watch was only supposed to affect you. I guess I underestimated the strength of your love."

"You mean the fact that Lois and Clark are together made them switch together?," Chloe wanted her to clarify.

"I told her to open it before she walked down the aisle to marry Clark for all of her wishes and dreams to come true," Zatanna started, "But I knew by that time… the wish would no longer be needed."

"Why?," Chloe asked.

"Because all of her dreams would be coming true by marrying me," Kent realized. He didn't think it was possible to have a love like the one he was going to have in the future.

"Exactly," Zatanna smiled.

"Wait, do you mean there isn't a way to reverse what happened?," Lane was getting a little worried. She didn't do too well with the emotional stuff. Clearly, she was better with it in the future, but she was only at the mentality of an almost seventeen-year-old and her husband-to-be was only sixteen mentally.

"There is, but you have to want it with all of your heart," Zatanna replied, "You can't just wish it to be so that you can get back to your own time. And sense it affected you both, you both have to want it."

"Is that what happened the first time?," Oliver asked.

"That's how I see it," Zatanna nodded, "Lois made the wish, but Clark wanted that too. He wants what she wants – they're connected."

"So basically we just have to want to switch back?," Lane asked, "But we really want to. Don't we, Clark?"

Kent nodded vigorously.

"You keep saying that," Zatanna replied, "But the watch knows when it's your true heart's desire and when you're truly in sync. I suggest you try to reverse the switch back at the farm."

"Thanks, Zee," Oliver said, "Come on, everybody. Let's get back to my jet to go back to the farm."

"You and Chloe go ahead… I think Clark and I will be a minute," Lane told them. Chloe and Oliver nodded and exited the room leaving them alone with Zatanna.

"Do you have another question about switching back?," Zatanna tilted her head.

"Sorta," Lane started twisting her hands, "I don't know if we can be in sync, I mean we just met."

"To me that sounds like soul mate stuff," Kent agreed, "I think our future selves are better equipped to do this."

"Don't underestimate yourselves," Zatanna said, "I know this is all a lot to take in and you two have just met, but… there's a connection here. I know it and you two know it more than you realize. Your bond has always been there. You just have to harness it and wish to return to normal. Once you do the watch will be out of juice."

"You really think we can?," Kent asked.

Zatanna nodded, "Trust me. Your love is the ultimate kind, the one everyone aspires to and when it's the right time, you'll make the wish and everything will be back to normal."

"Thank you," Kent nodded and grabbed Lane's hand, leading her out of the room. Lane nodded thanks to Zatanna too and then turned to Kent, "Clark? Is this as weird for you as it is for me? I mean we don't even know each other and everyone is telling us we're supposed to be soul mates."

"Yeah, it is," Kent admitted, "But I'm starting to see what my future self sees in you. You're a pretty cool girl."

"You're not that bad yourself, Smallville," Lane gave him a half-smile.

"Smallville?," Kent furrowed his brows at the unfamiliar name.

Lane shrugged, "I heard my future self use it. I thought it fit you… it sorta just rolled off my tongue."

"Oh," Kent said, "Okay… um, what do you think we should do at the farm to relax and connect to switch back?"

"Maybe we could watch a movie? Get a sneak peek at the type of films we can look forward to in the future," Lane suggested.

"Sounds like a good plan to me," Kent nodded.

"Come on you slow pokes!," Oliver yelled from the stairs leading to the jet.

"Coming!," Lane and Kent yelled in unison. They hurried their pace with their hands still joined – neither one of them felt the need to let go.

TBC

The dynamic between Lane and Kent is changing… I wonder what'll happen. :P I hope you guys enjoyed Zee's little explanation and weren't too confused by it. If you have any questions about it, just ask. ) I'll try to explain what I can without giving too much away.
