Disclaimer: I don't own Smallville… I also don't own the movie that is mentioned during this chapter.

A/N: So glad that everybody enjoyed this last chapter. Yes, things around Lane and Kent are changing… ) I hope you guys enjoy this next chapter. It's got a bit of a little cliffhanger at the end, just so you know. ) :P Chapter 7 is only about 4 ½ or 5 pages long. It just felt like the best place to stop. :D

The idea to actually use the movie you'll see mentioned was thought of by Becca (rebecavaldez). I was bouncing ideas around talking to Becca and Ava (adoredclois) while writing this part of the story and Becca suggested it. I thought of the fun lines though. ;) :P

Enjoy Chapter 7 of Switch…

Previously in Switch...

"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.

Chapter 7

2003

"Any movies looking good?," Clark asked from his spot on the couch. He had taken his shoes and socks off looking quite comfortable.

"How about this?," Lois picked up a DVD from a lower pile.

"What is it?," Clark sat forward.

"It's called Cheaper by the Dozen," Lois said, "I don't think I've seen it before… Steve Martin is in it. He's pretty funny."

"Sure," Clark agreed, "I don't know if I've seen that before. I don't remember."

"Let's put it in then," Lois put the DVD in the player, "I'm sure it's funny."

Lois settled in Clark's arms as the main menu appeared, "This will help pass the time… and for once we can just relax."

"I can't remember the last time we could do this without any distractions," Clark wrapped his arm around her.

"I don't think we ever really have, Smallville," Lois said once Bonnie Hunt's character started narrating, "I think the closest we ever came was some time last year when we were watching Jaws and you kept getting up… which I now know was because you had to fulfill your Blur duties."

"I'm sorry about that, Lois," Clark apologized.

"You don't have to be sorry, Smallville," Lois rested her head on Clark's chest, watching the movie.

"But, now I really see why you wished for what you did," Clark said, "I'm constantly leaving you."

"But like you say – you always come back," Lois told him, "Smallville, I don't want you feeling guilty for going out to save the world. I'm proud of you and I know that you will always come back to me."

"I know," Clark looked down, "I just wish I could give you more because you know that I love you with my entire being."

"Yes," Lane nodded, "and the same goes for me. I couldn't ask for more. I've got the world's greatest guy as my husband-to-be – Human or Kryptonian."

"I don't know what I did to have the best human female on Earth to become my wife," Clark teased with his Kent mega-watt smile.

It was contagious, "You know, I ask myself that question."

Clark gave her a quick kiss as she put her head back on Clark's chest and snuggled into him. Clark put his arm back around her as they turned their attention back to the movie. They were already up to the morning scene. Steve Martin's character just went in to check in on their oldest son Charlie Baker. Lois tilted her head when he came on the screen, "Clark? That guy kinda looks like you."

"Really?," Clark mirrored Lois' action, "I don't see it."

2011

Lane, Kent, Oliver, and Chloe were all back in the jet and were almost back to Smallville. A comfortable silence fell over the group and Chloe broke it with something that was bothering her, "So what did you guys stay behind for with Zatanna?"

"Just a few extra questions, that's all," Kent replied.

"Do you think you can try and switch back now? Before we land?," Chloe asked.

"I don't think so, Chloe," Lane shook her head, "Zatanna made it pretty clear as to what we have to do."

"Leave them alone, Chloe," Oliver agreed with them, "We'll get our Lois and Clark back soon enough."

"Do you really think you can switch back?," Chloe was worried.

"Chloe," Oliver chided, but he was a little worried too.

"I think we'll be able to," Kent nodded, "Zatanna seemed pretty confident in us. Plus, you know, I think if Lois and I weren't so connected to begin with this switch never would've happened in the first place."

Chloe nodded, feeling a little better, "Right… good luck."

They finally landed in a field not too far away from the Kent Farm. Lane and Kent got up. Lane looked to Chloe and Oliver, "Thanks."

Kent and Lane got off the plane and once they were a good distance away, they could hear it take off again behind them. He looked to Lois, "Let's get back to the farm. The sooner we relax and everything, the sooner we'll get switched back."

They started walking toward the farm. It was already visible in the distance. They were in the cow pastures.

After walking in comfortable silence for a few moments, Lane broke it, "Clark?"

"Yeah," Kent turned to her.

"Back in the plane when you said you think we'll be able to switch back, were you just saying that to comfort them or do you really think we will?," Lane asked. She looked genuinely scared they wouldn't be able to revert back to normal.

Kent was about to answer, but Lane interrupted him, "I mean, I thought I had confidence that we could, but what if we can't?"

"I think we can," Kent nodded, "I may have just met you today, but something tells me that you're a pretty amazing person… and if our future selves are getting married, then I'm guessing that there must be some kind of bond here."

"You really believe in this kind of stuff?," Lane asked, "Destiny?"

"I don't want to," Kent shook his head. They were now closer to the farmhouse, "But I've learned that when it comes to certain things, you can't fight it… what about you? Do you believe in destiny, Lois?"

"Only the kind you make happen," Lane replied, "Plus, I think this kind of destiny happening between you and I… well, it's just fine with me."

"What do you mean?," Kent was a little confused.

"You seem like a great guy too and I think my future self is really lucky. I can't wait to get to know you like she does," Lane said genuinely.

"Me too," Kent smiled as they reached the front porch. He opened the door and gestured for her to lead the way – which she did with a smile as a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"So," Lane sighed once they entered the kitchen, "How about that movie?"

"Yeah," Kent nodded. Why was he so nervous? It's not like this was a date or anything, "Would you like some popcorn?"

"Butter," Lane nodded as she walked into the living room, "These future movies look pretty interesting.

"Yeah?," Kent yelled back as he put the popcorn in the microwave. He wanted to use his heat vision, but he thought that might raise too many questions.

"Uh-huh," Lane said, "Why don't we just pop in a movie from our time? It might help with the switching."

"Okay," Kent came in with the popcorn, "Any neither one of us has seen before?"

"There's Cheaper by the Dozen with Steve Martin," Lane held it up, "I remember I wanted to see it but never got the chance."

"Sounds good to me," Kent sat on the couch. Lane put the disc in the DVD player and sat on the couch on the other side. She looked at the space between them.

Kent put the bowl of popcorn between them, "Help yourself. I'm not going to eat all of it."

"Thanks," Lane popped a few kernels in her mouth. On either side of the couch, Lane and Kent were nervously drumming their fingers.

"Do you-?," Kent started, whipping his head around and then stopped, nervously.

"Do I what?," Lane looked just as nervous as him.

"Do you think we should uh… do you think we should sit closer?," Kent asked hesitantly with a small gulp.

"Maybe," Lane nodded, "I guess that could work with trying to be closer to switch back."

Lane picked up the popcorn bowl and scooted closer to him. There was still somewhat of a distance between them, but not as big as one as before. They turned their attention back to the movie. Kent let out a small laugh.

"What?," Lane asked. There wasn't anything that funny said in the movie.

"That guy kinda looks like me," Kent pointed to the screen. Charlie Baker was asking his dad if he mentioned he didn't like him very much.

"No he doesn't," Lane shook her head.

"I think he does," Kent said.

"No," Lane shook her head, "He couldn't look like you… he's hot."

"Hey!," Kent laughed and hit her with a pillow.

"Ow! That hurt!," Lane hit him back with the same pillow. Then she grabbed a hand full of popcorn and chucked it at him. A popcorn fight had now commenced. They started laughing and once they were out of popcorn, their laughter settled down.

"You've got popcorn in your hair," Kent picked some out.

"So do you," Lane brushed it out of his hair. Kent's eyes shifted from her eyes to her lips and before he knew what he was doing, he started to lean in for a kiss.

Evil cliffhanger? Yes? No? ) :P Did you guys like the Cheaper by the Dozen joke? In case there's a reader out there that doesn't understand the reference – Tom Welling (Clark) played Charlie Baker in the movie. ;)

And I just want to make sure that you guys know that I realize that Cheaper by the Dozen didn't come to theaters until December of 2003 and therefore, there's no way they could really watch it on DVD, but I wanted both sets of Clois to watch the same movie… and there's always incontinuity in movies and TV shows – so I went with it. :P 8-) And just a little reminder, there are only 2 chapters and an epilogue left. 8-)

Please comment and tell me what you think! I hope you guys are enjoying this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. :) :D

Thanks to everybody who's also just reading. I appreciate you too! :D

Clois Forever! :D
