(Originally written for the Wednesday100 topic "Be Nice to Lana".)

The Giant Krypto-Ants decided to throw Lana a welcome-home party, because they loved her so.

They decorated their lair with pretty flowers and lots of pink ribbon.

They prepared wonderful snacks, like meteor-rock-green punch, lovely pre-chewed cake, and big piles of sugar.

They made Lana beautiful gifts, like a kryptonite necklace (to replace the one that mysteriously disappeared) and her own burrow, painted pink.

They brought all her friends to the lair for the celebration. Lana was so thrilled when everybody shouted "Surprise!"

No one noticed that the lair's kryptonite lining had made poor Clark keel over and die.

Darn.

(That one can be regarded as a sequel to an earlier Giant Glowing Krypto-Ant drabble, that I did when the topic was "Drabbles that hurt".)

"We miss you, Lana.
Oh, yes, we do.
We miss you, Lana
And we'll be true
When you're not near us
We're blue!
(Well, greenish-blue)
Oh, Lana, we miss you!"

"Dad-Blame Giant Glowing Green Ants!" Jonathan snarled, hauling his weary bones out of bed and grabbing his shotgun. "A body can't get no sleep in these parts since that girl done left."

"Now, Jonathan!" Martha cautioned. "Remember your blood pressure!"

Jonathan heaved open the bedroom window. "The Hell with my blood pressure!" he declared, opening fire on the miserable giant insects.

The krypto-ants fled, still singing their song of woe.

(The other one I wrote during "Drabbles that hurt" week was seriously crack-addled.)

"How could you do it, Lex? How could you take her away from me like that? Lana would never have left Smallville if you hadn't given her that first class ticket to Paris! There's nothing in this miserable town without her! I could have... I thought you... After all that I've done for you!"

His long, unruly hair flew about his neck as he whipped around dramatically and pointed an accusing finger at Lex. "Back Stabber!" he exclaimed, and swept out of the office.

Lex raised his eyebrows in surprise, commenting, "Jeeze, Dad. I didn't think you'd even met her."
