I've kind of been putting this story off for a while, but then, I was inspired. So, in honor of feeling the mojo, here's the next chapter to Doom in Cancun. Enjoy.

DISCLAIMER: I really don't own Smallville, but in my dreams I do.

Clark, Lois, Oliver, Chloe, and Lana were all sitting in the living area of Clark and Lois's hotel suite. Silence filled the room; the slightest noises echoed off the walls. Oliver and Chloe were staring at the floor between sneaking glances at each other. Clark kept looking from Lois to Lana and vice versa. Lois was too busy glaring at Lana to notice. The other brunette kept her eyes to the floor.

"Okay, well, uh…I can see this doesn't concern us, so we'll just be going. Right, Chloe?" Oliver said, standing up.

She looked up at her boyfriend for a brief moment. "Right! So, uh, we'll just leave. See you guys in the morning." Chloe grabbed his hand and they made their way out the door.

Clark stood up slowly and cleared his throat. "Okay, Lois and I need to talk. Lana, would you mind? We'll all meet up for breakfast in the morning."

Lana nodded and began to stand from her seat, but Lois quickly stood. "Hold up, you're not going anywhere until I know what the hell happened in there," she said, pointing toward the bedroom. "You were hurting him."

"I was helping him," Lana corrected.

Lois snorted loudly. "Yeah, it looked a lot like that with him toppling over in pain and all," she said sarcastically.

"Lois, it may be hard to believe, but she was," Clark said, taking a step closer to her.

"How? You were on the floor in agony, Clark," Lois replied exasperated.

Clark sighed, then looked at Lana. "I'll explain it to her. You can go. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it."

"Alright," Lana nodded. "See you later."

After she left, Lois turned to her boyfriend. "Why'd you let her leave? I was not done!"

"Lois, yelling at Lana won't do anybody any good. She had to use green kryptonite on me to cancel out the effects of the red one."

"I'm sorry, what?" she said, shaking her head in confusion.

Clark smiled. "Red kryptonite. It's what caused me to act the way I did. It takes away my inhibitions, leaving me free to do whatever I feel like. That's why I was acting like a complete jerk. I'm sorry about that."

"Yeah, you were definitely acting like a jerk," Lois nodded in agreement. "But I liked how the night was going to end."

He grinned, but his smile began to falter. "Lois, I want you to know that being under the influence of red K is like being drugged. I don't do anything I would normally do and I'm sorry if at any time I offended you."

"Smallville," she said, cupping his face in her hands. "Other than being rude to Ollie when we were dancing, you did nothing I didn't enjoy. I'll deny it if you ever tell anyone, but I like when you get all macho on me like that. It's a major turn on."

Clark wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled brightly. "Really?"

"Yeah," she smiled back. "And believe me, nothing would make me happier than to drag you back to the bedroom and continue where we left off, but there are some things we need to talk about."

"Right," he confirmed. "This was not how I planned you finding out my secret, but honestly, I'm not sure I would've told you myself."

"It's okay. I understand. You weren't ready to let me in," Lois shrugged. "Nothing to feel sorry about."

"I don't deserve you," he smiled softly.

"Oh, I know," she winked at him playfully. "How about we get comfortable and you can tell me all your dirty little secrets."

"Sounds like a plan," Clark smiled.

The two went into the bedroom to change. Lois went into the bathroom as Clark pulled on a pair of red flannel pajama pants. When he grabbed a white t-shirt to slide over his head, he felt a hand on his arm. He turned to see Lois standing in just her bra and underwear. She took the shirt from his hands and slipped it over her head.

"You look good just like that," she smiled as she sashayed toward the door.

Clark smiled and followed her into the living room area. They called room service and ordered two pieces of chocolate cake and two cups of coffee. Once their snacks arrived, Lois and Clark sank into the couch.

"Alright," Lois smiled, licking some chocolate frosting off her finger. "I'm all ears."

Clark watched as she sank her fork into the slice of cake and brought a piece to her lips. "Well, I guess I should start from the beginning, huh?" When he got an encouraging smile from Lois, he started to explain the entirety of his supernatural background.

About an hour and half later, two plates randomly decorated with scrapes of chocolate frosting and cake crumbs and two empty mugs sat on the coffee table. Clark was sitting on one side of the couch, his body tense. Lois occupied the other end of the couch in complete shock.

"Lois, you're quiet. That's never a good sign." Clark tried to make a joke out of the silence, hoping to ease some of the tension, but all she did was shake her head as if just snapping out of a trance. "Look, I know it's a lot to process. You know, the alien part, being from another planet, the powers, the lies, everything. If you need time, I understand. It's never easy for anyone to accept me and they always end up leaving. So, I get it if this is too much for you-"

"Smallville!" Lois interjected heatedly. "If anyone's freaking out right now, it's you. Stop with the verbal marathon and let me get a word in, okay?"

Clark simply nodded and sunk into the couch a little. He kept his mouth shut, hoping for the worse because in his experience, it was all that was associated with people knowing his secret.

Lois took a deep breath. "So, every time I put my ass in danger, it was you always bailing me out?" Again, he nodded. "And you had to hide this part of you all your life?" Another nod on his part. "And I'm the last to know?"

Clark sighed. "Lois, I never wanted you to be hurt by this. It has nothing to do with me not trusting you or you not being strong enough to handle it. In fact, you're the strongest person I know. There was no doubt you'd be able to keep this secret. It's just that everyone who knows…their lives get turned upside down and I have to watch them either die or walk away. I'm lucky that I have Oliver, Chloe, and very few others, but who knows how long it will be before I lose them, too. And I never want to lose you, ever. That's why I didn't tell you. I wanted to keep you safe and I'll admit I was a little afraid you'd look at me differently."

Lois smiled and scooted closer to him. She wrapped her left arm around his neck and placed her right hand over his heart. "It doesn't matter if you're human or an alien. What I see is the amazing heart you have, Smallville, and that is what I still see now. Nothing will ever change the way I look at you or the way I feel about you. You have the ability to take over the world, yet you go out there and save it, everyday. How can I not be in love with someone like that?"

Clark smiled brightly and pulled her into a slow, sweet kiss. "I never knew telling someone my secret could feel this good."

"Are you telling me that you weren't happy when you told Lana the truth?" she asked with a smirk.

"I thought we would finally be happy, but she was blinded by my powers. She stopped seeing me," he said, looking away sadly. "All she was concerned about was being my equal. She thought the only way we could be together was if she had powers like mine."

"And do you feel that way? Like you need an equal?" she asked softly.

"Lois, you are my equal," he said, looking into her eyes. "Just being you, staying exactly as you are is what makes you perfect for me. Lana didn't seem to understand that I was just someone with powers and she didn't have to do anything to be with me. She had stolen a suit from Lex the last time she was in Smallville, one equipped with powers just like mine, and it was absorbed into her skin. We worked together while she was in town and the reason she left was because the suit absorbed green kryptonite, which is lethal to me. It makes me extremely sick. Lex knew about it and created a kryptonite bomb. He gave us an ultimatum; either the bomb goes off and Lana and I stay together or she absorbed the kryptonite and we had to say goodbye again."

"Wait a minute," Lois said, removing her arms from around him. "Are you saying that the two of you were forced apart? You didn't have a choice?"

"Well, we did have a choice. We chose to stop the bomb and go our separate ways," Clark replied, sensing what was going on in her head. "Lois, after she left, I could have searched the entire world to find a cure, but I didn't. Although it hurt a lot when she left, I knew it was time to move on. We never worked because we were never meant to be together. I accepted that. Besides, my feelings for you were already growing. It was getting harder to deny."

"But when Lana came to Chloe's wedding, you chose her," Lois replied, looking down at his chest.

"There was not one part of me that didn't want to follow you to Star City because I hate to be away from you. But at the same time, I wasn't sure what it was I was feeling for you. It was completely foreign to me. With Lana, I knew what to expect, but with you, I couldn't face it if there was a chance I'd lose you. I'm sorry for hurting you. I was just too scared."

Lois looked up into his eyes and knew right away that he was telling the truth. She smiled and bit the side of her lip. "Well, I'm glad you got over it. Otherwise, we wouldn't be sitting here."

He grinned and pulled her into his lap. She placed her knees on either side of his thighs in a straddling position so that they were now chest to chest. She rested her hands lightly on his shoulders as his arms encircled her waist, pulling her closer into his embrace. "This feeling right here, what we have…I wouldn't trade it for the world."

"I love you, Smallville. I really do," she whispered with a shy smile.

"I love you, too, so much." He leaned in and kissed her softly. "So, what were you and Oliver talking about on the dance floor?"

She chuckled a bit. "I don't know what you're talking about." When he narrowed his eyes at her, she rolled hers. "He told me to look at you. When I did, you were staring so hard at us it was like you were going to burn a hole through us…which is actually possible for you." It was Clark's turn to roll his eyes. "It looked like your head was about to explode."

"You two were dancing a little too close for my liking," he huffed.

"I know. You already told me all about how you didn't like Oliver all over me."

Clark grimaced. "Yeah, as Kal, I can be a little rude."

"A little?" Lois laughed.

"Okay, I can be a total jerk," he relented.

"Try a huge, jumbo-sized jerk. I was about to knock you over the head," she said.

"I deserved it. It's just…Lois, the thought of you with anyone else…it makes my insides twist."

"Smallville, I know. When I saw Lana, I thought you'd just go running back to her. You never could resist her and that made my insides twist and then some. You don't have to worry about losing me to anyone. You won't." She kissed his nose playfully.

Clark smiled and kissed her lips. Lois wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss, parting her lips and letting her tongue sweep across his lips. Clark granted her access, opening his mouth, and pulling her impossibly closer. His hands roamed around her waist, slipping underneath her shirt to slide across her smooth skin. Lois moaned slightly into his mouth at the feel of his fingers. They danced across the hem of her panties before moving up to play with her bra clasp. Lois pushed her lips against his, easing him back so that her hands could grasp the ends of her t-shirt. Clark helped her pull it up over her head and he tossed it over the couch before pulling her lips back to his. Her skin brushed against his and she moaned, pressing even closer to him. Their lips gave way to their tongues, which fought for dominance in Lois's mouth as Clark scooted to the edge of the couch. Lois wrapped her legs around his waist as he stood up and proceeded to carry her into the bedroom. Lois kissed him with all she felt for him, feeling happier than any previous moment in her life.

"Lois…" Clark moaned, his lips sliding over her neck as he pushed her up against a wall.

She grinned in bliss at the feel of him pressing against her. Her fingers threaded through his hair, keeping him against her. "Clark…love me," she whispered.

He kissed her passionately, succumbing to the desire he'd denied for so long, the animal inside him awakening and taking over. But, Lois didn't seem to mind too much.

(((o)))

Lois woke up the next morning feeling extremely elated. A smile graced her lips as the memory of Clark being deeply embedded within her ran through her mind. The bed sheets clung to her naked body as she stretched and purred as a gentle breeze from the opened window caressed her skin. Her hand felt the space beside her, searching for her boyfriend. When she didn't feel his warm body, Lois opened her eyes. An uncharacteristic giggle escaped her lips when she saw Clark floating about five feet above the bed completely uncovered. His hands rested under his head and his ankles were crossed. Lois bit her lip as her eyes lingered on his bare backside. With a happy sigh, she stood on the bed and looked at his face. He wore a small smile, making her wonder what he was dreaming about. She scanned his entire body, which was on clear display. Grinning, she climbed on top of him, giggling again when her legs dangled beneath him.

She leaned down and brushed kisses against his neck and shoulders. "Smallville," she whispered. He stirred a little, bringing his arms down to wrap around her, but continued to sleep. Lois smiled and kissed his neck again. "Smallville," she drawled out.

"Hmm, Lo…" he mumbled. "Don't tease…I love yo-marshmallows…soft, like you…"

Lois grinned at his sleep talk. "You love marshmallows, baby?"

"Mmm, yeahhh…and Lois. I love Lois…my babe…my babe loves me."

"She does, does she?" she continued, laying soft kisses along his chest. "How do you know?"

"Told me…she loves my alien. No one loves alien like her…" Clark turned his head to the side, a sleepy grin on his face. "She's the best…the best part of me…Lois…is…I'm gonna marry her."

Lois's eyes widened. 'Did he mean it, or was it just him sleep talking', she thought to herself. "Really?"

"Hmm…Lo, marry me…I love you, not the marshma-be my wife."

Lois leaned down so their faces were mere inches apart. "Yes, I'll marry you. Just ask me when you're awake." She kissed his cheek.

"I love her…so much…" Those were his last words before he went back under the full claim of sleep.

"I love you, too, Clark," she whispered with a smile, before closing her eyes.

A few hours later, Clark woke up. He felt incredible. He and Lois made love for the first time last night and it was more than he could've ever imagined. He even had a dream about proposing to her and she accepted. He smiled and stretched languorously. He met resistance when he felt a weight on top of him. His eyes caught sight of dark hair splayed across his chest. A smile popped onto his lips at the sight of Lois sleeping on him. It was then Clark noticed they were floating. He wrapped his arms around his girlfriend and slowly floated back down to the bed.

"Mmm, Smallville," Lois mumbled, snuggling closer into his chest. "You awake now?"

"Yeah, honey," he smiled, kissing the top of her head before pulling the sheets over them.

"Did you know you talk in your sleep?" she asked sleepily.

Clark chuckled. "No, I was not aware."

"Well, you apparently love marshmallows."

"I do love them. But not as much as I love you," he replied, giving her a light squeeze.

"Yeah, you said that. You also said your babe loves your alien. Now, I'm not sure if you were referring to me loving you even though you're an alien or you're calling Clark Jr. an alien because frankly, little Clarkie is out of this world."

Red crept into his cheeks. "I think it would be the former. What else did I say?"

Lois thought about it for a moment before responding, "Nothing for the front page." She didn't want him mulling over the whole blurry proposal and then feel pressured to think about asking her.

"It's funny. I dreamt I proposed to you," he said.

Lois rolled her eyes. Well, there goes that. "Really? What did I say?"

"You said yes."

She smiled and propped her chin up on his chest to look at him. "Well, that was a dream."

Clark's eyebrows knitted together. "So, if I asked you, you would say no?"

"I don't know. You never asked me. Besides, Smallville, it was a dream. They're not always what you want to happen in your conscious state. And isn't it a little early to propose?"

He stared at her silently for a few minutes. Lois was fidgeting under his gaze. "Marry me."

Her eyes snapped up. "What?"

"I want this to be real. Marry me," he replied seriously.

Lois laughed incredulously. "Smallville, you don't have to ask me just because you had a dream about it. You don't see me banging down Channing Tatum's door asking him to marry me, do you? You don't even have a ring! And I distinctly remember you freaking out when I was under that spell and we were sort of engaged."

"Our relationship was very new a couple months ago. Of course I was freaked out and I wasn't the one to propose, you were…sort of. Anyway, I'm not asking just because of that dream…and I don't want you having any dreams about marrying anyone else," he replied with mock seriousness at the last part, pointing a finger at her. "Lois, I…" He paused for a moment. "I've been thinking about this for a while. We've been dancing around each other for five years now. I don't want to be without you." He placed her on her side of the bed and blurred away. Before she could blink, he was back, wearing a pair of boxers and holding a small, black box in his left hand nervously. There was a tray sitting by her with a plate of chocolate chip pancakes, a bowl of strawberries, a glass of orange juice, and a vase containing white lilies. "If this is moving too fast for you or you're not one hundred percent sure, you don't have to answer. Just know that I want to make you my wife someday. So, if you think you can handle it…" He opened the box to reveal a white gold ring with an average sized diamond placed perfectly in the center. "Lois Lane, will you marry me?"

She stared at the ring for a long while. Clark grew nervous as he stared at a seemingly frozen Lois. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea. He opened his mouth to retract, but was surprised when Lois jumped at him. They went tumbling onto the floor in a mess of arms, legs, and sheets. "Yes! Yes, I'll marry you! Put that ring on my finger now, Smallville!" she exclaimed happily.

Clark laughed and pulled the ring out of the box. She brought her left hand up into view and he slid the ring onto her finger. Lois grinned, leaned down, and kissed him hard. He laughed into her mouth; no previous moment could ever replace the happiness in this one and he was proud of it.

(((o)))

"Lois, I don't think they're awake yet," Clark said.

She pulled the keycard to Oliver and Chloe's suite out of her pocket and slid it through the lock slot. "If I'm awake, they're awake." The light flashed green and she opened the door.

"Honey, we'll see them at breakfast. You can tell them then," he tried to reason.

"Chloe and I made a promise after she tried to hide her engagement to Jimmy. We promised each other that if one got engaged, the other would be the very first to know," Lois said, entering the room.

"Lois-" Clark tried again, but stopped when he heard some indistinctive noises. Having a pretty good idea what said noises indicated, he didn't want to tune into his super hearing. "I don't think we should go in there," he quickly whispered when he noticed her moving toward the bedroom.

"Why not?" she asked, but then a muffled moan emanated from behind the door. Lois's face contorted into confusion for a brief moment before morphing into a mock horrified expression. "Are they…? This early in the morning?" she mumbled, mostly to herself, and proceeded to turn the knob to the bedroom door.

"Lois, no!" Clark whispered loudly, but she already burst through the door.

"Surprise!" she shouted.

Oliver immediately pulled himself off of Chloe and both of their heads snapped to the door.

"Lois!" Chloe cried, scrambling for the sheets.

"Wow, Cuz. You know, when I wanted to have that conversation about you and Oliver in the bedroom at McDougal Inn, I never expected to actually see it," Lois smirked as Clark came to stand behind her.

"Maybe if you didn't barge into our room, you wouldn't have to," Chloe growled, grabbing her clothes from a nearby pile by the bed.

"Well, I had some news that I needed to share, pronto," Lois smiled brightly, bouncing lightly on the balls of her feet.

"Something that couldn't wait until breakfast?" Oliver asked, pulling his pajamas pants over his hips before standing from the bed.

"No," Lois shook her head and stepped forward. Flashing her left hand, she smiled again. "I'm getting married."

Chloe's eyes just about popped out of her skull. "What?" she asked, a grin beginning to spread on her face.

"Lois and I are getting married," Clark smiled, coming up to place his hands on his fiancé's waist.

"Oh, my god!" A now clothed Chloe ran up to the couple and threw her arms around them. "This is so great!"

Lois hugged her cousin back tightly. Oliver came around the bed to congratulate them as well. "When did this happen?" he asked.

"This morning. Clark was floating in his sleep, so I hopped up on him-"

"And you guys got it in," Oliver smirked.

"No," Lois said sharply. "He was talking in his sleep and he was mumbling about marrying me. Then, when he was awake, he asked me."

"That is not enough details!" Chloe exclaimed. "We're gonna get dressed and meet you downstairs for breakfast. Then, we'll go over everything."

"Deal. Oh, and you know you're my maid of honor, right?" Lois replied with a small smile.

Chloe's face lit up like the fourth of July. She pulled her cousin into another tight hug before they left.

"Well, it took them long enough," Oliver commented.

Chloe laughed heartily, pulling him into a long kiss.

(((o)))

Breakfast had been eventful. Lois and Clark announce to Lana and Adam they were engaged and immediately, Lana and Chloe began discussing details while Adam, Oliver, and Clark conversed by themselves. Lois tried to listen to all the wedding talk, but her eyes kept wandering to her fiancé. She blinked. The new label was going to take some getting used to, but she couldn't be more thrilled.

Everything happened so fast, however. First they're on this amazing trip in Cancun, then Lana comes back, then she finds out Clark's the Blur, then 'I love you's' are said, then they make love, and now they're engaged. Lois stared dreamily at the man beside her mindlessly chatting with the other guys, and she couldn't help but think everything that happened was meant to happen.

After everyone filled their stomachs to the verge of popping the button on their jeans, they all headed to an amusement park for their final day in Mexico. Lana had directed them to the nearest Funspot Attractions Park and the group immediately divulged in the attractions.

Oliver, Lois, Chloe, and Adam went on the Tilt-A-Whirl first, then jumped onto the Tea Cup ride, which Lana joined in on. They stayed on for a second spin and by the time they got off, no one could walk in a straight line. Clark suggested they go inside for some of the indoor games. They all split up into random groups. Lois and Chloe took over the Air Hockey table while Clark and Oliver battled each other at the Basketball Throws and Lana cozied up to Adam at Skeeball. They went around with each other to various arcade games and collected a lot of tickets. Clark had gotten Lois a huge stuffed purple teddy bear and she chose an average-sized stuffed dog wearing a coincidental plaid sweater for him. Oliver gave Chloe a Fushigi ball and she got him a little amateur bow and arrow set. Lana and Adam bought over-sized blow up mallets.

When they went back outside to all the rides, Lois spotted the huge Mega Drop. "Ooohhh! Let's go on that!" She pointed to the ride.

"Uh, that's kind of high," Clark said nervously.

"Come on," she whined. She moved closer to him so she was out of ear shot to everyone but him. "You said that the only reason you can't fly is because you're afraid of heights. Time to squash that fear."

"Lois," he started, but she turned fully to him, wrapping her arms around his neck – the huge bear dangling behind him – and leaned up toward his ear.

"No ride, no nookie tonight, baby," she whispered before tugging on his ear lobe with her teeth.

Clark groaned and pulled her tighter against him. "That's not fair. It should be a rule that you can't use sex as a weapon."

"Well, it's not and I am. So, what's it gonna be? You gonna stay down here and miss out on this," she gestured to her body. "Or, man up and get your ass on that ride?" He looked at her warily, took a visible gulp, and then nodded nervously. "Good boy," she smiled and kissed him gently on his lips.

"Lo, I think we need a little persuasion over here," Chloe smirked and tugged on Oliver's arm.

"What's the matter, Ollie?" Lois teased, turning to face him. "I know you are not afraid of heights."

"I'm not," he defended. "But terrifying childhood memories greatly discourage me from stepping foot anywhere near that thing."

"Oh, jeez. Don't tell me you're a bigger baby than Smallville," Lois rolled her eyes.

Clark pinched her ass in complaint, causing her to give a little yelp and jump away from him. She glared at him, but he could see the playfulness in her eyes.

Oliver smirked. "What are you going to do? Persuade me like you did Boy Scout?"

"Like hell," Clark said, pulling Lois back to him. Lana smirked at that. He really was crazy about Lois if he got that jealous over something so meaningless.

"No, but there is a whole closet full of secrets I'm sure you'd like me to keep hidden, Oliver," Lois grinned evilly.

"You wouldn't dare hold that against me over an amusement ride," he narrowed his eyes at her.

"Wouldn't I?"

"Ollie, give up. She's got you beat," Chloe chuckled. "And you will tell me all his crazy fetishes later," she articulated toward her cousin.

Lois winked at her. Oliver groaned and slumped forward a bit. "I'll get you back, Lane. When you least expect it."

"Ooohh, I'm so scared!" she visibly shivered in mock fear.

"Alright, then. Mega Drop it is," Lana nodded.

The group chatted absently while waiting in line for the ride. When it was close to their turn to go on, Oliver started to back out. "Oh, hell no. I'm not getting on there," he shook his head.

"What is so bad about a mega drop? I've seen you jump from higher distances than this," Lois griped.

"That's different. I'm in control of my height and how fast I'm going down and where I land. This," he waved a hand toward the contraption. "Is just…" he shivered.

"What happened that was so bad?" Adam asked.

"I was fourteen when my friends and I went to a carnival. They were all picking on me because I'd never been on one before, so I got all cocky and dove headfirst onto the ride. I don't know why the worker who was in charge of the ride wasn't paying attention, but he didn't notice I wasn't strapped on properly. He started the ride and I almost went flying out of the thing. Every time we dropped, I'd hit my head and then fall into my seat. I was so scared I actually pissed myself."

By this time, Lois was falling backwards into Clark laughing so hard. "That...is too…funny," she managed to speak between her laughter.

"Yeah, haha," Oliver made a face at her. "Well, now you know. And I'm not going on."

"Oh, yes you are," she said once she composed herself. "Chloe, watch Clark. He's easier to get on the ride. This one is gonna need a little more of a push." She emphasized her point by pushing Oliver forward in the line.

The six were eventually seated on the ride with Clark, Lois, Oliver, and Chloe in that order on one side and Lana and Adam on the other.

"When you least freaking expect it, Legs! I. Will. Get. You!" Oliver growled, gripping tightly onto the bars holding him into his seat.

"Oh, come on, Ollie," Chloe smiled, placing a comforting hand on his knee. "You need to loosen up."

"Yeah, don't be like Clark here, who looks like he'll rip apart this entire machine," Lois smirked, pointing at her fiancé.

Clark grimaced at her and let his hands drop into his lap. The ride started up and the girls were all calm. As soon as they began to drop, Oliver squeezed his eyes shut and made a strange screeching voice from a closed mouth. Clark was gripping the bars again, which Lois had to pry his hands from before he clenched right through it.

By the time they got off, Lois and Chloe were in tears, laughing at their respective men.

"What happened?" Lana asked.

Lois had to lean on her cousin for balance. "Clark was about to break free of the ride; his face was like he just bit into a sour lemon!"

"And Ollie was about to piss himself again!" Chloe laughed. "He was making this weird screeching noise…" she couldn't stop herself.

"Okay, okay, you had your laughs!" Oliver growled. "I think it's time to go now."

"No! We have to go on the go-carts before we leave," Lana said.

"Yeah, come on. One more ride and then we'll go home," Lois said, grabbing Clark's hand.

They all spent a good while on the go-carts before calling it quits and heading back to the hotel. "I so don't want to go home tomorrow," Chloe complained.

"I know. I'm going to miss you guys," Lana sighed.

"We'll try to come back as soon as we can. And you can visit us anytime," Clark said.

"It was really great seeing you again," she smiled.

"It was good seeing you, too," Chloe hugged her friend.

"I'll try to keep in touch," Lana said.

"You do that. We've got to make plans like these again," Lois smiled.

"Alright. Well, we could do breakfast one last time tomorrow morning before you all leave."

"Deal. See you tomorrow morning," Clark smiled and gave Lana a hug. Lois had to bite her tongue to refrain herself. Oliver and Chloe smirked at her and she rolled her eyes at being so transparent. Lois had given Lana a quick hug before the shorter brunette left with Adam. Oliver and Chloe went up to their room shortly after while the last couple made their way toward the small Tiki bar situated in the corner of the lobby.

They sat down and ordered drinks. Lois sighed and looked around the lobby.

"You okay?" Clark asked softly.

"Yeah," she smiled as the bartender set their drinks in front of them. "I'm just a little sad to be leaving tomorrow. Then it's back to the real world."

"I thought you liked living in the real world," he teased with a light smile.

"I do, probably more than I should," she chuckled, fiddling with her glass. "But you make it easy to slip away. You know, forget everything around us and it's just you and me."

"Honey, it'll always be like that," he replied, reaching for her hand, which she turned palm up to play with his fingers.

"I sure hope so," she smiled at him.

"I know so," he said seriously. "I'll make sure of it."

Lois smiled a little wider and leaned over to kiss him. "Have I told you lately that I love you?"

"Never hurts to hear it again," he smiled, tucking some of her hair behind her ear and kissed her once more.

Hopefully the abundance in this chapter will make up for the dreadful wait inflicted upon all of you. My sincerest apologies. Review please.
