PART TWO

Lois had been paranoid all day. Ever since she and Clark had made that deal, she was expecting him to pop out of the corner and prank her.

She walked into the Daily Planet and saw Clark seated at his desk. He paid no attention to her as she walked over to her desk. She took noticed of this and began to wonder why.

Maybe he's trying to pull a prank, Lois thought.

She began examining her desk for any traps he may have set up

for her. She saw none on the surface.

Then she started moving things. She moved stacks of papers that were scattered throughout her desk. She moved a package that was on the verge of falling to the ground. She put all the pens in the pen holder. Everything was as she left it.

She looked up at Clark. He was busy on his computer, which made her even more suspicious towards him. She cleared her throat to hopefully get his attention.

It worked. He looked up at her and saw that she was staring at him. "Everything ok, Lois?" he asked. He smiled at her.

Lois recognized that smile. It was the "I'm up to something" Kent smile. She couldn't let him win. So, she wouldn't accuse him of pulling a prank on her. "Nope. Everything is peachy," she lied.

"Peachy? Since when does Lois Lane say peachy? Are you sure there in nothing bothering you?" he asked.

"Nope. Nothing at all," she continued lying.

"If you say so."

She couldn't take it any longer. The waiting. The anticipation. She never would have challenged him if she knew she was going to feel like this.

She wanted him to get the prank over with already. She even thought about giving him ideas, but then she thought better of it.

Instead she had to find a way to prank him first.

But how?

She'd gotten Lucy every year when they were younger, but this was different. She was older now and this was Clark Kent she had to fool. It had to be better this time.

Lois was in the copy room for only two minutes when Clark came in and joined her. "Smallville, what are you doing in here? Shouldn't you be out chasing a story?" she asked him.

He snuck up on her and gave her a hug from behind. "I just wanted some time alone with you," he said.

Despite the fact that she knew she should be cautious of Clark and his April Fool's prank, she found herself yet again leaning back to Clark's embrace. "We went out for lunch," she said.

"I guess I just can't get enough of Lois Lane," he said.

Lois looked over her shoulder at Clark. "So, you're not tired of me yet?" she asked.

"I could never get tired of you," Clark said.

Lois smiled up at him. "You're such a sap," she said.

Clark smiled back at her. He had his hand on her waist so he turned her around so that they were now face to face. "Have dinner with me at the farm tonight."

"I-. We just had lunch together. We work together and you want to have dinner? You're going to get tired of me eventually," Lois said.

"No, I won't," he said as if he was positive.

"Cla-."

"Just for tonight. It's Easter weekend and…With my mom gone, you are the only person I want to spend my holidays with," he said. He looked down at the ground and avoided eye contact with her. "I know it makes me sappy, but you mean so muc-."

She cut him off mid sentence with a kiss. She grabbed his face and brought his lips down to hers. Together their mouths moved swiftly.

Seconds later, she pulled away. Clark was left mesmerized by her kiss. "What was that for?" he asked.

"For being you," she said quietly. She pulled away from his embrace and grabbed her copies. "See you tonight."

Walking back to her desk, Lois began thinking.

What if it's too good to be true? What if Clark is planning something? What if this dinner was all a set up? What if when she got there, he would April Fool her?

Lois wouldn't allow that. She would let Clark Kent prove her wrong. Not if she had any say in it.

"Don't worry, Clark Kent. I know just how to April Fools you."
