Title: Remember Me
Disclaimer: I don’t own Smallville or any of it’s characters blah blah blah…… but if I did own Smallville Chloe and Lex would be the main characters and everyone would be walking around going ‘Clark and Lana who?’
Summary: This takes place right after the epi ‘Magnetic.’ Chloe loses her memory. Can her friends help her to remember?
A/N: Reviews would be nice. I like lots and lots of reviews.
Ch 1
Chloe is at school late one night working on things for the Torch. Lana is also there. She is in the in the swimming pool. Chloe enters the gym. She watches Lana swim laps until she finally surfaces.
"Hey girl! You having fun?" Chloe asks.
"Hey Chloe" Lana replies breathlessly. "I didn’t hear you come in."
"What are you doing here so late?" asks the snarky reporter.
"I should ask you the same question." Lana replies.
"Point taken" says Chloe jokingly.
Lana swims over to where Chloe is standing at the edge of the pool.
"Are you about to go home?" questions Lana.
"Yeah, I was just heading out the door. How about you?" Chloe asks.
"I think I’m stick around for a little while. The quiet is very peaceful and relaxing."
"Yeah I know what you mean." answers Chloe. "Ok, well I see you at home."
"Ok, see ya!"
As Chloe is about to turn and leave she suddenly cries out in pain and grabs her arm. She passes out and falls forward into the pool.
"Chloe!!" Lana screams.
Lana dives in after her friend. She grabs hold of the blonde pulls her to the surface. She swims her over to the stairs and drags her out of the pool. Lana notices that there is some kind of tranquilizer dart sticking out of Chloe’s arm. Lana pulls out the dart.
"Chloe?! Can you hear me?"
Lana lowers an ear to the blonde’s chest. She doesn’t hear any air moving through her lungs. Lana begins to do CPR on her friend.
"Come on Chloe!"
She breathes into her mouth. She pumps her stomach. It doesn’t seem to help. Her tears begin to mix with the water dripping from her hair as she tries to bring her friend back to life.
"Breathe for me Chloe, come on!" she says with a shaky yet powerful voice.
Finally after a few more tries Chloe begins to cough up the water that she had swallowed.
"Oh Chloe! Thank God you’re all right!"
Chloe’s green eyes focus on Lana’s brown ones.
"Who’s Chloe?" asks the blonde with a very confused look on her face.
Later the two are sitting in a hospital room. They are both wrapped in towels. Lana is holding Chloe’s hand trying to calm her down. Chloe is shaking all over.
"So you don’t remember anything?" Lana inquires.
"No" whispers Chloe as she begins to cry.
"Shh, it’s ok, I’m sure it’s just a temporary thing." Lana wraps her arm around Chloe. Gabe Sullivan walks in the door.
"Chloe? Sweetheart are you ok?"
Chloe looks at Lana "Who is that?"
"That’s your father Chloe."
Chloe hugs him even though she is unsure about it.
The doctor walks in the door.
"Are you Chloe’s father?" she asks.
"Yes, What’s wrong with her?"
"Let’s speak outside."
Gabe follows the doctor into the hallway.
"Chloe fell in the pool at the high school. Her friend saved her. She was shot with some sort of poisonous dart that affects her memory. It is inconclusive at this time as to how long she will be affected by this. But we have every reason to believe that this is only temporary."
"Do you need to keep her here over night?" Gabe questions.
"That won’t be necessary. Your daughter appears to be fine physically. But just keep an eye on her and bring her back in if you need to. If you have any questions then you can call the hospital."
"Thank you Doctor." Gabe shakes her hand.
They are now at the Sullivan’s house.
"Lana, why don’t you take Chloe up to her room." Gabe instructs.
"Sure" Lana replies.
Chloe wanders over to the fireplace and begins to look at the pictures on the mantel. Gabe follows her. She points to one picture of her five year old self with a blonde lady.
"Is that my mother and me?"
"Yes, do you remember her?"
Chloe shakes her head no.
"What happened to her?" Chloe questions.
"She left when you were little."
"Why?"
"Um, Chloe why don’t you go upstairs and get ready for bed."
"I’m sorry." says Chloe realizing that she had hurt him with her question.
"It’s ok Chloe. Just get some rest." He kisses her on the forehead and leaves the room.
"Come on Chloe. I’ll show you your room."
Chloe follows the brunette up the stairs. Lana stops at the first room at the top of the stairs and flips on the light. She drops the purse on the floor.
"Is this my room?" Chloe asks.
"No, this is my room."
"Oh, you live here too? What happened to your parents?"
Lana avoids the question and points across the hall.
"Here’s your room."
Chloe enters the room and flips on the light. She looks around for a moment.
"Remember anything?" asks Lana as she walks into Chloe’s room.
"No." Chloe heads over to the dresser and picks up one of the pictures.
"That’s you, me, Pete and Clark." Lana points to each person as she says their name. "They’re your friends."
Chloe sets the picture back down.
"Well I’ll let you get some sleep. The bathroom is down the hall on the right." Says Lana as she walks out the door.
"Lana" Chloe stops her. "Thanks for everything."
"You bet. Goodnight Chloe."
The brunette leaves the room and Chloe is alone. She turns and stares into the mirror at a face she did not recognize. She walks over to the bed that she doesn’t ever remember sleeping in. She collapses onto it and begins to cry. She cries herself to sleep. She wonders if she will ever be Chloe Sullivan again.
