Summary/Notes: Chloe Lex Pete Clark Lana camping...........Hehehehehe oh the screwed up things I can have happen!
"Tell me your joking!"* Chloe all but yelled at Clark.
"No I'm not joking, I want you to come."* Clark told her.*
"No, there is no why in hell I'm going camping with you, Pete, and Lana!"*
Chloe said, turning back to her computer.
"Please, Chloe remember how much fun you, Pete and I had on our last camping
trip!" he said giving her a pathetic puppy dog look.
"Yes I do, I fell off a mountain!" Chloe reminded him.
"It was a rock, Chlo."* Clark told her. They clearly had to different options
on the matter.
"It was a freaking BIG one!" Chloe exclaimed getting out of her chair to
grab her things.
"Come on, Chloe if you don't go then, Lana won't go."* Clark said.
"How did you get, Lana to go anyway?" Chloe asked him, the fiery princess
didn't seem like the camping type.
"I told her you would be going, so she said yes as long as you come."* Clark
said, avoiding eye contact with her.
"What?* No, I'm not going!"* Chloe said walking out of the Torch office. To her
annoyance Clark followed.
"Come on Chlo, even Lex is going!"* He said as she was walking away.* Chloe
stopped a turned around, astonished by this new piece of information.
"You talked Lex Luthor into going camping with a bunch of high school
students?"* Chloe asked.
"Yeah, he is even renting a car for us to take. He said he's never been
camping and wanted to give it a try" Clark told her.
'Lex Luthor and Lana Lang camping without indoor plumbing or air
conditioning I gotta see this' Chloe thought.
She smiled at Clark and said, "Okay sure I'll go." And walked away.
~* 3 Days Later 4:30 AM* ~
Saying that Chloe Sullivan wasn't happy was a gross understatement. She was
down right pissed.*
'I didn't know there was a 4:30 AM on a Saturday, hell I didn't even know
there was a 10AM on a Saturday!'* Chloe thought, as she did her last minute
packing before everyone came to get her.
* * Fifteen minutes later her door bell rang.* Chloe grabbed her duffle bag and
headed towards the door, still not completely awake.* When she opened the door
she was greeted by a big cup of steaming coffee. It was being held out to her by
Lex Luthor.
"I bring a peace offering from all of us."* Lex said, handing her the coffee,
earning him a smile of gratitude from Chloe.
"What, were you the only one brave enough to come near me at 4:30 am?"* she
asked as they walked towards the car.
"No, I drew the smallest straw." Lex said opening the passenger side door for
her.
When Chloe got into the car she was greeted by a very perky, Lana and a very
happy, Clark.
"Good morning, Chloe isn't this going to be great! A whole weekend camping and
hiking!* We're going to have so much fun!"* Lana said in almost an entire
breath.
'Does she ever breath and how the hell can she talk so much while smiling
like that.' Chloe thought.
She looked over at the three other people in the car.* Clark was nodding his
head in agree meant of Lana's bubbly rambling.* Pete had his eyes closed and
seemed to be half asleep and yet half a wake. Then she turned to look at Lex
and noticed he was grabbing the siring wheel a little to tightly.* He looked
over at her quickly and rolled his eyes.* Chloe had to bite her lip to keep
herself from laughing.*
At that moment, Chloe noticed that, Lana was still going on in her happy
little, perky voice.
"Yes, Lana it's going to be great."* Chloe said with as much happiness as she
could mustered, which wasn't very much considering she had only had half a cup
of coffee.
"Morn, Chlo"* came a mumble from Pete.
"Hey, Pete I thought I was the only person here that dislikes getting up before
the sun. What's wrong with you?" Chloe asked.
"Stay the night at Clark's, he wouldn't shut up, no sleep, going to kill him
when I can move." Pete mumbled half heartily, punching Clark on the shoulder.*
Everyone else in the car laughed.
"Well, I'm going to have to make sure to get that on film" Chloe said pulling
out her camera.
"You brought you camera camping?* Come now Chloe even I did not bring any work
with me, yet you are going to take pictures and probably write an article on
this trip"* Lex said with a smirk.
"Hey, unlike those who run multi million dollar corporations, journalists can
not* afford to take vacations, not that I would consider this as a
vacation." Chloe added the last part with a glare at Clark. Not that he noticed
he and Lana were to busy blabbing on and on to each other, each sporting a goofy
grin.
For the next four hours they talked, laughed, joked, and in Chloe's case slept.
At one point she noticed something funny: they were all getting along pretty
well it seemed as if everyone was making an effort to get along, even Lex.*
This seemed somewhat unusual to Chloe but it was comforting at the same time.
At last they pulled up to the campsite and got out.* The five of them
surveyed their surroundings.* 'Well, I don't think it's going to be that
bad' Chloe thought, as the guys unloaded the car.
"This is going to be great isn't Chloe?* We get to share a tent!* We can stay
up late, talk, and do each other's hair!" Lana said, jumping up and down.
'I thought to soon, the nights are going to be hell.' Chloe thought as
she said out load in a dead pan voice, "Yeah Lana great..."
"Well, I guess we should begin to put up the tents." Clark said pulling the
needed items out of the bags.
"Clark, do you know how to put the tents up?" Lex asked eyeing the equipment.
"It's been awhile but it shouldn't be that hard." Clark answered.
Remembering the last camping trip, Chloe smiled holding back laughter 'I
wonder if he'll take under 5 hours this time? This should be fun to
watch.' Chloe thought sitting down on a rock to watch the guys set up the
tent with, Lana babbling near by.
