The Planet graced each guest with something special. Something that they can hold onto from what they left behind. And that was the power to make your room look like anything you could imagine. When Lois would wake up every morning, it felt like she was waking up at her small apartment above the town coffee shop called The Talon. It was the only thing she had left to remember. Every little detail, every dish, every furniture, was all in place.. exactly how it would be if she came back to the real thing. Even though it replicates her home, there was something about the place that made her feel... empty. She was alone.

The determined brunette did spend the last few days finding ways to go back, she even did countless research about the planet. As of right now she knew where everything was, she knew that the resort can change dramatically as well. Lois was beginning to adapt.

Right now, Lois was sitting on her sofa.. her wavy chestnut locks were nicely curled and spilled perfectly down her back.. she wore an aqua coloured teeshirt with a pair of dark denim bootcut jeans.. She was seen holding a framed picture of her and her cousin, Chloe Sullivan.. celebrating a birthday together. She smiled as that moment from the picture was coming to mind. Oh they had a blast. She also remembered how she almost lost Chloe.. and that weakened her smile.. "I am not.. going to lose you again." She said outloud with each word very direct. Her eyes started to water.. but Lois chose to fight her emotions. Lois then realized something.. what if she wasn't the only one who was brought here from Kansas? What if Chloe was wondering around the building right now was we speak? Or Clark for that matter? It was possible.. and the only way to find out was to not be couped up in her apartment. She sprung from her sofa and set the picture back on the end table.

The future star reporter grabbed one her jackets, this one being a women's trench coat due to the crazy weather.. then decided leave her apartment and face the new world again from her old one. Lois felt extremely coffee deprived. It was certainly a substitute from her other habit, which was smoking. And she was not about to ruin all of her hard work-- because she ran out of cigarettes. Lois could easily get some more, but coffee was easier. She left her room building and quickly faced the rain and wind to walk over to the next building which held the Coffee bar and internet room as well as the sitting room. Pushing the doors open knowing well her hair was dampened and tattered from the weather.. but she did not care. She instantly sat herself up at the counter and removed her coat.

"Espresso, pronto." She said quickly towards the stone golem on the other side of the counter. And it was quick.. there was a small glass of espresso sitting infront of her in the next 30 seconds. She picked up the small cup and knocked it back despite how hot it was. It burned her throat and she probably shouldn't have done that. After she swallowed it down she released a nice

"Whoo!--Hold on there Stoney, I need a grande regular with cream and sugar." The stone golem did what it was told and delivered her beverage. Caffeine was like fuel to Lois.. it made her focus more, think straighter, and certainly more alert. Lois decided to take this one a littler slower this time.. holding the hot beverage to lips.. her hazel eyes sort of looking around.. the place was a little busier due to the chaos outdoors. Hoping to see a familiar blonde, or a confused farm boy..

Clark just smirked as Lois talked her big game. He imagined that he'd let her win this one. It'd probably do wonders for her ego, and even though she'd more than likely go on and on and on about it until the end of days it was better than having to deal with her sulking. He didn't exactly know what it entailed, but usually she'd drag Chloe off to watch girl movies or whatnot, and given that he was the only thing resembling a friend in this world he had a secret fear that Lois wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer if she decided he would do for a surrogate 'girlfriend'. Heaven forbid.

Unfortunately, Clark had been entirely too lost in his thoughts when Lois came at him, and though he'd been expecting her to run past him he didn't expect the body check, and thus didn't have enough time to feign falling over before she rebounded off of him as if he were a brick wall. He did have enough reaction time to catch her though, so even though she went down she would find it didn't hurt nearly as much as it should have, Clark kneeling down beside her, having only caught her a few inches from the ground.

His body felt just as warm as the aura around it had, and if Lois appreciated the view, it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine the bare muscles wrapped around her would be enough to inspire a reaction of some sort. Clark, for his part, had a slightly bewildered look on his face, reminding her, if she cared to think of it, that he was at heart a clueless farmboy who wouldn't try to make a move like this on a girl if his life had depended on it. And he paused for entirely too long there before he lightly set her down and began to slide his arms from her, a light blush on his face.

"Er... sorry. I should have been more careful..." he said, his 'I'm going to whoop you' act now dissolved into a mass of embarassment.

Lois did not expect that one to happen either.. He actually caught her. Despite the way she would trash talk towards him.. even burn him several times. He took a swift initiative to free her from an embarrasing fall and catch her. It made her think of all the times in the past.. where he always seem to be there to catch her. Wow. He has saved her ass quite a few times. Thinking about the time she almost drowned in some strange sewer.. he found her. The time where she electricuted herself in her apartment.. Wow. Lois is realizing maybe she really should go easy on this guy. But it is just so much fun. And when he heard her apologize she just shook her head..

"Don't worry about it.. I can take it. You warned me--sorta. It's not like I've never been man-handled before.--Okay that uh came out wrong." Lois tried not to be.. impressed by his perfectly toned.. moist.. exposed body. She was a girl for goodness sake. Standing herself back upright.. with the ball in her hands.. then tossing it over to him.

"Your ball, Smallville. And uhh-- thanks for catching me." She softly muttered..that last remark.. Why was it so hard to thank him? Who knows.. that's what you get for being stubborn.. Lois circled him.. and got once more in a player's stance.. "Time's a runnin' out, Smallville.. What's the score again?" She said trying to change the subject.. being very extremely good at trying to escape from an awkward situation.

"And put your shirt back on for God's sakes. I'm distracted enough already." Lois couldn't help but say it..

Clark tried to shake off the fact that Lois' body had felt very warm next to his, that the feeling of her warmth still radiated against his frame as she and he sort of shared the awkward silence and then her getting up on her feet. He didn't exactly meet her eye as she tried to explain away the fact that she'd asked him not to go easy on her, and sort of blushed in a way that she might have found cuter if she wasn't the cynical type who didn't believe that farm boys as naieve as Clark still existed. Yet there he was, looking as ashamed as if he'd torn her clothes off. He caught the ball, and blinked as she mentioned the score, not even having a comment in retort to her 'man handled' statement.

"Uh sorry..." he apologized again and slipped on his shirt. It was still wet, and thus hung from his muscles and frame a little too tightly. It wasn't much better than seeing him bare chested, but maybe a little. "It's uh, 2 up..." he said, shaking his head slowly, remembering that he was going to throw the game for Lois. Still, right now the two of them were a bit tongue tied, and him being weak in the game would only make things worse.

Dribbling the ball once then he took a few steps to the outside, slowing down a little for a shot to the basket. Lois could stop it pretty easily with a jump if she was paying attention... Clark hope that she was, as somehow this whole thing had only gotten a whole lot more awkward. He made sure to take special note of where she was though, so that if she slammed into him again he could fake like she'd knocked him over.

Lois noticed a little change in his behavior.. it was frustrating the hell out of her. It was as if he turned into some kind of.. robot that continually says 'I'm Sorry'.. Which was very rare to hear that come out of Clark's mouth.. and at her for that matter.. Lois noticed his slow movements.. and snatched the ball.. But stopped moving.

"Whoa-whoa hold on. Since when do you suddenly do what I tell you?" She said while she gently tossed it up and catching it again.. Noticing that he abided by her command to put his shirt back on.. She really was shocked. "What is the matter with you? Why aren't you being yourself? Have you already forgotten? It's me.. Good lord, you're giving me the same look you always gave to Lana.."

When she said that out loud she took realization of what she said.. Always speaking before she thinks. Did.. Clark have a crush on her? Sure she felt the same awkwardness when he caught her.. But it was something that never really came to mind.. conciously.. There may have be a subconcious interest.. but Lois never knew that! She was too stubborn to even admit that he was charming sometimes. And heroic. She tossed the ball over her shoulder..

"You win." She said bluntly.. then turned around to walk away. If she stuck around any longer she may have said more than what she should have.

Clark smirked a little as Lana grabbed the ball and took a step forward to try to at least make it look like he was in the game when she stopped, and called him out. He looked rather confused as to what was going on, but stopped, as it was clear they were no longer playing a game. And then she started laying into him. Clark tried to get a word in edgewise, but when Lois got to talking it wasn't like you could just interrupt her. Maybe it was the 'general's parenting, or perhaps it was being an army brat for most of her life, but Lois wasn't one to be interrupted.

"I-" Clark tried to say that he'd been a bit uncomfortable too, but Lois wouldn't let him get a word in... before she said 'that'.

Looking akin to a fish that had somehow stumbled onto land, Clark's eyes bulged slightly as he tried to process what she had just said. She and Lana were complete opposites. Lana was nice, sweet, charming, the sort of lady who melted your heart every time that you looked at her. On the other hand Lois was rude, obnoxious, obscene, not lady like at all, and more than anything ANNOYING AS HELL. The very thought of Clark being attracted to the real life equivalent of the shrew from Shakespeare's 'Taming of the Shrew' was so outlandish he wanted to laugh...

But Lois was serious.

Clark opened his mouth and closed it, thinking of what to say, half snorting a little as if to say 'what is wrong with you?', but then suddenly Lois turned from him, admitting, of all things, defeat. Clark was stunned. Staring at her back he let her walk away a few steps, wondering what the feeling of a dagger being plunged into his chest was... and then it began to dawn on him. Maybe the idea of even being in a relationship with him was really that... awful. He'd thought since Alicia wanted him that maybe... maybe Lana would too. But Alicia was crazy and Lois... Lois was more independant, the way Lana wanted to be. Even if he told Lana the truth... would this be the eventual result?

And suddenly Clark felt the need to breath more than ever. With Lana having her back to him, suddenly she would feel a sudden gust of wind fly past her as Clark hightailed it out of there at super speed, causing her ponytail to whip around in her face for a moment. By the time she would think to turn around or wonder, Clark would be long gone into the storm that raged outside.
