So if Lois and Clark seem a little OOC, it's because I've been watching a lot of That 70's Show recently and Eric and Donna from the early seasons remind me of Lois and Clark, so I feel like I accidently fused the two couples together, but I think it works.

Chapter 6

The movie had just finished. The brownies were almost gone from the pan, devoured within ten minutes of being done. Jonathan was just standing up, intending on fetching Kal and seeing how their mysterious guest was doing when the two appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

"Lois?" Chloe asked, shocked. She stared at her cousin in confusion. "What are you doing here?"

"Hey cuz," Lois smiled, waving. "Apparently Smallville and I took a trip down the time line."

"Smallville?" Clark asked, staring at Lois in confusion.

"Yeah," she smirked, "my little nickname for you."

Kal smiled. "She calls me Smallville more than my actual name."

Clark's eyebrows raised. "And how do we know each other?"

Lois's smirk deepened, almost turning evil. "Well… that is quite the story." She looked at Kal who rolled his eyes. He knew what she was going to say. "Our first meeting was quite… memorable."

"How so?" Chloe asked, curious. She had always wanted her favorite cousin to meet her best friend and was curious how it happened.

"Well," Lois strolled into the living room, pulling Kal with her. "I was driving through town, lost, when something caused me to veer off the road. I ended up in a cornfield where I saw Smallville here." She sent him a look, lost on everyone but Kal who pushed down a blush. "Imagine my surprise when I saw Smallville, in all his glory… naked."

Martha's mouth dropped, Jonathan's eyes went wide as he swung his gaze towards his son who turned bright red and was looking mortified. Pete burst out laughing while Chloe's eyes were so wide they looked close to falling out.

"What?" Clark yelped, his face burning.

Kal rolled his eyes, not really embarrassed anymore. "Yeah, extenuating circumstances caused me to be naked and for my memory to be gone."

"You lost your memory?" Jonathan cut in, worry coating his words. Kal nodded.

"Yeah, it's a long story that I can't get into without revealing too much of the future." He then turned to Lois, his voice now teasing as he smirked at her. "Besides, a couple months later, Lois returned the favor."

She scowled at him, not noticing the wide eyes and gaping mouths of the others. "You're the one who didn't knock!"

"I came to warn you that your date was a hitman! You're the one who jumped out of the bathroom, naked, wielding a scrubber as a weapon!" Kal laughed.

"What?" Chloe couldn't believe what she was hearing. The guy she's in love with had seen her cousin naked and was joking about it like it was no big deal. Not to mention, that her cousin had seen him naked too.

"Eh, it's a long story," Lois shrugged, smiling. "Smallville and I have lots of history." She sent him another smirk. "The Kents are family to me."

"We are?" Jonathan asked, confused at how this girl he just met becomes so close to his son and their family.

"Oh yeah," Lois sent him a huge smile. She was just barely able to hold herself back from launching forward and giving him a huge hug. She and Mr. Kent had gotten extremely close during his campaign and when he died she felt like her father died. He had certainly treated her like his own daughter. "Though, our first meeting didn't go very well."

Kal chuckled. "Well, what did you expect? Mom knocks on the bathroom door, I answer, wearing nothing but a towel, and you pop up behind me wearing nothing but my shirt."

Chloe felt like someone punched her in the chest.

Martha's face seemed to match the one she wore during the incident while Jonathan didn't know if he should scold Clark or laugh.

Lois rolled her eyes. "It's not like anything happened. You were taking a marathon shower and I had to get ready! Our clothes were dirty after the helicopter chase, so I had to borrow your shirt while mine was in the washer. God, you're such a prude."

"Helicopter chase?" Pete asked, no longer able to suppress his grin. He liked this woman.

"Eh," Lois rolled her eyes, "not a big deal. My dad just being overprotective."

"Your dad?" Clark asked, voice hoarse. His face was so red you could cook an egg on it. He couldn't believe what he was hearing and seeing. The way his future self was so at ease with this woman confused him. He's never been completely comfortable or himself with anyone but his parents, and now Pete, before. But obviously he was going to be with Lois it seemed.

"My dad's a four-star General." Lois shrugged.

"Uncle Sam gets another star?" Chloe asked, desperate for the conversation to change into more safe waters.

Lois shrugged again. "Yeah."

Kal bit his lip. He knew the General was a sore subject for Lois.

"Wait," he said suddenly, frowning in thought, "did you call me a prude?"

She smirked. "Well, if the shoe fits Smallville. You are the prudiest prude. Not much fun either." She teased, eyes lit with a challenge.

He stared at her, rising to the challenge she presented. "Oh, you think that do you?"

She cocked an eyebrow, daring him. "I do."

"Oh yeah," he narrowed his eyes at her then went for the kill. He lunged, grabbing her by the waist and lightly throwing her to the floor, her shriek piercing the room. The others immediately jumped to their feet, unsure what was happening as he climbed on top of her, placing his knees on either side of her hips as he tickled her mercilessly.

"S-stop!" She laughed, desperately trying to dislodge his hands.

"Take it back!" He laughed as he continued to assault her.

She managed to free one of her legs which she used to hook around his hip and twist. She sent him to the floor and proceeded to playfully wrestle with him, like they did when they lived together, and Clark took the last cupcake or slice of pie that she wanted.

As they flopped around the floor, a brownie on the coffee table caught Lois' eye and an idea formed.

Quickly, she grabbed Kal's hair with one hand and the brownie with the other. Holding his head still she smashed the brownie all over his face, Kal going completely still as she continued to smear the chocolate treat all over.

"Oh, sorry," she purred, still smooshing the desert, "thought you looked hungry."

She pulled her hand back, bits of brownie falling to the floor as she shook her hand, trying to get the goo off. Kal had chocolate goo spread across his face, some even in his hair. He pursed his lip and stared at her with a narrowed gaze.

"What?" Lois smiled, shrugging innocently. Kal stared at her for a moment longer before he smiled.

"You know Loise," he slowly began to stalk towards her, Lois backing up as he did. "I couldn't possibly eat all this brownie by myself." He grabbed her by the waist and yanked her towards him. He then proceeded to rub his face all over hers, her laughing protests ringing in his ear.

She smacked his chest once he released her, both their faces flushed from their playful encounter and bits of brownie coating their face.

"Thanks, Smallville," Lois laughed, grabbing a towel off the coffee table and began scrubbing her face.

Kal gave a large smile. "Anytime, Lois." He grabbed the towel from her once she was done and proceeded to clean his own mess.

Once they were both brownie free they remembered that they weren't alone.

The others were staring at them with wide eyes and mouths gaping open. Clark was blushing like mad while Chloe's eyes were shining with hurt. Pete was biting his lip to keep from laughing and Martha and Jonathan were staring at Kal with undisguised shock. They had never seen Clark so carefree and playful before. If this was what having Lois around did to their son, then it was no wonder they accepted her so easily.

Kal cleared his throat. "Sorry about that. Lois and I sometimes get carried away."

Lois didn't appear embarrassed at all. "Sorry, Kal said we had to talk about some things. Like how we get home and whatnot. We should probably do that now."

Jonathan nodded, breaking out of his shock. Everyone went back to where they were sitting before things got out of hand. Chloe, Clark and Pete sat on the couch while Martha and Jonathan each took a chair. Kal noticed that only the armchair by the window was left so he claimed it, knowing Lois was just going to perch herself on the armrest anyway.

Sure enough, once he was seated Lois plopped herself down on the armrest closest to the couch.

"So," Chloe drawled, looking between Kal and Lois, "how do you guys plan on getting home?"

Kal sighed, knowing his parents would never approve of what he was about to do. "Well, to explain that, I have to tell you something first." Clark's eyes widened but he was too slow to stop Kal from uttering "I'm an alien" like he was commenting on the weather or something.

Chloe seemed to be frozen as everyone in the room waited for her reaction. She blinked and shook her head slightly. "I'm sorry, I think I heard you wrong. What did you say?"

Kal gave her a small smile. "You heard right Chloe. I'm an alien."

Her eyes widened as she gave a strangled gasp before doing something no one, including Kal, could have predicted.

She fainted.
