Lois was cleaning up the apartment kitchen. That was the deal she and Chloe had. Chloe would cook if Lois cleaned up afterwards. She normally grumbled all the time she did it. She hated housework, but she was so happy to be back home that she didn't mind it right now. They'd only been gone a couple of days, but it felt like an eternity.

Katie had gotten a hold of her home phone number as well and had called 3 times since they got back. That number was going to have to be changed too. Katie had figured out that Clark was a senator's son. She had managed to get a hold of Mrs. Kent and Mrs. Kent, thinking she was Lois' friend, had given her the numbers.

She and Clark told Perry the story. He didn't like the situation, but he agreed about not being able to print it. He still gave them jobs at the Planet.

They'd run into a hitch with the annulment. They couldn't efficiently explain why they needed an annulment, since the story had to remain a government secret. To make it easier, they were going to get a divorce, which would take a little while but didn't present a problem as neither one of the were getting married in the near future.

Somebody knocked on the door, so Lois had to stop and answer it. It was Lana. "Lana, what a pleasant surprise," Lois said as genuinely as possible. "Do you want to talk to Chloe?"

"I'm looking for Clark. Is he here?"

"No. I haven't seen him since we got back yesterday."

"Oh," Lana said, but she didn't move away from the door.

"Do you want to come in?" Lois asked.

"Thank you," Lana said, coming in and dropping her coat on the couch.

"I'm sorry that you thought Clark and I were married for a little while there." Lois squinted and looked toward the bathroom Chloe was occupying. She thought she'd heard a giggle.

"Oh, I didn't even believe it when Mrs. Kent called and told me. I mean the whole thing is so ridiculous, I knew there had to be something to it."

Lois' attention focused back on Lana. "Ridiculous?" Lois asked defensively. "Why is it ridiculous?"

"Because it's you and Clark," Lana said with a smile. "You and Clark," she repeated slowly, thinking Lois hadn't gotten it.

"I heard you the first time," Lois snapped. She thought she heard another stifled giggle in the bathroom, but she was more worried about Lana right now. "There's nothing ridiculous about it. Clark and I could get married. In fact, we are. The divorce process hasn't been completed yet."

This time there was a very loud giggle. "What is that girl doing in there?" Lois asked. She opened the bathroom door. Clark and Chloe sat cross-legged on the bathroom floor watching something on Chloe's laptop. They looked up in surprise and Chloe quickly closed it.

Lana, who was curious, had come too. Lois looked at them with suspicion. "What are you two watching?"

"Um," Clark stuttered, desperately wracking his brain for an answer.

"Looney Tunes," Chloe answered. "You know how much Clark and I love that show, who doesn't? It cracks me up every time I watch it. 'Duck season. Rabbit Season' It's classic."

"Then why are you hiding it?" Lois asked. "And when did Clark sneak in anyway?"

"He has his ways," Chloe answered, "and who says we're hiding anything?"

"You're camped out on the bathroom floor and you shut it when I came in. That's called hiding it."

"Clark's embarrassed. He loves Elmer Fudd and he doesn't want anyone to know it."

Lois gave that some thought. That could be perfectly true. "Then let me see it." She said stepping further into the bathroom, Lana at her heels. They gathered around the laptop. "Turn it on."

"I really don't think that's necessary," Chloe said.

"Well, I do," Lois replied.

"You might as well show her," Clark said. "She'd probably find out sooner or later anyway."

Chloe sighed and raised it up and pushed play. Lois' face was one of shock and horror when she what was being played. It was her and Clark's fake wedding. They were at the part where Lois was lifting up her skirt to take out the rings.

Chloe laughed. "You did that at your wedding?"

Lois glared, sobering Chloe up. "It wasn't a real wedding and I had jeans on. I may be kind of tactless but even I wouldn't do that at my real wedding. Now hand over that disc."

"Just let me see the kiss first," Chloe begged.

"No," Lois said, reaching down to push the eject button, but Chloe managed to hold her off long enough to see the kiss and then she let Lois have it. Lois took the disc and threw it on the floor. She stomped on it with her shoe, effectively cracking it.

Chloe just shook her head. "You must think we're pretty stupid."

"Why?" Lois asked warily.

"That was just one of the copies Clark made for me," Chloe said with a smile. "I also thought it was worthy of youtube. This isn't the first time I've watched it actually, but it gets funnier every time."

Chloe jumped up and left the room at a brisk pace. Lois processing just what that all meant chased after her. "Chloe, get your butt back here. We're not through."

Clark chuckled.

"You love her, don't you?" Lana asked out of the blue.

"What?" Clark asked, looking up at her surprised.

"I can tell. It's in your eyes when you look at her. It's on that tape."

He sighed, "I know."

"For what it's worth, I'm happy for you. I thought you two were a couple, back when I first saw you guys together. You make a good pair and she'll realize that just like you did."

"I don't know. She wants that divorce pretty badly."

"The timing's wrong, the match isn't."

"Sometimes you surprise me, Lana. Thanks."

She smiled and left.

Clark opened up the laptop and went to youtube. Chloe hadn't been joking. He watched their fake wedding with a smile. Someday his ex-wife would be his wife again. He was sure of it.

The End
