Smallville2001

[Chloe has a flashback to the day she met Clark in middle school. They are up in Clark's loft]

Young Chloe Sullivan:
[about Clark's telescope] Wow, sweet setup, Clark. Spend your night spying on any unsuspecting neighbors?

Young Clark Kent:
No, I like... looking at the stars.

Young Chloe Sullivan:
I guess you truly are a gentleman farmer. Emerson and Thoreau have nothing on you!... I spend way too much of my time reading.

Young Clark Kent:
Actually, I love reading. I don't have that much time to make a lot of friends. My dad keeps me pretty busy with chores.

Young Chloe Sullivan:
My mom left me when I was really young. After that, I was afraid to make friends, because... I just thought they'd all end up leaving too. So I buried my nose in books. Although, I think I lost one of my favorites when we moved. Tales of the Weird and Unexplained. Something tells me I won't find much of the weird or unexplained here in Norman Rockwell's neighborhood. [Clark superspeeds away behind Chloe's back, and comes back with the book Chloe mentioned]

Young Clark Kent:
Smallville's more than just dairy cows. We have a pretty good public library. [Chloe sees it and smiles, and then she goes over to Clark and gives him a brief kiss] What was that for?

Young Chloe Sullivan:
I know you've been thinking about it all day. So I figured we'd just get it out of the way and be friends.
