She's lying.

Why would she?

She's not lying! I have this on very good authority.

She's not the only one.

Your dad? I didn't get to talk to him much.

Well, yeah he does, but I kind of meant me. I like you, too.

Oh. Well, I knew that.

I'll just stop telling you, then.

*sad face*

He likes you too, sweetie.

Really?

Of course.

Then again, Jonathan likes just about everyone. Besides the Luthors.

I've heard a little about them from Clark.

Yes, well, they...do seem to be in our lives far more than ~~they~~ we would like.

Oh. My sympathies, then.

Share your sympathies with Clark and Jonathan. I'm just fine with how things are. ~~I shouldn't be though.~~

I haven't met either of them, so my opinion is only formed on Clark's. But he's not too impressed with my best friend, so I kind of understand. A little.

What has Clark told you about them?

And who is that? Your best friend, I mean.

Just that he and Lex were friends once and that I shouldn't deal with them.

His name is Teja, and he's ... well, he was a warrior in another life. They kind of get protective of me when the other is mentioned.

Yes, you probably shouldn't.

Well, that sounds awfully...awkward, I suppose. Though I can't claim not to be in a...similar situation.

Probably not. That doesn't mean I won't be polite if I do run into them.

It is. And a little amusing too, watching my best friend turn into a neanderthal.

watching my best friend turn into a neanderthal.

Better him than your husband, I guess.

Or one's boyfriend. Clark's seriously protective, and occasionally forgets I can take care of myself.

~~Usually~~.

Don't I know it.

It's just his way.

It'd be a little more annoying sometimes if he wasn't actually trying to look out for me.

The boyscout.

You bet she does, kiddo.

*wink*

I'm gonna glee about this for a little while.

And I like you too, Mrs Kent.

I'm happy we've made you so happy, dear.

Oh, aren't you just a darling?

Well, it's important to get along with the parents of one's significant other. I mean, I'd still date him even if we didn't, but I'm glad we do.

I'm never getting rid of this blush.

I like to think Clark wouldn't date someone without our approval. But then, I don't think we would ever dislike someone he cared about so deeply.

Nope, not as long as I'm around!

I'm just going to be over here in the corner, blushing.

For what it's worth, Mrs Kent, if you were dead set against Clark dating me, I know he'd break it off.

With the way he feels about you, I'm not so sure he would!

It doesn't matter. You're his mom. I'm just the girlfriend.

But that does kinda make me warm and fuzzy anyway.

Yes, well, he doesn't have to spend the rest of his life with me. And I'm sure he would back me up if he were here.

Yeah, he probably would. And be completely smug about it, too.

That's my boy! ;)

Does Mr Kent do the same thing?

Where do you think Clark gets it?

Like father, like son. Aha! Then I'll just have to buy them both matching something for the Solst... er, the Christmas holidays.

Ha! They'll never wear it!

Yes they will. It'll just have to be something sneaky that they wouldn't think not to. Ties, hats, suspenders, pocket kerchiefs.

Good luck to you, then. My boys are both clever and stubborn.
