SV dabble for valarltd. 1st line is hers, rest is mine.

I feel incredibly stupid dressed as a cartoon character. It's a fact I mention to Clark. Repeatedly. But he just smiles in that way he has that seems to light up the entire room.

His smile also has the unfortunate side effect of making me forget what I was just talking about, but I'm going to assume that's not intentional. I'm in a good mood, stupid costumes aside, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

"It's for a good cause, Lex."

And oh, yes, now I remember. I was objecting to being made into a public mockery. While I may like to read Warrior Angel, I never wanted to dress up as him. Not even for the annual Smallville Halloween Carnival.

But Clark's smiling again, and suddenly it doesn't seem quite so horrible.
