A/N: Sorry this part took so long to come, and that it's so short.  I'm just kinda blocked on this story.

 

    Willow sighed as she relaxed on the bed in her motel room.  She'd had a great time that day with Clark, Chloe, and Lex.  Chloe's tales of the weird happenings in Smallville had really caught her interest.  Willow had decided that she would call Giles in the morning, and tell him that she would be staying in Kansas a while longer.  She wanted to research Chloe's meteor theory.

 

    Truth be told, she also wanted more time to spend with her new friends.  After her meeting with Lionel Luthor tomorrow, she would be having lunch with Chloe, Clark, Lex, Lana, and their friend Pete, whom Willow hadn't met yet.  She especially wanted to spend some more time with Lex.  Since Oz had left, no one had really caught Willow's eye.  But Lex certainly had.  He had flirted with her the entire day, and Willow had flirted right back.

 

    Tomorrow was her meeting with Lionel.  She was a little scared.  From everything she had heard, the elder Luthor was not a good man.  But there shouldn't be any problems.  She had the money that Giles had given her, and all she had to do was give it to Lionel, and get the book. Willow was very curious as to what kind of magic book it was; it had to be important, as Giles had been tracking it down for a long time.

 

    Though she had been in Smallville for less than 24 hours, Willow already had several goals for her trip: 1. Get Giles' book 2. Research meteor mutants 3. Push Clark and Chloe together and 4. Get to know Sexy Lexy better.    All right, so she would only be in town for a limited amount of time, it wasn't like she could have a really serious relationship with Lex. But Willow didn't really know if she was in the mood for a serious relationship.  She just wanted someone to have a good time with, to flirt with a little, maybe go to dinner a few times, that sort of thing.

 

 

Meanwhile at the Sullivan house

 

 

    "Clark, I think I found something."  Chloe said as her friend returned to her room with coffee in hand.

 

    Clark hurried over and put the coffee mugs down on the desk.  "Yeah?  What did you find?"

 

    Chloe bit her lip as she read more of the computer screen.  "This is seriously strange. Apparently the term Hellmouth is literal.  According to this site Willow's hometown is sitting on top a mouth of hell.  It acts as some sort of magnet for vampires and demons."

 

    Clark and Chloe exchanged a long look.

 

    "This can't be true, can it Chloe?"

 

    "I don't know," Chloe shrugged.  "I mean, it seems more than a little farfetched, but so does a lot of the stuff that happens here in Smallville.

 

    Clark nodded.  "Maybe we should go talk to Willow.  There has to be some story to explain this."

 

    Chloe stood up, "You're right.  I wrote her motel information down, let's go talk to her."

 

    Clark almost smiled as Chloe went into reporter mode.  Sometimes it bothered him, but when he really thought about it, it was also part of what he loved about her.  She just wouldn't be Chloe without her investigative spirit.

 

    Impulsively, Clark gave Chloe a hug.  "Hey, thanks for helping me with this."

 

    Chloe's eyes widened in surprise at the hug.  A huge smile crossed her face; nothing could beat a Clark Kent hug.  "No problem, Clark.  That's what friends are for.  Besides, it 's not like I have a life or anything."

 

    Clark smiled. "All right, Chlo.  Let's find out what's going on."
