This piece had originally started out as a one shot, but then it kind of mutated into a full story. This is just a little look into the lives of Clark, Lois, Oliver, and Chloe and a weekend that could only happen to these four. I thought it'd be nice to write a story about a vacation they take together and how quickly things turn upside down for them. Set in season nine, sometime between Checkmate and Upgrade, and it is very much AU. Enjoy.

DISCLAIMER: I have no authority over Smallville. Quit badgering me.

It was a slow Friday in Kansas. Lois and Clark were off from work for the weekend unless a major story sprung up in the busy city of Metropolis. Chloe took some time off from playing watchtower for the Justice League since everyone went off on their own for a few days and Oliver decided to play hooky from work, leaving Luthor Corp. in the hands of trusted employees. Now the quad was sitting in the living room of Lois and Chloe's little apartment above the Talon. Oliver was sprawled out on the carpet with his feet propped up on the coffee table. Chloe was lounging in the orange beanbag chair next to him with her feet snuggled underneath him. Clark was sitting leisurely on one end of the couch, resting his left arm on the armrest and his head laying against the back of the couch. Lois was laying along the rest of the couch with her head on the other armrest and her feet were supported in Clark's lap.

The clock on wall struck twelve.

"This bites. We finally get a couple days off all at the same time and we can't think of a single thing to do," Lois griped, grabbing a throw pillow and smacking Clark in the face before settling back down in her laying position.

"Hey!" he complained. "And that's my fault?"

"No, I just like to hit you," she shrugged with an innocent smile.

"Oh, really?" He grabbed her ankles and pulled on them, causing her head to slide off the armrest and lay fully on her back. He began to tickle her feet.

"Clark! Come on, stop," Lois yelled through giggles while futilely trying to pry her feet out of his hands.

"Say your sorry!"

"No!"

Clark smirked and moved his hands to her stomach where he continued his tickle assault. He shifted to get better access and ended up hovering over her.

"Okay, okay! I give! I'm sorry!" Lois screeched and laughed when she saw Clark leaning over her. He smiled and leaned down to kiss her lips softly. Lois wrapped her arms around his back and returned the kiss with a little more passion.

"Oh, god, Ollie," Chloe griped, breaking through their reverie. "We're never going to be able to sit on that couch again if they don't quit now."

Lois and Clark broke apart with identical blushes creeping onto their faces. Clark moved from leaning over her to his previous sitting position.

"Yeah, I know. Whatever happened to taking it slow?" Oliver asked from his spot on the floor.

Lois cleared her throat in embarrassment and sat up next to Clark. "We are still taking it slow."

"Right. Their definition of slow is making out on that very same couch without shirts on," Chloe smirked. "If only I knew what I was walking in on that day."

"Hey, only Clark's shirt was off," Lois protested. "He spilled coffee all over the front of it."

"So, your solution was to push him onto the couch, climb into his lap, and tongue wrestle?" Chloe quipped, grinning at the couple's discomfort.

"Well, I didn't plan on that happening. It was just…" Lois trailed off, her cheeks reddening further. "Come on, it's Clark Kent shirtless. Who could resist?"

"I'm with you there," Chloe wiggled her eyebrows.

"Excuse me?" Oliver piped, sitting up and tossing a glare at his girlfriend.

"What? No one can deny Clark's got a sculpted body," Chloe shrugged innocently.

"Yeah, farm work really pays off," Lois smiled, moving her left hand up to the back of Clark's head and running her fingers through his hair. He turned and tossed her an sheepish smile.

"So, you're telling me that you think Clark is hot?" Oliver asked, narrowing his eyes.

"No more than you think Lois is hot," Chloe shot back.

Oliver was silent for a moment. "Touché."

Lois and Clark just turned to each other and smiled before sharing a sweet kiss. "You know, it doesn't help that Chloe and I have had feelings for both of you at one point in time," Lois pointed out.

"Yeah, that is pretty strange," Chloe said. "I mean, I had feelings for Clark, he - for a like a minute - had feelings for me, you and Ollie dated for a while. It's like we just switched boyfriends."

"Hmm, maybe one day we'll switch back," Lois joked.

"Hey!" Clark protested. "I'm not giving you up to Oliver, or anyone for that matter."

"I don't know, Clark. I wouldn't mind taking Lois back," Oliver teased.

"What am I? Chopped liver?" Chloe scoffed.

"Just kidding," Oliver said, throwing his hands up in mock surrender before leaning over to give Chloe a kiss.

"You better be or I'm going to revoke your all access pass to pantyville," Chloe smiled.

"Pantyville?" Clark smirked.

"Oh, yes. Oliver knows all about it," Chloe nodded.

"And that is a pass I do not want to lose," Oliver said.

Lois began laughing as Clark shook his head. "Too bad I can't use that on Clark."

"You know, you could," Clark said, looking at her seductively. He raised a hand to her cheek and softly caressed it. "If we ever…"

"Slow, Smallville," she whispered, leaning closer to him so that their foreheads were almost touching. "Do you know the meaning of the word?"

"I know I can't resist anything you ask for," he whispered back. "Which will definitely get me in all sorts of trouble."

"You're learning, farm boy," Lois smiled and kissed him lightly.

"Hey! Cut it out!" Chloe shouted.

"Why don't you take your man and jet off to Paris or something?" Lois threw back at her cousin playfully.

"Why? So you and Clark can have sex all over this apartment?" Chloe retorted.

"Maybe!" Lois smirked.

Clark raised an eyebrow at his girlfriend before clearing his throat. "As much as I love that idea, we all promised to do something together when we were all off from work. So, let's think of something before the weekend is over."

Everyone was quiet for a moment, trying to think of something to do. The silence was broken when Oliver snapped his fingers. "I got it!" he exclaimed with a smile. "We can take my jet to Cancun. It's beautiful this time of year. It's got amazing beaches and lots of clubs and bars. We can spend the entire weekend there and come back Monday morning."

"That sounds pretty awesome," Chloe smiled. "I think we should go."

"What happened to never taking a couple's vacation together ever again?" Clark smirked at Chloe.

"Don't think I've forgotten about the two of you taking a shower together," Lois remarked, glaring playfully at Clark and Chloe.

"I said I was sorry," Clark stressed. "I explained that whole situation to you already and that was not even the worse thing that happened on that trip." Lois simply rolled her eyes at him.

"Yeah, as long as there are no three hundred year old Scottish banshees seeking vengeance, I think we'll be okay," Chloe chuckled.

"Okay, that's one," Oliver said. "What about you, Lois?"

"Honey, you had me at 'We can take my jet'," Lois grinned, bouncing happily in her seat.

"Alright. What do you say, Clark? Wanna prance around the beach and hit up some clubs?" Oliver asked his best friend.

"I'm not one to hit up clubs…" Clark began to protest.

"Smallville, we all know you have a wild side and it's okay to let it show every once in a while," Lois said, bumping his shoulder with hers. "Please? It'll be so much fun."

Clark made the mistake of looking into her eyes. He relaxed. "Alright. It sounds like a good time."

"Great," Oliver clapped his hands together. "We'll get to packing now and meet up at Luthorcorp by three."

Chloe stood up with him and walked him down to the Talon. Clark looked over at Lois. A pensive look graced her face. He placed a hand on her knee, getting her attention. "Will you be done packing by the time I get back?"

"Clark, I used to live on the road. I learned to always leave a suitcase packed," she smiled at him. "I just have to choose which one to take."

"Go for the surfer girl one, with a few of those nightgowns you packed the last time," he winked at her.

"Clark Kent; hoping to get lucky?" Lois smirked.

"I only feel lucky when I'm with you," he said seriously.

Her face softened into a sweet smile. "Smallville, you are way too mushy." She tackled him onto his back and kissed him sensually. Her hands cradled his face as his arms wrapped around her waist. "We'll need to work on that."

"Would you rather I treat you like a trophy girlfriend?" he asked, brushing her bangs from her eyes. "Because I think I can do that."

"Don't you dare stop making me feel special," she scolded him, hitting him in the chest.

"I don't have to do anything to make you special," he said. "You already are."

Lois blushed and hit him in the chest again. "Okay, enough of that." She leaned down and began kissing him again. Before they could get too carried away, Lois slowly pulled back. "We better get a move on before Chloe walks in on more than just a missing shirt."

Clark grinned and nodded before gently sitting up, causing Lois to move as well. She wound up straddling his lap. The smiles disappeared from their faces as their eyes locked. Clark's eyes flickered to her lips for a moment, which made Lois do the same. Her hands slowly trailed up his chest as his fingers caressed the skin of her back underneath her t-shirt.

"I don't know how much longer I can do slow," he whispered, moving closer to her.

"Me, neither." She barely got the words out before their lips met in a passionate kiss. Lois wrapped her arms tightly around his neck as their lips parted and made way for their tongues.

Clark pulled her closer into his lap so that their chests were pressed against each other, but before anything more could happen, Chloe walked through the door.

"Good, god!" she exclaimed. They immediately pulled apart and Lois scrambled out of his lap. "You two need to do it already and in private because I'm not sure what else I can handle walking into."

Both of their faces contorted into humiliation. Clark cleared his throat and stood up from the couch. "Yeah, well, uh…I'm gonna head to the farm to pack. I'll see you at LutherCorp." He looked over to Lois and gave her an awkward kiss on the cheek before leaving the apartment.

Once he was gone, Chloe closed the door and turned to her cousin with a smirk on her face. Crossing her arms over her chest, she said, "Jeez, cous, I've never seen you act like that with anyone before."

Lois smiled shyly. "I don't know. I guess Clark just," She shrugged her shoulders nervously. "brings it out of me."

"Mmm, so I've seen," Chloe teased, chuckling at the eye roll Lois gave. "Let's just hope I don't see more of it on this vacation before I start whipping out some of my dirty tricks."

"I can't make any promises, Chlo, but I'll try my best," Lois smiled as the two women began getting ready for the exciting vacation that awaited them.
