Season 4 Finale
Lana’s Apartment Thursday 19th July 2005
It is night Lana walks into her apartment and shuts the door behind her she walks toward the living room and is startled when she hears Genevieve speaking from behind her she walks toward Lana.
Genevieve: I must say Lana I applaud you I had raised my son to have a lot of willpower, which, could not be broken at all except his love for you, apparently.
Genevieve walks past Lana and toward the fireplace, Lana walks toward Genevieve to confront her.
Lana: (Angry) What do you want from me?
Genevieve: I want the stone Lionel gave you.
Lana: Lionel never gave me the stone.
Genevieve points a gun at Lana's face, cutting her off Lana gasps quietly.
Genevieve: (Calmly) Yes he did and I am going to find it whether you help or not.
Lana reaches into the purse, which is over her shoulder still and pulls out a red handkerchief she unfolds the handkerchief and reveals the silver Stone of Power a small smile forms on Genevieve's face then Lana grips the stone tightly and kicks the gun out of Genevieve's hand she runs toward the door but Genevieve grabs her hair, stopping her they struggle against each other as Genevieve knocks Lana into a lamp which topples to the ground then she pushes Lana in the other direction where Lana falls down, pushing over a tray she still has the stone in her hand and quickly gets back onto her feet and Genevieve grabs her by the shoulders, violently slamming her against the shelves on the wall Lana punches Genevieve across the face, but Genevieve doesn't release her grip they both fall to the floor with Genevieve above Lana she wraps her fingers tightly around Lana's throat and chokes her Lana's grunts are silenced as her airway is cut off and she is powerless to defend herself then suddenly her eyes flash a brilliant purple the sadistic smile on Genevieve's face fades when she sees the colour in Lana's eyes, as the dormant ancestor of Countess Marguerite Isobel Theroux emerges from within her she grabs Genevieve's arms roughly, pushing Genevieve onto the ground and kneeling over her the stone falls to the ground next to them and Lana / Isabelle reaches for it, it flies into her hand and she grips it with both hands, holding it above her head with the point facing downward she then slams it down into Genevieve's chest, stabbing her through the heart Genevieve gasps in pain.
Metropolis Museum
In a Metropolis museum an lone old Krypotonian man called Duran the keeper of the 3 stones of power and the knowledge they hold inside writhers in pain whilst he is cataloguing an ancient artefact as he feels the connection of what has happened to 1 of the stones.
Duran: (Gasping) Oh god the stones it cannot be happening.
Talon
Cutting back to the Talon there is a small burst of bluish-white light that comes from the stone as blood begins to trickle down Genevieve's jacket then a bright white light washes over Lana as a wind blows her hair back from her face and she closes her eyes, breathing heavily and smiling the tattoo on her back is exposed as her shirt rides up it glows purple and disappears Genevieve's eyes grow cold and close up as she dies as the spirit of Isobel leaves Lana, she looks down at the blood covering her hands with fear she backs away from Genevieve's body near tears, still holding her hands in front of her then she turns to the door and sees that Lex has entered he is still dirty and dishevelled from his adventure in the woods and he stares at Lana wordlessly she stares back at him, trembling.
Lounge
Clark is asleep on the couch dim blue and red light flashes on his face and wakes him up he sits up on the couch and the television turns on behind him, showing static the lights flicker as well as a fire starts itself in the fire place and the hands on the grandfather clock spin wildly the radio turns itself on and the dial turns back and forth, causing an unintelligible din of static and fragments of spoken words Shelby the dog barks anxiously and runs to front door he goes up on his hind legs and scratches at the door Clark gets up from the couch slowly and goes to the door he opens it and a blinding white light fills the house from outside.
Kent Farm
Shelby runs out the door and down the stairs, barking into the sky where the coloured light is shining down Clark follows Shelby down the stairs and also looks into the sky where in the distance he can see huge layers of misty colours ebbing and flowing in front of the stars, not unlike the Northern Lights Clark does not seem particularly worried, but Shelby continues to bark frantically he finally runs back into the house as Clark continues to look at the light Within a few seconds, all of the light waves converge into one bright white ball that flings itself at the Earth.
Lounge
Suddenly Clark wakes up from the dream on the couch Martha and Jonathan, wearing pyjamas and robes, come to his side.
Martha: Clark it is okay, it is just a bad dream.
Jonathan: Yeah you scared the daylights out of us yelling like that.
Clark: What, What did I yell?
Martha: You kept Yelling, "It's coming!" over and over again.
Clark is sweating and he looks toward the window fearfully.

VULTAN COUNCIL OF ELDER
DURAN
DANVERS
Argo City Council Elders
An Elder is sitting there deep in thought as his minds connected telepathically using a brain amplifier to the Kryptonian man Duran on Earth (Although Kryptonian’s can speak to each other telepathically Argo Cities not near a yellow sun so the Elder cannot hear Duran using his powers which is why he has the brain amplifier) Zor-El and his family come up to him concerned.
Zor-El: Vultan what is it?
Vultan takes the brain amplifier of his head.
Vultan: I have just received a message from Duran.
Alura: (Worried) Duran? Oh my god something has happened to the stones?
Kara: What stones you talking about? Who is Duran?
Zor-El: Duran is a fellow Kryptonian.
Vultan: And the keeper of the 3 stones of power.
Kara: So it is true then when there connected together, they open up the gateway to the worthiest amount of information imaginable.
Zor-El: Yes Kara it is you see our ancestors first created the library many millennia’s ago and each time an event happened on Krypton or another planet they explored they would put an entry into it so that there descendants could read from it and learn about them but a many years later the library was stolen and although our ancestors retrieved it unscathed it proved that it could not be kept on Krypton because it was too valuable so a lone Kryptonian named Duran went to Earth with the library and vowed to keep an eye on it there of course knowing what the people on Earth were like then he separated the stones into 3 and placed each 1 at different points around the globe so nobody could not get until Kal-El reunited them.
Kara: So what is wrong with them then?
Vultan: Duran has said 1 of the stones has washed with human blood.
Alura: Oh, my god what will happen to them? The people on Earth?
Vultan: I do not know but the fact that a stones being tainted something bad.
Study
In Lex's study, Lana is standing over a silver basin full of water compulsively trying to wash the blood off her hands she is breathless and crying as she speaks to Lex.
Lana: She was coming at me, it happened so quickly I do not even remember stabbing her.
Lex walks to the basin with a pitcher of water.
Lex: Lana, I want you to take a deep breath and try to relax.
Lex holds Lana's hands still as he pours the water over them.
Lana: Lex, a woman is dead because of me I killed her.
Lex: (Calming) No, no you had no choice you did what anyone would do if his or her life were at stake.
Lex gives Lana a towel to dry her hands and leads her to the couch they sit down.
Lana: I have to tell Jason she was his mother.
Lex: Leave Jason to me I will tell him.
Lana stands up panicked.
Lana: Lex, there is a body in my apartment I have to go the police I have to tell them what happened.
Lex: Lana, I am not sure that's such a wise idea Genevieve Teague was a powerful woman, married to an extremely powerful lawyer even though it's clearly self defence, Edward Teague is going to make sure the jury sees otherwise.
Lana: What is going to happen to me? I am going to go to prison.
Lex: No, I have retained one of the best defence attorneys in the country and once he arrives from New York, we will go to the authorities.
Lana: Ok thank you.
Lex embraces Lana and takes a deep breath.
Lex: You have to trust me until the lawyer arrives, I want you to stay here and talk to no one.
Lana does not respond for a long moment.
Lana: My purse Where's my purse?
Lana pulls out of the hug and picks up her purse from the floor.
Lex: Over there I would never take it away from you Lana.
A guard enters.
Guard: Mr Luthor a situation has arisen.
Lex: (To Lana) It is going to be okay.
He leaves and as he is gone, Lana pulls out the folded handkerchief and opens it to reveal the blood stained stone.
KItchen
Clark, Martha, and Jonathan are in the kitchen drinking coffee.
Clark: I cannot help but feel this is some kind of warning.
Martha: Clark, it was nothing but a bad dream.
Clark: That is what you said last year and looks what happened there an evil witch tried to destroy the Earth.
Jonathan: Are you sure it is the same kind of dream you had that time and not like the one’s you had when you were younger?
Clark: Yes, I had the same feeling that I felt like I had then what do me do dad.
Jonathan: What you are supposed to do is need get some shut-eye so that you are not half-asleep tomorrow when they hand you that diploma.
Martha: Your dad is right do not let a nightmare spoil your high school graduation.
Lois comes down the stairs in her pyjamas and bunny slippers.
Lois: You had a nightmare so that is what all this commotion is about Smallville.
Jonathan: Lois.
Lois: (To Clark) You know if it makes you feel any better, I have them all the time I had this one last week it was scary.
She takes a pitcher out of the fridge.
Lois: About this, uh, guy wearing a red cape.
Clark: (Unimpressed) Oh I bet that sounded horrible Lois.
Lois: Yeah it was okay people there is something I want you to all know something but I just did not know when to, so I guess 2 in the morning is good a time as any.
Martha: What is it, Lois?
Lois: Oh, The general recruited me on a recon mission to track down my sister the drifter in Europe so we are heading for Heidelberg tomorrow.
Martha: Oh, I am sorry to hear that.
Clark tries to cover his delight.
Lois: Clark, I know how devastated you must be but if you could just keep your tears to a minimum, I would appreciate it.
Clark: I will try.
Lois: Thank you Mr and Mrs. Kent, I just wanted to say thanks for everything you people are like the mom and dad I have always wanted to have.
Jonathan and Martha smile.
Jonathan: Lois, we want you to know that you are welcome back here any time.
Clark: (Protesting) Actually--
Martha: We will all miss you, Lois.
Clark shuts his mouth and smiles politely, giving in.
Lois: I will miss you all, too.
Shelby stands up on his hind legs and rests his front legs on the counter next to Lois, whining sadly.
Lois: Him? Not so much.
Lana’s Apartment
Lex enters Lana's dark apartment he kneels down on the floor where Genevieve lay dead her body is gone Lionel speaks from where he sits at the couch.
Lionel: I thought I would do Miss Lang a favour and tidy up the place a bit.
He switches on the lamp.
Lionel: She left it quite a mess, quite a mess.
Lex: What are you looking for, Dad? The good housekeeping seal of approval.
Lionel: You know, for a woman without a heart, Genevieve Teague certainly did have a lot of blood.
Lex: You did not come here to do a post-mortem on Genevieve Teague what is it you want?
Lionel: I would like to offer a trade.
He stands up and walks to Lex.
Lionel: Lana Lang's freedom in exchange for the, um, artefact she has in her possession.
Lex: Dad, do not you think your search for these 3 ancient stones is starting to border on the fanatical?
Lionel: (Chuckles)Let me remind you, Lex you looted the ruins of Egypt to get your hands on 1 of those stones.
Lionel walks into the kitchen, continuing to tidy up he finds an apple that fell to the floor during Lana and Genevieve's struggle and picks it up, placing it back in the basket on the counter.
Lex: Trust me; Lana Lang has nothing to do with this.
Lionel: Oh, so chivalrous of you, you are the gallant hero trying to protect the damsel in distress.
Lex: (Angry) I am warning you leave her alone.
Lionel: But all your life you have had a, uh, a tendency to let the damsel lead you straight into the mouth of the dragon just like last year when you thought you had fought the love of your life with what was her name?
Lex: (Angry) You leave her out of this.
Lionel: See there go your feelings for people like her and Miss Lang, do not let them cripple your common sense, son I expect to see that stone by noon tomorrow.
Lionel starts to leave.
Lionel: It would be a shame if, um, Genevieve's corpse were delivered to the sheriff with Lana Lang's DNA as postage.
He leaves.
Outer Space
The meteors continue their flight to Earth, several of them crashing into the moon on the way causing huge explosions of grey dust.
Smallville Observatory
Inside, a man is sitting in a control room reading a magazine sounds from the radars get his attention and he puts down the magazine to look on the radar screen he sees the meteors coming toward Earth.
Man: (Startled) Sir, you had better looked at the right ascension.
Another man comes over to look at the screen.
Man 2: How long has there been activity?
Man: There was nothing there 10 seconds ago it just came out of nowhere.
Man 2: (Fearful) My god it is heading straight for Earth.
The countdown clock now at 09:18:48.99 ticks down to 09:18.45.04.
Loft Friday 20th July
In the loft, Clark is standing in front of a mirror tying his tie for graduation Lois enters.
Lois: I realize hand-eye coordination is not one of your strong suits here, let me help you with that.
Lois takes the tie away from him and puts it around her own neck to tie it for him.
Clark: (Annoyed) Lois, I am not sure what I am going to do without you.
Lois: Ah, come on, Clark, your future is right in there front of you, you are going to go to community college, major in agriculture, probably minor in law enforcement then you and Lana are going to have a nice little church wedding.
Clark: What are you saying Lois?
Lois: It is in the stars and you know it, is only a matter of time before you join the bowling league, take over the family farm, and then, well, you and Lana can bring little Clark junior into the world.
Clark: I think you are hallucinating.
Lois: No hallucinating would be imagining Clark Kent going off to the big city to make his mark in the world I am just being realistic.
Lois finishes tying the tie and slips it off her neck she puts it around Clark's neck and roughly tightens it, causing Clark to gasp.
Clark: Lois, what are your big plans after Europe? You goanna go back to school? Alternatively, will you stay here a while longer?
Lois: I have a feeling that if I am going to get an education, it is going to be in the real world.
She sits down on the couch.
Lois: You know, I took this career test in some magazine it said that my perfect job would be a radio disc jockey.
Clark: That makes sense you talk enough there will not be any dead air.
Lois: You mock me now Smallville, but you just wait and see.
Clark: How about Journalism I mean you wrote some half-decent articles in your short-lived career at the Torch.
Lois: Nah, kill me first even if I could spell, the last thing I would want to do is spend my time in a newsroom with my luck, I would probably end up across the desk from the most bumbling reporter on the masthead.
Clark finishes adjusting his tie it is crooked.
Lois: You know what that you actually look handsome for a change.
Clark: I will take that as a compliment.
Lois stands up and goes to fix the tie.
Lois: Look, I know we have had our disagreements in the past and I will be the first to admit that I have made it my own little hobby to bust your chops.
Clark: I am used to it besides I know I have not been the most gracious host.
Lois: Look, I just want you to know, Clark, that when I'm sitting in the audience today at your graduation and you stand up on that stage in front of all those people, I'm going to be looking up at you and thinking one thing.
Clark: What is that?
Lois: Please, god, do not let him trip.
She punches him in the chest.
Lois: See you.
Lois exits Clark laughs, shaking his head.
Smallville High School
Graduation. Day a small stage is set up on the grass outside Smallville High where Principal Danvers talks into a microphone, reading off the names of the graduates the families of the students sit in three blocks of chairs in front of the stage the graduates all stand together in red and yellow caps and gowns and they wait for their names to be called. "Pomp and Circumstance" plays in the background as principal Danvers reads each name a graduate walks across the stage and takes a diploma the audience cheers.
Danvers: Darren Cooper, Caroline Creese, Cody Davis, Erica Feldman, Lauren Feldman.
Clark and Chloe stand next to each other in the line and they walk slowly toward the stage.
Clark: Have you seen Lana yet?
Chloe Still no sign I am starting to get worried Lana never so much as had a tardy she's not going to miss her high school graduation.
Clark: (Nervous) She will be here.
Clark and Chloe part ways at the head of the line to walk to opposite ends of the stage.
Danvers: Michael Hall, Holy Harold, Tanya Hart, Kate Horton, Michael Hoover, Hannah Jacobs, Michelle Jewel.
Clark and Chloe get to the stage as Martha and Jonathan watch from the audience Lois is next door to them.
Martha: (Excited) Oh, there is Clark.
Danvers: Clark Kent.
Jonathan, Martha, and Lois stand up and cheer Lois puts her fingers in her mouth and whistles loudly as Jonathan snaps a picture Clark smiles as he takes his diploma and walks across the stage.
Danvers: Lana Lang.
Clark's smile fades at the mention of Lana's name Danvers turns around and says something quietly to the man giving out diploma the man shakes his head and Danvers comes back to the microphone.
Danvers: Lana Lang.
Martha looks at Jonathan and Lois questioningly and Chloe and Clark exchange a worried glance suddenly a sire makes noises as it approaches a large military trucks drive up toward the school a man in one of the trucks speaks through a megaphone as the trucks drive onto the grass. Other men jump out of the trucks wearing helmets and carrying guns.
Man: Attention! Remain calm! By order of the Federal Emergency Decree: All non-essential personnel should evacuate the area within a 50-mile radius in approximately 3 hours, a meteor shower will hit Smallville.
Martha: (Fearful) Oh god not again.
The audience stands up and starts to run away the graduates leave too.
Man: Please remain calm there is no need to panic please proceed to your home and carry only necessary items.
Clark takes off his cap, gown, and steps off the stage Chloe runs to him excitedly and they walk together.
Chloe: Hey, Clark! Can you believe it? Twice in 16 years I mean, this is crazy! Smallville's has to have some sort of extraterrestrial bull's eye on it!
Clark: (Pretending not to understand) It is weird, huh?
Chloe: There has to be some kind of connection in the cosmos I mean this is not just a coincidence.
Clark: Yeah, I am sure there is some sort of explanation.
Chloe: (Pressing, trying to make Clark admit the truth) Well, there is just something in Smallville that is screaming for celestial attention I mean, lightening does not strike twice in the same place without some kind of lightning rod, right? I just wonder what that is.
Clark: I-I am not sure, but we do not much time, we need to find Lana.
Chloe: You are right, and if anyone can find her with moments to spare, it is you, Clark.
Clark: Why do you say that?
Chloe: I do not know, because you have a way of getting things done in half the time a normal person gets anything done.
Clark: And I am not normal?
Chloe: No, of course you are normal, Clark you are as normal as they come now, let us hurry and find Lana.
Lois walks up to there all 3 of them walk to Chloe's car in the parking lot.
Lois: Look, I am sure she is already out of tow they have evacuated half of the county they probably saw her running in late and told her to leave town.
Clark: Which are exactly what you 2 needs to doing, right now?
They arrive at Chloe’s Beetle Convertible.
Lois: Thanks for the tip now listen to me Smallville if there's one thing that the General has taught me is that you cannot panic in times of crisis do you hear me? Okay, whatever happens, you have to stay calm you cannot panic.
Clark: Lois--
Lois: (Becoming frantic) Because if you lose your cool--
Clark: Lois!
Lois: What?
Clark: You are panicking.
Lois: Fine.
Lois and Chloe get in the car and Clark looks around at all the panicked people running away.

Zor-El: Yes Kara it is you see our ancestors first created the library many millennia’s ago and each time an event happened on Krypton or another planet they explored they would put an entry into it so that there descendants could read from it and learn about them but a many years later the library was stolen and although our ancestors retrieved it unscathed it proved that it could not be kept on Krypton because it was too valuable so a lone Kryptonian named Duran went to Earth with the library and vowed to keep an eye on it there of course knowing what the people on Earth were like then he separated the stones into 3 and placed each 1 at different points around the globe so nobody could not get until Kal-El reunited them.
Kara: So what is wrong with them then?
Vultan: Duran has said 1 of the stones has washed with human blood.
Alura: Oh, my god what will happen to them? The people on Earth?
Vultan: I do not know but the fact that a stones being tainted something bad.
Study
In Lex's study, Lana is standing over a silver basin full of water compulsively trying to wash the blood off her hands she is breathless and crying as she speaks to Lex.
Lana: She was coming at me, it happened so quickly I do not even remember stabbing her.
Lex walks to the basin with a pitcher of water.
Lex: Lana, I want you to take a deep breath and try to relax.
Lex holds Lana's hands still as he pours the water over them.
Lana: Lex, a woman is dead because of me I killed her.
Lex: (Calming) No, no you had no choice you did what anyone would do if his or her life were at stake.
Lex gives Lana a towel to dry her hands and leads her to the couch they sit down.
Lana: I have to tell Jason she was his mother.
Lex: Leave Jason to me I will tell him.
Lana stands up panicked.
Lana: Lex, there is a body in my apartment I have to go the police I have to tell them what happened.
Lex: Lana, I am not sure that's such a wise idea Genevieve Teague was a powerful woman, married to an extremely powerful lawyer even though it's clearly self defence, Edward Teague is going to make sure the jury sees otherwise.
Lana: What is going to happen to me? I am going to go to prison.
Lex: No, I have retained one of the best defence attorneys in the country and once he arrives from New York, we will go to the authorities.
Lana: Ok thank you.
Lex embraces Lana and takes a deep breath.
Lex: You have to trust me until the lawyer arrives, I want you to stay here and talk to no one.
Lana does not respond for a long moment.
Lana: My purse Where's my purse?
Lana pulls out of the hug and picks up her purse from the floor.
Lex: Over there I would never take it away from you Lana.
A guard enters.
Guard: Mr Luthor a situation has arisen.
Lex: (To Lana) It is going to be okay.
He leaves and as he is gone, Lana pulls out the folded handkerchief and opens it to reveal the blood stained stone.
KItchen
Clark, Martha, and Jonathan are in the kitchen drinking coffee.
Clark: I cannot help but feel this is some kind of warning.
Martha: Clark, it was nothing but a bad dream.
Clark: That is what you said last year and looks what happened there an evil witch tried to destroy the Earth.
Jonathan: Are you sure it is the same kind of dream you had that time and not like the one’s you had when you were younger?
Clark: Yes, I had the same feeling that I felt like I had then what do me do dad.
Jonathan: What you are supposed to do is need get some shut-eye so that you are not half-asleep tomorrow when they hand you that diploma.
Martha: Your dad is right do not let a nightmare spoil your high school graduation.
Lois comes down the stairs in her pyjamas and bunny slippers.
Lois: You had a nightmare so that is what all this commotion is about Smallville.
Jonathan: Lois.
Lois: (To Clark) You know if it makes you feel any better, I have them all the time I had this one last week it was scary.
She takes a pitcher out of the fridge.
Lois: About this, uh, guy wearing a red cape.
Clark: (Unimpressed) Oh I bet that sounded horrible Lois.
Lois: Yeah it was okay people there is something I want you to all know something but I just did not know when to, so I guess 2 in the morning is good a time as any.
Martha: What is it, Lois?
Lois: Oh, The general recruited me on a recon mission to track down my sister the drifter in Europe so we are heading for Heidelberg tomorrow.
Martha: Oh, I am sorry to hear that.
Clark tries to cover his delight.
Lois: Clark, I know how devastated you must be but if you could just keep your tears to a minimum, I would appreciate it.
Clark: I will try.
Lois: Thank you Mr and Mrs. Kent, I just wanted to say thanks for everything you people are like the mom and dad I have always wanted to have.
Jonathan and Martha smile.
Jonathan: Lois, we want you to know that you are welcome back here any time.
Clark: (Protesting) Actually--
Martha: We will all miss you, Lois.
Clark shuts his mouth and smiles politely, giving in.
Lois: I will miss you all, too.
Shelby stands up on his hind legs and rests his front legs on the counter next to Lois, whining sadly.
Lois: Him? Not so much.
Lana’s Apartment
Lex enters Lana's dark apartment he kneels down on the floor where Genevieve lay dead her body is gone Lionel speaks from where he sits at the couch.
Lionel: I thought I would do Miss Lang a favour and tidy up the place a bit.
He switches on the lamp.
Lionel: She left it quite a mess, quite a mess.
Lex: What are you looking for, Dad? The good housekeeping seal of approval.
Lionel: You know, for a woman without a heart, Genevieve Teague certainly did have a lot of blood.
Lex: You did not come here to do a post-mortem on Genevieve Teague what is it you want?
Lionel: I would like to offer a trade.
He stands up and walks to Lex.
Lionel: Lana Lang's freedom in exchange for the, um, artefact she has in her possession.
Lex: Dad, do not you think your search for these 3 ancient stones is starting to border on the fanatical?
Lionel: (Chuckles)Let me remind you, Lex you looted the ruins of Egypt to get your hands on 1 of those stones.
Lionel walks into the kitchen, continuing to tidy up he finds an apple that fell to the floor during Lana and Genevieve's struggle and picks it up, placing it back in the basket on the counter.
Lex: Trust me; Lana Lang has nothing to do with this.
Lionel: Oh, so chivalrous of you, you are the gallant hero trying to protect the damsel in distress.
Lex: (Angry) I am warning you leave her alone.
Lionel: But all your life you have had a, uh, a tendency to let the damsel lead you straight into the mouth of the dragon just like last year when you thought you had fought the love of your life with what was her name?
Lex: (Angry) You leave her out of this.
Lionel: See there go your feelings for people like her and Miss Lang, do not let them cripple your common sense, son I expect to see that stone by noon tomorrow.
Lionel starts to leave.
Lionel: It would be a shame if, um, Genevieve's corpse were delivered to the sheriff with Lana Lang's DNA as postage.
He leaves.
Outer Space
The meteors continue their flight to Earth, several of them crashing into the moon on the way causing huge explosions of grey dust.
Smallville Observatory
Inside, a man is sitting in a control room reading a magazine sounds from the radars get his attention and he puts down the magazine to look on the radar screen he sees the meteors coming toward Earth.
Man: (Startled) Sir, you had better looked at the right ascension.
Another man comes over to look at the screen.
Man 2: How long has there been activity?
Man: There was nothing there 10 seconds ago it just came out of nowhere.
Man 2: (Fearful) My god it is heading straight for Earth.
The countdown clock now at 09:18:48.99 ticks down to 09:18.45.04.
Loft Friday 20th July
In the loft, Clark is standing in front of a mirror tying his tie for graduation Lois enters.
Lois: I realize hand-eye coordination is not one of your strong suits here, let me help you with that.
Lois takes the tie away from him and puts it around her own neck to tie it for him.
Clark: (Annoyed) Lois, I am not sure what I am going to do without you.
Lois: Ah, come on, Clark, your future is right in there front of you, you are going to go to community college, major in agriculture, probably minor in law enforcement then you and Lana are going to have a nice little church wedding.
Clark: What are you saying Lois?
Lois: It is in the stars and you know it, is only a matter of time before you join the bowling league, take over the family farm, and then, well, you and Lana can bring little Clark junior into the world.
Clark: I think you are hallucinating.
Lois: No hallucinating would be imagining Clark Kent going off to the big city to make his mark in the world I am just being realistic.
Lois finishes tying the tie and slips it off her neck she puts it around Clark's neck and roughly tightens it, causing Clark to gasp.
Clark: Lois, what are your big plans after Europe? You goanna go back to school? Alternatively, will you stay here a while longer?
Lois: I have a feeling that if I am going to get an education, it is going to be in the real world.
She sits down on the couch.
Lois: You know, I took this career test in some magazine it said that my perfect job would be a radio disc jockey.
Clark: That makes sense you talk enough there will not be any dead air.
Lois: You mock me now Smallville, but you just wait and see.
Clark: How about Journalism I mean you wrote some half-decent articles in your short-lived career at the Torch.
Lois: Nah, kill me first even if I could spell, the last thing I would want to do is spend my time in a newsroom with my luck, I would probably end up across the desk from the most bumbling reporter on the masthead.
Clark finishes adjusting his tie it is crooked.
Lois: You know what that you actually look handsome for a change.
Clark: I will take that as a compliment.
Lois stands up and goes to fix the tie.
Lois: Look, I know we have had our disagreements in the past and I will be the first to admit that I have made it my own little hobby to bust your chops.
Clark: I am used to it besides I know I have not been the most gracious host.
Lois: Look, I just want you to know, Clark, that when I'm sitting in the audience today at your graduation and you stand up on that stage in front of all those people, I'm going to be looking up at you and thinking one thing.
Clark: What is that?
Lois: Please, god, do not let him trip.
She punches him in the chest.
Lois: See you.
Lois exits Clark laughs, shaking his head.
Smallville High School
Graduation. Day a small stage is set up on the grass outside Smallville High where Principal Danvers talks into a microphone, reading off the names of the graduates the families of the students sit in three blocks of chairs in front of the stage the graduates all stand together in red and yellow caps and gowns and they wait for their names to be called. "Pomp and Circumstance" plays in the background as principal Danvers reads each name a graduate walks across the stage and takes a diploma the audience cheers.
Danvers: Darren Cooper, Caroline Creese, Cody Davis, Erica Feldman, Lauren Feldman.
Clark and Chloe stand next to each other in the line and they walk slowly toward the stage.
Clark: Have you seen Lana yet?
Chloe Still no sign I am starting to get worried Lana never so much as had a tardy she's not going to miss her high school graduation.
Clark: (Nervous) She will be here.
Clark and Chloe part ways at the head of the line to walk to opposite ends of the stage.
Danvers: Michael Hall, Holy Harold, Tanya Hart, Kate Horton, Michael Hoover, Hannah Jacobs, Michelle Jewel.
Clark and Chloe get to the stage as Martha and Jonathan watch from the audience Lois is next door to them.
Martha: (Excited) Oh, there is Clark.
Danvers: Clark Kent.
Jonathan, Martha, and Lois stand up and cheer Lois puts her fingers in her mouth and whistles loudly as Jonathan snaps a picture Clark smiles as he takes his diploma and walks across the stage.
Danvers: Lana Lang.
Clark's smile fades at the mention of Lana's name Danvers turns around and says something quietly to the man giving out diploma the man shakes his head and Danvers comes back to the microphone.
Danvers: Lana Lang.
Martha looks at Jonathan and Lois questioningly and Chloe and Clark exchange a worried glance suddenly a sire makes noises as it approaches a large military trucks drive up toward the school a man in one of the trucks speaks through a megaphone as the trucks drive onto the grass. Other men jump out of the trucks wearing helmets and carrying guns.
Man: Attention! Remain calm! By order of the Federal Emergency Decree: All non-essential personnel should evacuate the area within a 50-mile radius in approximately 3 hours, a meteor shower will hit Smallville.
Martha: (Fearful) Oh god not again.
The audience stands up and starts to run away the graduates leave too.
Man: Please remain calm there is no need to panic please proceed to your home and carry only necessary items.
Clark takes off his cap, gown, and steps off the stage Chloe runs to him excitedly and they walk together.
Chloe: Hey, Clark! Can you believe it? Twice in 16 years I mean, this is crazy! Smallville's has to have some sort of extraterrestrial bull's eye on it!
Clark: (Pretending not to understand) It is weird, huh?
Chloe: There has to be some kind of connection in the cosmos I mean this is not just a coincidence.
Clark: Yeah, I am sure there is some sort of explanation.
Chloe: (Pressing, trying to make Clark admit the truth) Well, there is just something in Smallville that is screaming for celestial attention I mean, lightening does not strike twice in the same place without some kind of lightning rod, right? I just wonder what that is.
Clark: I-I am not sure, but we do not much time, we need to find Lana.
Chloe: You are right, and if anyone can find her with moments to spare, it is you, Clark.
Clark: Why do you say that?
Chloe: I do not know, because you have a way of getting things done in half the time a normal person gets anything done.
Clark: And I am not normal?
Chloe: No, of course you are normal, Clark you are as normal as they come now, let us hurry and find Lana.
Lois walks up to there all 3 of them walk to Chloe's car in the parking lot.
Lois: Look, I am sure she is already out of tow they have evacuated half of the county they probably saw her running in late and told her to leave town.
Clark: Which are exactly what you 2 needs to doing, right now?
They arrive at Chloe’s Beetle Convertible.
Lois: Thanks for the tip now listen to me Smallville if there's one thing that the General has taught me is that you cannot panic in times of crisis do you hear me? Okay, whatever happens, you have to stay calm you cannot panic.
Clark: Lois--
Lois: (Becoming frantic) Because if you lose your cool--
Clark: Lois!
Lois: What?
Clark: You are panicking.
Lois: Fine.
Lois and Chloe get in the car and Clark looks around at all the panicked people running away.
