"Oh sure," Lana said smiling, "more blackjack would be fun!" She sat down on a bench and patted the seat for Clark to sit down. He grinned and sat down next to her.

Gabe Sullivan was positioned on the ground next to the fire. His body was stretched out and he had stopped struggling to free himself, Clark had tied him too tight. He was silently watching as Derek dealt out the cards for yet another round of blackjack.

"Okay, flip." Everybody looked at one of their cards.

"Hit."

"Yup."

"Hit me."

"Stay," Clark said.

Derek lifted an eyebrow, "Let's see how mystery man does." They finished and he finally told them to flip over.

Clark didn't take his eyes off of Derek, "Blackjack."

Derek shook his head, "I don't know how you do it, man. But you, my boy, have truly achieved manhood." The boys began howling and cheering for Clark.

"Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech!" they chanted.

Clark calmed them down, arrogantly waving his hands in the air. He felt the rush of adrenaline given to him by the stone. "No, it's nothing! Really.

"It's nothing really," Clark said. "I just understand how to play now, anybody care to challenge me?" He took off his coat and put his arms up, flexing his biceps. The guys got a little scared and tried to laugh.

"Clark! Let's just play," Derek said.

"Whatever you want," Clark said.

They played again and again and again and drank and drank and drank until there was nothing left. Clark had drunk about as much as everybody else, actually not able to concentrate from the energy he was feeding the redk through the beer.

"And then there was a mushroom," Clark said, laughing. "And the mushroom was like, a mushroom."

The guys roared with laughter, obviously only getting his joke because they were drunk.

"Haha! Spongebob!" Chloe yelled.

Pete finally woke up from his unconsciousness, "Didn't you save any for me?''

Clark stood up and walked over to him, very uneasily, "It's okay...Pete...that's your name...right? Yeah...well...I drank your share."

The guys chuckled, Clark was really drunk.

"Hey!" Nick shouted, waving his last cup in the air, "I got an idea! How about...we play...oh what's it called?? Oh yeah...truth or flare...I mean dare. Well you could flare if you wanted to..."

"Yeah we get it, shut up," Derek said. "Does anybody want to play?"

"Oooooh!" Chloe screeched, "We used to play this all the time at sleepovers! Remember Llana?"

Lana giggled, "Yup. I remember. I remember this one time..." she was swaying in her seat now, "I was dared to walk into the guys bathroom and I did it!" the girls started giggling and the boys just looked at each other.

"Well," Derek said, "truth or dare it is."

Truth or dare, eh? Clark thought, This could get interesting .

“Okay, who wants to go first?” Derek asked.

Aaron stood up, swaying violently and then Nick grabbed him to steady him. But the fact was, Nick wasn't very steady either and ended up pulling Aaron down with him. Aaron put his hand into the air, “I'm alright!” he stood up and brushed himseld off, “Uh…I'll go foist.” He looked around, squinting at his prospective targets. “Uh…girl with blonde hair…”

Chloe smiled, “You can call me Spongebob.”

Aaron shook his head to process the information, “Uh, okay, Spongebob truth or dare?”

Chloe giggled, “Dare.”

“No! Chloe you are bigger than this!” her father yelled.

“Shut up, old man!” Derek yelled back, he kicked him in the face. Gabe let out a yelp, then groaned and went unconscious.

“Sorry, daddy, I'm just having too much fun!” Chloe giggled.

Aaron smirked and crossed his arms, tapping a finger on his chin. “Hmmm dare…let's see here…” he was trying to think up a really good one. “Oh I got it! You can……”

“I can what? I can what?” Chloe asked, too excited to wait for an answer.

“…you can make out with me!” he said, opening his arms.

“Yippee!! Here I come!” She ran over to him and they fell on the ground, making quite a disgusting scene.

Derek stood up and coughed, luring everyone away from the scene the two were making. “Since, uh, Spongebob can't do the next truth or dare, I will.” He looked at Clark, “Truth or dare, okay ill pick, truth.”

Clark shrugged, “Whatever. Just don't make me retell the mushroom joke.”

Derek laughed, “No clark, that's not what I want. What is your biggest secret?”

Everyone fell silent. Spongebob and Aaron stopped making out, Pete and Lana's heads turned and everyone was staring at him. Three of them, at least, knew that he kept secrets darker than the sky, but didn't know if he'd rather take a chicken and kiss a toilet.

“Awww, my deepest secret, eh?” he stood up, catching his balance and swaying a little as he did so. “This, this is my biggest secret.” He said. Then he jumped into the fire.

"Yeah!" Derek yelled, "Fire man! go Clark!!"

Lana smiled, "I always knew you were hiding something Clark, I just never thought it would be this good."

Chloe screamed, "Ahhhhh!!! That was so cool!!!" Then she went back to making out with Aaron.

Clark laughed from inside the flames, "It's a major adrenaline rush."

"Can I join you?" Lana asked, standing up.

Clark emerged from the flames, "It's not for mere mortals."

She smirked, "So what does that make you? A god?"

"Yeah, something like that," he smirked back.

Derek laughed, "Well Clark, you are clearly invincible. It's your turn."

Clark smiled broadly and tapped his chin, "Hmmm...let's see...who looks like a mushroom?"

Pete was not smiling, he was clearly disturbed. Even though he was drunk, he wasn't as drunk as everbody else because he hadn't been conscious during the last blackjack game. When he saw Clark jump in the fire, he had to do everything in his power to keep himself from running after him and dowsing the fire to make it seem like he wasn't invincible. He hoped that this wouldn't be remembered come morning.

Now he was silently awaiting Clark's decision on who to dare/truth next.

"Franky! Truth or dare!" Clark said.

Franky smiled, "Dare. I like to live on the edge."

Clark smiled, "Okay, I dare you to go raid Mr. Sullivan's car, look for more beer."

Chloe looked up from her make out session, "Under the passenger's seat!" Then she went down again.

Franky got up and smiled, "You da boss." And he ran off into the woods.

Derek grinned, "While we're waiting, I get to dare someone again. Lana! Truth or dare?"

Lana smirked, "Dare."

Derek's mouth curved into a wide smile, spreading from ear to ear. "Okay I dare you to..."
