Lane… I promise you, I won’t let you down!” Lois then replied “Oh, I know. Jimmy blushed, feeling honored that Clark would have him be the Best Man at a wedding. Kent doesn’t usually talk about himself with people, ya know?” Lois smirked and replied, “You forget that we’re getting married, right?” Jimmy smacked himself in the head and said “Duh! I forgot you two got engaged!” Lois raised her eyebrow and asked “I thought we told you this? After all, you’re the Best Man.” Kent’s birthday?! And you didn’t tell me!?” “Keep it down, will ya?” She asked, hoping that Jimmy would calm down. Dinner with the family, a birthday cake-” On the other end, Jimmy shouted “Wait! It’s Mr. “Jimmy, I told you this a million times before, I’ve got plans with Smallville tonight. Lois Lane was on a phone call with Jimmy Olsen, who seemed a little backed up in traffic. It’s in a few weeks.” “Ah, so she won’t be Mrs. “Martha, remind me when’s the wedding?” Jonathan asked, and Martha replied “I’ve told you already, Jon. Lane!” He shouted, before taking off from the front door.
I hope he loves it!” He said, before letting go.
“If it makes you feel any better, just say that it’s from all three of us,” Jonathan said, insistently.Ĭonner pondered the idea uneasily but decided to go along with it. “I… I can’t take credit for this!” He said, unsure if he should accept it. Didn’t you?” They both nodded to answer his question. “Um, no offense, Ma… But, wouldn’t Clark see through this and know what it is?” Jonathan then answered, “Give it a try.” Conner then attempted using his X-Ray vision to see through the contents of the box… Only to find that he can’t. You should give him this.” She said, presenting the small box to him. She then pulled out a small present, in pink paper with a green bow. Jonathan then nodded at Martha, who went to go grab something from the closet. “Well now, what brought this on?” Martha asked, and Conner replied “Well, today’s his birthday, and I just… I dunno what I should get him! I mean, he’s got so much but… I just don’t know.” He then looked down at the ground, dejected. “Oh yeah! I almost forgot!

Come in, come in.” She responded, inviting him into the house. “Oh, hi Ma…” Conner greeted, while shyly placing his hands behind his back and lightly kicking up some dust. What she saw instead of her son, was Conner. “Oh! That must be him!” Martha exclaimed as she approached the door to open it. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, alerting Martha. He wouldn’t miss it for the world!” Jonathan answered as Martha was continuing to worry about Clark.
“Jon, you sure Clark’s comin’ down today?” “Well, Martha… It’s his special day. It was here on the Kent farm that Martha and Jonathan Kent were planning out a special day for a certain someone. The sun was shining, fresh crops were growing, but most of all… No immediate danger. Why? Because, he was inspired by the story depicted in Alan Moore's Superman tale, "For The Man Who Has Everything.It was a pleasant morning down in Kansas.
