*Alright, so this idea just came to me, and I figured since I'm not really working on anything right now, why not? Well, it takes place right after TDI. I assume Chris sent them home for a while, and so this is when the story takes place. DxG-ness in the next couple of chapters IF you want me to continue. Gwen's POV. Please enjoy! :)*

I stood on the curb outside Playa Del Losers waiting for my mom. We just finished battling it out for the million dollar case not too long ago, and me along with a good number of the rest of us have to battle it out again. This time, on a stinking movie set. I sighed again and checked my bag to make sure I had everything. I wonder how Courtney got anything packed. She spent half of the time after we stopped rolling lecturing, and then dumping Duncan, and then spent the rest of her time after that calling her lawyers to try and get back on the show.

A car pulled up and my head shot up, hoping it was my mom. Unfortunately, I was soon enough waving to LeShawna as she drove away in said car with her cousin, LaShaniqua. My head hung low again. Ugh, I just can't wait to get away from all this for a little while. I decided to stop sulking and see who's on their way home.

A man had just walked out of a bus and was now piling Harold's luggage into the side opening of the bus, ready to take him to Magic Steve's whatever camp. A pretty blonde woman and a young blonde boy were strapping Bridgette's surfboard to the top of a station wagon while she had one last make-out session with Geoff. A tall man in a uniform was placing Heather's multiple bags in the back of a long black stretch limo. A large guy was stuffing Owen's luggage into the back of a huge blue minivan. I was waving to Lindsay's shrinking figure as I felt something plop down next to me. I looked up to Trent's smiling face.

"Hey." I greeted quietly.

"Hi Gwen!" He exclaimed.

"Ride didn't come yet?" I asked as he hung his arm limply around my shoulder. I smiled at him until he answered.

"My Dad couldn't come, so I think I'll call a cab." He explained. I shook my head vigorously.

"No that's okay, my mom can drive you." I offered.

"But I-I only live about ten miles from here." Trent said, nervously rubbing the back of his neck. I hope I didn't freak him out with the whole "meeting the parents" thing. And wait, did he say ten miles from here? I only live about ten miles from here...

"Me too!" I exclaimed happily. "Which way?" I asked eagerly.

"Uh…south?" He asked like a question. I got the biggest smile on my face.

"No way! Me too!" I yelled. We hugged each other excitedly.

"So you go to?" He asked, pointing at me.

"South Valley High School!" We said at the same time. This time we pecked each other on the lips. This couldn't get any better. First, There's no more cameras. Then, there's no more Chris and no more Cody, and now, my boyfriend will be going to school with me! We sat in a comfortable silence until someone yelling broke it.

"Gah! Ever heard of 'gently?'" the person yelled angrily. I looked over Trent to see Duncan being led to the curb by a police officer. Both of his hands were secured behind his back by shiny silver handcuffs.

"Duncan! See you're back to your usual accessories." Trent commented. I covered my mouth and giggled at the remark.

"Watch it, guitar boy, because my 'usual accessories' are the only things stopping me from beating your face into the pavement!" Duncan threatened. Then he got as close to Trent as someone could while they're in handcuffs and being restrained by a huge police officer. "And I'll remember this in six weeks, when the handcuffs won't be stopping me." He finished in a quiet voice. Noah came by and broke the tension.

"Hey original, got your jewelry back?" Noah taunted. Duncan lunged at him, but was of course being held back by the cop. Noah laughed at him before hopping on some luxury bus to head back to his cushy boarding school for another few weeks. DJ came by next to chat with everyone's favorite delinquent.

"Hey man, sorry to hear about Courtney." DJ began.

"News travels fast around here. Whatever." he snorted.

"See your going back to Juvie, too." DJ added.

"Well, this shouldn't be so bad, they're sending me to one nearby, plus, it's" He began to talk in a quieter voice, though I could still hear him, "minimum security!" He smiled widely. "No guard dogs, no barbed wire fence, no FENCE!" He shouted excitedly. There's a detention center in my area that's a lot like that. Shake it off, Gwen, there's tons of minimum security prisons around here. Right? Ah, forget it for now, you're too happy about finally being with Trent to care.

"Sounds...good? Cookie?" DJ offered. He then pulled a tray out fresh cookies out of nowhere. They smelled delicious.

"Uh, can't." Duncan said, rattling the handcuffs a bit. DJ glared apologetically to his friend before offering some to Trent and I. Trent thanked him as he took a giant bite out of the chocolate chip paradise known as DJ's baking. I was about to grab one when Mom's car finally pulled up.

"Finally!" I yelled as I opened the back of the old blue sedan. Trent walked over and began loading the back with my luggage. I felt myself blush as I smiled at him. He's so perfect. So perfect, in fact, that he almost made me forget to greet my mom. I ran over to the passenger side and opened the door, which released my brother.

"Oh, my gosh! Who's still here? Oh, is Geoff? Think he'll sign my skateboard? Or maybe Eva's still here to sign my hockey stick, it's still in the back-or maybe Tyler? Yeah, that dude could sign my basketball!" my little brother, Ted started babbling and excitedly looking around. "Oh! DJ!" He called before running off somewhere.

"He's twelve, I swear." I murmured to Trent, who had just joined me up by the passenger side of the car. Can he at least try to act normal around other people?

"Well hi, Sweetie." My mom greeted from the wheel.

"Hey Mom, um, listen…" I began hesitantly. Gosh, how do I word this so I don't make my Mom all weary of Trent or something?

"Who am I giving a ride home this time?" She asked with a sigh. Apparently I pull this stuff a lot.

"Trent." I admitted.

"Trent?" She repeated. Just then, Trent shot his head into the view of my mother.

"Hi there." He said with a slight wave. "Um, apparently I live near by you, and my Dad's a little busy, so if it's not any trouble…" He trailed off. Brilliant, he took the words out of my mouth.

"Of course it's not any trouble. What street do you live on, dear?' My mom asked. I breathed a sigh of relief. Now I just have to make sure Mom doesn't grill him like a T-Bone. I stopped listening there to find my brother and drag him back to the car. I found him by the wall of the resort, attaching himself to Chris' leg. Maybe the kid's not completely useless. Anyone that tortures Chris is A-okay in my book, even if they ARE as annoying as Ted.

"Someone get this ankle biter OFF OF ME!" Our host yelled angrily. I gritted my teeth and pulled my tiny brother off of Chris. I carried him all the way back to the car and locked him in the back.

"Woo." I said as I brushed the back of my hand across my forehead. Then, I heard some laughing coming from none other than Duncan.

"What's so funny?" I asked defensively.

"I'm just glad I'm not the one with the psycho little brother."

"And I'm just glad I'm not the one in handcuffs." I countered.

"Touché." Duncan said in quiet voice. I laughed and felt a hand rest itself on my shoulder. I looked behind me to see Trent standing there with a smile on his face.

"We're all packed. Let's go, Babe." He commanded. Trent then commenced walking away until I grabbed his arm to stop him.

"Leaving without your wallet?" I asked jokingly. He got a confused look on his face and began patting his jeans all over for his wallet. While he did that, I walked over to Duncan and stood behind him, where in between his cuffed together hands lay Trent's black leather wallet.

I grabbed it and handed it back to my boyfriend without saying a word or stopping. I hopped into my Mom's car and rolled down the window just in time to hear Duncan yell "That was so hot!"

*Well? if you guys like it, I'll continue! I need to kill some time over the next few days, so I'll be able to update rather quickly if you want me to continue. Reviews make me happy! :)*
