A/N: I have no idea what possessed me to write this at 4:04 in the morning, but I couldn't deny myself the fun. I hope you like this story! Btw, there are references to Disney/ Pixar's film 'Up' in this story, but that doesn't make this a cross over.
I was hovering around in the kitchen, seeing if I could pawn anything off of Max's dessert tray, when I heard a shriek in the living room. It was inhuman, almost birdlike. Curious, I made my way towards the source of the noise and peered around the corner. Another shriek sounded from the room. This time though, it was more human like.
"Gwen? Are you ok?" I asked her.
"Bad Kevin! Stop that!" someone said. More startled than worried, I looked at Gwen and searched her for an answer. Her eyes met mine and I sensed a problem.
"What's wrong?" I wondered aloud. Gwen started to answer and then she met my eyes. I couldn't believe what happened next. She burst out laughing and fell into my arms. I was more confused than I'd ever been.
"I'm… I'm so sorry!" she managed to choke out. She tried to calm down enough to tell me what the heck was going on. But, like the first time, she burst out laughing. I was half amused and half not. I'd never seen Gwen laugh this hard and it was kind of freaking me out.
I waited till Gwen started hiccupping to ask her anything else. She shook her head and pointed to the tv screen. I didn't understand. All I saw was an oversized bird thing with the worst color scheme ever thought possible. It was the ugliest thing I'd ever seen; which was saying something, I mean just look at what I usually battle on a daily basis.
"I still don't get what's so funny." I told the now sober Gwen. She looked up at me, tears still streaming from her eyes after those laughing fits. She took a deep breath, made an effort to keep her face straight and told me why she'd cracked up when she looked at me.
"That bird thing's name is Kevin." And with that, the redhead still in my arms, cracked up for the third time in fifteen minutes.
"Of course," I said to myself, "The dog can't share names with me; no it just has to be the ugly bird thing that makes Ben look smart." I jostled Gwen to get her attention. "I want you to know something."
"Yes?" She waved her hand to make me continue.
"I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cuter that that bird."
"Of course you are." She kissed me on the forehead and we watched the rest of the movie until Ben disturbed us.
"Gwen and Kevin sitting in a tree…" he chanted until Gwen hit him with the remote. Then all was quiet.
