Disclaimer: Don't Own Ben 10 or This Song.

A/N: After listening to my ipod, I decided to make a whole mess of Songfics. Some will be connected; others will not. I will make a connection for Escape, but that will be a later time because I have the perfect song.

A little background info on this next one:

Kevin is a struggling musican in a small town in Kansas. He's slightly less muscular than normal, has his lip pierce, and his ears are gaged. Other than that, he looks the same as in AF. Gwen is his girlfriend of three years. She looks like she does in AF, but her hair only reaches between her chin and her shoulder and her tongue is peirced. Kevin is twenty and Gwen's nineteen. No powers and no aliens. I'm using Bill from my other story as Kevin's stepdad. His mother is dead. Gwen's parent's don't approve of Kevin. Ben is Gwen's twin brother. He and Julie don't like or approve Kevin even though they've been together for so long.


If I strum chords, would you sing a song with me
If I leave town would you leave along with me
We can fly away to outer space
We can find a way to leave this place

Kevin Levin laid out on his couch with his head on his girlfriend's lap and strummed on his guitar. His girlfriend, Gewndolyn Tennyson, played with his hair as he did so.

"Hey, sing with me?" He asked. He played notes. She smiled and gladly sang random lyrics from the top of her head.

"Okay," he said. "Another question: will leave town with me?" She stared blankly at him. Then began to giggle uncomfortablely as if he was joking. She noticed the serious look on his face.

"What?" She asked with confusion and shock present in her voice.

"Let's go away from here." He sat up and faced her.

"Kevin," She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. He placed his guitar on the ground.

"Baby, just hear me out." He grabbed a hold of both of her hands and looking into her eyes. "I love you. I'm so in love with you. I'll give up everything and anything for you: my car, my guitar, hell, I'll die for you. So run away with me." She glances away from him.

"I don't..."

"Gwendolyn, baby. I've been thinking about leaving since I turned eighteen. When Bill kicked me out of the house I was going to leave, but I can't leave without you. You're over eighteen now, so you're allowed to do whatever you want now. Your parents, Ken, and Ben can't stop you, if you want to leave."

"Where would we go?" She reverted her eyes back at him.

"Anywhere, hell, I'll take you to Saturn if you want."

"Kevin, I don't think..."

"Don't think."

"But how will we?"

"We'll figure it out." She remained silent and didn't look at him. He watched her intently waiting for the answer.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." She respond still not looking at him. There was another silence.

In a barely audible voice, she whispered, "Okay."

We don't need a map and you can throw your phone away
We don't wanna hear the things we know they're gonna say
You don't trust yourself but girl trust in me
Don't look in the mirror the past you don't wanna see

"So are you all pack?" Her boyfriend asked over the phone. Gwen nodded.

"Almost, you?"

"Yep. I put all the things I'll need in California in the trunk of my car. Argit helped me put all my things in a storage. He said that he'll send it after we get settled." She took a deep breath.

"We're really do this, aren't we?" She asked nervously. She loved Kevin truly, but she's neer been outsie of Kansas before. Sure, she, Ken, Ben, Grandma Verdona, and Grandpa Max used to travel around in the Rustbucket, the RV owned by their granparents, but they never past Kansas. Hell, she's never even seen an ocean in all of her nineteen years. Now she was going to be crazy and move to California with her boyfriend. He wants to move to LA so he could try to get signed, but she had an idea on how hard that it may be. Naturally, she was really nervous. She had no idea what was going to happen.

"Yeah. I'm happy that you're really doing this with me, Gwen. You really don't have too." Despite her nervousness and her fear, Gwen knew that Kevin was not forcing her to go.

"I want to." This wasn't exactly the truth. She was so nervous and scared out of her mind.


That night Gwen didn't sleep. She still had to pack for her trip and decided just to waited until 3 AM, the time they planned to leave. Around 11, Ben came to her room to try to convince her to dump Kevin. This was something he did once a week for three years. She simply rolled her eyes.

"Ben, honestly drop it. I know you don't like him but... just drop it." Ben was taken back. Sure, he could tell by her body language that she was annoyed, but never once did she ever verbally ask him to stop.

"Why?" She looked him in the eye. Without saying a word, she pulled him into a tight embrace. His eyes widen but he hugged her back.

"What was that for?" He asked as she pulled away.

"Oh nothing. Just thanking you for always looking out for me." He scratched the back of his head.

"Oh okay." She shooed him out of the room after that. She jumped on her bed and cried. Warm tears trickled down her face. She sobbed silently until her phone started ringing. She checked the time again. It was nearly 3 by then. She checked her phone. There was a text message from Kevin.

'I'm here. Throw your things out the window.'

She walked over to the window, not surprised that Kevin was already there waiting. In the dark he smiled at her. She proceed to open her window and threw her contents out the window. When all but one bag was left, she took a good look at her room. Of course it was spotless. She walked on her bed and grabbed her favorite pillow. Then she strode over to her vanity. She got one glance of her self in the mirror before turning away. She placed her phone, all that was left of her, on the table.

She scribbled a note, but last minute, she threw it in the trash bin.

What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California

If we leave our friends then we can be together
We can leave this town if only for the weather
I could drive and you could sleep
While the radio collides to the sound of our heartbeats

She openned the door of his green car. He greeted her with a kiss.

"Ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be." He pulled out of the her street. Soon they were out of the small little town they lived in. Their plan was to drive nonstop with the exception of bathroom and food breaks until they got to California. Gwen would sleep first, then drive for four hours and Kevin would drive the rest of the way. Gwen protested at first saying she could drive for a longer perio of time, but Kevin was against it. Once in California, they would find a place to spent the night, and then head straight for LA.

Gwen fell asleep after passing the state line of Kansas and Nevada.

'You're too good for him. He doesn't deserve you.' Ben's voice echoed in her mind.

'You're not going to the University? Why not! It's because that Kevin boy doesn't go to school isn't it!' Her parents voiced rang in her head.

Her mind was crowd with voices and fear. Unconsciously, she began to cry. Kevin noticed her sobs and looked at her with smypathy.


"Baby, wake up." Kevin nudged Gwen.

"What?" She blinked. she realized her face was damp. "Where are we?"

"Going to eat." He pointed to the diner. She checked the time. It was 11 AM. Her parents were probably wondering where she was. She openned the door. Kevin waited for her and the two of them walked into the diner together. They were quickly seated and ordered.

"So where are we?"

"In the middle of Utah."

"Already?" She asked in disbelief. He nodded.

"Note that I've already drove for eight hours."

"I'll drive."

"Nah." The waitress placed the drinks between them. She smiled at the two.

"So where you kids from?" She asked.

"Kansas," Gwen answered.

"Oh, I see. How old are you two?"

"He's twenty and I'm nineteen." Gwen took a sip of her water.

"So are kids eloping in Vegas?" Gwen nearly choked on her water.

"Uh, no. Where would you get that idea ma'am?" Kevin asked politely.

"Oh, usually kids driving along the highway are running away and eloping and what-not." She smiled again and apologized for getting the wrong idea. As she walked away, Kevin got an idea.

Gwen and Kevin finished their brunch and proceed to keep driving. Neither of them really talked after the eloping topic was brought up.

What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California

Hynotized by the carbon monoxide
Would turning back be a good idea
Your cigarette after cigarette
Cannot help to calm your fear

Gwen started twitching. Her hands were shaking. Unable to take it, she openned the glove compartment and rumaged through it until she found the white box and a lighter. She rolled down the window. Tapping the box, a slim cigarette landed in her hand. She dropped the box into the cup holder. The used the lighter and lit her fag.

Inhale. Exhale.

"Whoa, since when have you smoked?" Kevin asked. Not once snce they've been dating has he ever seen her smoke. Yeah, he did and she never minded.

"Since now." She expelled smoke from her lungs before inhaling again.

"What's wrong?"

"Kevin, I'm scared." She rubbed her forehead. He placed a hand on her leg.

"I know." Silence. 'Damn it,' He thought to himself. She was suppose to be happy, not scared out of her mind. He wanted her to wan to be with him; this was so not what he wanted.

He kept driving. She kept smoking.


I was well into the night when Kevin pulled over to the shoulder.

"What happened? Are we out of gas?"

"No." He simply answered. Suprised, Gwen looked at him as he openned his door. He walked around the car to her side and openned her door.

"What are you doing?" He knelt down before. She looked at him in shock.

"Just be a quiet." He took a deep breath. "Gwendolyn Tennyson, you've made me the happiest man in the world. Despite all your fear, you came along with me. You're selfless, whereas I am selfish. I just... Gwen, you're amazing. I love you. I know I've said that a dozen million times already, but I mean it. I love you. This isn't probably how you pictured it and this isn't how I planned to do it, and Vegas is roughly an hour away. I don't have a ring, but..." He look into her jade eyes.

"Will you marry me?" Tears ran down her face as dropped her cigarette. His heart dropped.

"Yes," She answered without hesitation. His eyes brighten up. He quickly pulled her into a kiss. She wrapped her arms around him and deepen the kiss.

But I'm still driving
Just keep sleeping
We'll keep moving
But I'm not leaving no I'm not leaving

"Just a few more hours." Kevin said to a nearly asleep Gwen. She smiled at him. She admired the ring that he brought her. It was a silver band with a small diamond in the middle with two even smaller diamonds beside it. It wasn't much because they still have to find a cheap apartment.

"Are you happy?" He asked her hoping for a positive answer. He didn't want an honest one unless it was positive.

"Yeah."

"Good," he smiled. "Because if you weren't, this might have been kidnap." She laughed.

"Yeah, because I'm really going to marry my kidnapper." He laughed with her. She held her hand. He looked at it, then stretched his hand. She laced their fingers together. She put her head against her pillow and fell asleep.

"I love you." She whispered.


A 'Welcome to California' sign shined in the dark night. Kevin squeezd Gwen's hand. She moaned in her sleep.

"Honey, We're here."
