Disclaimer: If I owned TDI and The All-American Rejects, the world would be a very different place.

Author's Note: Egap! I'm doing… canon! Oh my… I'm not so great at canon, but let me know what y'all think. This is a Gwen/Trent, set to 'Mona Lisa/When the World Comes Down by The All-American Rejects. I suggest you pull up the song and listen to it as you read. It really sets the mood. Sorry for OOCness. Enjoy. Or try to.

Here's another pity there's another chance

"Gwen!" Trent called after her.

"Yeah?" she turned around, crossing her arms.

"I'm sorry! There's nothing between me and Heather," Trent walked up closer to her.

"Trent, I trusted you and you lied to me," Gwen said, trying to hold back tears. "I gave you another chance and you blew it."

"Gwen, do you really want Heather to come between us?" Trent took her hands.

Try to learn a lesson but you can't…

"I think there's a lesson to be learned from this," Gwen wrapped her arms around Trent's neck.

"What?" Trent asked, wrapping his arms around her.

"You suck at surprises," Gwen kissed him. Everyone at Gwen's surprise birthday cheered.

"Did I see tongue?" Chris asked from the crowd, yet again. Geoff and Bridgette threw their party favors at him.

"Who invited him, anyway?" Gwen asked Trent.

If we can burn a city in futures and in past,

"I hate history," Gwen grumbled.

"It's okay," Trent put an arm around him. "It's easy."

"I know it's easy," Gwen slammed her forehead into her Canadian history book. "I just don't like it. It's dumb."

Without a change our lives will never last….

"I don't ever want this to change," Gwen laid her head on Trent's chest.

We're going fast.

"Slow dancing? Sure, why not," Gwen shrugged. Trent put his arms at her waist as she put hers around his neck. Tonight was their Junior Prom and neither one of them wanted the moment to end.

"You can sit beside me when the world comes down, if it doesn't matter- then just turn around," Trent sang out as he strummed his guitar. Gwen was grinning.

"We don't need our bags and we can just leave town. You can sit beside me when the world comes down," Trent finished strumming.

What can we do better, when will we know how? A man says from a
sidewalk to a crowd.

"Hey! Act civil, you whipper snappers! When I was child…" an old man, Trent's neighbor heckled as Trent and Gwen walked down the opposite side of the sidewalk, holding hands.

If we can change the weather, if you wanted it yourself

"I love thunderstorms," Gwen said. "They're perfect for watching scary movies!"

Gwen put a horror flick into the DVD player.

"Are you sure this is good idea?" Trent asked her, trying to mask any worry.

"Aw," Gwen cooed. "You aren't… scared? Are you?" Gwen sat on the couch, snuggling up to Trent.

"Nah," Trent said, with a goofy grin on his face.

If you can't
I guess we all need help, yeah, I need help.

"You can sit beside me when the world comes down, if it doesn't matter- then just turn around," Trent sang on stage, his eyes never leaving Gwen's. It was their two year anniversary and Trent sang her favorite song for her.

"We don't need our bags and we can just leave town. You can sit beside me when the world comes down…"

We say

"I love you," Trent held Gwen closer.

"Me too," Gwen said, happy beyond words.

We do

Despite the pouring rain, Gwen and Trent were still locked in a passionate kiss.

The lies

"Trent doesn't love you," Heather jeered.

"Get a life Heather and leave us alone!" Gwen spat.

The truth

"I love you with all my heart, Gwen," Trent pulled something from his pocket. He got down on one knee. "Marry me," he whispered.

"Aw, Trent," Gwen eyes watered. She kissed him. "I would love to be your wife."

All I need is next to me…

Trent looked to his side at Gwen and took her hand, squeezing it softly, giving her some affirmation.

Mmmmmmmmm we're going fast…

"I think we're going to have slow dance, this time," Trent told her. It was their engagement party and they had just exchanged the rings. Gwen looked at her ring, a golden band with a big blue glistening gemstone.

"You can sit beside me when the world comes down, if it doesn't matter- then just turn around," Trent sang.

"You be the queen and I'll be your clown. You can sit beside me when the world comes down," Trent looked at Gwen, who was close to tears. "This song goes out to my fiancé, my Mona Lisa."
