Hey, guys...here's the third chapter. Sorry for the long wait. I'll try to post the next chapter next week to make it up to you readers. :D

R&R please.

Gwen's POV~~

She opens the door and meets her parents in the living room.

"Gwendolyn?" her mom calls. She sees that it was Gwen, who was missing for almost a week now; she runs toward her daughter and hugs her. "Frank!" she shouts excitedly. "Gwen's back."

"Gwen," her father says with a sigh of relief. He hurriedly came down from the stairs and joined his wife in their embrace.

"It's great to be home," Gwen says, still embracing her parents.

"Ben did promise that he would find you," her mother narrated after releasing her daughter.

"He did, so did Kevin," Gwen replied.

"What happened, dear?" her father asked.

They moved toward the sofa and they begin their narration there. Gwen's parents were in a mix of emotions. Should they ban Gwen from hero work with her cousin? Or should they let her continue with her plan?

"Dear, we're so happy that you're back," her mother said and hugged her once more. "But would you let your father and I speak alone?"

"Sure, mom," Gwen replies both smiling and wondering. She heads to her room upstairs and shuts the door behind her.

"What is it, dear?" the anxious husband gently asks. "What is worrying you?"

"It's Gwendolyn," she replies.

"What about her? She's back with us isn't she?"

"Yes, but we can't put her at risk like that again," she continues. "Should we stop her work with Ben?"

"We are her parents and we know what's best for her; but it's her choice, we can't stop her from doing what she wants," Frank declared. "She's already fifteen."

"Yes, but is it the right thing?"

"It should be. Plus, Gwen has her grandmother's powers so she can take care of herself."

"But what if she's-"

"Dear, you're worrying too much," he said in the most tender voice he can muster; at the same time he pulls his wife to a gentle hug.

Lily, knowing that Frank's words was correct, sighed. She didn't argue any more and hugged him in return.

Gwen, who was in her room, began thinking. What should I do tomorrow? Should I let Darkstar talk with me again? Should I ask Kevin what to do? Should I let Ben and Kevin come with me? I think I should ask Ben for advice.

Gwen grabs her phone on top of the desk beside her bed and dials a number. She puts it near her ear as she heard the ringtone.

On the other line someone picks it up. It is Ben.

"Hello?"

"Ben?" Gwen asks faintly.

"Yeah, Gwen?"

"I'm kinda in a dilemma right now."

"How can I help?"

"Well, remember what we're gonna do tomorrow?" she starts.

"Yes," Ben pauses. "Well, not exactly, the plan was a bit vague."

"We're gonna meet up with Mike tomorrow, remember?"

"Right, that was the plan," he chuckles.

"So?" she hopefully and eagerly asks him.

"So what?" he asks back unknowing of what to reply.

"So sould we meet up with him again?"

"Well, in the right mind, I would be in between. If someone was trying to be good, we have to be willing. But then again this is Darkstar we're talking about."

"So we have to be cautious tomorrow," Gwen firmly said, making up her mind. "Thanks, Ben."

" So I'm coming on your date tomorrow, right?" Ben teases.

"It's not a date," his cousin firmly retorted.

"Hehe," her cousin snickered. " I was just kidding."

"Not in the mood right now, Ben."

"Alright, alright, it's just really good to have you back, that's all."

"Why?"

"You were gone for a week I guess and Kevin became moody."

"Really." Ben can sense the anxiety in her voice in the other line.

"Yep, weird though. And trust me, you don't want to know what happened."

"I'll take your word for it then; goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Gwen hangs up and goes back to her wondering. She then realizes that she has to call Kevin. She dialed Kevin's number. Repeating the whole process, she puts the phone near her ear again as she heard the ringtone.

Kevin sleeps in his car in the garage while his phone beeps in his pocket.

"Huh?" Kevin absentmindedly realizes. "Oh, my phone," he pulls his phone out of his pocket and sees Gwen Tennyson calling... and answers the call.

"Kevin?" a familiar voice is heard on the other line.

"Gwen, yeah, it's me," he replies. "What's the plan?"

"We meet with him tomorrow."

"What?" he shouts. "What were you thinking?"

Gwen, shocked at what Kevin said retorted. "I already made up my mind."

Kevin could sense the hurt in her voice. He wanted to say sorry but held back.

"Goodnight," she said glumly and hanged up.

Kevin did a face palm. Smooth move, Kev. Now she'll hate me. Why did I say that? Tomorrow, I'll apologize tomorrow. No, I should do it now. Should I?

Thanks for reading. Review and tell me what you think. Anonymous reviews accepted.

For the Gwevin fans who hate where this is going. The next chapters would be more about Gwevin. There's no fun in the couple if there are no problems so please bear with me; I'm trying to make this story as interesting as I could.
