A/N:Geez….. if it wasn't for a certain cousin of mine (*ehem* Miggy) I wouldn't be updating this soon, and by soon I mean just a few minutes after the 2nd chapter. What's the point in stopping now I might as well make the best of it since my parents aren't here, but I really should be doing my chores. Eh what the heck another chapter wouldn't hurt right? *gulp* I hope not.

CHAPTER 3
There was an awkward feeling surrounding the RV, although Ben wasn't sure if he was the only one noticing it.
ARGHHHHH! This is practically killing me! Gwen's right there in front of me and I can't even manage to talk to her. What's wrong w-
He was stopped in mid-sentence by a female voice which he recognized with every bit of his being.
"Hey Ben"
She was still gazing at her laptop as she said his name. Ben had already put down his PSP, seeing that he wasn't actually focusing on the game he was supposed to be playing.
"Yeah?"
"How have you been these past few years?"
He was awe stricken when she faced him and gave him that angelic smile of hers.
"I've been fine"
"Just fine?"
Fine is exactly the word that described me for the past 5 years, it wasn't the same being without you.
"Yeah, is there a problem with being just fine?"
"No, not really. It's just that I thought you'd be doing great."
"Why is that?"
"You are in the soccer team, your grades have improved tremendously, and you're living a normal, happy life now."
Sure, he was in the soccer team and he definitely matured enough to have seen the light to improve his grades, but a happy life, no, normal, yes.
How am I supposed to be completely happy If you aren't by my side? I'd rather fight Vilgax a thousand times just to be able to spend every single day with you. Boy, I wish I could say that to her face.
"Sure, I guess I'm doing great. (Now that I can spend another summer with you) What made you ask?"
"No particular reason"
"How about you then?"
He was sort of glad that she brought up the topic, because now he gets to ask the questions.
"Me? Not much. I've just been busy that's all"
"Busy? With what?"
God knows what I'll do if it's been with another guy. I'll have to massacre him, and then launch the stupid boy's body into outer space. Wait, I think I'm exaggerating this… Nah, he has no right to even look at Gwen, let alone date her, besides she's mine and nobody else's.
"You know taekwondo, studying, honing my magic skills."
"Oh, so you haven't been on any dates lately?"
Why did I just ask that? I should start watching what I say from now on or else, if I end up telling Gwen that I love her who knows what'll happen. Now calm down and wait for her answer.
"Actually I haven't. But I'm sure you have Mr. Ladies' man"
"What are you talking about? I haven't been out on a date for a while too you know"
"So the Tennyson cousins are both single huh? Maybe we should start going out"
She flashed Ben a smile that would have made him melt in his seat, but all he could do was stare at her. He didn't even notice how his eyes got wider and the way his heart started racing.
Did I hear her right? She wants us to start going out? No that can't be possible, don't get your hopes up just yet. Gwen's just joking, I sure she is.
"Ben? Ben? Snap out of it, I was just kidding"
She waved her hand across his face and he started blinking.
"I know"
"Don't tell me you took that seriously?"
"Of course I didn't!" Ben protested.
"Yes you did! You want to go out with me don't you? Admit it"
"So what if I do!"
A long pause followed those words; the words that had them frozen in place. Gwen was the one who was able to choke out a decent sentence.
"What did you just say?"

A/N:Oh crap. How is Ben going do get out of this one? Find out in chapter 4! Like I said REVIEWS PLEASE :)
