A/N- Things have just been insane for me lately, and I'm not even in school yet.. But it's settled down some so I have time to update. So, how about that finale? I didn't see that one coming. It was Cameron in Canada and I thought the US would do the same thing. I liked the twist though. For some reason, Lightning is one of my favorites in the new TD generation.

So, back to the story. The pairing for this chapter is... Gwen and Trent! The other two pairings had a few votes and Gwent had the most. So, let's get our Gwent on. Hah, it sounds like some kind of dance. Dontcha think? The Gwent. To the left, to the right, and do the butterfly.(;

OH. And Bellz645546, THANK YOU FOR THE IDEAS. :D And jayne/axh lover (I'm convinced you're the same person, or you both read LPALG, love aleheather, want me to put them in the closet together, and type in the same way.), I'll get to Aleheather! Near the end we'll have some bigger couples, both throughout TD and the LPALG series. WHEW. Long author's note. Story time!

Disclaimer- I own nottin'.

DJ sat a very loopy Owen down on the armchair near the closet. Owen still said things about swirling cheese and orange cows, but he was starting to tire out. He had been running around for five minutes prior to DJ sitting him down, laughing at everyone's heads that spun around in his head.

The party was starting to die down, and Geoff wanted to spice it back up. What way to spice things back up than to put an old flame back in the closet?

"Dude, can we put Gwen and Trent in the closet next?" Geoff asked Duncan.

"You're funny party boy," Duncan replied.

"I was serious," Geoff said after a moment.

"Oh. Well the, forget you. We're not putting Gwen in with Nine Freak McElvis," Duncan replied.

"Come on dude! This party is slowly dying, and we need to start it back up! I think putting an old flame in together will kick it back into place!" Geoff said.

"Not that one! Why not put someone else in? Owen and Izzy? That'd be a fun combo," Duncan suggested.

"Owen is high out of his mind cause he decided that special brownies were a-okay to eat. We're putting Gwen and Trent in. It's my party, so I get the final call," Geoff said and grabbed the microphone. "Gwen ands Trent to the closet please!" Geoff said.

"Dude," Duncan whined, as the two made their way to the front of the room. They both knew that they were going in the closet together, and it would be awkward after their agreement to be more than friends after the show ended, Gwen got with Duncan, and Trent wasn't too happy with it.

"Closet time!" Geoff said, pushing the two towards the closet.

"Can't it be with someone else?" Trent asked.

"Gee, thanks," Gwen replied sarcastically with an eye roll. Geoff pushed the two inside the closet, and shut the door, as DJ walked back to the little group hosting the game.

"You're not coming out until all problems have been solved!" Geoff yelled.

"It's like drunken therapy," DJ muttered to Duncan.

"I just can't help but to wonder what's coming up," Duncan replied.

"Dude, you haven't seen anything yet," Geoff said, as he locked the door and set the timer.

"Seven minutes starting... now!"

Inside the closet with Elvis and Kristen Stewart (*)...

"So, how's the us being more than friends thing going for you? I can totally see we're together" Trent snapped.

"Look, I know you're not happy, but life changes. People change. Minds change, and I changed my mind," Gwen replied.

"You still promised to give us a second chance," Trent said.

"I know. But I started liking Duncan, and-"

"It's always Duncan. Duncan is better than me, I get it. I think the whole world gets it. But can we drop that for a minute?" Trent said.

"Hey," Gwen said, putting a hand on Trent's shoulder. "You and Duncan are both good."

"But he's better. You gave him a chance and not me," Trent pointed out.

"So what? Maybe we just aren't meant to be. Maybe I'm supposed to date Duncan and you're supposed to date some other girl who will treat you much better than I did," Gwen said. Trent gave her a small smile.

"Thanks Gwen. Sorry I've been treating you like crap," Trent said.

"I deserved it," Gwen said with a small shrug, then sat down on the floor. Trent followed.

"You're thinking of something, I can tell," Trent said.

"Yeah. I think we should, you know, have an actual goodbye kiss. The last time we did that, we wanted to get back together. But, I say we do it to move on with our lives. This is holding you back, and me too," Gwen said.

"So we're officially going to end it?" Trent asked. Gwen sighed.

"Don't hate me after this," Gwen said.

"I won't. I agree with it. I think it's time I move on from the mystery surrounding you," Trent said.

"Then let's do it," Gwen said. The two leaned towards each other until they met lips. After a few moments, they pulled apart.

"We're both free to move on now," Gwen said.

"Good. I needed that," Trent said. Gwen nodded, then started laughing. "What?" Trent asked.

You have some lipstick on your face," Gwen said, and wiped it off with her thumb.

Outside the closet with a free Elvis and a free Kristen Stewart...

Duncan had his ear to the door, listening in on the two to make sure nothing too serious was happening. He sighed in relief when he heard that they were finally ending everything. He could protect Gwen from Trent much less now.

"How are things going?" DJ asked. DJ sat on the sofa next to a passed out Owen, drinking water.

"Gwen and Trent completely ended things, and are small talking," Duncan said.

"Well, that's good dude. You get Gwen to yourself now," Geoff said, as the timer went off.

"It's the best thing to happen all night," Duncan said. DJ and Geoff stared at him.

"Come on, I don't approve of the drinking at this party, and I even think you're over exaggerating," DJ said.

"Maybe just a little," Duncan said with a shrug, as Geoff opened the door. Gwen and Trent walked out. Gwen went up to Duncan, as Trent went back to the mini dance floor in Geoff's living room. He gave a wink to Gwen before walking over to talk to Lindsay and Beth.

"So babe, how did things go?" Duncan asked.

"You're not gonna tell me you didn't have your ear on that door," Gwen said. Duncan shrugged.

"So is the whole ending thing gonna stick this time?" Duncan asked.

"I'll make sure it will," Gwen said.

"Good. Now, can you go get me some punch? We have another pairing to put in the closet," Duncan said. Gwen nodded, and went to the punch bowl.

"Dude, does she know it's spiked?" Geoff asked.

"She doesn't have the slightest clue," Duncan replied.

(*)= So Trent thinks Gwen is cheating on him, and if you're a breathing person then you've heard about the KStew and Rob thing. So, hence me calling Gwen Kristen Stewart. I still adore Kristen though.

A/N- So, I have something to announce... this was the 10 more chapters to go mark. This story will end at chapter 21, unless I feel like adding an extra chapter in. I'm super busy with my new story and Tumblr has taken over my life. So.

Pairing time!

Cody/Katie (Was asked to do this one at least twice. I'll play around with it if it wins.)

Eva/Noah (The sane half of Team Escope!)

DJ/Bridgette (I think I did them in LPALG. They're a really cute couple to write for anyways.)

So someone in each pairing was in the closet recently, but not a single care was given. Keepin it clean folks.

Read, review, vote, and motivate me to update faster. Seriously. I'm getting lazy with this site.
