"Hey, Gwen" Ben smiled at her as she ignored him keeping a close eye on the bacon and eggs. He came up behind her and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder before leaning in and smelling the food.

"Something wrong?" Gwen asked still keeping a bad attitude towards him. "No just" He began. "Can you cook mine double sided" Ben told her. "Fine" She told him flipping over one of the eggs. "Actually make it two" Ben told her. Gwen huffed and flipped another one.

"Good girl" He patted her shoulder. It made Gwen growl. Ben smiled at her before walking out.

"Mmmm… This is nice Gwen" Max complimented her. "Thanks" Gwen mumbled keeping her attention focussed on her food. "She bummed about being Ben's slave?" Kevin asked. She just stared daggers towards him as they sat at the table. "So uh Gwen" Ben began smiling at her. "What?" Gwen hissed clutching her fork. Max just chuckled. "Cool it Gwen" He placed a gentle paw on her shoulder still chuckling. "I'm sure you two can work something out between you" Max told them before turning back to Gwen and whispering into her ear "Besides its only for a month then you can get your own back"

Gwen smiled mischievously. "Thanks Grandpa" She whispered back. He winked at her before residing back to his food.

Gwen looked up from her magazine as she heard someone whistle. She looked up from her old grubby book to see her cousin with his feet on the table pointing to his socks while reading one of his gaming magazines. Gwen arched an eyebrow as a low sound of snoring came from the back of the room while the RV hit a few bumps. "What?" Gwen whispered harshly. Ben smiled as he pointed back towards his feet. "Rub my feet" He told her flipping the page of the magazine and looked back down at it. "I'm not-" Gwen stared at him angrily before Gwen sighed and clutched the bridge of her nose.

Ben brought his foot across the table and into her face. Gwen removed her glasses and placed her book down to the side as he placed her hands on either side of his left foot. She gently tensed her fingers pushing simultaneously into his foot as she looked away. "Ah," Ben relaxed letting his hands hold the back of his head.

"That's nice" He told her smiling goofily towards her. Gwen groaned looking out the window. "isn't this great?" Ben asked her. "A whole month of you doing everything I say" He placed his other foot on the table. She moved her hands over to the other foot. "I can't believe I'm doing this" Gwen muttered complaining in disgust.

Ben just laughed at her as he watched her rub his foot. Her eyes glistened like emerald or like morning dew on the fresh green grass. He stared at her perfect features. Her red fiery hair strung back in a high pony tail. He frowned; he liked it better down.

"I think you should wear your hair down from now on" the words slipped from Ben's mouth. Gwen's eyes flickered over to him as an arched eyebrow began to imerge from the left side of her face.

"Why?" Gwen asked curiously. "You'd look better with your hair down" Ben removed his feet off the table and leaned over grabbing the back of her hair and dragging the band backwards so her hair flew out and over her back. "Ben!" She complained as she grabbed the back of her hair but it was too late. Ben had already sat down and placed the elastic idly on his wrist letting it rest there. "Give it back" She told him firmly.

"Uh, Uh, Uh" he leaned back and giving her another one of his signature smirks.

"I don't have to do anything you say" Ben chuckled. It made Gwen sit back down. "As a matter of fact you have to do everything I say" the words echoed through her head. Gwen gave him a very grim face before Ben sat up straight. "Now how bout a back rub, cuz?" Ben asked but more demanded.

"I think Grandpa's calling for me" Gwen smiled standing up and walking over to the front. "What?" Ben lifted himself up straighter and leaned over the side to see Gwen sitting down in the passenger seat next to the driver. "Hey, Pumpkin. You look nice with your hair out" he heard the retired man say before Ben groaned and slumped.

Gwen relaxed stretching in the passenger seat as Max smiled shaking his head at her. "What's so funny?" Gwen asked. "Did Ben seriously make you rub his feet?" Max asked taking a glimpse over to the wide eyed girl.

"I don't want to talk about it" Gwen crossed her arms and looked away. "That bad, huh?" Max chuckled shaking his head and looking back down the endless highway shrouded by what seemed like a desert.

NIGHT

The couple sat there happily with their arms wrapped around each other keeping themselves safe from the world as they looked up at the night sky. Gwen placed her head lightly on the boys chest as a blush wrapped itself around his cheeks. He wrapped his arm tighter around his waist and pointed up to a certain star.

"that's where Asmosiain is" Kevin told her. Gwen looked up at the small faded star in awe. It seemed so far away. He moved his arm a little left and pointed towards another star. "Antodyne's near that star" Kevin told her. It caught a lot of her attention as she lifted her head staring at the star in amazement. She wondered if Verdona was up there looking down on her? Or if Sunny was up there in trouble again with Antonio?

She giggled. It made Kevin look down at his girlfriend. "Something funny?" He asked caressing her side. "I was just thinking about Sunny and Grandma" Gwen told him. It sent shrills down his back. They looked back up to the night sky. "It's beautiful" Gwen smoothly told him. Kevin smirked thinking of a complement. "Not as beau-"

"HEY, GWEN"

Kevin growled as his girlfriends cousin came jumping in separating the two whilst landing in the middle. "Dishes" Ben pointed to the RV. "Then go do them yourself, Gwen and I are busy, Tennyson" Kevin growled at him. "Lighten up, Levin. Gwen has to do them anyway she's a gir-"

"You finish that sentence and I'll make sure you're seeing stars for the rest of the summer break" Gwen threatened him. He backed off a little. She sighed as soon as he did. "I'll be back soon" Gwen got up dusting herself off. "Aw, What?" Kevin was about to argue before Ben intervened yet again. "Great, some guy time" Ben smirked as Kevin watched his girlfriend walk off and into the RV. He glared towards Ben beginning to growl.

"TENNYSON!"

Gwen walked in to see her grandpa already in bed asleep and snoring. She smiled at him and walked up to him pushing the blanket more up so he was kept warm. "Night Grandpa" Gwen whispered before returning to the stockade of dishes, pots and pans. Gwen gave out an exasperated sigh. She grabbed the gloves placing them on then taking one of the dishes and placing it in the sink scrubbing it down. "Alright, Alright, Alright" Ben came in after having a little word with Kevin. "Keep it down, Grandpa's sleeping" Gwen told him as Ben rolled his eyes grabbing one of the plates she had placed on the bench to dry and grabbing a towel. "Give it a rest, cuz" Ben told her making her growl.

"You too, seriously?" Ben stared at her. She just returned back to her dishes. "Hey listen I need you to do me a huge favour" Ben told her as he wiped the dish down. Gwen just sighed grabbing another pot. She didn't know how much of this she could take and it had only been two days. "What do you want me to do?" Gwen closed her eyes scrubbing the inside of the pot down. "Well firstly, you still need to give me a back massage for totally skipping out dismorning" Gwen glared at him. He waited until she stopped before continuing on. "Then I need you to sent Julie a email (or text) telling her to meet us at Washington D.C." Ben told her. Gwen looked up to her. "You want Julie to meet us in Washington?" Gwen asked. Ben nodded. "Her last match is in a months time and she'll be in D.C the same time as us" Ben informed her.

"O-Okay" Gwen nodded thinking it'd be nice to have some female company around here once this whole ordeal with Ben has been cleared up. She smiled "I'll text her after I'm done"

Ben smiled back at her. "thanks, Cuz" He brought her in for a hug letting his hands slide through the locks of her hair.
