Alriiiiight, it's time for chapter three! :D Disclaimer: I don't own Ben 10. :(

I felt the blood drain from my face. I had to marry Landon? I must have heard wrong. "I have to do what?"

"Marry me." Landon said quietly.

I took several steps away from them. "I'm only sixteen. I'm to young to get married."

"That's why you date a year. Then get engaged. You will get married at eighteen." Grandma Verdona explained.

I shook my head. I couldn't agree to that. "No, I won't do it." I said shakily.

"You have to marry me. If you don't I'll lose my powers." Landon pleaded.

"Than go to Anodyne." I replied.

"Gwen, do you really want to lose your powers?" Grandma Verdona cut in.

I shook my head slowly. "Of course not, but I have a boyfriend."

"And do you think he would still be your boyfriend if you didn't have your powers?" Landon asked.

My mouth dropped open. I could not believe he asked that. "Of course he would still be my boyfriend."

"But things would be different. You couldn't go with him and Ben when they go off on a mission. Do you think you could make your relationship work?" Grandma Verdona asked.

I nodded slowly. "Yeah, Julie and Ben are together."

"But Julie has Ship, and she also has tennis. What would you do when the guys are gone? You've spent all your time with them and studying magic, without your powers you will lose them both."

"Plus Kevin likes power. Do you really think if you were weak he would feel the same way about you?" Landon added.

I was speechless. They had a good point. If I didn't have my powers I probably wouldn't have a life. I slowly turned to look at Grandma Verdona. "Is there any other way?" I whispered.

Grandma Verdona shook her head. "There is no other way. It's for the best Gwen. You will have your powers. You can still fight the bad guys, and Ben and Kevin will still be your friends."

I took a deep breath. My head was spinning and I felt faint. "Can I have two weeks to decide?" I asked weakly.

Grandma Verdona shook her head. "I'm sorry Gwen. You can only have a week. Oh, and one more thing," Grandma Verdona took a step closer to me. "You can't tell anyone about this conversation. If you do, your powers are gone."

My eyes widened. "So, if I broke up with Kevin..." I let my voice trail off.

"You can not tell him why." Grandma Verdona finished softly.

I looked down. "I-I need time to think."

Grandma Verdona nodded.

When I looked back up I discovered I was in my room. I went to my bed, curled up, and began to cry.

I walked into Kevin's Garage. It had been a couple of days since my conversation with Landon and Grandma Verdona. Kevin was under his car. "Kevin?" I said softly.

Kevin jerked. "Ow." He mumbled. He quickly rolled out from under the car. There was a red spot on his forehead. Kevin jumped up and was beside me in an instant. "Where were you? I've been calling you all weekend. And why did you talk to Ben, but not me?" Kevin asked gruffly.

I knew he was mad at me, but I could also tell he had been worried. "Sorry I worried you." I said softly.

"Don't do it again." Kevin stared at me closely. "Why are your eyes so red?"

I looked down. I couldn't tell him I had been crying all weekend.

Kevin placed his thumb under my chin and lifted my head up until I was staring into his obsidian eyes. Kevin leaned in and gently kissed me. "What's wrong Gwen?" He asked when he pulled away slightly.

I was breathless. Kevin didn't kiss me much, but when he did I was always left breathless. This was going to be a lot harder than I thought. "Can we talk?" I asked slowly.

An amused smile formed on Kevin's lips. "Sure. What about?"

"About us." I said softly.

I knew Kevin sensed something was wrong. He removed his hand from my chin. "What about us?" He asked frowning deeply.

Everything within me wanted to tell him how I felt about him. That I cared about him so much, but instead I said, "I think we should break up."

Tsk tsk tsk. She went through with it. Who would have thought? Certainly not me. 0:) I was really motivated, which is why I wrote this chapter so quickly. :D R&R.
