Sooo the last chapter was sad. :( This chapter should be happier, maybe...I'm not really sure... :D Disclaimer: I do not own Ben 10.

"Gwen, I thought you weren't coming."

I turned around and saw Ben. "Ben?" I should have figured he would be at Mr. Smoothies. It was his favorite place after all.

"Kevin said you weren't coming. So did you guys kick any alien butt while I was gone?" Ben asked.

Ben had gone off on vacation Friday, the day after I met Landon. He had just gotten home yesterday. "No, I didn't see a single alien while you were gone."

Ben grabbed my arm. "That's weird. Well come on. Kevin's waiting." He said as he pulled me.

I jerked my arm away from him. "Ben, there's something you need to know."

"Can you tell me later? We have to go." Ben said impatiently.

I wasn't sure where they were going, but I couldn't go. I was waiting for Landon. "I'm not going."

"What do you mean you're not going?"

"I mean I'm not going." I said slowly.

"Ben, let's go." Kevin said as he walked toward Ben. He stopped when he saw me. "Gwen." Was all he said.

My heart melted when he said my name. "Hello Kevin." I said softly.

Ben turned to Kevin. "Gwen says she's not going." He stated.

Kevin just stared at me.

I knew I should have looked away, but I was lost in his obsidian eyes.

"Gwen, Kevin? Hello?" Ben waved his hand in front of my face.

I snapped out of the trance I was in. "Huh?"

"Are we going?"

"You guys are, but I think it would be best if I didn't go on any missions for a little while." I said quietly.

"What? We need you."

I looked at Ben in surprise. "Where's that cocky attitude of yours?"

Ben grinned. "Fine, Kevin needs you, I don't. I can take care of myself."

"I don't need nobody. I can take care of myself. Always have, always will." Kevin snapped. "Besides if Gwen came we would just have to look after her." He added.

His words stung, but I wasn't about to let him know that. "Stop trying to act like a tough guy Kevin, you're failing at it." I shot back.

Ben glanced at me, then at Kevin, then back at me. "Am I missing something here?" He asked.

I put my hands on my hips. "You didn't tell him?"

"He's your cousin."

"So?"

"What's going on?" Ben asked.

"Gwen dumped me for another guy." Kevin stated matter-of-factly.

"What? No way. Gwen wouldn't do that, right Gwen?"

I looked down. I could feel them both looking at me.

"There you are, I've been looking for you." A cheerful voice said.

I turned and saw Landon. He had appeared out of nowhere. "Hey Landon.." I said slowly.

Landon put his arm around my shoulders. He shot a smug look at Kevin. "Ready to go Gwen?"

"Sure." I looked at Ben. "I'll see you later, call if you need me."

Ben nodded. "Alright..."

"Landon, for now on warn me when you do that." I said. We were outside of a café.

"Ok. So do you want to eat before we go meet your grandmother?" Landon asked.

"Sure, whatever."

Landon led me inside. He then ordered for us without asking what I wanted.

I glared at him.

Landon waited until we were eating before he began to talk. "Your grandmother is going to be so happy when she finds out you decided to marry me." Landon began.

I tuned Landon out, hoping he would be quiet. Unfortunately he talked until we finished eating.

Landon glanced at his watch. "Ah, it's almost time to go."

"GWEN!"

I jumped, startled to hear Kevin's voice. I pulled out my Plumber's Badge. "Kevin?"

"We need some help here Gwen. Vilgax, He already has Be-"

Kevin was cut off by a scream.

"Kevin? Kevin?" I waited, but there was no answer.

Uh-oh. So I was wrong, it's not happy. Oh well. R&R! :D
