A/N: wow. I just needed to get something up today. It's insane how busy I've been.

This one goes out to one of my fave reviewers: ledah13. not an actual fanfic user, but always out there and I love reading the reviews on everything. This idea was given to me back at like chapter thirteen and I've been saving it since forever. Now I think I should use it. Thanks for all the reviews, Ledah! They always make me laugh!

And after this is the one from my 200th reviewer: TheSoundOfMelodies

"Do you know how skilled I am?" asked Kevin, looking at Ben with his deep obsidian eyes through the rearview mirror. "I can fix cars. I can be a hero and bad guy at the same time. And I'm epic at stalking."

Gwen looked over at the dark teen in the driver's seat. He was just gloating at how perfect he was so that he could piss off Ben. Or maybe he was trying to impress her… She liked the latter option the best. But she wasn't impressed by the last one...

"Oh yes, Mighty Kevin," mocked Ben, putting a British accent on his voice. He did a fake bowing thing. "What else can you do, O' Wise One?"

Since the car had hit a particularly long red light, Kevin clapped his hands together in a somewhat mysterious way. "Magic."

"Pfft!" Ben started laughing and doubled over, holding his stomach like his guts were trying to fall out because he was laughing so hard.

The redhead looked over at him and raised an eyebrow. "Magic? Really? Was that the best thing you could come up with to lie about? Why not some kind of sharpshooter with a thirty two round caliber or something?"

"I can do that too, Gwen, but I'm serious about the magic thing." His obsidian eyes stared right into her and she could feel by his gaze that he was being totally a hundred percent serious with her and her cousin who was now gasping for air between girlish giggling fits.

She had to look back at him. Ben was blue in the face. It was pretty funny.

"Okay, Kevin, show us what you can do with-" Gwen paused so that she could do the mysterious clap thing that Kevin had done earlier. "-magic!"

He raised an eyebrow in her direction.

The light turned red.

"Show you in a minute," he said, letting his foot press down on the gas pedal so that the car charged forward at an alarming rate to anyone who wasn't used to his driving. Ben and Gwen were used to his crazy acceleration and quick braking so that the tires squealed beneath the car. "Gotta get to the next red light."

"Or to Mr. Smoothy for a smoothie," said Ben, barely regaining his composure while he wiped the drool off his face. He stuck his head between the front seats. "Then we can see you and your-" He also did the fancy clapping thing. "-magic!"

Kevin was getting a little creeped out by them… He pulled around the corner, the car coming face to face with another red light. "Gwen, what's that in your hair?"

The girl's normally pallid cheeks immediately flushed red and she started to fix her hair.

"No, no," he said, reaching across to help her. "This," he pulled a deck of cards from her mane of fiery scarlet hair. "How the heck do you get a deck of cards in your hair, Gwen?" he asked, staring at her with his false shocked look. It turned into a devilish smile.

"Kevin, don't ever say I have something in my hair ever again. Especially when you put it there." Gwen's eyes narrowed at the dark teen. She loved him, but lying to her and then messing with her was not going to get him on her good side. Not like they were officially dating or anything, but she liked keeping it as a possibility.

Instead of replying, he just smiled wide and tantalizingly. Kevin pulled the deck of cards out of the deck, sliding them neatly into his hand. He splayed them out in a fan-like fashion. "Pick a card, any card," he instructed Ben, directing this trick towards his brunette friend. "Except the one on top. I don't like the one on top so don't pick it."

Ben stared at Kevin like he was stupid. Which was true. He stuck out his hand and hovered it over the cards in the middle of the fan-like pattern. Then he immediately struck for the card on the top.

"I don't like that one," said Kevin with a shrug of surrender, "but whatever you want, Benji." He sighed and floored the gas again as the light turned green, folding the deck of cards back up and holding it in one hand as his other hand steered the car along the road towards Mr. Smoothy as Ben had asked. "Look at it, then shove it back in the deck as soon as we're at another light." He checked the speedometer. About a hundred and twelve miles an hour. He smirked.

The brunette was thrown against the backseat with some serious G-force. His jade green eyes flicked to the card. King of something… He couldn't make out the symbol. His hand was shaking too hard to tell. The car was going so fast… Clubs. He just thought it, not really caring if it was right or not. If Kevin were the real thing, he'd know exactly which card Ben had.

Brakes kicking in hard, Ben was thrown forward against the seatbelt as was Gwen as they braced themselves against nothing at all. Kevin used the leverage from pressing down on the pedal and a hand on the wheel to stop himself from flying forward and being practically murdered by the seatbelt. He stuck the deck back so Ben could stick his card back on it.

The brown-haired Tennyson put his card back on the top of the deck, holding his head with his other hand. Kevin's crazy driving was only getting worse. It was a miracle he hadn't been thrown in jail yet for all the speeding tickets he'd racked up in the glove box.

"Kevin, you need to slow down and stop doing that!" huffed a now furious Gwen. How could he be so inconsiderate for her and her cousin?

Running one hand through his ebony black hair, Kevin looked back at Ben. "Ben, you got something in your hair," he said, smirking again.

"If this is my card, I swear I'm going to torture you until you tell me how you did it," said Benjamin, running his fingers through his hair until, sure enough, he pulled a card from his locks of muddy brown. He closed his eyes, really hoping it wasn't what he thought it was. Holding it in front of his face, he opened his eyes.

King of clubs.

He cursed under his breath.

"Cool, ain't it?" laughed Kevin, hitting the brakes again, lighter this time. He knew how he did it. No one else did though. That was what he loved.

Gwen blinked a few times. "Where did you learn all this stuff?" she asked, watching him now with awe. Kevin did have skill in more ways than she could've imagined. Magic was one of his many talents.

Now she could be jealous of him…

"Met David Blaine back in New York." Kevin floored the breaks once again as he pulled into his usual parking space at Mr. Smoothy. The place was almost empty at this time of the night. The moon lingered high in the sky. "He taught me a lot of this crap, but it stuck and I made a little cash off of it." He shrugged. "You guys can't say all the stuff I learned in New York was bad, now can you?"

Both of them shook their heads.

With a redeemed smile, Kevin leaned over and popped open the glove compartment, Gwen shying away from him slightly as he did whatever he was doing. She wasn't sure what the dark teen was doing, but she sure wanted to know.

"Now check this one out." Kevin grabbed one of the bigger speeding tickets in the bunch that stuck out of his glove compartment. He formed his hand into a cylinder with a little hole in it. He looked at Gwen specifically, giving her his signature grin and a little glint of that familiar roguish charm sparkled in his eyes. He carefully flattened out the ticket against the console between the front seats before carefully pushing it into his hand.

"What the heck is that supposed to do?" snorted Ben, finding this trick categorized under the term 'lame'.

Kevin's looked back at Ben before returning his gaze to Gwen. He opened his fingers one by one until she could see what was in his hand: a yellow rose. Her favorite.

She looked at him, lips forming a little 'o' in shock.

"Yeah," he said, smiling at her with a flash of pride in his grin. He offered it out to her, placing it in her palm. "It's for you."

A/N: cute Gwevin-y ending. Awwww. Thanks to Ledah! This was really fun to write… it's a miracle I finished it tonight. Anyways, check for my review on 'Fused' tomorrow or Sunday (probably Sunday or even Monday). Thanks for reading and leave a review!
