A/N: So… yeah. Haha.

"Who wants to go with me to test out my car?"

It wasn't just Kevin's sudden appearance that surprised the Tennyson teens. It was the fact that Kevin was asking them to go with him to do car stuff. Car stuff. They never got invited to do car stuff. Especially not Ben. Not with his track record of destroying the poor Camaro.

Gwen raised an eyebrow to express her confusion. Her emerald gaze strayed from the long novel she was reading to her boyfriend's face.

Ben was the first of the cousins to speak up. "Are you serious?"

"Totally," said the Osmosian with a grin. "I was just messin' with some of my tech and I managed to make it submersible." His obsidian orbs danced with delight at the thought of finally being able to use his car like a submarine. He had already built it so that it could function as a smaller version of his jet with less aerodynamics, but now he wanted to be able to take it under the water.

Ben was automatically jumping up off of his bed from where he had been doing his homework and tossed a large Chemistry textbook aside. "I'm in!" he said eagerly, bounding to his best friend who stood in the bedroom's doorway.

Gwen had to take this in for a moment. She rethought his earlier words and let her mind drink in all the information she had on this. "Test?" she questioned, quoting what he had said when he had popped out of nowhere and appeared just outside of the room.

Kevin nodded quickly while a skittish Ben pranced like a bunny on steroids beside him. "Yup," said the mechanic as he stuck one hand in his pocket. "I made it submersible and now we gotta test it."

"Are you coming?" asked Ben, sounding as if he had just eaten a whole tube of the massive Pixy Stix sugar. "You have to come! It'll be fun!"

Gwen wanted to explain to her brunette cousin that Kevin had no idea what he was doing in making his car an underwater vehicle, but she knew she'd hurt her beloved boyfriend's feelings. And she didn't want to do that. She cared about him too much to hurt his feelings. So instead, the redhead quickly said, "I just don't think Kevin needs a submarine."

"I totally need a submarine!" argued the Osmosian. "Remember what happened on Pisces?"

Gwen bit her tongue. Kevin did have a point. That didn't mean she had to like it. "But how do you know this is going to work?" asked Gwen, still not wanting to undermine his mechanical skills. She just didn't want anyone driving that car into a lake or the ocean or something ridiculous.

"I threw some buckets of water at it and the inside wasn't wet when I checked," stated Kevin confidently, arms folding across his chest after his hand was retracted from it's position in his pocket. "I tested it mostly and now for the real thing."

"Mostly," noted Gwen, giving Kevin her signature 'You're doing something stupid again' look that she had had mastered for years now since her cousin had always been prone to doing stupid things too. "How do you know if it'll stand up to the water pressure?"

"Insulated it heavily and reinforced the metal with two more layers of heavy aluminum. And I gave the glass another coat or two of stuff that'll keep it from shattering." He gave his favorite Tennyson a cocky grin. "Come on, Gwen. Have a little faith in me. I'm not stupid."

A little giggle came from Ben and it only took Kevin a second to kick backwards without even turning around and send Ben crumpling to the floor.

Again, Gwen raised an eyebrow. She eyed her cousin who was now doubled over on the ground.

"He got on my nerves. That wasn't something stupid."

With a little huff, the auburn-maned girl rose from her chair after reluctantly shutting her book. "I'll trust you. That, and if you two get in trouble, someone's going to have to get you out of it."

"Let's go!" said Kevin, immediately storming off and out of Benji's house to go to his car that was parked outside.

Gwen looked down at her cousin as she passed him. He was moaning a little bit and she could pretty much figure where Kevin had kicked him. "Shouldn't have messed with him," sighed Gwen before reaching down with one hand to grab Ben's jacket collar and haul him off towards the car where she knew Kevin would be impatiently waiting.

A/N: Short, but I didn't feel like I needed anything too horribly long for this idea. And no, Chapter 29 doesn't directly correlate to this because of time period and team dynamics and some other stuff. But feel free to enjoy it again anyways! AND REVIEW!
