A/N: PEACE AT LAST! Time to get to work before I actually have to do homework over Spring Break…

Disclaimer: I do not own anything at all. Quit making me write these.


"No, Benji, I'm driving," insisted the Levin boy who had his keys in hand and was already standing defensively by the driver side door. "We're already by my car, and we have to get movin' before the Forever Knights get away. They've prob'ly already gotten over to the next block!"

Ben was standing towards the rear of the Chevy Camaro. "Man, my car is like ten feet away. Are you too lazy to walk ten feet to my car?" The brunette teen folded his arms across his chest and gave the dark teen a "you're such a wuss" glare.

"No," retorted Kevin. His eyes were narrowed at the smaller teen. "I just know that my car is faster anyways, remember?" A small smirk perched itself upon his thin lips. "Let's just go already. We're losin' ground by arguin' about this! Just get in my car and-"

"I wanna take my car!" whined Ben, stamping one foot and glaring at Kevin while puffing out a pouting lip. "Just walk ten feet and we'll go, Kevin. You don't have to be so stubborn all the time!"

"Yeah, I do. Now get in my car and we'll go chase down those metalheads." Kevin had opened up the driver's door. He had his hand on the top of the door and was about ready to get in when Ben made another smart remark.

"Says the metalhead himself."

Kevin was about ready to bust the kid a new butt. He was prepared to knock his buddy's block off. Maybe Ben's head would get to the Forever Knights faster than Kevin's car would if the Osmosian hit the brunette Tennyson's head off. "Ben…" His tone was clearly threatening.

There was a moment where Ben was actually afraid. Then he pouted a little bit more, taking a step towards his car. "I wanna drive."

Kevin groaned, looking to his redhead for some help in the situation. But the girl was completely impassive on the subject, just standing there and tapping one foot, clearly bored and tired of waiting for the two to just make up their minds and get a move on. "Gwen, make him get in the car."

"Kevin, just get in my car and we'll be fine," insisted Ben, clearly determined to get his way. He didn't like being told what to do and he especially hated it when it was Kevin who was making the demands. Kevin was always so irritating for the brunette teen. "We're losing ground."

Gwen was about to lose her last nerve. Her patience was like a ticking time bomb, running out quickly. The girl was about ready to explode and whack both boys over the head with mana in the form of a baseball bat. That would get them to start moving. "Why don't you each take your own car? I'll just ride with Kevin," she offered. The redhead only wanted to go catch up to the Forever Knights before they got away with the stolen tech from the warehouse.

"No." Each boy was automatically snapping. They wanted to drive, but they wanted to be in the same car. Gwen still wasn't sure why, but she knew she had to get them moving before they lost the Forever Knights altogether.

And the boys' arguing resumed. "Ben, I'm going to drive and you will get in my car, got it?"

"No. You will get in my car and I will drive us to the Forever Knights."

"Ben, you're stupid. I'm driving. Now get in my car."

"It's ten feet!"

"It's right here!"

It only took two seconds for Gwen to snatch the keys to the green and black muscle car from her boyfriend's hands. Then she pushed the Osmosian out of the way of the door and dropped into the driver's seat.

"Gwe-" Kevin's sentence was cut off by the growl of the engine as Gwen jabbed the keys into the ignition and started up the vehicle. It only took her a second to slide the seatbelt across her body and kick the car into gear.

"Is she really-" Ben couldn't even finish his question.

Gwen put the car into drive and let the wheels rip across the blacktopped street, driving quickly to catch up to the Forever Knights who had nearly gotten away because of the boys' arguing over who would drive them in their chase. She wasn't about to let the bad guys get away.

Ben and Kevin were left staring after her, the dust of the car's wheels on the road kicked up into their faces, leaving them in a cloud of gravelly grime.

"Good to see whose car you like better!" yelled Ben as he glared after his cousin.

Kevin snatched the keys from Ben and vaulted over the hood of the Mark 10 to get into the driver's seat. He wasn't going to wait until Ben got in. If the brunette boy took too long, Kevin was driving off without him.

The bearer of the Ultimatrix was still staring after the team's redhead. "Good to see that I won't be giving you a ride for the next month! Good to see what family means to you!"

A few seconds later, he was standing in a mist of powder that the wheels of his own car had thrown at him. "I HATE YOU, KEVIN!"


A/N: Hehe. Review please.
