Gwen pouted as the thermometer was forced into her mouth. Her arm was grabbed and a needle struck her vain. "was that so bad" A woman asked as gently causing Gwen to give her a puppy dog look.

She just rolled her eyes smiling as she came over and patted the girls back. "you'll be okay" Lilly told her sitting down next to her.

"That's the fourth. OW… fifth needle" She stared daggers at the doctor. "You'll thank us later for it" Lilly told the girl in the hospital gown. Frank sat in a chair in the corner reading a newspaper he had picked up.

He looked up as the doctor said. "only a few more and you can go" The doctor told her as he wiped down her arm with anaesthetic then placed the needle into her arm and forced the liquid out of it. She winced her eyes shut and looked away as he pulled out another needle.

"Aww… Sweety are you afraid of needle?" Lilly asked as she held her.

"No I just don't like them in total" Gwen said as she leaned back against the wall as the doctor pulled out another from the metal tray. Three were left on the tray.

"Please, no more" She begged as she backed away.

"Common Gwenny" Lilly smiled pulling her arm out to the doctor. Gwen stiffened as he placed another needle into her arm. "Ah…" She backed away but the doctor just held her.

"It's alright miss Tennyson just relax" He told her.

"Your not helping" Gwen winced.

"Alright one more" He said pulling her other arm and jabbing the needle into her. Frank got up and walked over to her. Gwen winced as the needle was brought out of her and placed into a metal box.

She rubbed her arm and stared daggers at him. Frank just watched the doctor.

"Do you mind running a simple blood test… you know; to tell if she's allergic to anything" Frank stroked Gwen's back comfortingly. "Yep sure" The doctor said as he pulled out a large needle causing Gwen to almost faint.

"Common now" Frank picked her up and pulled her forward. He gently pulled the needle towards the skin as Gwen winced her eyes shut and looked away. She bit her bottom lip and trembled as she felt it slide into her. "There you go" He said as he pulled the needle out. She looked up and saw red liquid in the needle. "Just one more thing left then" The doctor turned towards Frank as Gwen looked up at them.

"What's left?" She raised her eyebrow. "Chicken pox injection Gwenny" Frank placed a hand on her shoulder. Gwen gulped knowing what was coming next.

Gwen fell asleep on the bed after a hopeless struggle against the doctor and a large needle full of disease. Lilly stroked her hair as she snored lightly.

Frank watched them smiling to himself but only to be stopped when the doctor came back into the room. "Well we have the blood test results back and the DNA test" The doctor said.

"which one would you prefer to hear first?" The doctor asked.

Frank looked over to Lilly who smiled.

"The DNA test"

Ben waited patiently outside his Aunt and Uncle's house. He hadn't seen Gwen the whole day and it was hitting 4pm. He finally saw a car roll up and the people jump out.

"Gwen you have to stop scratching" Frank told her as she continued. "But its sooo itchy" Gwen complained scratching her neck until Lilly forced her hands away. "I'll run you a bath and you'll feel better" Lilly told her as Gwen winced. "Woah Gwen what happened to you" Ben laughed causing Gwen to punch him in the arm.

"That's not funny Ben" She itched.

Frank unlocked the door and walked inside.

Ben and Gwen followed as Lilly walked up stairs and began running the taps.

"I never wanna go to another hospital again" Gwen hissed.

"You've never had chickenpox before?" Ben asked as Gwen got more annoyed.

"No" She groaned as she collapsed onto the floor itching her head off.

Frank came over and picked her up off the ground.

"Common Gwenny you need to stop itching" Frank told her as she winced attempting not to. "Gwenny?" Ben snickered as Gwen narrowed her eyes at him.

"What's so funny?" She asked.

"Nothing… I think it's a cute name" He brought her in for a hug.

"Gwenny" He chuckled.

"Does that mean I can call you Bengi?" Gwen asked bringing her lips closer to Ben's.

"No…" He snickered. Lilly came down stairs and called over to Gwen.

"Gwenny, baths ready" She called out as Gwen got up and moved over to her and up the stairs.

Lilly walked over to Ben and sat down next to him. "Ben go get Max and your parents we've got some great news" She told him.

"what?" Ben smiled.

Lilly ginned like crazy.

"just go get your parents and your grandpa. On second thought we'll meet at your parents house. Tell your grandpa" Lilly shooed him off out the door.

20 minutes later- Ben's house

Ben sat on the couch contemplating what was about to unfold.

Frank and Saundra came into the living room causing Ben to sit up more.

Max just smiled and put a hand on his knee.

"Frank what's going on?" Carl asked.

Frank just smiled.

"Read" Frank said as he threw the paper on the coffee table.

"Oh my…" Saundra said reading through the paperwork.

"What's going on?" Ben asked.

"Congratulations" Carl smiled at his brother.

"I'm so happy for you both" Saundra hugged Lilly.

"Is aunt Lilly pregnant?" Ben asked causing few people to laugh and snicker.

"Ben, Frank and Lilly are Gwen's actual parents" Max told him causing Ben to stare in shock.

"What?" Ben asked still uncertain. "Isnt it great Ben you and Gwen are cousins… your related" Carl said shaking his sons hair.

"No…" Ben stood up.

"we cant be" Ben's eyes narrowed.

"Ben what's wrong we thought you'd be happy?" Lilly asked. Ben sighed.

"I am it's just…" Max placed a hand on Ben's back.

"Does that mean I have to…" Max nodded.

"Sorry son" Max said.

Ben gulped.

He really liked Gwen but he couldn't go out with her now.

Especially since they're related.

"Can I tell her?" Ben breathed out and looked up to his aunt and uncle.

"Actually Ben we've decided to throw a party for her" Lilly told him stroking his cheek lightly.

"when?" He asked concerned.

"When you and her go back to school" Lilly replied.

"Next week?" Ben asked causing Lilly to smile.

"Bingo" She snickered letting go of him.

"until then keep it a secret"

_KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

A few days later

Gwen looked in the mirror checking out her reflection.

She smiled.

The chicken poxes were gone.

She brought her hand up to her chin and moved her head from left to right. Nothing but a clean, pale complexion.

She heard a doorbell sound off causing her to smile and run down stairs.

"Hey Ben" She jumped into the brunettes arms and kissed him on the lips but he pulled away. She knew Ben had been acting a little funny lately but this was new.

"What's wrong?" She asked worried.

"Nothing…it just… I haven't brushed my teeth and you know it's probably not very nice and all" He backed away from her.

"Oh…" She scratched the back of her neck.

"I don't mind" She grabbed his collar and pulled him in for another kiss but he forced her away as she smacked into the wall. "What the hell?" She growled at her as he gave her a worried look.

"Gwen I'm sorry" He attempted to lift her up but she pushed him away and got up herself.

"You just… scared me" He scratched the back of his neck.

"I scared you?" She looked up at him not believing a single word.

"Yeah…anyway Mr. Smoothies is waiting" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her out the door.

It was quiet in the car.

Gwen looked over to him with worried eyes.

'Maybe he's not attracted to me anymore' she thought.

She took out a tiny mirror in her pocket and looked at her reflection.

She looked like a good girl.

High pony tail nicely dressed.

She liked it, but seeing Ben push her away, she just felt like he didn't like this side of her. the good side.

She sighed and placed her mirror back in her pocket.

'What if I went all bad girl again.

Would he like me' She looked out the window.

Ben looked over to her.

'oh gosh what am I gonna do?' Ben thought to himself.

'she probably hates me' he thought.

'why wouldn't she hate me, I've been ignoring her for four days now' Ben sighed.

'only a couple more days' He thought.

'only a couple more days until I get to tell her that we're related then she'll understand' Ben thought as he pulled into Mr. Smoothies.

"we're here" Ben said nervously.

Gwen looked outside to see the parlour. She didn't look too happy but she had good reasons to be. "Let me get you something" Ben said as he ran into the store.

Gwen rolled her eyes and sat down at a nearby table and leaned against her wrist.

"Hey!" Gwen looked up to see Kevin smiling down at her.

"Hi" She smiled nervously removing her arm off the table.

"where's Tennyson?" He asked as he sat down opposite her.

"Getting some drinks" She shrugged looking down at her hands.

He leaned closer to her and took her hands.

She looked up at him contemplating his next move.

"you know I was wondering if-" In an instance a loud explosion lit off causing Gwen and Kevin to look over. "What was that?" Gwen asked concerned. Ben rushed over to them to see the collapsed building. "We better go check it out" Ben said running. He was about to press down the omnitrix but stopped when he saw the redhead running with him. "Oh no" Ben stopped her. "what?" Gwen asked a little annoyed. "Stay here" Ben pointed to the ground.

"Your kidding right?" Gwen started to get aggravated. "It's safer here so stay" He told her. "I'm not a dog" She pushed his hand away.

"Dude" Kevin shook his head.

"Just let her come" Kevin pulled her arm and walked with her. Ben sighed. "Don't come running to me if you get hurt" Ben yelled but Gwen just waved him off.

He breathed out and pressed down the omnitrix turning into JetRay and speeded off towards the explosion. Kevin and Gwen ran over and hid behind a wall. Gwen peaked her head around and stared at the large monster. "Whose that?" She asked narrowing her eyes at the snake like creature.

"Who cares" Kevin absorbed the wall.

"Lets beat it" Kevin rushed out as Gwen just stared in shock. His arm changed into a sword as he lunged at the snake/ human creature. Gwen rushed in after him blasting the snake like creature high into the sky. "Woah!" Kevin breathed out as he turned towards her. "How'd you do that?" Kevin's armour slipped as he ran up to her. He took her hands as she answered by shrugging. In that instance JetRay came flying down. He pressed down his omnitrix turning back to Gwen.

"I thought I told you to stay" Ben said staring daggers towards the girl.

"Why should I?" She told him as a crowd came of people came up to them. Ben looked over to the crowd circling them. "we'll talk about this later" Ben whispered harshly as a new presenter came up to them. Gwen turned her back and pouted. "Ben Ten. Ben Ten" The presenter called out to him. Ben turned towards the camera smiling. "Is this your new sidekick?" The news presenter asked. "Sidekick?" Gwen turned towards him angrily.

Ben scratched the back of his neck.

"Call it what you want but she's more of a teammate if you'll as me" Ben pulled her in by the waist and kissed her on the cheek.

She let her guard down and smiled at him.

"Aww…" they heard the crowd go off a bit. "Is she your girlfriend?" The presenter asked gently. "well…" He scratched the back of his neck again. "She's…" He turned towards the redhead.

"That's classified" Ben told the woman. Gwen turned her attention towards the camera and stuck her tongue out at it smiling. She giggled lightly as Ben rolled his eyes smiling then joined in.

Kevin stood back and leaned back and leaned against a post rolling his eyes.

Ben and Gwen chuckled as the cameraman backed away as they began making faces at the camera. "lets wrap it up" The woman clicked her fingers in the air as she jumped into the truck.

The cameraman followed her as Ben and Gwen just laughed. "Sorry Gwen" He whispered into her ear. "I didn't mean to treat you badly I just didn't want you to get hurt" He hugged her.

"Can you forgive me?" He asked.

Gwen looked down for a second then looked up.

"Yeah" She kissed him on the lips. Ben couldn't take it anymore.

He new they were cousins but he didn't care anymore.

He ignored the crowd as the presenter told the stared at the two.

"Roll the camera" She whispered as the camera man came out and started to film they're little make out session. He pushed her into the alleyway as the cameraman filmed. Kevin looked over in shock. He punched the cameraman in the face and broke the camera. "What the hell's wrong with you" Kevin yelled at him.

"Too bad dude its live" The camera man told him as he picked up his hat and placed it back on. Kevin looked over to them. He narrowed his eyes at the brunette as he slid his hand under her shirt as she tried to pull him off.

"Ben. Camera" She winced.

Kevin walked over and pushed him off then grabbed his collar and forced him against the wall.

"What the hell Tennyson?" He roared into his face.

"What?" Ben stared at him.

"She said no" Kevin yelled.

"So…" He looked over to Gwen who was already up and straitening her hair and clothes.

"Sorry Gwen" He told her as Kevin put him down.

"It's okay. I just don't feel comfortable with a camera guy recording it and a crowd" Gwen gulped.

Ben ran his fingers through his hair.

"Do you think that was live?" Ben asked worriedly.

"He said it was" Kevin answered causing Ben to gulp. "Ben what's wrong?" Gwen asked concerned. "Nothing… lets just go home okay" He began to walk away but stopped when he noticed Gwen not following. He turned round to see Gwen giving him a 'I don't want to leave look'

"Something wrong?" Ben asked.

"I've kinda been locked up in my room for three days straight and I haven't even seen all of Bellwood yet" Gwen itched the back of her neck.

"Gwen I-"

"Don't worry Tennyson I'll show her around" Kevin wrapped an arm around her. "We'll see you later Tennyson" Kevin told him about to walk off. "Absolutely not" Ben yelled causing them to stop in their tracks. "Common Gwen" He grabbed her hand and walked away but not before whispering. "Stay away from her Levin" Then walking off.

BEN'S CAR

"That was so rude" Gwen complained. "What?" Ben raised an eyebrow at her. "Kevin was just being nice and wanting to show me around and you just… Arrr" Gwen growled angrily slamming her head back against the seat. "it's not a big deal Gwen" Ben said as he started the car.

He heard Gwen groan as he sighed.

"I'll show you around then okay… just…just stay away from Kevin" He told her as Gwen raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" Gwen asked as Ben turned out of the car park.

"Just stay away from him," Ben told her.

"Are you jealous?" Gwen snickered.

Ben blushed.

"no I'm not jealous" Ben argued causing Gwen to laugh.

"You are jealous… You are sooo jealous" She giggled.

Ben slammed down the breaks.

"I'M NOT JEALOUS" He screamed at her as Gwen backed away into the corner of the car.

"Ben what's been up with you lately?" Gwen asked concerned.

Ben winced his eyes. "Nothing… just leave it Gwen" He restarted the car.

Gwen unclicked her seatbelt.

"What are you doing?" Ben asked as Gwen opened the door.

"I'm walking home" Gwen slammed the door and began walking.

"Gwen!" Ben complained slamming his hands down on the wheel.

He pulled down the passenger window.

"Gwen I'm sorry… Gwen please get back in the car" She crossed her arms.

"Alright Gwen you win okay… just get back in the car" Ben said as he continued to follow her with his car.

"I'm not going anywhere with you until you tell me what's going on…why are you acting weird?" Gwen stopped and stared at him.

"I'm not acting weird" Ben snapped.

Gwen just rolled her eyes and continued to walk.

"Okay, okay, okay" He stopped her. "I cant tell you now but I promise I will tell you soon" Ben said. "How soon" Gwen asked. "Soon enough" Ben said. "When?" Gwen pursed her lips. "When we go back to school okay I'll tell you then" Ben said. Gwen sighed and opened the car door then crawled in next to Ben. Ben smiled as she wrapped the seatbelt around her. "I don't want to go home yet" Gwen breath out.

"I'll show you around" Ben ran his fingers through her hair. She nodded but still looked annoyed. "and I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell," He told her. Gwen just nodded and looked away.

"Aww Gwenny your first day of school" Lilly hugged her as Gwen just rolled her eyes.

"I've been to school before" Gwen said.

"Yes but from what I've heard, you need more education" Lilly straightened the girls collar.

"Ben's gonna drive you to school" Lilly said as she primped the rest of Gwen's uniform making sure she looked presentable.

"You look a little nervous?" Lilly asked concerned.

"Of course I am I haven't been to school in years and-" She cut herself off from seeing the worried look from Lilly.

"I'm sure you'll be fine" Lilly smiled at her.

In an instance the door slammed open as Ben walked inside.

"Common Gwen" He pulled her hand.

Gwen picked up her backpack but Lilly came over to her.

"Kiss for good luck" Lilly said as she kissed her on the cheek.

Gwen giggled at the gesture.

"Thank you… for all of this" Gwen whispered as she walked out the door.

Lilly watched as the camero departed.

"Well this is your stop" Ben pulled up just outside the school.

Gwen gulped.

"Your not coming?" She asked but Ben just shook his head.

"I don't go to a private school" Ben told her.

Gwen looked up at the school again.

"I didn't know it's a private school" Gwen said.

"Why cant I go to yours?" She complained.

"Gwen the sirens gonna go soon. You better hurry in" He told her.

"But-" Gwen began but Ben just shooed her out of the car.

She clutched her bag as she watched him drive away.

"Great" She sighed as he drove away.

She turned back to the school and gulp hugging her bag.

Gwen walked up to her first class (Maths) opening the door to find the whole class staring at her.

yes she had gotten lost and of course no one helped her so right now she wasn't in the best of moods.

Gwen sighed as she sat down in an empty seat behind a blonde haired girl in a wheel chair.

She gave Gwen a weird look but the redhead just ignored her and sat down.

"Your late" The teacher said angrily.

"I'm new" She snapped then regretted it deeply.

"Out" The teacher pointed towards the door.

Gwen sighed and picked up her stuff only for the teacher to tell her to leave it.

She heard a few people snicker in the room as she walked out.

"I'll deal with you soon enough" The old grumpy teacher told her.

She sat down on the floor and brought her knees up towards her chin.

She winced as she heard the teacher yelling at the students. She looked up as the door slammed and a bald headed teacher stared down at her.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Gwen Mathews?" Gwen told him standing up.

The man searched down his list but didn't see her name.

"Your not in my class" He hissed.

Gwen leaned against the wall.

"Then it's under Tennyson" She rolled her eyes. "Stand up straight" He yelled causing Gwen to quickly get off the wall and stand properly.

"Your new here?" He asked causing Gwen to nod.

"I hope you don't speak to your parent like that young lady" He looked up at his clipboard.

Gwen was about to retort but sighed instead.

"No… sir" she told him looking down at the floor.

"Good now get back inside and turn to page 54 and start doing the questions" He told her causing Gwen to nod and walk back in.

She looked up to see a few people laughing but she just ignored them and sat down back behind the blonde haired girl.

The redhead sat alone at the lunch room.

She kind of like it.

A whole table to herself. She pulled out the museum book and started reading. "Hey!" The blonde haired girl in the wheelchair came up to her. Gwen looked up and removed her glasses.

"Hi" She smiled but her expression dropped. "Emily" She extended her hand. "and you are?" Emily asked.

Gwen just looked down at her hand then back up at her. Emily pulled her hand away and looked at the girl nervously. "Your not from around here are you?" Emily asked. Gwen shook her head. "Where are you from?" She asked. "…New York…" Gwen finally said in a sigh. "Whatcha reading?" Emily wheeled over towards the redhead as she pulled her hand away. "I… um.. ah…"

"Cool. Is that like an ancient language or something" Emily smiled at her. Gwen smiled. "Umm… yeah" She said scratching the back of her neck. "So what's your name then?" She asked. "Gw-" in an instance a blonde haired girl walked up with two other girls behind them. 'Sluts' Gwen looked them up and down. "oh look its wheel chairs and the new girl" the blonde haired girl said. She walked over to Gwen.

"Watcha reading there new girl?" The blonde haired woman said.

"Freaky writing" The girl took the book and flicked through the pages.

"Give it back" Gwen got up and tried grabbing it but she moved away. "Why should…" The girl turned round to see the redhead with glowing eyes. She stared in shock as she cowered to the wall. Gwen placed her hand out awaiting the book. The blonde haired passed the book back shakingly.

Gwen's eyes stopped glowing as she looked down at the book. She turned back to see everyone staring at her even Emily.

Gwen sighed and grabbed her bag then began walking out of the room towards the exit of the building. 'Frank and Lilly wont mind right' she thought to herself as she walked down a sidewalk. 'it's my first day of school anyway of course they wouldn't mind me skipping the rest of the day' she thought. "it's just Ben that'll be mad" Gwen said to herself. "Why would Tennyson be mad" She heard as voice behind her causing her to turn round. "Kevin…um no reason" She scratched the back of her neck. "Aren't you sup-post to be at school?" Kevin asked. "Yeah its just…its my first day and it's not really working out" Gwen told him. "oh okay then… you wanna go grab a smoothie?" Kevin asked as Gwen shuffled nervously. "Ben said-"

"Ben says a lot of things. Are you really gonna let him babysit you 24/7?" Kevin asked. Gwen shook her head. "alright then" He took her hand and pulled her towards his car.

"I don't know what's wrong with Ben lately he's been acting so weird" Gwen told him sipping her smoothie. "Yeah Tennyson does that" Kevin said looking down at her. "What's wrong with him?" Gwen asked. "I don't-" Kevin cut himself off thinking of an idea. "I'll show you" Kevin smirked as thunder started to streak the sky. "Woah" Gwen shied as Kevin shrugged. "Perfect timing" He placed his hand out. She smiled and grabbed it as they walked over to the car.

BEN'S SCHOOL

"Why are we here?" Gwen slumped in her seat.

"Cause Julie didn't come to school today and Ben promised to meet her after school" Kevin told her as they sat in the car. "Firstly how'd you know and secondly whose Julie" She questioned.

"I have my ways and Julie's a special friend of Ben's" Kevin told her.

"what do you mean special" She asked. Kevin pointed over to Ben.

Gwen smiled about to get out the car and greet him until a dark haired Asian American came over and wrapped her arms around her neck. "Ben!" The dark haired girl smiled and kissed him on the lips.

Gwen's expression dropped as she watched them.

Ben kissed her back whilst holding.

Kevin watched as tears threatened to spill.

"W-W-Whose Julie?" Gwen asked concerned.

"That's Ben's girlfriend" Kevin nudged her.

She watched as he ran his hands down her.

"Oh god" Gwen covered her mouth as tears streamed down her cheeks. She closed her eyes and shook her head. "Gwen it's okay" Kevin pulled her in so she could lean on her.

"Shhhh…" He smiled as she cried.

"Get away from me" She pushed him back and got out the car with her bag and began running.

"GWEN! GWEN!" He called out to her but she just kept running. Ben looked over to see the redhead running away and Kevin screaming his lungs out.

"What's going on?" Ben raced up to him. "Nothing" Kevin told him as he got in his car. "was that Gwen?" Ben asked causing Kevin to nod. "She's suppost to be at school" Ben said. "what's she doing with you?" Ben questioned. "She didn't like school and F.Y.I Tennyson.

She saw your little fiasco with Julie back there and she wasn't in the least bit impressed" Kevin told him as he drove away. Ben ran his fingers through his hair as Julie came over to him. "what's going on?" Julie asked. "Gwen thinks we're still going out?" Ben told her. "Why would she think that?" Julie asked.

"I don't know… we have to find her" Ben said as he got in his car. "Why is she in trouble?" Julie asked as she got in next to him. "No…Maybe... she just does really stupid stuff when she's upset and she gets herself in danger" Ben said as he started the car and drove away.

FOREST

"Stupid Ben" She hissed under her breath as she hoisted her bag up more on her shoulder. "Stupid Kevin" She cringed. "and a very stupid girl" She looked up to see a tall dark haired brown eyed man.

"Dad?"

'Bang'
