Gwen walked down the street trying to blow off some steam from her fight with Ben. He couldn't believe what he had told her. The tears began to seep back into her eyes blurring her vision.

She used her palm to wipe the tears away as she passed an open alleyway ignoring the shadow that lurked within it's confines. Gwen paid no attention to the sounds around her. Of the breeze passing her ears and the clouds settling in. To her nothing seemed important right now. She felt embarrassed.

She just wanted to go home and crawl up under the sheets until the horrible feeling left her. She opened her eyes as something wrapped around her waist.

It squeezed tightly feeling like a rope digging into her flesh biting at her soul. Her eyes widened as she was flung back into the alleyway landing harshly on her back smacking her head on the moist path. Her dazed and confused state calmed her down before she heard laughter. Ignoring the pain she lifted her head up to see who it was. What was left of his hair blew in the wind. A zombie, a walking, talking zombie. Gwen was about to vomit.

"Darkstar" She breathed out lifting herself up. He chuckled. "I see your boyfriends not here to protect you this time" He took a step into the light his disfigurement glowing with disdain almost making his maddening smile worse. "We're on break" She rubbed her shoulder before looking over to the man.

"Shame" He smiled from ear to ear.

"What do you want?" She bit back the venom fresh on her lips.

He shrugged.

"Do you really have to ask" His hand swung back sending a barrage of manna stealing attacks her way. Gwen duck dived out of the way managing to side step every attack. She didn't bother wasting her energy on him knowing full well that it would just fuel his power. She rolled behind a dustbin taking out her phone calling Ben. "Gwen?" He was surprised that Gwen was calling him.

"Ben, south down ave. Alleyway, n-" The phone was blasted out her hand before she turned to see him coming over to her. She cursed under her breath as he came over to her spot.

"No where to run, Lovely Gwen" He chuckled as he came round to the side. "Gotcha-" He shouted grabbing thin air. "What?" He stared down at his hands. "Where'd yo-"

He was smacked in the head by a metal pipe.

"Next time, don't talk so much" She spat throwing the pipe away and staring at his unconscious body. Gwen smirked walking away before she noticed Ben come rushing up to her. He grabbed her face holding her tightly. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" Ben asked checking her for any injuries.

"I'm fine Ben" She pushed away from him. "You should have called me sooner" Ben argued with her. Her eyes narrowed at him as he hugged her.

"I'm fine Ben. It was no problem" Gwen mumbled. Ben sighed taking a breath in before looking over to her.

"You sure you don't want to sit down?" He asked.

Gwen shook her head bending over slightly. "I said I'm fine" She mumbled. Ben grabbed her helping her sit down against the moist wall.

"Just tell me where he hit you" Gwen looked away still mad at him. "Gwen, I'm sorry okay. I know you loved the other Ben but it's was still me the while time. I just lost some of my memories from the switch but please just give me a chance. Let's start over again. Let me take you out to dinner. I'll take you to the most fanciest restaurant, you name it" He held her hands. She thought about his offer.

She looked up into his eyes. "No more dictator stuff. No more getting mad so easily and scaring my mother"

Ben nodded. "Anything you want"

Gwen smirked lightly. Ben smiled back hugging her so tightly. "Thankyou, thank you, thank you" Ben told her.

"Ah, Gwen you won't regret it" He took her shoulders. Gwen smiled before she noticed something moving out of the corner of her eyes. She turned her head seeing Darkstar ready to attack Ben. Gwen's eyes and hands lit up a violet purple she turned her body shooting darkstar.

Ben heard the violent sounds of her powers they had grown to an extraordinary level. Ben watched as a white bright cloak casted down on Darkstar taking the energy that he had once stolen from her. Ben watched as the aggressive lights tore through darkstar until Gwen's hand finally retracted Darkstar was left standing there breathing heavily eyes widened. His eyes rolled back into his head as he collapsed to the ground. Ben stared in shock at Gwen's power.

"H-How'd you?" Ben' bottom jaw chattered. Gwen lifted her shirt up to find the grazes on her stomach had healed completely. "You missed everything that had happened. I've been going to Antodyne for 2 weeks every 2 months to learn how to master my powers" Gwen mumbled. "And she taught you how to do that" Ben pointed to Darkstar.

"I've had to learn a few new tricks myself but everytime I go there I get more and more powerful" She stared at her glowing hand its power burning so brightly.

"Grandpa and the Galvin's have been working on a bracelet for me so no one can steal my powers. Once we've completed it we can distribute it out to all Antodytes" Gwen smirked. Ben smiled back he extended his hands and helped her up. "Come on, we're going out tonight"

"But I haven't even decided where we're going" She told him. Ben smirked. "I'll dash you off your feet" Gwen smiled as the two walked away leaving Darkstar in a pit of his own mess.

Ben made sure Gwen got home alright without any supervillains along the way.

She thanked him and kissed his cheek before she walked inside to find a man with black hair wearing a tux and holding yellow roses in his hand. He sat on the couch as Lily spoke to him.

"Gwen, come here" Lily called to her daughter. Gwen walked over to her mother and stared at the man looking somewhat familiar. "Gwen this is Grandsmith" Lily introduced the rich looking man around her age.

"Er...hello" Gwen shook his hand. "Charmed" He passed her the flowers. Gwen stared in shock at them. "Um...thank you" Gwen smiled. "I heard they're your favourite" He smirked holding his tie proudly. "Yeah, they are" Gwen held them awkwardly. "Um, what's going on?" Gwen stared over to her mother in anger. "Gwen don't be so rude. Eddie here just wanted to meet you" Lily smiled at the man. Gwen narrowed her eyes. "I thought you said you were happy with mine and Ben's relationship?" Gwen asked gently. "It's just in case it doesn't work out" Lily whispered in her ear. "He proposed to me" Gwen whispered back harshly. "Gwen why don't you take Eddie up to your room I'm sure you have a lot of things to discuss since you last saw each other"

"Huh?" Gwen stared in shock before turning to the man.

"Wait your my grandpa's friends kid?" Gwen asked. He smirked. "I'm not a kid anymore but yeah we met when we were 10. Sorry I was a bit of a jerk to you and your cousin all those years ago" He smirked at her. "It's okay really. Ben was kinda a jerk around that age too"

"He still is"

"Mother" Gwen bit back. Eddie smirked shaking his head. "So where's this fascinating room of yours?" He asked. Gwen pointed up stairs. "I'll go show you" Gwen hinted for him to follow. Lily smiled walking off to the next room ignoring her daughters glaring eyes.

Scene change: Ben's house

Ben stared at himself in the mirror as he adjusted his tie in the mirror. He smiled at himself wearing the tux like a master.

"Hey beautiful" Ben rehearsed his lines in the mirror before grabbing his flowers. "Gwen is going to love these" He stared at the purple roses in his hand. He walked down the street and over to her house and knocked on the door. Lily answered it. "Ben? What are you doing here?" She asked. Ben arched his eyebrow. "I'm taking Gwen out on a date" Ben answered barging through and walking up the stairs. "Ben don't go up there"

"Why not?" Ben asked before he heard a man laughing. Ben's eyes widened as he gritted his teeth. "Who's up there?" Ben stared down at Lily glaring at her. "She's with Edwin"

"Edwin, who the hell's Edwin" Ben glared.

"Eddie Grandsmith" Lily answered.

"That boy whose got a rich grandpa? and Gwen's in the room with him" Ben gritted his teeth. Lily stared at him afraid. He growled in anger marching up to her room and opening the door without knocking. He barged in to see Gwen on her bed with her knees up as Edwin sat on her computer chair. Ben relaxed a little to see him so far away from Gwen. "What's going on here?" Ben asked. Gwen stared over to him causing her to sit up. She smiled walking over to him and hugging him. Edwin stood up and walked over to Ben shaking his hand. Ben glared as he held Gwen waist as he shook Edwin's hand.

"Edwin Grandsmith" He introduced himself.

"I remember, we met when we were 10 and your grandpa built that underwater hotel that got destroyed" Ben shook his hand. Edwin forced a smile.

"So, what are you doing here?" Ben asked trying to sound nice for Gwen's sake. "Err...well I heard that Gwen's was ...um...single and I decided to see if she wanted to go out but it seems that she's already taken" Edwin stated truthfully. Ben smirked holding Gwen in close. "You got that right" Ben kissed her forehead. Gwen rolled her eyes as Ben acted jealous. "Gwen and I are engaged actually" Ben showed the ring. "Oh, how come she's not wearing it?" Edwin asked. Ben narrowed his eyes. "It's...complicated" Gwen looked away.

"Your mother?" Edwin asked. Gwen scratched the back of her neck. "Sort of"

"She told you that Gwen was single?" Ben asked. Edwin nodded. "Said that Gwen was avaliable so I took a jet over here. She's even more beautiful in person"

Gwen blushed. Ben gritted his teeth.

"Right well, Gwen why don't you go and get changed for our date tonight" Gwen sighed nodding before Gwen grabbed his arm.

"Be nice" She mumbled. Ben smirked. "Of course babe, anything you want" He kissed her lips with such passion her hands came up about to push him away but couldn't. He could hear her moaning. Ben smiled deepening the kiss. Edwin coughed trying to get their attention back. Gwen left the room and Ben turned back to him smiling brightly. "Where are you two going anyway?" Edwin asked sitting down. Ben threw the roses down on her bed before laying on it. "Gwen's choice but I booked the best restaurant in the world" Ben stated. Edwin smiled. "My grandpa's restaurant"

Ben shook his head. "Restaurant in Denmark. Noma" Ben answered.

Edwin smiled.

"Hope it goes well. I better get out the way then" Edwin sighed.

Ben saw the defeated man stand about to leave. "Wait" Ben sighed standing up and taking out Julie's number as well as her home address. "Try searching this girl up. I'm sure you two will like each other very much"

Edwin smiled. "Thank you Ben" Edwin smiled taking the piece of paper. "Yeah, well just stay away from my fiancee" Ben nudged him. He smiled nodding walking out the room before came back in with a black sparkling dress with her hair down. Ben was job smacked. "God you're beautiful" Ben stared her up and down. Gwen blushed giggling lightly. Ben hugged her kissing her. Gwen smiled taking his hands in her's. "So where do you want to go?" She asked. Gwen arched her eyebrow.

"Have you planned anything?" Gwen asked.

"I booked a restaurant in Denmark if you want to go" He asked gently smiling at her. Gwen smiled back before looking on her bed. "Are those for me?" She asked. Ben stared down at the now damaged purple roses. "Yeah," He scratched the back of his neck. "I saw them in the shop. They reminded me of you" He passed them to her.

She smiled smelling them.

"They're nice," She smiled at him. "Sorry they were out of yellow. I know those are your favourite" He mumbled. Gwen took his hand kissing him on the lips. "What times the reservation?" She asked. Ben looked down at his watch. "In about an hour so we better get on the Rustbucket if we want to get there soon" Gwen nodded following his lead.

Scene change: Restaurant

Gwen stared around at the scenery full of waiters awaiting there order. Ben had booked the whole place out just for them. No noise except the background music, no kids screaming, no drunk people crashing over there tables. Gwen had to admit, it was nice just being with each other.

"We'll take the lobster" Ben gave him the menu's before taking a sip of his wine. Gwen leaned back in her chair as the waiter left tending to the Ben 10,000's request.

"So, do you like it here?" He asked leaning forward over the table and staring into her bright green eyes. "I gotta admit this is pretty romantic even for you Ben" She admitted.

Ben shrugged but then smiled brightly at her. "Well" He picked up his glass. "My girl deserves the best" He tapped his glass on hers. Gwen took a sip of wine before the waiter came back with their food. "Did you take the other Gwen out a lot?" Gwen asked picking her fork up.

Ben's eyes widened.

He had never really done much romantic stuff with Gwen in the past. "Err...well. You tell me; you are the Gwen from my timeline?" He asked. Gwen arched her eyebrow before understanding. "I...well...this is the first time you've ever surprised me with something like this. It's nice. Usually our date nights suck. We end up going to Mr. Smoothies or the Burger Place" Gwen rolled her eyes. "Huh," Ben stared at her shocked before rubbing his chin. "That does sound like something I'd do"

Gwen narrowed her eyes at him dumbly. Ben noticed and tried to fix it immediately.

"But you are my girlfriend and now soon to be fiancee so date night is your choice of place" Ben smirked. Gwen took a bite of her food chewing on it slowly. Ben couldn't help but stare at her succulent lips wanting to crawl over the table and kiss them.

He bit his lip trying to restrain himself from grabbing her. There was no way in hell that he was going to act like his old evil self and take advantage of her. "I'm sorry about last night" Ben mumbled. Gwen looked up from him placing her knife and fork down and looking over to the bar. "It's not your fault. I guess...I don't know I always thought my first time would be special, you know, I was upset last night and I was gonna run away from home with you. I figured we would travel the universe together" Gwen sighed. "I know it sounds stupid but I couldn't let me mother stand in the way of our happiness"

Ben placed a hand on her's.

"Gwen, your ideas aren't stupid but there's just one last problem"

Gwen looked up to him.

Ben smiled at her and pulled out a plastic sleeve full of papers.

"I've already rented out an apartment for the both of us" Ben passed it to her. Gwen pulled out the notes and pamphlet and read through them.

"There's plenty of space, it's near the university and it's close to work" Ben informed her. Gwen continued to read through them before looking up to them. You sorted out all of this just in one day?" Gwen asked. Ben nodded. "We can got see it tomorrow if you'd like"

Gwen smiled brightly. "I'd love too" She read through the pamphlet looking at the pictures of the brightly lit room. It had an ocean scenery. Gwen couldn't wait to move in. She jumped a little when Ben touched her hand. "You Do like it right?" Ben asked. "Ben, it's perfect. I can't wait to move in"Gwen kissed his lips. Ben smiled wanting to hold her.

"Come on, let's finish our diner, I've got one last surprise for you tonight" Ben winked at her. Gwen smirked grabbing her knife and fork.

Scene Change: Park

Ben covered her eyes with his hands as they walked into the opening of the park. "Can I see yet?" Gwen asked as he held her closer. Ben smirked. "Not yet" He continued to keep her eyes covered as he led her towards the blanket and a bottle of wine. "Okay, open" Ben removed his hands off her. Gwen blinked a few times adjusting to the darkness. Gwen stared down at the picnic and gasped.

Ben grabbed the bottle and two glasses.

"Sit, there's more" He stated taking her hand and helping her sit on the mat. He passed Gwen a glass of wine as the two sat together. Gwen slid her legs over to the side and watched as Ben grabbed a remote.

"You ready?" He asked. Gwen arched her eyebrow. "What are you up too?" Gwen asked. Ben smiled before pointing up to the night sky as he pushed the button. In an instance, rockets took to the sky creating fireworks. Gwen stared in amazement at the scene. It was incredible. "I haven't seen fireworks in ages" She mumbled but Ben heard every word. He stared at her mesmerised eyes happy to see that she was enjoying herself. "Wow" Gwen continued to stare. Ben looked down at the remote pressing the final button. Several rockets took to the sky creating a pattern.

Gwen scanned her eyes over the words and smiled. 'Will you marry me' They stated.

"Gwen"

Gwen turned to see Ben on one knee with the ring in front of her. "Will you do me the honor of being my wife?" Ben asked holding the diamond ring close to her. Gwen too it placing it on before tackling him to the ground kissing his lips. "I take that as a yes?" Ben asked. Gwen nodded tears of joy falling from her cheeks.

Scene Change: New apartment 2 weeks later

Ben placed the seven thousandth box down in the room before slumping down on the couch. He could hear humming in the kitchen before it came closer. Ben watched as his fiancee came and sat down opposite him with two cokes in her hands. Ben wrapped an arm around her as he took one of the coke cans. Ben placed his feet on the coffee table as Gwen narrowed her eyes.

"What? I just lugged a thousand boxes up all those stairs" Ben stated. Gwen closed her eyes taking a sip of her drink. "There was an elevator you know" She stated as she looked out to the view. Ben stared at her in horror. "What? And you didn't tell me?" He stared at her angrily.

Gwen leaned her head on his chest. "I thought you would figure it out for yourself" She shrugged closing her eyes. Ben breathed out angrily as he wrapped an arm around his soon to be wife. "Besides there was like 30 boxes" She lifted herself up grabbing one and used her powers as a knife cutting the tape off. Ben stared down at her. "What are you doing?" He arched his eyebrow. "We should start unpacking. Better we do it now then tomorrow. I've got uni"

Ben rolled his eyes. "That's tomorrows problem" Ben stated grabbing her waist and chucking her over to his shoulder.

"Hey" She yelped beating his back with her palms to let her go.

"Ben, let me go" She struggled. "Let's check out the bed" Ben plopped her down on it before she sat up on her elbows instantly. "Ben Tennyson" She growled. Ben collapsed ontop of her kissing her lips knocking her out of her train of thought. She relaxed back down. Her head hitting the pillow.

"Come on Gwen, let's have some fun" He begged her brushing her arm wanting to remove her top. Gwen sighed. "Fine, but afterwards we're unpacking" She ordered. Ben smirked grabbing her collar bringing her head back down to the pillow and kissing her lips.

Ben awoke to the early morning sunlight shinning in his eyes. He looked out the window to the open view of the city as he held his fiancee in his arms as she rested her head on his chest quietly sleeping without a sound. He didn't know how but everything had worked out not just for him but for everyone...well...except Kevin.

Kevin was doomed in the Mel Void. Ben bare chest heaved as his rustled hair blew in the wind slightly. He looked down at her brushing her hair soothingly. She moaned waking up.

"Can you make some coffee?" She asked. Ben stared down at her small hand on his chest seeing the ring shine in the light. It was the perfect fit for her and looked so beautiful in the light. He never wanted to see that ring removed from her again. Ben kissed her forehead soothing her wake. "Sure Gwen, go back to sleep. I'll grab the coffee" He whispered lazing his head back down to the pillow as she continued to sleep. Ben looked out to the window seeing the sun fully rise. He knew what came with a brand new day meant a brand new start.
