Alright it is now time for the sequel! Now I can go deeper into Kevin and Gwen's relationship without it being too weird. Okay so the ages in the story are going to be Ben and Gwen have just turned 14 while Kevin will be 14 and going to be turning 15, and yes I know Ben and Gwen weren't born in May but please don't criticize me I just did it so that it would work out properly for my story. This is probably going to be different than my last story that had chapters leading into a story. I think I want to have the chapters be more different and revolve around Kevin and Gwen together in different situations, kind of like the on-going franchise but I'm not sure yet I'll just have to see what happens. But I know for a fact the first few chapters will be closely related.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BEN TEN!
The morning sun began to rise changing the once dark sky to a brilliant mix of a light blue and pink, the sun's light crept its way into a window that belonged to Gwen Tennyson
The light stretched across her dark room till it began to cascade onto her sleeping face, she began to stir at the disturbance as she pulled her blanket over her head, but luxury lasted only a moment longer
"Gwen honey it's time to wake up, it's time for school!" Gwen heard her mother shout from downstairs
Gwen groaned as she threw back her covers and sat up from her bed, where she began to rub her eyes
She yawned as she began to get up from her bed as she made her way towards her own bathroom
Realizing she forgot to grab a pair of clothes she groaned, too lazy to leave the bathroom Gwen concentrated on her powers as her eyes began to glow pink as she summoned her school outfit from her drawer that made its way to the bathroom
Just as Kevin vowed to come back stronger, she vowed to herself that she would become stronger too
And over the three and a half years that he and her Grandpa had been gone Gwen had focused any free time that she had to training
She had ended up awakening new powers after about a year Kevin had left, she was now able to control items with just her mind, she didn't need to utter any magical incantation when she could project walls at will and send small pink disks from her hand
But even though she didn't need to utter magical incantations didn't mean that she didn't read magical books filled with spells and potions, nor did her curiosity of magic dwindle, it only grew
Gwen made her way out of the bathroom and looked at the calendar that hung above her desk that sat against her wall
She sighed as she did everyday as she crossed off another day passed with a red marker; it was nearing the end of her 8th grade year, next year she would be starting high school, though she was excited by the thought she was still nervous
It had been one month since she had turned 14 along with her cousin Ben, who both attended the same school along with a May birthday
After this last week of school and after the summer Gwen would be going off to Prep School to further her higher intellect
Gwen continued to stare at the calendar "I can't believe it's been almost four years" she whispered to herself
So much had changed in the last three years, she had grown taller along with her hair that was now at shoulder length, and she wore a blue headband to hold her hair back, away from her face
She had grown into a young lady, just like her Grandpa had said would happen in the time they would be gone
Since the day they had left she had marked each day on her calendar, Max had never specified when they would return, but Gwen had a feeling that it would be soon
She then looked down at her cluttered desk where many letters laid in silence, it was hard to write to Kevin since he could be a galaxy away, but they had managed to work things out between their exchanges
They decided to write to each other once a month, sometimes more if there was a holiday or birthday that month, every year since he had left, for her birthday Kevin would always send her a beautiful pressed flower from a distant planet, she kept each one in her journal where she would gaze at them for hours
Their letters were sometimes short and sweet, while other times they would almost be a novel, but no matter the length they were just happy to hear from one another
Her eyes then flickered to an item that always remained on her desk so that it would help her when she was writing a letter to him, his bike chain necklace
She laughed at their sorry gift exchange, but she was just happy to have something to remember him by, for she remembered their promise to exchange each other's items once he had returned
After staring at items around her room for what seemed like an hour she broke away from her trance and made her way downstairs and out the door heading to school
The last week of school went by just as any other school day would, absolutely boring, so when the last bell rang through the halls, kids burst out of their classrooms with joy screaming that it was finally summer vacation
Gwen made her way out of the school unscathed from the mob of kids that had just flooded past her
She smiled at the warm air as she made her way down the school steps; about to turn onto the sidewalk to walk home a voice stopped her
"Gwen!" the male voice shouted behind her
Gwen stopped in her tracks as she turned towards the familiar voice that was running towards her, she smiled as she realized it was her cousin Ben
The now young man stopped in front of her as he bent over panting, once he caught his breathe he stood up, to Gwen's surprise over the years Ben began to tower over her, now a good inch above her eye level
His body was leaner, while his hair was still straggly in the back his voice had deepened "Man, I've been looking all over for you" he started
Gwen raised an eyebrow at him "I meant to tell you that you and your parents are supposed to come over for dinner tonight, apparently our parents have a surprise for us" Ben said excitedly
She returned the smile "Really, like what?" she questioned
Ben shrugged "I'm not sure, but it sounds pretty cool, I'll see you later I promised mom I would be home to help her get set up, see ya later!" shouted Ben as he headed off in the opposite direction
Gwen was happy by the news of an upcoming surprise; she wondered as to what it could be as she made her way home
Once she reached the front door of her home she opened it up and shouted "I'm home!" to her mother who she knew was probably in the kitchen
Gwen's mom popped her head from around the corner "Hello honey, how was the last day of school?" she questioned
Gwen walked into the kitchen and shrugged "Just like every other last day, but before I forget Ben told me after school we're going over to his house for dinner?"
Gwen's mom turned to face her "I totally forgot to tell you but yes we are, we've got a little surprise for you and Ben" she smiled
"That's what Ben said" Gwen remarked
"Yep, so if you want to go get ready you can and once your father gets home we'll head over"
Gwen smiled as she made her upstairs excited for what this dinner could bring
At 5'oclock Gwen's father returned home, and shortly after Gwen and her family left to go to Ben's home
Once they arrived at Ben's home they were eagerly welcomed in where they started their dinner which involved casual small talk
Dinner was finished and Ben jumped in quickly "So what's our surprise?" he asked anxiously
Gwen's father Frank turned to look at his brother Carl who both shared a smile "It will be awhile Ben be patient" his father chuckled as Ben sat back in his seat
After about another hour they all had finished their dessert and were just sitting around talking when suddenly the door bell rang
Carl smiled as he stood up "I'll get it" he said making his way towards the door
Gwen and Ben took a small glance at each other as Carl made his way back into the kitchen as a familiar stranger followed
"Hey kids" the old voice spoke
"Grandpa!" Ben and Gwen shouted as they pushed their chairs out from behind them and ran towards the elderly man in which they enveloped in a hug
Max began to chuckle "Ah kids, it's good to see you again!" he smiled down at them as they were released from their hug
"I can't believe your back grandpa" Gwen remarked
"I know, being gone for almost four years is a long time to be gone" he said as he looked Ben and Gwen over
"Look how much you two have grown, Ben you're practically a man now" Max remarked as he patted Ben on the shoulder
Ben stood up straighter as he puffed out his chest and smiled
Max then turned to Gwen "And you have turned into a beautiful young lady" he grinned
Gwen began to blush "Thanks Grandpa and you don't look too bad yourself; it looks like you've lost some weight"
He chuckled as he began to pat his now smaller stomach "Well all that training paid off"
"Dad, why don't you join us and tell us about your latest adventure?" Frank questioned from the table
Max smiled at his son "Sure thing sounds good" he said as he sat down at the table Gwen and Ben following suit as Max began to relay his story
As they all became immersed into the story a thought dawned on Gwen and she became angered with herself as she couldn't believe she forgot about him
"Grandpa where's-" Gwen began to ask when there was a knock on the door
Max smiled over to Gwen "Why don't you go answer the door Gwen" he said
Gwen raised an eyebrow in confusion but obliged as she rose from her seat and went to the front door
She grasped the brass door knob and pulled open the door "Hello?" she began to ask as a dark figure stood out in the dark night
Seeing the tall figure Gwen took in a quick breathe becoming slightly afraid she was about to call for help when the figure began to laugh
"That's no way to greet an old friend" the deep voice chuckled
Gwen squint her eyes at the dark figure that began to approach her; she took a few steps back so that the figure could enter the light
And as soon as the figure entered the light Gwen's mouth dropped open in surprise, the man was tall and had pale white skin, long ebony hair and onyx eyes
Gwen's eyes began to fill with tears "K-K-Kevin" she choked out
He was beaming at her, "Gwen" he whispered holding out his arms
Gwen smiled as she charged at him throwing her arms around his neck "Kevin!" she cried as he held onto him for dear life
Kevin picked her up and spun her around, Gwen squealed in excitement "I can't believe you're back" Gwen mumbled into his shoulder
She felt his laughter rumble through his chest as he ran his hands through her red hair "You have no idea how good it feels to hold you again" he sighed
Gwen smiled as she pulled away from him to look into his face, they were both blushing slightly Gwen still kept her hands on his chest
She began to feel his muscular chest beneath his black shirt "Kevin, you've been working out" she remarked
Kevin blushed at her remark "Well three years of training will do that to you" he smiled as he ran his eyes over her
"I'm not the only one who's grown, I mean look at you you're only a head shorter than me" he started
"And you're hair" he remarked but Gwen pulled away frowning "You don't like it" she said disappointedly
Kevin only shook his head as he brought his hand up to run it through her amber locks "I love it, you look better with it long" he complimented
Gwen looked up to him with bright eyes "Really?" she questioned
"Of course" he whispered back as he brought her back into another tight hug
They would have stayed that way for awhile had it not have been for someone clearing their voice behind them
They broke apart looking at Gwen's entire family staring at them; both of them took a step away from each other as they both began to blush furiously
"Ah, Kevin good you made" said Max breaking his way through the crowd
Kevin nodded "Of course, I couldn't wait to see everyone again"
Max smiled as Ben pushed his through as he walked over to Kevin as he stood in front of him
"Good to see you back Kevin" he grinned holding out his hand
Kevin chuckled as he grasped Ben's hand and began to shake it "I know it's great to be back"
They dropped each other's hands while Ben began to size him up, he sighed "Darn, I had hoped that I would be taller by you" he said disappointedly
Kevin began to laugh as he grabbed Ben into an arm lock "Heh, Ben you'll never get taller than me" he joked
Ben tried to break free as he was released from Kevin's grip, he began to massage his neck "Yeah, you haven't changed a bit Kevin" Ben remarked
Finally Frank approached Kevin who began to look him over Gwen quickly came to stand next to Kevin as she gripped his arm
"So you're the infamous Kevin, we've heard so much about"
Kevin nodded "Uh yeah, the one and only" he smiled
Frank continued to look him over "Well, you seem like an okay guy for Gwen to hang around" he mused
"Daddy!" Gwen hissed
Frank put his arms up in defense "Sorry honey, but I'm your dad, I'm supposed to be protective"
Gwen rolled her eyes as she grabbed onto Kevin's arm, he turned his head towards her
"You hungry?" she questioned
Kevin shook his head "No I'm good, I just ate, and actually I've got to get going" he said sadly
Gwen frowned "Already but you just got here" she defended
Kevin sighed "I know but, I've got to move some of my stuff into my mom's new house"
Gwen raised an eyebrow "Your mom?"
"Yeah, I just came from there actually, we've been talking all day and stuff and she saw how much I've changed and well…she said I can move back in"
Gwen beamed "That's great Kevin!" she remarked
"Yeah I'm glad to be going back home, I really did miss her" Kevin finished as he turned to look at Gwen smiling
Max cleared his throat "Well we'll let you two say your goodbyes" he said as he began to usher the rest of his family back into the kitchen
Still holding onto his arm Gwen pulled Kevin outside where she turned on the outside light
"It's so good to know that your back" Gwen smiled sheepishly
Kevin beamed "You have no idea how good it is to be back on Earth, to see everything and my mom and well…you" he whispered
Gwen blushed as she looked up into Kevin's eyes "You've changed so much" she whispered as she cupped his face
Kevin snorted as he placed his arms around her waist "You have too" he remarked
He sighed as he looked into her emerald eyes "Gwen, I was wondering, how would you like to spend all day together tomorrow and catch up?" he suggested hopefully
Gwen beamed "Of course Kevin, that sounds wonderful"
He nodded at her reply "Okay I'll pick you up around 10?" he suggested
She pulled him into a tight hug "Sounds good to me" she spoke into his ear
They continued to hug for awhile taking in each other's presence, until they finally pulled away
Kevin sighed "Till tomorrow" he smiled
Gwen nodded "Tomorrow it is" she whispered as she cupped his face and stood on her tip-toes to give him a kiss on the cheek
He began to flush as he turned away smiling as he turned to walk down the dark side walk
Gwen sighed as she leaned against the door watching Kevin's figure disappear into the night
