Ohhhhhh wow! It's been a long time hasn't it? I'm sorry I left everyone hanging but it's been way too hectic for my liking. All I did over the summer was work and I just started college where I'm busily writing about 2 papers a week and I've just been way too busy to even think about this story. But thank you all for the wonderful reviews, because even though I'm not typing I still love reading other stories on this website. I do know that my updates will be less than ever just because I don't have the time, and I haven't had any amazing ideas because the first season of Ben Ten: Ultimate Alien ended and now I'm waiting on the second season to start which is tomorrow! So hopefully some new ideas will arise! Thanks again for reading and sticking with my story, so here you go!
Chapter 2
Gwen awoke the next morning with a smile on her face, she looked over to her nightstand where her clock glowed 8:00
"Perfect" she whispered to herself as she threw off her sheets and went to her bathroom to take a shower
Once she was out of the shower, Gwen dressed and headed downstairs where she met her mother in the kitchen
"Hey mom" Gwen greeted
"Hey Gwenny, you're up early" her mother Lili noticed
Gwen smiled as she grabbed a box of cereal and poured a generous amount into a bowl "I'm hanging out with Kevin today" she remarked
Her mom grinned at her "Oh, the mysterious man" she teased
Gwen blushed "Mom he's just a really good friend that I haven't seen in awhile, and we're going to catch up" she retorted
Lili nodded as she raised an eyebrow "Sure you are sweetie"
"Mom, please" Gwen begged
Her mother only laughed "its okay Gwen, I remember what it feels like to have a crush"
Gwen's face went red "I don't have a crush on Kevin!" she defended
Lili grabbed her coffee and sat across from Gwen "Are you sure?" she continued
Gwen sighed "Yes mom…I'm sure" she said as she began to stir her cereal
Her mother only shook her head "Because I mean it's normal for a girl your age to like someone as handsome as Kevin"
Gwen sighed in defeat "Okay mom…I kind of like him" she whispered
Lili smiled at her daughter "That's good; because I think he likes you too"
Gwen raised her head from her cereal to stare at her mother "You do?"
"Yes, just the way he looks at you, and the way you act around each other, trust me a mother can see it just from a short meeting"
Gwen rolled her eyes "Okay mom"
"I'm serious Gwen" Lili stated as she got up from her chair "Just pay close attention to his actions and you'll see" she finished as she left the kitchen
Gwen watched her mom as she left the kitchen as she replayed her words over and over again in her head
She was interrupted by her thoughts as the door bell rang, Gwen looked at the clock and read 10:00, and she smiled as she ran to the door
Once she got to the door she quickly opened it to reveal a grinning Kevin "Hey" he said
Gwen smiled "Hi" she whispered as she let him in closing the door as he entered
He looked around for a second "Nice house"
Gwen giggled "Thanks, it's nothing too extravagant"
He nodded as he smiled at her "So you ready to-" he started but was interrupted by a voice
"Hello there, you must be Kevin" Lili said as she approached the two
"Mom" Gwen hissed
But Lili only continued forward as she placed a hand on Gwen's shoulder "Don't worry Gwenny, I just want to meet your little friend here" she stated as she walked up to Kevin holding out her hand
"Hi, nice to meet you I'm Gwen's mother Lili"
Kevin nodded as he gripped her hand and shook it "Nice to meet you Mrs. Tennyson" he greeted
Lili shook her head "Call me Lili, Mrs. Tennyson sounds too weird coming from Gwen's boyfr-"
"MOM!" Gwen shouted stopping her mom from uttering the next word
Her mom only continued to grin at her as Gwen grabbed Kevin's arm "We were just leaving so"
"Oh, okay Gwenny, have a good day" she said as she left the living room
Gwen let out a breathe of relief "Come on Kevin let's go" she said as she dragged him out the door
Once they were outside Kevin began to snicker, Gwen raised an eyebrow at him "What's so funny?" she questioned
"Hehe, Gwenny" he continued to laugh
Gwen glared after him as she hit him in the arm "Not funny Kevin, that's been my nickname for her since I was little" she defended
"Whatever you sat…Gwenny" Kevin teased
Gwen rolled her eyes as the two continued to walk down the sidewalk heading into town
They walked in a comfortable silence as they made their way into town, only talking every now and then
"So, what are your big plans for today?" Gwen questioned
Kevin gave a half smile "You'll see, come on" he said as he pulled her off of the sidewalk and towards a nearby playground
"A playground?" she questioned skeptically
Kevin nodded as he approached a swing set and sat down on the nearest seat, when Gwen didn't follow he gestured for her to sit next to her
"I thought the playground would be a nice place to talk, especially the swings, it's a lot better to be doing something and talking, rather than just sitting a talking" he explained
Gwen nodded in agreement as she sat down next to him as she began to move back and forth
"So how was your trip around the galaxy?" Gwen started off
"It was amazing" Kevin stated as he looked up to the deep blue sky
"What did you guys do?"
"A lot actually, but before I could really start into training we needed to visit the planet Osmos V"
"Osmos V?" questioned Gwen
"Yeah it's the planet where Osmosians reign from, its where my dad was born" he whispered as he stopped his swing and looked down at the dirt
Gwen nodded waiting for Kevin to continue
"Once we arrived there your grandpa showed me around, apparently he had been there multiple times before on plumbers business" he stated
"He brought me to this place where he said my dad had trained, and that's where I met Kwarrel, he had just gotten out of jail on some stupid crime that he never committed, and just like that we began to train"
"What did he teach you?" Gwen asked as she began to swing slower
Kevin laughed "So much" he stated
"He was a great guy, he was like… a father to me" Kevin said in awe as he looked over at Gwen
"He taught me how to control my powers, and he even taught me how to release power so that if I accidently absorbed too much energy, or unwillingly did so, I could repel the unwanted energy"
Gwen smiled at Kevin "That's so great that you don't have to worry about that anymore"
Kevin chuckled "Oh, I still have to worry, I can only do it up to a certain amount of energy, but now if it does happen, I won't go insane, Kwarrel said it would take me a few years to master being able to repel a large amount of energy"
"That's still really great Kevin, you should be proud of yourself" Gwen whispered as she placed a hand on his shoulder
Kevin stared into her eyes "Yeah it was pretty great, and I learned a lot, but it was kind of lonely out there, the best part was receiving your letters"
Gwen's eyes lit up at this "Really?"
"Definitely, I loved hearing about everything on earth, and especially how you were doing"
Gwen got up from her swing and stood in front of Kevin who looked up at her confused
She held out her hands as Kevin stared at them, he placed his on top of hers as she lifted him up and slowly brought him into a hug in which he eagerly returned
"I loved hearing about your trip too, but this just feels so much better" she whispered into his chest
Kevin smiled into her hair "Everything's better when you're near someone you care about"
Gwen pulled away from the hug and stared brilliantly up into Kevin's eyes, "You think I'm special?"
Kevin began to blush at his own words "Of course you are I couldn't stop thinking about you while I was away"
Gwen began to turn red as well as Kevin grabbed her hand and began to pull her away "Come on, let's go get some lunch"
Gwen only nodded as she followed Kevin to a nearby restaurant
At the restaurant Kevin and Gwen spent their time laughing about the summer they had spent together years prior along with telling each other stories of what happened to them when the other was gone
When they left the restaurant the sun began to set in the distance
"Wow we spent a lot of time in their" remarked Gwen
Kevin looked at the setting sun and gave a half smile "Well we had a lot to talk about, I mean it's been four years"
Gwen smiled in return as Kevin grabbed her hand from the side and began to lead her away from the city
Gwen leaned into his body "So, what's the last part to this day?" she questioned
Kevin smiled into the distance as he winked at her "One last surprise" he said
Gwen groaned in frustration with his day of surprises
After about 15 minutes Kevin pulled Gwen up a hill where there were no humans in sight just a few trees swaying to the soft breeze
Kevin let go of Gwen's hand and approached one of the trees where he pulled out a large back pack
Gwen gave him a questioning look as he began to pull items out of the backpack, the first being a blanket in which he lied out across the soft green grass
Kevin then pulled out two pillows and tossed them onto the blanket as well, he placed the now empty backpack onto the ground and sat down on the blanket
He looked over to Gwen and gave a small smile "What, not going to join?"
Gwen rolled her eyes and sat down tenderly next to Kevin
They sat in silence for a few minutes as they watched the sun set in the distance as the sky turned from a light blue to a brilliant red
"It's beautiful" Gwen whispered
Kevin looked over at Gwen as he watched her admire the sunset "Yeah it is"
Gwen turned her head and saw Kevin looking at her; she watched as his eyes flicked from her eyes to her mouth and then back up to her eyes, he began to lean in
But Gwen stopped him with a light hand over his mouth "Kevin" she whispered as he looked at her sadly
"I'm sorry Kevin, but you just got back and I really do care about you, but it's been almost four years, I need to learn about you again before anything can happen" she said apologetically
Kevin sighed but nodded his head "You're right I'm sorry, it's just that, when we first met when we were younger…I knew we had a special connection"
Gwen stared into his eyes and smiled gently as she cupped his face "I felt it to Kevin, and I always hoped that some day we would get closer to each other, but I didn't realized you were going to be gone as long as you were"
He gave a small chuckle "I know, there were some day's where I wished we could of come back, just so I could see you" he confessed
She closed her eyes as she listened to his words "I know that I want to be with you Kevin, but just not yet" she opened her eyes
Kevin placed his forehead onto hers as they both grinned "I think you're right, let's take it slow, and get to re-learn each other"
Gwen laughed at his suggestion "Okay it's a deal"
Kevin nodded as he pulled away, when suddenly he stuck out his hand "Hey, I'm Kevin Levin"
Gwen began to laugh as she took his hand "I'm Gwen Tennyson" she returned
They both laughed at their little scene as they turned back to the now night sky, they laid back down as they watched small stars begin to appear in the dark sky
Gwen scooted closer to Kevin as she rested her head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close
Very tenderly he placed a kiss on top of her head as Gwen sighed into his shoulder
After watching the sky fill with stars and moments of peace Kevin and Gwen decided it was time to head home
Kevin walked Gwen to her doorway as they followed the streetlights home
"Kevin I loved spending time with you today" Gwen smiled into his eyes
Kevin chuckled "I had a great time to, it was nice to catch up" he whispered
"Hey, why don't you stop by the Bellwood garage tomorrow?" Kevin suggested
Gwen gave a confused look "What for?" she questioned
"I've really gotten into alien tech and other stuff, but I've been working on something special, it would be cool if you could stop by and see it"
Gwen thought it over and smiled "Sounds good, I'll be by" she said as she placed a small kiss on his cheeks
She looked at his face which was shinning with excitement "I love it when you do that" he admitted
Gwen laughed as she gave him another kiss on his cheek "That's good to know" she whispered as she headed inside
Kevin watched her go inside as he gave a small sigh, as he turned towards the sidewalk and headed home
