''Mom...dad.'' The two twin cousins began, as their fingers intertwined. They had called their parents together to inform them of an important issue. They were both nervous, expecting the worse and they knew the backlash would be greater if they hid it. ''We're dating,'' they admitted and waited for the evident tongue lashing, but it didn't come.
Instead their parents were wonderfully surprised. Ken Tennyson, Gwen's older brother, bellowed, "Finally!" as Grandpa Max stated chuckling. "Since when, dear?" Gwen's mother, Lily Tennyson asked, hugging her daughter. It was evident where Gwen got her looks from. Same eye color, same hair; it was obvious that Lily was an older Gwen or Gwen a younger Lily.
"Since this afternoon, Mum. A...aren't you guys mad?" she replied, wracked with confusion.
''To be honest we sort of expected this thing for quite a while.'' Lily answered as she pat her daughter's hand.
''This has to do with your anodite heritage.'' now this drew in both Gwen and Ben's attention. They weren't told much about their grandmother as their grandpa would always change the subject and even when Verdona finally did show up she hardly stayed long enough for them to get to know her.
''Your grandmother, Verdona, as you know is a free-spirited woman told me all about it. As you recalled when the spark Verdona called it didn't awaken it was one of the reasons to contribute to why things didn't work out.''
''And when it did that must have signified why my Mana went from blue to pink?'' Gwen wondered a loud as she looked at her hands. She always wondered what the hell was up with that random change in color.
''Yes, your body was also developing and to prepare you with something called Attuning. Attuning is something that many alien races go through that draw them to their other half. The magic inside of them pulses out and reads the aura of other people to see who could emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically feel the needs of that particular being.'' both teens couldn't help but blush at that last part. ''Your grandmother informed me that Anodites don't care for a lot of traditional roles and perceived relationships we humans do so it was something we had to come to terms. We would have told you sooner, but we weren't sure how you would handle the news.''
''I don't feel any different, but that at least answer a few questions I always wondered. I mean I'm still me and I can understand why you guys might have thought we would have had problems with this.'' Ben said as he gave Gwen's hand a squeeze.
''I agree with Ben; I'm glad you guys told us. Are you really okay with Ben and I dating each other?''
Lily smiled at her.'' Of course.
"Honey, as long as you're happy, we're happy. Besides, it's better that you're dating your wonderful cousin instead of those other boys in school." Frank Tennyson, Gwen's father spoke up.
"True. I for one think Gwen is the best choice if compared to those fan girls who keep harassing Ben all the time. Don't you agree, dear?" Sandra Tennyson, Ben's mother said, hugging Ben's father, Carl Tennyson. "I agree. So Frank, are you gonna have a man-to-man talk with Ben later?" Carl asked with a grin so silly it resembles Ben's. Ben looked at his father in horror, then at Uncle Frank, then Gwen, who shrugged nervously. Then Frank laughed.
"We've know Ben since he was born. I think he knows how to behave around our Gwen. Isn't that right, son?" he asked. Ben nodded. "And you, Grandpa?" Ben asked nervously. Everyone kept silent as Grandpa Max wanted to answer.
"I don't see any problems whatsoever that my two grand kids want to be a couple. Now come here and give your Grandpa a hug, you two," he said with that same old smile on his face. Ben and Gwen happily ran up to their grandfather and gave him a bear hug.
"Don't I get a say in this?" Ken asked, scandalized. "Your opinion doesn't count," Gwen said slyly as they let go of Grandpa Max, everyone else laughing. Ken stuck his tongue back at Gwen as a retort. It seemed that everything was fine as far as the family was concerned. But the true trial-by-fire lies in explaining things to their 'partner', Kevin. And he was never a good listener.
Ben and Gwen were both approaching the small house Kevin lives just a few miles from both the Tennyson cousin's respective houses. (Guess who's his house is closest to?) They were walking hand-in-hand all the way, but when they reached his front yard, they both instinctively let go. They nodded to each other, taking in deep breaths, and then proceeding forward.
Kevin's house was more of a garage with 3 rooms attached to it: A living room and kitchen which is in a mess, his bedroom where Ben distinctively remembered seeing a pair of boxers hung up on the ceiling fan, and a bathroom that was surprisingly –and ironically- the cleanest room in the entire house. Both Ben and Gwen could hear the sound of gears wrenching and loud rock music blaring form the open garage door. "Wanna bet he's tuning his car?" Ben asked casually. Gwen gave him a look and said "It's like betting if the sea has salt in it."
They saw Kevin's gleaming green car before anything else when they stepped into the garage. But no Kevin. Then they noticed what seemed to be two feet sticking from underneath the car, tapping to the music's deafening beats. Then they heard someone from underneath the car singing along to the loud trashy music, badly. Yup, it was Kevin. Gwen tried her best not to giggle, but Ben –well, being Ben- laughed out loud. That caused Kevin to stop singing, and slid out of the car's undercarriage. "Ben, is that you?" he asked, wiping his face with a cloth that was in his pocket.
Kevin stopped calling Ben as 'Tennyson' after Gwen told him off one day, saying that Gwen too was a Tennyson, so he was being rude to her as well every time he said that. He did stop, but mostly not because it had anything to do with Ben. "Yeah, hi Kevin. What's up?" Ben replied courteously.
"Hey Kevin," Gwen said. Kevin shrugged and said, "Hey. Was just tuning her up a notch. Make yourselves at home," Kevin replied casually, pointing to the red, puffy sofa that was at one corner of the room. Both Tennysons sat down rather gingerly on it, fearing it would swallow them whole due to its sheer soft-ness.
"Here," Kevin said, tossing each of them a can of soda. He has become less anti-social and rude after spending more time with Ben and Gwen. He also became more acceptable and respective of others, even Ben. "Thanks," both cousins replied. "So," Kevin asked, sitting on an old easy chair near the sofa. "What brings you both here? I mean, I wouldn't mind if it was just you, Gwen. That'd be a pleasant surprise." Kevin said, laughing. Both Ben and Gwen laughed back nervously, looking at each other. Gwen nodded.
"Umm…Kevin?" Gwen asked, looking at him. "Huh?" Kevin replied, taking a sip from his soda. "I-I mean, we, have something to tell you," Gwen said after Ben gave her a reproachful look. Kevin sat straight up, looking serious. It was as if he was play-backing any possible bad scenario that could have occurred. "What is it?" he asked.
"Listen, Kevin, I know that we function well as a team, and that I don't want any bad blood between us and all that and stuff-" Ben began, but Gwen put a hand of his mouth to silence him.
"What Ben is trying to say is that things are going to be a little more different from now on, Kevin," Gwen reasoned. Kevin thought for awhile and asked. "So…what, you both turned 16 and can drive your own cars now?" Both Ben and Gwen looked at each other again and shook their heads. "Listen, Kevin-"
"Wait! You both got rid of all those DNAliens without me and now we don't have to kick alien butt from now on?" Kevin offered hopefully. Gwen sighed. "It's not that either. Listen, Kevin. Ben and I aren't just cousins anymore." Both of them hoped Kevin understood the meaning to that. "What, are you both really 2nd cousins twice-removed or something?" Both Tennysons sighed. "No. Kevin, I know how you feel about me, but you have to understand. Ben and I…" Gwen began, but couldn't finish the sentence. "Kevin, we're dating," Ben declared softly. It didn't take long for Kevin to digest that information.
"What?" was all Kevin could say. He looked like he had been sucker-punched. "I'm sorry, Kevin," Gwen said, looking guilty. Ben was giving a look that said he was sorry too. They both were now holding hands nervously, still waiting to see Kevin's reaction. He just sighed, finished his soda and went to his mini fridge in the garage. Kevin opened a new can of what Ben and Gwen knew was beer, the same type Gwen's parents had in their fridge. "Kevin?" Ben asked, looking quite worried. "You're not mad, are you?" Gwen prodded subtly.
Kevin sighed. Then he took one sip of the beer before answering. "No. Not really. I'm not that surprised, actually. You were both so protective of each other back then when I was the bad guy, and you both still are, I guess." Both cousins sighed in relief as Kevin took another sip. "So…are you accepting me and Gwen being a couple?" Ben asked. Now that was a volatile question waiting to be answered by an even more volatile guy.
"I just thought I had a chance with someone like Gwen. Guess I don't, after all," Kevin replied. He then looked at both cousins, then remembered what Ben had asked. "I'm fine with it, I guess. It's not as if I could stop you guys from being a couple now anyway," he said, shrugging. Ben and Gen looked at each other worriedly. Kevin has never been so submissive. Something was wrong.
"Kevin, is there something you want to tell us?" Gwen asked, leaning forward to put a comforting hand on Kevin's knee.
Kevin finished the beer in another gulp and coughed. "Tch. Never really liked this stuff. I should just stick to Pepsi," Kevin said, tossing the can into a bin labeled 'Recycled Tins'.
"You recycle?" Ben asked.
"Yeah. Thought I'd do something beneficial to society, you know, besides kicking the butts of the aliens who want to wipe out the human race," Kevin replied with a half-hearted grin. "Kevin?" Gwen pressed on.
"Ok, ok. I'll be honest," Kevin said, raising his hands mid-length. Gwen sat back down next to Ben. Part of the few reason I stayed on with you guys to fight the DNAliens was because I thought I could be closer to Gwen. Now that that's impossible, I barely have any reason to go on," he said, breathing in deep.
"Don't be silly, Kevin! You have many reasons to remain with us! So what if Ben and I are now a couple? We're all still best friends, and partners!" Gwen said.
"You don't get it," Kevin said, burying his face in his hands.
"When we were in one of those Highbreed command ships, I came across a device which uses a type of rare crystal that could see into the future if there's enough of it. There wasn't."
"So I absorbed it and made the machine work, as it was useless before. I saw my future. I grow up to be a super-villain called Kevin 11,000. I thought if I continued to hang out with you, Gwen, I'd change my future. You'd help me remain a good guy. A hero." He looked at Ben and Gwen, as if expecting them to look back at him with disgust.
They didn't. Instead, Gwen got up, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Kevin, the future can change. It's never set in stone. You yourself said you wanted to change it, right? Well, both of us will help you remain good, right, Ben?" Both Gwen and Kevin looked at Ben, who was still in his seat. He got up and walked to Kevin. The he smiled. "Sure. I never leave my friends behind. Especially an irreplaceable friend like you, Kevin." He offered his right arm to Kevin. Kevin looked at Ben and Gwen, and then smiled coolly, accepting Ben's hand.
"Alright. I'll stay. We're still the Three Amigos, right?" he asked with a toothy grin. Ben returned that grin with one of his own as they did a man's handshake. As he got up, Gwen pulled both of them into a group hug, tears in her eyes.
"You're both silly idiots," she said between sobs. Both Ben and Kevin laughed as they hugged Gwen and each other. "So…Ben," Kevin asked as the hug broke apart a few seconds later. Both Ben and Gwen looked up at Kevin with a curious look. He was smiling smugly. "That Japanese girl in your class-Julie, was it? I got a question…Is she single?" Gwen slapped him on the shoulder.
"Boy, you bounce back fast," she said as Ben laughed.
Both Tennysons were relieved that Kevin took the fact that Ben and Gwen were dating very well. Now they had no obstruction within their relationship. No one significant enough opposed to it –in fact, no one opposed at all. Not their parents, not Grandpa Max, not even Kevin. Now the only obstacles these 3 teenagers –oh-so-affectionately dubbed as The Three Amigos by Kevin- had to face were the DNAliens. And the fact that Kevin too needed to go back to attending regular high school just like Ben and Gwen. Kevin paused. "Hold up. What was that last part again?"couldn't help but smile.
