" And that brings us to the end of the campus tour, hope you liked it. Registration forms are at the administration office for those interesting in applying to the Galvan Academy of Intergalactic Sciences. Hope to see you at the spring semester" the tiny little voices echoed cheerfully in harmony from all 5 mouths of the blue campus tour guide.

The group thanked her and then dispersed into various directions, with our dark haired osmosian being dragged away by his girl towards the main building.

"Woah G slow down, where's the fire?"

Gwen rolled her eyes, " the sooner we fill that form , the better the impression it leaves. The better the impression, the more likely you get in" she said as she almost sprinted towards the 50 foot giant metallic doors.

Kevin smirked. Leave it to his girl to get excited over school, though deep down he had to admit, he was a little excited too.

This wasn't just any school , it was THE Galvan Academy. Founded by Azmuth's grandparent's, this was one of the most prestigious universities in the milky way. Anyone who was anyone went here , in fact it was an honor to even be allowed on to the campus itself.

When he first received the letter at his garage a few days ago he automatically tossed it on to the plastic chair, assuming it was another one of Ben's fanmail.

It was Gwen who brought it to his attention when she came over later that evening that it was addressed to him from the academy

" TGA huh? So Ben's getting honorary doctorate or something?"

" This isn't for Ben , it's for you"

Kevin was slightly taken aback, his initial thoughts racing to recall if he'd ever stolen or committed some crime regarding the institution. Nothing came to mind. So if he wasn't in trouble , why would they have sent him a letter?

" it says Azmuth has recommended your name to join from the Spring semester and they'd love to have you visit the campus to consider an official admission. " she almost shrieked as his eyes widened.

Him? Why him?

He's not the super famous hero, Ben is. He's not the super book smart academic , Gwen is.

Why would anyone recommend him?

" are you sure it is isn't for one of you guys? "

" it literally says congratulations dear Kevin Ethan Levin on having been chosen as an honorary recruit to the spring semester. It can't get any clearer than that. Now get up, we need to pack ASAP if want to make it to Galvaria by Tuesday. Oooh and we'll need to get some formals for you"

Kevin was dumbfounded at the thought of it all. So dumbfounded that he didn't even complain when Gwen made him buy sweater vests and khakhis.

Upon reaching the foot of the wide stairs he pulled, resulting in gwen smacking into his chest due to the abrupt halt.

" G what makes you think I even want to go here?"

Gwen raised her eyebrows at him.

" wha...what? Do you even know where we are right now? babe this is where the weapon master's come to learn. This...this is all we've talked about for past 3 days!"

He shook his head. " No this is all you've talked about for the past 3 days. I haven't said anything"

She looked at him in disbelief. That can't be true. However now that she thought about it, she realized she truly was the only one of them who'd actually shown any enthusiasm, the one of them who'd been dragging them through every nook and cranny of the institution openly gawking at all the machinery and facilities.

Kevin for the most part simply walked beside her giving the occasional woah whenever some high level tech was mentioned.

"come on" She grabbed his hand and began pulling him again, this time away from the building and towards the giant fountain of Azmuth spewing water out of his head.

He quietly followed her as they sat on the cool granite in front of the statue.

" babe " she sighed " I'm sorry, I should've known something was up when you agreed to buy those dress shoes. I just ... I don't know. This is a huge deal and I'm sorry I got carried away"

Kevin stared at the all the aliens buzzing around the courtyard, some rushing with piles of books to their next class and some showing off their end of semester projects. This could be him next semester , if he decided that is.

" It's been a while since I went to school you know. And the last time I was there, I didn't really have the best time"

Gwen gave a soft squeeze to his hand.

" I know" she said softly. " But you've grown so much since. You're smart and funny, you got your roguish charm" he smirked as she gave him a little nudge.

" kev you'll be fine. And i'll be right here if you need anything", she reassured.

His smirk dropped.

Truth be told , while he was nervous about going back to school, it wasn't exactly the number one thing that made him apprehensive about this whole situation.

" G, you know this is a 2 year degree, not including further specialization and the compulsory year long work I'm supposed to do with Azmuth. I'm gonna have to stay out here for 5 years atleast. And I know you can't just drop everything at Freidkin and ...." he trailed off.

He didn't even want to say it out loud.

The anodite looked down at her hands and fumbled with her fingers.

" I know" she whispered. She wasn't stupid, she knew what followed if Kevin went here.

They sat in silence, just staring at the ground for a while, neither of them wanting to confront the truth that loomed over them.

" Gwen , I ca.. I don't want to lose you" he whispered. "5 years is a long time. Things change , people.. change"

Their own relationship was a testament of the fact.

She turned and grabbed his face in her hands, her thumb slowly stroking his cheek. She looked into his dark eyes, the eyes that become her home over the past few years.

" I can't even begin to imagine not being you okay? But I can't take this amazing opportunity away from you, you deserve to be happy Kev"

" you make me happy gwen"

" I know , but that's not enough. You're worthy of so much more. You deserve a chance to be great."

He looked away from her, trying to avoid eye contact.

" so you're going to let me go, just like that?" he said quietly.

She placed her head on his shoulder, his arm instinctively wrapping around her like it'd done a million times over.

" yes, even if it feels like my heart's being ripped out of my chest. I love you too much to keep you around. "

He sighed. " 5 years is a long time you know. A lot can happen"

This wasn't going to be easy , it never is when it comes down to the one you love. Kevin was right, 5 years was a terribly long time to be away from the one who's the reason your heart flutters, but this wasn't the time for mere feelings.

" 5 or 500 , I'm not going anywhere" it was true, regardless of what the future held for their relationship , there was one thing she knew for sure. She was never going to stop loving him.

He kissed the top of her as she snuggled closer. It was an interesting emotion Kevin felt at the moment. A mix of excitement of knowing he'd have a chance of becoming something great whilst feeling grief over losing someone he considered was his whole world.

Kevin turned around and looked up at the Azmuth statue. He wondered why he had recommended him in the first place. Besides from a few interactions, always regarding Ben, they hadn't really talked or bonded in any way, at least not enough for him to consider him to for anything as prestigious as this. Then again he never did understand most things the little green frog spoke or did.

" hey G, is the water coming out of his head supposed to represent his brains?"

Gwen looked up with him, " huh ,I guess so "

"Weird"

_______________________________________________________

A/N: yes , they break up. I've always headcanoned they do. not because they hate each other because personally i feel like kevin deserves a chance to make something of himself besides just following gwen around. He's got the potential. and azmuth noticed that as well.

But fear not, they do get back together at the end of the 5 years. :))
