I own NOTHING! Ben 10 and all of his aliens belong to their rightful owners, NOT me! Enjoy! I apologize in advance if I got Swampfire's character wrong!

Living up North wasn't easy for a young, almost 20 year old, woman like me, but I could handle it. After all, my Mother worked for most of the week mean I had the house to myself almost every day. What's my name, you ask? Well, you can just call me Hisoka, my nickname that means reserved. Lately I've been watching Ben 10 and I love it. I'm only a few episodes into Ultimate Alien, but I made sure to watch Alien Force beforehand. Moving on, I was rather tired for some reason and went to take a nap. Little did I know that would cause me to have quite the pleasant dream. Here's how it went:

I looked around and saw I was in the small swamp in my backyard. It was a bit cold, but not freezing. Anyway, I could easily see my house and headed for it. The only problem was the vines that came out of and grabbed me.

"What the-?! Get off you freakin' vines!" I growled as I tried to break free.

"That's not happening Sweetheart," A raspy and nasally voice said as the vines around me tightened.

I gasped, searching for whoever spoke and saw a being that I knew wasn't human. He was tall, mostly green, had red and yellow hair, eyes rimmed green, and boy did he look mad! I was being pulled towards him and struggled to get away to no avail. He had a devilish grin on his face as he pulled me close enough for him to grab, which he did. My heart was hammering as he held me with one arm and grabbed my chin to make me face him with the other.

"What's a pretty girl like you doing in this swamp?" He asked cheekily.

"I-I'm not pretty… and this swamp is part of my backyard," I replied softly.

The vines around me loosened as he smiled at me.

"Oh you're pretty alright, but what do you mean the swamp is part of your backyard?" He asked.

I pointed to my house and told him I lived there, making him understand. He also took the vines off of me and put his hands on my shoulders after I swore on my great grandma's grave I wouldn't tell anyone he was here.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"The name's Swampfire, Sweetheart. What's yours?" He grinned.

"C-call me Hisoka," I blushed.

"Hisoka, I apologize scaring you earlier. If I'd known this was part of your backyard sooner I would have never done that," Swampfire said sincerely.

"I forgive you. It's not like you went on a rampage through this town. There's not much begin with," I smirked.

Swampfire was grateful and told me he would like to stay in the swamp for a while. I was fine with that if he made sure to keep out of sight of the neighbors and he agreed. He also told me that he was an alien and came to Earth to find a new home.

"Hey, I already told ya it's fine to stay here! Do ya need another invitation?" I asked playfully.

Swampfire had nothing but a huge grin on his face as he pulled me into a hug and placed a big kiss on my cheek. I felt like my face was on fire by my blushing.

"Swampfire?!" I asked, my face still red as a tomato.

He couldn't wipe the grin off his face even if he tried as he lifted one arm to the back of my head and nuzzled my cheek.

"He-hey, that tickles!" I giggled.

That's when he went full on tickle attack and tickled me senseless. I couldn't stop laughing for the life of me and begged Swampfire to stop. He did after a few minutes and I was thankful for that. After what felt like ages, Swampfire let me go and I went home. It was then that I woke up and realized it was all a dream. I smiled knowing that I would probably see Swampfire in my dreams again. It was only a matter of time anyway.
