I had just thought of this after seeing the episode 'Duped' online. I also mixed this in with something I thought of after reading 'what if Julie Yamamoto Died?'. R&R PLEASE! Note: I tweaked the episode so she would dump Ben, so if anybody asks I know that's not what really happened.

Ch.1

Ben sat in his room staring at the ceiling with nothing hanging there. I feel like such an idiot now. What am I gonna do? I still like her. I think that I might even love her. "AHHHH!" he screamed and punched the bed he was on. After hearing her teenage son scream, Sandra ran up to his room and opened the door. "Ben? Are you okay?"

Ben only sighed and regained his composure. "I'm fine mom." he replied calmly. He grabbed his trademark green jacket. "I'm gonna go take a walk around the park ok?" She could only nodd as she saw her brooding walk out the house. The air should do him good. Allow him to clear his head.

Ben walked out to the Bellwood Park with his hands in his pockets. Despite the fame he had oh so quickly acquired, there was no paparazzi or fans or anything. Ben had figured the key to that at the movie. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses and the sumo slammer wig from the movie. A bad memory of the day. As he walked the memory flashed into his brain.

(Flashback)

Ben met Julie in the seats where he was supposed to be sitting for her final match. "Well..." she began. "I'm glad to see that you can keep your promises Ben." Ben walked over and took his seat. He failed to notice the giant gold trophy indicating that she was victorious. "You won? Congratulations." Ben looked over again and noticed she was still wearing her scowl at him. Oh this is very bad now isn't it? Like I need to ask that.

"Julie" He placed his hand on hers. In her fit of anger it was slapped away. "Ok, please just listen to what I'm gonna say." Julie could tell what he said would be heartfelt, she was still in her fit but she turned to face Ben's words. "I'm really really REALLY sorry that I missed your tennis match. But I'm happy that you won."

Julie put her hand onto her face and swiped it down in one foul motion. "Ben, it's not the fact that you didn't see me play. It's the fact that you at least wouldn't tell me why. I know that you're a hero and that you have responsibility to defend the world. HECK the whole universe. But you know..." she sighed not being able to find the words to say. "I just think that it would be easier to both of us if I was just another person that you protected."

Ben's eyes widened at the reply that she gave him. He was hoping that this wasn't going where he was thinking it was. She placed her hand on Ben's and looked away for a minute. In hr heart she thought that it wasn't necessary but in her head it was. "Ben, I wanna break up." Ben was still in shock but with the underlining understanding from his conscience. "I understand. I guess I'll see you at school next week."

(End of Flashback)

Ben still had the wig on as he sat in the park watching couples of different ages pass by. Little kids playing in the sandbox, and teens walking dogs. I can't believe how depressing this is for me. I don't even wanna fight aliens. The break up happened about 2 weeks ago. Let's just say for Ben, certain classes very hard to get a word in edgewise. Julie was in 3 of his classes, wasn't easy for him. Staring at the one he loved and expected to not show affection. To just sit and protect like any other person? In his eyes, she wasn't any other person.

Ben's head slumped into his knees as he felt like the entire world was just roaring to shoot him down. After about sitting and thinking for an hour, Ben returned home and was greeted by Kevin and Gwen. "Tennyson, we need to talk." Kevin placed a hand on Ben's shoulder, which he flicked away in a second. Ben didn't shoo Kevin away since he knew what would come. Behind him stood the 16 year old red head, and part Anodite Gwendolyn. "Please Ben? This is really important. It concerns all of us." Gwen pleaded.

Ben slumped his head in annoyance and in defeat. He let them enter his place. Swiftly, he ripped the wig off his head and chucked the glasses onto the couch on his left as he passed through the door. He walked up the steps to his room and leaned into his bed waiting for the inevitable conversation like a kid in trouble.

"Ok, Ben we seriously need to talk about your future in heroism here." Ben just waved his hand indicating her to go forward. Kevin jumped up from the computer seat and leaned into Ben's face. "You haven't been doing a bit of work since Julie broke with you. Come on! I thought you'd love to have something to take out your aggression on."

Gwen studied Ben's face as he took in Kevin's to the point method. It wasn't of anger, his face was filled with pure sorrow and regret. She took a seat next to him and put a hand on his shoulder in comfort. "You still love her don't you?" Ben turned over, his eyes looked paled over, lifeless. Even under these circumstances, Gwen can still read my mind. He couldn't find any words to say, the breath was taken right out of him.

'It's okay Ben" she started. "There are others, and it's not like she's going to die. None of our enemies know who to attack anyway." He was able to give out a sigh of relief from this statement.

Meanwhile... Julie was at the courts and had just finished er last set for the afternoon. She picked up her racket and walked home. She flipped open her phone and noticed it was dead. I just charged this yesterday and I haven't done anything with it. She cursed her luck, as the lights dimmed up in her favor as the sun went down and was exchanged for the small lights in the night sky.

As she walked home alone she felt a cold chill kept whispering down her spine. She figured she was just paranoid. Oh how wrong she was.

Alright so this is my first on the latest fic I'm working on. Don't worry I will still update my Charms of Bezel. I just had this on my mind and it needed to be published.
