Chapter 1 : A love created ...
"sigh ... I tell you ... I can´t stand that ... every night the same dream... and every day I think of her ... ALL the time... I just can´t stand that anymore ..." Ben Tennyson a 13 ( and a half) Years old Boy and his Grandpa Max who runs the Café "Heroes Hideout" are at the moment having a conversation about Gwen Tennyson, Cousin of Ben and Max's Granddaughter... "what the hell what´s wrong with me ? I mean ... all the days we´ve been traveling though the whole country... and I just couldn´t stand having her around me ... and now ...? I can´t stand DONT having her around ... " Ben was confused and couldn´t sort his feelings "hmmm... maybe ... uhh... I don´t know... maybe you just miss her..." Max replied "It seems to be a good explanation if you ask me..." Max said thinking " ... sure... like dreaming about someone EVERY DAY is a sign that you miss him or her ... you know how we were grandpa ... what changed ? ..." Ben was pretty confident that something must have changed " ... hmmm... maybe you just realized what really is important ... I mean you´ve sacrificed the Omnitrix to safe the world from Vilgax..." " Yeah ... but making the whole null void zone collapse wasn´t needed if you ask me ..." Ben said ... he remembered what he had to do ... he activated the self destruction protocol of the Omnitrix and set the timer to 3 minutes then he gave the Omnitrix to Vilgax ... and then he took the null void Projector ... and shot at Vilgax making him and the Omnitrix vanish into the null void ... which collapsed ... how did they knew ? Well the Projector wasn´t working after this little escapade... and Max broke it for good... to make sure that it wouldn´t get into hands of evil... " ... maybe it´s the strange thing you found... I mean that tranformator or what ever it is " a Guy with a strange red and Yellow suit said ( note : Max´s Café is in fact a meeting point for several heroes ... ) " you mean this thing ? " Ben asked showing something like a blue and black watch on his arm ... it showed U constantly ... " I don´t even know how I got this thing ... I just know that can transform into something like super hero with it ...but seriously I don´t think it has something to do with it... maybe... no ... that´s silly ..." he said " what ? " Max asked " Well...maybe I´m having a crush on her..." Max was a bit surprised about this this idea" well... it sounds odd... but it´s not impossible... I mean we even had an alien-human marriage a few months ago...besides that you´ve been arguing the whole time... shows that you care about each other ... " Max started " odd ?... I rather call it nuts!! Hello ? she´s my cousin not my girlfriend..." Ben said " Have you ever talked with her about your feelings Ben ? " "duh! No of course not I mean... what would she do ? Laugh about it most likely..." " well...you sound pretty confident about that Ben " the suit Guy said " Yea your right Vis... but ... I don´t know... maybe I´m just afraid of being hurt... I just don´t got a clue what I should do ..." Ben said " hmm... Jump..." the Guy with the suit said " heh ? " Ben was puzzled " Well if you don´t tell her you never gonna know how she feels about this right ? So why not give it a try... and Ben it´s normal that your afraid ... it´s just natural... and besides that... telling someone about how you feel and what you think is always a risk... no one can change that ..." Ben was kinda puzzled "... I will need to think about this... I just need more time..." "you have time... but not to much ... she said that she would come here over the weekend remember ?" Max said " You right... but I´ll have made up my mind by that time..." Ben said, he went outside and transformed, he looked kinda like his imaginary self which he had called "ultra ben " with the difference that his Powers were a lot different from the ones Ultra had, he can´t fly just jump damn high, well he jumped on top of a building and transformed back 'what should I do...? ...' two voices in his head were arguing ' she´s my cousin ... but I like her to much for that alone... I got to tell her ... no ... if I do that ... ARRRGH I don´t know what to do ...' suddenly a BANG came from the Streets something REALLY big landed in the middle of the crossing it looked like an reptile or something ... but it was made of metal... "woah ... ! where did that thing come from ? ...huh ? " he saw someone who wasn´t running away in fact the person was fighting that ... thing ... " hmmm... " he transformed and jumped down, then he could identify a girl who was wearing something like a cat mask..'what ? ... no ... GWEN ?! what´s she doing here? Wasn´t she supossed to come here in like 4 days? ' he saw that she had problems with that Beast ... and then it snatched her with it´s mouth "AAAAAAYYYYYHHHHHHHHH" she screamed " HEY !! REPTILE !! HEADS UP " BLAM Ben hit the thing at the throat making it break apart and fall over, letting go of Gwen, Ben caught her before she hit the ground " woah... ... ähh... thanks ? " she said as Ben caught her ".. ... do I know you ? " she asked " ...hmmm...when your name´s Lucky girl than ya do ..." Ben laughed "EHH? How do you... ? ... .Ben... " Gwen said confident " ... yeah ...? " he said with a sly smile " why are you wearing that custom ? I thought "Ultra ben " was just inside your imagination ..." " he still is ... call it my little secret... since you seem to have had one yourself ... " Ben said " ähh... what do you mean ? " " Don´t play dumb with me okay ? I remember the Charms pretty well.." he said pointing at her chest were she wore all of the charms including the creation stone "... ähh... You would like to know why I´m here already right ? " she asked kinda blushing pretty disturbing since she never really blushed before ..." Well?... " Ben asked "I´m here because... because of... .. " 'spit it out already ' he thought to exited to wait " Because of .. of you Ben ... " now he was shocked... and pretty strangely surprised '...ok...ok.ok.ok...I would have thought of ANYTHING but that ...' he had a obviously surprised face "I know... this... doesn´t sound like me at all ... but... ever since you were gone... I fell so... lonely... " before she continued he concluded what he thought she wanted to say "... you just couldn´t get me out of you mind right ? ..." he asked , " Ähh... how do you ...? ..." she wanted to ask " I felt the same way the last half Year..." he said, he took her up ( not without her protesting a bit ) and they jumped up onto an undamaged building "... so you ... dreamed of me all the time ? " she asked " uh-huh..." he said " ... Well seems that we have the same thing... I thought and dreamed of you ALL the time..." she said "...but I don´t know ...what´s gonna happen now ? I mean we can´t be doing this the whole time... I mean travel around..." she said " ... maybe we don´t have to... maybe this all means something else ..."he said transforming back " like what ? ..." she asked " like that .." he said and before Gwen could react he kissed her "!!" in the first second she thought 'do ...DO SOMETHIN DAMMIT !!' but ... she just couldn´t ... she just couldn´t do something ... because she was thinking about doing the same thing all the time ... before she could do ANYTHING he let go,and turned away "... I´m sorry..." he marbled "because of what ? " she asked " ... I mean... I just stole you first time right ? ... your first kiss..." he said " Yeah you did ... and... I´m damn happy that you did, you doofus.." she laughed hugging him from the side "wha..? " he didn´t understand... why didn´t she hated him for that ? He always thought that she would either say that she wouldn´t want to see him ever again or would punch him for it... "what´s with the surprised face Ben ?... Did you really thought I wouldn´t want you to do that ? I mean ... sure ... you are my cousin... and I have... some problems with this to...we are already related... means that no one would accept a relationship like that ..." she said turning away from Ben, "but..." Ben said "... we just can´t live without each other... we both see that Gwen...I couldn´t stand to lose you ... but ... our love is doomed in all cases ... we just can´t ..." she turned to him " how can you say that ? We... we will find a way ..." she said hugging him " ... we just have to" she said with a sad tone in her voice...
