NOTE: Okay, I'm changing my chapters to better fit my new plot. (By the way, I had come up with the name of Ben's mom BEFORE it was known.)

Disclaimer: I do not and probably never will own Ben 10.

Ch. 1: The sentencing

Sandra Tennyson walked up the stairs of her home to the second story. Sandra is in her mid-30's, has straight shoulder-length brown hair, and blue-green eyes. She's wearing a light pink t-shirt and a pink skirt. Anyway, when she reached the top of the stairs, she headed straight for the second room on the right, and knocked. Loudly. However, she didn't get an answer. She knocked on the door again, only harder. "Samantha, open your door for goodness sake!" she yelled, still pounding on the door.

"I'm coming already, you don't have to yell," answered a calm, and bored, female voice. A few seconds later the door opened to reveal a sixteen-year-old girl, Samantha Tennyson. "I think they could here you in Japan," she commented sarcastically to her mother. Now, Samantha looks nothing like her mother. First of all, she was wearing a loose-fitting black t-shirt, blue jeans, and black socks. Also, unlike her mother, her hair is long, reaching to her mid-back. At this moment she's just wearing it down and it looks a little messy, indicating that she had been lying down. Her hair, unlike Sandra's, isn't brown, it's brown-blond, and it's wavy and thick, not straight. Samantha's eyes are light brown. However, their differences are understandable. That's because Samantha isn't really Jacqueline's daughter, the Tennysons adopted her when she was five. "So what do you want?" she asked, leaning against the doorway.

"What were you doing in there?" her mother asked.

"Playing Kingdom Hearts Two," she replied.

"Again?" Jacqueline asked," Didn't you beat that twice already this summer?"

"Uh….yeah, I just don't have anything to do," she answered. "Uh-oh,"she thought," I don't like where this is heading (1)."

"Alright, that's it, young lady," Jacqueline said in a serious tone,"I'm not going to have you lounge about here all summer and do nothing. I'm calling your grandfather."

"Uh….why?" Samantha asked. "I really don't like where this is going!"

"You're going to join your brother on his camping trip with Grandpa and Gwen," her mother answered matter-of-factly.

"But-," she started.

"No buts," Mrs. Tennyson interrupted." Now go get packed. You'll be leaving in a few days. And no complaining." She then hurried back down the stairs. On her way down she heard Samantha slam the door shut angrily. Jacqueline sighed. "Teenagers."
