Trust Me

Ben was definitely exhausted when he walked in from his mission. He was so tired that he felt like he was going to pass out any minute. Once he stumbled into the mansion, Rachel was there to meet him. She helped him to get to the kitchen and sat him down and began to rub her friend's shoulders.

"Are you alright Ben? You seem very tired," Rachel spoke softly. He smiled at her and gently gave her a friendly nudge.

"Thanks Rachel. I'm alright; I'm just a little tired from the mission. I will be fine," he smiled as he ate a cookie. He was thoroughly enjoying it when he saw a cookie levitate in front of him. His eyes widened in shock for a moment until Big Chill materialized in front of him and began to eat the cookie.

"Big Chill, don't freak me out like that, man," Ben laughed as they fist pounded each other. They laughed about it and Whampire came in to join them.

"Hey, everyone. What's all of the commotion in here?" He laughed out. Rachel was about to explain when all of the sudden Ghostfreak came in and floated near Ben.

"Tennyson…welcome…," his eerie voice echoing. Ben jumped in the air and looked like he was about to press his Omnitrix. Rachel jumped in front of Ben and tried to keep him from pressing the Omnitrix.

"Ben hold on! It's alright…I promise you're safe!" Rachel said, trying to calm him down. Ben now began to sweat and he looked positively terrible.

"Uh…I think I hear my name being called…gotta go…," Big Chill said, as he excused himself, while Whampire approached Ben.

"Ben…calm down…," he coaxed gently. But Ben was still afraid. Ghostfreak tried to float closer, but Ben suddenly pressed the Omnitrix and turned into Ditto. He made four of himself and he scattered across the kitchen and then ran out of the room. Ghostfreak looked puzzled.

"What did I do?"

"I'm not sure. Let me talk to him," Rachel said, but Whampire stopped her.

"Rachel, there is no need. Let me speak with Ben alone for a moment," Whampire said softly as he walked out briskly to look for him. He saw Ben (still in Ditto form) in the gymnasium and he was running his hands through his brown hair.

"Ben?" Ben jumped to his feet and he separated into more Dittos. Now they were all over the room. Whampire smirked and walked over to all of them.

"Alright, Ben…show me which one you are so that we may talk," Whampire said as he had his hands on his manly hips.

"Is Ghostfreak near you? Because if so I'm not changing back yet!" One of the Dittos mentioned, but his eyes widened when he saw that he gave himself away because Whampire suddenly turned his head and lunged for Ben, pinning him down.

"Whampire! Let me up!"

"Haha you can't escape me young one…," Whampire chuckled as he poked the hero on his stomach and then waited for his Omnitrix to time out. Ben lay on his back laughing a bit as Whampire lay on his stomach and ruffled his hair playfully; he enjoyed fun moments like this with his Vladat best friend.

"But come now…tell me what's bothering you, Ben," Whampire said a bit seriously as he propped himself on his elbows to listen to him. Ben looked over at him and then looked off into space.

"Ghostfreak is a bad guy, Whams. He tried to kill me once and use me to take over the planet," he said, a bit fearful and upset.

"Ben, listen to me. Our Ghostfreak is not the same one in your Omnitrix that tried to hurt you. They are not the same, just like you know I'm different from that Vladat DNA in your Omnitrix," Whampire said softly. Ben looked at him and let the words sink it. It was true that all the aliens were different from the ones in the Omnitrix; they were living and thinking beings and much more than a single piece of DNA. While Ben's thoughts swirled, he didn't notice Whampire slowly nod to another presence in the room. Ben was just in time to see Whampire leave the room and something else grab him. He was about to scream, but something covered his mouth.

"Ben…calm down…," the ghostly voice cooed around him. Ben struggled and he began to sweat and squirm wildly to escape, but the grip did not let up. He then turned and saw Ghostfreak materialize in front of him.

"MMMMM MACHEL! MAMPIRE! MELP ME!" Ben called out, when suddenly he felt everything around him go black.

One hour later…

After an hour, Ben finally woke up. He was still sore from the struggle and he was trying to get up, but something was restraining him. He looked up and saw Ghostfreak materializing in front of him and looking at him with that one creepy eye.

"Ben…I'm glad you're awake. How do you feel?"

"W-Where am I?! Let me up!"

"Why?

"B-Because I have to leave!"

"No you don't…don't lie to me, Ben," Ghostfreak warned, his eye narrowing. Ben then struggled even more and saw Ghostfreak getting closer. "Do you know what I do to those who lie to me?"

"LET ME GO! WHAMPIRE! RACHEL! DO SOMETHING!" Ben called out, but Ghostfreak then covered his mouth. Ben squirmed wildly and he panicked when he saw Ghostfreak unleash his tentacles. He began to tickle Ben on the inside of his armpits. Ben finally was able to move and get the gag off.

"GHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHST FREAK! C'MON STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP IHIHIHIHIHIHIHIT!" Ben laughed. He then was turned on his stomach and saw the alien running his tentacles over his feet.

"AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH C'MON NO FAIR! STOHOHOHOHOHOP! LEHEHEHET GOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!"

"Do you trust me?"

"NHOHOHOHOHOHOHO! YOU'RE EVIL!" He gasped out.

Ghostfreak stopped and looked at him with a sad look.

"Y-You think I'm evil?" He said sadly. He then turned his back on Ben and his shoulders drooped sadly. Ben immediately felt terrible.

"No, Ghostfreak…not you in particular. I just…,"

"No, it's alright, Ben. I guess that's why part of my name is freak," he sighed sadly as he disappeared.

"GHOSTFREAK WAIT! I DIDN'T MEAN IT!" Ben called out, but Ghostfreak was gone. Ben then hurried and ran to find him. He searched through all the rooms and still no sign of him. He was about to give up hope until he saw Ghostfreak eating some cake in the kitchen. He smiled softly and went to approach him.

"Ghostfreak? Please, can we talk?" Ben said softly. Ghostfreak turned and he was so startled he almost dropped his cake. He began to float backwards, but Ben was closing in.

"Ghostfreak? You're not afraid of me are you?" Ben asked, smiling curiously.

"Oh, course not! I-I just uh…,"

"Well then, come here so we can talk…," Ben laughed.

"No I don't want to scare you anymore…," Ghostfreak said uncertainly. Suddenly Ben pounced and Ghostfreak tried to phase through the wall, but Ben grabbed him and now Ben phased through the wall too. But Ben let go of Ghostfreak too soon and now he was stuck halfway in the wall.

"Ghostfreak! Help me out here! I'm stuck!" Ben called. He saw Ghostfreak panic and try to figure out how to get him out, but he couldn't help but chuckle. "Ghostfreak, easy, calm down. I'm not afraid of you anymore. I was afraid of the Ghostfreak that attacked me but you are not the same as him. You're not evil."

"Well that's kind of you but…,"

"But what?! Ghostfreak c'mon! You have to believe me! I do trust you; I was upset at a completely different Ghostfreak; the evil one. And you are not evil; you're the good one! I realize that, now c'mere!" Ben said as he tried to pull himself out of the wall. Ghostfreak then began to disappear again. "GHOSTFREAK! Where are you going?! Don't leave me here! Come back!" Ben called. He suddenly heard a laugh behind him on the other side of the wall.

"Ghostfreak is that you?"

"Hahahaha yes Ben! I knew you just needed time. I heard about the evil Ghostfreak and I knew that you didn't mean any harm, but I couldn't help teasing you," Ghostfreak laughed.

"So all that time you were kidding around? I-AHAHAHAHAHHA STOHOHOHP!" Ben laughed because at that moment Ghostfreak began tickling his feet that were sticking out the other side.

"Why? This is very fun for me Tennyson."

"AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH GHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHST FREAK! C'MON!"

"Hmmmm…I don't know…,"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HH HEY! C'MON! LET ME OUT OF HEHEHEHERE!"

"Alright Ben, I think you learned your lesson and yes that was the best prank ever if I do say so myself! Now let's see about getting you out of there," Ghostfreak said proudly. He heard a growl from Ben and then suddenly Ben pressed his Omnitrix and he turned into Ultimate Big Chill. He got himself free from the wall and turned to Ghostfreak. Ghostfreak gulped as he felt Ben get closer to his face.

"Alright Ghostfreak…let's see how you like a little punishment," Ben snickered and took off after him. The friends playfully messed with each other for the rest of the afternoon. One things for sure, life is never boring for Ben.

guestsurprise's words: newbienovelistRD, I hope you enjoyed it!

To guestsurprise: I know I enjoyed it and I was wondering if you'd let me borrow Vamps for a story EmeraldMoonGreen requested me for, please? Also, could you do a tickle story with my OCs Chelsea and Matthew where they run into Goop, but are afraid of him because he's made of slime and run from him, but he catches them and calms them down? With lots of running and tickles, please?

To everyone else: Please leave a review, but no flames!
