Chapter 1: Off to Summer Camp

*****Note I do not own any of the Ben 10 franchise is any way shape or form*****

I woke up this morning to find my room messy from the entire luggage bag that was on my floor. My room is messy because I am currently in the middle of packing for a week long summer camping trip. I should probably introduce myself first, my name is Ben Tennyson. I have a cousin named Gwen and we're probably anything but ordinary. Well at least her for the most part. Anyway I am just so excited because this is going to be the first summer camp that I have been to in ages. The best part is that my cousin Gwen will be going with me.

"Ben hurry up we're leaving in 5 minutes," said my mom.

"OK Mom," I replied.

The worst part is all the stories that Grandpa Max has told me of the place that we are going to. All the stories of the fountain that his friend Xylene planted there over 100 years ago just freaked me out. Listening to Gwen's thoughts, I found the omnitrix and stuck it inside my suitcase hidden away, just in case I needed to put it on and use it. The best part is that I haven't needed it in 5 years. This camp may just be the exception though.

Anyway my mom called, thank goodness that I wasn't going to be the youngest of the group. I would be going as a sophomore. My cousin will be in the same age group as me.

My Mom yelled from downstairs telling me that it was time to go. We headed to the car where I put my luggage in the trunk. I then got in the car and we started heading towards my cousin Gwen's house. We got there quickly because she lives only a few blocks from us.

We picked her up and then headed towards the school. My mom dropped us off where the other students were being dropped off.

When we first got out we headed over and checked ourselves and our luggage in. I had a lock on mine because of the omnitrix was inside of it. After making sure everything was okay, we headed to the gym where we were told to go. After going through an annoying health screening, we finally made our way inside and sat down against the wall.

"Well Gwen this should be fun, maybe we'll see killer mushrooms. Too bad Wild vine won't be any use to us," I smirked.

"Ben you know the dangers of Camp Bellwood. It sounds very dangerous due to the dangers this so called Xylene's fountain that grandma Max was telling us about earlier. You never know what could happen. Plus I hope you brought the omnitrix, just in case you need it," she replied.

"Trust me Gwen it's hidden away inside my suitcase."

"Ok, anyway this should be lots of fun. The first thing I want to do is go swimming. According to the camp website, they are supposed to have a nice pool."

Then all of a sudden my cell phone rang. The caller ID said Grandpa Max. Weirdly enough I answered it.

"Hi Grandpa," I answered.

"Ben before you go I just wanted to remind you the dangers of camp Bellwood. Xylene's fountain is there and powerful energy will be emitted from it. Also, I hope you packed the omnitrix, you will need it. One last thing, good luck and remember if you need any help you can always call me," he stated.

"OK Grandpa, Bye." I then hung up then phone. I told Gwen that he reminded us to be careful.

Just as I got off the phone, the principle was standing right in front of me giving me an odd look. "Tennyson, must you always be on the phone?'

"Sorry sir, it was my grandpa," I replied

After another annoying semi-retarded look towards our direction, he headed up to the the center of the gym and blasted a round of loud feedback with a microphone to get everyone's attention. The most annoying people of all, Cash and JT, thought it would be funny to mute him as he started to speak.

They were quickly escorted to the back of the gym and a chaperon turned it back on.

"OK everyone, the last of everybody had just showed up. You all know the rules, especially those who think its funny to mute my microphone. Just make sure you read them in your booklet. Cash and JT will be honored to write I will respect the principle 100 times on the way up there or I'll send you right back when we get here. Without any further ado you can all make your way out to the buses and get on," said the principle.

Gwen and I made our way out to the first bus, the one that DID NOT have Cash and JT on it. The good part is that we did not have the principal on our bus, as well

Anyway Gwen and I made our way to the back of the bus. We also had to whisper to make sure no one over heard us. We wanted to make sure no one found out about the fountain. Plus it was up to Gwen and I to try and remove it. IF we could not remove it together, then I would put the omnitrix on and destroy it with Fourarms.

"OK Gwen, plan one I'm falling asleep, plan two, wake me up when we get there," I said in a smirk tone.

"Ok you do that. I'm going to look at one of my spell books, just in case Cash and JT decide to beat up on you," she replied.

Anyway I fell asleep and 2 hours later we finally were at Camp Bellwood, I thought the name was funny because the name of our town is Bellwood.

I got off the bus, told Gwen to meet me when lunch was ready and went out to look for my luggage. I found it and headed to my cabin where of course three other people were going to be staying with me. One good thing is that there would be no councilor staying in my cabin.

When I opened the door to my cabin, cabin #5, I put my luggage at the first top bunk that I saw. When I turned around to see one of my roommates come in, it was one person who I was not expecting at all, Kevin Levin.

***** Anyway that's the end of chapter one, please leave reviews. What will happen with Ben and Kevin? Well, you'll have to continue reading to find out. :)
