Gwen, Zeke, and I walked to Kevin's house, talking about the DNAliens, "I don't know what they could be planning," I said, rubbing my temples, "They've been popping up all over the place and we don't know why." Gwen nodded, "I know. They're probably part of the alien conspiracy Grandpa Max was investigating." Zeke walked a little slower, trailing behind while we continued to talk. Then, she said, "Do you guys always talk about this stuff?" I looked back at her, "Oh, yeah, I guess." She sighed, "Why? Why don't you talk about normal stuff?"
"It's kinda hard for us to talk about normal," Gwen said, "I mean, I have my power and Ben has the Omnitrix." Zeke reached forward and grabbed Gwen's arm just as she tripped on a crack, "Still, it has to suck to only talk about bad guys and stuff." Gwen straightened, "It can. And thanks." I smirked, "On a much lighter note, Gwen, was it really necessary to bring him homemade chicken noodle soup?" She turned red, "Why? Is it too much?" Zeke laughed and started up the driveway, walking up to Kevin's front door, "Just a little." She knocked. There was no answer. I raised an eyebrow and knocked as well, "Kevin?" When there was no reply, I started ringing the doorbell like there was no tomorrow. Gwen swatted at my hand, "Ben, stop that! You're probably giving him a headache."
"Why won't he answer?"
"Maybe he's sleeping," Zeke suggested. My eyes narrowed as I looked at the door, "Maybe not." The wood of the door was rotted and steam seemed to be seeping through the cracks of the doorway. I kicked the door down. Gwen gasped, "Ben! Why'd you do that?!"
"Why didn't you do that sooner?" Zeke asked, sticking her head inside. Steam filled the dark house. A type of purple and green fungi was growing on the floor and walls.
"Kevin?!" Gwen called, the container of soup falling to the floor. Zeke stepped inside, "Let's hurry up and find him." I nodded and followed suite. Gwen was a little more hesitant but did the same. "It's blocking the door to his room," Zeke announced. I turned on the Omnitrix, "Nothing Goop can't handle." I slammed down on Goop's transformation and felt my body melt into a puddle of green goo. My Anti-Gravity Projector came around to gather up my body and, as soon as I took shape, I shouted, "GOOOP!" Then, the Anti-Gravity Projector threw me onto the fungi blocking Kevin's door. It sizzled and melted away. Zeke kicked the door down. "Kevin?" Gwen called again. A groan came from his bed. His face was deathly pale and something was growing on the side of his face. He forced his eyes open, "Gwen..? Ze? Ben? What are you guys doing here…?" I shrugged, "Oh, you know, just thought we'd stop by and see how you were feeling. So, how are you feeling?"
"Terrible… It's cold in here…"
Zeke wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, "You sure? It's like a sauna in here." Gwen felt his forehead, "You're burning up." She tilted her head, "You poor thing. You must be really sick." Zeke frowned and threw her hands up, "Or, you know, he's surrounded by giant freaking mushrooms!"
"Mushrooms..?" Kevin asked, propping himself up on his elbows. When he saw the fungi, his jaw dropped, "When did this happen..?!"
"How long have you been asleep?" Gwen asked. "I went to bed on Tuesday," he responded. I looked at him, "Uh…It's Thursday." His jaw dropped then closed, "That still doesn't explain how these mushrooms grew in my room…" Zeke poked one of the mushrooms with a coat hanger, "They're obviously not normal mushrooms." I nodded, "Let's get Kevin out of here. Who knows what these mushrooms are doing to him." Gwen and Zeke nodded and lifted Kevin out of the bed. As I lead the way out, I'm sure I saw the fungi moving.
