One summer
20th June 2006; 7:34 am
You know something… I always wanted something exciting to happen in my life. Not the same average everyday life you see in the TV. Sometimes, in the deepest pit in my stomach, I had a feeling that something would change my life forever… And it definitely isn't Gwen… that dorky geek I call cousin.
"Ben!! Hurry up! Grandpa is waiting for us in the rust bucket! If you don't come down here right now… I don't what I'll do to you dweeb!"
Speaking of Gwen… That was her. Dorky huh? Yeah I know… I seriously feel bad about spending the WHOLE summer with her. Hope I don't catch her dorkyness- if that even is a word…
"I'm coming doofus!" Ben ran down the stairs, careful not fall down at the sight of his cousin that looked as though she was a volcano erupting. "Here's an advice; 'patience'; learn the word. Breathe the word. Hear the word. Fear the word. Live the word!"
"Well here's an advice for you dweeb; shut UP!" exclaimed Gwen. Her eyes flaring with anger. Ben flinched at the sight, but managed to walk away, more like run away. "Yeah you better run!"
Woah Gwen really needs some cooling down. Unfortunately for her it's intolerable because world, Ben Tennyson is here!By the way…I didn't even know I knew the word 'intolerable'. Guess school's really paying off…
"Hey Grandpa," said Ben, embracing his Grandfather into a bone- cracking hug, to Ben. "So where are you gonna take us Grandpa? Siberia? Artic? Bermuda Triangle? The vast desert? Hhmm…. speaking of desert…Grandpa, got any ice- cream?"
"I'm surprised to see you so excited Ben. But we're not going to any of those places." Seeing Ben's sigh, grandpa Max quickly added, "How are we supposed to travel all around the world in a lousy old RV?"
Ben smiled at that. Apparently Gwen had been standing behind him the whole time and she added, "I'm surprised that Ben knows about the Bermuda Triangle? You know anything about that?" she asked, sounding quite eager. In a way.
"Yeah. You know why people are disappearing? Well, the rumour has it that aliens lived at that place and made the Bermuda Triangle their hang out. Capture humans and bring them to that Triangle and feast on them!" said Ben, so excited that he threw his hands to the air.
Grandpa looked tense at the mention of aliens and Gwen stared at her cousin gleefully.
"Aliens? Yeah right. Ben you are full of child- like wonders. There's no such thing as aliens Ben."
"There is."
"No, there isn't."
"Who says so?"
"Come on Ben. Does logic ring a bell? Humans are the only living life form in the whole solar system."
"Prove it."
"That is enough! If I hear another squabble coming out from any of you, this road trip will be cancelled. And I don't care who started it," declared Max, storming out of the RV.
Gwen!! She ruined everything. That's it! If I see aliens I would definitely ask them to take Gwen hostage. No aliens. Who told her that? So now here we are. Sitting at opposite ends of the RV while waiting for grandpa to arrive.
"Good to see no quarrelling. I'm glad. Now let's get going," exclaimed Max merrily. Waving goodbye at Ben's parents, he turned to look at the two children sulking while waving goodbye. As soon as Ben's parents were out of sight, Max said," Anyone hungry?"
"I think my stomach can answer that," squeaked Ben whilst his stomach gave a low and loud grumble. Ben glanced down at his stomach, then at Max, while giving his cheesy grin. He heard a small giggle and turned around to see whom it came from. Even though he already knew.
Ben smiled at Gwen for a while and realising what he was doing, he quickly turned his gave to the fast moving road, silently blushing. Gwen smiled at the sight of her cousin.
Can't believe I can make Gwen laugh at these times. And why did I just smile at the like that? Hhmmm…. Creepy…hope she didn't see me though…I would be a shame. Hey, I think I'm feeling something here… uneasiness in my stomach. Maybe it's Gwen.
Ben looked thoughtful for a second. And I mean A second. Then his stomach gave a rumble.
No…it's stomach here. Force alarm. Can't believe I thought I liked Gwen. Eeewww… she's my cousin...
Cousin…..
Wait! Did grandpa just say... food? OH NO!!
Note to self: never and I mean NEVER, eat grandpa's cooked food... Now where was I, oh yes, Gwen is my cousin for aliens' sake. Never think of her that way.

Chapter two coming soon...
