My attention please: I would like you to know that this is my first ever Ben 10 fanfic, and I have had trouble writing stories (due to certain circumstances) – this time I have achieved this story, according to some of my close friends who have read some of my notes on the story. And here it is!

And to gain respect for everyone, I am not the current owner of Ben 10 (I would like to thank Cartoon Network/Man of Action for inspiring me). Thankyou and enjoy my fanfic.

"THE JOYS OF LIVING AS A DITTO"

It was just a still quiet evening in the humble, and probably the most normal town in the whole of the United States, Bellwood. Despite things being considered the most normal town in the country, there has been some amazing things happening in Bellwood lately. With Benjamin Tennyson (well known for possessing the Omnitrix – and perhaps famous for battling evil lurking somewhere on Earth or from outer space) as one of them.

But how can a young ten-year-old boy (with the ability to transform into more than ten alien forms, thanks to the Omnitrix) get into such a problem on a quiet evening like this? Well to explain it, there must have been a hidden glitch occurring in the Omnitrix. How it went, it abnormally spent a long time on recharge, to make sense of the situation.

Later in the middle of the night, the Omnitrix had finished recharging after all this time. But however, Ben was asleep when it happened (let's assume Ben was having this awesome dream on a rather dramatic and daring rescue – one involving a huge mutant squid on a rampage of the town, and to make things worse, Gwen (his cousin) was captured by the mutant squid, and it's up to Ben to rescue her… trouble is, in his dream he encounters residents of Bellwood telling him which alien to transform into.)

Little did Ben know, that as he was trying to make up his own mind, by fiddling with the Omnitrix, it was actually happening both in his dreams and in his sleep. Near the end of Ben's dream, Ben had made a decision on which of the alien life forms he chose to transform into and immediately slammed down onto the faceplate of the Omnitrix.

The dream had ended at this point, and Ben woke up, irritable and still sleepy. It was five minutes before seven in the morning. "Aww man," he thought, with a desire to go back to sleep. "This was the best dream in my life! I wish it didn't end too early!"

About five minutes later, the alarm clock sounded off, waking Ben out of his last attempts to get out of bed, believe it or not. Annoyed, Ben shut off the alarm by reaching over from his bed and hitting the snooze button.

What the? His hands… they appear to be different in appearance…Ben was confused from the minute he woke up from his sleep. Curious yet sleepy at the same time, Ben got out of bed, put on his slippers and went off to the bathroom. However, upon a quick glimpse at the mirror, Ben was shocked to discover what happened. He did not wake up as his human self… he woke up as someone else.

He was not Grey Matter… He was not Heatblast… why he did not even wake up as Ghostfreak or any other alien whatsoever. In fact, Ben did not expect to tranform into one of his alien forms…

He woke up this morning as Ditto.
