Yes, yes, HELLO.
Welcome to my Ben 10 Alien Force FanFiction!
I own nothing but my own character and the plot of this fanfic. Everything else belongs to their original owners.
Enjoy and, please, pants must be worn at all times. (Sad, I know.)

(By the way, check out the first fanfic in my line of Ben 10 Alien Force fanfics. That way you don't get confused :3)
"GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!" My team lifted me onto their shoulders, cheering loudly. With less than three seconds left in the game, I had saved a goal from the opposing team. It was exactly like what happened on the day I learned that Grandpa Max went missing. And the day I put the Omnitrix back on. I looked into the stands. My mom and dad were standing, cheering with the rest of the crowd. Then, to the left of them, closer to the field, was Gwen, Kevin, and Zeke. As a joke and as motivation for me, they all got green foam fingers with my name on them. I waved to them and they waved back. Then, to my surprise, Zeke whispered something to Kevin then weaved out of the stands and disappeared. My team set me down then spread out, looking for their friends and family. Mom and Dad walked over to me with Gwen and Kevin behind them. Gwen hugged me, "Good game!" Dad smiled, "We're thinking about going out for lunch. Does that sound good to you?" I smiled, "Yeah. Are we going right now?"
"If you want to."
"How about when Zeke gets back?" Kevin suggested. Mom nodded, "Of course. She seems like a nice girl."
"How about you and Uncle Carl leave now and pick a place to eat?" Gwen suggested, "Ben, you should go with them. Me and Kevin will wait for Zeke." Mom and Dad looked at each other then nodded, "Alrighty. Come on, Ben."
"Be right there."
Once they were a good ways away, I looked at Kevin and Gwen, "Where did Ze even go?" Gwen glanced around, "I'm not sure. But she'll be back."
"She saw something happening on the other side of the field and went to investigate," Kevin said bluntly. Gwen frowned and put her hands on her hips, "And you didn't even bother to go with her?" He shrugged, "It could be nothing."
"Or it could be something big."
Gwen pushed me in the direction my parents had gone, "Don't keep them waiting. We'll see you in a bit."
"But…" I sighed, "Never mind. See you guys later." Then I ran to the car.
"Where is your cousin and your friends?" Mom asked. I lowered my menu and looked around, "No clue." Dad sighed, "If they don't get here soon, we'll have to order without them. I'm starving!" Just as he said that, Kevin's car rode into the parking lot and parked by the front window. Out came Kevin, Gwen, and then Zeke. For some reason, Zeke was walking with a limp. They came inside and sat with us, "Sorry to keep you guys waiting," Gwen said with a smile. Mom smiled back, "It's fine. What kind of pizza do you kids want?"
"Pepperoni is good," Kevin said. Gwen and I nodded in agreement. Dad looked at Zeke, "Does that sound okay to you?" She nodded slowly. Mom tilted her head, "Are you okay?" She lifted her head and smiled, "Yeah, sorry." Her smile seemed forced. Dad waved the waiter over, "Yes, we'd like two large pepperoni pizzas, water for everyone, and a pitcher of root beer." The waiter nodded and walked away. Mom smiled at Zeke, "So, tell me about yourself, Zeke. Did I get your name right?" Everyone looked at Mom and Zeke. After all, Gwen, Kevin, and I hardly knew anything about Zeke so this kinda worked out. Zeke nodded, "Yes, you did."
"How old are you?"
"I'll be turning 15 soon."
Gwen looked at me, "That's surprising," she whispered. I tilted my head, "How so?"
"She acts a lot older."
Mom continued, "How long have you been living in Bellwood?" Zeke thought for a moment, "Oh, just a week."
"Really? How do you like it?"
"It's nice here."
She smiled, "I'm glad." Dad chuckled, "I hope Ben has been nice to you." Zeke tilted her head but nodded, "He has." The waiter returned with the pizzas and drinks, "Is there anything else you'd like?"
"We're fine, thank you."
Gwen looked at Dad, "Uncle Carl? Zeke, Kevin, and I are going to have to go right after lunch." He frowned slightly, "Why?"
"Well… I want to help Zeke catch up with the rest of her class and Kevin has work."
My eyes widened as I stared at her. Did Gwen seriously just…lie?
