A/N- Wassup? It's TOBN here with yet ANOTHER Christmas surprise. Gosh, I am full presents, with my holiday special, Erica and the Night Before Christmas, Five Minutes 'Til Midnight, and my IPod Shuffle Challenge: Christmas Edition, if these were all real gifts, I'd say you have thousands of gifts!

Anyway, I have been reading a bunch of these one-shot collections, and I would say they are fantastic! So I decided to write my own. The pairings can be decided by you, and so can the ideas. I WILL TAKE REQUESTS, BUT DO NOT HATE ME IF THE STORIES SUCK.

So this first one was inspired when I was thinking of Benny in my version of The Brewed (Best Friends) and how he loved to draw. SonI decided, why not Benny play the artist again?

I decided the pairing suits Bethan, and a guest reviewer called 'anonymous' said that 'we' (whoever 'we' is) would look forward forward for more Bethan stories. So here we go!

Drop a review and..yeah! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: In no way do I own MBAV or its characters, just these plots!

ENJOY!

Chapter 1: The Art of Benny's Love Life

"Ugh...I hate art."

Ethan rolled his eyes as his taller friend groaned and whined.

"C'mon B! You know you are great at art! I saw you draw before; I swear you could ace this. Besides, this is only extra - curricular, so if you fail, I am pretty sure you'll be fine. But my money is on the fact you will probably draw a better version of the Mona Lis." Benny blushed softly.

He somewhat knew Ethan was right. Teachers, family, even friends say that he was an artist. But Benny was pretty modest when it came to art.

Plus, the only reason he actually tagged along with Ethan was because of Ethan himself.

A side affect of being madly in love with your best friend.

They took their seats. The teacher went up and smiled.

"Good afternoon young future artists!" Ethan snickered as Benny groaned. No way was he going to be able to deal with this teacher, he could tell.

She rambled on about art techniques, like over-lapping and mixing colors and other things Benny already knew.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she finally got to the assignment.

"Today, we will be going to painting something that interests you." Benny perked up, and he could feel Ethan looking at him. But he ignored it as the teacher continued.

"Art is about inspiration and the urge to express your feelings. Due at the end of class, you will be drawing a portrait of something that you absolutely adore. Something, or someone, you love dearly. Remember the techniques, and you may pick up your brushes and begin."

The students started to paint, actively talking to one another as they chattered about what they were gonna draw.

Ethan smiled at Benny. "You ready?" Benny slowly nodded as he stared at his blank canvas. He knew he had a limited amount of time, so he had to figure out something fast.

He took one more glance at Ethan. He caught him staring and smiled at him. Benny's heart fluttered as he realized what he was going to draw.

His paintbrush danced across the canvas as he overlapped a few different shades of dark brown for the hair. He stuck to a chocolate-like brown for the eyes and painted the face a pale skin color.

When he was done, he stared at it in astonishment. This was probably the best painting he ever did.

When class was over, the teacher loked at everyone's paintings. She stopped at Benny and her eyes widened.

"Mr. Weir...a very interesting topic...this is magnificent! Would you be interested in teaching art in the future? Maybe as a extra - curricular activity? It could boost up your grades gradually." Benny blushed as everyone tried to sneak a peek of what the spellmaster painted, Ethan included. But Benny picked it up and smiled.

"Of course. If you can excuse me, I need to go." The teacher nodded as everyone stared at Benny, who had rushed out, smiling like a complete idiot.

Benny walked into his room and closed the door shut. He smiled as he picked up the painting and hung it. He smiled.

It was a perfect portrait of none other than Ethan Morgan.

A/N- Drop a review and I'll seeya at the next chapter!
