"Big Chill's Problem. -

"Toby's P.O.V. on 'Save the Last Dance'."


"I so love these bike rides." I barked from my basket, which was on my master's bicycle. I'm Tobias Lucky Tennyson - my master wanted to give a unique name - but it's easier just to call me Toby; & my master's named Benjamin Rudolph Tennyson, but he prefers Ben, (I call him 'Boss-Ben', but he doesn't really mind). "This is sssssooooo cooooolllll!"

BEEP!

The horn of a car screeched as some teenage boys nearly ran us over. "Hey! Stupid drivers!" he yelled at those two.

"You tell 'em, Boss-Ben!" I happily snarled, but then their dirty-yellow car skidded next to another car & almost crashed into it. "Oh, my?"

"That's no joy ride." my master said to himself as he got out & preped the Omnitrix.

"Boss-Ben, wait? You're still recovering..." I yowled as I tried to stop him, but I was too late!


"Big Chill!" he shouted as his form had already changed, from the green-eyed brunet I knew & loved, to the deep-blue & black Moth-man/phantom-crossbreed alien, & then flew off into the night. "Hurry up, sphinx."

"...from the battle you have with Albedo." I knew then & there, something wasn't right! "Waitaminute, since when do you call me 'sphinx'!"

I followed them to a nearby bridge, where the car fell off of. "Wwwhhhoooaaa! Aaaaahhhhh!" the teenagers screamed as Big Chill jumped into the river below before the car fell in & made a ramp by frezing some of the water, that's one of his powers - he can freeze things, then flew through the car, which he can do, since he also has the powers of a ghost. "Aah!" they screamed as Big Chill then grab their car, dragging on the bumper as it slowly came to a stop.

Screech!

"Whoa! Way to go, sir!"


"What is that thing?" the driver, a young boy that musta been about Kevin's age, (whom was a short haired brunet just like my master, had black, beady eyes like Kevin, & wore a green jacket over a yellow shirt, along with a pair of what I believed to be black pants, as wellas black shoes), said as he & his pal got out of the car.

"Who Cares! He saved our lives!" the other boy was a probably around my master's age, had black hair that was even shorter than his friend's hair, but he too, had those beady, black eyes, & wore a red jacket over a white shirt, along with a pair of brown pants, as well as a a pair of tennis-sneakers. "T-T-Thank you!" the boy said, which made me smile.

'Aww! Why can't more boys be him?' I thought to myself. 'Decent & non-judgemental! Even Boss-Ben could learn from that!'

Suddenly, Boss-Ben, I mean, Big Chill, started to chew & munch down on the car. I swear, I hadn't seen do anything like that, since he could become Upchuck! "Hey!" the driver shouted at him - big mistake! No one can mess with my master, especially since he got his Omnitrix back, & especially when he in 'hero-mode'. "What do you think you're..."

"Roar!"

"Boss-Ben's gone mad?" I uttered to myself as I quivered with fright & buried my head underneath my two front paws like I was a pup & shook like a toy...(yuck)...chiluahua. If not for the fear of what just happened, I'd be so embarrassed, but I quickly got over when he took off, (once the driver-&-probably-owner of the car & his friend ran screaming into the night), since I just had to catch up with him. "Heidi's gonna never let me live this if she get wind of tonight's happenings." I freaked as I gave chase to my own master, the young human who had only save my life from 5 years before, but nursed the injuries I've received from that incident all those years ago, & made sure I had a home (as well) - this guy practically scooped me up all the way from rock bottom - it was one of those 'What's-This-World-Coming-To?' kinda momments, eh?. How was I to know that things weren't going to stop from there?


Early, the next day...


After a night of chasing, hunting & tracking Boss-Ben while he was Big Chill, I finally found him in Kevin's garage, brushing his teeth.

"O.K., Boss-Ben's still here, no sight of Mr.-Crazy-Mothman-Gone-Alien, & everything's normal. Maybe I'm freaked out from the Albedo incident."

Then he took out a metal shard from his mouth. "Where this come from?" he tapped it on the shrout of the sink.

"Nnnnnnnooooooo?"

"Toby, what's with you? WHY DO YOU BE SO LOUD? CAN YOU JUST PIPE DOWN & QUIT HOWLING SO LOUDLY?"

"Yes, sir." I whimpered out.

"Oh, Toby?" he said, sobbing along with his words. "I'm so sorry?"

"It's O.K.!"


"Hey, Toby?" my master said as he suddenly put on a smile & sucked up his tears while he got out my ball & tossed it. "Go get the ball!" & we played fetch for a few minutes. "Atta boy!" he exclaimed as he began to rub my belly & coo at me & say those baby things he used to say to me when he was a kid.

'Is it me, or, is my master having a mood swing! Oh, well! Who cares?'

Then, Gwendolyn Paige Tennyson, a.k.a. Gwen, my master's twin cousin, walk in the garage & made her way up to Kevin, who was fine-tuning his car from under it, & dropped something next to him. "Hem." she chined, but he just ignored her & kept on working. "Hem!" she tried it again, only louder, & still, he ignored her & kept on working. She then made one of her magic-energy-ropes, lassoed his foot with one end, & pulled.

"Whoa!" he yelled as he was dragged out from under. "What?" he was confused when Gwen glared at him with an angry look on her face - until she pointed at what she dropped next to him. It was a invite card!

"Oh, look." she said as he opened the card. "They're having a formal dance at my school on Friday."

"What, you want me to take you to the dance?"

"Great! Pick me up at 7:00."

"What?" he said, but she already had left. "Wait?"


"I can not stress the inportance of flossing." my master said as he walked in front of Kevin, who was going after her all the while - & when I say 'going after her', I don't mean it in the romantical way.

"Uh-huh!"

"I found this in my teeth." Boss-Ben showed Ol' Kev-Kev the shard. "I think something might be going wrong with my powers."

"I'm glad you finally noticed, sir?" I yipped as I then sniff something, I thought, was impossible to get on my master. "Oh, dear? Oh, my?"

"Uh-huh!" Kevin replied to what Boss-Ben had just informed him of. "What do you know about girls?"

"O.K., that has nothing to do with my problem." Ben said, while I slammed a paw to my face. "Why do you wanna know?"

"Gwen's school is having some dance."

"&- ?"

"I think she might expect me to take her."


"So take her?"

"But the dance is at Gwen's fancy prep-school, with a sit-down dinner, & everything." Kevin replied franticlly. "What if she expects me to waltz? What if I use the improper finger-fork?"

'Man! It's oh so strange how one little invite can a guy as tough as Kevin into a basket case.' I thought to myself as he worried. '& "improper finger-fork"? What's up with that!'

"If she wants you to dance, you dance..."

"But I don't know- "

"...Also, there's no such thing as a finger-fork."

"See? If I was a preppy-guy, I'd know stuff like that."

"HA HA HA!-Kevin Levin?-HA HA!-A Prep?-HA HA!-Somebody call a vet, I think I think I'm about to bust a gut!"
