A/N: I have to say that this has been stalled far too long! Without further ado, I give you, "Benlie Weekend". Ben's POV as every chapter will be.

Hey Princess
I grip the armor of the Forever Knight fiercely, anger glowing in my eyes. I wasn't about to let them get away with kidnapping my girlfriend. Julie's mine, all mine, only mine. "Where is she?" I snarled, pressing him against the wall. "Where's Julie?"
And he falls to the ground in fear.
Yes, story of my life. I turn back to human and run through the castle with surprising speed and knowing all too well that I had to get to Julie before one of the higher ranking Forever Knights did. Because if they did, they could either have a ton of information on me or she wouldn't be alive much longer.
The castle walls fly by as I run through the corridors that threaten to close in on me. I hiss as I realize I have no clue where Julie would be. "Jules," I breathe, desperate to find her in one piece. I clutch my shirt and turn, looking around the cold halls. "Where are you?"
"I have to say," comes a voice behind me, sounding all too familiar for me to not know, "I never expected armor to be penetrated by more armor." I hear the clanging of something hitting the ground covered in a plush, red carpet.
I turn and see her standing there, brushing a few stray strands of her ebony hairs out of the way of her earthen eyes. And relief washes over me. "Jules…"
"Well, I'm just saying, if they were smart, they probably should've made the armor harder to break or something." She looked at me and her head cocked to one-side. "You're staring at me like I'm a penguin or something, Ben."
I let my jaw drop. "Well, it takes me and Kevin and Gwen to take down a few easy Forever Knights and you can just pick up a weapon and swing it around a little bit and they're down in a matter of minutes." I shake my head, putting my hand to my temple. "I have to say, that's pretty impressive."
She gives me a smug little smirk and her earthen eyes twinkle as she fingers the hem of her pristine white skirt. And her reply is short, practically mocking me. "Tennis."
I just pull her into a hug, afraid that she could go missing again. She was mine and I wasn't about to let her get too far from me again. Her hands lace up around my neck and we stand there for a few long moments with a smile on her face.
"Ben, you act like you're shocked that I can hold my own in a fight," she giggles as I pull away from our hug with a slow sigh of relief. "I'm awesome and don't you forget it, Benjamin Tennyson."
"So I broke into a Forever Knight castle, busted through a fake dragon and threatened a couple of guys 'til they wet themselves… just to find out that you already broke out?" I ask, relaxing a little bit as I gesture for her to lead the way out of the castle.
She passes me with a little smile, walking down the hall in her short little skirt with me behind her the whole way. I don't question her. She's gorgeous. That's pretty much all I need. Anything more would be complicated. Anything less would be dull.
I step over one of the Forever Knights I had knocked down previously when I was chasing after Julie. He moans and I laugh, walking a little faster to catch up to my favorite Asian-American beauty. "So how many did you knock down?" I ask, eyeing her suspiciously and wondering if she'd been holding back this whole time I'd known her.
She looks back at me with a little glimmer of mystery in her brown eyes. "I lost track after three."
Yes, that's Julie.
We walk through the castle. I stare at her as she stares at the tapestries. She keeps her eyes ahead of her and I keep my eyes on her. It's a cycle, but not. I just know I want to keep seeing her for the rest of my life. Her in her short skirt with her short cropped black hair and those sparkling, dark eyes.
She looks over her shoulder at me. "Ben, you're staring."
"You mind?"
"Maybe."
Then, under her breath, I hear her add, "Pervert."
"But you love me," I laugh, catching up to her on one side and wrapping my arm around her waist in a clearly loving way. "I can't help but stare, Jules. You're gorgeous and you can kick butt in a fight. It's like Gwen, but you're not my cousin!"
She smiles and my heart melts and she says, "I'm not even sure if I want to comment on that." But her head rests on my shoulder and I pull her a little closer to me as we hit the drawbridge that is laying out before us, the robotic dragon I had destroyed laying behind us.
"Then don't," I respond. We cross over the water that guards the castle as a moat. I just can't believe I was lucky enough to get Julie. Keeping her was gold. Being able to stay with her was my own personal joy.
And out of nowhere, Ship barrels into Julie, rubbing against her leg like a cat. He purrs in his own… dog-like way. The dog meant so much to Julie and it should've meant a ton to me too, but he was just a dog. Sort of. I knew he was a… Galvanic Mechomorph (Kevin had told me enough times over and over again), but I called him a dog because Julie called him a dog. Close enough, right?
There were days that I felt like I was never enough for Julie. There were days when I didn't think she was around enough. There were days when I craved her attention and I craved a kiss, but me and Julie, we were just simple. Together, but not. It all depended on the day and how our status was.
"Ben, zoning out. Just stop thinking before you hurt yourself." She had linked her arm with mine while I had been thinking of her again. She was always so special and I was always… Ben.
Her eyes glitter as she watches me with her warm brown eyes. She reads me like an open book. She's the perfect one, the one that I want, the one that I'm glad I found. She's the princess I'll rescue any day of the week, even if a Sumo Slammers marathon is on. I know I want Julie. Forever.
Tennis courts became my home. She learned to live with Kevin driving us around until he had made me my own car. We could make it through anything together.
I would always be glad I'd found her.
"Ben?" she asks, staring at me with a smirk on her face, knowing I wasn't paying any attention to her at all. Not exactly my fault. She was just naturally distracting for me.
I just lean in and kiss her for a long moment. Then when I pull apart, her face is flushed red with a warm blush and moonlight is washing over her skin. She looks shocked and gasping for the right words to understand her emotions. So I simply ask, "What is it, princess?"
A/N: I believe in Benlie for Ultimate Alien and Alien Force, but don't expect any future things from me for the pairing. That's more of a Gwevin style of mine. Review and thanks!
