Count Kulalu: Hello everyone! This is the infamous/famous Count Kulalu here with my first fic ever. It starts as a simple one-shot but I may make it into a series of one-shots. The premise is simple. The characters ask the other things like, for example: if they would like the other if such and such. It's fairly simple and I hope people send me reviews on what character they would like to ask the other a question and we can go from there. It can be funny or romantic.

Orbus: Hooray!

Klank: Excelent work, sir! Good to see you getting something done.

Count Kulalu: Well I have been very busy of late. Many things keep getting in the way.

Orbus: Like The Sun Also Rises ?

Klank: Did you finally finish it?

Count Kulalu: Errr…Yes. Of course I did.

Klank: Well that is good to hear.

Count Kulalu: Oh, and one more thing. I apologize for making this intro very long, so any future things that Klank, Orbus, and myself has to say will be posted after the end of the future one-shots. Just wanted to tell you all that.

Orbus: Enough procrastinating! Start the fic already!

Count Kulalu: Alright! Lights! Camera! Disclaimer!


Disclaimer: I don't own Ben 10 and/or Ben 10: Alien Force and/or Ben 10: Ultimate Alien and/or any and/or all concepts and/or characters. They are copyrighted to Man of Action and Cartoon Network Studios. If I did own said things, then I would be a rich man and would at least try to make the DVDs not so expensive and hard to find. I would also put them in an ultimate collection box with a collector's Omnitrix. But I don't own these shows. Oh Well! Enjoy!


"Would you like me if I didn't have the Omnitrix?" Ben asked Julie as they were walking home from their date. They had gone to get some smoothies after seeing a movie. A simple thing for most couples, but when the boyfriend of the pair was the wielder of the Ultimatrix and a hero to the entire galaxy, such simple things were few in between. Not to mention, they could get interrupted at a moment's notice by a rampaging robot, havoc wreaking villain, and who knows what else.

"What brought this up?" Julie asked. She knew Ben wouldn't just ask a question like that out of the blue.

"It's just that, well, I was wondering if it was the fact that I'm a hero that brought us together." He ran his fingers through his hair. He turned around when he noticed Julie stopped walking besides him.

"So are you asking me if I only like you because of some watch that gives you the ability to become any alien hero? Do you think I'm some sort of shallow gold digger, Ben?" Oh she was mad now! It's not enough that she has to put off with playing the part as Lois Lane in their relationship, but now her integrity was being put into question?

"No!" Ben waved his hands frantically. "Look, Julie, I didn't mean for it to sound like that at all. It's just that…"

"It's just what, Ben?" she crossed her arms with a slight scowl on her face.

"It's just that I feel as though it's because of the watch that we ever got to be boyfriend and girlfriend in the first place. I mean yes there are times where I've done some stupid things with the watch-"

"Like my tennis championship?" Julie interrupted with a smirk.

"Your never gonna let me live that down are you?"

"Considering the fact that you split yourself into three, while leaving the heckler at the stadium while you ran off to fight Forever Knights with Kevin and see the Sumo Slammers movie, I'd say nope." Not one of his finest moments as the wielder of the Ultimatirix, for sure. Though it was perfect blackmail material that had Ben wrapped around her figure.

"Well, yeah, like that time. And it's times like those where I wonder what would happen if I didn't have the Omnitrix to pull off stupid stuff like that." He said with a bit of remorse.

Julie was silent as her boyfriend continued his tirade.

"Would I be a better guy if I didn't have the Omnitrix? Just a regular guy worrying about passing his classes, when the next issue of his favorite comic book comes out, and getting home before his curfew? And even if I was that guy, what would attract the attention of the famous tennis champ, Miss Julie Yamamoto?" He said while looking into her eyes. The way he said her name was as if she was an Olympic athlete that people would be lucky enough to get a glimpse of her, let alone meet her.

"Well, I can clearly speak on Miss Yamamoto's behalf that she would like you just the same whether you had some special watch or not." Julie played along as they continued walking back to their neighborhood.

"Really, and can you tell me why Miss Yamamoto would be interested in courting with a regular guy like Ben Tennyson?" Ben grinned.

"Well, for starters, he is the type of guy who is motivated to help others in need."

"Go on."

"He is the kind of guy who would never let his family and friends come to harm, no matter what the danger. He may not be a smart as other people, and sometimes too naïve, but he can be very cunning and resourceful when the time calls for it." They had finally reached her house and were walking up to the door.

"I believe that's why a tennis champ like Miss Yamamoto would be willing to date a simple guy like him. Because he just radiates these qualities despite the faults he has." She then reached for Ben's face and gave him a kiss on the lips. It may have been simple to most couples, but to them, it was a moment of reassurance that despite the weird goings on in their lives, they were still together.

"Thanks Julie." He said with his face slightly flushed.

"No problem, Ben." Julie replied as she opened the door.

"So does this mean that you'll stop holding the tennis championship over me?" he said as she walked in.

"Not on your life." She replied with a grin and closed the door behind her. Ben smiled as turned around and continued on his way home.

"Well, it was worth a try."
