I do not own Ben 10
Chapter 1: Leaving
Gwen woke up early that day, just before her parents came to wake her. The clock next to her bed alarmed at 4:00 am. Still groggy from the less than regular amount of sleep she began to get ready for her trip to the airport.
As she got out of bed her parents came into her room to see if she was up already. As they guessed she was up, not bright eyed and bushy tailed but at least she was up.
When her parents left her room to let her prepare and wait for Max to come and pick her up. Gwen took a really hot shower to get the groggy sleepiness out of her and by the time she was done she was wide awake and ready to go.
When she was just heading downstairs to have a bit of breakfast before her grandpa cam the doorbell rang and sure enough it was her grandpa Max. Her grandpa was around his sixties with some muscles which told you that he had either worked out a lot when h was younger or that he had a really labor intense job. He wore his usual hawaiian shirt and pants which was obviously out of style over 20 years ago.
"Hey kiddo, ready to go?"
"Yeah just let me get some breakfast."
"Well better get your stuff out flight's at 8, besides you can have some breakfast on the plane."
Grandpa came into the house he greeted gwen first and for a couple of minutes before leaving, he spoke with Gwen's parents.
"Hey dad."
"Frank, how've you been?"
"Great, is Ben with you?"
"No im picking Gwen up first so she can help me get him in the Rust Bucket."
Gwen got down the stairs with her luggage, she was very meticulous when she was packing her clothes and things. Being the smart girl she was she had one trolley bag and one carryon backpack. Apart from her clothes she also packed her spell book that she 'acquired' from Charmcaster.
By the time she got to the door grandpa Max and her parents were done talking.
"Hey grandpa is ben in the RV?"
"Nope, were still gonna pick him up and i could use you help."
"Let me guess you think he's still asleep."
"No, not really but if it comes to that I think you may be able to persuade him to get into the ol' Rust Bucket." He gave with a wink.
"So are we ready to go?"
"Yeah i guess so."
"Bye Mom bye Dad!" She said as she and her grandpa got into the rust bucket and drove off.
In another part of Bellwood Ben was still asleep. His parents had tried to wake him up but with no avail. So they had just let him sleep and let grandpa Max bring him into the old RV
In Ben's room his clock read 4:15 am. and had alarmed for 15 minutes, but he didn't even stir. All he needed was a little nudge and he'd be wide awake.
Ding Dong! And Ben fell out of his bed, groggy from lack of sleep he just laid there on the floor and fell asleep. He didn't need to get changed since he had changed before he went to bed so that he could sleep in the RV.
As Gwen and grandpa Max were greeted by Ben's Mom she told then that he was still asleep and they didn't know what he did last night to get him so tired. She told them that the only time that he was this tired was after his big football (soccer for US) championship game that they had won and celebrated until 10pm.
Gwen told grandpa Max that she would go and get Ben while he was talking to Sandra and he agreed with a chuckle.
As Gwen entered Ben's room she saw him laying on the floor looking so peaceful. She had never seen him like that in a long time ever since that day that he had found the Omnitirx that was strapped to his wrist.
In the long three years that they had been going to summers with their grandpa Ben had changed quite a bit from when he was 10. He was now taller than her but only by a couple of inches or so, his hair had gotten long but not shaggy or like a girl's, it was somehow neat in it's own chaotic way the same way that you see the ocean in storm. He was leaner than most young teens his age but not skinny by any measure, it seems like 3 years of wielding the Omnitrix had given him the exercise that most people would do in their later teens or maybe they were athletes since they were very young, whatever the case he had a bit more muscle than most other young teens.
He was wearing his classic white shirt with its black stripe down the middle and dark green cargo pants, but since he was older and had grown quite a bit it his shirt little tight on him but he didn't seem to mind but it outlined his lean muscled physique which held Gwen in a transfixed state of longing to hold him close.
But before she could wake him up she heard grandpa Max yell.
"Gwen! Did you wake Ben up yet?"
He jerked awake, seeing gwen he blushed slightly and and found himself on the floor, and said
"Uhh, hi Gwen."
"Morning doofus" She replied playfully.
As Ben rubbed his eyes and came to his senses after waking up he still couldn't see properly he was so tired, he didn't notice how Gwen had called him a doofus differently but he was too tired to even care.
He got up and got his large duffel bag and backpack. He seemed to have packed pretty much the same as Gwen albeit his clothes weren't packed neatly in sets and extra clothes. Before he went downstairs he went to the bathroom to relieve himself and to splash hi face with cold water to help him stay up on the trip.
They both came down to find grandpa Max still speaking with Ben's mom on the doorstep since they had to hurry to the airport, when grandpa Max saw Ben he said
"Ben! Its good to see you, why do you look so tired?"
"Stayed up lated packing my stuff."
As they walked to the RV they said bye to Ben's mom and dad before driving off to the airport.
Ben and Gwen were more excited than they were on their first summer trip with their grandpa when they were 10. Gwen more so, while while ben just dropped his luggage and went straight to his bunk of the bed and slept before he even hit the bed.
They were off to a new place seemingly free of their foes in the USA but they were wrong.
