Okay I've decided that I will update every week. I should finish this before exams But if I do not update soon then I might be busy during that period of time. Btw there are a few things that I've changed. Just beware of that.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ben 10 but I wish I did though

Grandpa Max and the young Tennyson cousins walked through the city to find some good restaurants. Gwen being productive had gone online see award winning restaurants that were around the city and made a list of them.

"Ooooh how about this one? It says 'award winning restaurant Chère was rewarded as the best French restaurant in 2007' let's try that one" suggested Gwen.

"Well…it looks a bit expensive. It's a five star restaurant with exquisite food. And I'm not really a big fan of French" replied Grandpa Max. Gwen pouted and begged Grandpa Max. In the mean time Ben was just at the back thinking.

'I wonder where he is right now? Has he found someone else to love? I mean, he tried to kill but he kept procrastinating whenever I'm at his knees. Does he still love me? Will I ever see him again?' Ben thought. So many questions ran through Ben's mind. He just had so many things to ask Kevin. Ben frowned sadly and tried to shake off all of the thoughts but failed miserably.

"Ugh okay grandpa we won't eat there. Let's find something else then…hmm how about this one? It's also an award winning restaurant and it doesn't look too expensive. It's called Alimente and it is best known for its pasta. Wanna try this one?" asked Gwen. Grandpa shook his head and Gwen rolled her eyes. She started looking at her list again. Ben stayed at the back not caring about eating at the moment since he was so caught up in Kevin.

"Okay can we try this restaurant called Viandas? It's Spanish and this particular restaurant is best known for its paella" suggested Gwen hopefully.

"What is with you and European food?" asked Grandpa Max jokingly. Gwen pouted again. "I'm joking we can go and try the Spanish restaurant. Paella sounds good. Are you okay with that Ben?" Grandpa Max asked. Ben looked up startled from the sudden question.

"W-what?" Ben startled. Gwen groaned and massaged her temples.

"He asked if you're okay with eating paella dweeb" insulted Gwen.

"Y-yeah sure w-whatever" stuttered Ben. Gwen raised an eyebrow in suspicion but shook it off. They started making their way to the restaurant and once they have arrived there was a long line of people waiting outside.

"Okay how about we go inside and ask how long is the wait? Sound good?" asked Grandpa Max. Gwen nodded while Ben was still enveloped by his thoughts. Grandpa Max went inside and five minutes later he came back with a shocked expression.

"What is it Grandpa?" asked Gwen.

"The lady at the counter said that the wait for the next table is in about an hour. There's no way we are going to wait that long. Sorry Gwen" Grandpa Max apologized. Gwen let out a disappointed sigh. "Let's go somewhere else" decided Max. He and Gwen started searching for some good food joints while Ben just tagged along.

'Ugh why am I so depressed? He tried to KILL me. Why do I still keep thinking about him? Maybe it's because of what happened before I left in that escape pod' thought Ben.

Flashback

Cannonbolt bounced around the room nearly hitting Kevin in various places. Kevin suddenly caught the sight of that alien that dedicated his life to Ben, HIS Ben. Kevin growled and as Cannonbolt came towards him, Kevin pushed him into the empty escape pod. Cannonbolt unrolled himself and locked eyes with Kevin before the door closed. Ben changed back to his human form and slammed his fists on the door.

"Nooooo!!!!!" he screamed in frustration. "Why did we have to separate again?!" he yelled. He broke down into tears and hugged himself in sorrow. He started sobbing wondering if he'll ever see Kevin again, at least in better circumstances. After a while Ben looked out the window and it seemed that he was going to land on earth any moment. He started thinking about how he was going to explain to Gwen and Grandpa Max what had happened. In a matter of minutes he landed back on earth and witnessed that Gwen and Grandpa Max was running towards the escape pod. Ben quickly wiped his tears and rolled over as the door automatically opened making it looked like he didn't what was going to happen. He faked stumbling over the vertical open door making it look like it was uncalled for.

"Ben! Are you alright? We were looking all over for you, where have you been?" asked Grandpa Max worriedly. He rested his hand on Ben's shoulder reassuringly.

"Long story" replied Ben. 'And a hard one to tell' thought Ben sadly.

End of Flashback

'Why did he push me into the escape pod without him going in too?' Ben thought to himself. He was still in deep thought until Gwen broke his train of thought.

"Hellllllloooooo!!!! Earth to major dweeb!" yelled Gwen. Ben startled and snapped out of his thoughts. He looked up and realized that they were in front of a diner. "Gosh! You've been really spacey lately. We decided we're eating here, plus the foods cheap and nothing could go wrong with hot dogs and chili fries" stated Gwen. Ben nodded and went inside with his cousin and grandpa. They sat down ordered and ordered their food. Ben kept staring at the bench table with sadness in his eyes, little did he know that his cousin noticed his recent habits.

"Okay! That's it Ben! What is wrong? You've been shutting us out, not paying attention and you haven't complained about anything this whole day! This is not you" Gwen yelled. Grandpa Max shushed her before anyone started looking at them. Ben sighed.

"I'll tell you everything later back the RV. It's an extremely long story" Ben said. Gwen pointed her finger towards Ben accusingly.

"You better" warned Gwen.

"Alright here's your food snookums" the waiter announced as she placed the Tennysons' food in front of them. Ben started wolfing down his food not realizing until now how hungry he was. After a satisfying dinner they made their way back to RV to get a good night's sleep. Gwen suddenly grabbed Ben's wrist and pulled him back before he got inside the Rust Bucket. Grandpa Max turned around to look at them since Ben yelped.

"You kids aren't going in?" Grandpa Max asked.

"Oh we were just gonna stay outside enjoy the fresh for a minute or two" replied Gwen casually.

"Okay well don't stay out there too long. I don't want you kids to be attacked by any aliens in the dark" warned Grandpa Max. Gwen nodded and pulled Ben towards a nearby park bench.

"Alright spill now" demanded Gwen. Ben sighed and started telling her everything ever since the beginning.

"And we did it" confessed Ben. Gwen's eyes widened and she gasped shortly after.

"What do you mean you 'did it'?" asked Gwen. Ben looked down in shame and started sobbing.

"I'm sorry. We just did it. We had sex" sobbed Ben. Gwen remained shocked.

"How can you have sex? Especially at this age?!" shrieked Gwen. Ben sobbed even louder.

"I don't know okay? It was like one of those 'in the moment' things you know?" sobbed Ben. Gwen wrapped her arms around him rubbing him gently.

"It's okay. Good thing you haven't reached the fertile age" Gwen muttered.

"What?" asked Ben suspiciously. He raised an eyebrow.

"Uhhh…n-nothing" stuttered Gwen.

"But you said I haven't reached the fertile stage, fertile stage of what?" Ben asked again

"Uhhh…just something I read in one of my spell books. Nothing special hahaha" Gwen tried to laugh it off but Ben was still not buying. But he decided to drop the charges. Gwen noticed that the suspicion died in Ben's eyes and sighed in relief.

"Okay. But do…you think…I should wait for him?" Ben asked sadly. Gwen rubbed his back reassuringly.

"He made his choice in going to the…the…uhm…"

"Dark-side?"

"Uhhh…I guess if you wanna put it that way"

"Thanks" Ben said sarcastically.

"The point is that I think you should let him go. He made his choice by going against us…and I think it's better for you t forget about it rather than dwell on what happened between the two of you. That's my opinion…anyway" replied Gwen.

'But what we had was special. We made love not…sex' Ben thought sadly.

"Okay, maybe you're right. I'll try and if it doesn't work then I'll work it out from there" decided Ben. "Thanks Gwen. It felt good letting it all out" he said.

"No problem. By the way Ben, if you need anything to talk about…I'm always here okay?" Gwen said. Ben nodded and had a small sad smile on his face.

Later that night Ben couldn't sleep. He stared into the ceiling blankly thinking about Kevin the whole time. He looked down at the digital clock next the bunk to see that the time 10:00 pm. He sighed and turned on his side for a change in position.

'I can't stop thinking about him. But it's kinda impossible to reach him. I mean, he's in the null void for God's sake plus how am I going to get out?' Ben thought. He then had a sudden realization that he could visit Kevin in the null void. He bolted down his bunk and changed his clothes. He made sure that he didn't wake up his grandpa and cousin and made a quick search for Grandpa Max's null void portal opener. Ben snuck outside very quietly and pressed the trigger of the portal opener.

Then there was this small circle that grew bigger and bigger until it stopped at the size where an average human can fit through. The background was purple but as Ben stuck his head inside he saw rocks that were acting like asteroids. Little did he know as soon as his whole body was through the portal it closed immediately. Luckily Ben took a second one so he could reopen the portal to go back home.

As he took a few steps he heard rubble. He's never been here before but he has seen the portal opening before. He looked around for a bit but his feet stayed on the ground as if it was nailed there. Then he heard food steps, like as if someone was behind him.

"Benji?" a mutated voiced said. Ben turned around.

"Kevin?"
