The first thing that Ben noticed when he woke up, was that on something warm and soft. He didn't feel like getting up just yet. He heard voices but he paid them no mind. He tried to remember what happen that day and when he did;he shot up on whatever he was laying on. He blushed as everything came back to him and he cursed. He heard the voices stop. He tensed. When he heard the voices return,he relaxed. He thought back on how he became a cat person.

FLASHBACK

Ben had just arrived at Plumber base to meet up with Blukic and Driba. After they lied to some doctors, nurses, other Plumbers, Grandpa Max, and Rook about how they never saw him all day. He owed them. He had gotten a head injury from fighting some bad guy and Rook had dragged him back to base to have it looked at. He escaped them and it caused a game of hide-and-hope your never found by Ben. Soon his grandpa heard of it and got some Plumbers to help find him. Needless to say,he hid in Blukic and Driba's lab. They were there so he told them if they kept their mouths shut,he'll owe them big time. They were more then happy comply ,as long as they got something out of it.

He hid behind some machinery that had enough space for him to hide behind. He hid behind it for a few hours before he left. He was pounced on by Rook a few hallways down further. Rook brought him back to the medical wing kicking and screaming. Since Blukic and Driba didn't rat him out,he still owed them.

So walking into their lab,he went Galvan hunting. Wasn't hard to find them. Not when all you had to do was follow their rising voices. Ben spotted them by a Galvan size table and walked up to them. Clearing his throat to get their attention.

"So what are we doing today guys?"Ben asked bending down.

Driba picked up a large chemical flask and handed it to Ben before saying, "We want you to hold this for us while we pour some chemicals in it."

"You do know I can get burn by them,right?" Ben asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well, duh!" yelled Driba with his hands on his hips.

"Which is why we want you to hold it with these." Blukic said handing Ben a pair of tongs.

Grabbing the tongs, Ben grabbed the flask with them. He then sat down on the ground to more leveled with the two Galvans and not hurt hmself for bending too long. Blukic and Driba began pouring chemicals into the flask,watched as the colors changed,and wrote down notes. Ben had no idea what they were doing and he didn't want to know. He wasn't going to ask them. Mainly because when he does ask;they would get carried away and loss him. So Ben sat there with his mouth shut.

They were doing this for 30 minutes before they hit a snag. Blukic wanted to add a pink chemical and Driba wanted to add a lime-green chemical. So instead of arguing about it,they decided to add them poured both chemicals in the flask at the same time.

And that is when everthing went down hill. Both chemicals had caused a chemical reaction when mixed together and it caused a large explosion. Ben had a table behind him so he wasn't thrown far but Driba and Blukic were blown away. All Ben could think about when the flask exploded was how pretty they colors were. It wasn't until the smoke started to clear somewhat is when he noticed something odd.

First Ben's feet had started to hurt so he took his shoes and socks off and he froze. Instead of looking at human feet, he had paws. He heard multiple foot steps running towards the lab and he started to panic. Getting up, Ben spotted a pocket mirror on the floor. He grabbed it,put it in his back pocket,and froze. His hand had bumped into something furry. Looking behind him,he spotted a tail. Ben paled.

It wasn't until the door to the lab opened that Ben started moving again. Ben ran to the nearest machinery and jumped on it. He then jumped to the next one and started looking to see who had come it. He relaxed when he spotted his Grandpa Max. Jumping down,Ben ran to his Grandpa Max and throw his arms around him in a hug. He most likely shocked his grandfather by doing that but he didn't care. He was seeking his grandfather's comfort. He felt something press on his head but he paid it no mind. He spotted Rook and Magister Patelliday behind his grandfather and he tensed up again.

Looking up at his grandfather's shocked face,he whined. He heard cooing and jurked is head to Magister Patelliday. Ben gave him a funny look.

"Look how cute his is!" Magister Patelliday yelled and got a hiss from Ben.

The hissing got him Magister Patelliday walking up to him and petting him on the head. Ben pouted then purred when Magister Patelliday started scratching behind his right ear. Once Ben realized what he was doing and that he LIKED it,he ran to the tallest machinery there was in the room and climbed it. That was where he stayed until Rook went to fetch him.

END FLASHBACK

Ben blushed when he remembered he fell alseep in Rook's arms. He blushed even darker when he also remembered how he felt safe and warm in Rook's strong arms. He put his head in his hands and welled his embarrassment. Taking a deep breath,Ben looked around to see where he was. He was in his room. Thankfully. Getting out of bed,he left his cozy room and headed to the bathroom before heading downstairs.

Once Ben freshened up,he headed downstairs and walked into the kitchen. He stopped cold. His parents,Grandpa Max,and Rook were setting at the table looking at him. Before he could make a run-for-it back to his room;his mother was out of her chair and tackled him in a hug.

"Thank God your okay! I almost had a heart attack when I saw you being carried inside in your partner's have NO idea how worried I you okay sweetie?" Sandra finally asked.

"Other than a little tired. I'm fine." Answered Ben squrming out of his mother's arms.

"Well,now that we know your alright. Rook and I better head back." Grandpa Max said as he and Rook got up and headed for the door.

Turning to his parents,Ben asked, "Are you fine with me looking like this?"

"I find it cute." His mother answered while his father nodded.

"Ben!" Max called getting his grandson's attention before continuing,"I want to see you early tomorrow."

Ben nodded and his grandfather smiled before closing the door behind him. So with Ben left in the care of his parents,he might as well enjoy it. Grabbing both his parents hands,he dragged them to the living room to watch T.V. and cuddle. He didn't like to cuddle much but he was in a cuddle mood right now. With him inbetween his parents on the sofa,he purred in happiness. He couldn't help but think 'What's the worst that could happen?'.
