Hey guys.

For anyone still reading this, I hope you enjoyed the last part. I just want to get this all out.

I own nothing of Ben 10 except my OC. I hope you enjoy.

Ben Tennyson was an idiot.

He was in love with her; his closest friend, Georgethe.

He should have realized it sooner.

And now, he was twenty years too late.

And at the top of his headquarters tower, watching on the monitors as his old friend – now a full grown woman – was on a foreign planet, getting along with the natives alongside her assigned Plumber protector; Rook Blanco, Ben could feel his possessive urges kicking in.

Ben 10 – now Ben 10,000 – needed her back.

He had to do something.

And this time, he finally was.

OOO

Georgethe was more than ready to get her life going.

After the Diagon was defeated, Ge wanted to start fresh. Seeing her friends satisfied with their lives made her realize that there could be so much more for her out there. And seeing Ben and Julie together was just too much for her to bear. So, she decided to travel. Starting on Earth and eventually to the stars.

But after twenty years, her heart still ached for the green eyed hero. Her hero. But she wouldn't let one guy conquer her whole life. She saw new planets, strange alien life, and began to blossom in her full powers. Being a Guardian of Light was a lot to handle. Standing for all that is pure and good is a tough job. And her new suit was pretty tight, but pretty sweet.

She still communicated with Gwen through transmissions and holo messaging, so proud she became High Magus. And even more now that she and Kevin are engaged. About damn time.

So she was more than ecstatic when she was on the first ride back to Earth to see them. She missed home. Her close friends. And as the transport neared the green and black HQ tower, she immediately wanted to see his face.

"Here we go."

OOO

Ben was so distracted at the computer for keeping track of alien activity; in case an old enemy came lurking around, that he didn't hear the elevator door opening and footsteps approaching until he heard her voice.

"Busy as usual, I see."

Ben froze, his fingers hovering over the board. He slowly stood straight and turned around, only to gape at the sight before him. She's now almost as tall as him but that only added to her beauty. Her curly hair had reached her mid back; dark chocolate and caramel roots mixing together. Her figure got curvy as well as her wide hips. But what she wore on was making Ben ache on the inside. Her worn out red leather jacket looked snug on her, her black top was showing some cleavage, her tight jeans made her legs even more long … her matching leather boots gave her a more edgier look. Belts slung across her hips in an X formation, her leather brown bag slung over the shoulder, and her signature gold locket hung around her neck. But what stood out to him the most was her face. Rose pink lips, blushed cheeks, and glowing brown eyes. In one word … breathtaking.

"Wow," Ben breathed out, the corners of his mouth curving up, "Look at you." Ge looked down at her feet, blushing. "You're even more beautiful than I remember."

"Hehe, and what about you, handsome?" She only had to do one lookover to see that the years did them both good. Ben was taller, leaner, and so muscular. "I heard you're – President of Earth – that's a thing now?"

He chuckled, leaning back on the computer as he answered. "Yeah, well, it was only until stopping the 3rd Vilgaxian invasion that I resigned. Apparently Gwen is the one that's more than up for politics."

"Ah. She was the brains of the team, after all." She grinned.

Ben smiled, looking back on the good old days. "She still is. She and Kev are finally tying the knot."

"Yeah, she told me on our last transmission." Ben felt a twinge of hurt; she hasn't talked to him in years yet she talked to Gwen? Well, only Gwen. "So, Mr. Former President, how you've been?" She asked, finally walking up and closing the distance between them. Ben felt on edge and his voice dripped with it.

"I've been better."

She stopped and gave a concerned look. "What's wrong?" He looked at the floor, avoiding her gaze. "Come on, you can tell me. We tell each other everything."

"Oh, do we?" He raised his head to face her, annoyance laced in his voice "Then how come you haven't talked to me at all and just Gwen? The only time I see you is on the holo-net; and with other guys. That's the only time I actually get to hear your voice besides in my head.

And now, I finally get to see you after twenty years and that's what you ask me?!" He snapped out.

She flinched but frowned. "Why are you so worked up over this? I thought you'd be too busy with your hero job as bearer of the Omnitrix to even care about me being gone and – wait, you've been watching me?" When she realized what she said, she flushed. But not before he did too. "So, you do watch the news." He couldn't help being bashful and nodded. "And with other guys you mean … oh, don't tell me you're jealous?" She lightly teased but still looked serious.

He crossed his arms across his chest, muscles flexing, "Well, what else would you call it?" He wasn't denying it.

"You are." She exclaimed. He looked to the side, lips stretched thin as he was caught red-handed. "Oh God, Ben," she started walking up again and stopped right before him. She looked genuinely sympathetic. "Did you really think I never thought of you? Did you really think I would want to be with any kind of guy?" Ben turned a bit to glance at her. "Well, I don't. Because," she twiddled with her hands, feeling knots in her stomach, "because none of them are you." He turned some more at that. "None one is like you … to be honest, that's a relief 'cause there's only one Ben Tennyson." She grinned.

He smugly smirked and finally faced her up front, his watch hand lightly toughing hers. "Can't argue with you there." She giggled. "I miss hearing that." His other hand slowly went up her arm, her face stuck in a trance by his. "I miss everything about you." When he almost cupped her cheek, she snapped her eyes and leaned back, making him frown. "But I don't want us to mean nothing if you keep being distant with me." She pulled away and smiled sadly.

"What does Julie have to say about this?" Ben frowned, the atmosphere in the room getting tense and upsetting. "What?"

"We … aren't together anymore." Ge gaped a bit. Guess Gwen didn't tell her everything that's been going on, figured that Ge would have to find out for herself. "We broke up over my stupid ass mistake." She raised her brow, waiting for him to continue. "I … kind of … accidentally … dumped her … over the phone."

"Seriously?"

He nodded, less depressed, "I tried to apologize … but she moved on. And I can't blame her. She became a pro tennis player and started dating her photographer. At least she's happy. That's more than I can say for you."

"What the – me? What did I do?"

"It's not what you did. It's what I did!" He stalked over to her in just two steps to grasp her hands gently but firmly. "Ge I … I know why you left, all those years ago." Her eyes widened. "I should have realized it sooner. But … I was too late. I couldn't force you to come back. You weren't happy. You, of all people, deserve to be happy! I just … didn't want to get in the way of that. So, I let you go … reluctantly." He frowned, keeping his urges restrained.

However, she just had to ask. "Reluctantly?"

His hands squeezed her tightly as he leaned in. She was about to speak when she felt her mouth closed shut, her lips against his. Her eyes popped out, her heart beat getting faster and the warmth surrounding her increased ten fold. As she felt herself grow less stiff and more open to the kiss, it was then she realized it. Ben was revered for her. But more than that, he wanted her. His hands left hers to grip her waist, pulling her flush against him. She gasped softly, letting him inside her mouth. Her hands went up his neck and brushed his soft brown hair; feeling all the emotions coursing through her and she didn't want it to end.

They finally broke free and took in deep breaths, their foreheads touching each other. Ge looked red cheeked and dazed, less than Ben as his hair was rustled and his lips still looked wet but he was smiling.

He spoke softly, "Georgethe … I love you."

She felt her heart burst out of her chest. "I should have told you before you left. Then maybe, I wouldn't have waited twenty years to say it." She felt bristled at how he didn't dare go after her and say it to her face before but guess it didn't matter anymore. He was saying it now. "I've loved you since we were kids. I guess I was too blind to notice but you're the most important thing in the universe to me. I should have come after you. I should have told you how I really felt sooner. I should … I should have never left you that summer." She frowned. "I screwed everything up. You must hate me. And you should. I deserve it." He looked down, his eyes cringing at the terrible thought of it.

That's when he felt soft hands on his cheeks and made him look directly at his angel. And he stared at the tears in her eyes but a smile adorned her face.

"Idiot," she teased. Ben gaped a bit. "My idiot." He gave her a goofy grin. She hugged his neck, breathing on his lips. "I love you too, you big goof."

She kissed him lovingly when she felt him taking her in his arms, raising her off the floor as he held her, kissing her back.

She wasn't leaving him again.

Not by a long shot.

Okay, so this all technically just for me to suit my fan girl heart.

But, honestly, I do hope you guys liked it. Though, I don't think this kind of stuff gets read a lot. But if you want to see the last part, I have to finish it.

Until then, bye guys.
