AN: Sorry this chapter is so short, but I wanted to get two chapters up in one day and there wasn't much I could do with this without going overboard and making it really boring. I figured Ben and Riley needed this chapter, and I think it has some good content so contine to read and Review!!

Disclaimer: Do I really need one? I don't own them, I wish I did, enough said.

Riley and Ben walked down the sidewalk in the park. "So what was so completely important you couldn't talk about it in front of Abigail?" asked Riley. He sat down on a bench and waited for Ben to answer.

"I think there's at least one more treasure hunt left in us, don't you?" he said as he walked away. Riley jumped up and got in front of him, walking backwards.

"This is about page 47 isn't it?" he asked. "I knew you were up to something!"

"You sound just like Abi," Ben muttered. "Look out!"

Riley stopped and turned around, he jumped backwards, startled by the tree he had nearly crashed into. "How do you expect to find this thing anyway? You know how Abigail's been about treasure hunting now. She'll never let you go voluntarily," he stopped, Ben looked up. "She's scared of losing you. We all are."

"I know," Ben sighed. "Riley, I have a lead. A big one. The president just called, he wants me to meet him at three thirty. He wants to talk about the treasure."

"Three thirty. Treasure. What about our movie Ben?" Riley seemed really upset.

"Riley I can't blow off the President of the United States!" Ben said angrily.

"Well can you at least tell me what's on page 47?"
"I'm sorry Riley. That's between me and the President."

"Fine, go, go talk about it with your new best friend! That's all you've been saying Ben. Mr. President this, Mr. President that, Page 47, but you can't even tell me and Abigail what's on it!" Riley shouted. He didn't mean to get so mad at his best friend, but he was so sick of the "sidekick" treatment from everyone, and now it was coming from Ben himself! Riley stalked off past Ben back to his car. He felt a hand grab his arm.

Ben's voice softened. "Riley, I'm sorry, okay. That's why I'm going to meet with the president today, to ask if I can tell you and Abigail. Otherwise I'd have told him no, okay? I'm sorry. You know I couldn't find treasure without you."

Riley smiled "I'm sorry too. I just, don't like to feel left out."

"Hey if it were me, I would've reacted the same way" he let his friend go.

"Have fun with Abigail alright. Don't let her pick the movie no matter what she says, you'll regret it."

"Have fun with the President," Riley said. "By the way are those creepy black suit guys going to follow you around the whole time?"

"Probably," Ben guessed. "Why?"

"I'm glad I'm not going. Those guys are weird."

Ben laughed. "Riley, you're the best friend I could ever have. Have I ever told you that?"

"No Ben, but I'm really glad you just did," Riley smiled. "You should go, it's around three, and you can't be late for the president and his black suited creeps."

"Secret service agents."

"No, aliens," Riley corrected him. The younger man looked so serious that Ben burst out laughing again. Riley had to be the perfect person to write a book about conspiracy theories.

"You're the best, Riley," he repeated.

"Good luck," Riley walked over to his car and climbed in. "You really need to get a car like this Ben. Abigail would never fight with you again," he drove off, leaving his best friend smiling widely on the sidewalk.

"Now down to business," Ben said to himself, climbing into his own, slightly less impressive car. "White House here I come!"

AN: Riley sure likes his aliens...But don't we all?
