Chapter 9
Writer's Block Sucks. Seriously.
Hey, guys! For some of you that have been faithfully reading my story "The Kevin Cause" you may have noticed a lack of an update... *nervous laugh* well my good people, that's because I have no idea what to write next! Ahhh, the joys of writers block… so this chapter has absolutely nothing to do with the story line — but instead, yours truly, WiTHxLOVEx3 and the characters from Ben 10: Alien Force! Yay, procrastination!
*Walks into a studio lot room casually* It looks like a dressing/makeup room. Ben and Kevin are all sitting down in those important looking director chairs in front of their own lighted mirrors.
Me: Hey guys!
Ben: *mumbles something that could possibly be "hi" or "screw you"…*
Kevin: *ignores me and pops in iPod earphones*
Me: Oh come'on! I'm sorry I can't think of a next chapter, okay?! It'll come to me soon! And I have, like, all these finals at school—"
Ben: Blah, blah, blah. Excuses.
Kevin: Yeah, and that's why I don't go to school. And where's Gwen?
Me: How should I know? I left her off at a cliffhanger somewhere in the script…
*Out of nowhere Gwen walks in*
Gwen: So glad you care. Yeah, I got tired if bleeding out on my bed, waiting for the next chapter, so I came back to the dressing room.
Me: *mumbles* Probably just your period…
Gwen: What?
Me: Nothing! Hey, can we change the subject off the "The Kevin Cause" now?
Ben: That's a stupid title. I should be in the title. Just saying. *pouty face*
Me: CHANGING SUBJECT! *leans over to Kevin now* What script are you reading now Kevy?
Gwen: *mumbles* Only I get to call him Kevy…
Kevin: *sighs* Some Bevin fanfic. Gotta keep the yaoi fangirls happy… Since you aren't updating the script, I was told to move onto this one…
Me: *Snnnnrtttt*
Gwen: *Chokes*
Ben: *Blushes*
Kevin: Hey! Well, at least I'm not hooking up with my cousin, Gwen!
Gwen: Hey! In those Bwen scripts it's just acting!
*Gwen and Kevin glaring at each other now*
Me: Wow. The sexual tension between you two is so thick it's actually choking me.
Ben: *Snnnnrrtttt!* High five!
Kevin & Gwen: SHUT UP!
Me: No, seriously. I'm going to have to make you guys do—"
Some Random Bevin Director: *Bursts into the room* Okay! I need Kevin and Ben to Set 2! Now please!
Gwen: *giggling* Have fun you two!
Me: Hey, and after you're done meet us at the pizza place! I need to talk ideas!
*Ben and Kevin walk out of the room. No doubt mortified at what they're going to have to do (literally) next*
---
Now at some random pizza place somewhere near Man of Action Studios Gwen and I sit, waiting, in a booth.
Me: You think they're ever going to come back from that Bevin shoot? *giggles*
Gwen: You're enjoying this too much.
Me: No, not really… *pouty face*
*Just then Ben and Kevin walk into the store*
Ben & Kevin: Hey...
*Kevin looks at the booth, as if trying to figure out which side he should sit on. Since me and Gwen are on opposite sides, his choice is crucial. Dramatic music plays in the background. Beads of sweat roll down Kevin's face — (Ow! Gwen just punched me complaining that "this isn't one of my scripts") — just to be safe he sits next to Gwen. Ben happily sits next to me.*
Ben: Did you guys order yet?
Gwen: Yeah, I ordered three pizza pies — knowing that Kevin would polish off the first one all by himself...
Kevin: Aw, you know me so well. *Mocking puts his arm around her and pulls her in closer*
Me: See, that's what I need more of for my story! Gwen… can you cuddle just a wee bit more?
Ben: Why aren't you like that to me? *big eyes*
Me: Because you have a girlfriend…
Ben: Oh yeah. *rejection face*
Me: Awww…*gives Ben a hug*
Kevin: Careful. Tennyson might get too excited.
*Kevin receives glares from all three of us*
Kevin: Well, I thought it was funny.
Waiter: Here you go. Three pizza pies!
Me: Heyyy! Do you know what time it is?!
Waiter: Um, it's seven—
Me: IT'S SHAMLESS PROMOTION TIME!
*Ben, Gwen and Kevin all roll their eyes and dig into the pizza*
Me: Okay, well I have this oneshot out called "The Letter" and it's about a normal freshman outcast who finds himself madly in love Gwen over here—
Waiter: I… I don't really care.
Me: B-b-but… *D:*
Gwen: You'll have to excuse her. She's so used to being spoiled by reviews on her first story that she can't comprehend when nobody cares.
Me: B-b-but…
Waiter: Hmm, well throw in a nice tip and I'll review it.
Me: DONE! Kevin… pay the nice man.
Kevin: What?!
Me: DO IT. *rabid foam comes out*
Kevin: Fine… here.
Waiter: *snatches the money* Thank you! *walks away happy*
*After devouring all the pizza I decided it's time for brainstorming*
Me: Okay guys… so I've been thinking about the story plot—
Kevin: Which is why we've gotten no where.
Me: *glare* and I have got a few ideas.
Ben: Well..?
Me: Idea number one; Gwen realizes that that her pain was just morning sickness and *gasp!* she's pregnant! And soon after she realizes that her baby is also an anodite communicating telekinetically—
*Kevin who was drinking down his soda starts to choke on the liquid. Gwen's face turns a mixture of red and green. Ben just sits there. I'm not sure if he was even listening…*
Me: Wow. So Gwen's face is the color of sickness and embarrassment? Weird color…
Gwen: NO! Bad idea. Bad, bad idea. Gross idea! Ewwww.
*Kevin still gagging on his soda*
Ben: I am not giving him mouth to mouth! That Bevin sketch was enough!
Me: Fine. *mumbles* Prudes. Next idea! So Gwen wakes up from her little "incident" and runs to you, Kevin, for comfort. So you guys are alone at his house—
Gwen: This isn't going to turn dirty right?
Me: Uhm... next idea! So Kevin happens to be entering your room via the window when he panics as he sees you unconscious. What can he do, what can he do? Sing! That's it! He will have to use the power of love and magic of song to bring you to full health!
Kevin: NOOOOOOO — Wait, am I singing something manly, like, from Hammer? Then maybe… eh, screw it. No.
Ben: You should put Julie in the script so I can get some action. Geez.
Me: *glares* That has nothing to do with the scene I'm working on.
Ben: So?
Me: URGHHH! I give up! No wait, I've got it! Gwen dies. The end. Happy?!
*I storm off the women's restroom. Silence is left at the table.*
Gwen: … *D:*
Ben: Sometimes I wonder if that girl has issues…
Kevin: Not for nothing but I kinda liked the second idea *pervy smile*.
Gwen: …?! I'm going to walk back to my trailer. Now. *Storms off*
Ben: Both of them? PMS?
Kevin: Definitely.
