I do not own Ben 10. Well, since that's out of the way, lets move on….
"FIRE"
Ring….Ring….Ring….
Rath: Hellooooo…..
Kevin: Hey, Tennyson. I think your house is on fire!
Rath: WHAT? WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
Kevin: Cuz, I can see your fat head on the 6'oclock news.
Rath: LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN' KEVIN E. LEVIN-
Kevin: Yeah, yeah. You will bash my head in, or shove somethin pointless down my throat. I got it. But dude, your house is still on fire!
Rath: OK! I KNOW! SO WHAT DOES RATH DO ABOUT IT!
Kevin: Ok, just relax, Benji. Just go into your bathroom, plug up your bathtub, and let it fill up. Whatever you do, do not shut the water off. Let it constantly run. That way, the water will put out the fire.
Rath: YEAH! I GOT IT! UH, THANKS!
Kevin: Sure, no problem, man.
Kevin gets off the phone, and proceeds to laugh at the good deed he did for his best pal Rath.

"Kevin Ethan Levin!"
Kevin rolls out from underneath his car to glance up at the angry red head before him. He didn't know how the girl could mysteriously show up at his garage with out making a sound. It amazed him every time she did it.
"What?"
Gwen just stands there, making sure she chose her words wisely, and to try and calm herself down, before she spoke.
She heavily sighs.
"On my way over here, I received a frantic phone call from Ben. Saying something along the lines of , his fat head being on the news, a fire, the bathtub, and now his house is completely flooded! You wouldn't know anything about that…. Would you Kevin?"
Kevin chuckles to himself. But made sure it was low enough for Gwen not to hear.
"No. Why would I know anything about that? I haven't seen or talked to Ben all day."
Gwen raises a brow at her boyfriend. Truly unfazed by his fake innocence.
"Uh huh… So tell me… Where did Ben get the bright idea, to put out an imaginary fire by filling up the bathtub?"
Kevin was suppressing his laughter. But being a former con man, he was good at keeping up certain appearances. It was what he was good at.
"I don't know! Maybe he saw how to do it on one of your lame educational programs. Or maybe, just maybe, it was his own dumb idea. Lets face it, he isn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box, Gwen."
The girl rolls her eyes. Now she knew Kevin had been up to this. He went on the defensive too quickly. Hanging around the boy day in and day out, gave her the advantage of knowing Kevin all too well.
"I know you did this to him Kevin! You need to go, and help Ben clean up the mess in his house, that you helped create!"
Kevin stares the girl down. Sure, he did it. But he wasn't going to cave into her demands that easily. Nope, he made up his mind. He was not going to give in.
"No."
Gwen sighs again. She didn't know what possessed Kevin to do this. But she felt it was her job to get to the bottom of it, and fix it. This was what she was good at.
"Just tell me why, Kevin. Please."
This time she said please, and on top of that, put on her sad, pout face, the one she knew Kevin couldn't shrug off. It has worked many times, when she wanted to get an answer out of the boy.
…Crap…
Kevin lets out a low growl. "Fine…" He sighs. "Remember yesterday, when Ben faked sneezed on the back of my head, and left smoothie all over the back seat of my car, and my hair, just as a… what'd he call it? Oh yeah…" He glares back a Gwen. " A joke? ….That's why."
Gwen was trying not to laugh at Kevin. She, after all was more of the 'adult' of the trio, but still, the joke Ben pulled was kind of funny. Though she did feel bad for Kevin.
"Kevin, I'm sorry that Ben did that to you. But seriously, did you have to ruin his parents house to get back at him?"
The older teen just smiled. Paybacks sucked when coming from Kevin Levin. Rath should've known better not to have messed with a professional.
"Yes."
"Kevin!"
The boy just rolls his eyes. So much for not caving into the girls demands. Yeah, that worked. Way to go there Kevin.
"Fine. I'll go. Not because I feel guilty about it. Cuz I don't. The little twerp got what he deserved."
Gwen smiles at the older boy. She knows that's the best she was going to get out of him.
"Thank you Kevin."
Kevin looks to girl and grins.
"Yeah, yeah. Lets go help out your dweeb of a cousin. Though, you have to admit, it's pretty funny how he was too stupid to figure out that his house really wasn't on fire. I mean, a normal person would have at least smelled smoke.
Kevin pauses for a moment, and turns to Gwen.
Or, maybe he had another booger the size of Kansas again, and It clogged his senses, or somethin."
Gwen just looked at him confused. Why was Kevin rambling on about something as nasty as Rath's boogers? Her conclusion on this matter? Boys -were -disgusting….
Laughs to the people,
The Spoon.
