26. The First Date

A/N: Hi folks! I'm back once again! I've been a bit busier than this week with real life stuff, BUT that hasn't deterred me from writing this chapter! This one's been a long time coming and I'm pretty sure the title speaks for itself. So, without further ado, let's get into…

Chapter 26: The First Date

…..

Ben was looking over himself one last time in the bathroom mirror, making sure that he was as presentable as can be. He had a quick shower to wash away the sweat from the hunt earlier, as well as to calm his nerves a slight bit. It had been a while since he had been on a date, and to say he was slightly anxious was an understatement. He put his jacket and usual clothing in the wash and grabbed the new khakis and green polo that he bought at the mall the other day, recalling that Yang really liked the look. 'Maybe I should consider making this my permanent outfit from now on…' Ben thought to himself. But that was an idea for another time. He began to scrutinize his face, searching for any noticeable blemishes, speaking his thoughts as he did. "Let's see, hair's good, clothes are spick and span, and no Kansas-sized zits! Awesome!"

"I'd say so." In surprise, Ben whirled around to see Gwen standing in the doorway, a smile set upon her face. "I think it's safe to say that you've moved past the pimple phase of puberty, wouldn't you say?"

"Heh, I guess so." Ben turned back the mirror for a moment before letting out a sigh. "Gwen… do you think—"

"Ah-ah-ah!" Gwen put a finger to Ben's lips while giving him a small glare. "Don't you go getting second thoughts now Ben Tennyson."

"But what if—" he muffled out.

"Ben, please." Gwen pulled her finger away before putting her hands on her hips. "If Yang really didn't want to go out with you, she would've said so, right?"

"Well, yeah, I guess."

"And, if I recall, she DID say yes, right?"

"She did. I'm just… nervous is all."

Gwen gave him a sad smile. "It's about what happened with Julie, isn't it?"

Ben crossed his arms, though it was more him hugging himself than anything else. "Well… kinda. I've gotten over it, but I just don't know if I'm cut out for romance. My hero life gets in the way too much. I guess I'm just afraid that it'll happen again with Yang and me."

Gwen's sad smile turned into a smirk. "That, I don't think you have to worry about. Even though Julie and I were, and still are friends, I began to notice that she was quickly growing tired of the chaos of being the civilian girlfriend to world famous Ben Tennyson. But with Yang? I can tell that she's all for the hero life. It's like night and day"

Ben smirked back at her. "Or Yin and Yang?"

Gwen narrowed her eyes and lightly shoved his shoulder. "Alright, wise-aleck, enough with the puns. The point is, Yang likes you, you like her, so why run away?"

Ben took a deep breath, steeling his nerves. "You're right, Gwen. No more chickening out. It's time to grow up and get over myself!"

Gwen gave him a good-natured smack on the shoulder. "That's the spirit! Now go get her, man! She's waitin' for ya!"

"Right!" Ben marched right past his cousin and into the hall… only for Yang to come turning around the corner one second later. And the moment he set his eyes on her, Ben's breath was taken away.

Yang had exchanged her usual outfit for a pair of worn blue jeans, a long-sleeved yellow shirt that exposed her midriff, and a vintage brown leather bike racer jacket that was currently unzipped. She had also ditched her finger-less gloves and her scarf all together, though she had kept her Ember Celica on in their bracelet mode, hidden beneath her jacket sleeves. The only hold over from her usual outfit was her thigh-high leather boots, which pretty much already complimented the jacket perfectly. Yang gave Ben a smile as she met him in the hall. "Oh, awesome! You're ready! And you're wearing the clothes we got you from the other day, sweet!" She raised her arms up. "So, how do I look?"

At first, Ben couldn't find the words, he was too distracted by the incredibly beautiful young woman in front of him. Her outfit had somehow managed to capture her entire essence into it. The moment her question had registered however, Ben was able to find the right words. He let out a breath that he didn't even realize he was holding, and smiled back at her. "You've managed to put breath-taking and badass into the same outfit, and it's awesome."

Yang's eyes lit up and her smile widened. She quickly enveloped Ben in a hug and gave a joyful yell. "AH! Thank you! That's EXACTLY what I was going for!"

Ben chuckled as he returned the sudden hug. "Haha, well what can I say? You look spectacular."

"And YOU have a way with words, Green Boy." Yang gazed directly into his emerald green eyes, her grin unwavering. "So, you ready to go?"

"Yep, got everything I need." The two pulled out of their hug and Ben offered his arm. "Shall we?"

"Of course." Yang linked her arm in his and she glanced over to Gwen. "Don't wait up for us, okay Red?"

Gwen winked at the duo. "Wouldn't dream of it. Have fun guys, we'll see you later."

With a nod from both of them, Ben and Yang made their way down the stairs and were about to make their way to the front door… only to see both Weiss and Blake holding Ruby back, the Hooded Huntress desperately trying to break away from her teammates with a camera in her hand. "Oh, c'mon guys! Just one photo before they go, PLEASE?!"

Weiss quickly rebutted. "Ruby, please, it's not prom night! It'll only just embarrass—" But then she noticed the two enter the room. "Oh, hi guys." she waved. "You both look great!"

Blake took a hand off of Ruby and gave them a thumbs up. "Yeah, awesome. Now you might wanna get going before she gets free—AGH!"

That split-second thumbs up and wave was enough for Ruby to wriggle out of the girls grasp and send her toppling to the floor, though it also made her loose her grip on the camera and send it launching into the air. Yang managed to catch it before it hit the ground. The Blonde Brawler looked at the camera and back to her little sister, who wore a guilty expression as she stared at her. "D'oh, sorry sis. I just wanted take a picture." Ruby explained. "It's just been a while since you went out on a date and—" But she was cut off when Yang hoisted her to her feet and gave her a hug.

"And it's very sweet that you wanted to do this, Rubes. Thank you." Yang gave the camera back and went back over to Ben, slipping her arm around his shoulders. "Now take that picture!"

Ruby let out a gasp. "REALLY?!"

Weiss and Blake were shocked as well. "Really?!" They both asked.

Yang nodded. "Really. Whatever my sister wants, she gets. And in reality, I don't have a problem with pictures, just so long as this is the only time." She pointed to her sister. "Because if you start doing it for every date, then we'll have to talk."

Ruby held up a single hand, holding the camera in the other. "I solemnly swear that this will be the only picture I take for a date." She put her hand back onto the camera and held it up to her face. "Now hold still and smile!"

Yang glanced at Ben. "Ready?"

"Yep!" Ben put on his best smile and reached an arm around to mimic Yang's pose, carefully draping it across her shoulders.

Yang chuckled at his politeness. She very much appreciated him being a gentleman about it, but sometimes a little push was necessary. "Ben, it's okay if you want to put your hand around me, really. I'm not gonna get offended, you know." She took his hand in her own free one and placing it down near her waist. The bold move made Ben blush while Yang gave him a rather sly grin. "There, that's a bit more natural, wouldn't you say?" she said whilst giving him a flirtatious gaze.

"Y-yeah, I suppose it is." Ben stuttered. 'Man, she's just keeps surprising me.' The two turned their attention back to the camera and it flashed catching the moment in the electronic box. Ruby rushed forward and encircled the two in a double hug.

"Thanks you guys!" she exclaimed before pulling back out of the embrace. "Now have fun out there, okay?"

"You got it!" Yang turned back to Ben. "So, wanna try getting out of here again?"

Ben nodded. "Yep, let's hit it." The two linked arms again and headed out the front door, with the sound of a certain bike engine signaling their departure but moments later. Gwen came down the stairs, having heard the ruckus from all the way up there.

"What was that all about?" the Anodite asked.

Blake shrugged. "Eh, just the usual antics when it comes to Ruby."

Ruby narrowed her eyes at Blake. "Hey, you don't see me making a hassle about getting a picture of you and Sun, now do you Blake?"

Blake's eyes widened as a tiny blush made its way to her face. "T-that's completely different and you know it, Ruby!"

Gwen smirked as her hand moved to her chin. "Really? Because if I recall, you requested some advice from me earlier about that very subject Miss Belladonna." she leaned forward and quirked a brow. "Would you like to have that chat now, or later?"

This information got Weiss' attention. "Ooh, I get it. Finally trying to move in on the goofball, eh Blake?"

The bit of teasing only further flustered the cat girl, causing her to swiftly grab Gwen's shoulders and practically push her up the stairs in an attempt to get away from the awkward situation as fast as possible. "Now! We need that talk now!"

With a dead pan expression, Gwen merely allowed herself to be pushed against her will, figuring it'd be best not to agitate Blake any further. "Well, apparently this is now happening."

…..

As they made their way into town in the brisk autumn afternoon, Yang pulled Bumblebee over to the side of the road, right in front of a large brick pizzeria with a sign that read "Giuseppe's" over the double-doored entrance. She put the bike in park and both she and Ben dismounted, turning to face the establishment with equally hungry eyes. "Shall we?" the blonde asked her date.

"Of course." Ben immediately stepped forward and opened the door for her. "Ladies first."

"You are far too kind, good sir." Yang said while putting on a mock British-sounding accent, making them both laugh as a result. Ben followed her in and they were instantly met with a hostess who showed them to their booth a mere moment later. She handed them their menus and let them be while they decided on their order.

"So, which toppings speak to you?" Ben asked while peering past his menu. "Remember, this is all on me, so pick out whatever you wish."

Yang smirked back. "Well, if toppings spoke to me, I'd probably have second thoughts about eating them."

"Ha! I know, right?"

The two chuckled at the joke before Yang turned back to her menu. "No, but seriously, I'm thinking pepperoni and sausage. How about you?"

"Sounds perfect to me actually! You sure know how to pick your toppings." Ben scanned over his menu again and his face scrunched in disgust. "Ugh, they have both spinach AND broccoli for toppings here?"

Yang winced as she put her menu down. "Yeah, while I'm all about balanced diets, there are just some things you do NOT put on pizza."

"Exactly!" Ben put his menu down as well. "Man, after a day like today, this feels like the most normal thing we've done."

Yang shrugged. "Eh, I guess. To be honest, fighting bad guys feels like the new norm for me. After what happened at Beacon, it kinda feels like a fresh start, you know?"

"Yeah, though you're speaking with someone who's essentially had almost eight years of doing this under his belt, so I'm a bit jaded to it."

Yang quirked an eyebrow. "Really? No new surprises at all?"

"A few, having my secret identity exposed was one of them." Ben admitted. "But none of them are really enough to keep it fresh. That's why coming to this world has been so awesome to me. I'm excited to get a fresh start and see what I can find here. So really, I guess we're both getting something new out of what happened."

Yang gave him a knowing smile. "In more ways than one, am I right?"

Ben's cheeks turned slightly red at that. Though that didn't stop him from returning the smile. "Yeah, you're right. Hey… can I be honest with you about something?"

Yang's expression softened at his request. "Sure! That's kinda what being in a relationship is all about."

"Okay… I'm… I'm still a little nervous. I know I probably shouldn't be, but I am. I haven't exactly had much luck in the romance department."

Yang gave him a shrug. "Well, that makes two of us actually."

Ben's eyes widened. "Seriously?"

"Yep." Yang confirmed. "While I've been on plenty of dates in the past, none of them have really stuck around for that long."

Ben was flabbergasted. "I… I don't know what to say. Because quite honestly, you're an awesome fighter, you have the most positive attitude I've ever seen, and you're just an all-around great person! Why would anyone NOT want to date you?"

Yang gave him a grateful smile. "Well first off, thank you for those compliments. And secondly, I think those reasons are why people can get… intimidated by me." She glanced down at her menu and folded her arms on the table. "You know how it is, some people just can't get behind the idea of someone they like being tougher than them."

Ben reached over and gently grasped her right hand. "Well, I think it's pretty cool that you can do that stuff. In fact, I'm astounded by all the things you're able to do. Yang, you've flung me over your head, tossed Exo-Skull into an armored truck hard enough to make it break, and suplexed a Beowulf before snapping its neck immediately after. I bet there's a whole bunch of other amazing things you've done that I've never even seen. But what I'm trying to say in all of this…" he gave her his most genuine smile, "…is that you're incredible, Yang. And I mean that."

Yang grinned back at him, slightly tightening her grasp on his hand. "Wow, I guess I was right earlier. You really do have a way with words, Ben. Thank you. But don't sell yourself short either. As nervous as you're feeling, you're pretty awesome too. And not just because of the alien stuff. Because as nervous as you're feeling, you're also really brave. Both in a fight, and here at the table. And honestly, that's a big part of why I'm into you."

Ben's smile brightened up. "Wow, really?"

"Well, there's also the fact that you're really cute, funny, and really thoughtful." Yang gave him a wink. "But then I'd just be feeding your ego."

Ben let out a chuckle before giving her a wink of his own. "Thanks, Goldie Locks." It was at that moment that a waitress made her way over to their table, ready to take their order. They told her what they wanted for their food and drinks and she went back to the kitchen to place the order, leaving the two alone once again. Ben decided to bring up a new topic. "So, I guess your sister seemed pretty excited for our date, huh?"

Yang let out a small laugh. "Haha, yeah whenever I went out with someone back at Signal or from the local high school, she always got pretty excited. I think she just likes the idea of me finding someone who makes me happy." She let out a sigh. "And whenever I broke up with someone, she always got a little disappointed."

"Hmm, sounds almost like my cousin actually." Ben added.

"Heh, must be a family thing." Yang figured. "Still, it's good to know that they'll always have our backs, right?"

"Yeah, though I'd probably guess that you two have always had each other's backs, right?"

Yang gave a nod. "You're right. Since our mom died, I've done whatever it takes to make sure she's happy." she grinned as the revelation hit her. "I guess she wants to see me just as happy too."

"You guys are lucky to be sisters." Ben emphasized. "I kind of wish that Gwen and I had the kind of bond that you two have from the start. Would've saved us from a LOT of fights with each other over that summer."

"Maybe, but you guys have a great bond now." Yang reminded. "And something tells me that it's gonna stay that way." The waitress came back with their drinks and left the two again to go get their pizza, with Yang lifting her own drink immediately. "To family?"

Ben clinked his glass softly against hers. "To family." The two took a swig of their drinks before Ben bought up another subject that Yang had mentioned to him earlier that day. "So, you mentioned a road that'd be perfect for racing?"

Yang set her drink down before answering eagerly. "Oh yeah! There's this long stretch of road that goes up the eastern side of the island, perfect for just going fast." she gave him a smirk. "Think you can beat me, Green Boy?"

Ben shrugged, giving her a smirk of his own. "Maybe, we'll just have to see now, won't we? And After that, how does a movie back at the house sound?"

"Just the two of us, I'm guessing?"

"Yeah, just us. And it'd be your pick."

"Sounds great then." Yang concluded. "I can't wait to see what else you got in your collection." The waitress came out with their pizza and they thanked her before they each took a slice from the plate. "Now the ultimate question: do you cut your pizza, or wait until it cools to eat it with your hands?"

"I wait for it to cool down, of course." Ben answered. "I never understood why people cut pizza before eating it, it's a finger food for cryin' out loud!"

"YES!" Yang exclaimed. "Thank you! I get so annoyed it when Weiss and Blake cut their pizza. It's just not right." When the pizza was cool enough, but still perfectly warm to the touch, the two lifted their slices and did another cheer, lightly bumping the pizza slices against each other. "Down the hatch?"

"Couldn't agree more." The couple heartily began to eat their meal, with both of them fully taking comfort in each other's company.

…..

"I'm really sorry to make you wait like this." Blake apologized for the third time as she and Gwen sat on opposite sides of Ruby's bed, their backs facing each other.

"No, it's quite alright, take your time." Gwen reassured. "I told Pyrrha that I'd be a bit late for our Zelda session, so she's watching Ruby and Nora play Pokémon in the meantime. There's absolutely no rush here."

"Okay, thank you." Blake crossed her arms and gazed down at the floor, silently chastising herself for rushing the redhead up the stairs without collecting her thoughts first. She had been so intent on getting away from all the teasing that she had lost her focus on the other matter. She took in a deep breath and sighed, clearing her mind of all distracting thoughts. 'Alright, I think I've got it down.'

Gwen felt Blake rise from the other side of the bed and from the corner of her eye, she could see the cat girl coming around the bed before sitting down next to her, looking at her straight on. The Anodite merely smiled expectantly. "Yes? Can I help you?"

"You can. I mean, I hope you can." Blake shut her eyes tight before blurting out; "I'm interested in going out with Sun. But I just can't find the right words for it. I almost did this morning, but we were interrupted and I lost my nerve. It makes me feel REALLY unsure about this whole thing, and I want that to stop." She took a deep breath to calm herself down. "So what do you say, can you help me, Gwen?"

Gwen didn't respond with words at first, but instead with a simple hug. She let out a giggle before replying. "And here I thought you'd never ask." She pulled out of the hug before giving Blake a grin. "I'd be more than happy to help out. Because, believe it or not, I've actually been in your shoes, Blake."

Blake's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"

"Oh, you bet. See, when I was just beginning to realize my feelings for Kevin, I was a bit nervous at first. I thought to myself: "There's no way I could be falling for one of our former enemies. Sure, he's changed, but having feelings for him? Ha! Impossible". But then, a couple weeks went by and after a particular event involving Argit and the Rustbucket, I began to see Kevin in an entirely different light. And evidently, he began seeing me in the same way I was with him."

Blake tilted her head. "How could you tell?"

"Because I could see it in the way he acted around me. And honestly, I was kind of the same way. I eventually confronted him about it, asking whether or not he would ask me out. After that…" An unpleasant expression came to Gwen's face, as if she had just unearthed a memory that she didn't want to recall. "Well… some rather unpleasant events followed involving another person. Events that I don't think are appropriate for this conversation. Once all of that had passed though, we began seeing each other regularly. But the moment I knew he genuinely cared for me was when I was offered to got to Anodine with my grandmother, Verdona."

"The one who you said was an energy being?" Blake asked.

"Yep, she wanted me to come with her so that I could master my Anodite powers. And you wanna know what Kevin said about it?"

"Sure, what'd he say?"

Gwen smiled as she recalled the words her boyfriend had said that day. "He said, and I quote: "Why would you even think about it? I want you around. The whole thing's lame!"." Gwen took a moment's pause before continuing. "I gave him a kiss on the cheek that night after he said that."

Blake put her hand against her chest, having found the words incredibly moving. "That is SO touching, while at the same time being VERY Kevin."

Gwen laid down on the bed, her smile unwavering as she stared up at the ceiling. "Yep, and I wouldn't have it any other way." She glanced over to her Faunus friend. "Blake, tell me, did you ever have a moment like that with Sun? Where you realized he genuinely cared about you more than just a friend?"

Blake laid down next to the redhead, her hands still over her heart. "I think… I think it was actually when we were evacuating from Beacon about a week ago, right when we got to the docks. It wasn't in what he said, but what he did. He stayed behind with everyone else to make sure I made it back safe and sound. He waited for me. And yesterday… I almost lost him." Tears began to brim her eyes as she turned her head to face Gwen. "I… I don't want to waste any more chances, Gwen. Not if there's a chance he could… he could get hurt like that again." She let the tears fall, silently choking back any cries she may have had.

"Oh, Blake." Gwen sat herself up and pulled Blake up as well, giving her another hug to comfort her. "I completely understand where you're coming from. I know having feelings like these can be scary, and knowing what you've been through can't make it any easier. But you know what I find helps?"

Blake sniffed back a sob. "No, what?"

Gwen pulled out of the hug to look Blake right in the eyes, a confident expression set upon her face. "I always view my insecurities like a giant weight chained to my ankle. It's big, it's heavy, and quite honestly, it's irritating. But the thing is, nobody can really free me from it other than myself. Yes, other people can certainly help, like what I'm doing with you, but only I hold the key to my insecurities. It's all a matter of if I use it or not. I could let this anxiety control me, or I can free myself from it. So tell me, what do you want to do with your ball and chain, Blake?"

After a moment of silence, Blake furrowed her brows and clenched her fists, rising to her feet before giving her answer. "I… I don't want my fears to control me anymore! I've had it with running away from my problems!" She let out a sigh before continuing. "And… I want to be with someone that I care about."

Gwen stood up and smiled at her friend. "Great! So, how are you gonna do it?"

Blake gave it some thought before inspiration struck her like lightning. "Actually… I think that you may've given me an idea of how to do that, Gwen. You mentioned that you had asked Kevin why he hadn't asked you out at the time, right?"

Gwen nodded. "Yeah, I did. Are you thinking about trying a similar approach?"

Blake gave the redhead a smirk. "It's worth a try, isn't it? I mean, it worked for you, right?"

"Well, yes… but just be careful that you choose your words correctly, okay? You don't want him to think you're being pushy or rude. I'm sure that Sun has his own insecurities too."

Blake gave a nod. "You're right, I'll go over how I'll say it before asking." The cat-girl gave Gwen one last hug. "Thank you, Gwen. For everything."

Gwen reciprocated the hug instantly. "Hey, it's what I'm here for. Good luck." The two separated before the redhead let out a sigh. "Well, I guess it's time I head down to my Zelda session with Pyrrha. Wanna join in?"

"I would, but Kevin's holding another show marathon in the living room and he said it might be right up my alley."

"Really? Did he say what show it was?"

Blake put a hand to her chin. "I think he said it was… "Batman: The Animated Series"? Not sure why he had to specify that."

A smirk cam to Gwen's face. "Because it's based off of a comic book character. And yes, I've got a feeling that you'll ALL enjoy it."

…..

After they had finished their meal, with the leftovers strapped securely to Bumblebee, Ben and Yang went to the eastern side of the island. Presently, they were both preparing for their race. And while Yang was ready to go, Ben was doing some last-minute stretches before he transformed. So naturally, she thought it would be nice to have a little fun and tease him a bit. "Is that stretching necessary, Green Boy, or are you putting on a show for me?" she said in a cheeky tone.

Ben smirked over to her. "Hey, even if I'm in an alien form, I can still pull a hamstring. Trust me, I found that out the hard way."

"Hmm, well if you say so. But just so you know, I would've accepted either answer." Yang gave him a rather captivating smile and a wink. "Because in all honesty, I like what I see."

Ben's face was beet red, and his body had stiffened up. 'She… she likes what she sees?' Ben shook the thought away from his mind and he gave a response. "Oh, uh, thanks Goldie Locks…"

Yang put her hands on her hips, a giggle escaping her mouth. She went over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "What's wrong, Green Boy? Not used to gettin' admired that way?"

Ben stammered out a rebuttal. "W-well, not really actually… no girl has ever told me something like that before."

Yang shrugged. "Hmm, can't imagine why. You're quite the looker, Ben."

Ben smiled as found his confidence and returned her embrace. "Heh, well, I could say the same about you. Has anyone ever told you your eyes are stunning? And your hair? It's just amazing."

"Aw, you're so sweet! It's nice to know that the hard work on my hair doesn't go unnoticed." Yang then gave him a seductive look before drawing the hug in closer, causing their chests to press up against one another. "But are you sure there aren't any… other things you'd like to compliment?"

Ben's face went beet red. "I… I-I uh."

Yang burst out into laughter, loosening her hug on him a slight bit. "Ben, it's okay! I'm just teasing you a little." She focused back on him. "But seriously, thank you so much for those nice words, you're quite the gentleman. Now, what do you say we get on with the race, huh?"

"Uh, yeah, let's do it." Ben agreed.

"Great! And… for a little luck." Yang pulled herself up and gave Ben a peck on the cheek, causing his eyes to widen in shock. Yang gave him one last wink. "Let's get it started, shall we? First one to the nothern end of the island wins."

"S-sure." As Yang went back to her bike, Ben going over what just happened in his head. 'She… kissed me on the cheek… Holy crap, she kissed me on the cheek!' But he was pulled out of his thoughts when Bumblebee's engine roared to life, signaling the start of the race. Ben pulled up the Omnitrix and chose the alien he wanted before slamming it down, transforming into a black feline-like creature with blue fur covering his hands, feet, head and chest. The fur on his chest was shaped like a downwards lightning bolt and the fur around is hands and feet looked like gloves and boots respectively. Two black, mask-like fins covered his green eyes and the Omnitrix symbol was centered on his chest. "Fasttrack!"

Yang raised an eyebrow as she put her aviators on. "Just how many fast blue dudes do you have in that thing?"

"Considering that I have like, three, maybe four aliens that all use electricity, probably more than necessary." Fasttrack replied before assuming crouching position like that of an Olympic sprinter. "Now, ready?"

Yang revved Bumblebee's engine. "Set?"

"GO!" Both of them hollered before they zoomed down the highway. The duo rushed along the road at breakneck speeds, both of them keeping up rather well with each other. They moved with the road as it swerved, both of them careful not to get in each other's way while still being neck and neck. But, as they were speeding along, Fasttrack's feline-hearing picked up something approaching from behind. He briefly glanced behind him to see another car fast approaching, but what shocked him most was that there was a police cruiser on its tail, its siren wailing and its lights flashing.

"Hey Yang!" the Citrakayah called over. "We got some bogeys with the cops on their tail right behind us!"

"Really?!" Yang hollered back. "Let the getaway car pass us! I've got a plan!"

"Gotcha!" The duo split up to opposite sides of the road and slowed down slightly, letting the car pass before speeding back up. Just as the car drove in front of them, Fasttrack gave it the once over with his lightning fast vison, and he found something quite interesting in the back. An open bag filled with jewels. "Huh, seems like we got ourselves some opportunists. They must've gotten those jewels from the vandalized jewelry store!"

"Well, let's hope those jewels don't weigh them down to much!" Yang said as she pulled up along side them. "Take a look up ahead!"

Fasttrack did so and he saw a bend in the road that went around a marshy area to the right side. A smirk came to the alien's face. "Ah, I get it!"

"Knew you would!" Yang activated her Ember Celica and fired it at the front right tire, causing the car to veer in that direction and careen right over into the marsh. It skittered to the edge of the water and its front end splashed right in. Yang skid her bike to a halt and Fasttrack stopped right next to her. Yang propped Bumblebee up and got off before grinning at the Citrakayah. "So, how was that for a plan?"

"Awesome is what it was. Your knowledge of the road made it really work." Fasttrack turned back to the water's edge as two men began to get out of the car, one of them armed with a pistol while the other held the bag of jewels. "Now there's only one thing left to do."

"Yep, let's go!" Yang and Fasttrack rushed down to meet the two burglars, with the alien speedster heading straight to the guy with the gun in his hand. He took the gun out of the man's hand and immediately socked him in the face, knocking him out. Yang on the other hand had punched the other guy so hard that he was sent sailing back into the car, the bag of jewels flying out of his hand in the process. Yang caught the jewels as they fell, smiling proudly at their victory. "Ha! Piece of cake!"

In a flash of green light, Ben was back to normal, placing the perp's weapon on the trunk of the car before making his way over to Yang. "Definitely. But man, did it take me back! During that first summer, Gwen, Grandpa Max and I were always fighting small time criminals. Things were a whole lot simpler when I didn't have a rouge's gallery." He stepped closer to her. "But I say we make a pretty good team."

Yang gave him a smirk, setting the jewels down before giving him a hug. "That certainly makes two of us, Green Boy."

"Ahem." The sound of a feminine voice caused the two to turn around, seeing an auburn-haired policewoman standing right behind them. She had a smile on her face as she removed her sun glasses. "Well now, I guess we can say that this situation's been taken care of."

"Krista!" Yang exclaimed. "You were the one in that cop car?"

Krista gave a nod. "Yep, but it's not just me." She turned around and called out behind her. "Roy! We've got everything under control!"

"Awesome KB!" Roy waved as he came running from the cop car with a pair of handcuffs. As he approached, he also was able to see a familiar face standing with his best friend. "Yang?! You stopped the perps? Nice job!"

"Thanks, Roy." Yang said. "But it wasn't just me."

"I can see." Krista stepped forward, extending a hand to the green-clad hero as Roy started cuffing the two unconscious men. "Ben Tennyson, right? I've heard a lot about you from Blake. I'm Krista Burns, it's nice to meet you."

"Same." Ben accepted the handshake. "I heard about what happened earlier today. Thanks for helping our friends out back there."

"Hey, no problem, if anything, they helped us." Krista put her hand to her chin. "Though after what Blake explained to us, this past week is starting to make a whole lot more sense. So, were you the bug monster or the lava creature?"

"The lava guy. I call him Heatblast."

"And the fire at Signal?"

"One of my enemies, we were able to get her under control."

Krsita nodded as Roy began dragging the criminals to the car, reading them their rights even thought they were out cold. "I thought so. And now you guys've helped us again! Thanks a bunch. Those two managed to get past the barricades that were set up outside the jewelry store without anyone noticing. Jones is gonna get an earful from the chief when he hears about this.

Yang waved a hand. "Hey, it's the least we can do." She picked up the jewels and handed them over to Krista. "Here ya go! Pretty sure they're all there."

Ben picked up the pistol and handed it to Krista as well. "And here's that guy's weapon too."

Krista happily took the bag and carefully grasped the gun. "Thanks again. I… hope we weren't interrupting your date."

Ben's eyes widened. "Wait, how'd you know we were on a date?"

Krista rolled her eyes. "Well, besides the fact that you were hugging, I can tell a date when I see one."

"Trust me!" Roy called over as he pushed the two men into the back of the police car. "She most definitely can! It's like its her sixth sense or something!"

The three laughed at that before Yang spoke up again. "Well, we certainly didn't PLAN on stopping a couple criminals on our date, but I think we can safely say that we enjoyed it, right?"

"Oh, you know it!" Ben agreed. "It was like reliving a childhood memory."

Krista crossed her arms and grinned as Roy came back over to join her. "I'm sure. Blake told us about your unique abilities. We weren't able to see it, but you were an alien just now, correct?"

"Yep, I certainly was."

Krista and Roy shared a glance before their eyes went back to Ben. Krista began to ask the question. "Would you… possibly… maybe…"

But then Roy blurted it out. "Dude, can we see it?!"

"Roy! Don't be so rude!"

"Sorry KB, but after what Blake told us, I've been stoked to see one!"

"That's not exactly a good excuse to just up and ask it. We have manners for a reason, you know."

As the two went back and forth, Ben couldn't help but laugh a little. "Haha, guys, it's okay. I get this question all the time back in my dimension, trust me." The hero turned back to the half-sunken car in the marsh and began to scroll through his watch. "Alright, let's see… AH-HA! Perfect!" He slammed the Omnitrix down and Ben transformed into a tall, yellow and black silicon-based life form with tall pointy shoulders. His hands had two-pronged claws and his feet had two sharp toes. In between his shoulders was a metallic floating head with green eyes and a non-moving slit for a mouth, with the Omnitrix symbol located in the middle of his chest. His voice came out like it was from a radio. "Lodestar!"

Krista's jaw dropped. "Holy crap."

Roy put a hand to the top of his hat in disbelief. "Oh, that is so goddamned cool!"

Yang gave a nod. "It sure is. Now, I dunno what this alien's gonna do, but even then, I think we should all stand back." The officers did what she asked as Lodestar approached the vehicle. The Biosovortian pointed his hands at the car and from his claws projected a magnetic force powerful enough for him to lift the car directly out of the water and above his head.

"MAGNETS! How do they work, am I right?" Lodestar joked. He put the car down on the side of the road before transforming back to his normal human self. Ben took a bow after his little performance. "Ta-da!"

Yang clapped for Ben as she stepped forward to stand beside him. "Nice work, Green Boy! Awesome as always."

Krista put a hand to her forehead. "It's official, I have now seen everything."

"That was INCREDIBLE!" Roy shouted as he threw his hands up high. "I've never seen anything like it before! Thanks for showin' us, Ben."

"Hey, no problem." Ben waved. "Just happy to help. So, Blake told us you wouldn't tell anyone about my secret right?"

"Oh, of course." Krista assured. "If the rest of Remnant found out about this, there'd be mass panic. And we can't let that happen, not after what happened at Beacon." Krista gave the two a salute. "And again, thanks for helping us out tonight. Now we'd better get those two to the precinct before they realize what really happened."

Yang gave her a salute back. "You're welcome Krista, and thanks for keeping all this a secret."

Ben saluted as well. "Yeah, thanks a bunch."

"Of course. Well, we'll see you guys around!" Krista and Roy made their way back to their police cruiser, leaving Ben and Yang by themselves on the street corner.

"So… I'm guessing this means no one won the race." Ben concluded.

"Nope, but you know what? I don't mind one bit." Yang set her head on Ben's shoulder. "Because I had a hell of a great time. This HAS to be the best date I've ever been on."

Ben wrapped his arm around her. "I feel the same way. Easily the most fun I've ever had on a date. So, wanna head home and get that movie started?"

"Hehe, it's like you read my mind. Let's go, Green Boy" The two mounted onto Bumblebee and they sped back off to the house, both of them quite happy in how their date was going.

…..

"Alright, so you got it all up in your head, right?" Gwen asked one final time as she and Blake descended the staircase.

The cat-girl gave a nod. "Yep, I've gone over it plenty of times. After training tomorrow, I'll pull him aside, and ask him. No more turning back."

"That's the spirit!" The two rounded the corner to see nearly everyone gathered in the living room and facing the holographic TV, with the exceptions being Jaune and Pyrrha who must have been down stairs. Weiss was also absent, though Gwen couldn't imagine where she could be. Ruby and Nora however were not really paying attention to the TV, instead having buried their faces in the two 3DS's while they sat on the floor. Ren and Neptune had taken the chairs while Kevin and Sun sat on opposite ends of the couch

Sun noticed their entrance and waved over to them. "Blake! Gwen! You're right on time, we're just about to get started!"

As Blake entered the living room, Gwen waved back to the monkey boy. "Thanks Sun, but I've got a gaming session downstairs to get to, so I'll have to pass."

"Hey, no prob, hope you guys down there have fun." As Gwen went down into the basement. Sun turned to face Blake as she sat down next to him in the middle of the couch, giving her a grin. "So, you'll be joining us then?"

Blake nodded. "Yeah, Kevin said I'd like this show, and after I was proven wrong by Dragon Ball, I thought, "Eh, why not?". I mean, it can't hurt right?"

"Awesome! I'm glad you're in."

Blake smiled as she got comfortable on the couch. "Yeah, so am I."

Kevin pulled out the remote. "Alright, everyone ready?" The room gave a unanimous "yes" while Ruby and Nora simply waved from their game-induced trance. Kevin rolled his eyes at that. 'See, this is why I don't play Pokémon. It takes your life away.' But then a smirk came to his face. 'Well, they won't be like that for long. The intro alone will make them wanna watch this cartoon.' Kevin called back. "Alright, let's go!"

Kevin pressed play and immediately an orchestral piece began to play, with the image of a gold and blue logo backdropped by clouds appeared on screen. It was shaped like a shield and had the letters WB on it with the words Warner Brothers Animation wrapped around it. But the shield quickly faded away into a blimp with two large spotlights singing down from it. The music managed to get the girls to glance up from their game. The shot on the TV panned down to a dark, stylized city scape before focusing solely on a bank. Two shadowy men in trench coats and fedoras walked out in front of it before disappearing from view. Instantly, the front of the bank exploded with fire, causing the music to pick right up while the two criminals ran away from the bank.

The intro cut to a heavily customized black car with what appeared like a jet engine on the back. That was the moment that Ruby and Nora were focused directly on the television. The car sped off while the two criminals were being chased by a police car down an alley way, forcing them to climb up a building to get away. But the moment they reached the top, they were met by a dark, imposing figure in a cape and cowl, with what seemed to be a pair of tall bat-ears on either side of his head. The man narrowed his eyes at the criminals pulled out their weapons.

At this point, everyone was completely entranced, all of them silently in awe at what was happening. The caped man threw a bat-shaped boomerang at the pair's hands causing them to drop their weapons. The man lunged at them and tackled one to the ground. The other criminal attempted to punch the shadowy figure, but he simply weaved out of the way. The guy threw two more punches before the caped man threw one powerful punch of his own, knocking the perp out.

As the cops finally made it to the roof, the blimp shined its spotlight onto the two men, who had been tied up by the dark figure. The shot panned up to the caped man standing on the roof of a building as lightning struck in the background. The flashed provided a more detailed look at him, showing that his cape and cowl were as black as night with gloves, boots, and tights to match. The rest of his suit was primarily grey while he wore a yellow utility belt around his waist. Finally, in the center of his chest, was his symbol, a bat surrounded by a yellow circle.

Kevin gestured his hand toward the television. "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: Batman: The Animated Series."

With their jaws dropped, Ruby and Nora both saved their game before going back to the TV. "More of that, please." Ruby said simply.

"Yep, I'm hooked!" Nora added.

Neptune slowly nodded. "Yeah, same here."

"That intro was so awesome!" Sun said. "The rest of the show'll probably be even cooler than that! What do you think Blake?"

Blake's lips were parted slightly, her mind still processing what she had seen. "I think… I might've found my new favorite show."

…..

As Gwen made her way down the stairs, she could already hear sounds of gameplay coming from the TV, signaling that Pyrrha had already begun. When she reached the bottom, she saw that was indeed the case, as the Invincible Girl was making her way towards Hyrule Castle. Sitting next to her on the couch was Jaune, watching the TV intently while Weiss was sitting in the recliner next to them, reading a book. Gwen decided that now would be a good time to make herself known. "Hey guys! Getting started without me?"

The three turned around, with Pyrrha greeting her with a wave and a sheepish grin. "Hello, Gwen. I apologize, I just grew tired of waiting."

"Hey, don't worry about it, I understand completely." The redhead gazed to Jaune and then Weiss, I'm just surprised you two skipped out on the Batman marathon upstairs."

Weiss shrugged. "Eh, I've never really been into superheroes all that much." The heiress focused back on her book. "Doesn't interest me in the least."

"Believe me, I would've LOVED to watch Batman," Jaune added, "but I also kinda want to see where this game's story goes. Besides, since Yang hasn't watched either, we can all just see it with Ben on our own time."

"Fair point." Gwen conceded. Her eyes were drawn back to the TV as Pyrrha approached Hyrule Castle, the sky becoming quite stormy. "Oh boy, here we go." The screen faded to black as a new cutscene began to play.

"W-wait, what's going—" But Pyrrha cut herself off when the drawbridge to Hyrule Castle lowered and out ran a white horse carrying both Impa and Zelda on its back. As the horse stormed past Link, Zelda turned around on the horse and tossed something small and blue back at him, the object landing in the moat. "What are they running from?!" Pyrrha asked.

"You'll see." Gwen replied. "In three… two… one." On the screen, Link whirled around to see Ganondorf on his black horse, the music spiking with intensity at the villain's reveal.

Pyrrha's first instinct was to question the fictional man. "You MONSTER! What have you done?!" After reading through the Demon King's dialogue and getting blasted by dark magic, Pyrrha could hardly believe what had just occurred. "I-I don't understand! I gathered all three Spiritual Stones like the princess told me to! How did this happen?!"

"Well, this is what happens when a king puts his trust into someone who is CLEARLY evil!" Gwen elaborated. "He gets his castle attacked and forces his daughter away. Meaning that you have more work to do. Now, why don't we see what the princess was so eager to throw away."

"Oh! Right!" Pyrrha made Link dive into the moat and swim to the bottom, collecting the trinket. The blonde boy swam back up and held it over his head, the prompt reading; "You found the Ocarina of Time!" Pyrrha's eyebrows shot up in realization. "Ah, I was wondering when the game's title would start to come into play."

"Yep, and that means the game's plot can REALLY start to get rolling." After receiving the telepathic message from Zelda and learning the Song of Time, Gwen instructed Pyrrha to head to the Temple of Time. Once there, Pyrrha set the three Spiritual Stones on the altar and played the Song of Time, opening the massive doors. And behind the doors was… "There it is, the Master Sword." Gwen said. "The Blade of Evil's Bane."

"Okay, now that's a badass title for a sword." Jaune admitted.

"But it's taller than I am." Pyrrha pointed out. "How can I wield it?"

"There's only one way to find out, isn't there?" Gwen countered.

Pyrrha nodded and approached the sword, activating a new cutscene. Link took the sword from its resting place and suddenly, a blue aura surrounded the pedestal, causing the Triforce symbol to start glowing. The screen faded to white before Ganondorf reappeared from nowhere, the evil man expositing that he had followed Link into the temple and inadvertently allowing him access to the Sacred Realm. "Oh, for god's sake!" Pyrrha hollered.

"Hold on," Gwen advised, "it's not over yet." The cutscene continued as Link's vision returned, only to see an old man in red and orange robes standing in front of him. After introducing himself as Rauru of the ancient Sages, he told Link to look at himself. The shot cut to a slightly older looking Link, now in his late teens.

Needless to say, Pyrrha was caught off guard. "Oh my… that… is quite the growth spurt."

Weiss glanced up from her book and at the screen. "Hmm, I'll say. Puberty hit him like a truck, but it was certainly kind to him."

Jaune raised his hand. "Question though, where'd he get the change of clothes? Those can't be his old ones. Also, who pierced his ear?"

Gwen was about to answer… but she realized that there WAS no answer. "Huh, you know I never thought of that."

"Who cares?" Pyrrha rebutted. "I look AWESOME!" After another long bit of exposition telling her about the seven yearlong sleep and her new quest to find the remaining Sages so that the evil of Ganondorf could be contained, Pyrrha was transported back to the Temple of Time, now in adult form. "Alright, once more… let's get out there and save Hyru—Is that a ninja?"

…..

After pulling in the driveway and dismounting Bumblebee, Ben and Yang went right for the door, thankful to be back home after a rather eventful afternoon date. The hero opened the door, allowing his date to be the first one in. "Your humble abode, m'lady."

With small chuckle, Yang held his hand and made a slight bow. "Why thank you kind sir." she mimicked. The duo laughed at their own hijinks before going inside, only to find the living room buzzing with excitement. The two peered inside to get a better look at what was going on, only to see their friends watching TV. But it was actually on the TV that got Ben's attention;

"I am vengeance! I am the night! I am Batman!"

"Oh man," Ben whispered, "they're watching Batman without us?"

"What's Batman?" Yang whispered back.

"I'll show you tomorrow. We can make a day out of it." Ben reassured.

Yang smirked at him. "Don't you mean a day-te?"

Ben smiled back. "The puns never stop coming do they? But yeah, I think that'd make a great second date." The two snuck past the living room and made it to the stairway for the basement. As they stopped in front of it, Ben gently took hold of Yang's hands with his own. "Hey, I just wanted to say that I had a great time tonight. I haven't had this much fun in a while."

"Aw, that's sweet." Yang said while giving him a hug. "I had fun too. And I'm glad were doing it again tomorrow."

"So am I" Ben hugged back. But then his eyes widened in realization. "Oh man, how're we gonna tell your dad?"

"Don't worry about that, I'll handle my dad." Yang assured. "But honestly, I don't think you'll have to worry about him. I can tell that he trusts you well enough."

"Heh, good to know I'm probably on his good side even before we started dating."

"I know, right?" Yang and Ben pulled away before the blonde made her way to the upstairs staircase. "Well, I'm gonna go change into something comfy. Meet you downstairs in a few?"

"Of course, see you in a bit." Ben watched as Yang ascended the stairs before letting out a sigh of content. He smiled as he reached for the basement door handle, ready to head downstairs. But the moment that he opened it, he was met with the sounds of excited shouts and hollers, taking him aback.

He made is way downstairs only to see that it was coming from Gwen and Jaune as they cheered Pyrrha on. From what Ben could see, Pyrrha had made it through the Forest Temple in the time that he and Yang had been on their date, and she was now battling Phantom Ganon, the fight basically boiling down to a match of energy tennis. But the moment Pyrrha struck the final blow, the Invincible Girl pumped her fist into the air. "Yes!" she exclaimed. "That was for the princess!" Pyrrha collected the Heart Container and went into the blue aura, transporting her out of the temple.

Ben smirked before heading downstairs and making himself know. "Wow, looks like you guys are having fun."

Everyone turned around, the sight of Ben taking them by surprise. "Ben! You're back already?" Gwen asked. But then her mouth turned up into an eager grin. "How was the date? Did you guys have fun?"

"Gwen, the date was amazing. We had such a great time. We even busted some criminals who were making off with some jewels!"

From her chair, Weiss' eyes widened in surprise. "Wait, what?! You two went crimefighting on your date?!"

"Well, it wasn't so much as we WENT crime fighting. It's more like the crime found us by random chance." Ben explained. "But let me tell ya, we had a great time while stopping it! And our date isn't even technically over yet. That being said… I promised her that we'd watch a movie tonight… by ourselves."

Gwen quickly caught on. "Ah, you guys will need the basement. I get it. Pyrrha? I think it's time to save."

Pyrrha nodded in understanding. "Of course, let me just get through this last cutscene and learn this song." After learning the Prelude of Light from Sheik, Pyrrha saved her game and shut the system off, taking the game cartridge out of the system. "There you are Ben, the television is now free for you two to use." She got up and turned to her partner. "Jaune, perhaps we should start getting ready for our blade training later. What do you say?"

Jaune rose to his feet as well. "Sounds good to me." He waved as he and Pyrrha left the room. "See ya later guys!"

Weiss picked herself up out of the chair and made her way to the staircase. "I'd better leave too then. Don't want to be in the way, after all. And Ben? I'm very glad you two had a good time today. Have fun with your movie."

"Yep, thanks Weiss!" Ben watched as the three Remnant teens climbed the stairs, only to be lightly elbowed by his cousin. "Heh, yes?"

Gwen just winked at him. "Oh, nothing. I'm just happy you guys had fun." The Anodite climbed the stairs, giving her cousin a look of encouragement. "As for myself, I think I'll go watch a few episodes of Batman with everyone else for a while. Enjoy your movie, okay?"

Ben gave her a thumbs up. "We will. Thanks, cous'." Gwen returned the gesture before making her way up the stairs, smiling to herself the entire way.

'I'm VERY proud of you Ben.' she thought to herself.

…..

A few minutes later, after Ben had changed into a simple green t-shirt and black gym shorts, Yang came strolling down the stairs in her signature orange tank top and a pair of her own black shorts. The moment she reached the bottom, she saw that Ben had already gotten the popcorn ready, with a six pack of soda sitting next to the couch as well. Yang spotted the hero setting up the DVD player with his back toward her, and a smile instantly came to her face. She quietly snuck up behind him and put her hand around his eyes. "Guess who?"

"I don't think I have to." Ben said as he reached up and grasped her hands in his, turning his body around so that he was facing her. "Hey."

"Hey yourself." Yang countered. "So, we ready to get started?"

"Almost, the last part is all up to you." Ben waved his hand over to the DVD cases. "You've got lots of things to choose from, and it's all fair game."

"Sounds good to me." Yang reached for a random case and began flipping through it. Nothing seemed to catch her eye at first, but then she stumbled upon a disc whose title seemed… familiar to her. It was a greyish-blue disc depicting artwork of a roaring monster that appeared to be submerged underwater. But while the artwork was an attention grabber, it was the title that she saw first. For there, written in bold white lettering was the word… "Godzilla? Wait a second, I know that word." Yang focused back on Ben. "That's how you described what Beacon looked like during the attack. "Godzilla's last stomach ache" I think you said it was?"

"Oh yeah! You're right, I did." Ben pointed to the disc in question. "That's actually one of my favorite classic movies. It actually has a lot of history behind it."

"Really?" Yang shifted her eyes back to the disc, focusing in on the small print that was inside of the title font. "Is that why it's in… the Criterion Collection?"

"Yep, and that one disc has a whole bunch of special features on WHY Godzilla's so important."

Yang grinned as she pulled the disc out of its sleeve. "Well then, I think I've made my decision. I'm always up for a good monster movie!" She knelt down and put the disc inside of the DVD player, the machine reading the disc the moment she put it in. Yang shut off the lights before strolling over to the couch. She sat down and pat the seat next to her. "Ready, Green Boy?"

"You betcha, Goldie Locks." Ben sat down next to her, laying back on the couch before she scooted closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder. He gave her a smirk. "Well, are we all comfortable now?"

"Aren't you?" Yang retorted playfully.

"You're something else, Yang, I gotta admit."

"Yeah, so are you." She nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck. "But I like you that way."

Ben rested his head against hers. "Yeah, I like you that way too." He pressed play and the movie started, the Toho logo appearing while heavy footsteps were heard in the background. The title of the movie rose from the bottom of the screen, written in a language that Yang didn't entirely recognize before subtitles at the bottom of the screen appeared, translating it as Godzilla with the word (Gojira) appearing in parenthesis beneath it. Just then, a loud roar came from the TV.

"Whoa, okay, that has to be the COOLEST roar I've ever heard!" Yang said.

Ben nodded. "Yeah it is. But believe me, we're just getting started."

…..

A/N: And there you have it! The first date between our lovely couple, with more to come in the near future. I have to admit, I had fun writing this chapter, even though the rest of the past week was a big cluster concerning everything else in my regular life. But things have settled down now, so no worries. And yeah, I had to show them the original Godzilla first. It's simply classic. Also, yes, Batman TAS is a big one too, my second favorite DCAU show, right behind Justice League. But that being said, Next Time! We'll see how that movie went while Jaune and Pyrrha start getting back to their sword training. But the next day will be the beginning of something entirely different for our favorite blonde knight as he goes off with Pyrrha, Kevin, and Ruby to forge a brand-new blade with the help of a certain teacher from Signal. Thanks for reading! See ya!
