Two hours, twelve cans of sodas two bags of cricket chips. A container of meal warms and an entire pot of reheated octopus' gumbo later. They had finally reached the resort. As Ben and Gwen started to haul their stuff to their room. Gwen suddenly let out a loud burped surprising even herself.
"Oooh nice one!" Ben said laughing.
"No, it wasn't. Ooh my stomach is in nots how does grandpa eat that stuff. I." She said before being interrupted by another burp. However, this one was a lot louder and longer drawing the attention of several bystanders. Gwen's hole face turned red in embarrassment while ben just laughed at her. "Um excuse me." Gwen mumbled out before running off.
Ben following her once he could stop laughing. He found Gwen in their room face down on the bed with a pillow on her head. Ben considered saying something to her but instead, he decided to take advantage of the opportunity and pinched her but.
"Ahhg ben! What the hell ben!" She shouted throwing the pillow at Ben.
"Calm down I'm just having a little fun." Ben said placatingly.
"Yeah, at my expense!" Gwen growled only to have ben lean in smirking cheekily.
"Exactly." Ben said before shoving her, making her fall onto the bed.
Ben then started to unpack well as much as was needed. Ben had long since learned to not fully unpack his bags. He only took out the things he knew he would use leaving the rest in the bag. He had to grab his stuff and go enough times that he knew it was a bad idea to fully unpack when you might have to evacuate at a moment's notice. It was just one of the few down sides of being a hero. At the moment he was digging out his winter layers and his hand held game consul. He plugged it in and started to get changed.
"Ben! Go get changed in the bathroom you doofus." Gwen snarled with a faint blush creeping onto her face.
"No and why would I I'm wearing boxers. You see this much of me every time we go swimming. You can go into the bathroom both if you want to change and otherwise." As soon as Ben said that her face went very red before bolting for the toilet. Twelve cans of soda in two hours would do that to anyone. Though for Gwen it wasn't that simple she literally hadn't had to pee tell Ben said she could go and then it just hit her all at once. That raised all kinds of red flags, but she just found she didn't care about them. Mainly because Ben didn't and partially because she honestly believed she deserved it. She knew that was due to her new programing but again she couldn't make herself care. As she thought this there was a nock at the door and Gwen froze blushing darkly. She was naked and the door was unlocked he could just walk in and what was worse a small part of her she didn't understand wanted him to. However, Ben just knocked on the door again.
"Hey Gwen, you ok in there?"
"Yeah, did you need something." Gwen said still not moving.
"Naw just wanted to tell you to go light on your lairs. I want you to freeze your but off out their but not light enough to get frost bite or something. The last thing I need is you getting sick. So whatever you need to do I'll let you figure it out." Ben said before leaving the room.
Gwen sighing in relief before turning to her outfit she had laid out. She had underwear a thermal undershirt and leggings a sweater pant and a ski suit. So, to lighten her load like ben had ordered. She ditched her all her under layers. I.e. no panties braw undershirt or leggings. After having ditched as much of her clothes as she could and got dressed. Gwen felt odd not wearing anything under her outer wear. It was a little uncomfortable and embarrassing, but it was also a little exciting. Her mother would have a cow if she ever found out but that was a future Gwen's problem. For now, she needed to find ben unfortunately he found her first hitting her with a snowball.
"Ahg BEN!" She screamed wiping the snow off her face. While Ben just laughed at her.
"What did you expect. You took forever. So how did you pull it off?" Ben asked starting for the ski lift making Gwen blush.
"Well, I didn't have a lot of options. I mean I needed my ski Gear and my pants and sweater. So, I ditched my underlayers like my thermal wear and um my underwear." She said her blush darkening.
"So, you are just going commando? well I guess if that's all you could do oh well whatever. this is going to be awesome!" He said hopping onto the chair lift.
For the rest of the day Ben and Gwen raced down the slopes. Witch sadly was only a few hours still Ben and Gwen had fun skiing. With ben only transforming once to do a big foot impression and scare a couple making out in the bushes.
Ben and Gwen where now warming up in the visitor center with hot chocolate. Ben was on his second cup and Gwen on her ninth.
"God Ben, I feel like a tea pot. I think we might need to tone this down or I'm going to burst." Gwen said trying to cool off. It felt like she had a gallon of hot water in her stomach. As she filled her tenth cup.
"No, you need to get some self control. It's a craving you need to learn to ignore it or watch how much you drink." Ben said dismissively.
"Ok I'll try." She said putting her cup down and trying to cool off. As she did two girls in scantily clad bikinis walked by.
"Wow will you look at them. I didn't know this place had a pool." Ben said gawking at the girls.
"It figures you wouldn't have read the brochure. This resort has two pools. One heated one not heated a spa and a hot spring bath." Gwen listed off.
"A bath what's so special about a bath."
"It's not just any bath. It's a hot spring bath. It's like a large public bath with mineral rich water, aaand you don't care. Well simply put it's like a big hot tub minus the jets." She explained.
"Ok I. Weight do people actually bathe in there?" Ben asked getting an idea.
"Sort of it you soak in the bath. They have showers and stuff to actually wash in. Why? Are you actually interested in taking a bath?" Gwen said eagerly.
"No of cores not but it's a perfect opportunity to peak." Ben said with a cheeky smile.
"Peak? Peak in what?" Gwen asked not getting his meaning.
"Peak on the girls in the bath." He whispered.
"What BEN! Ben no we can't do that you will get us thrown out!" Gwen whispered angerly.
"Not if we work together. With your spells and the watch, we are golden and If that fails, we got this." Ben said pulling out the pocket watch. "All we have to do is grab everyone and zap them making them forget we wear there."
"Ok that could work but my answer still no. Ben Peeping is wrong." Gwen said putting her foot down. Though she knew if ben ordered her to do it, she couldn't say no. Ben frowned but then he looked down at the watch in his hand.
"Hay Gwen I just thought of a new command. Let's find somewhere to use the watch." Ben said getting up Gwen following him.
She had a bad feeling about this. At the same time, she also really wanted Ben to use the watch on her. Ben led her to the hotel elevator and hit the button for the third floor but as soon as the doors closed, he hit the stop button.
"Ok let's make this quick before someone notices we are in hear." He then hit the button on the watch hypnotizing Gwen. He wasn't going to have Grey matter to help him with this, so he was going to have to be careful with his wording.
"You will like girls like I do or like a boy would. You will want to peep and do stuff like I want to. Um and you will enjoy it?" Ben said before waking Gwen and checking how much of a charge he had left. He only had enough left for one maybe two uses if he was really lucky. As he did, he missed Gwen rocking back on her heals with a goofy grin and dark blush creeping onto her face. Right before she fell over, she snaped out of it righting herself.
"Wow that one was a rush." Gwen said putting a hand to her head. Her nose started to bleed again.
"Weird another strange reaction." Ben said looking at the watch.
"Remind me to use Grey matter to give you a checkup once we get back to our room."
"Ok bu….but I think I might need to lie down. Can we go to the room now instead?" Gwen groaned.
"Ok." Ben said starting the elevator.
A few minutes later the two returned to their room. Ben commandeered Gwen's computer to do his work on while Gwen laide down for a nap. A short time later Gwen woke up with wires attached to her as grey matter worked to clean up the equipment.
"Wow how long was I out for?" Gwen asked sitting up.
"About two hours." Grey matter said climbing on to the bed.
"Huh well what did you figure out?" Gwen asked sitting up.
"Well, it seems the watch doesn't work as advertised on persisting or long lasting commands. It takes time for them to set in as the neural pathways are being rewritten. On top of that the more the commands the more strain it puts on the neural pathways. We will have to wait a few days before I can use it on you again unless it's absolutely needed. Now help me pack this up before I turn back. My human form doesn't understand this equipment well enough to figure it out without breaking it." It took Ben three more rounds as grey matter and one as xlr8 to clean the equipment up and return it to the rust bucket.
"It's too late to do anything now." Ben groaned as he stared at the red dial of the watch on his wrist.
"Sorry." Gwen said apologetically.
"It's ok we will have plenty of time to do whatever we want too tomorrow. Grandpa said we'd be staying here for three days, right?" Ben asked retrieving his game.
"Yeah he did and I guess your right" Gwen said laying back down on the bed but after a short pause "Dang it Ben now I can't get the idea of naked girls in the bath out of my head." Gwen groaned covering her blushing face.
"Well, this might help get your mind off of it Gwen you can go to the bathroom."
Gwen shot up out of the bed running for the bathroom shouting. "BEN!"
