And new chapter! Just a heads up guys, after having a talk with a fellow author I realize that my writing is well...a little bit awful...okay a lot awful so I decided to change things up a little bit and if you guys don't like it or want point out any other flaw in my story, tell me right away I am open to criticism...Anyway I don't own Ben 10, I wish I did but I only own my OC'S.

NOW LETS GET ON WITH THE STORY!

{Episode 5: Pier Pressure}

The story starts at night, where we see smoke coming off from the forest as we zoom in and see a large heavily damaged alien-like spaceship resting upon a large crater. For the moment all was quiet, until suddenly a small green/black blob-like alien slithered out one of the holes on the ship and fell down into the ground.

The small blob lifted up his "head" and looked around his surroundings curiously, before leaping out of the crater as it suddenly morphed its body into that of a dog and started slithering its way through the forest. After a few minutes of crawling around in the forest while avoiding large predators, the little alien suddenly found himself standing on the other side of a freeway as he saw a man in overalls trying to change the tires of his large red truck.

The little alien quickly slithered its way through the freeway and made its way over to the truck, while being careful to avoid the man's gaze as he shook his "tail" in preparation and phase into the truck. The man sighed tiredly as he swiped off the sweat from his forehead from the excessive work and was about to finally take out the tire, when suddenly he staggered back in shock as he saw his truck being covered with what appears to be a green/black blob and suddenly it drove off.

Trucker: "Hey! What do you think you're doing with my-?!"

He screamed, before stopping in mid-sentence as the truck turned his "head" at him and glares at the flabbergasted man fiercely. The trucker was staring at the bizarre scene with a confused look on his face as the truck made a U-turn and started driving up to him at high speeds

The trucker screams in terror as he tried to outrun the truck, but obviously it didn't work because the possessed truck easily catch up to him and jumped up into the air, the trucker shrieked in terror as he saw his truck's bumper opening up like a mouth, defying all logic as the truck roars and ate him whole.

{Time skip}

The story was then skipped as we see Vanessa and the gang sitting in one of the stands of The Bellwood Baseball Stadium, the only baseball stadium in all of Bellwood. Vanessa and the rest (Minus the boys as Kevin slept on his seat, while Ben run off to get some snacks) started cheering loudly as they watched Sarah entering the field, while wearing a standard baseball outfit. 3 weeks have passed since the whole DNAlien ordeal and Vanessa was glad to see her sister back to her normal self. After stopping the DNAliens from spreading their Xenocyte eggs throughout the country Vanessa decided to have Sabrina live with her at the Rustbucket, since Mikey didn't have a spare room in his house.

At first Sabrina was depressed and reclusive over the death of her mother and Vanessa was starting to get worried for her well being. She always stayed at the Rustbucket and rarely comes out, she doesn't talk to anybody but Vanessa and even then she hardly say anything to her, she barely touches her food and whenever Vanessa or the others tries to cheer her up, she just stares at them blankly and goes to her room, which is basically the upper bed of the twins bed (Think of it where ben and Gwen slept during the original series).

Running out of options Gwen suggested that Sabrina should have an activity or a hobby to take her mind off her mother's death. Vanessa quickly took her advice and started looking around town to find something that Sabrina will like and after walking around for hours, Vanessa finds a flyer on the wall saying that a team was looking for any applicants to join their team at the Little Baseball League.

Quickly ripping out the flyer on the wall she rushed over to her little sister and asked if she wanted to play baseball, Sabrina was skeptical of the whole idea but after coming to a few practices she…actually started to have fun playing the game, she even made friends with some of the members of her team. Today was her first official game and so far she was doing great...I mean she missed catching the ball a few times and fell on couple of occasions but otherwise than that she was having a blast.

Announcer: "And now entering the field is Sabrina Cunnigham!"

Vanessa: "Yeah! Go Sabrina!" She screamed as Sabrina waved at her enthusiastically and ran over to the game.

Zeda: "Well, aren't you happy?" She teased, while hiding inside of The Zennatrix so that no prying eyes can see her.

Vanessa: "Of course I am, I am so happy for my little sister. After the whole fiasco a few weeks ago I was getting kind of scared that the whole experience traumatized her, but after taking Gwen's advice Sabrina has been slowly getting better each day" She said before, turning over to Gwen as she gave her an appreciative smile. "Thanks for helping me Gwen"

Gwen: "Aw, it was nothing. Anything to help out a friend"

Ben: "Yo, yo, yo, snacks coming through" He said as he walked pass Gwen and sat beside Vanessa as he gave her a hotdog with mustard and gave Gwen a bag of peanuts. "So, what did I miss?"

Vanesa: "You made it just in time, Sabrina is batting at home plate and is the final inning, if she gets a home run she will win the game" She said, while eating her hotdog as Sabrina walked over to the home plate and raises her bat anxiously.

Ben: "Wait, they are going to play her now? When the game is about end? Oh man, can you imagine how nervous she is going to be"

Vannes: "Nah, I think she is going to be okay"

Zeda: "Are you sure master?" She asked, while butting in on their conversation as she gave her a worried look.

Vanessa: "Don't worry, she got this. She is a Cunningham remember, she wont get sacred" She said confidently as Zeda looked over to Sabrina and saw that her legs were shaking nervously.

Zeda: "Um, okay if whatever you say master" She said as the pitcher glared at Sabrina, who gulped a little bit as she tighten her grip on the bat. The pitcher smirked as he raised the ball over his head and throws it at her, Sabrina eyes widen as she lets out a yell and swings her bat, but sadly for her she missed the ball completely.

Catcher: "Strike 1!"

He screamed as the gang gasped, but Vanessa expression didn't faltered as she bit her lip and silently encouraged her little sister to continue trying. Sabrina pouted a little bit, before raising her bat again as the pitcher threw another ball at her and again she missed the ball completely.

Catcher: "Strike 2!"

Sabrina: "Ah, forget this, I cant do this!" She screamed as she threw her bat on the ground in frustration and started walking out of the station. Everyone murmured in confusion at her actions as Vanessa got up from her seat and ran over to Sabrina to check on her sister.

Vanessa: "Hey, hey, hey, where do you think your going?" She asked, while walking up to her as Sabrina frowned and looked down at the ground.

Sabrina: "Leaving."

Vanessa: "And what? Your going to give up just like that?" She asked as Sabrina sat down on the floor and hugs her knees together. "Hey, come on, what's wrong? Talk to me, please Sabrina"

Sabrina: "(Mumbles incoherently)"

Vanessa: "What's that? I didn't understand you"

Sabrina: "I can't do this! Its too hard and with all of this pressure on me, I'm sacred that I will fail and let the whole team down" She said, while looking at the ground as Vanessa shook her head and took off her glasses as she bends down to her sisters eye level and gave her a small hug.

Vanessa: "Hey, come on now. What this talk about failing the team? How do you know you will fail your team, when you don't even try?" She asked with a small grin on her face as Sabrina looked up to her, but said nothing. "Sabrina, what your feeling right now is completely normal, I go to the exact same thing everyday when I'm out saving the world with Ben and others. Look I cant assure you that you will win, but I can tell you is that isn't better to try something and fail, instead of not trying and wondering for the rest of your life if you would have win the game or not" She asked as Sabrina looked down at the ground, before looking up to her sister as she gave her a grin.

Sabrina: "Well, I think that I can give it a shot"

Vanessa: "Atta girl, oh and Sabrina. No matter what happens, you will always be a winner in my book" She said as Zeda appeared above the girls and raised an eyebrow at her master.

Zeda: "Wow, master that was really cheesy" She said as she and Sabrina giggled, while Vanessa gives the AI a look and crosses her arms.

Vanessa: "Really, Zeda? We were having a nice moment here" She said, before standing up as she put on her glasses and gives her sister a supportive look. "Now go out there and show the world what you are made off" She said as Sabrina ran off into the game, while Vanessa and Zeda (Who retreated back into the Zennatrix) headed back into the stands.

Ben: "Hey is everything okay?"

Vanessa: "Yeah, Sabrina just had cold feet, but I talked to her so everything should be fine" She said as Sabrina apologized to her coach and walk back to home plate.

Pitcher: "Oh look, the crybaby is back. Why don't you throw another tantrum and ran back to your mommy?"

He said, while laughing at her but Sabrina ignored him as she raises her bat and growls at him threateningly. The pitcher was taken back by this, but he quickly compose himself as he drew back the ball and threw it at her, time seem to slow down as Sabrina eyes narrowed at the incoming projectile and swiftly she swung her bat at the ball with all of the strength she could muster.

The crowd gasped in surprise as the bat made contact with the ball and it flew high up into the air, the crowd celebrated as Sabrina quickly ran all of the plates and won the game by a home run, Vanessa cheered as she ran out of the stands and hugged her sister tightly. Ben looked over at Vanessa smiling face and sighed happily, Gwen noticed this and smirked deviously.

Gwen: "You really like her, don't you?"

Ben: "Of course I do, she is my friend after all"

Gwen: "No, I mean that you like like her"

Ben: "What!? N-No I don't!"

Gwen: "You do, its so obvious! So, why don't ask her out already?"

Ben: "(Sighs in defeat) Alright fine, I do like her. But what if she doesn't like me back? Or what about if we go on a date together all alone and she will realize how much of a dork I am"

Gwen: "Ben your not a dork, your kind, sensitive and well mannered" She said, before looking over to Kevin who was still sleeping on his seat. "Unlike some people I know" She said with annoyed look, before looking over at the baseball stadium as she noticed that almost everybody were starting to leave. "Look the team is clearing out, now is your chance to ask Vanessa out!"

Ben: "Um, wait I'm not sure that's a good ide-" He said, before getting cut-off by Gwen as she grabbed his arm and started leading him towards Vanessa.

Gwen: "Okay, good luck!" She said as she pushed him towards Vanessa, but her push seem a little bit to strong since Ben nearly lost his footing, but luckily he caught himself in time as he sat up and saw Vanessa smiling up to him.

Vanessa: "Oh, hey Ben"

Ben: "Vanessa, hey, um I just came here to...congratulate your sister on her big win!" He said with an awkward chuckle as Vanessa beamed at him, oblivious to his nervousness as she ruffled her sister's hair.

Vanessa: "Yeah, I just knew this kid will win"

Sabrina: "It was all thanks to you, sis"

Vanessa: "Ah, I didn't do anything, it was all you. Now come lets go celebrate and buy pizza, bye Ben" She said cheerfully as she started walking off with her sister following close behind her.

Ben: "Um, right see you later" He said as he was about to walk off the field, but he stopped as he saw his cousin giving him a stern look and motioning him to go back to her. "Wait, Vanessa! I-I actually wanted to ask you something"

Vanessa: "Really? What is it?" She asked as Ben was about to man up and ask her out, but he noticed that Sabrina was still there.

Ben: "Oh, um I was actually wondering if we could talk alone"

Vanessa: "Hmm? Okay, if that's what you want. Hey, Gwen, can you take Sabrina back to The Rustbucket for me?"

Gwen: "I will be glad to" She said as she grabbed Sabrina's and walked off, but not before giving her cousin an encouraging look and a thumbs up. Ben smiled meekly at her, before feeling nervousness creeping up his body as he let out a shaky breath and looked up to Vanesa smiling face.

Ben: "Okay, so um, Vanessa I was wondering if...you wanted to go out sometime?"

Vanessa: "Sure" She said with an innocent smile on her face as Ben nearly faltered back on how easy that was, he thought asking a girl out will be a lot harder than that.

Ben: "(Grins widely) Really? That's great!"

Vanessa: "Yeah, so when are we and others are heading out on patrol?" She asked as Ben's grin instantly fell and he starred at her in disbelief, how can anyone be this oblivious?.

Ben: "No, no, Vanessa, you didn't understand me. I didn't mean going out with friends, I meant going out as in going out." He said as Vanessa tilted her head in confusion, before blushing madly as realization hit her on her face like a ton of bricks.

Vanessa: "Oh, oh, oh! Y-You mean like you and m-me, going on a d-date?" She asked, while twiddling her thumbs nervously as Ben nodded to her and looked up to her with a hopeful look on his face.

Ben: "Yeah, so...will you go out with me?" He asked timidly as Vanessa brain instantly shut down and she didn't knew what to say, thankfully for her Zeda came in to the rescue as she came out of the Zennatrix and appeared behind her master.

Zeda: "My master will love to go out on a date with you, isn't that right Vanessa?" She asked as Vanessa nodded slowly, with a dopey smile on her face.

Ben: "Great, so I was thinking that we could head to the pier. The place is practically empty, but the rides are still working"

Vanessa: "Uh, uh, uh" She said mindly as her mind couldn't comprehend what was happening, but luckily she was brought back into reality thanks to Zeda elbowing her by the side. "THAT WILL BE PERFECT!" She screamed a little bit too excitedly as Zeda elbowed her again and she coughed nervously, embarrassed by her sudden outburst. "I-I mean, I will love to go"

Ben: "Sweet, I will pick you up at seven!" He said as he waved at her good-bye and walked off the stadium.

Vanessa: "Bye!" She said with a love-struck voice, before getting a paled look on her face as her brain came back to full power and she realized what just happened. "Wait, what just happened?"

Zeda: "You just agreed to go out with Ben tonight at the pier"

Vanessa: "Wow, I cant believe it finally happen. I'm finally going out with Ben, I must be dreaming...wait, did he said he will pick me up at seven? That's five hours from now! That's not nearly enough time to get ready! I have to pick out an outfit, put on some make up and who will look after Sabrina while I'm off with Ben and-" She said, before getting interrupted by Zeda as the AI placed her hand over her mouth to shut her up.

Zeda: "Now why don't we deal with those problems AFTER we find the RV" She said, while shaking her head amusedly over her masters actions as they both walked out of the large stadium.

And done! Originally I wanted to make this story a little bit longer and wanted to put the part where Ben and Vanessa are getting ready for their date, but I figured this is the perfect place to leave off. Anyway I wanted to say I'm sorry if the whole baseball scene is not well explained, I don't know much about sports and I wanted Sabrina to play a sport that is not tennis, I don't want to make her too much like Julie, I want her to be as original as possible.

Anyway as always, I will talk to you all later.
