And new chapter! Sorry it took so long, but I was busy with exams and I didn't have time to study and make a new chapter. It took me like 5 days to make this chapter that's how busy I was, I blame my teachers...anyway I don't own anything from Ben 10, only my OC's.
NOW LETS GET ON WITH THE STORY!.
The story starts with Ben and Vanessa walking through the entrance of the pier and just like Ben said, the place was practically a ghost town! The young couple walked a little bit further into the pier, while looking around their surroundings as they saw that the only people that were present on the pier beside them were the staff and they look like they would rather be anywhere else than here.
Besides the place being more empty than a library, Vanessa was still excited for the upcoming date. She still couldn't hardly believe what was happening right now, a few months ago she was living off on the streets on her own trying her very best to survive the cold nights and here she was going on a date with a boy of all things! Her life has defiantly gotten better ever since she met Ben and the others and she couldn't express how grateful she is to them, who knows how her life would have turned out if Sherriff Manson hadn't arrested her that day, she owes a lot to that man…even though one of his deputies ran her over like a deer on the side of the road, yeah she was still pissed off about that.
Ben: "Listen, sorry about Kevin."
Vanessa: "Nah, don't worry about that. I know how much of a jerk he can be, besides it was kind of cute to see him trying to embarrass you on our date"
Ben: "Cute?"
Vanessa: "Yeah! You guys act like brothers, it's adorable!"
She gushes as Ben looks at her like she grew a second head.
Vanessa: "Oh, come on, don't act like you didn't thought of it! Imagine how your life will be like if Kevin was your big brother!" She asks as the omnitrix bearer though for a moment, before shuddering as he shook his head in disgust and fear.
Ben: "That's a life that I WILL never want to live in" He said as Vanessa laughs at the face he made, Ben rolled his eyes at her before getting a confused look on his face as he noticed something different about the young zennatrix bearer. "Hey, I just noticed something, you aren't wearing your glasses or your hat!"
Vanessa: "Oh, yeah. Gwen wanted me to look as normal possible for our date, so she told me to take them off. At first I didn't want to remove them, because I didn't want anyone to see my scar...especially you" She said, while saying the last part quietly so that Ben wouldn't hear, but surprisingly he did as he turned around and gives her a serious look.
Ben: "Vanessa I want you to look at me for a second and listen carefully to what I am going to say" He said, while grabbing her shoulders as Vanessa looked up to him in surprise but nodded nonetheless. "I don't care how you look like or what others say about your scar, you will always look beautiful to me, scar or no scar" He said as Vanessa nearly got teary eye at what he said, but managed to stop herself from crying of joy as she threw out her arms and hugged him.
Vanessa: "Thanks, Ben"
Ben: "Your welcome, Vanessa" He said with a small smile as Vanessa lets him go and dried off her tears. "So, what a slow night, this place is normally packed on the weekends!"
Vanessa: "Good" She said, while sniffling as she linked arms with Ben and interlocked her fingers with his. "That means we can have the whole place to ourselves"
She said with a smirk as Ben blushed at the feeling of her hand, but nonetheless nodded to her as she grins and started pulling him over to one of the stands.
{Time Skip}
The story then skipped as we see the young couple laughing at each other as they sat on a bench chair, wiped out from all the fun they had. The young couple were excited for their first date and did not wanted it to go to waste so they literally ran back and forth across the whole pier to try out all of the games, while getting to know each other along the way.
The first thing they did was play Basketball and Vanessa was rather surprised to see Ben make all of the shots in one try, he said that his grandpa taught him a few tricks when he was a kid. When the game was finished they went over to play Ring Toss and Vanessa expertly threw all 5 rings into each bottle's like it was nothing, Ben looks at her astonishingly as she said that after years of practicing on how to use her sword with her uncle, it had enhanced her senses.
After picking out the stuff monkey she wanted Ben decided to try Duck Shooting, normally this game will be pretty easy to anyone considering the ducks were so big that if you just shoot at the center you take out 5 ducks. But sadly unlike her mother Vanessa was never really good with a gun, she was more of a sword/hand-to-hand combat kind of girl but luckily Ben came to the rescue and help her with her aim...plus having Ben that close to her was a huge bonus.
Vanessa giggled as Ben handed her a huge stuffed panda and headed off to the next game, she was about to follow him when suddenly she felt a whoosh coming from behind her. Vanessa raises her eyebrows suspiciously as she turns around but saw that nothing was there, Vanessa bit her lip thoughtfully before shrugging as she ran back over to Ben, trying to ignore the weird feeling she had been having ever since they entered the pier.
Later on they tried out all sorts of games, including Ring the Bell, which cause Vanessa to nearly doubling over in laughter at seeing Ben trying to be "manly" as he barely even lifted the mallet. After that they played Balloon and Darts, which once again Vanessa excelled at thanks to her enhanced aim. They also played shooting gun, which cause Ben to help her again but she didn't mind one bit, then they played Whack-a-Mole which was apparently Vanessa's favorite game because it reminds her of those old cartoons she used to watch when she was a little kid. And finally after a whole day of laughs and games, they decided to take a rest on a nearby bench and started asking to each other about their life's before they found their alien devices.
Ben: "No way, you were a cheerleader!" He asked, beyond surprise to hear that a tomboy like herself were ever consider a cheerleader.
Vanessa: "Yeah, you can thank my mom for that. She thought it will be a great idea for me to join a team and make some friends, but it didn't really work out"
Ben: "Why?"
Vanessa: "Lets just say that it involved me getting revenge on a couple of bitchy cheerleaders, a donkey and an angry principal" She said with a smug look as Ben snorted at her and laid his back on the bench.
Ben: "Where did you even get a donkey?"
Vanessa: "My cousin knows a guy" She said, while laughing at the memory as she looked over at Ben and tried very hardly not to stare at his perfect face, especially his two big adorable green eyes. "Anyway I wanted to say thanks for asking me out, I had a great time with you tonight" She said, while boldly scooting closer over to Ben as she slowly placed her head on his shoulder and sighed contently.
Ben: "Y-yeah, me too"
He said as his face got instantly at the close contact as he looked down at the beauty before him, resting her tiny head on his shoulders. He couldn't believe how lucky he was to have her with him and even though he only known her for a couple of weeks, those were the greatest weeks of his life and he couldn't be any happier because nothing can ruined this beautiful moment...and just like that the cute scene was ruined thanks to the omnitrix suddenly letting out an annoying beeping.
Vanessa: "Um, dude what's wrong with your watch" She said while sitting upright as she covered her ears, trying in vain to block off the annoying sound.
Ben: "Oh, ah nothing! T-that its just an alarm to remind me to give...cotton candy! You like cotton candy, good! Stay here, I will be right back!" He screamed as he got up from his chair and ran off.
Vanessa: "Hmmm, I didn't knew that our devices had an alarm?" She said as we cue back to Ben and we see him ducking behind a carnival stand as he raises his arm and glares at the still beeping watch.
Ben: "Typical, for once everything is going great than this freaks out on me"
He said as he started doing numerous ways to stop the omnitrix from beeping, but surprise-surprise it didn't work as Ben cursed under his breath and hoped that this stupid watch won't ruin his real first date. While Ben was too preoccupied with the omnitrix, he was too busy to notice a small blob making its way towards him as it looks on ahead and saw a couple of people hitting each other with Bumper Cars.
The small creature "grins" as it started slithering its way to the bumper cars, ignoring all the people that were screaming in fright at seeing him as he started oozing its way to the nearest bumper car to merge with. Meanwhile with Ben we see him slamming the omnitrix against the wall a few times in frustration, trying effortlessly to stop the insufferable beeping from ruining his date and to his surprise it actually works? Ben smirked in satisfaction as he stood up from the wooden floor and sighs in relief.
Ben: "That's more like it, now to get back to Vanessa before-" He said before stopping in mid-sentence as the sound of screaming people was heard as he looked ahead and saw a lone bumper car jumping over the screaming crowd as it landed directly in front of him and roars at him. "...that happens"
He said with a deadpanned voice as he turned around and started running away from the living carnival ride, the possessed bumper car growls and chases after him. Ben cursed under his breath as he tried to elude the living bumper car by jumping over a row of trashcans, but it only ran through them and continued chasing him without slowing down.
Ben couldn't count how lucky he was that the place was abandon or else there would have been a lot of casualties since the living bumper car apparently didn't knew how to drive itself since it keeps ramming into everything, Ben would have felt sorry for the large machine if it wasn't currently trying to kill him.
Ben: "Damm, I cant keep running forever and there is no way in hell that thing is going to stop anytime soon, I need a distraction"
He thought to himself as he looked up and was surprised to see a carnival employee taking a short nap on a cart filled with cotton candy. Ben grinned at his luck as he jumped over the cart, while yelling "Sorry!" to the startled man as the living bumper car crashed against the cart and nearly fell over, but it managed to bounce back up as it shook his head and tried to look around for its target, but strangely enough it couldn't find him.
The blob covered bumper car growled in confusion as it drove up a little bit to search for him, not knowing that Ben was dangling off a large pole desperately trying to calm down his beating heart as he looked down and saw that it was still looking for him.
Ben: "What is this, when carnival rides attack?!"
He whispered-screamed, while trying to remain as quietly as possible but it was all in vain as the animated carnival ride used its antenna to send out a weird signal. Ben was confused by it until the omnitrix started beeping again, the young shape-shifter cursed under his breath as the living bumper car heard the beeping and saw him as it revs up and rams the pole.
Ben screamed as he lost his lost his grip on the pole and started falling to his death, but thankfully he was saved by the bumper car as it drove towards him and caught him just in time. Ben groaned from the rough landing as he tried to sat up, but didn't have anytime to react as the possessed bumper car suddenly roars and drove off. Ben carefully placed his hand on the side of the ride and slowly sat up from his chair as he looked ahead and saw that the living bumper car was now making its way out of the pier.
Ben: "Okay, I am so over this" He said as he jumped out of the bumper car and landed on the ground, the living bumper car quickly made a U-turn and glares at Ben as he took off his jacket and started waving it around to irritate it. "Hey! Bompo, bompo, andale!"
He screamed, while imitating a matador as the animated bumper car huffed and charged at him like a wild bull. Ben smirked as the living bumper drove towards at alarming speeds and was about to ran him over, when suddenly he pulled back his jacket and the next thing it knew, the possessed bumper car crashed against a fire hydrant and flew off into the air, before landing on the ground as it broke apart like an egg dropped from the ceiling.
Ben: "I hope there is a simple explanation, but I kind of doubt it"
He said, while putting on his jacket as he walked off to find Vanessa, not knowing that the blob creature survived the crash and started slithering off to find its next target. Vanessa sighed as she rested her body against the bench and waited patiently for Ben to arrive.
Normally most girls will be annoyed to wait for their dates this long, but Vanessa was more worried than annoyed right now, he was gone for at least 30 minutes by now and he hasn't showed up. Vanessa hummed nervously as she considered to search for him, but luckily she didn't have to as she instantly perked up at the sight of an exhausted Ben running up to her with two cotton candy's in his hand.
Vanessa: "Hey, there you are. Where were you? You were gone for like a half and hour"
Ben: "Sorry, you wouldn't believe the line!"
Vanessa: "...Ben, were like literally the only ones here" She said with a dry voice, causing Ben to chuckle nervously as he mentally kicked himself for his lame excuse.
Ben: "Uh...except at the concession stand where they doing huge business!" He said as Vanessa narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously, before sighing as she figured that if it were something serious he will tell her.
Vanessa: "Okay, that was the most ridiculous excuse I have ever heard in my life, but I'm going to let it slide since you brought the cotton candy like you said you would" She said, while taking one of the cotton candy's from his hands as Ben sighed in relief and took a bite from his cotton candy as he silently wondered how that carnival ride came to life and why has it been messing with his watch? So many questions roam around his head and he was determined to find out what was going...after his date with Vanessa of course.
And finished! I was so happy to write this chapter (Especially writing about Ben and Vanessa's date, since Ben and Julie barely had anytime to enjoy themselves on theirs) and I even managed to give you all few details about Vanessa past! Anyway again I wanted to say sorry for the late update, but you know how school is.
Anyway as always, I will talk to you all later.
