The hard truth and a new friend

The next day, Ben and Jake were on the roof early in the morning; this time training their dragon powers.

After about half an hour, Gwen came up the stairs and said they were leaving. Then they all climbed into the R.V.

About halfway there, Ben started to feel a little nervous. How was he supposed to tell his parents? Especially now since he gained two new powers in the last week.

"Don't worry." said Gwen seeing how worried Ben was. "I'm sure your parents won't disown you, or something."

"Maybe I just shouldn't tell them, they'll figure it out eventually." Said Ben hoping someone would agree with him.

"Ben, you should really tell them." said Max sternly. "They'll want to know." They stopped in front of Ben's house. Ben looked at Jake.

"I hope I won't have to tell them on my own."

"You won't have to." said Jake, speaking for the first time.

"We'll help you tell them." said Gwen. They got out of the R.V. and walked up to the front door. Ben opened the door and was greeted by his mom.

"Oh, Ben I'm so glad your home!" She said pulling him into a strangle hold of a hug.

"Good to be home." He said when she finally let go. "Mom I have something I need to tell you and dad." he led them into the living room where his dad was reading the newspaper in his recliner.

"Hey, Ben!" said his dad cheerfully, putting his paper down. "Welcome home."

"Hey dad." said Ben. "Uh you guys might want to sit down. This is big." Then he started telling all about the last summer. "And Jakes magical talking Charpei turned me into a dragon, and our friend Tristan, turned me into a werewolf!"

"Benjamin Parker Tennison, the Third!" Yelled his Dad as his mom was trying to recover from the shock. "Don't tell such elaborate lies!" Ben sighed and nodded to Jake and they both transformed into dragons.

After seeing this, Mrs. Tennison fainted and Mr. Tennison fell back in his chair.

"Well that went better than expected." said Max trying to help Mrs. Tennison.

Meanwhile

Tristan's body still lay in the huntslair. A black scarab drops onto him, and he magically comes back to life. "What happened?" questioned Tristan; suddenly he remembered one word that alarmed him: "Ben!"

"You will see him again, but you'll have to come with me." said a boy about 15 years old. He was wearing a yellow and black sleeveless shirt, and big shoes with silver hair. He held out his hand.

Tristan hesitated in grabbing it, but he did and was engulfed in darkness.

Back at Ben's house

"Mom, are you ok?" asked Ben.

His mother woke up. "I just had the strangest dream; Ben and Jake were dragons." She said.

"It wasn't a dream." said Grandpa Max.

"You mean my son is a…and a… and he can…!" she explained.

"I don't understand any of this." said Mr. Tennison. "Well your not really related to Jake's mom, so what about Jake's dad?" Everyone's eyes bat at Mr. Tennison, and Mrs. Tennison fainted.

"He was the most evil dragon, and I killed him." Jake said darkly. The Tennisons wanted to know all about werewolves and dragons.

Jake began filling them in. Ben walked out and sat on the porch railing. He saw a girl walking down the street; she was looking kind of tall. She was ten, had blonde hair, and green eyes. But what caught his eye was the fact that she wore a watch on her arm that looked exactly like the Omnitrix.

"Hey," he called. "Wait up." She stopped and turned around. He saw her eyes flicker towards the arm with the Omnitrix strapped on it.

"Cool watch thingy." She said. She spoke with a southern New York accent. "Almost as cool as mine." She activated her Omnitrix and turned into a blue, female version of Heatblast.

"You're still not as hot as me." said Ben as he turned into Heatblast.

"Nice!" she said changing back at will. "My name is Teanna, what's yours?"

"The name is Ben." said Ben still Heatblast. "How did you do that?"

"Close you eyes and think of your normal form." Ben did this and almost immediately he was Ben again.

"Cool, hey there are some people I want you to meet." said Ben.

"I don't know, I get nervous around new people." She said biting her lip.

"Relax you'll be fine." He pulled her to his house.

"You're the Tennison's kid?" she asked.

"Yeah, Ben Tennison." He opened the door just as Jake was finishing up.

"Nice timing, dude." said Jake. "Who's she?"

"I'm Teanna, I moved in next door. My mom brought over the Snicker Doodles." She said.

"Oh, right." said a dazed and confused Mrs. Tennison.

"Is she alright?" asked Teanna.

"Um…" said Jake.

"Relax." said Ben holding up Teanna's arm. "She already knows one; she might as well know the rest." Teanna looked very confused. "I'm also a dragon and a werewolf." Teanna looked shocked. Of course she wasn't really shocked. She also had another little secret she wasn't willing to share right now.
