Hey everybody. The year is almost over so many of us want to see the end of it. We've had to endure a lot, some more than others. But now there is a vaccine and now we have a glimpse of the light at the end of this dark tunnel.

I wanted to post something before Christmas and luckily I had this ready.

This humorous one shot was inspired by the "If Marvel and DC Had Tinder" videos on you tube. Today Ben will try his luck at Tinder. Words in the Tinder messages will be in "Italics."

Disclaimer: I do not own Ben 10 or any of the characters appearing in this story.

Ben 10 Tinderverse

"Okay," Ben looked at his phone, "I've taken on killer robots, alien invasions, evil sorcerers, evil fungus, super villains, mutants, fanatical knights, fanatical cultists and their demon god, Vreedles, bounty hunters, evil time travels, alien warlords, an evil Galvanic Mecahmorph and evil versions of myself from other universes. But that doesn't leave much time for dating." He looked at his Tinder profile with a picture him holding up the Omnitrix. "Lets see Tinder can help me out."

Demona stood on a rooftop with a full moon behind her.

"Rich, Immortal and Deadly. Looking for someone hard as stone. No humans. Desire to wipe them out not mandatory, but welcomed."

"Hmm, I could just meet her in alien form." Ben considered. "But if I timed out that would be awkward." He swiped left.

Raven floated in the air as she mediated.

"If you can handle my dark side, then I want you to make me FEEL things."

"Direct and I dig the cloak." Ben scratched his chin. He checked her other picture, which was raven with red skin and four glowing red eyes. " But I'm more a guy who fights the dark." Swipes left.

Eclipsa Butterfly stood surrounded by flowers, resting her wand on her shoulder.

"Newly restored Queen to the throne is taking a break from helping misunderstood monsters and is looking for some fun."

"Queen huh?" Ben smiled. "I do not know what that style is, but I'm digging it." Swipes right.

Ben "Hello your majesty."

Eclipsa "No need to be so formal, Eclipsa will do."

Ben "Well then Eclipsa, what are you into?"

Eclipsa "Not to brag, but I'm quite the guitar player. I built my own out of a skeleton."

Ben "Did you say, a skeleton?"

Eclipsa "I work with what I'm given."

Ben "I've played Guitar before. I used a it to defeat an evil weather controlling robot."

Eclipsa "I don't know what a robot is but that sounds exciting!"

Ben "Yeah, my lifes pretty much all excitement."

Eclipsa "Well between ruling Mewni and raising Meteroa, I've got plenty of excitement."

Ben "Meteroa?"

Eclipsa "My daughter."

Ben "Oh you have a daughter."

Eclipsa "Yes. She has my eyes and her fathers beautiful fangs."

Ben "Fangs?"

Eclipsa "Oh wait I'll show you." A picture appeared of baby Meterora on the ceiling with her head turned 180 degrees.

Ben "… shes, adorable. But tell me more about you."

Eclipsa "Well I have a bit of a sweet tooth. Can't resist candy."

Ben "Who doesn't love candy? I'd be happy to bring you some, maybe directly to your royal bedroom?"

Eclipsa "Oh you're a cheeky one. But I don't think my husband would like that."

Ben "Wait, you're still married?"

Eclipsa "Of course. Globgor may be crystallised but he still has my heart."

Ben "Then why did you join Tinder?"

Eclipsa "I heard it was a great way to meet people and have some fun."

Ben "I think you might have misunderstood what kind of fun Tinder offers."

Eclipsa "… I don't follow."

Ben "This is a dating site, and sometimes it skips the dating part and goes straight to, you know, the bedroom part."

Eclipsa "WHAT!? Oh I am going to give that Pony Head a piece of my mind!"

Ben "… okay. Good luck with that."

Ben ended the chat. "What did she mean Pony Head? Actually I don't wanna know."

Harley Quinn leaned on her baseball bat while holding lit sticks of dynamite.

"Just got out fugitively and literally toxic relationship. Now mamas down to clown with somebody who can handle crazy and lots of it."

"I got over my fear of clowns, I think this lady would give me a whole new reason to be afraid." He swipe left.

Quinn Tyr'ahnee of Mars lay on a chair while being fanned by a Centurion.

"Are you worthy to become my King?"

"Not looking for a big commitment." Ben swiped left.

Bean sat on a barstool holding a mug of ale.

"Average girl looking for some no strings attached fun."

"Now that's more like it, and she definitely looks fun." Swipe right.

Ben "Sup?"

Bean "Hey there. You up for some fun?"

Ben "Always."

Bean "How about we start with some ale."

Ben "I'm more of a smoothie guy."

Bean "Perhaps you prefer, THE BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT?"

Ben "Ah what?"

Bean "SORRY! That wasn't me that was Luci. My ah, cat."

Ben "Wow, how'd he type so well?"

Bean "Oh no I'm using speech to text. Now we were setting up a date?"

Ben "Ladies choice. I can take you pretty much anywhere in the world, and a couple of other worlds two."

Lucis picture appeared as he joined the chat.

Luci "Really? How about a graveyard? You know one where the undead rise up?"

Ben "That is one weird looking cat."

Luci "I'm not a cat! I am a demon."

Bean "A demon whose going the bottle if he does knock it off!"

Ben "Do you need some help? I am a superhero after all."

Bean "No, no, its fine. Lucis more like that kind of friend who encourages you to do bad stuff."

Ben "Oh I have a friend like that."

Bean "Who feels like a picnic?"

Ben "Sure we could try a picnic."

Bean "That wasn't me either."

The picture of a certain Elf appeared.

Elfo "Are you guys making new friends? Hi I'm Elfo!"

Ben "Um, hi."

Bean "Will you guys get out of here! I'm in the middle of something here."

Luci "Yeah Elfo. Beans trying to get laid here."

Elfo "Laid?"

Luci "Yeah, by this guy were talking to right now."

Bean "Yeah so if you two could step outside that'd be great."

Elfo "I see. Well I guess we should give you some privacy. Oh no you dropped your phone! OW!"

Ben "What happened?"

Luci "Ah man you missed it. Elfo threw the phone at the ground but it bounced off and hit him in the eye. It was awesome."

Bean "THAT'S IT! BOTH OF YOU OUT! Sorry about that, thanks for sticking around."

Ben "It takes a lot more than a demon and an elf to scare me away."

Bean "Glad to hear it. Okay I've never said this before, but lets skip the beer and get straight to the bed."

Ben "Direct, I can work with that. Just tell me where."

Bean "Okay come to the kingdom of Dreamland and meet me at the castle in the princesses bedroom."

Ben "What if the princess is there?"

Bean "Trust me, it'll just be me and you."

Zogs picture appeared.

Zog "BEAN!"

Bean "Oh crap."

Zog "Bean you're late for the Royal Banquet!"

Ben "Whose that?"

Bean "Urgh, my Dad."

Zog "You are not getting out of this. As King I order you to start acting like a princess. Which means you show up sober and you stay sober."

Ben "Wait you're a princess?"

Zog "Whose that? Wait is this that app for sex? No daughter of mine is gonna roam the internets for weirdo's to sleep with. No offence internet weirdo."

Ben "None taken, I guess. I'll leave you to your banquet."

Ben ended the chat and sighed. "Getting closer."

Arcee stood in a pose with her hands above her head.

"Care to join me for an oil bath?"

"Tempting, but I don't think so." Swipe left.

Elsa stood thee creating frost in her hand

"The cold never bothered me, but can you warm me up?"

"Yeah, starting to think I need to stay away from royalty." Ben swiped left.

Shego stood in the rain with both her hands glowing.

"If you think you can keep up, then lets get wild."

"She looks like trouble." Ben checked her other photos. Her in a long green dress and her at the beach in a black and green swim suit. "But since when have I ever stayed away from trouble." Swipe right.

Ben "Hey."

Shego "Superhero huh? Not exactly my type."

Ben "Oh I'm full of surprises."

Shego "Ok hero, impress me."

Ben "I've travelled the universe, defeated super villains, alien warlords, an extradimensional God and I once held a universe destroying bomb in my hands, while it was going off."

Shego "Colour me impressed."

Ben "And may I say it's a lovely colour on you."

Shego "Flattery will get you everywhere."

Ben "If you like to travel, how would you like to visit other planets?"

Shego "And if I saw something I wanted to steal?"

Ben "Then I'd have to stop you. But that doesn't mean it won't be fun."

Shego "Oh does someone like it rough? Oh damn it!"

Ben "Whats wrong?"

Shego "Stupid robot monkeys escaped. Dr D! I told you to double check the locks! Well clearly you didn't! Ugh.. Now I got this to deal with."

Shego ended the chat.

Ben sighed, "stupid robot monkeys."

XJ9 stood with one of her hands transformed into a blaster.

"Can you make me feel like a real girl?"

"Maybe Upgrade could… no." Ben swiped left.

Eda the Owl Lady sat on her magical staff as she floated in the air, conjuring a fireball in her hand.

"Magical, sassy, foxy, the bad girl of the Boiling Isles is looking for some fun."

"Huh, do I have a thing for older women?" Ben thought for a moment and smiled. "Lets find out." Swipe right.

Ben "Hey good looking."

Eda "Oh you're a handsome one, this online dating is already paying off."

Ben "Looks like theres some magic in the air."

Eda "That's the boiling Isles for you. They may be slimy, stinky and gross but you can feel the magic everywhere."

Ben "Wow that's deep. Power, beauty and brains."

Eda "You haven't seen anything yet. I gotta thank Luz for setting up Tinder thing."

Ben "Luz?"

Eda "Shes my witch apprentice, shes really come along way in a short time."

Ben "Looks like you've got a nurturing side."

Eda "Don't tell anyone."

Ben "So tell me about yourself."

Eda "Well I run my own business, all while being a rebel against an oppressive system that tries to control everyones magic."

Ben "You really are a bad girl. I'm digging it. As for me, I'm a superhero who fights criminals, evil robots, super villains and alien warlords. I beat them all and saved the Universe, several times."

Eda "I'm impressed. If your free, I know a nice place. We can get some food and get to know each other, closely."

Suddenly Kings picture appeared.

King "EDA! Meet the newest addition to my army of terror. I call him Mr Fluffykins!"

Ben "Aw cute dog."

King "I'm no dog. I am the KING OF DEMONS! Bow down in terror mortal!"

Eda "Yeah hes real terrifying. See for yourself." A picture of King in a cheerleading costume appeared.

King "You said you wouldn't so anyone!"

Eda "Move along King, I'm in the middle of something. Now where were we?"

Ben "We were arranging a meeting so we could, get to know each other."

Suddenly Luzs picture appeared.

Luz "EDA! The cauldrons come to life and its going crazy!"

Eda "It didn't come to life Luz. Its always been alive."

Luz "What!? EW! I licked it once."

King "Ha Ha."

Eda "Sorry handsome, but I gotta stop a cauldron from destroying my house."

Eda ended the chat.

So close." Ben sighed. "Okay. Lets give this one more try."

Carmen Sandiego in signature red hat and coat, smiled as she scaled a building.

"I've been around the world, taking down an evil organisation for years. Now I want some to help me celebrate in a Very Exotic Fashion."

"Wow," Ben looked at her other pictures. Her casual clothes, her swimsuit and her red dress. "Red is definitely your colour. Good thing red and green go so well together." He was about to swipe right when suddenly his phone started glitching, "What the?"

It returned to normal but Ben was now in a chat with Entrapta. Her profile picture showed her working on a new invention with an excited smile on her face and holding multiple tools with her hair.

Entrapta "I FOUND YOU!"

Ben "Ah, hi. Who are you?"

Entrapta "I'm Princess Entrapta of Dryl and I want you on my lab table."

Ben "Wait what?"

Entrapta "I'm a scientist. You Omnitrix is the most advanced piece of technology I've ever seen!"

Ben "Ah thanks. Sorry but how did we enter this chat?"

Entrapta "Oh I hacked into it."

Ben "You did?"

Entrapta "I'm really good with tech. You can explore my stuff while I explore yours."

Ben "Was that a double entendre?"

Entrapta "Cupcakes are ready!"

Ben "You can make cupcakes?"

Entrapta "That wasn't me."

Scorpias picture appeared.

"Careful they're hot."

Entrapta "Oh! Tiny food!"

Scorpia "So what cha doing?"

Entrapta "I met someone online."

Scorpia "Oh tell me more."

Entrapta "His names Ben. Say hi."

Scorpia "Hey there. I'm Scorpia."

Ben "Hey Scorpia. So you're a friend of Entrapta?"

Scorpia "Oh yeah. We're part of a Super Pal Trio."

Ben "Sounds fun."

Entrapta "Oh that reminds me Scorpia, I finished cleaning your dress. Its good as new. See for yourself." A picture of Scorpia in her black dress from the Princess Prom.

Ben "Whoa! Scorpia I know we just met but I gotta say… WOWZA!"

Scorpia "Oh well, thank you. It was just something I had hanging in my closet."

Entrapta "Oh Scorpia the blood vessels in your face are reacting."

Ben "Well if I had been there, I definitely would have asked you to dance."

Scorpia "Wow, thanks… I"

Entrapta "Princess Prom isn't for another decade but you could join us for some scientific exploration. The kind of experiments we could do would be amazing!"

Scorpia "Oh sounds exciting. I'd love to experiment with you guys."

Ben blinked at what this sounded like. "Even I'm not that lucky. Am I?"

Suddenly Catras picture appeared.

"What are you two doing in here?"

Scorpia "Hey Catra come meet our new friend."

Entrapta "Ben this is Catra. He has the most powerful device in the universe!"

Catra "You don't say?"

Ben "Hey there."

Catra "So just how powerful are you?"

Ben "Well I've beaten criminals, robots, super villains, invasions and alien warlords."

Catra "Whoa…"

Scorpia "Cool."

Catra "Would you be interested in visiting the Fright Zone?"

Ben "Hmm, doesn't sound very welcoming."

Catra "Oh don't worry. I'll make sure you feel very welcome."

"Okay this is clearly some kind of trap." Ben thought to himself. "But… would it be worth the risk?"

Entrapta "Oh we could go a group experiment."

Catra "So what do you say hero?"

Ben … sorry gotta go save a planet. Bye."

Ben closed the app and sighed. "Well that was a bust. No wonder people make jokes about online dating." Putting his phone away Ben activated the Omnitrix. "Time to take action."

Later

Ben was sitting in a field under the shade of a tree as he enjoyed a picnic.

"Your smoothy my lady." Ben held up a cup.

"Thanks," Bean smiled before taking a sip. "This is pretty good."

"I know right? Theres actually twenty two Mr Smoothys in my home town." He didn't notice Bean take out a bottle and pour booze into her smoothy, she sipped it and smiled at the improved taste.

The two of them lay down on the blanket and watched the cloud. "Hey I gotta ask," Bean looked at him. "How'd you get my Dad to lay off?"

"Lets just say I left a little something on his doorstep," Ben smirked. "Compliments of someone I helped out once."

The Throne Room

"HA HA!" Zog cheered as he threw pieces of gold in the air. "I don't know where this gold came from, AND I DON'T CARE!" The throne room had piles of oddly shaped pieces of gold everywhere.

Odval and Sorcerio were standing off to the side watching.

"Did you tell him that you think this actually golden poop?" Sorcerio asked.

Odval watched Zog rub the gold on his face and kiss it. "Not yet."

"Odval and Sorcerio." Zog called out to them. "Come lay in the gold and rub it all over yourselves with me."

"No thank you sir." Odval politely declined. "We wouldn't dream of it."

"Stop being weirdly polite and get over here." The King ordered.

The two of them gave each other nervous looks but sat in the gold, cringing in disgust as they did. Suddenly Zog started throwing pieces of gold at them. "Gold fight!"

"Sir plea-GAK!" Odval choked as a piece flew into his mouth.

"Oh don't be such a baby." Zog threw more gold at him.

The Field

"Yeah that'd do it." Bean nodded. "But what about Elfo and Luci?"

"Oh they've got they've got their hands full." Ben smiled.

Beans Room

"They're not slowing down!" Elfo stood on Beans bed and held a light up fidget spinner on each index finger. "They're not slowing down!"

"DIE! DIE! DIE!" Luci screamed as he swung a wooden meat hammer to smash the dozens of cucumbers that were covering the floor.

"Luci its okay." Elfo said. "They're not snakes."

"I know," the demon looked at him. "I just hate cucumbers." He resumed smashing. "DIE! DIE!"

"Wait… "Elfo looked around. "Wheres Bean?"

"Well," Luci smashed a cucumber before leaning on the meat hammer. "If I had to take a guess that would upset you the most, I'd say shes somewhere getting ploughed by that Ben guy."

"What!?" Elfo gasped.

"There it is." Luci grinned before glaring at the cucumbers. "DIE!" He smashed it with the meat hammer.

The Field

"Where dud you get that many cucumbers?" Bean asked.

Ben looked at her. "From a terrible place called a health food store."

"That doesn't sound so bad." Bean said.

"Oh yeah?" Bens tone became serious. "They make something called vegan bacon."

Bean shivered. "I don't know what that is but it sounds terrible."

"It is." Ben assured her.

Bean down the rest of her drink. "Then lets change the subject." With that she rolled ontop of Ben and started kissing him. Ben wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back.

"Oh hold on." Ben reached into his backpack and took out an device. He pressed a button and they were surrounded by black tent like structure that hid them from outside view. Inside there some just enough light Ben and Bean could see each other. "A little something I brought so we could have some privacy."

Bean smiled down at him. "This just gets better and better." With that they started making out again as Ben thought to himself.

"Thank god for online dating."

I had fun writing this and I hope you all enjoyed it two. If 2020 taught me 1 thing, its that in hard times you got to appreciate the little things we have. Good health, being able to communicate with family even if we cant be with them in person. The arrival of a vaccine. Trump is getting kicked out of the White House and all the funny SNL skits about it. Fanfiction and all the animation we can watch. I'll see you all in 2021, until then I wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
