Our eleven-year-old hero was bored out of his mind. Max was driving the car to the destination that they would find the Seedrians. Unfortunately, it felt like hours to Ben. It actually did take an hour to get to their destination. They were way out of Bellwood, now in a forest that didn't seem to have too many normal roads.

"We're here." Max said, parking the Vehicle.

"Finally!" Ben said as he jumped up from his seat and ran out the door. He looked around. "Hello? Anyone here?" He called.

"Quiet! We don't know if anyone else is out here? What if there are Black Arms looking to stop the peace treaty?" Gwen whispered.

"There is no need to fear, little one." Said a female voice.

Gwen and Ben looked around to see where the voice came from. They didn't see anyone.

When Max walked out of the Rust Bucket the voice spoke again, "Magister Tennyson, how nice it is too finally see you in person."

"I'd say the same thing, but you still have your cloaking device on."

"Ah, right. I'm sorry. I'm not used to this technology quite yet."

After that sentence was said, the one who spoke it slowly appeared before them. It was a woman. Her skin was pale green and her hair was light turquoise. Her eyes were blue and she wore a white dress with a red amulet on her chest. She also had a large white flower on the top of her head with two vines coming out of it.

Ben and Gwen looked at her with awe. Well, Gwen did anyway. Ben started fiddling with his Omnitrix without looking at it.

"Ben, Gwen, this is Earthia. The queen of the Seedrians, and also the woman that we'll be taking to sign the peace treaty." Max explained.

Earthia looked down behind herself and said, "Don't be afraid, Cosmo. These are the nice people who will help us stop the war with the Black aliens."

It was at this point that Ben and Gwen noticed that there was a hand on Earthia's dress. Slowly, a little girl came out from behind her. She took a few seconds looking at the three humans before she came out from behind the queen. She looked like Earthia, but her hair was green and she had two rose buds on the sides of her head instead of a flower perched on the top. She seemed to be the same age as Ben and Gwen.

"This is my daughter, Cosmo." Earthia said as she gestured to the girl that came out from behind her. "She is the princess of my people, I couldn't leave her on Greengate with all of those black aliens trying to kill us."

"Greengate?" Gwen said, curiously.

"It's their home planet." Max explained, "A world that has much more land and plant life then earth." Cosmo slowly walked up to Ben and Gwen while Max was explaining this. She looked at them with a face of intrigue.

"What?" Ben said to the girl, wondering why she was looking at them.

"Where are your flowers?" She asked.

"Flowers?" Ben said in a tone that made him sound like he was responding to something crazy.

"Flowers are their hearing organs, Ben. They're their ears." Max explained.

"Ears?" Cosmo asked.

Ben pointed to one of his ears, showing Cosmo what they were talking about, "These. These are ears."

Cosmo looked at them and said, "Wow, you humans are weird."

"We're weird? You're the weird one here." Ben said, bluntly.

"I'm the weird one? How dare you! I'm a princess, you peasant." Cosmo said, angrily.

"Peasant?"

"Yes, a peasant."

"Well at least I'm not an overgrown weed."

"Weed?! How dare you, you filthy ape!"

It's at this point that Max and Earthia interjected. "Ben!" Cosmo!" The two immediately stopped bickering. "That's enough, Benjamen." Max said, in an angry tone. Earthia then said, "The same goes for you, Cosmosis. These people are going to help us stop the black aliens, and this is how you thank them?" Cosmo looked down in sadness. She hated it when her mother used her full name. Ben snickered to himself. Cosmosis. That's something that he'd be making fun of later. "Now then, I want both of you to get in the RV." Max said, pointing behind himself. "The same goes for you, Cosmo." Earthia said, firmly.

"Yes, Grandpa." "Yes, Mother." And with that, the three walked into the Rust Bucket. Gwen had actually whispered to Cosmo, "I think we're gonna be good friends." Cosmo smiled at this. At least someone on this planet was friendly.

When the three were in the RV, Max sighed, "I'm sorry. Ben's not usually the most respectful kid." "No, no, I'm sorry. We've been trying to teach Cosmo how to converse with other people. She's never been good at respecting people she doesn't like." Earthia explained.

"Well, how about we get you to the rendezvous, now." Max said.

"That would be good, Maxwell." Earthia said.

"Alright then. Come on board the Rust Bucket and we'll get you there."

Max walked into the Rust Bucket, followed by Earthia. The RV's engine started up and then drove off, taking it's passengers to their desired destination.

I'm sorry that this chapter's short. And that it doesn't cover what happens with Modern Ben and Fistrick. I just really wanted to post something.

Also, I'm thinking of just saying that to distinguish the two Ben's of the story. Classic Ben and Modern Ben. Whaddo ya think? Should I? Or shouldn't I? Either way, tomorrow part one of Showdown premiers and I'm looking forward to this. As for where this is in the series if it were canon, this takes place before showdown and before Ben stops using Feedback. In other words, Classic Ben's gonna use Feedback, Modern Ben isn't.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to writing Feedback in this story. And Spoilers: Shocksquatch and Fasttrack. Yes Fasttrack is gonna be in this story, and I'm going to exploit a weakness that I think is commonly underused. At least it didn't appear to be used whenever he was on screen.
