Note: first fanfic, will improve as I go along, I have been a gamemaster on my past RP site so the action should be good, and I do not own Ben 10 or anything that is remotely like Ben 10.

AUTHOR'S NOTE OF GLORY: I vote that Cannon Bolt is the most huggable out of all the aliens. He is described on wikipedia as an alien that looks like a teddy bear. And you know what…? He is!

---------

The classes at this camp are boring, all of them. Whenever Gray Matter was enrolled into a new class, he was able to finish the book in less than a month while the students are still on chapter five. Let's face it, he hated his classes because they were boring.

Except sharpshooting class.

Gray Matter aimed his pistol again and fired. The bullet zoomed through the air and missed the target.

"Oooooh. Tough shot!" said the teacher, "you sure you don't want me to make the target closer?"

"I'm sure professor! All I have to do is calculate the angle, the height, where I'm aiming at and the wind resistance of the bullet."

"Err…right…well..carry on!"

Gray Matter smiled and continued to practice his shooting.

Nothing arouses his mind like a good challenge. And believe me, shooting was it. Gray Matter was having a wonderful time. In all of his years in his life he has never done anything that he was having this much fun at. Sometimes, when they were not shooting, the class made bullets that they themselves would shoot. Gray Matter at first was bad at it, but after awhile, he got the hang of it and soon, he was making many bullets in no time.

Already, Gray Matter made the Arsenic Bullet, which the professor found very impressive. Today he made a new kind of bullet.

Gray Matter stood on his table and held it up in the air, "I call it…the Sleeping Bullet!"

The students oohed and awed over such a magnificent creation.

"This bullet is able to knock down a 6 foot alien into a sleeping coma for 45 minutes. I know, I know, I am the best."

The Professor went up to him and congratulated him.

"Great job Gray Matter! By the end of this semester…you'll have an A!"

"Please Professor," said a much humbled Crainian, "I always get an A+."

After class, Gray Matter happily strutted down the walkway of the campus. With a smug look in his eye, he felt like he was on top of the world.

"Soon…aliens from all over the galaxy will come and see my inventions. I'll be a multi-million-no…a multi-billionaire. I'll be selling my weapons and I'll live in a great three story tall mansion. I'll be a rich Gray Matter! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

A shadow loomed over him. Gray Matter stopped laughing and looked up to see who it was. Three, seven foot aliens were looking down at him, each of them looking as mean as they possibly can. They were baring their teeth and cracking their knuckles and they were looking at the pint sized alien. Immediately, Gray Matter's cockiness disappeared.

"Er…good day…er…gentlemen," he said.

"Well look who it is," said one.

"It's the smart ass alien."

"Why don't we teach him how to teach football?"

Gray Matter gulped but reached for his gun. He held it up and was aiming at them, however, the gun was shaking hard due to Gray Matter's being afraid.

When the aliens saw the mini-gun they just laughed.

"HAHA! Will you look at that!"

"That's not a gun…that's a water gun!"

"What's it going to do…? Shoot water at me?"

The three of them laughed even harder. Gray Matter now felt stupid and afraid. Now ashamed that he was insulted, he stood his ground even harder.

"L-Look…I want you…to get out of my way…now."

"Or what? You'll shoot me? Go ahead try it! I bet you can't!"

Suddenly the air grew colder, it seemed as if the light from the sun was dimming. Gray Matter got the feeling that all this time, he was being watched. Then a cold voice rang out across ground ears.

"He doesn't want to waste his bullets on a couple of bullies such as yourselves. He doesn't want to hurt a couple of weaklings such as yourselves."

All four of them turned around, there, floating beside them, was Ghostfreak. Her single eye contracted as she looked at each of the three aliens. Then, her eye focused on Gray Matter. She waved a purple hand in the air and said, "Hello Gray Matter! How you doing?"

"Uh…fine! I'm doing just fine, thank you for asking Ghostfreak…"

Ghostfreak's eye swiveled back to the three bully aliens. They gulped as the three of them saw Ghostfreak's lifeless, naked body. Ghostfreak then started to float around them, while doing so, she was talking.

"Why do bullies harm aliens that are smaller then themselves? Is it because they think they're cool and that they can show it by beating up the weak? Is it because they think it is funny? Or…" she stopped floating around them and faced them directly, "Is it because they want to be feared?"

The tall aliens were scared but didn't move, they couldn't move, even if they did their legs wouldn't allow it. Slowly, Ghostfreak raised her purple arms and put her hands through two of them. Instantly, the two aliens turned very pale. Their eyes went to the back of their skull, and their whole body was quivering. She then pulled her arms out of their bodies. The two of them collapsed to the ground. Ghostfreak then turned around and looked down at Gray Matter.

"We showed them didn't-"

"Look out!" cried Gray Matter. He raised his gun again and fired. The bullet went right through Ghostfreak and into the alien who was about to fire a gun on her. The alien fell down asleep. Ghostfreak swiveled her eye backward and then forward again. She looked at her stomach which the bullet went through and said, "Hehe. That tickled."

Gray Matter, who was now getting use to the presence of Ghostfreak, said, "We showed them now…didn't we?"

Ghostfreak looked at him, she then said, "Can I call you Matthew?"

Gray Matter thought about it for a second and said, "Yeah, sure. Can I call you Penelope?"

Without hesitating, Ghostfreak said, "It's a deal, Matthew."

Gray Matter was once again happy. Not only has he made a new friend…but a new body guard.

"Well…shall we go to the cafeteria to eat?"

"YES! I'm in the mood for some vanilla ice cream!"

Gray Matter laughed, he motioned for her to float ahead of him and she obliged. "Penelope," he said while walking behind her, "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
