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: Some of you were probably wondering if I'll put a certain character in my story…

I quickly updated this.

-------------------------------------

"What planet are we going to now Father?"

"The Mineralist planet!"

"Mineralist?"

"Yes, Mineralists. They are an alien species that are made entirely out of hard minerals. They are serious workers who are as cold blooded as the rocks which they eat."

"Why are we going there Father?"

"Trade and money! You see…the Mineralists like to eat certain kinds of foods. It just so happens that the food they like is quite plentiful on our home planet."

"What food is that?"

"Obsidian."

---------------------

Four Arms was walking blissfully across the sidewalk of the campus. He smiled to himself as he looked up at the bright, blue sky. As typical, nobody was outside this glorious day.

Why?

They were all attending school.

-----------------

The ship landed on the rocky ground slowly; after all, it did belong to the royal king. He would hate it so if it was damaged.

The door of the ship opened and the stairs extended from the ship to the ground. King Four Arms III walked out of the ship, smiled, and waved to the crowd below. Following him was his son, Four Arms. And ending the two was the Head Royal Guardsman, SMPL.

King Four Arms III got to the end of the stairs and shook hands with the Mineralist that was standing at the front of the crowd. The Mineralist nodded his head to King Four Arms as they shook hands.

"Hello, I'm King Four Arms, you must be…"

"Sapphirehand…welcome to our planet. In honor of your visit we have made a special welcoming party, complete with the honorable customs and foods that your planet serves."

"Why…that is mighty generous of you. We will be glad to have such a delightful feast."

Sapphirehand looked behind King Four Arms and saw Prince Four Arms standing there.

"I see that you have brought your son along as well."

"Yep, I thought that in order to make the bonds between our kind last for a long time, my son should know about the customs on this planet."

"It looks like you weren't the only ones thinking the same thing, we have brought along our most prized student. His name is Diamondhead, since he has a big future in store for him; we thought it would be good if he got to know our allies."

Diamondhead stepped out of the crowd, his gray eyes and serious stature gave him a look of intermittence.

Four Arms waved to him, Diamondhead did not reply.

-------------------------------------

Four Arms gave a yawn and kept walking. He felt like taking a nap. He hadn't had one for awhile so he felt now was a good time to take one.

He found a tree by the side of the walk. He walked to it and sat down with his back kneeled against it. Nodding his head, he began to fall asleep.

-----------------------------

When the group left them alone, Four Arms began to talk with Diamondhead.

"So…what do you want to do?"

"What do you mean "what do you want to do?"

"We got to hang out you know? Be a groupie."

"Groupie…?"

Four Arms could see that this was going to be a harder bonding process than he thought.

"Look…what do you do for your free time?"

Diamondhead shrugged.

"Study?"

Four Arms did a headpalm.

"No…what do you do for fun?"

"I don't know."

Four Arms saw a lake at the distance. He turned to Diamondhead and said, "come on, let me show you something."

--------------------------------

Four Arms was about to fall asleep when a shadow covered him. Wondering who that was, he opened his eyes to see four eyes looking down at him.

--------------------

"Skip rocks?"

Diamondhead looked at the rock that Four Arms gave him. It was small and flat with smooth edges.

"Yeah!" said Four Arms who was picking up a rock, "I like to skip rocks and see how far I can get them. I always pick the best rocks out and use them to their fullest capacity."

Diamondhead looked at the rock and said, "…how?"

"Like this."

Four Arms flicked his arm to the side; the rock came out of his hand and gracefully descended upon the lake, when it made contact it skipped several times before it fell in.

"Now you try."

Diamondhead looked at the rock oddly, then, imitating what Four Arms did, he threw the rock.

The rock instantly fell in.

"Oooh…tough luck," said Four Arms who was again, picking up another rock, "but after a little practice you'll get the hang of it."

But before Four Arms could finish his sentence, Diamondhead picked up another flat rock. He looked at it with his gray eyes and then began to polish it with his hand. When he was done he threw it to the lake.

It skipped six times.

"Whoa. You're actually quite good at this," said Four Arms, "but see if you can beat this!"

He threw the rock, it skipped seven times.

Diamondhead threw his rock and it skipped eight times.

This process continued on for about an hour. The two of them finally stopped skipping rocks either because the rocks were too far away to be seen, or they got to the other side of the lake.

"That was fun!" said Four Arms who was now sitting on the beach, "I haven't had this much fun for years. No one would play with me because I'm the prince. And princes don't play, they study. Thank you for being my friend."

Diamondhead suddenly did a weird spazzing out thing, he then said, "Friend!"

--------------------------------

Four Arms saw that what was looking at him was a Tetramand. A species of his own kind. She was obviously a girl since she had long black hair and bosoms.

"Hi!" she said, "what's your name?"

"Four Arms…"

"I'm Tiny! Wanna hang out with me?"

Four Arms suddenly had déjà vu.
