A/N: 'Time Heals': I watched it at 7 this morning bcuz I had bball and a party last nite when it was on (btw, totally spazzed out when my calendar on my phone went off to tell me that it was on in five mins). I was practically in tears when Kevin was going to pound Gwen and decided to stand there instead and u knew he was gunna attack anywayz, but it was sad. And very hard to see Ben that weak. I was sadder about that than everything else. And Kevin would still pwn all so it doesn't matter whether he mutated or not. Lol. But it wasn't that funny. Gwen cannot be funneh!!! Idk y. if she tried she culd b, but she wasn't… only Paradox was. And another thing, SHE KNOWS A TIMETRAVELER! WHY NOT JUST ASK HIM TO GO BACK AND CHANGE IT????? Ugh. I was mad about that. Moving on now. Srry.

okay, these have been down for awhile, but this is a good one. Another awkward moment that Kevin decides to instigate. Let's just say this was before Julie or after her.

Disclaimer: ppsssshhhh. Eliza and Willow own Alien Force!!! Jk jk. Man of Action does. He's not me, btw.

Ben looked at Kevin, praying silently that he wouldn't decide to choose this exact moment to embarrass him. Of course, that jinxed it.

"So Ben, did you remember to take your meds?" the dark teen laughed, reaching up to brush ebony strands of hair out of his gorgeous onyx eyes. He was so full of himself. "You know, the anti-crazy ones?" Kevin suppressed a smile.

He had to find a way out of this one. "Yeah, Kev-y, I did." How was it going to work? My life is going to be a living nightmare with Kevin. Ben's thoughts strayed from the present with Willow in the car to the future and how this whole team thing was going to work out with the con artist.

This pressed a definite fight between the two. "Did you really? I mean, there are, like, thirty some you're supposed to be taking so you don't have an Incredible Hulk moment and destroy the town again like you did last time before you moved here." Kevin kept his focus on the road while his mind searched for another way to ruin the brunette boy's life.

"Yes. You helped me count them out, remember? Or did you? I forgot that you might not be able to remember what number five is."

The driver's face heated up as all the blood flushed his cheeks a bright red to contrast his pale skin. "And did you remember to bring an extra pair of pants?"

Ben's eyebrow rose. This was going to kill him. "Why?"

"You know. That condition where you can't help but wet yourself every ten minutes or something I think." Kevin was struggling to keep this up. Coming up with something else embarrassing every ten seconds was going to get hard eventually.

"Yeah. I borrowed a pair of your tighty whiteys before we left." Ben grinned, proud of himself for thinking up that one. His green gaze flicked to the girl beside him.

Her name was Willow and her hair was a reddish brown, almost copper color with streaks of blonde when the light hit it perfectly. Her smile made his heart soar past the edge of the universe and Kevin was totally ruining the moment. Her face was in a grin and her face was filled with a pastel pink blush since her skin was sun kissed and gorgeously tanned. Ben found himself smiling and her eyes met his. Hazel beyond belief. Flecked with gold and light greens and oaken browns. He found himself head over heels with her.

"Ben?" Kevin asked, reaching back to wave a hand in front of his face. "Dude, your drooling."

He caught himself a second too late and it dripped all over the front of his black shirt. It caused the driver to burst out laughing.

Willow smiled, fingering the amulet of an ivory wolf pendant and Native American beads around her neck. She shyly brushed her silky straight hair from her face, seeing Ben's expression disgusted with himself.

"Um…" Ben was still sitting there, dumbfounded.

"So about those crazy pills…" Kevin began, trying to remember how much more material he had for annoying Ben.

"I took them." Ben tried to wipe the spit from his mouth. It was still on his shirt though. He couldn't help it.

This was getting harder, Kevin decided. "And have you called your Grandpa today? You know you can't go anywhere without calling him first. Remember, Benji?" he asked, reaching back to poke the Omnitrix wielder. "Remember? Huh, Benji? Huh?" He constantly poked him every second or two.

Annoyed, the brunette boy turned his sights to the window and fingered the buttons on the Omnitrix, trying to decide whether or not to go alien and wipe Kevin's butt all over the car's windshield. (A/N: could never happen.)

"No…" Ben sighed, knowing he'd have to go through with it now. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his tiny green cell phone. Then wondered why Gwen hadn't decided to hang out with Kevin while Ben was on his date. It hit him. She didn't want to take sides on these discussions. Especially the ones where Kevin was winning and usually, he won.

"Ben?" Grandpa Max asked, picking up his phone. "What's wrong?"

"Kevin reminded me that I have to call you before I can go anywhere. He's kind of being mean to me today. Could you talk to him?"

The driver's eyes got wide as he realized the point of this. He turned to look at Ben at the next stoplight. He kept mouthing the word 'NO!' over and over again. To no avail. The brunette boy took the phone and handed it up to the driver.

"Please, Ben, no!" Kevin tried to beg last night. He looked desperate, his onyx eyes pleading. "I'll let you forget your pills for the next week. Or so. And I'll leave you alone. And I'll be nicer-ish!"

With a devilish grin, Ben knew he had a bargaining tool. Talking was not one of Kevin's strong points and getting a lecture from Max was definitely as close to torture as it could get without physically hurting him and scarring him for life. "Ish?"

"You know what? Screw it." Kevin snatched the phone and held it to his ear. "Hey, Maxwell."

"What are you doing?" was the first thing he heard. "Can't you leave Ben alone?"

Kevin was silent for a few moments before he replied with, "No."

"Just for one day?" Max asked. "He's not your brother and it's not your job to annoy him. You fix cars. Stick with that."

"Yea-no."

"Give the phone back to Ben."

The dark teen grinned. He handed the green painted phone back to Ben, dropping it in his palm. "He wants to talk to you now." Kevin turned back to the road and realized it was getting harder to come up with ways to annoy Ben. "Don't get him mad or he may have a heart attack."

That was a laugh. Both of them knew Max was tougher than a rock. And Kevin, which was hard to beat.

"Hey, Grandpa."

"Don't let Kevin get you down." The line went dead.

Ben looked to find that Max had hung up on him. He flipped the phone closed and stuffed it back into his rear pocket. "He had to go think of a punishment for you Kevin for ditching school again. What is that now? The millionth day?"

Kevin was silent for only a second before answering, "Maybe. I lost count after a hundred or so."

The pier came into view. "Okay, you guys can leave me alone now so I can drive off and make fun of you behind your backs."

"With Gwen?" Ben asked.

"She's busy." Kevin's eyes flicked to the rearview. They both knew what that meant. "You know, school and books and everything."

In other words, she was at home, uselessly reading through spell books. So far, even with Ben and Kevin helping, the cure was nowhere near being found.

"So did you remember to pay off those speeding tickets yet?"

"Get outta my car." Kevin sank back into the driver's seat.

Ben looked over to the girl next to him and found her staring and holding her hand over her mouth, stifling laughter. "You guys are funny," she said softly, her giggling just causing Ben to blush and Kevin smile widely.

"We noticed," they both said at the same time.

A/N: lol. I kinda liked the end better, but I had to come up with something and it was another one of those 'I'm gunna wing it' times. R&R!
