The day began. Frankie and I slept peacefully in our bed. The Stein girl was sleeping peacefully until she heard her alarm clock. Frankie turned off the alarm but when she opened her eyes, her face turned red when she saw that I was hugging her and now we were much more together.
"Benja. Y-You have to wake up, t-today we start our training." Said the girl with her face completely red. But her face turned redder as I got closer to her.
"Frankie." The girl's eyes turned into spirals due to her nervousness and embarrassment. All this caused the girl to release sparks and by accident she would give me an electro shock causing me to wake up.
"Ouch. Frankie what." My face turned red when I realized that the girl and I were very close as if we were about to kiss. My heart raced being so close to the girl and Frankie felt her heart pounding too.
"Me. I'm sorry umm, I have to go to the bathroom!!" Frankie yelled before running into her bathroom before closing the door behind her and holding her chest due to her heart pounding.
At that moment he touches my chest to calm my heart and try to relax. I don't understand why, but when I was with Frankie I felt like I was completely at peace. I know it had been a while since my arrival, but. Because I felt like I couldn't separate myself from Frankie?
"Calm down Frankie, calm down." The girl ran to the bathroom sink before starting to wash her face with cold water. First it was last night's dream, then the hug, and now her heart pounding. What was she going through?
"Remember. First you have to be his friend, then you have to slowly open up to him." Frankie said as the girl looked at herself in the mirror and calmed down.
"I have to tell the girls about my dream. Maybe they can help me." Said the girl while everything she heard in her dream echoed in her head.
I was putting on my clothes and waiting for Frankie. The girl walked out causing me to look at the Stein girl with concern.
"Frankie, is everything okay? Is something wrong?" I asked with concern making the girl laugh.
"I'm fine, Benja. It's nothing. I just had a little nightmare, it's nothing. Umm, I'll be right back." the girl said before leaving the room leaving me a little confused and worried about the girl's way of being.
Frankie walked slowly down the stairs to the kitchen. The girl noticed that there were some pancakes and a couple of toasts on the table, she walked until she reached the table where there was a note before reading it.
"Hello Frankie. Sorry if we can't join you for breakfast today but we had some important business to attend to so we had to leave very early. We'll leave breakfast ready for you, I hope you have a good day today with your friends. One more thing, play your dad's tape recorder before you start breakfast. Love, mom."
Frankie looked at her father's tape recorder before playing the audio.
"Its alive!!." Viktor's voice was heard loudly as lightning struck like in a horror movie. That made Frankie laugh a bit before he came back into the room with me.
"Hey Benja, let's go to breakfast. My parents are not here." The girl said with a smile as the two of us walked back to the kitchen.
"I can give you a piece of my pancakes if you want. I don't want you to just eat toast." The girl said as she gave me half of her pancakes.
"Frankie is not necessary, really. I can make my own breakfast." I said with an embarrassed smile.
"Don't worry, Benja. I also have cereal, you can eat my pancakes in peace." Frankie said as the girl and I sat down.
"Thank you, Frankie. Seriously, you do too much for me. You let me live with you, you help me and now this? I feel like I owe you a lot." I said with a shy smile making the girl laugh.
"Don't worry, Benja. You are my friend, I always help my friends." Frankie said with a sweet smile before starting to eat breakfast with me.
Frankie was a little nervous. The girl didn't want to talk about her dream with me, however the image of Diana still didn't leave her mind.
"Benja. Can I ask you a question?" Frankie asked causing me to look at the girl.
"Yesterday you said that you felt very happy, you even said that you never felt so happy in your whole life. Why?" The girl asked making me look at my plate with a little sadness.
"In metropolis, when I have a magic show or other things like playing an instrument or singing. I always have to contain my magic so it doesn't get out of control, but." Frankie noticed that my eyes seemed dull and I sighed sadly.
"I always wondered what it would be like to just be me. I mean, I love my life as a hero and I love the things I do but. I always have to wear my powers with a suit and always hide my secret identity, and I understand that that's a big responsibility And that keeping my powers hidden is part of the life of a hero."
"But sometimes I feel like I want to stop wearing my mask and start using my powers with complete freedom, however I always have to keep everything a secret and it's hard to be myself. That's why when I sang I felt very happy because I felt that I could finally be free and that I could finally let go and use my magic freely."
"I know I shouldn't. But I just wanted to know what it felt like to use my magic with complete freedom without having to wear my hero outfit." I said with some sadness causing Frankie to be surprised.
"Benja. In metropolis, do you do more than just train or save the city?" The girl asked curiously as she looked at me.
"Go on dates with my team, play on my school's soccer team, work on sweet justice, or practice on my guitar." I said looking at the girl.
"But. Have you never had fun before at a party or been able to be yourself at a school event like a fair?" Frankie asked with some concern causing me to sigh.
"I can't. In metropolis only my team knows my truth and my story as well as other people, but no one in our school knows about us or the rest of the city. It's something that my team and I take very seriously when we have to maintain our secret identity." I said as I look back at my plate.
Frankie at that time thought about everything and then remembered last night's dream. The girl looked at my eyes and she saw that they seemed dull which made Frankie very worried. She at that moment had an idea, but a part of herself said that maybe it would be a crazy idea but the other part of her. She said that she could help.
"Benja. I. I talked to Ghoulia last time and. We want you to go back to your dimension but." Frankie was going to continue talking but she noticed that my gaze became duller.
"I heard it all. I won't be able to go back to Metropolis, I know that." I said sadly but at that moment I saw that Frankie took my hand causing me to be surprised.
"Benja. What I want to say is that, if you are happy here with us then we will do our best to make you feel like in the metropolis. You have done many things for us and even fought until the end. You are an amazing person with a big heart , not just for being a hero. You are our friend, and someone important to us." Frankie said with a smile making me blush.
"But Frankie. What if they need me?" I asked with concern but the girl gave me a hug making my blush deepen.
"Did you forget? They're the Teen Titans, they'll be fine. Someday you'll be with them again, but I think what you need is rest." The girl said causing me to look at this curiously.
"Rest? But, I'm fine." I said surprised but I saw that the girl started laughing.
"That's not what I mean. I mean you need to relax and start having fun. We won't be Diana or some girl on your team, but we want you to have fun and live life to the fullest. Not just as a hero , but as a teenager like us." Frankie said with a smile looking into my eyes causing me to be surprised and blush.
It was all true. During my life in metropolis, my biggest concern was to make sure my whole team and my city was safe, I lived my life as a hero and as a student but I hardly had any time to have fun due to my trainings. Diana had once told me that resting and doing other things were important and that life was not just about training.
"Thanks Frankie, I think you're right. I need to relax a bit, maybe here in New Salem I can do things that I can hardly do in the metropolis." I said with a shy smile making the girl smile.
"That's the attitude Benja. I promise that the girls and I will do our best to make you have fun." Frankie said with a smile as she looked into my eyes.
The silence became intense and somewhat awkward as we both didn't look away from each other. I felt my heart race a bit, my kitsune tails twitched slightly and my ears seemed to relax and lower a bit. Frankie also seemed to feel his heart racing and neither of them took their eyes off the other.
That feeling again. Now I felt completely at peace and calm, my eyes couldn't stop seeing Frankie's eyes as I felt my heart beating very fast again and my kitsune tails were making a shape. A heart.
'What's happening to me?. I can't stop looking at Frankie's eyes, but. They are very beautiful. I can't stop watching them. This. What happens to me?.' I said in my mind as I felt like my heart seemed about to explode.
'Voltage, Frankie stop looking Benja in the eye you make him feel uncomfortable!!. But why can't I move? What's wrong with me!?" Said the girl in her mind as her face turned red.
Frankie and I looked at each other. We felt complete peace and tranquility, as if time were slower. Slowly we both started to slowly get closer as that feeling got stronger and our hearts increased.
"What's happening to me?."
"Because I can't stop looking at it!?"
"I can't move, what's wrong with me!?"
"Because. Being with him."
"It makes me feel at peace. What's wrong with me!? Why can't I stop thinking about her!? This."
"It's not okay. We're friends but."
"I feel like I can't stop being with him/her." Frankie and I thought at the same time as our faces were very close. My hair seemed to slowly catch fire as Frankie was releasing electricity from her neck.
The distance between the two began to get shorter and shorter. When our lips were going to meet, suddenly the door of the house opened causing both of us to get out of our trance.
"Frankie. Honey, are you here?" Viveka's voice made Frankie and I freeze.
"It's my mom, Benja, quickly hide." Frankie said with concern causing me to quickly leave the house and hide in the backyard just as Viveka reached the kitchen.
"Hello how are you mom?." Frankie asked a little nervously.
"Very well. Sorry, I forgot my bag and I came to get it." Viveka said with a smile as the woman took her bag but she noticed that there was another plate with pancakes on the table making Frankie break out in a sweat.
"Frankie, darling. Can you explain to me why there's another plate on the table?" Viveka asked with a raised eyebrow causing the Stein girl to turn pale and start to sweat a little.
"Umm, well. It's just these pancakes um." Frankie got nervous because of her mother's look at her but then she saw the clock in the living room making the girl have an idea.
"Mom, look at the time!!" Frankie yelled causing Viveka to look at the clock and be very surprised.
"Damn, I'll be late for my meeting. I'll see you later Frankie, we'll talk about this later." Viveka said before leaving the house making the Stein girl sigh in relief.
Frankie sighed in relief before remembering what was going to happen making her face red with embarrassment. I was outside while looking at everything from a window, but I also held my chest remembering everything making my face turn red as well.
"Frankie / Benjamin." The Stein girl and I were putting our hands on our chests to calm our hearts.
After what happened, Frankie and I went back to breakfast but shyly. Neither of us said a word and every time our eyes met we looked away in embarrassment.
Hours passed and it was already ten o'clock. Frankie and I were in the woods waiting for the rest of the team, the girl and I were trying to get a word out but it was kind of hard. The image of us almost kissing each other was still in our heads.
"So. Benja, what are you going to do? I mean, once training is over. Umm, me. You want to go somewhere like umm. How about we go to the cafeteria after training or an ice cream parlor." Frankie said with nerves and a bit of a blush while I was also a bit of a blush.
"I guess that would be fine. Umm, I think after training I could take a break. There haven't been many robberies lately and the streets are quiet though. I can't get the new Waps gear out of my mind, maybe I can rest and keep my guard up if something bad happens." I said looking at the girl.
"Okay, but. If you can't rest today, we can do it another day." Frankie said but that surprised me a lot and I felt a cold in my chest.
"Nope!!." My statement really surprised Frankie causing me to look away with a completely red face.
"I mean. Today, I'm fine. I think I can rest, plus my homework is done so I don't have much to do." I said nervously while playing with my hair. Frankie on the other hand had to hold back the urge to shriek with delight at hearing that.
At that moment we heard the noise of an engine and saw Draculaura arriving in her car with the rest of the team.
"Good morning, Benja. We are ready for our training!!" The vampire girl yelled as she and the rest of the team got out of the car, all wearing comfortable clothes for training.
"Perfect. Very well everyone, welcome to the teen titans. During these days I will teach you the basics but also the most important thing about being a hero. Does anyone have any questions?" I asked looking at everyone and I saw Cleo raise her hand.
"Yes, I have a question. What will our hero names be like?" The girl from Nile asked curiously making everyone look at me.
"Your names will be decided soon. At the moment I think Draculaura decided to use the name Batgirl. Now, let's go train." I said with a smile as we all walked deeper into the forest.
We were all now facing to one side. The boys watched as I began to walk on the water before facing everyone.
"Very well. Draculaura, I want you to come forward please." I said looking at the vampire girl. Draculaura flashed a smile and walked over to where I was.
"Draculaura. You have full control of your vampire powers, one of your abilities is to transform into a bat and generate a sonic shriek. However, we will have to improve your acrobatic skills to avoid any enemy attacks."
"Your task will be to try to attack me, though. You'll have to use your bat transformation and dodge my attacks until you get to where I am. Do you think you can do it?" I asked curiously making the girl smile.
"I'll show you. I'm ready." Draculaura said with a smile before transforming.
They all watched as Draculaura quickly began to fly to where I was. However, the vampire girl saw how I began to launch jets of water causing her to dodge them with some difficulty. Halfway up, Draculaura watched as I stomped on the water and suddenly a torrent of gunfire erupted from under her.
Draculaura began to dodge each attack with more difficulty but was suddenly surprised by a shot of water causing her to fall into the water before returning to her original form.
"Draculaura!!" They all cried out in concern but heard the girl giggle a bit before she sat down in the water.
"I think I got distracted, you attacked me by surprise." The vampire girl said with a shy smile as I helped the girl up.
"A lot of villains take their chance to attack by surprise. I think you need to broaden your senses as a bat more, maybe that way you can prevent future attacks from behind." I said as he helped Draculaura to the shore.
"Okay, this is just a hurdle. I promise I'll get better." Draculaura said with a smile as I created a small fire for the girl to dry her clothes.
"Alright. Cleo, now it's your turn." I said before giving a strong stomp causing some rock pillars to rise in the middle of the lake. The first pillars were small but later they grew until they reached the top of the trees.
"Cleo. Your bandages are very strong and resistant, they are perfect for attacking and immobilizing enemies. But I also think you can use them as climbing tools. Your test will be to use your bandages to swing on the pillars until you reach the highest, you will have to Use your amulet and acrobatic skills to dodge my attacks. Are you ready?" I asked looking at the girl.
"Okay. But tell me, exactly how do you want me to swing on wet pillars?" The girl asked with curiosity and a raised eyebrow.
"In this way." I said as my hair changed color and was now mint green just like my eyes. They all watched as I released vines from my hands and began to acrobatically and effortlessly swing down the pillars until I reached the tallest pillar.
"Come on Cleo, your turn!!" I yelled from the top making the girl just get a little flustered and look at her amulet before relaxing and getting ready.
"This is going to get interesting." Clawdeen said with a slightly mocking smile as they all watched Cleo get ready.
Cleo began to run and using her bandages began to swing with great difficulty through the pillars but the girl was surprised when a water arrow almost hit her but that made her lose concentration and suddenly the girl was about to fall into the water, however some vines caught her and carried the girl to shore.
"Cleo lost your concentration. When a villain attacks you have to be aware of his movements as you approach him, that's why I said use your cheerleading skills to dodge the attacks." I said looking at the girl but that bothered Cleo.
"How the fuck do you want me to use my cheerleading steps in this stupid practice!?" Cleo yelled angrily but that scared me.
"Don't be mad Cleo. I can show you." I said nervously before looking at Abbey and Jinafire.
"Abbey, Jinafire. Can you do me a favor? I need you to attack me using your powers, I'll dodge." I said looking at the girls. They looked at each other doubtfully.
"Are you sure, Benja? It sounds very dangerous and we don't want you to get hurt." Abbey said with some concern.
"I'll be fine girls, attack." I said smiling while getting ready.
Abbey and Jinafire started attacking me with ice bolts and fire blasts. They all watched as I started jumping around, doing acrobatic moves like somersaults and various tricks that Cleo knew from her years as a cheerleader. Everyone watched as I used the trees and branches to keep dodging until I made a shield to block the last few attacks.
"See, Cleo? I can do this kind of thing because of my flexibility and agility, something you have. As a cheerleader you can do tricks that can help you dodge enemy attacks but you have to perfect your style before we're in any combat. " I said while looking at Cleo. The girl was completely shocked by everything she saw.
"But. How can I perfect what I already know?" Cleo asked with confusion and curiosity.
"Very simple. If you exercise your body more, you continue to train and improve your endurance. I assure you that you will be more flexible and you will be able to do tricks more easily." I said smiling before looking at Deuce and Clawd.
"Deuce, Clawd. I want you guys to get ready" I said before facing the two teens.
"You guys were very brave in attacking Bane and Killer Croc, but it was also very dangerous. Those villains have near-inhuman physiques and stamina, not to mention they can easily do some pretty serious damage. The understanding of the two of you will be training in combat."
"I will teach you how to fight close combat and fighting styles. Deuce, I need to train with you with your power, you have the ability to turn people to stone and it is a very good ability. However, you run the risk that if you attack is reflected you may turn to stone. So don't use your power until you see the right moment." I said while looking at Cleo's boyfriend.
"Clawd, I'm going to train you so you can fight. You said you're on every sports team in school and that means you have great stamina and strength, but I need to know if you can handle the training I'm going to give you." I said before getting into a combat pose.
"Now. I want you two to attack me." I said while looking at my friends. That really surprised Clawd and Deuce.
"Benja, are you sure?" The werewolf asked curiously.
"I'm pretty sure, let's go." I said while still in combat pose.
Clawd and Deuce looked at each other before walking over to where I was and attacking me. The werewolf quickly took a swing at me but I blocked it without difficulty before dodging an attack from Cleo's boyfriend.
"Again." I said seriously causing Deuce and Clawd to get serious as well.
Deuce tried to kick but I quickly swept the teen's legs down, Clawd tried to attack but I parried his attack before kicking his stomach causing the werewolf to back up.
Deuce and Clawd became serious and began to attack me quickly while I dodged the attacks without any difficulty. That annoyed the werewolf a lot making his eyes glow a little amber.
"Stop moving!!" Clawd let out a loud howl before attacking with all his might causing me to quickly parry his blow as well as Deuce.
The silence became deep. Clawd and Deuce were a little worried because I was so quiet but then they saw me smile.
"Interesting. From what I see, your wild nature as a werewolf is capable of increasing your strength and speed when attacking. However, I see that you can only use that nature when you are enraged. We need to improve that to prevent anger from controlling you. If that happens, then you lose concentration and let the enemy attack you."
"I think I can help you channel that anger and help you improve your attacks using that werewolf nature, it won't be easy since I don't know the engine to achieve it, but we will find something." I said smiling making Clawd smile.
"Thanks, old man. I promise I'll try my best." Clawd said making me smile before looking at Abbey.
"Abbey, it's your turn." I said as the girl approached where I was.
"Abbey. You have amazing strength, stamina, and abilities. Your task will be to attack me using your ice powers, though. I want you to freeze a part of me, but you'll also have to dodge my attacks. Ready? " I asked curiously making the girl smile.
"I'm ready. Let's do it." The girl said as the two of us get into combat poses.
Abbey quickly attacked using her power but I countered her attack with a fireball creating a cloud of smoke. The girl looked everywhere for me and I suddenly jumped on her before kicking her, but Abbey managed to stop her and would try to attack using her ice beam but I barely dodged it before attacking from behind with a fireball.
Abbey quickly recovered before attacking with an ice ray, but I made a big jump so that the attack hit a wall, I quickly made a big jump from a branch making it now on top of the girl. Wasting no time, I released some fireballs which forced Abbey to cover herself with a dome of ice.
Abbey was going to attack but suddenly the dome exploded due to a blunt blow from me causing the girl to fall to the ground.
"Very good. Abbey, you have a good command of your power, but you need to improve a lot in predicting attacks from enemies and take advantage of any carelessness of them to attack, creating that dome was a very good idea to take care of those attacks but it took you a long time in counter-attacking. But I'm sure I can teach you how to improve your fighting form." I said smiling as I helped Abbey up.
"Very well. Jinafire, I think you're the last but. Where is Vandala?" I asked curiously seeing that the ghost girl was not there.
"She said she'd be busy. She said she found something in the catacombs and needed to do some research." Draculaura said as the vampire girl looked at me.
"Well. In that case, Jinafire. Among the others in the team, you are the girl with the most experience and skills in combat but especially in training. It means that you may not need to train, but you will need to improve a little if you want to be a hero and learn the necessary things." I said while looking at the girl.
"Well. So what are we going to do?" Cleo asked with a raised eyebrow.
"We are going to train until three in the afternoon. Then you can go home, for homework I will need each of you to think of a hero outfit and a name. Tomorrow night we will do our first team patrol, got it?" I asked curiously making everyone smile.
"Alright. Let's continue. Draculaura, keep training your acrobatic style, Cleo, keep trying to swing on the pillars, Deuce, Clawd. I want you two to spar with me, Abbey, you and Jinafire will train together." I said smiling but.
"Wait, Benja. You forgot about me." My entire body turned pale before I looked at Clawdeen.
"By Zeus. I was so focused on training the others that I completely forgot about it. Umm. Deuce, Clawd. Can you two train together against each other? I have to train Clawdeen and Frankie." I said while looking at the boys making them smile.
"Don't worry benja, Clawd and I sometimes watch wrestling on TV. I think we'll be fine training together." Deuce said with a smile.
"Very well. Clawdeen, Frankie. You two will train with me." I said smiling while the girls also showed a smile.
We all start training. Draculaura was using the local trees to enhance her acrobatic moves, Cleo was using her amulet to swing on the pillars, Clawd and Deuce had a practice match as well as Abbey and Jinafire. I on the other hand was looking at Clawdeen and Frankie.
"Alright girls. I'm going to teach you how to fight. My way of fighting is one that Jinafire taught me, normally I should show you Diana's fighting style. But I think karate will be a much easier and better option to fight." I said smiling while looking at my friends.
"Great. I already want to break Mr. Freeze's face when I have him in front of me." Clawdeen said with a smile.
"The first thing will be to warm up before starting. We will try to do basic exercises and I will slowly increase the number of repetitions that we will do, I do not want them to hurt themselves." I said smiling before starting to do stretches and little exercises with the girls.
The girls and I started with something basic. Sit-ups, push-ups and squats. But later.
"Very well. Now jump star." I said before I started jumping and spreading my arms and legs over and over again. The girls started to do the exercise but my face turned red when I saw Clawdeen. The girl was doing the exercise well but I couldn't help but notice that her breasts bounced a bit causing me to quickly look away.
"I think that's enough, umm. We started training. Clawdeen, ready to learn how to fight?" I asked shyly while looking at the wolf girl. When she heard that, she got excited but we didn't notice that Frankie seemed a little serious.
"Yes, come on. Teach me everything Jinafire taught you." Clawdeen said with a smile as we both get into fighting stances.
Frankie just watched as Clawdeen and I were training. The girl didn't understand why, she had seen me when I looked at Clawdeen's breasts. That made Frankie look at her body, she didn't understand why but. Why did she make her feel so uncomfortable and why did that feeling grow when the wolf girl started training with me?
"Wait Benja, I want to train too!!" Frankie yelled as the girl quickly joined the practice match.
"Are you sure Frankie? Your seams are going to withstand it?" I asked looking at the girl with a bit of concern.
"I'll be fine, Benja. Come on, I want to get better too." The girl said with a smile as she got into a combat pose.
The day continued normally. We had all been training until three in the afternoon, the rest of the team was now resting after having trained so much. At that time I started giving everyone bottles of water as well as some apples.
"Very good everyone, I'm very proud. You gave your best effort and managed to complete today's training, I think you'll be ready to patrol tomorrow night. But remember, you need your hero costumes and above all a name to cover your identities. That is something very important and something that they must take into account, nobody besides us must know this."
"A life as a hero means that your secret identities must be kept well guarded, only you can trust each other to hide this secret. Once you help me stop a robbery or something much bigger, don't say your names. As you can see, everyone in Monster High know about me. Try not to make the same mistake I did, or I'm afraid it could get worse." I said while looking at my team.
"Don't worry Benja, no one but us will know about this." Deuce said with a smile making me smile.
"Very well. That's all for today, you can go back to your homes and don't forget to train but above all think of an outfit and names for yourselves. I'll see you all at the entrance of Monster High tomorrow night." I said smiling as everyone went to Draculaura's car but at that moment Frankie took my hand.
"Benja, wait. Umm, I was wondering if. Well, we could go get some ice cream together now that training is over and it's still a nice day." Frankie said shyly making me blush and smile shyly.
"Sure. I'd love to, um. So, I'll go into town right now. I'll see you at the Maul." I said timidly before flying away but as I flew away my face was completely red and I felt my heart beating very hard.
Frankie had a huge smile on her face and squealed with delight as she waved her arms around excitedly but then she noticed something and turned around only to see Draculaura. The vampire girl's mouth was open and she was clearly surprised.
"It can't be. You're going on a date with Benja!!!." Draculaura shouted with a huge smile but that made the Stein girl very red.
"Draculaura, don't yell!! It's not a date, I just want Benja to relax and do more than just train." Frankie said nervously but that caught Draculaura's attention.
"I don't understand. Benja trains all the time since we met him, why all of a sudden now you want him to rest? I mean, it's fine but. Why do you want him to do more than just train?" The vampire girl asked curiously but that made Frankie nervous.
"Draculaura. me." Frankie noticed the girl's gaze and then looked at the rest of the team. Everyone was chatting about today's training.
"Okay, Draculaura. I'll tell you what's going on, but you have to promise not to tell anyone." Frankie said seriously making the vampire girl serious too.
Frankie would tell Draculaura everything about the dream she had last night. The vampire girl was very surprised by everything she heard making her think of something.
"So. Did you have a dream where Benja was with Diana, you saw them having an argument and you suddenly woke up to Benja running away crying?" Draculaura asked in surprise but she noted that Frankie still looked serious.
"Yes. But not only that, Benja told me that all the time he is protecting the city and training in his dimension but above all. He told me that when he tries to play his guitar, sing or something related to a school event. Benja always has have to contain his power to keep from breaking free." Frankie said making Draculaura think.
"Well, it's understandable. Benja can't show off his powers in his dimension, otherwise he's endangering all his friends." The vampire girl said with a bit of seriousness.
"Yes, but I think he no longer wants to contain his powers to sing or play an instrument. What he wants is to be free, a little freer than he already is in Metropolis. But my real concern is that. If I think all this and the dream I had." Frankie saw Draculaura's horrified expression which was a sign that the vampire girl was getting it all.
"When they take Benja away, again he's going to feel a bit locked up in not being able to express himself." Draculaura said causing the Stein girl to nod.
"Yes. That is why we must try to make Benja feel comfortable here, I know it was a dream. But I am hopeful that Benja's team will understand what he wants and how much he loves being here, and maybe we can come to a solution who can help us." Said the girl but Draculaura thought everything.
"I don't know, Frankie. What if Benja's team refuses? What if Benja leaves his friends?" Draculaura asked with concern but she noticed that the Stein girl was holding her shoulders.
"Draculaura. That will never happen, I talked to Ghoulia and she said that it is very difficult to get Benja home, which means that if his team comes looking for him. We will have enough time to talk and we can convince them, maybe we can be in Metropolis with them or maybe Benja visits us all the time." Frankie said with a smile.
"I guess that's true. Okay, now I'd better take you to the Maul. It's not very polite for a woman to leave her boyfriend alone." Draculaura said mockingly making Frankie blush with embarrassment.
What the two girls didn't know was that Clawdeen had heard everything and was very surprised by everything. The girl didn't understand why, but when Draculaura said "date". She made Clawdeen feel uncomfortable and a little strange, the girl would decide to think about that another time and she went with the rest of her friends to the car.
I was in the Maul trying to relax my heart. I can feel that at any moment I was going to explode as I paced back and forth.
"Don't worry, Benja, don't worry. It will only be a date, no! I mean, it will be an outing with friends, yes. A romantic outing, beautiful." I stopped talking before I held back my urge to scream. I'm at the entrance to the mall and I didn't want anyone to see me scream.
'What's happening to me!?. I feel, I feel when I was on my date with Diana. This feeling, it's the same with Frankie. God I need to calm down.' I said in my mind and I saw that at that moment I noticed that Frankie was coming to where I was.
"Hello Benja, sorry if I made you wait too long." Frankie said with a shy smile as the girl was releasing electricity from her neck.
"Okay, Frankie. Don't worry, umm I thought you'd come with the rest of the team." I said shyly making the girl laugh a little.
"Well, Draculaura took everyone home. They were serious about costumes and hero names, so I asked Draculaura to bring me to the Maul and then he went to get his costume upgraded." The Stein girl said with a shy smile.
"Well. We'd better go get our ice cream, or we can do other things if you want. It's a nice day." I said with a smile making the girl smile.
"Well, umm. Why don't we go see a movie? I heard there's a new movie opening in the theater today." Frankie said with a soft smile.
"Of course I would love to." I said smiling as we both went to the movies. However, if someone saw us they could swear that our hands wanted to join but we pushed them away.
Today had been a quiet day. Frankie and I had enjoyed the movie, then we had gone to play a couple of video games. I didn't know how to say it but. Frankie's smile, his beautiful eyes, that way of laughing and his positive attitude. It made my heart race every time we were together.
Nevertheless. I couldn't help but notice that a lot of the time Frankie looked away, her screws wouldn't stop sparking or she always went to the bathroom every minute when we talked. That worried me but she always said everything was fine.
The night arrives. Frankie and I were walking around talking about how much fun today was. We both had a smile and everything seemed calm.
"So Benja, did you like the movie? I know maybe I should have chosen a more interesting movie." Frankie said with a bit of embarrassment making her laugh a little.
"I loved it. It was a very funny and very good movie, I really enjoyed the movie you chose." I said with a shy smile making the girl smile.
Frankie and I made it to his house. We both sat on the small front steps and looked up at the moon in the sky.
"Benja. Umm, can I. Ask you a question?" Frankie asked nervously causing me to look at the girl.
"Of course Frankie, any questions." I said smiling making the girl try to calm down before looking at the moon again.
"What if, once we stop Waps, you can't go back to your dimension?" Frankie asked nervously causing everything to go silent.
"To be honest. I would feel very sad and. Devastated, in metropolis I made many friends and. Honestly, losing them all is very sad and heartbreaking for me but." At that moment I looked at the moon and spoke again.
"I know my friends will be able to protect metropolis even the whole world in my absence. I love everyone but, if I can't return to my home. Then I have no choice but to adjust to living here in New Salem, but. To be honest, I like this city." I said smiling while looking at the city in the distance.
"But. I still hold out hope that one day I'll find them again, but. As the days go by, I feel like I'm losing that hope. And that I'll just have to face the truth, that this will be my new home." I said sadly but at that moment Frankie took my hand making me look at the girl with a slight blush.
"Benja. We understand that you want to come back, but I promise you that everything will be fine. Maybe this city is not like Metropolis and maybe we don't have the same things as in your dimension, but I can promise you that all of us will be here for you and to help you forever."
"Just think of all the friends you made here. All of us are rooting for you and we love you for everything you do for us and also for who you are. When you arrived, you gave a message to everyone. You gave a message of that now everyone would be protected from any threat or danger."
"Every time you save someone's life, people and monsters always see you as an example to follow. Also, you showed us that we can all be strong and that was when Bane attacked the city and Waps tried to destroy Monster High."
Frankie walked over to me and touched my cheek causing my blush to deepen.
"You are an amazing person. And I can promise you, all of us will help you. We are your friends, your team, and your family. Monster High is your home, and we will never leave you behind." Frankie said with a smile but also a blush.
"Frankie. That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard, me. I want to thank you too." Frankie saw that I had a smile and took her hand making her blush a lot.
"If it wasn't for you, Clawdeen, Cleo or Draculaura. Maybe I was lost in this town, all of you did so many things for me that I can't be so happy. Now I have friends, a new school, a new mission and a new world full of things I've never known. Not to mention. I love being with all of you."
"All the time. You all make me feel happy, safe and free at Monster High. I feel like I couldn't have done any of this if it wasn't for what you did for me. I am forever grateful to you and I promise. disappoint and I will always be there to help, support and care for them. They are my family now. And I will never leave them." I said with a smile making Frankie smile.
We both looked at each other sheepishly before looking away with a smile but our hands were still together. We both glanced at each other before meeting each other's eyes as our hearts raced.
My kitsune tails began to wag, my ears relaxed and slowly lowered as my hair seemed to slowly cover itself with fire. Frankie felt his heart race faster and faster as his electricity seemed to spark non-stop.
Slowly. Frankie and I moved closer as our hands seemed to clench in complete shyness, our hearts beating faster and faster as the distance between us slowly closed.
"Frankie / Benjamin." Slowly we both began to close our eyes while my hair was covered in fire as well as my tails and the girl did not stop releasing electricity.
Slowly the distance began to get smaller. All the time seemed to slow down, nobody bothered us and everything was calm. Our lips were going to meet but before we could get to the kiss.
"It's too late now, Frankie isn't answering my calls. Ugh, Viktor's looking for the car keys. We'll have to find Frankie."
"Love, relax. Frankie may be watching a movie or having a sleepover with her friends, I highly doubt she's too busy not getting our calls." At that moment the door was opened by Frankie's parents. The adults blanched when they saw that Frankie and I were going to kiss but when they saw us the girl and I quickly stood up.
The place was filled with a deep silence. Viveka and Viktor were pale with shock, the two adults didn't move a single muscle and didn't know what to say or how to react. Frankie and I on the other hand were red with embarrassment and steam rising from our bodies due to embarrassment and nerves.
'Shit...' Was all Frankie thought with great concern as the girl looked at her father. She knew her father very well, and she knew this. It may not end well.
