Been quite awhile, hope you all are ready for another oneshot. This was written as kinda an AU of Alien Force, some point in the series Ben and Gwen kind of get together, then are sent back in time. And so, this oneshot occurs. Enjoy.

A flash of light blinded the two teenagers, forcing the two of them to the ground; covering their eyes.
"Ow! What the heck was that!?" Ben Tennyson squealed in pain, rubbing his eyes. Gwen however, sat up and began blinking rapidly. "I don't..." She trailed off, her eyes roaming the surrounding area. "What?" Ben sat up with a start,
gasping as he took in the world around him. The two of them felt tears coming to their eyes, grins stretching across their faces.
Those grins vanished for only a moment when the two caught sight of one another, then reappeared. "We're back!" Ben tackled his cousin, the two laughing hysterically as they hugged one another. "Well, what do we have here? And here I thought you two were gonna hate this summer trip!" Ben scrambled off of Gwen with a blush, Gwen ignored his comment and hugged her Grandfather; who just barely managed to keep his grip on the grocery bags he was holding. "Woah, Pumpkin! I was only inside for ten minutes." She pull back from her grandfather and wiped her eyes. "Sorry, Grandpa Max."
He chuckled, and ruffled her hair. "It's all right." He walked past her and placed the bags on the kitchenette table. "All right, now that we've gotten what I need for dinner; we can get to the camp site."

Ben and Gwen sat in silence, Ben was staring at the empty spot on his wrist, while Gwen began pondering over the time jump the two teenagers had made. "Okay, I've made notes of what has happened so far. First, we were fighting the alien of the week, second; we were blinded.
And now? We're ten again." She groaned in frustration, then closed her laptop. "It hurts my child brain trying to figure it out."
She stared at her cousin, he seemed almost terrified. "Ben?" His eyes met hers, a sheepish grin on his face. "Sorry, just wondering at my wrist skin." Gwen stifled a laugh, then reached over and touched his wrist. Ben flinched at the contact, his eyes meeting hers. "We might be able to fix this."

The fire crackled, Max was roasting meal worms over the fire. "You kids'll love this, meal worm is a treat out here." Gwen and Ben glanced at each other, the words reminding them of their Grandpa's past. Ben took a bowl, staring at it for a moment. "It can't be that bad, if you say it's a treat." Gwen repressed a gag, and forced a smile. "Yeah, maybe Ben's right." Max's eyes widened, then he smiled softly. "All right then." He handed the two children sporks, then served himself a heaping bowl of meal worm. "Dig in!"
The two grimaced, then took a bite of one of the meal worms. Ben's eyes widened in surprise, Gwen squeaked. "Huh. Grandpa, did you season this?"
Max raised an eyebrow. "What, you think I'm a savage? Why wouldn't I season the meal worms?" He took a chunk of them, and began chewing.
"They taste very bland without seasoning." The taste that Ben and Gwen experienced was one of fried chicken.

As the fire began to flicker and die, the two children laughed as their grandfather regaled them with tales of his youth. (Without all of the aliens, of course.) Max let out a loud sigh, then stared up at the sky. "You know, I thought this was going to turn out differently."
Gwen and Ben raised an eyebrow. "You thought we would ignore you for the night?" Max smiled sheepishly. "Well, yeah. I mean... Your grandpa the plumber isn't exactly the most exciting person to be around." Ben grinned. "Are you kidding, Grandpa? If we felt that way, why would Gwen and I agree to go on this road trip?" Max's sheepish expression vanished, replaced by a tearful smile. "You surprise me, Ben." Ben chuckled, leaning against Gwen, who squealed indignantly as they fell off the log. Suddenly, a meteorite flew overhead. Max stood up in surprise, the two children cast knowing looks at each other.

"Kids, stay back." Max slowly approached the glowing crater, but was suddenly halted. "Huh?" He tried to take another step, but his body felt sluggish. Ben passed him, approaching the glowing crater. "Ben! Stay back, it could be dangerous!" Ben turned back to his grandpa with a sad smile.
"Grandpa, I know just how dangerous this is." Max began to panic. "Ben, no! Gwen, stop him!" Gwen stepped into his field of vision, her eyes glowing blue. "Sorry, Grandpa. But this is how it's supposed to go." Gears turned at high speeds in Max's head, they screeched to a grinding halt as he came to a conclusion. Gwen had found out what she was, and Ben knew something of the future. "Ben?" The crater began glowing green as Ben stepped over the lip. A flash of light, and the green was gone. Ben slowly stepped back over the lip, a grin on his face. "Oh, Ben..." Max said sadly,
eyeing the piece of Alien Tech on his grandson's wrist. "Yeah, The Omnitrix."

Ben and Gwen sat at the table, their grandpa was silent as they drove on. Gwen across the table and grasped Ben's hand, uncertainty showing on her face.
"You think this will work?" Ben grinned cockily. "It has too." He gripped it tightly, bringing a blush to Gwen's face. "And what about... Us?"
Ben blushed, then shrugged. "We've got a whole 'nother summer to work this out. I'm not worried." He leaned forward, and kissed Gwen on the cheek.
Max watched the exchange in the mirror, his mind focusing on what possible future could these two have that led them back in time.
