Ben was facing his greatest challenge yet. He'd given it his all, but his opponent had matched him move for move.

"He's good." Ben said grimly..

"And you're an idiot" Gwen deadpanned, shaking her head as Ben and a boy in the car driving alongside them made silly faces at each other.

Pausing his contest to glare at his cousin, Ben turned back just as the boy shoved a hamburger into his mouth, chewing it up and showing the mess to Ben.

"The seafood special." He said with unusual seriousness. Gwen meanwhile gagged in disgust.

"Time for the secret weapon" Ben smirked, preparing to activate the Chaquetrix.

"Are you nuts?!" Gwen snapped, attempting to pull his hand away.

The two ended up on the floor as a flash of purple shone through the window. The boy watched in confusion as the two dropped out of view, only to let out a shocked gasp as a new figure rose up into sight.

Stingwing looked around in an attempt to see why she'd been called, when she noticed the boy in the car opposite. Giving him a friendly wave she flinched back as the boy began screaming, the boy's screams attracting the attention of his father at the wheel.

Looking back the man's jaw dropped as he spotted, what could only be described as, a sexy bug lady watching them from the R.V's window. He was so distracted the car nearly drifted off the road, leaving him to desperately struggle to get it back under control.

Wincing guiltily as the car sped off, Stingwing took a step back only to feel her leg brush up against something. Looking down her wings buzzed in annoyance as she spotted the pair.

Ben and Gwen were still tangled from the scuffle, but the pair managed to look up as Stingwing huffed jealously. As Gwen pierced together what the 'hero' was thinking she blanched before shoving Ben away.

"Not in a million years!" she said, shaking her head to clear away those unpleasant thoughts as she went to sit down.

Frowning at Gwen's dismissal of Ben, Stingwing spat out a glob of slime just as she sat down. Jumping up with a squeak of disgust, Gwen glared at the smug alien and her laughing cousin.

"Real mature" she snapped, attempting to wipe off some of the slime.

"Oh come on Gwen, funny is funny" Ben chuckled, as Stingwing helped him up.

His laughter was cut short as the Rust Bucket came to a sudden stop, sending Ben and Stingwing tumbling forward as the pair ended up in a heap beside the driver's seat.

"Ben get up he-" Max began before pausing at the sight of Stingwing lying on top of Ben "Am I interrupting something?" he asked, aiming for disapproval but ending up more embarrassed.

"No/Maybe" Ben/Stingwing replied. Ben tilted his head quizzically at Stingwing's answer. "Huh?" he muttered as they got to their feet.

"Never mind" Max interrupted quickly, gesturing out of the windshield at an overturned tanker "A propane truck crashed, & if those flames ignite it that truck is going to take an unexpected trip to orbit"

"No worries grandpa, we got this" Ben said confidently, pulling Stingwing along as he led them out.

"I love it when you take charge" Stingwing sighed happily, as Gwen let her head smack onto the table.

Once they exited the R.V they could hear the panicked cries of the other motorists, the driver of the propane truck was stuck inside the cab and the flames were about to reach him!

Pausing only to let Ben hop onto her back, Stingwing quickly moved to hover over the burning vehicle. The heat forced her to hover back, growling in frustration at being unable to get closer.

As the pair tried to work out a plan, Max tried to keep the crowd back "Stay back! Let's give the…lady…room to work" he soon noticed however, that most of the crowd were more focused on the 'hero' than the accident "Seriously people, time and place" he chided.

Meanwhile Ben was wishing he'd been able to summon Heart's Fire. Not that he'd say that out loud, he remembered how cruddy XLR8 felt during the Krakken incident, and despite what Gwen said he 'could' learn from his mistakes….sometimes.

Speaking of Gwen, Ben was reminded of Stingwing's prank on her and felt something click in his head.

"Stingwing, can you use your spit to smother the flames?" he asked, Stingwing looking back in surprise before smiling.

It didn't take long for the 'hero' to strafe the truck, with the flames taken care of it was a simple job to cut the truck cab open with her stinger and rescue the stunned driver.

Dropping the driver off near the crowd, Stingwing hovered back, smiling as Ben congratulated her on a job well done. The moment was ruined however when a scream rang out, the pair looked to see the young boy and his father from earlier.

"AAAHH! It's the bug that ate that girl! It must be saving him for a snack!" the boy wailed, drawing worried looks from the crowd.

"Oh he's a snack alright" Stingwing replied cheekily, the crowd shifting from concern for his life to concern for something else.

"Man these guys can't take a joke" Ben thought obliviously, before urging her to fly off.

Safely out of sight of the crowd the duo hid behind a sign just down the road, promising that "you'll have a ball with 'IT!". With Ben mentioning that Max had been taking them to see 'IT', the pair made guesses as to what 'IT' could be until the Chaquetrix timed out.

Once reunited the Tennysons continued their trip, Ben and Gwen attempted to weasel out any hints as to what 'IT' could be, but Max refused to spoil the surprise.

After a few more minutes driving Max finally parked up, he excitedly exited the vehicle before calling out for them to follow.

"Eyes closed kids. And…open them!"

As they did whatever excitement they might have had quickly fizzled out, as they took in the town before them. 'Sparksville' was the poster child for a tourist trap town, oversized novelties and exhibits lined the streets and the two turned their confused gazes to their still grinning grandfather.

"Welcome to Sparksville! Is this place great or what?" he asked excitedly.

"Or what, Definitely or what" Ben deadpanned.

"Come on! What's more exciting than the world's largest fish bowl?" Max asked, gesturing to the exhibit in question.

"Does he want the list alphabetically or..?" Gwen snarked quietly, earning a snort from Ben.

The trio were soon approached by a rather bored looking man in a light blue suit "As the Mayor of Sparksville, I welcome you as seekers of wonder" he said, voice entirely monotone.

The lackluster welcome threw off even Max, before he rallied and handed the kids a pair of tickets.

"I know you two must be excited to see 'IT'. So You get going while I get us checked in"

Shrugging as their grandpa left, the pair made their way to the closest exhibit. At the small ticket stall Ben rang the bell for service, then blinked in surprise as the Mayor appeared now wearing a cap featuring the U.S flag.

"Hold on, I thought you were the Mayor?" he asked, handing over the tickets.

"He who wears the crown is burdened by many hats son" he explained, still in perfect monotone "Mind the signs" he warned as they entered the building.

Over the next hour or so, the pair checked out the various attractions Sparksville had to offer. From acting like fish in front of the world's largest fish bowl, to a food fight at the hotdog diner, the pair eventually made their way to a large barn featuring a sign reading "'IT' is here". The Mayor gestured at the barn as he stood in front of the doors.

"Through these doors lies the wildest, weirdest things ever to find its way to Sparksville" he said, somehow both dramatically and monotonously.

As he pushed the doors open to let them in, the pair walked through the dark room as various signs flashed out warnings. "Do not touch IT. Do not photograph IT. Do not use batteries or electrical equipment near IT".

"Please tell me what 'IT' is before I lose it!" Ben groaned, just as a large sign lit up confront of them reading "This is 'IT'!"

As the sign lifted up and the lights came on the pair finally saw 'IT'. And both immediately felt their eyes begin to twitch in annoyance.

"This is 'IT'?!" Ben snapped, Gwen looking just as let down.

"It's just a giant ball of rubber bands." she complained.

"And who knows what secrets lie inside" the Mayor replied suspensefully "Stay as long as you like. Mind the signs" with that final warning, he left the two alone with 'It'.

Once he was gone, Ben threw his hands up in frustration "Look at this place. These guys are full of 'it'. We've been punked!" he yelled, before his eyes drifted to the Chaquetrix.

"This place is pretty lame. I can't believe grandpa was excited to- Ben what are you doing? Wait no!" Gwen began before noticed Ben activating the watch.

In a flash of purple Armizon now stood between them and 'It', Gwen slumping in defeat. As the 'hero' looked around she soon realised this wasn't a fight and allowed herself to relax. Smiling down at Ben she knelt beside him.

"Hey short king" she greeted, earning a grimace from Gwen "Stingwing mentioned you were going to see 'IT'. Have you found out what 'IT' is yet?" she asked.

"Right there" Ben replied, pointing at the ball.

"Behind this thing?" Armizon asked, walking around to find nothing.

"Nope. THIS is 'IT'" he explained, watching as her four eyes blinked in surprise before narrowing in annoyance.

"That's 'IT'?!" she screamed "We had a bet over what 'IT' was, nobody guessed 'IT' was stupid ball!" she ranted.

"What were you even betting?" Gwen asked, curious despite herself.

Armizon's eyes flickered briefly to Ben before pointedly looking away from them both "Not important" she said, ignoring Gwen's flat stare.

"So what do you need me to do, punt this thing into orbit?" she asked, Ben looked briefly interested before shaking his head.

"Nah, but if they're going to mess with us it's only fair we get even. One good prank deserves another, right?" he said, grinning mischievously.

"Oh?" she grinned back, moving to pick up 'IT' "Hmm, what to do? Maybe the world's biggest space hopper? I think I'd get some good 'bounces' out of it"

"Yeah you would" Ben agreed, thinking about how strong her legs were and missing her crossing her lower arms under her chest.

Facepalming, Gwen groaned at her cousin before realising Armizon had begun juggling the ball. "Careful, you're going to drop it"

"Please, she could handle this with three hands behind her back" Ben said dismissively.

As Armizon attempted to prove him right, the sudden weight on only one hand knocked her off balance. As her grip failed, 'IT' dropped to the floor, bouncing wildly around the room and forcing her to move protectively in front of the two humans.

The trio watched in muted horror as 'IT' crashed through the doors and continued to bounce into town. Racing after 'IT', they winced as the runaway exhibit crashed into several building before coming to a stop at the giant house of cards, knocking them to the floor.

As they approached, Gwen let out a scream of frustration before slapping Ben and Armizon across the arm/back.

"Ow! What was that for?" Ben grumbled, rubbing his arm as Gwen glared at him.

"For making us criminals! We're so dead" she panicked.

Armizon, realising how serious this could be for Ben, also panicked "It was an accident! I didn't mean to-"

"Hey, it's ok" Ben said, grabbing ahold of one of her hands to try to get her attention, unable to see her blush on her skin "We'll just put everything back before anyone notices. No problem." he continued, moving to tap 'IT'.

His plan immediately fell apart as the Chaquetrix timed out, blinding them with a red flash and also distracting them from the purple sparks leaping from the Chaquetrix and into 'IT'.

"Ok maybe a slight problem" he nervously admitted, before grabbing Gwen and fleeing the scene.

When the two regrouped with grandpa Max at the 'Sideways Motel' (how would the bathrooms even work? Ben wondered) the two managed to act innocent enough to avoid raising his suspicions as they turned in for the night.

Meanwhile back with 'IT', a bolt of purple lightning managed to leap free of the ball before circling the nearby power lines. If anyone was nearby they would have heard cackling laughter as a bolt tore through the Sparksville sign.

The next morning as Ben and Gwen, somehow slept comfortably in their vertical beds, they were awoken by Max yelling from outside.

"Benjamin, Gwendolyn get out here!" the two kids falling onto the floor as they scrambled out of the blankets

"Full names? Oh we're dead" Gwen whimpered.

"Remember. Never admit to anything" Ben whispered back as the two hesitantly made their way out.

As they stepped into the street their worry turned to confusion at the sight before them. The damage from their accident was still there, but there was far more destruction spread out through the town.

"It looks like a tornado tore through here last night" Max commented, as Ben and Gwen let out sighs of relief.

As they silently celebrated getting away with it, the Mayor approached the trio "I think it's pretty clear who's responsible for these juvenile acts" he drawled.

"Juvenile? If I didn't know better…" Max replied, casting a suspicious look back at his nervous grandkids.

"Oh I'm not talking about these youngsters" the Mayor said dismissively.

"You're not?" the three asked at once, Max's suspicions increasing as Ben and Gwen grinned nervously back.

As if it had been waiting for its cue, a small creature appeared and flashed around the four of them in a crackle of purple lightning. They managed to catch brief glimpses of it as it paused briefly to yank the back of Gwen's shirt over her head, before it zipped behind Max to drum on his head.

As the pair fixed their shirt/hair, the mystery creature finally stopped, hovering next to Ben and giving them a full look at it. It was a black and purple humanoid battery, with thick thighs and a proportionally ;arge chest, its figure could be summed up as 'shortstack'. As Gwen and Max stared in confusion/dread, the creature smiled flirtatiously at Ben before planting a kiss on his cheek and flying away from the flustered boy.

"What…what was that?" Ben spluttered, wiping his face.

"Megawhatt" The Mayor replied,a slightly raised eyebrow the only sign of his surprise at the creature's appearance.

"Mega what?"

"Exactly, though it looks to have a makeover. Normally wrapped up tight inside of 'IT', at least until last night" he explained, giving Ben and Gwen a meaningful look.

"Some say might be a ball of lightning come alive. Others think it's static cling run amok. Tough to say" he continued.

"It might be an alien" Gwen suggested, the creature's attitude and colour scheme making her and Max glance at the Chaquetrix.

"Alien? That's plain kooky talk" the Mayor dismissed, much to the trio's disbelief.

As they had been talking, Megawatt had made her(?) way to a nearby vending machine before turning into pure electricity and phasing inside.

As the machine began to shake rather violently, the group (minus the Mayor) took a step back.

"What's it doing?" Ben asked, flinching as the machine sparked.

"It eats electricity. The more it gobbles, the stronger it gets" the Mayor explained.

The machine then started to fire out soda cans at deadly speed, forcing the Tennysons to try to dodge the attack while the Mayor stood eerily calm.

"It's also got a dangerous sense of humour" he added as the barrage intensified, forcing them to take cover behind an overturned car.

"You had that thing wrapped up in a rubber-band ball? Isn't that kind of dangerous?" Max asked in disbelief.

"Not so long as people minded the signs" the Mayor retorted, once more giving Ben and Gwen a meaningful stare.

As Gwen gulped, she looked to Ben…who held his hands up in surrender "Ok, we did it. We're guilty" he admitted.

Gwen gaped at him "What happened to never admit to anything?"

As the barrage came to an end Max cautiously peeked out of cover, however Megawhatt appeared to be long gone.

"How do we stop this thing Mr Mayor?"

"Whatchu mean we? You let it out, you catch it" he replied, casually sitting on a bench while the Tennysons stared back nonplussed.

Having to carry on without the locals' help the trio made their way through the town, following the trail of destruction. As they passed under some power lines, they didn't notice the purple crackle of electricity dance along the wires.

Max, hearing a 'pop' looked up but was too slow to react as Megawhatt managed to swoop down and lift him off the ground with a wedgie.

"Gah! That's not funny, it's just painful" he ground out, wincing as the electric alien giggled.

"Don't worry grandpa" Ben said, activating the Chaquetrix "I know just the hero for the job"

The purple flash caught Megawhatt's attention, causing her to let go of Max as she focused on the new arrival. Standing protectively beside Ben was Ultra-T, her 'eye' narrowed at the floating trickster.

"Why did you pick her?" Gwen asked.

"It's a complicated plan, you wouldn't get it" Ben replied. Gwen smirked back at him.

"Watch didn't give you who you wanted, did it?"

Very aware of Ultra-T's presence next to him Ben whispered back "Shut up"

Megawhatt initially continued to cackle, until she noticed how close Ultra-T was to Ben. Cheeks puffing up in anger, she zapped over to the world's largest ketchup bottle atop the hotdog diner, the sudden flood of energy boiling the liquid inside and launching the bottle top off, decapitating a giant chicken statue. As the tourists/locals nearby panicked, Ben attempted to make a plan with the 'hero' to stop the mayhem.

Before he could, Megawhatt appeared leaning over his shoulder, winking at him much to his confusion.

"Remove your hands from him at once" Ultra-T demanded, circuits flaring in jealousy

Ultra-T extended an arm to grab her and managing to reel her in. Her success was short-lived as Megawhatt discharged a burst of electricity, sending the metallic 'hero' back.

"It would appear…my living metal form is ill equipped for this encounter" form shifting, as she returned to her feet.

Taking aim at the airborne menace, Ultra-T fired a blast forcing Megawhatt to dodge, glaring at the 'hero' in return. The two then engaged in a frantic chase, with Megawhatt occasionally stopping to flit around a still confused Ben while Ultra-T would shift to cover him protectively.

"Is it just me, or is there lots of excitement today?" The Mayor wondered aloud, nonchalantly eating popcorn and a nearby bench while observing the fight "Also, it appears that young man is quite popular with the ladies" he added, tone still flat as ever.

"That's your only reaction to this?" Gwen asked, surprised at his understated reaction to the display.

"It is indeed an unusual sight, someone should probably do something" he agreed, making no move to act on his suggestion.

Gwen stared back in stunned silence for a moment before moving to check on Max "This town might be crazier than the watch" she grumbled.

As Max watched the two alien's battle he wracked his brain for ideas "How can we ground that electric devil?" causing Gwen to look up as an idea formed.

"That's it! Grandpa you're a genius" Gwen said, motioning for Max to follow her.

Meanwhile back with Ben, the young hero had to admit he was rather lost at the moment. Megawhatt was faster than Ultra-T but didn't seem too interested in actually fighting her directly. Instead she seemed happy to simply buzz around, wrecking displays and occasionally hanging onto Ben…like right now.

As Megawhatt appeared in front of him, arms wrapped around his shoulders, Ben was forced to hold it in place to avoid being pulled forward by the unexpected weight. As her face lit up in an odd smile, Ben could see Ultra-T shaking with barely contained frustration over her shoulder.

"Who does she think she is, pawing over him like that?" The 'hero' fumed, circuits flashing rapidly.

Following Ben's gaze, Megawhatt smirked before flying up, sticking her tongue out mockingly. This proved to be just the opening Ultra-T needed, firing once more and managing to strike the electric pest dead centre, splitting her in half.

As Ben (and even Ultra-T) flinched at the seemingly fatal blow, the concern quickly turned to dread as the two halves regenerated into a pair of new Megawhatts, who after a moment of surprise began laughing gleefully.

"This was an undesirable outcome" Ultra-T admitted as the sound of the Chaquetrix preparing to time out filled the air.

As Ultra-T vanished, the electric pranksters turned their attention to Ben, seeing their mischievous smirks Ben gulped and backed up. Before they could act, a horn caught everyone's attention as Max drove a truck carrying the world's largest giant thermometer into the street.

Slowing down enough to let Ben hop in, Max continued down the street as the Megawhatts gave chase.

"What's the plan?" Ben asked, looking back as the pursuing aliens.

"Giving these sparklers a science lesson they won't forget" Max said, nodding at Gwen who pulled back on a lever.

As she did the deck began to lift, letting the thermometer slide off and embed itself into the road. Moving too fast to react to the new obstacle, the Megawhatts slammed into it, their forms being absorbed into it and dispersed into the ground.

With the threat seemingly taken care of the Tennysons pulled up as Ben turned to a smug looking Gwen,

"What just happened?"

"We just used the world's largest thermometer as a lightning rod. Who needs alien 'heroes' when you have good old fashioned brain-power" she bragged, Ben rolling his eyes in annoyance.

" 'Course the ground is just one big conductor." the Mayor commented, moving to join them.

"And what does THAT mean?" Ben asked, noting how Gwen seemed to freeze up.

"It means the Megawhatts are just zipping around underground until they find their way back up" she realised as all the payphones began to ring at once.

"They're in the underground phone lines!" Max cried out as dozens of new Megawhatts burst free from the phones.

The army of Megawhatts wasted no time in continuing their spree, bursting tires on cars, overloading transformers on the powerlines and breaking open fire hydrants.

As a small group of townsfolk gathered around, Gwen wished she could turn invisible.

Noticing Ben's smug grin she glowered back .

"Don't say a word" she threatened, much to his amusement.

"Hey I'm just glad 'I' wasn't the one who screwed up this time" he replied cheekily as a store front exploded in the background.

The Megawhatts all regrouped atop the giant hotdog diner, preparing to continue their 'fun' when one spotted Ben. Eagerly pointing him out, they all let out a loud 'squee', causing everyone (bar the Mayor) to cover their ears as the glass container for the world's largest toothpicks to shatter.

Seeing the giant spikes falling towards them, Max urged the crowd away with everyone except the Mayor heading his warning. As the spikes fell around him, all miraculously missing the Mayor, he simply continued to eat his popcorn.

"There goes the world's largest toothpicks. Oh the humanity" he mourned, still monotonously.

"I can't decide if he's cool or just weird" Ben commented, impressed at the Mayor's lack of fear.

"Ben watch out!" Gwen yelled, as Ben suddenly found himself surrounded by a storm of purple electricity.

With a short scream, Ben was dragged off into the town as his family could only watch helplessly.

"Where did they go?" Gwen frantically asked, trying to spot any sign of where they had flown off to.

A loud crash from the planetarium caught their attention, the sounds getting louder and louder before the front of the building was smashed open.

Lumbering through the dust was the…the planetarium exhibit? The display now shifted into a humanoid form, with Ben being held against the 'body' by a series of wires.

"Well there's something you don't see everyday" one townswoman said, as if she was commenting on the weather.

"Is everyone in this town insane?" Gwen wondered, while Max began heading to the Rust Bucket.

"Come on we'll follow in the…" he trailed off as he saw the vandalised wreck that was his beloved R.V.

As the construct lumbered away with his grandson as its prisoner, Max slumped in defeat. "Carl and Sandra are going to kill me"

"I reckon they'll be heading for the big hydroelectric dam to power up. After that, they'll just wipe out the next town and so on" The Mayor said, scratching his chin in thought "Not sure why they're so focused on your boy though." he admitted.

Now certain that the watch was somehow responsible for the Megawhatt's unusual behaviour, Gwen racked her brain for a plan to save Ben before anything could happen to him. Spotting the giant fish bowl, she gave Max a confident grin as she put together a new plan.

A short distance away, at the dam, Ben struggled against the wires holding him and managed to free his arms. As the construct prepared to breach the dam, a few Megawhatts would occasionally pop out of the body to hang off him, tousling his hair or just giggle bashfully.

"Maybe the Mayor was right." Ben thought, as he put up with their pestering "They really are some clingy static"

As he leant away from another of the electric pests, the Chaquetrix pinged as it recharged. Smirking Ben activated the dial and slammed it back down, the purple flash halting the Megawhatt's assault on the dam. As the light faded the rogue exhibit 'looked' down at a fiery figure of Heart's Fire.

"Alright you sparking tramps" she roared, unleashing a stream of fire at the construct's 'head' "Get your hands off my partner!"

As it staggered back Heart's Fire leapt up onto its body, sparring a second to smile at Ben, she tore apart the wires binding him before scooping him up and kicking back off the sparking frame.

"You alright Ben? No injuries? Maybe I should check…" Heart's fire rambled, earning a laugh from Ben.

"Don't worry, it'll take more than a bunch of overgrown batteries to take me down" he bragged, slinging an arm over her shoulder in a pseudo half hug to reassure her.

As the flames on her head flared up in delight the Megawhatts managed to steady themselves and, upon seeing Heart's Fire basking in Ben's attention, began to spark jealousy.

As they prepared to charge a familiar truck horn sounded out from below. As the three turned they spotted a familiar flatbed truck, with a large object covered by a tarp on the back, pull up with Gwen leaning out the passenger window.

Seeing her wave them over Ben nodded as Heart's Fire took a running leap, making sure to stick out her (flaming) tongue at the construct as she held Ben tight before dropping over the edge.

Seeing their (boy)'toy' being snatched away, the Megawhatts abandoned their plans for the dam and charged after them. As Ben and Heart's Fire landed safely, riding down on a 'board' of fire ("Wait you can do that?" Ben asked in awe), the construct…didn't. Its frame coming apart as it hit the ground hard.

As the Megawhatts exited the wreck exhibit, they spotted Ben and Heart's Fire duck under the tarp, Heart's Fire giving a wink as she did so. The taunt worked like a charm, as they all recklessly charged unto the tarp after them, unaware that the four heroes were now on the other side.

"Great work, they took the bait!" Max cheered, pulling the tarp away and revealing the Megawhatts bunched up inside the world's largest fish bowl.

"Heart's Fire, seal it up!" Gwen called out, as Ben grinned in anticipation.

With an intense burst of flame the top of the bowl melted shut, sealing the Megawhatts inside as they raged and futility attempted to escape.

As Heart's Fire timed out after giving Ben one last hug (making sure they could see her smug look) The Tennysons allowed themselves to relax.

"Thanks Grandpa, Gwen." Be said "You wouldn't believe how clingy those things were. I wonder why they decided to pick on me"

Max and Gwen glared at the Chaquetrix before Max gave him a comforting pat on the back "I guess we'll never know"

The next day, Sparksville was a hub of activity as workers set about fixing up the town. The trio approached the Mayor, who was standing by a large object hidden by a tarp.

"You folks done right by us" he said, earning an uncertain look from the family.

"Are you sure? I think Sparksville came off pretty badly in the scuffle" Max replied concernedly.

"I like to believe this has been a huge step forward actually" The Mayor replied, removing the tarp "With our new attraction, the world's biggest light bulb, we'll be raking them in. So long a people mind the signs" he finished warningly.

As the Tennysons looked on at the reshaped glass bowl the Megawhatts, still buzzing inside, took notice of Ben and attempted to swarm towards him to no effect.

"They really took a shine to you" he noted, as blandly as ever "I never would have guessed they had such proclivities"

"Procliva-whats? What's he on about grandpa?" Ben asked, as Max gave the Mayor a flat look.

The Mayor gave another look at the Megawhatts inside the bulb "Maybe we should consider frosting the glass. These gals might be a bit risque for our family friendly town" he mused.

"Ok we're done here" Max announced loudly, cutting off Ben's next question before ushering him and an embarrassed Gwen away.

"Nice folks, though a mite on the strange side" The Mayor commented, as the Rust Bucket pulled away.

-Non Canon Omake-

When the Mayor had realised that Megawhatt had escaped 'IT' he had honestly expected the worst. What he did not expect was for the (now female) Megawhatt to be clinging to the young out-of-towner from yesterday, while the boy's grandfather and cousin pried it off.

"Seriously, why are you catnip for shameless alien women?" Gwen snapped, as Megawhatt managed to wriggle free and reattach herself to Ben.

"What do you mean shamless alien women?" Ben asked, leaning away as it went for a kiss.

"That's it, grandpa get the hose"

"Won't that fry Ben too?" Max pointed out.

"A necessary sacrifice for our sanity" Gwen deadpanned, as the Mayor wisely decided to walk away.
