The Rust Bucket has stopped on a desert road, at an ice cream parlor. The trio is getting ice cream, while Max is using the local ATM. A dirty red pickup truck pulls up to the same spot, and a big burly man walks up to Max.
Burly Man: Outta the way, "Grandpa". I got a major withdrawal to make!
He shoves Max to the ground. Max looks up and sees a buck-toothed man in front of him smiling; who seems to be the other man's associate. In the parlor, the kids are choosing their ice cream. A frowning old man is serving them.
Gwen: What do you have that's non-fat with less than 3% sugar?
Parlor Worker: Napkins! What about you boys?
Dax: I'll have–
Dax was interrupted by the sound of a large chain. He and Ben look out the window and see the burly man walking to the ATM with a chained metal hook.
Ben: I'm about to go "rocky road"!
Ben runs outside while fiddling with his Omnitrix, With Dax close behind.
Dax: I want peanut butter.
Outside, the burly man digs the hook into the ATM and yells to his associate in the pickup truck to drive. However, the wheel melts out of his hands, and the entire dashboard forms into Ben's black technorganic alien, Upgrade.
Upgrade: Your cash request has been denied!
Upgrade merges with the entire pickup and kicks the man out the door. He forms back into himself. The large man tries to go for his hook but is completely frozen by Chillizard.
Chillizard: You can stay there and chill.
Gwen then comes out of the ice cream shop as Max is congratulating the two.
Max: Nice job, boys.
Gwen then stops right next to Max.
Gwen: Will, you two did a decent job dealing with this.
Chillizard: Oh, it seems like the dweeb is congratulating us, right Ben?
Upgrade: Yeah, what happened? Did your brain freeze, Being In that ice cream shop?
Gwen: *Groans* Why do I even try?
Max: Anyway, Besides, we have to get moving.
Chillizard: Huh? Where are we going, Gramps?
Max: Glad you asked. We are heading towards Ben and Gwen's Aunt Vera for the weekend!
Upgrade: Ugh, boring old Aunt Vera?! Nooooo!
