Two Halfs, One Heart

Chapter 45- Ready to Rumble

We were riding down the hill on blocks of ice. "Whoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah! Whoo-hoo! Whoa-oa! Whoo-hoo! Yeah! Whoo! That was so cool! Let's try the bigger hill this time," Ben said. "I think sitting on that ice gave you brain freeze. It's going to take you forever to carry that block up there," Gwen said.

"Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?" Then he activated the Omnitrix and was XLR8. "Presenting XLR8 on ice! One side! Coming through! Thanks. Uh-oh. Whoa! Ugh!"

Gwen and I entered the Rust Bucket and I saw that Ben was on my laptop. This made me mad because he didn't ask me if he could use it. I don't mind if he uses it but ask me first! "Uh, hello. What do you think you're doing, Benji?" I asked, very annoyed. "Hmm, is this some kind of trick question? I'm going to go online and check out the new Sumo Slammer blog, princess."

~💚~

"Not without asking me first. Ben, you know how I hate when people use or take my things without asking! That's my brand- new HP Pavilion." "Okay. May I please use your computer, princess?" He asked. "No way!" Gwen said. "Excuse me, but I was asking Paige. Not you." "No Ben, you can't. Not until you gain my trust back. I can't believe that you would do this!" I said, running out of the Rust Bucket.

~💚~

"Hey! Ben, Paige's whole life is on that hard drive!" I heard her say. "I am so lucky to have a friend like Gwen." I thought as I dried my tears. I came back into the R.V. to see Gwen and Max by the bathroom door. "Ben, you need to be a little more responsible. Look what happened in the park," he said.

~💚~

"Hey, I"ve got an idea. Let's all go out and do something as a family. You can even pick this time, princess -- anything you want." "Anything?" I asked with a smile. "That was amazing. I love listening to modern poetry, don't you, Benji?" "I love you, princess, but no. Two words -- bor- ing! Well, it's getting late. We'd better get back and get to bed."

~💚~

"Really? They have a great old sawmill here. I was hoping we could check it out.," Max said. "No, got to go." Ben urged us. I was half asleep when I feft a feather like kiss to my cheek and "Good night, my princess. Sweet dreams," whispered in my ear. I thought I was dreaming so I went back to sleep.

~💚~

I woke up the next morning and Ben wasn't holding me. "Where could that boy possibly be?" I thought."Morning, Ben. You're up early." "Not exactly. I have a confession to make. I broke Paige's laptop when I was playing with it, even though you said not to, so I had to figure out a way how to get money to replace it, so I wrestled a bunch of bad guys, but the bad guys didn't turn out to be bad guys, so I gave them the prize money, so I can't replace your laptop, and I'm so sorry, princess. I love you so much, please forgive me," Ben rambled on.

~💚~

"So, you think you broke Paige's computer?" Gwen said. "Yeah. But I'm really sorry, and I'll make it up to you somehow. I know, I can do all your chores." "For the rest of the summer?" I asked. "Yeah," he replied. "Word of honor  -- no takebacks." "Hey, what's that new doohickey, Paige?" Max asked. "Oh, this? It's a fingerprint scanner. That way only I can start my computer. Gwen bought it for me," I said. "You mean... I didn't break it?" Ben asked. "Nope, but it's nice to know that you are so responsible. You better scrub that pan twice. Grandpa's snail stew gets majorly crusty overnight," she said. "Ugh! Aw, man," Ben said. Gwen and I high-fived, impressed with ourselves.

Hello everyone. Here is a picture of my laptop from this chapter.
