Two Halfs, One Heart

Chapter 47- Ben 10 VS. Negative 10 PT. 1

Ben and I were following some thieves in a helicopter. "Oh, I wouldn't say that. The name's Stinkfly, and this joyride's over," Ben said. "Land this thing now!" I shouted, conjuring up some fire. "Want to play rough, huh? Now you see us, now you don't." He shot some goop at the helicopter. "This is almost getting too easy. Isn't there a villain left out there who can give us a challenge, princess?" "I don't know, Benji. I do know this... we'll face any challenge together!" I said.

Now, we were picking up a grandson of one of Max's Plumber friends. Ben and Gwen were fighting over the phone. They wanted to win tickets to a movie premiere. "Hi, guys. This is Cooper, the grandson of an old Plumber buddy of mine. And uh--" he was cut off by Ben and Gwen. "Doofus! Give me it. You're wasting time!" Ben and Gwen were fighting over the phone and I rolled my eyes at their behavior. "Guys, knock it off!" I yelled, annoyed. They gave me a look but didn't respond. "I heard it first. I get to call. Princess, tell her!" Ben said. I didn't respond. I refused to become involved in their petty argument.

"Okay, it's time to pick the winning caller to the premiere of Space Pirates 4: The Revenge of Blorg and meet the cast at a special V.I.P. party after the movie." The man on the radio announced. Gwen grabbed the phone and hurriedly dialed the number. Then Ben grabbed the phone and held it to his ear. "Hello. You're lucky caller number 10." "I won! Give me the phone!" Ben demanded. Gwen wouldn't loosen her grip on the phone. "You won? I won. Let me talk to him!" She said. "Hello? Is anybody--"  Ben accidentally hung up the phone, ending the call. "Well, I guess we'll see if the next caller wants those tickets," The DJ said.

"You owe me one ticket to the premiere of 'Space Pirates 4!'" Ben said, aggravated with Gwen. "Yeah, right! If I had a ticket, I certainly wouldn't give it to a mega loser like you. I'd give it to Paige. She's like a sister to me," Gwen said. "I have an extra ticket to the premiere." "What?" The three of us said, in disbelief. "My uncle worked on the movie. He got me two V.I.P. tickets. One of you can go with me, if you want," Cooper said. Gwen smiled and pushed Ben out of the way. "Where are my manners? Hi, Cooper. I'm Gwen. I'd love to go to the premiere with you." She said, with emphasis. I rolled my eyes, "These two aren't going to stop, are they?"

Ben pushed Gwen out of the way, "Back off, cootie queen! I got dibs on that extra ticket." I shook my head, "Unbelievable!" "Hi Cooper, I'm Paige. Nice to meet you." He shook my hand and smiled, "It's nice to meet you too." "This should be interesting." I heard Max say, referring to Ben and Gwen's argument. I was sitting in the passenger seat, while Max was driving. I knew he appreciated the company and I was happy that I didn't have to listen to Ben and Gwen argue. "And I've always been pretty good with computers and stuff like that," Cooper said.

"Then you'll love this. It's the new XT9000 with satellite uplink. Use it whenever you like." Gwen said to Cooper as she showed him her laptop. "No fair! That's bribery!" Ben said, shutting Gwen's laptop. "Oh? And what do you call this?" She said, as she grabbed a gift basket. "Gwen, we're not all as selfish as you are. Some of us enjoy sharing," Ben said. "I'm telling grandpa," Gwen said. I was rubbing my temples because their bickering was giving me a headache. "That what, you're a big doofus?" He said. "Ben, get up here," I said. "Ooh! Someone's in trouble with the wife!" Gwen said.
