Once upon a Ben

Handshake

5 days later after Ben explained things to Rook that the Omnitrix malfunctioning may have something to do with the town they thought of a plan to consume their suspension or rather than would be the case if they weren't sitting around doing squat.

Ben and Rook are seen sitting while pondering their apartment in the dinner of residents. "I know you said we should make friends, but that is easier said than done," Rook said with an empathic tone "Ah, you worry too much, listen when we don't know what to do the universe usually helps us out, happens all the time". Ben stated with the most assuredness. "Okay but wouldn't it be easier to go investigating and speaking to the authority" Ben sighed while looking away slightly "I already tried that dude, no dice, everybody thinks I'm crazy whenever I bring up that wolf story, not to mention nobody trusts us since we're, you know strangers" "any word from plumber HQ?" Ben asked curiously, now its Rook's turn to outwardly sigh "sadly no, my transmission locked on to there signal but it can't get an immediate response coordinate or even communicate for that matter" "which means? Ben states perplexed "which means that we know that the Plummer HQ exists, but it's impossible to locate them due to some type of interference here" "Well we know they should be in bell wood so just track that and well find them," ben said simply "already attempted that" "What? but that's impossible what signal are we getting from the scanner?" Ben said rather worrisome to which Rook shook his head implying he doesn't know the answer to that either. "What-" just as Ben was about to speak he was interrupted by knocking on the door. "Knock, knock, knock" "Alright, alright coming" was said when the knock rang again. Ben unlocked and opened the door. They saw two familiar faces and one unfamiliar one. The black haired pale looking girl by the school and the blond from the dinner followed by a strange man they've never seen before, but the others seemed to know him well, he had spike blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, he had a significant build like a body builder or an athlete. "come right on in" Ben said inviting them over. As they came inside the noticed how odd the house was, it was messy but neat at the same time, as if an disorganized and organized person had a battle. "We just wanted to invite you in there neighborhood since your gonna be staying for a while" the blonde woman said. " I'm not sure if I introduced myself properly bit my name is Emma and these two are my friends. As she said this the woman two her right smiled "Hello, sorry about earlier I just get protective of my students, in no problem" he said as he took a seat inviting them to do the same on the couch, it was brown, a centerpiece positioned in the middle of the room. " you did introduce your self" Ben said "but who are these people, I mean what are your names he said with a grin. " well" the teacher began, hesitantly" my name is marry Margaret, and I work as a teacher in this town" she said as she shook both their hands. "My name is David" the blond man stated as he firmly gripped their hands for another handshake. "Sheesh, dude, strong grip you got there" A moment of silence takes place without any discussion, so Ben decides to interrupt said Silence "
So anybody wants some complementary chilly fries?" the three sitting down just started blankly at each other. "Alright, Rook"  was his only reply "Nope" "Aw come man there's our guest, you gotta, and you owe me one anyway" As he said this Rook began to go to the kitchen with an annoyed expression. "Thanks, man I owe you one!" Ben called from their living room. "Well we also want to talk to you guys," Emma said getting Bens and Rooks's attention from the kitchen. "Alright shoot," Ben said. She hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to say it "So, word around the street, you saw a creature just outside of town" This got everyone's attention in the room including the people that are somewhat skeptical of this rumor. "You me-" Just as Ben was about to finish talking, another knock came from the door. "I got it! Ben said excitedly" getting everyone's attention Rook inwardly signed at his best friend's antics. As Ben opened the door he was greeted by two more familiar faces "Oh it's you guys from the dinner" he was met by Henry, a curious little boy, and a black hair woman who just happens to be the boy's mother "I heard there was a party here taking place without me, hi my names Regina" the lady dressed in black smirked.
