The Rust Bucket parked up in a big open area in the woods, perfect for camping. Max and Y/N grabbed some fire wood from the forest and set up the fire pit.

Hope: Why couldn't we use the RV to cook food again?

Max: There's nothing wrong with doing some outdoor cooking and I need the space to cook up my famous octopus rolls and bulls tongue.

Both magicians and Gwen had a look of disgust on their faces but Max kept on building the fire pit and putting a few pieces of paper for fuel to get the fire started.

Max: Now, we need to start the fire.

Gwen: I have been looking at some fire starting tips, so I will get it started.

After a few minutes Gwen actually got the fire going but Ben put the fire out with a water gun.

Ben: Oops... hehehe.

Max: Ben, we needed that fire for our dinner.

Ben: No problemo, I'll go Heatblast and-

Max suddenly stopped Ben from slamming down on the Omnitrix dial.

Max: No, I want a fire made by Ben.

Ben: What!?

Max: You heard me. We'll eat when you're done.

Gwen: And don't think about going alien.

Ben: *mutters* Whatever, dweeb.

Y/N: I should stay here and help.

Max: Ben put out the fire and he can make a new one.

Hope: And while he's doing that, we can hang out some more.

Y/N: Alright.

With that Gwen, Max, Y/N and Hope went back inside the RV leaving Ben outside to re light the fire.

Ben: *mutters* Can't believe I have to make a stupid fire. Why couldn't we get take out or something.

After putting the wood back up, Ben picked up two rocks and started smacking them together to hopefully make a spark but his thumb goes a little too close for comfort and he crushes his own thumb in between the rocks.

Ben: Ow! Forget this.

He throws the rocks down but the rocks ricochet off the stones that surrounded the fire pit making them bounce and hit Ben in both of his shins.

Ben: Owww!!! This is going to take forever!... Unless....


Inside the RV Gwen and Max were sitting one side in the booth and the two magicians were relaxing into each other waiting for Ben to start the fire.

Hope: How long until he uses the Omnitrix to start the fire?

Max: He better not, this is a great opportunity to learn a practical skill.

Gwen: Ben? Learning? Are you sure we are talking about the same person?

Y/N: I recon less then a minute. Around 30 seconds.

Gwen: I recon 10.


Back outside, Ben resisted to use the Omnitrix but he tried everything from rubbing two sticks together and striking the rocks together but nothing worked for them.

Ben: That's it. Whatever Grandpa doesn't know won't hurt him.

Slamming down on the dial turning into Heatblast. He threw a fire ball and that instantly created a fire.
