Guardian of the Proxy (Ben Drowned story)

Chapter 19

*ELISE'S P.O.V*

If you ever ask me what was the first thing I saw when I arrived to the mansion the next day? Well, I saw Ben running away from a guy. Ben introduced him as the "worse-stupid-gottagofast-hedgehog-thing". He seemed nice to me. He was kinda creepy though. "Hey, shortie!" yelled the guy as he stole Ben's hat from his head and put it on himself. He was Sonic.exe, but Ben told me everyone called him Sonic for short. "What," Ben seemed a little frustrated at this point.

"You're too slow," he stuck out his tongue, "wanna try that again?"

"Give me my hat back, you asshat," Ben crossed his arms.

"No can do, Princess," started Sonic, "Is this Elise?"

Ben looked over at me and nodded his head slowly. I noticed he did it hesitantly. "Great!," Sonic ran over to me and wrapped his arm over my shoulder. "Do you have speed covered in your training? I could help but Ben won't let me,"

"I don't have it covered. Yes, I would love that idea," I responded firmly.

"Fantastic. Here, you can have this back, shortie," said Sonic as he tossed the hat over to Ben. Ben grabbed it rapidly and put it over his head. Sonic left the kitchen. "He seems nice," I commented. "PFFT. Nice? Him? You gotta be kidding me. I hate him so much," mumbled Ben.

"Oh, come on, he isn't that ba--"

Ben cut me off placing his finger over my mouth. "I just noticed something." he said. I blushed slightly. "What?"

He took off my glasses and stared at my face. I felt how I blushed even more know. "U-um..."

"You have freckles." he stated. I grabbed my glasses from his hand and put them on again, still blushing but now less than before. "Yeah. So?"

"Your freckles make you look adorable. Not that I said you were adorable but your freckles make you look adorable. Wait, what? Don't listen to me. What I meant was....that your freckles are cute. Nothing else. I mean, you're also cute but your freckles-- Ugh. I-- Um--" he started to blush uncontrollably. I tilted my head to a side.

"Let's just go train, Freckles," he sighed.

"Yeah, uh, don't call me that--"

"Sure thing, Freckles," a smirk played on Ben's lips.

I was exhausted. Ben has never trained me this hard before. I was in the kitchen with Jeff, just drinking a glass of water. "I'm sorry about before," said Jeff.

What?

"Pardon me?"

Jeff sighed and continued, "I'm sorry for being a dick."

I gave him a warm smile before placing the empty glass down on the counter. "It's alright. I know how you felt,"

"Good, thanks, I guess," he said before standing up from the chair and leaving the kitchen.

Well, that was short.

On Jeff's way out, Ben got in the kitchen.

"Yo, Freckles," called Ben. I glanced at him and raised an eyebrow. "Don't call me that,"

He let out a soft chuckle as his elf ears twitched. "Do you have your phone on you?"

"Maybe," I stated, checking the back of my pocket. There it was. "Why?"

"Give it to me for a moment." he demanded. I grabbed my phone and handed it to him. He did some things and handed it back to me. "Just in case, you have my contact now,"

I looked over at my phone, the contact named BEN was there. "Thanks?"

"Just text me and I'll reply quick,"

I nodded my head. "Sure."

....

Ben, EJ, Sally, Jeff and I were sitting on the couch in the living room, watching TV, until I said I had to go, but a voice coming from the kitchen was heard. "You're leaving so soon?" I stood up from the couch, turning around and seeing Sonic. "I have to,"

All of a sudden, he was next to me, with his arms wrapped around my shoulder. "We should go out. Wanna go eat somewhere? Watch a movie or something? Oh, we'll watch your favorite movie. And I heard you like classical music. We could listen to that," he insisted.

I blushed slightly. "Uh....as a date?"

He nodded his head and a smirk played on his lips as he kissed my cheek.

Oh, no.

"Leave her alone." I heard Ben yell.

Sonic and I looked over at Ben, who seemed extremely angry, but he was blushing, and I think it was from his anger. "Aw, look, Shortie is jealous! Aren't you?" mocked Sonic. Ben stood up from the couch and walked towards us. "I'm not,"

"Are you sure?" Sonic then looked at me, "So, whataya say?"

I don't want to go out with him. I don't like him. But what if he wants to go as friends?

"I could listen to some classical music," I stated.

Ben dropped his jaw open. "Are you kidding me?"

"You're referring as friends, right?" I asked Sonic, pushing his arm away from me. He only gave me a smirk and didn't respond. I narrowed my eyes at him. "Fine. Whatever," he scoffed. Ben muttered something under his breath and crossed his arms. "What's wrong with you?" I asked Ben. Ben looked over at me and said, "I hate him."

Sonic looked at Ben. "I love you too, Shortie,"

Ben scoffed before teleporting away. A few seconds later, I heard a scream from him. "WHERE'S MY MOUNTAIN DEW?"

I looked over at Sonic as he also teleported. I assumed they were going to the kitchen so that's where I went. "Where's my Mountain Dew?" Ben asked Sonic. "What Mountain Dew? There's no Mountain Dew. We don't drink Mountain Dew in this house we drink Diet Coke," Sonic answered. "Says who?" Ben narrowed his eyes.

"Slendy," replied Sonic.

Ben inhaled deeply and grabbed a can of Diet Coke before throwing it to the floor as it exploded. "Throwing Diet Coke cans to the floor won't help you gain Mountain Dew. Just sayin',"

"I fucking hate you," Ben murmured under his breath as he disappeared in a cloak of pixels in the air. Should that even exist?

Something tells me this is going to be a mess.
