When Ben Met Lily

Part 3

Ben's P.O.V

I've got to admit, meeting my favorite member of LLP is awesome but I feel bad that she has to deal with the madness from fans. I know you're probably thinking, "What? Ben 10 thinks that he doesn't have to deal with what Lily Styles deals with," and I actually do. I had my hand chopped off and my body sent to the Null Void without the Omnitrix, I almost lost my grandpa, I almost became a slave to a Vladat, and I was hypnotized by Nyancy Chan while she kept calling Rath "Mr. Fluffykins." I have to deal with that but with my enemies, not fans. I was shocked when she told me what almost happened to her brother and that I'm the only person now that knows it. I promised her I would not tell anyone what happen, not even to my cousin Gwen (I know she goes by Gwendolyn but I'm still used of calling her Gwen) or my best friend Kevin. I think Lily or her bandmates will tell them when they meet them but it's up to them, not me.

While we were looking for a shop that sells disguises in Undertown, I can tell Lily kept looking around. I can't blame her, that's how I was when I found out about Undertown. She's having the same reactions I had and it's pretty cool. I also was looking around but to make sure that there were no crimes going on so I can keep Lily safe.

"Ben, why don't we check this shop? It looks like they are selling costumes, maybe we can find a disguises in there?"

I looked at the store and it had to belong to Pakmar. I didn't want to tell her that I have a history with him so I said "Sure." We went into the store and I tried to make sure Pakmar doesn't see me and kick us out. I saw that most of his disguises were for aliens but he did have a collection for humans. Some were some celebrities, some were goofy costumes, and he did had some clown costumes and they looked scary to me. Lily saw one that made her look like a emo but she said that's more for Henry. We both started laughing when she said that.

"What about this one? This makes me look like Patton from Thomas Sanders."

"Why don't you try it on while I look for a disguise?"

"What about instead of buying a disguise,  you turn into an alien while we get smoothies ?"

"Almost everyone has seen all of my alien forms so they will recognize me. I think it's better if I just get a disguise myself." Before Lily went to try on the costume...

"Ah, paying customers. What can Pakmar do for you today?"

I turned around so Pakmar wouldn't see me so I asked Lily if she can talk to him.

"I was just wondering where I can try this on? Also, my friend is getting a costume too."

"Well, fitting rooms are over there and... BEN TENNYSON! NO! Pakmar does not want Ben Tennyson destroying his shop again!"

"Destroy his shop again?"

I had to explain what happened between me and Pakmar and Lily didn't get mad. She actually starting laughing.

"And I thought Sora almost destroying the stage in Australia was bad. Wow Ben. Well, Pakmar was it? Ben and I are just here buying costumes so we can disguise ourselves from fans."

"Pakmar doesn't care! Pakmar will not sell anything to Ben Tennyson or to... LILY STYLES! THE LILY STYLES FROM LLP?!"

"Pakmar, you're a fan of LLP?" I guess some of LLP's music got into Undertown.

"Are you kidding, who isn't? Pakmar loves LLP! Pakmar's wife Marpak plays music from LLP all the time. Almost all shops in Undertown plays LLP! Pakmar's favorite song from LLP is when they sing about an Invisible Man. Even though Ben Tennyson is with her, Pakmar will help Lily Styles find a disguise for you."

I never expected Pakmar to be so nice to me since he hates me but I think this is going to be the only time he'll be nice so might as well spend it while it lasts. The costume Lily chose fit her perfectly so I went to find a disguise for me.

"What about this costume Ben? It's a cute clown costu-"

"AAHH!" I just screamed in front of Lily Styles! I felt like I started to turn red because my face all of a sudden felt warm.

"Are you okay Ben?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I'm just... afraid of clowns."

"Oh good. I hate clowns. I thought I was the only one who was scared of them."

"Wait, you're telling me the famous Lily Styles is scared of clowns? Wow, I guess we have something in common well besides having powers." I've never said that to anyone before and before I found a good disguise, I saw that Lily was happy being with me and I like that. After me and Lily bought our costumes, I rushed out of the store before anything happen so Pakmar wouldn't get more mad at me.

"Have a nice day and this is the last time Ben Tennyson is allowed in Pakmar's shop. You can come anytime you want Lily Styles just not with Ben Tennyson."

"Okay Pakmar, thank you for the costumes. Promise me Ben that we don't have to deal with what ever happen between you and him."

"I don't know what will happen but at least this time I didn't destroy his store." We both started laughing and decided to explore Undertown more. We didn't have to go to Mr. Smoothy's for another 3 hours. I showed Lily where most of my battles were and who I fought. I even told her about other dimensions and how there are other mes, even the bad ones. She was in shocked when I told her and she asked me if there was other hers in the dimensions. I never saw her other dimensional self but I told her there's most likely other hers. We kept talking until we heard a loud explosion that was near Pakmar's store so we ran to see what happened. When  we got there, we just heard...

"How dare you killed Thunderpig's cousins and sell them as costumes! Thunderpig wants vengeance for his cousins!"

Me and Lily knew that Pakmar didn't kill Thunderpig's cousins since there was a tag on the costumes that said "Made in China." I told Lily to stay back while I was deciding on what alien to transform. The first alien I saw was Four Arms but right when I pressed on my Omnitrix and transformed, I just heard Lily saying...

"Aww! That alien is so cute Ben!"

I looked at myself and I turned into Pesky Dust. Out of all of my aliens, why did it have to be Pesky Dust?! At least it wasn't Nanomech. All of a sudden, I was hit by Thunderpig's energy flail. He shot me into Pakmar's store but Pakmar yelled, "Get him for destroying Pakmar's shop Ben Tennyson!" I quickly got up but then saw Thunderpig heading towards Lily. I flew as fast as I can but I thought I was dreaming because right after Thunderpig grabbed Lily's arm, she punched him so hard that it almost knocked him out.

"I didn't know you werrre that strrrong Lily."

"I didn't know either. Look out!"

Lily pushed me out of way while Thunderpig's flail missed us. Lily soon got a sword out of nowhere and chopped the chains from his flail in half and I decided that the fight needed to end so I dusted him until he fell asleep. He knocked out cold and I do not want to say what he dreamt. I called Plumber Headquarters to get Thunderpig and thanked Lily for helping me. I don't know why but I never thought she would help me beat someone. I never felt like this about anyone, not even to Ester or even Julie but I think I'm starting to have feelings for Lily and I don't know if she has feelings for me. I wonder if... nah. I don't think Lily Styles would have feelings for me. Maybe... ugh, I want to know if she does!
