Phoebe had never liked Ben and Ben had never like Phoebe. It may have been because they had never met or because they were from two completely different stars. When they first met it was because Phoebe was lost. She was lost and panicking. "I'm lost" she said "I need to find the west wing, locker 274" "no worries" Ben replied "I'll take you there." The second time they met was the day after that in science class. They sat at opposite ends of the classroom but worked together in experiments because Phoebe was the new lost girl and Ben was the helpful nice guy. In many aspects of themselves they were quite different. Ben was not your stereotypical jock being smart. Phoebe was neither; nor sporty nor smart. She was at her best average at school. The place didn't interest her. She was more interested in stars and space. Ben however loved school. People would say hi to him, say bye, he was known there. Another thing that interested him was new people. Phoebe interested him but only until someone else came.

Lydia Black and Ben Parish were known to be the closest of friends...until the Others invaded.

However, Lydia and Ben are dead. New corpses are arising in their place. Are they the people they were before? No. Would they give up their trust to a man who needs help? No. Do they still having feelings for each other? Maybe. Did the invasion change them? Indeed.
