Chapter #5Love hits Gwen hard. And so does Puberty. by: Wolfboy   It was the first day of the new school year when Gwen Tennyson woke up from her rather restless slumber. It was weird, at the start of the summer she couldn't sleep through Grandpa Max and Ben's snoring, now she can't sleep without it. It had been a week since she came back home and she was surprised on how much she missed Max and Ben. Well Max was a no brainer on why she missed him, he was her favorite Grandparent. But Ben?! Her Cocky, Selfish, Nut-Brained, Smelly, Doofus of a cousin Ben?!. At the beginning of the summer she would've given anything to be anywhere else in 100 miles of Ben's person, but now (even though she would NEVER admit it) she would give anything to see his dorky but handsome face again.
Gwen eyes widened and her heart stopped for second {HANDSOME?!?!} she screamed in her head as she grabbed her head with both hands and toss and turned on her bed {What is wrong with me lately?! Ever since that dweeb almost destroyed the universe and we..hugged I can't get him out of my head. And what's worse, it's getting harder to ignore how much he's grown up.} she stopped moving and just stared at her ceiling lost in thought. It's true that while Ben is still cocky and selfish at times (to be honest most children are especially if given an all powerful weapon) he has also risked his life to save people time and again. He has also saved her life many times and even comforted her when she was at her lowest, in his own Nut-brained Ben kind of way. And while they may still argue and fight, it's not with any hostility anymore. It's more so out of habit and honestly it's fun for them to mess with each other. As she thought back on all the time that she and Ben had spent together over the summer, even all the times they fought, Gwen had a fond smile on her face and made the occasional giggle when she thought of Ben making a complete doofus of himself, which was often. All the while a warm, fuzzy feeling filled her heart as it now always did whenever she thought of Ben, which was almost all the time.
"Ben.." she sighed blissfully to herself before realizing what she was doing. A hot blush went across her face as shook her head trying to get these gross thought's out of her head. She got out of bed and went into her bathroom to splash cold water on her face. "Get a hold of yourself Gwen." she said to herself in the mirror "You're acting like a bigger dweeb then Ben! And we don't want that now do we?" she then noticed something while looking in the mirror. The buttons on her pajamas around her chest were tighter. "Speaking of bigger." she fondled her breasts that were now almost too big for her hands. She smiled rather smugly at the fact that she was now not only taller then Ben, but maturing faster then him too. A fact that she couldn't wait to rub in his face when she sees him at school. She finished her morning routine and dressed in her favorite outfit (just like she wears in the cartoon only with bigger breasts) but she notices that her B-cup bra was a little tight. But it wasn't anything she couldn't handle.
It was lunch time when finally saw Ben again. She was about to run up to him and surprise him with a tackle, but she noticed that Ben was being approached by school bullies Crash and T.J. She was about to intervene but decided to let Ben handle it {He's faced far worse then these losers even without the Omnitrix} she thought confidently. And her confidence in her cousin was not misplaced as he effortlessly dealt with his former tormentors. He didn't even use the watch as he blocked, dodged and redirected every thing the bullies threw at him. She noticed that Ben was using some of the moves she taught him over the summer to help him fight better when he couldn't go hero and fight even better when he could {Looks like the dweeb was paying attention to my lessons after all} this thought made Gwen very happy, probably happier then it should have but she was too happy and proud of Ben to care. After a minute of getting there butts handed to them Crash and T.J finally had enough and ran off with their tails between their legs.
"That's right! You better run! This is what happens when mess with Ben 10! You get your butt kicked 10 ways to Sunday!" Ben gloated as he often does, not prepared for Gwen tackling him to the ground.
"Is that right?" Gwen asked smugly as she had him pinned "Does that mean your going to kick my butt now?" she asked while giving him a noogie.
"GWEN!! Get off of me!" Ben squirmed under his cousin. Normally she would continue to torment him, but she decided to be nice since she was in a good mood after seeing Ben again, but don't tell him that. She helped him get back on his feet and wrapped her arms around him in a warm hug.
"It's good to see you Ben." she said sincerely with a soft smile.
" Uuuhh yeah it's good to see you too." he said awkwardly as he patted her on the back a little weirded out by the sudden show of affection. But it wasn't unwelcome as he even started to return the hug with a smile of his own when noticed all the other kids staring at them. "Uh Gwen I think that's enough."
"Hm? OH!! Right!" she blushed and quickly broke the hug and took a few steps back in embarrassment while Ben scratched the back of his head with a blush of his own.
"Ahem..So..Ben 10 huh? That's what your calling yourself now?" she asked the first thing she could think of to ignore her heart pounding.
"Hey it's catchy!" Ben defended his namesake "I've even been working on a theme song." he said proudly.
"Seriously?" she raised an eyebrow in amusement.
"Yep! Check it out." he pulled out an I-pod and pressed play (insert Ben 10 theme song here) "Pretty cool huh?"
"Okay that was pretty good." she said genuinely impressed "Quick question though. How did you make it?"
"A little help from my good old friend Grey Matter." Ben answered showing off his watch.
"Okay, but who did you get to sing it?"
"I did!"
"*Snort*..*Giggle*"
"What?"
"That just means..that you sing like a girl!" she pointed and laughed at him.
"Grr..That's it! Your dead meat!" Ben chased Gwen around the playground until he finally tackled her to the ground and they started to rough house like they always do when Ben accidentally put his hand on one of Gwen's breasts. Time seemed to freeze as the cousins looked at each other in shock. "Ahh!" Ben jumped off Gwen in fright "Gwen I'm so sorry I didn't to-" The lunch bell rang letting them both know that class was almost about to start again. Ben look at Gwen not sure of what to do "I'm sorry!!" he cried as ran away in shame at what he did.
"Ben wait!! It's okay!" she called out to him but he either didn't hear her or was too afraid to listen. As she watched her cousin ran off all she think was in that moment when had his hand on her breast..she didn't mind it. In fact all she could think was that in the moment when Ben was on top of her..as she look deep into his emerald green eyes..she wanted to kiss him. "What is wrong with me?"
