Aliens and Fairies are real?!

Around a day or so passes after the incident with Eon with both school's headmasters now being informed and now on high alert looking out for the Ben's so called evil twin as they're calling him but currently that didn't mean anything to Ben as he was having a little crisis on his hand

"It's been nearly a week since Bloom and I became a couple and I haven't even taken her out on a date yet" Ben says to himself as he's currently running back to Alfea as XLR8 after he was just done delivering a letter from Faragonda to Red Fountain's headmaster as her email had stopped randomly working

"Maybe I could take her down to Magix or to Earth" He says to himself as he runs through the front gates of Alfea before quick changing into his fairy form with her then walking into the school

"Or maybe I could cook something....yeah right I'd blow up the kitchen I can't cook" she says sighing into her hands before heading towards Faragonda's office to inform her about the delivery while at the same time wondering what the girls where up to

Conflicted.....would be an understatement as to what Stella was feeling at the moment as she read the invitation in her hand, it was a letter from Prince Sky asking her out on a date which didn't make a lot of sense to her as she didn't like him at all but then again this could be a good way to distract herself from the fact that Ben was now dating Bloom

"I might as well go….….even if just to distract myself" she says in a quiet tone as she walks to the kitchen putting her hand on the door taking a deep breath before putting up some act to at least try and seem normal "girls I have big news!" she says with a big fake smile as she opens the double doors walking in

"We know you got out of kitchen duty" Bloom says while at the same time wondering where Ben was as he should've been back by then

"For a good reason I've got a date" She says doing a pretty convincing job at seeming happy but she then flinches one she hears some footsteps and sees who's behind her

"Really? Congratulations Stella" Ben says with a big smile on her face while hiding something behind her back which didn't really help how she was currently feeling

"O-oh thanks Ben so I should really go get ready" Stella says as she could feel herself getting a bit...emotional? Taking a few steps back before running out the double doors as she could feel tears starting to well in her eyes

"Is it just me or was Stella acting odd?" Ben says reaching for the omnitrix with his bag filled hands in order to turn into Fasttrack and follow her but Bloom puts a hand on hers stopping her from following through with his actions

"Oh c'mon Ben I'm sure she's just feeling excited for the date" Bloom says looking up at her though Ben isn't exactly sure but she'll just ask her roommate in the morning

"Anyways, what do you have there?" Flora asks as Ben then looks at Bloom smiling as he gives her one of the bags as she opens it seeing ingredients to make cupcakes

"I couldn't decide where to take you for our first date so since I know you love baking cupcakes, I thought you'd enjoy just staying home and baking some cupcakes with me" He says giving her a nervous smile unsure of her reaction

As Bloom then just smiles before jumping up wrapping her arms around her neck "it's perfect" she says before giving her a quick peck on the lips before they hear Musa speak up

"Oh get a room you two" Musa says rolling her eyes as Bloom quickly separates from Ben with her face as red as a tomato

"Oh, c'mon what are you…..jealous?" Ben says with a small smirk as Musa just pauses her while her brain tries to process the fact before she feels her cheeks begin heating up as she turns away from them

"Oh my God she really i- hey do you girls smell something burning?" Ben says before the girls then turn to the omelets which are burning with them all freaking out

"Shit Ben turn into clockwork fast, we need to fix this before the chef gets back" Tecna asks as she sees a green flash of light in her peripheral

"Don't worry I've got this" He says as he reaches up turning the key before he then points at the omelets rewinding them to before they got burnt as they all breath a sigh of relief which quickly goes away as the chef appears looking around expecting the worst only to be met with a clean kitchen and ready omelets

Meanwhile Clockwork is above him somehow clinging to the ceiling praying that it was strong enough to keep him there until he left

"Good now don't you let the roast burn" the chef says before leaving as clockwork comes down with a loud crash

"Ouch….." He says unable to get up before he sighs before looking towards the girls "Help....please" He says before Flora and Tecna help him up as he reverts to his human form before surprises him as he meant to revert back to his fairy form

"Why didn't you just turn into Big Chill and go invisible" Tecna asks as Ben pauses to think before looking at her and saying the only thing that could come to mind

"I'm a dumbass and that really didn't come to mind at the moment" which earns him a facepalm from Tecna with her looking disappointed as the other girls just giggle at his misfortune

Now back at their apartment Ben had created an entire miniature kitchen using a bit of Alien X's DNA as Bloom then layed out all the ingredients on the counter and that's when Ben realized something

"I have no idea what I'm doing" Ben says as he's looking at the ingredients laid out on the counter as Bloom then comes over while putting on an apron before also putting one against his chest

"Here put this on" Bloom says confidently as she looks at the ingredients with Ben just standing behind her

"Ok Ben let's do this" She says reeling back her already short sleeves as Ben puts on his apron hurriedly

As they then begin a long string of shenanigans which are caused mostly by Ben being unable to mix anything but some are also caused by Ship and Kiko jumping on them as they tried to get a lick of the batter

"Ship no you don't even have a tongue to taste the batter!" Ben says trying to hold back ship as best he can while Bloom's trying to calm down Kiko which is more difficult since Kiko seems to have toon force as Ben calls it but eventually the two are able to be kicked out by the two as they then close the door breathing a sigh of relief

"Phew....now back to the cupcakes!" Bloom says with a sudden burst of energy as she grabs Ben's hand lifting him up

"Wha- Bloom wait!" he says but his pleas are all but ignored as the baking process is a giant disaster with Ben being covered in flour multiple times and the two laughing every time before they eventually are able to bake the cupcakes as Bloom takes them out of the oven looking very happy

"Girls they're done" Ben says while patting away the last bits of flour on his apron before looking around "girls?" He asks before noticing they had all fallen asleep on the couch

"We really must've taken a long time" Bloom says before Ben just sighs cracking his knuckles

"I'll take Musa and Tecna first then I'll take Flora" He says before activating the omnitrix and scrolling until he finds Fourarms before slamming down it turning into the Tetramand

"Haven't seen that guy in a while" Bloom says taking a small bite out of one of the cupcakes while watching Ben scoop up both Tecna and Musa before carrying them into their room

Once Fourarms get to their room he's able to put Tecna in her bed no problem but Musa's a bit more...clingy as she sleepily wraps her arms around the Tetramand's neck mumbling something in her sleep with the only words he's able to make out is his own name

"Weird dreams" Fourarms says before he's able to peel her off of him and get her onto her bed as a green flash of light fills the room as he reverts back to his human form

"Ok I got those two to bed now just Flora left" He says as he walks over and scoops her up as he carries Flora to her and Bloom's room as he gently sets her down on her bed while Bloom sits down on her bed

"Hey Ben over here" She says as Ben walks over grabbing a cupcake out of the tray and taking a bite

"Not bad" He says with a small smile on his face as he sits down next to her as they eat in silence for a bit just enjoying each other's presence before Bloom decides to speak up

"Well since you're already here.....do you want to…..sleep over?" She asks a bit sounding a bit shy as she can feel her face heating up as Ben stops mid bite to think

"Well....why not though if you don't mind, I prefer to sleep.....shirtless" he says while looking away not noticing Bloom's face suddenly turn red once more as she looks away before taking a deep breath to calm herself down

"Sure, I don't mind" she says before she sees Ben finish his cupcake and then take off his shirt before stretching as her eyes go wide once they land on him but not because she finds him attractive but instead by the number of scars he has all over his body that are normally covered up by either his jacket or hoodie

"Ben these scars" Bloom says quietly knowing that these scars shouldn't even exist due to the fact she knows he regenerates between transformations "How did you get them" she asks quietly as she grabs onto his arm slowly tracing the scars along his arm before she looks up as Ben just looks away almost ashamed of his scars and how he got them

"I'm going for a walk" he says suddenly as he stands up activating the omnitrix as his eyes land on transformations he's never used before but he collected on his journey throughout the omniverse but he instead chooses ghostfreak as he transforms into the ectonurite

"Ben, wait I'm sorry!" Bloom says quickly standing up in a panic before she sees ghostfreak disappear from her vision as he turned invisible

"Ben? Ben!" She says as she tries grabbing the air where he once was before realizing even if he was there she wouldn't know as he could turn intangible

"Ben please we can talk....please still be here" She says knowing she really can't do much as how is she going to find an invisible and intangible ghost but thankfully her prayer is answered as Ghostfreak slowly re-appears in front of her though his one green eye was looking to the side unable to make eye contact

"You're still here thank goodness" She says quickly rushing over and hugging him as she closes her eyes once she sees Ghostfreak's hand touch the omnitrix symbol but once the light dissipates instead of his human form he's in his fairy form as she sighs completely giving up

"Sorry about that I'm still not completely comfortable telling you everything from my past yet" She says while looking away before Bloom just helps her sit back down on the bed while also covering her up using her blanket since her clothes when she's human also transfer to his fairy form so right now she's basically topless

"Ben please...I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you upset but these scars" She begins saying before she stops as she touches the scars on her back as Ben just looks down

"I wasn't exactly loved as a child" She begins before she stops briefly trying to get her emotions in check taking a deep breath as she continues "Well to say people hated me well....would be a bit of an understatement....I'm not going to bore you with too many details but all these scars….they were caused by them before I got the omnitrix" She says as she looks down at the omnitrix symbol on her left hand before looking away from it

Bloom just sits there never saying a word as Ben spills her heart out explaining that he tried to not let the past abuse that was done to him affect his life but the moment his Grandpa killed her old best friend Rook just because he told Ben that they were going to take the omnitrix away...Ben snapped and let out all those long years of abuse out as she confessed to her that she not only fought against but also killed her grandfather along with the majority plumbers stationed at the base who were all ordered to kill her despite the fact that she believed Bloom would probably find her a disgusting and vile person for doing such a thing

"And that's my story.....soon after that happened I left with my children and the sentient ultimates…..before traveling alongside them across the omniverse until I arrived at your universe.....people were friendly so I thought to settle down on earth…..so I left my children on domino, scattered the ultimates across the magic dimension and finally went to earth and met you....my life changed once I met you" she says all the while looking away from her as she then smiles remembering the day she met her in the park "My life changed for the better....I can't thank you enough Bloom" Ben finishes as she closes her eyes waiting for Bloom's reaction only to feel Bloom's arms wrap around him tightly which causes her eyes to widen as she turns her head slightly to the side so he can look at her

Bloom doesn't say anything as she hugs her since she's scared any words that come out of her mouth would make her react in such a way he'll want to leave again

But then suddenly something unexpected happens as Ben's body begins glowing as they separate with Ben looking down at his hands as he's suddenly in his Winx form which doesn't make sense but then his winx form suddenly gained a small DNA shaped brooch on the left side of her chest as she also gets a small mostly black bag with some green lines kind of similar to how Ship looks

"What is this?" Ben says as she looks at the bag and then at the brooch trying to understand how that happened she didn't even want to turn into her winx form as she inspects the bag more closely before a sudden wave of tiredness overcomes her as she collapses down on to the bed as the omnitrix lets out three short beeps before timing her out as the room is briefly consumed by green light as she's reverted back to her human form

"Ben?" Bloom asks as Ben takes a deep breath and sighs before looking at the omnitrix not really understanding how inconsistent magic and his omnitrix have been behaving

"I'm fine let's just go to sleep" He says and Bloom doesn't say anything for a bit before joining him in on the bed

"Are you sure you're gonna be ok?" She asks looking up at him as he gives her a reassuring smile before having to bend over slightly as he gives her a quick kiss on her forehead as she smiles before closing her eyes as that's more than enough reassurance for her with her cuddling up to him

The two stay in that position a while before Bloom finally falls asleep leaving Ben with his thoughts on the transformation he unlocked as he remembers one time he and Tecna were studying together for an assignment, he read about a transformation that a fairy could attain once they overcame a great fear or weakness of theirs as he finally remembers the name...…Charmix
