Sorry this took so long. I actually had this done a long time ago... But I forgot to put it up. Sorry! Anyway, I hope you enjoy.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Ben 10, daemons, or any of the TDFers that are in here. They volenteered to be part of this.
DAD!
Yeah, Ben?
Wheres the red sleeping bag?
Gwen borrowed it, remember?
Ben wanted to groan, but Az did it for him. This was just great. It was absolutely vital that they got that sleeping bag. He would have gotten it earlier, but he had procrastinated. That was a bit weird for him, but he had been busy saving up by catching crooks for a reward, so he just hadnt had time. At least he had money.
He picked up the phone, quickly dialing Gwens home phone number. If she wasnt there, he would have to Jetray over and Goop into her house. Az pointed out that he wouldnt have to explain why he wanted it if he did that, and Ben started wishing she wouldnt pick up. She did.
Hello? she yawned.
Hi, Gwen, he said nervously.
Hey Ben, whats up?
He looked at the clock. 8:15. Forty-five minutes. There wasnt time to stall. Can I have that red sleeping bag back? he blurted out.
Sure, why?
He was afraid shed ask that.
Um, well
Suddenly, he felt inspiration, and channeled it through Az. She turned into a song sparrow and landed on his shoulder. Your dad wants it, she whispered the lie. Badly.
My dad needs it back, he replied. He wants to make sure everythings all nice and tidy for when my Mom comes back. He doesnt know you have it, and Im afraid hes going to blow a gasket looking for it.
Nice touch, Az complemented, turning into a horse by his side.
Thanks, he thought back.
How long do I have? she asked.
Id say about fifteen minutes, he estimated.
Ill be right over. She hung up.
He threw the phone on the table and bolted downstairs, afraid that his cousin had learned how to teleport or something and would find his dad watching football. (Sure it sounded really stupid, but when it came to Gwen, it was a viable concern.)
Dad, he called, I need you to do something.
Bens dad paused the game. What is it?
Its Gwen. I told her that you were looking around everywhere for that sleeping bag that you forgot that you lent to her and wanted the house to be nice and orderly for when Mom gets home, and that you were going to blow a gasket in fifteen minutes. Can you do that?
He raised an eyebrow, but he turned off the TV. Sure, I guess.
Well then get off your butt and get moving! he said. Az did the same, only with more colorful language. She could get away with that. They ran/galloped around the house, gathering the other materials they needed. His dad rummaged around the house, hunting for a red sleeping bag that would be coming through the door with his cousin any time between then and 8:30.
He was just stuffing the last pieces of clothing he needed into his s
