Alien oneshots part 2

Polar Manzardills, Allumette part 2

xxxxxxxxxxxx

It's been a full year and it's….

(Insert Frosty the Snowman)

CHRISTMAS…..well a few days before Christmas but you get the point. And everyone's getting ready for the day of days...well except for two people that is.

Four Arms let out a battle cry as he ripped a turrets head off and tossed it at several others, all of them firing on him.

Zap zap zap!

Some lasers fired as a large ice shield was produced from thin air as Allumette jumped into the fray. She was wearing a slick black suit with the plumbers symbol on the chest with white combat boots.

"How many more of these are left?"

"About twenty. Feeling overwhelmed aunty?"

"Fuck no, I just thought I'd ask before I win." She smirked. "After all we're tied fifty fifty."

He swung his fist and knocked one turret off before smirking. "Make it fifty-one to fifty, I think old age is getting to you." he teased before he went back to his normal form. "Not one word."

"Word." She said before sending some ice at a few turrets and froze them solid. "Now it's sixty to fifty one. Looks like this old lady's better than you, baby."

"Well you're looking pretty good for one." he teased before becoming Grey Matter. "Oh come on, I need something big and hulking, not tiny and brainy."

She picked him up. "You're a baby." She put him on her head. "Now watch the master at work."

He grumbled while Allumette ran toward the turrets. He held on and tried to keep from falling as she ducked and rolled out of the way while freezing them as she went. 'Damn it!'

That was when a large robot with buzz saw blades on its arms and long metal tentacles near its legs appeared.

"Oh no."

"Oh hell ya!" Allumette smirked. "I need a challenge!"

"Before you go trying to give it frostbite might I suggest you throw me at it's head first?"

"No." She frowned. "You're my nephew so I'm not going to just throw you at a robot with fucking buzz saw hands!"

"Hello? High level intellect here? Just trust me bef-LOOK OUT!"

BZZZZ!

She dodged a buzz saw and back flipped to the right. "Fine, but if you get hurt I'm not going to be happy at all."

"Trust me, I know what I'm doing."

She grabbed him before throwing him at the robot.

"AHHHH!" he screamed before hitting the head and groaned before quickly climbing around the back as it tried cutting Allumette with the saws.

She dodged while trying not to get hurt or sliced up. "Any day now!"

"It takes time aunty."

BZZZ!

"Now!" She yelled while dodging a blade saw that nearly cut her head off.

"Hold on!" he called while opening a hatch and started to grab various wires. "If I put that with this, and that with this, oh this one could work."

The robot raised its arms up before spazzing out and exploded into pieces, with the blades hitting the walls.

"I'm the man." Gray Matter said before recalling that he was falling to the ground. "And AHHH!"

Amulette quickly formed some ice on the ground which he slid when he landed and went over to her.

"Thanks."

"Anytime." She said while picking him up. "But I'm still the winner, baby."

"What no! I won!"

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah Yeah talk to the hand."

"I took that guy out on my own while you were bobbing and weaving, that's worth more than ten turrets."

"I threw you up there, meaning I got the points."

"Doesn't count."

She frowned before getting an idea and caused some ice to form into a large slide. "Hope you like," She then threw him. "The ride!"

"Waah!" he called as he went sliding down it and shivered before transforming back and rolled on the ground when he landed. 'I'll get you for that!'

Allumette chuckled at that while feeling a little joyful, for once. But she then yawned. "Let's call it a day, I'm pooped."

"Fine." he pushed himself up. "But next time, I'm gonna beat you and get the top record."

"Like that's going to happen." She smirked. "But here's a bet, if you do win I'll do anything you want. If I win, you call me super aunty Allumette of perfection for a year."

"Well if you wanna feel old, ok." he shrugged before she glared. "Kidding kidding, but come on, you asked for that one."

"I'm not that old." She frowned. "I'm only a few years older than you, and last I checked Gwen and Kevin were too."

"You're no fun." He said with a sigh.

Allumette smirked. "Good, now let's get going."

(Later)

The next day the two went down to plumber HQ since Max told them they had a mission for them.

"I wonder what this mission is." Allumette said as they walked down the hall. "Maybe it's a outer space mission with lasers and killer robots."

"Now now, your not that ready for that kind of mission aunty."

"Yes I am!" She huffed. "And if you try to act tougher then me I'll tell your mom what you do when she's cooking dinner."

"You wouldn't dare!"

"I can and I will." She said with a glare.

He crossed his arms and huffed. "Fine fine, but I'm just being honest. I mean this is your real first mission actually going out and not in the base."

"So? I've been out on the streets all my life. A little danger wouldn't hurt me." She laughed. "And I'll protect you when that watch gives you a bad alien."

He frowned at that before seeing his grandpa. "Yo grandpa, you need us for something big?"

"Yes and it's about your speed." He said with a serious tone. "I want you two to head to the planet Kylmyys."

"Kylmyys." Ben shivered. "Not that planet."

"What is it?" asked Allumette.

"The home of the Necrofriggians and the Psycholeopterrans." Max said. "And a planet in a near permanent ice age that ended most life on the planet except for those two species."

Her eyes sparkled. "A-A planet with ice….wow."

"But why there?" Ben asked.

"It's come to our attention that an alien trafficking ring was established there and is starting to take some of the locals." he crossed his arms. "We tried sending a few others, but they went MIA, meaning we need you two to try and find them and get any prisoners there free."

Allumette frowned. "Alright dad, but should we use extreme force on the traffickers or not?"

"Use extreme force, but don't kill them."

"You got it." spoke Ben. "And don't worry grandpa, I'll make sure aunty Allumette here isn't too scared so she can hold my hand."

"I'm not scared." She glared. "But if you're willing to hold my hands, I'll keep you safe like a little kid."

"I'm serious you two, you need to keep focus since a lot of innocents are involved."

"Alright." Both said before walking off.

'Hopefully they don't do anything drastic.'

(Later)

-Somewhere in space-

"Word of warning, the big bugs on this planet are Big Chill's predator, meaning they can stand the cold just fine. And if they ever stop and flap their wings, don't stare, they can hypnotise you."

"I don't get hypnotized Ben." She smirked. "People tried and it never worked in my long years of living on trash."

"Well I just wanted to warn you so you don't get eaten or start clucking like a chicken." he teased while leaning back in the chair as the ship went on by autopilot.

She huffed at that before sticking her tounge out at him.

'She acts more like a child than an aunt sometimes.' He thought while not noticing his eyes were not looking at her face, but her chest. 'On the upside, she's got plenty of time ahead of her, so at least she won't have any wrinkles anytime soon.'

"Ben." She said with a raised eyebrow. "My eyes are up here."

He snapped out of it and looked up. "Huh? What's up aunty?"

"You were staring at my chest."

"I was?" He blushed. "Oh um...sorry?"

She sighed. "Next time, keep your eyes up and your hormones down. Kapish?"

"Roger." he replied before inwardly slapping his head. 'What's with you? You shared one kiss and you're staring? She's still officially your aunt on paper!'

As this was happening, the ship got closer to a large blue planet with large ice sheets covering every part of the planet.

"Arrived at Kylmyys." The computer AI said.

Allumette went wide eyed seeing the plane while her tail swished around. 'That's….the coolest fucking thing...EVER!'

"Easy there." remarked Ben before moving over to grab a specially made suit for the climate. "I'd get your suit on, it never hurts since your DNA might not be suited. I mean it might, but I never tested out how much cold Big Chill and Arctiguana can handle."

She raised an eyebrow at him. "Thanks but I can do this myself. After all, how cold can it be?"

(On planet)

"Burrrrrr, achoo!" She sneezed while shivering like crazy.

"See? Now hurry up and put the suit on."

She turned to him before running towards him and hugged him tightly. "After I get warm, so give me your heat!"

He blushed a little while feeling the chest near his own. "H-Hey! You won't get any heat with my suit on, just put the suit on and hurry!"

She huffed before putting the suit on. 'Mean.'

(One changing session later)

"Ah." Allumette sighed while walking through the snow. "Lukewarm, my favorite type of warmth."

"Alright, now the last coordinates grandpa gave us are telling us to go east. Remember, if you see something that looks like a giant bug, call out and close your eyes."

"Why not hand signs?" She asked. "Doesn't that work as well?"

He sighed. "Just call." While he was busy taking, he noticed her ass moving a little bit from the suit. 'Damn, that suit really does wonders.'

She looked around before noticing a sleeping blue like lump on the ground. "Hey Ben, what's this thing?"

He turned and walked over carefully. "Let me check."

"Zzzz." It snored while Ben saw the face and paled.

"That's a Psycholeopterran."

"Looks kind of lame." She deadpanned. "Like a fucking cat."

"It's endangered and very dangerous." He whispered. "Now be quiet."

She raised an eyebrow while Ben backed up. "Oh come on, it's not gonna wake up just because we talk."

It opened its eyes while spreading its wings and took flight. "Bzzz."

"Allumette!"

"How was I supposed to know it was a light sleeper?!" She snapped before seeing a chain around its back leg. "Hey look!"

"What?!"

"I think it's a guard dog!" She said while pointing to the chain. "Meaning we're close."

"Bzzzzz." The predator buzzed while looking ready to attack at the slightest movement.

"Just hang on first." Ben dialed in an alien and became Big Chill before turning intangible and went down the snow.

Inside was a large network of cables and large tubes with various versions of Big Chill's species, all of different genders, ages, and sizes, in a state of suspended animation with various bruises and scars on them. There was even one that was almost like a skeleton, and it was a child too.

His eyes widened before moving up. "It's under the ice and snow, we gotta get inside."

"I can break it with my hands."

"Or I could change into another alien."

She frowned. "Come on, let me at least try."

"Bzzzz." came the alien who looked at Big Chill and lashed it's tongue out.

"Woah!" he flew away. "I gotta do it quick before it tries to have me for a snack. Try to distract it."

"With what?!"

"Anything!"

She groaned before looking at the insect and started tap dancing. "Hey over here you fucking bug!"

It turned to her while Big Chill went back to Ben and fiddled with the watch.

"Come on, someone big to break the ice, or someone to melt it!" He said before seeing Way Big and slammed down on it.

Allumette continued to tap dance while trying to keep the bug on her. "Hey bug face! Your mom was so fat that she was mistaken for a bloated grub!"

"Bzzzz." it let out before a red mist came from its mouth and the flapping of its wings began to make numerous red circles.

"What the….ugh…." she groaned while looking a little loopy. "So pretty…."

The insect continued to do this before getting grabbed by a large hand. "Bzzz?!"

"Quit gawking at my aunt." spoke Humungousaur who broke the chain and hurled the predator far off before turning to Allumette. "Snap out of it!"

She continued to be loopy before snapping out of it. "Huh? What happened?"

"You were hypnotized."

"..." she blushed and looked away. "Never mention this. EVER!"

He chuckled before feeling his body starting to weaken. He shivered and quickly started to dig into the snow and ice. "No time to talk, we gotta get inside before I freeze!"

She nodded before jumping on his foot as they dug deeper into the frozen planet.

(A little while later)

Some aliens with whips and chains were walking by before feeling snow dropping from the ceiling.

"Huh?"

FLOSH!

"Ah!" Both screamed as snow landed on them and completely entombed them.

Humungousaur and Allumette landed on the ground as the alien turned back into human form.

"Oh thank god." sighed Ben rubbing his arms. "I forgot he's a giant dinosaur and they are NOT fans of the cold."

"Could be worse, you could've been a fish." Allumette chuckled before looking around and gasped. "Oh….fuck…."

"I know, but we need to find the boss and break their legs."

"Why the legs? Why not their skulls or arms?"

"Arms, maybe, but not the skulls. Remember, we can't kill them, but I'm gonna need to really try." he frowned before several aliens appeared at the end of the hall.

"Hey! Who are you?"

"They're intruders! Shoot 'em!"

Allumette took a deep breath before sending a large wave of ice at them, freezing most of their arms and legs. "Not today motherfuckers!"

"Ah! My legs!"

"I can't move my arms!"

Ben dialed at his watch before slamming it and turned into Heatblast. "Time to raise the heat."

"Just not on me." Allumette said as more aliens appeared from the other hallway.

Heatblast gathered some flames before letting out a stream of them at the aliens.

"Ahh! My ass!"

"My balls!"

"Oh god it hurts!" One yelled out as the snow started to melt from the walls and floor.

"Um Ben, maybe you should try something that WON'T bury us all!"

"Oh right." he stopped before hitting the symbol. "Quick, let's take this somewhere else, we gotta rescue the prisoners anyway!"

She nodded as they ran passed the frozen guards.

(A few hallways later)

"This is the place!" Ben said as they ran towards the room with the prisoners inside.

"Oh my god!" spoke Allumette with wide eyes seeing rows after rows of Necrofriggians.

"I know, but we need to get them out." He said while Allumette started to shake in anger.

"Those bastards! I'll murder every last one of them!" She growled while making a trilling sound.

Ben dialed at his watch before slamming it and turned into Diamondhead. "Ok, let's do this carefully, we don't need any of them to go into shock."

She nodded before walking towards one and started freezing the glass, but it didn't break. "What the?!"

"The glass must be ice proof."

"Double fuck!" She growled before punching the glass.

Crack.

She blinked before punching the glass again.

CRACK!

Beep beep beep beep beep!

"Intruder alert! Intruder alert!"

"Aw shit." they both said at once.

The doors opened as tons of aliens with whips, plasma blasters, and energy swords ran out and surrounded them.

"Get them!"

"AHHHH!" They roared before charging at the two.

Diamondhead formed two blades and started using them to cut the blasters away while Allumette started exhaling frozen blasts all around.

To say the least, it was complete chaos. And for the two, somehow they enjoyed it, slightly.

After a few minutes of this the watch started to beep.

"Oh shit!" He said before changing back.

"Look!"

"A human!"

"Perfect! We can catch him and sell him to a warlord of one of the Andromeda system's planets!"

"Cover me!" he spoke before taking cover when they started firing.

Allumette nodded before covering them in a dome of ice. "That'll hold those fuckers."

Ben fiddled with some of the electronic locks as more and more of the aliens were slowly left let out while groaning. "No more time for sleeping, it's time to get out of here."

One groaned before seeing Allumette and pointed. "Savior?"

"No that's my aunt." he replied while they rubbed their heads and he transformed into XLR8. "Follow me, she can handle them."

They nodded while Allumette saw them leave. 'Time to cut loose.' She then saw the lasers melt the ice before using her powers to freeze the laser blasts solid before grabbing it like a lance. "TIME FOR SOME ICE SPEARING! AHHHHH!"

The aliens went wide eyed and ran off as she ran at them.

"COME BACK HERE YA BASTARDS!" She roared while XLR8 kept on taking the prisons to the surface, holding the ones that were too weak to fly or walk in the process.

However, they didn't notice the ground shaking as the boss, a very large Humungousaur wearing black thermal armor and carrying a large whip, stomping out of his office.

"Blasted intruders, this is the fifth time this year!" he growled while he saw the aliens run by him. "Stop running you bastards and kill them!"

They turned around before getting frozen solid by the hybrid.

"HELL YA!" She laughed before looking up. "Um, aren't you a long way from the fucking Jurassic pal?"

"I don't know who you are brat, but you're gonna sell pretty good with a bikini." he smirked before reaching down towards her.

Only to get a frozen laser lance to the palm.

"FUCK YOU! I'm not going to be a Leia fuck wad!" She growled before seeing the alien break the lance. 'Fuck!'

"You got spunk, but I'm going to enjoy breaking your spirit." He growled. "So says Indominus Turd-ia."

She blinked before snickering a little. "Turd, ha! That's so stupid!"

"It's Turd-ia!" he snapped before trying to stamp on her.

Only for her to dodge and try freezing the suit.

"You can't beat my turnal armor! It's powered by a piece of a star!"

'Fuck! Anytime now Ben!'

(With XLR8)

"And that's the last of them." he panted while shivering and feeling icicles forming. "C-C-C-C-C-Can't y-y-y-you all t-t-t-take it f-f-f-f-from h-h-h-here?"

"Too weak…" groaned one.

"Can't move my wings…."

Beep beep beep beep.

FLASH!

Ben groaned while hearing an explosion go off behind him.

"Indominus Turd-ia." One of the prisoners said in fear. "We must go now!"

"Who's that?" Ben asked.

"A slaver." One said in fear. "He caught us and sold our families, and now…."

"He'll discipline that girl." One child said. "Like mama and papa before her."

"Not on my watch." Ben said before slamming on his watch and became Ghostfreak. "Was hoping for Way Big but meh, this will work."

(With Allumette)

She dodged another punch while it caused the wall behind her to crumble.

"Stop moving around brat and take your punishment like a whore!" Turd-ia growled.

"How about I turn you into a new statue?" She said in anger before trying to freeze him again, only for it to not work. 'Shit!'

He charged at her before grabbing her by the tail and threw her against a wall.

"GAH!"

He then grabbed her by the neck. "You can't beat me brat, and now I'm going to make sure that you're an obedient little slut for the Incursions."

"Up….yours."

He glared from his helmet before getting poked on the shoulder.

"Hey pal, hands off my aunt." Spoke a voice as the alien turned and saw nothing.

"Show yourself!"

PUNCH!

"Gah!" He yelled while stumbling back.

"Didn't your mom ever tell you it's not nice to hit a lady?"

PUNCH!

He grunted again before trying to punch the air, only to get hit in the face again. "Why you little-"

PUNCH!

"You know, if I was another alien, I'd take my time to REALLY make you suffer for every single one of those prisoners!"

PUNCH!

"Grrrr, when I get my hands on you I'll!" He stopped before seeing the culprit. "An Ectonurite?"

Ghostfreak narrowed his eye before pulled off his own skin.

"AHHHHH!" screamed the slaver dropping the whip and going pale while backing up. "G-G-Get away! Get away!"

"What's wrong? Scared? That's how they felt!"

Turd-ia backed away even further before getting tentacles around his armor as Ghostfreak started ripping them off. "N-No! Not my armor!"

"Time for you to feel the ice cold justice of this planet!" he spoke before closing his skin. "Now aunty!"

Allumette took the deepest breath she could muster before sending a cold wave at the slaver, freezing him solid.

"NOOOO-"

FIZ!

The ice engulfed his mouth while his face looked like that of a frightened criminal.

"Grandpa's gonna have a nice warm cell for you back at base, along with those douchebags of yours."

Allumette panted while taking in deep breaths. "Ok...that was….epically scary Ben." She panted. "Good thing...you're not the ghost of Christmas yet to come…."

Ghostfreak chuckled at that before changing back. "Let's save the jokes for later, we gotta help them get some medical aid."

She nodded while they started walking away.

(Much later)

The plumbers came and were leading the aliens in a transport while others were attending to the Necrofriggians.

As for the statue? Well, it was getting thrown into the Null Void right now, but not before Allumette stopped them.

"Let me." She grinned before grabbing a Null Void gun and blasted the statue. It went through while she smirked. "Hope you like decorating someone's front lawn fuck head!"

"Easy there, he still needs to get there in one piece." spoke Max.

"Sorry dad, but he did say he was going to put a bikini on me."

Ben blinked while imagining that in his head. 'Oh god...just oh god.'

"In that case, make sure he gets in all the way, give him a good push." he smirked.

She nodded before taking aim with her foot and kicked it into the void. "See ya later turd face!"

"Feel a bit better?" asked Ben.

"Wished I could freeze his dick off but overall fine." She said while giving him a head rub. "So Feeling better yourself now that you just saved an entire planet?"

"A little."

Allumette smirked before noticing that he wasn't looking at her face. "Ben, you're doing it again."

"Ah!" he looked away quickly with a blush.

'What's just going on with him?' She thought while Ben started thinking about Allumette in a bikini and giving him a kiss.

'Mmmm, such cute lips Ben. But,' the image moved to undo her top. 'Let's move it to the next stage, BEN!'

"Ben! Look at me!" The real Allumette yelled.

"Huh?"

"Do you need me to freeze you? You look really fucking warm." She frowned while Ben looked like a tomato. 'Pervert.'

"Ok um….I'm fine. Just forgot to turn down the heat." He lied while looking away. 'Crap!'

She raised her eyebrow before blowing gently on him. "Better now?"

He felt the ice cover his suit while feeling like an idiot. "Uh, yeah, much." 'Fuck me! Just why did I think about it?!'

She sighed before looking at Max. "Hey dad, do you think we can go now? I want a little talk with my nephew."

"As long as you don't freeze him like last week."

"He stole my ice cream, I payed for it dad."

"After you took his."

She huffed while looking away. But before she could walk she suddenly heard a crack sound.

Crack.

She looked down before going wide eyed as she fell down a dark shaft. "AHHH!"

"Allumette!" Ben cried out before hearing a crack. He looked down and cried out when he went down too.

"Kids!" called Max before the plumbers saw the ice slowly break apart and lead to the shaft closing up. "Get that hole opened!"

(With the two)

Both screamed as they fell down deeper and deeper into the long tunnel before landing on a large snowfall, with Allumette getting crushed by Ben.

"Gah!"

"Oof!"

"Get the fuck off me Ben!"

"Ah, easy." he groaned getting off her. "You don't need to yell in my ear."

"Well you were on my back." She growled before getting up. "Well, fuck. Now what are we going to do?"

"Relax, I'll just fly us up." he replied before seeing his left arm in the ice and tried yanking it out, but when he did he saw ice covered the watch. "AFTER I get the watch out first."

She saw it and went wide eyed. "Hold on, I'll smash it."

"No no no no no! None of that aunty!"

She stopped in mid swing. "Then what should I do? Freeze it some more? Ugh!" She started kicking some snow. "Now I wish I had fucking fire powers right about now!"

"Relax, grandpa's probably working right now to get us out. We'll be back home in no time." he spoke before shivering. "Hey, does it feel more cold down here then above?"

She blinked before seeing a large cut on his suit. "Um Ben, look on your side." She pointed to the right hip.

He looked down and paled seeing the tear. "Oh shit!"

Allumette ran over and gave him a hug. "Hold on! I'll get you some heat!"

"W-What?" he blushed at the sudden move. "C-Can't you just try to freeze it shut?"

"No." She frowned. "You need body heat not more ice. Now just let me help damn you!"

He blushed while feeling the chest against his side. 'Don't think about it! Please god don't think about those breasts!'

'He might have been staring, but this isn't the time to get worried, he needs to stay warm as best as possible.' She thought while trying to keep her 'nephew' from freezing to death. 'And I won't let him become a popsicle!'

(Some hours later)

Both were now shivering as they looked around the enclosed cavern of ice and snow.

"W-When will they get here?"

"N-No clue."

"W-Well….I'm wishing for a cold box right about now." Allumette stuttered.

"H-How is that any b-better than now?" he chattered.

"S-Simple...it's not made of...i-ice…" she shivered while moving closer. "A-And its….n-not here…"

Ben shivered before noticing that her tail was wrapping around him like a snake.

"B-Ben...do you know why...people called me...Allumette?"

"Why…?"

"Because I...I looked like the….Little...Match...G-Girl…" she spoke while letting out a deep sigh. "Fuck! H-H-H-Hurry dad."

'If I could transform this would be easy. I didn't think my time would come in a cave with my aunt who I've just been staring at like a perv.' he took a deep breath. "Amulette, I gotta t-tell you something?"

"W-What...t-that you're...seeing things….?"

"N-No."

"T-Then...w-what?"

"I-I-I'm...s-sorry." he got out.

"F-For what?" She asked while feeling her body getting colder than normal.

"F-For l...looking at your chest and….and...thinking about...y-y-y-you in a b-b-bikini."

"...w-what?!"

"I-It was an accident!" he got out quickly.

She blushed a little. "T-Then...I have something…." she shivered a little. "I-I kind of….do the same…."

"W...What?!"

"B-But only because you're doing it!" She said quickly. "P-Pervert."

"T-T-Takes one...t-to know one." he got out with a small smile. "F-F-Funny, ain't it?"

"Y-Yes…" She said while moving closer. "I-It fucking is….but dad might...be m-mad at us."

Ben nodded.

"B-But it's...paper…" She stuttered. "A-And we're aren't...blood related…."

"T-T-T-Then let me...s-s-say this…" he took a deep breath and mustered what energy he had left. "You...are smokin' hot, even if you're cold too."

Allumette blushed before moving her face closer to him. "A-And you're...a handsome….guy...even if….y-you're...younger then me…."

He smiled and shivered while slowly closing his eyes.

"Ben…" Allumette said while her eyes closed.

"Yes…"

"If we die...I'll hunt you down...and give you….a good ass kicking…." she said as they felt the embrace of Father Winter.

But that's when something odd happened.

A small red and green portal appeared and a gloved hand started to appear from out of it.

(A few minutes later)

"...Ben, Allumette, wake up." Spoke a voice while the area seemed warmer than normal.

Both groaned while figuring this was heaven and they had died.

"Wake up."

"God…?" Allumette asked. "Where are you?"

"I'm not god." The voice said.

"Oh no, you're the devil then." groaned Ben. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hog so many smoothies."

"I'm not the devil either, but why did you do that?"

He groaned while opening his eyes. He started to see light and Max over him. "G-Grandpa?"

"Thank god you two were alright."

Allumette opened her eyes and looked around. "Dad? Where are we? And where's the snow?"

"You're on a medical transport flying near the planet Saturn."

"H-Huh? B-But that's not possible." Ben said in confusion. "We're light years away from the solar system."

"Well luckily we managed to get the hole opened up and got to you too, good call on using an emergency heat blanket by the way, without it you two might not have made it."

"Heat blanket?" Both said at once.

"Yes, and from the looks of it you two were snugger then a bug under a heated rug."

"But we didn't have one dad." Allumette said. "The only thing we had was my tail."

"You sure? Cause when we got down there it was on you both, thankfully it was just the right material for those temperatures, so one of you must have come prepared."

"But we didn't Grandpa." Ben said while looking lost as he saw a large blanket with a small tree on it.

Allumette blinked. "Um...I'm not going to question that." 'Weird.'

"But what were you doing with your tail anyway Allumette?"

"Keeping him warm."

"By wrapping around his hips? That might be mistaken for something else." Max said while both looked a little red on the face.

"I-It's not like that!" both said quickly.

He raised his eyebrow at that. "Are you sure?"

"Y-Yes!"'Both said again while Max took out a small letter from his pocket. "What's that?"

"A letter right next to you two. But all it says was hope you enjoy your time together, followed by a picture of two turtle doves."

"Turtle doves?" spoke Ben with confusion.

"See for yourself." He said while showing him the letter, all in cursive and with a hand drawn picture of two turtle doves, one blue and one green, nuzzling each other's heads.

They blinked before feeling like it had a deeper meaning and blushed red.

"Anyways, you two just relax, we'll be back home in no time."

"Ok dad." Allumette said as Max left the room. When he did she looked at Ben. "So...in the cave, um….what should we do about the memory?"

"You mean what we said?"

She nodded. "I mean...we were technically dying."

"But we're not now."

Allumette nodded before grabbing his hand. "So what? Should we forget it or….keep going?"

He blushed and squeezed her hand. "Well...honestly I don't. Otherwise it'd feel awkward, like we're lying to each other."

She looked away. "True….but maybe we can find a loophole? I mean it's not like it's all air tight right?"

"Well yeah, but I mean, should we try it? I don't wanna make things off if anyone found out, especially since you've got others then just grandpa as family."

She groaned. "Still, I think we should try." She squeezed harder. "And maybe we should….kiss now?"

"Without mistletoe?" he teased.

Allumette blushed. "Oh just pucker up!"

Ben chuckled before they moved closer to each other.

Chu~

They closed their eyes and scooted closer while unaware Max had heard and seen the whole thing.

'I see, they're in love.' He thought with a chuckle. 'Now this definitely reminds me of myself at his age.' he looked away to give them privacy. 'Verdona's gonna have a field day when she hears this.'

Said Anodite blinked while feeling like something just happened. "Huh?"
