(On a dark stormy night, the group was parked near a hotel while Max lay down in bed trying to get some shut-eye.)
(while Allison was in the kitchen cooking dinner with her headphones in playing her music and Ben was playing his Sumo Slammer video game.)
(while Jen was on her cell phone with an increasingly giddy face and she got more and more excited as her call continued.)
Jen: "What?"
(Jen asked.)
Jen: "No way! No way! Mom, that's awesome! Okay, alright. I'll see you in a month and a half. Ben and I love you too. Bye."
(She then hung up the phone and instantly got up and squealed like the little girl she was while holding her hands to her chest and dancing a bit on the floor.)
Jen: "Ben, you're never going to believe this!"
(she said as Ben briefly looked up from his video game as the others looked at her as she smiled.)
Ben: "What? The next Sumo Slammer's game is getting released early?"
(he asked as Jen shook her head.)
Jen: "No, bro. Mom's pregnant again!"
(Jen practically squealed in amazement.)
Ben: "What?"
(Ben asked as he got up.)
Jen: "You're going to be a big brother! I'm going to be a big sister!"
(Jen said with an amazed smile as she gripped her brother in a tight bracing hug and spun him around off his feet with a squeal of delight.)
Ben: "Whoa, sis, that's great!"
(Ben said with a smile as Gwen and Becky smiled and hugged their cousins with a massive grip as Gwen wiped a tear from her eye.)
Gwen: "OMG! We're so happy for you two!"
(Gwen practically cried out as Allison walked over to her with a smile.)
Allison: "Let's hope that your little brother or sister doesn't end up like mine did."
(she said with a hint of sadness in her voice while Jen smiled at her nad hugged her.)
Jen: "It's okay."
(Jen said.)
Jen: "If you ask me, you tried to be a great sister. Kevin was just a bad brother. But if I know one thing about villains, it's that he will be back."
Ben: "Well, now that that's out of the way."
(Ben smiled as he went back to his video game and unpaused it and went back to it as Gwen groaned while Jen flipped through her spells.)
Gwen: "I'm so bored."
(Gwen said, looking to her cousin.)
Gwen: "Even your dumb video game sounds good right now. I want to play."
Jen: "Me too."
(Jen said.)
Becky: "Me three."
(Becky smiled.)
Ben: "Sorry, I already have a partner."
(Ben said, attention squarely on the video game.)
Ben: "Run! And Ishiyama- slam! He's the coolest- kick! Sumo Slammer- jump! of all. So why would I want to play with you?"
Gwen: "To prove that you're not afraid of getting your sumo butt kicked by a girl!"
(Gwen smiled as Jen and Becky stood by her sides.)
Jen: "It's a four-player game, bro."
(Jen said.)
Jen: "There's room for all of us."
(At that, Ben paused the game and handed three controllers to his sister and cousins and they smiled as they got their game faces on.)
Allison: "You guys have at it."
(Allison said with a smile as she poured her pasta into the boiling water and put some cheese over a double boiler to start it melting.)
(Later on, the four were playing majorly as they grunted and groaned.)
(Each had stylized their character avatars after themselves within the game.)
(Gwen had gotten the top score at 83,255,890 points, Jen had gotten 77,743,625 points and Becky got 41,477,872 points while Ben only had a measly 57,302 points.)
Gwen: "Oh yeah!"
(Gwen cheered.)
Gwen: "Top score for the Gwen warrior!"
Ben: "Beginners luck for both of you. Though Jen is just as experienced as me in this."
Jen: "How many times have I played this game with you, Ben?"
(Jen asked, twirling her controller with her telekinesis.)
Ben: "I don't know, like 39!"
Jen: "And how many times have you lost?"
Ben: "...I don't know, like 39!"
(Ben said.)
Ben: "But now just see how a real warrior handles this!"
(Ben moved his joystick forward and moved his avatar forwards towards a chest, only for a giant purple warrior samurai to appear before him, knocking him back.)
Becky: "Get his butt kicked by Kenko the Shapeshifter?"
(Becky asked with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.)
Gwen: "Careful, you only have two lives left."
(Gwen said.)
(Ben then grabbed Gwen's controller and caused her avatar to fall off the edge.)
Gwen: "Ben, no fair!"
(Gwen shouted.)
Ben: "Careful, you only have one life left!"
(Ben mocked.)
Max: "Guys, please!"
(Max shouted.)
Max: "I'm trying to grab some shut-eye here."
Becky: "Sorry, Grandpa."
(Becky said.)
(While they were distracted, Ben snuck off and slammed the Omnitrix core down, transforming into Upgrade.)
(He then merged with the laptop and completely erased Gwen's score as she growled and shook the laptop.)
Gwen: "Ben Tennyson, you are such a cheater!"
(she said.)
Gwen: "You'll get yours one of these days!"
Becky: "Sis, be careful!"
(Becky said.)
Jen: "I'm not going to let you hurt my brother before he becomes an older sibling!"
(Jen said as they all reached for the laptop.)
(Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck the Rust Bucket, travelling up the outlet cord and shocking the girls and the laptop, who vanished in a flash, which instantly caught Allison's attention when she finished mixing the pasta with the cheese.)
(She then got up and checked the laptop and her eyes widened.)
Allison: "This is not good."
(she said as she checked the power and hooked up one of the controllers and put the headset on with a glare as she went to the customizer section of the game as she started it up and got her game face on.)
Allison: "Dinner's going to have to wait. Game time."
Max: "Oh, finally. A little peace and quiet."
(Max groaned.)
