Hey! Where are you going with my...
Aah!
See? She waved. She likes you.
You should definitely ask her out.
No way.
What if she finds out about the Omnitrix?
I don't want her to think I'm... weird.
Ben, you are weird,
but you're also funny and sensitive
and well-mannered...
unlike some people I know.
What'd I miss?
She won.
Go ahead, Ben. Now's your chance.
Uh, I'm not sure that's...
Aah!
Whoa!
Ben?
Julie.
Hey.
Uh, you know my cousin Gwen?
Hi.
Congratulations.
Uh, Ben...
Right.
Way to go.
Great game... match...
set... whatever.
Well, see ya.
Back so soon?
Yeah.
So, um, Julie, uh, I was wondering if you'd like to...
I don't know... get together sometime.
Sure. When?
She said, "when."
That's like a yes, only more specific.
Now what?
You say, "how about tonight?"
Tonight?
I mean, we could go to the Pier...
Tonight.
Great.
Well, guess I'll hit the showers.
Yes. Good. Me too.
I mean, uh...
Ugh.
He'll come by around 7:00.
Sometimes I wonder how the species survives.
Yeah, I, uh, found that stolen truck.
No. No sign of whoever took it.
What do you mean he says it drove away by itself?
That just doesn't happen.
Much.
Great.
My hair looks stupid, my shirt is wrinkled,
and I have a zit the size of Kansas.
Yeah, that's one big zit, all right.
Aah!
How did you get in here?
The usual way.
Incidentally, you may want to fix that hole I punched
in your back door before your mother sees it.
You couldn't knock?
I sort of did.
Has anyone ever told you
that you're a strange and dangerous person?
Constantly.
But enough about me.
Gwen says that you need a favor.
Uh, yeah.
See, I kind of want to go to the Pier tonight... with Julie.
I bet you do.
And since I don't have a car...
Or a license.
I was wondering if you could give us a ride.
'Kay.
That's it?
No jokes?
No insults?
No blackmail?
Nope.
Wow.
Thanks.
Wait.
You're gonna wait till we're in the car,
and then you're gonna make my life miserable, aren't you?
Knob's broken.
This should be fun.
Now, remember, Benny boy,
your mother and I want you home by 10:00 sharp,
or you can't go to the disco.
Disco?
He watches a lot of reruns.
Give him a break, Kevin.
Gosh, pumpkin, what do you mean?
You know exactly what I mean.
At least when Ben likes a girl, he lets her know.
He asks her out.
Maturity... isn't that a novel approach?
Ben's got a girlfriend. Ben's got a girlfriend.
Listen, uh, sorry about Kevin.
Why is he so mean to you?
It makes him happy.
You're nice to let him.
Slow night.
This place is packed on weekends.
Good.
This way, we have the place to ourselves.
Yeah. Guess we do.
Is that a watch?
Yeah.
Really have to get it fixed.
You like cotton candy?
Good. You stay here. I'll be back.
Typical.
Everything's going great, then this freaks out on me.
That's more like it.
That can't be good.
Watch it!
Sorry.
Hey!
What is this?
"When carnival rides attack"?
Shh. Shh. Shh.
Aah!
Okay. I am so over this.
Hey, Bumpo, Bumpo, andale.
I hope there's a simple explanation for this, but I kind of doubt it.
Kid, you and me got a date with my insurance adjustor.
Date?
Aah!
Look, here's my allowance.
It's all I've got.
And then he ran off, and I've been...
Wait. He's coming back.
Later.
Sorry.
You would not believe the line.
Ben, there's nobody here.
Um, except at the concession stand,
where they're doing huge business.
I thought you'd stood me up.
Julie, I'd never, ever do that to you.
Look, I got pink and blue.
Your pick.
This looks fun.
Especially if you don't mind wrenching G-forces
and waves of nausea.
Are you saying you don't want to ride it?
No.
I'm saying it's a good thing I didn't get us the cheeseburgers.
Uh-oh.
You okay?
Me? Fine. No problem.
Listen, maybe we should skip this one.
Ben, are you hiding something?
No. No secrets here.
My life's an open book.
Just your basic regular guy.
Here we go again.
This way.
You stay here for a minute.
What are you gonna do?
Uh, bathroom?
This looks like a job for Jetray.
Aah!
I'm not Jetray.
I'm a seafood platter. Mmm.
And apparently one possessed of a highly advanced intellect.
Ergo, perhaps I should assign this new life-form a more
apropos nom de guerre.
What say...
Brainstorm!
Now I am most decidedly miffed.
What the deuce?
Aah!
And good riddance, might I say.
Hey.
Did I miss anything?
What?
Wait, you didn't see that?
See what?
That.
Aah!
Ben!
Aah!
Ben!
Julie! No!
This is just not my night.
None of this makes sense.
Why am I being attacked by carnival rides?
And why did it grab Julie?
Put me down!
Can't hit him with a neuroshock.
I might hurt Julie.
So I'll try the indirect approach.
Aah!
Let me go!
Gotcha.
What have you done with Julie?
I'm here.
And how do you know my name?
Julie, don't be scared.
It's me.
It's... Ben.
You're a monster?
Uh, No.
Well, uh, yes.
Actually, I'm like 10 monsters.
Cool.
Cool?
Ship, ship, ship.
Ship.
Excuse me.
We're talking here.
Ben, I think it's trying to tell you something.
Ship!
Hey.
Ship.
Ship, ship.
Ship.
You brought us out here to find that spaceship, right?
Wait.
I've seen that thing before.
You have?
Kind of.
I used to be able to turn into one of those.
Called myself Upgrade.
Well, whatever it is, it's hurt.
Get any closer to that energy field,
and it'll fry you like a potato.
What's that say?
Sorry.
I don't read alien.
You're what's behind all this?
Ship?
Okay. Ship.
Okay.
Now I know it's trying to tell you something.
It's a countdown.
That thing's gonna explode.
Humongousaur!
Um, explosion's over.
Right.
There you go.
Yes.
Well, as I was saying, before I lost consciousness,
I extruded this Symbiote... the one you call Ship.
Ship.
Thank you.
And sent it off to find the nearest Plumber.
Because your sink was clogged?
No.
Plumbers are intergalactic police officers.
I'll explain later.
And that's why he came after me?
Well, of course.
Didn't you receive his distress signal?
You mean, the beeping.
Yes, that beeping.
Don't you know how that works?
Not so much. No.
Really?
Aren't you a Plumber?
I thought you were.
I could spend the rest of my life here.
Look, is there anyone else I can talk with?
Not really.
That's why Ship tried to get your attention.
Get my attention?
He wrecked the Pier.
He kidnapped you.
Well, I needed help.
That's pretty obvious.
And you wonder why most aliens
only communicate with your livestock.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to repair my warp drive.
Come on, now. Be nice.
After all, you guys are practically related.
There anything we can do to help?
Well, uh, I suppose.
Very well.
There. Now it's on tight.
I, uh... I guess this is probably
the worst date you've ever had, huh?
No, not the worst, just different.
And being different is fine.
Right.
Well, well done.
Off I go.
Wait.
What about this thing?
Doesn't he blorp back into your body or something?
"Blorp."
That's not how it works.
Besides, you and he have had
such a lovely bonding experience.
He's yours now.
He's cute.
Are you gonna keep him?
Actually, this part of the date I'm not enjoying.
Yeah.
Sorry I can't fly us home.
But after so many quick changes,
the Omnitrix shut down to recharge.
Well, it doesn't matter.
We're both gonna get grounded
for a month after being out so late.
Great. Here comes somebody.
Stop.
Wait!
Well, so much for bonding.
