Aliens and Fairies are real?!

It soon became early morning with the sun shining in through the cracks of Bloom and Flora's room waking up the former as she lets out a small yawn as she looks around disoriented.

"Huh...oh right" She says quietly as she rubs her eyes getting tiredly off the bed with Kiko still snoring quietly on the bed 'cute' she thinks with a small but tired smile as she walks over and opens the door to go brush her teeth only to see this giant crab-like alien walking back and forward picking up and putting down different tools as it was messing with its belt and mumbling to itself.

It takes a moment but eventually the Cerebrocrustacean known as Brainstorm notices Bloom just standing there still half asleep trying to process what she's seeing and wondering to herself if she's seeing things.

"Ah Bloom my dear friend, my sincerest apologies I was unable to get a single moment of sleep all throughout the night and so I came to the conclusion to best make due with the downtime and work on the Omnitrix" Brainstorm says as he taps the center of the open Omnitrix symbol making it close with him sighing afterwards "Unfortunately I was unable to make any process in unlocking the master control function" he continues as he picks up his tools walking to the other side of the room and placing them in his bag before closing it.

"Ben?" Bloom asks still trying to wake properly wake herself up as she rubs her eyes once more as she slowly regains her awareness.

"Who else? As far as I am aware the only being in this universe that can turn into other species is me" Brainstorm replies as he taps the omnitrix symbol on his belt reverting back to his normal human form as he then stretches getting used to being human again as for the past few hours he's just remained transformed as Brainstorm.

"But aren't you tired?" Bloom asks finally getting enough awareness to hold a conversation as she looks around the room expecting to be torn to shreds considering the other time's Ben turned into one of his aliens but it's surprisingly the same with the only thing out of place being his backpack which was now on the couch.

"Nah I'll be alright…..probably" he says though he isn't too confident he'll be able to make it through the rest of the day but suddenly he remembers what kept him up all night as he slowly turns to Bloom.

"Is there something on my face?" Bloom asks as notices Ben giving her a weird look as she quickly touches her face not noticing anything wrong.

"No but could you stay still for a moment I need to do something" He says as he moves up the omnitrix aiming it at her as Bloom takes a step back a bit afraid at what he's about to do.

"Ben, wait what are you?!" She asks before putting her hands in front of herself expecting the worst only realize nothing's really happening as she just sees this yellow light scan her up and down before hearing a sharp beep from the omnitrix signifying a new transformation has been unlocked as the faceplate opens up with the core coming up but he doesn't slam down on it like he does usually instead he lets the core go back down with the face plate once again covering it.

"Umm Ben what did you do?" Bloom asks sounding confused since all he really did from her perspective was just shine a bright light at her.

"Well by clicking these tw-" Ben begins explaining though he's interrupted by the omnitrix repeatedly beeping as he suddenly gets a panicked look on her face but before Bloom can ask any question, she gets blinded by a green flash of light.

"Ben wait a second" Bloom asks as she runs over and sees this little flying mechanical humanoid creature in Ben's place.

"Sorry Bloom but I have to go I'll explain everything later" Nanomech says as he begins shrinking and even though Bloom does try to grab him in order to get an explanation but at that point, he had shrunk so much she was just left standing there grabbing nothing but air.

"Where could he possibly be going at this time?" She asks herself as she then walks towards the bathroom since she still needs to wash her teeth.

It takes a while of searching but eventually nanomech is able to Faragonda's office as he flies in through a crack in the door before reverting back to being human as he lands with a small thud on the ground.

"Ah Ben it's good that you're finally here" Faragonda says with a soft smile as her eyes land on Ben.

"Well, you asked me to be here in the morning and so here I am" Ben says knowing that it's likely that she'll go on about how she contacted Red Fountain and that they've accepted his late arrival if this goes like any of the fantasy books he's read before.

"Well first is that I wanted to introduce you to an old friend of mine Professor Paradox" Faragonda says as they then hear the door click open and this man in a lab coat carrying a cardboard box enters but Ben doesn't recognize him though he feels he should.

"Hello Ben Tennyson, it's good to see you again, how are your girlfriends doing?" Paradox asks with a kind smile as he puts the box down with it then moving a bit as something alive seems to be inside.

"But I don't...wait a second did you say girlfriends?!" Ben asks as he takes a step back in sheer shock as Paradox scratches his chin in thought.

"Ah this must be earlier in the timeline than I thought" Paradox says in thought before he returns to look at the stupefied young man.

"Anyways I cannot stay long but I have brought you a present" Paradox says pointing to the box which does snap Ben out of it as he looks at the box completely forgetting what Paradox said a few moments earlier as he kneels down and opens the box with him then being knocked down as this weird techno-organic dog like creature comes out.

"Ship ship ship!!!" The creature says excitedly as it begins licking all over Ben's face with Faragonda being heard laughing in the background as Ben does his best to try and protect himself from the adorableness that is Ship.

"Ship?! How are you doing boy!" Ben says happy to see the small dog-like galvanic mechamorph as he eventually manages to get him finally under control as he scoops him up holding him in his arms but then he comes to a realization "Wait if Ship's here then what happened to...Yamamoto?" He asks suddenly sounding bitter as his relationship with Julie ended badly when he discovered that she ended up cheating on him with this french guy called Herve.

Paradox stops briefly trying to remember what happened to her and he's eventually able to "Julie Yamamoto is still alive though due to her paying more attention to her new boyfriend she had started neglecting poor Ship which is why I brought him to you" Paradox said which honestly just pisses off Ben even more and he has half the mind to turn into Alien X and Find Julie so he's able to give her a piece of his mind.

Which he actually goes to do as he has tried to position Ship in such a way that it still gives him access to the Omnitrix as he taps it scrolling until he finds Alien X but before he's able to transform into him his hand is grabbed by Paradox.

"Ben, I suggest holding off on revenge for now as Headmistress Faragonda still has something to say to you" Paradox says as Ben just glares at him before letting the core go back into the Omnitrix before looking towards Faragonda.

"Oh yes Ben we were wondering if maybe you'd like to join Alfea and be a student here" Faragonda says which honestly confuses Ben since he's just a guy and as far as he knows this is an all-girls school.

Noticing Ben's confused expression Paradox decides to elaborate "Maybe you should use your new fairy transformation that you unlocked by scanning Ms. Bloom Peters" Paradox elaborates as he looks at the confused teen who quickly takes a step back putting his hand on the Omnitrix.

"Wait how do you...talk and fast, were you spying on us?" Ben asks the repeated beeping of the Omnitrix being heard as the core was already raised up ready for him to transform with Ship being heard also growling at Paradox.

"Oh, I forgot to explain earlier but Professor Paradox is a time traveler who can see both the past and the future" Faragonda says standing up from her desk just in case Ben actually decides to fight Paradox.

"I guess that explains some things" Ben reluctantly says before the alien display dial pops back up once the core goes down though it doesn't show any of his usual aliens as it only gives him one option to turn into which was just a pair of fairy wings instead of the stylized version of his alien's heads that he's used to.

"Huh…..that's...weird" Ben says quietly as Ship lets out a confused noise looking up at him as Ben then presses down on the core unsure of what will happen as then bright light then briefly fills the room and once it's gone Ben is just confused as he doesn't feel any different.

"Weird I don't feel any different" He says looking at his hands and everything looks normal until he looks down and notices two…..weird bumps on his chest as he then looks up at Paradox and then at Faragonda wondering where it all went wrong in his life.

"All it did was make me switch genders...wait I can actually use this to my advantage" He or technically now she says since now she can attend Alfea with no difficulties as she's a fairy now.

"Well you're going to need this" Faragonda says walking over giving him a bunch of papers which include her new schedule, dorm assignments which is just the same as the girls, and a bunch of other things she'd need to attend Alfea "You better run off now since breakfast is about to start" Faragonda says which confuses Ben for a bit before he remembers that she's now a student at Alfea so she runs off nearly tripping over herself as she runs out of Faragonda's office with the papers and Ship still in his arms.

Paradox and Faragonda are quiet for a while before she decides to speak up "So…..girlfriends?" Faragonda asks with curious yet amused expression as to what he meant by that earlier.

"Very well I guess I can talk a bit more before I need to go back and help Ben Prime" Paradox says with a small laugh while sitting down as he and Faragonda get to talking.

It's now a bit later as Bloom and the rest of the girls are talking at breakfast as she then notices this brown-haired girl approaching them

"Uh hey you girls mind if I sit with you" The brown-haired girl asks and before Bloom can respond she notices the hoodie she's wearing as she realizes it's the same Ben often wears which is a white hoodie with some green stripes and the number 10 on the left side.

"Hold on a minute...why are you wearing Ben's hoodie?" Bloom asks confused before the brown-haired girl just smirks lifting up her left arm and pulling back the sleeve to reveal a bracelet that has the Omnitrix symbol on it.

"Surprised?" She asks before she sits down next to her as Bloom just stutters trying to find the proper words.

"Ben?! How did you?" Stella asks wondering how could the guy she secretly has a crush on suddenly turn into a girl.

"Oh, it was easy" she says pulling back her sleeve leaving the Omnitrix symbol easily visible to the girls before he points to it "Ok so in order for me to get a new form I often need to scan a new species that has to be both sentient and sapient which fairies are" she says gesturing to the rest of them before resuming her explanation.

"I managed to get this fairy form by scanning Bloom earlier today when she woke up, but I didn't have time to explain it until now since I had to leave suddenly to meet with the headmistress" She finishes the explanation by taking a bite out of some toast as the rest of the girls are looking at her.

"Wait, does this mean what I think it means?" Tecna asks as Ben nods before showing them her new apartment key which looks identical to the one's the girls have.

"Yep, I'm officially Stella's new roommate" she says giving Stella a big smile as she extends a hand across the table for a high five which she quickly returns high fiving Ben.

"Wait that now that we're on topic…..how do you transform because I tried to earlier, but I just looked like an idiot trying to transform" she says a little embarrassed since a few moments before she met up with them, she just had her hand raised to the air trying to transform to no avail no matter how hard he tried.

"Umm well…..you sort of have to unlock it" Stella says a bit unsure since she doesn't quite remember what she had to do in order to unlock her Winx transformation.

"But how do I even know how to unlock it if I don't even know how to cast magic" Ben says a bit frustrated since what Stella said really didn't give any info, he would need in order to transform.

"That doesn't give me a lot to work with" she says quietly as she looks down at the bracelet and that does give her an idea…..why not forcibly unlock it by using the Ultimate function of the Omnitrix since she really hadn't gotten the chance to use it yet especially since Flora stopped her from using it yesterday against the Trix when he was Wildmutt

"Scratch that I got an idea" she says as her hand hovers over the bracelet but before she even gets a chance to slam down on the Omnitrix symbol in order to go Ultimate the bell suddenly rings surprising her before he sees everyone starting to get up.

"Ben c'mon we have classes now" Bloom says waiting for Ben to stand up so the two can go to classes together.

"Yeah, yeah I'm coming...I should've just played dumb last night so I didn't have to go to classes" he says though mumbling the last part as he follows Bloom as they join the rest before going off to classes.

Multiple hours later everyone was back in their apartments once classes for the day had concluded with both Bloom and Ben were pretty disheartened since neither of them had made any type of progress on their respective magics.

"No progress yet?" Ben who had reverted back into his regular human form asks Bloom who just sighs and looks away from the mirror she was looking at while shaking her head.

"What could we be doing wrong" he says sitting down next to her on the floor before he pulls up the Omnitrix and transforms back into his fairy form as the two then look in the mirror.

"We've tried everything, it's not like it's a green lantern ring ...or is it?" Ben says before closing her eyes and reaching her hand out as she begins concentrating imagining that she's using one of her alien's powers before suddenly her hand begins to morph turning green until it extends forward grabbing the mirror and Blooms hand leaving the two stunned for a second as Ben opens her eyes and then they look at each other.

"Success!" Ben says excitedly as she looks at her arm which the bottom half of had morphed into that of his Methanosian transformation Swampfire.

"I did it…..wait Bloom concentrate just try not to burn me" Ben says with a massive smile on his face as he retracts his arm and hand.

Bloom does what Ben told her to do as then her hand lights on fire and thankfully it doesn't do anything to her aside from just being coated by it.

"Yes, I did it!" Bloom says excitedly while looking at her fire coated hand before she looks at Ben while raising her hand.

"High five!" The two yell in unison but as soon as their hands meet Ben gets a split second of realization as flames and Methanosians don't mix if they're not created by them as a moment later a large explosion rocks the entire apartment.

The sound of running is heard moments later as the rest of the girls burst into the now ash covered room as coughing is heard from the two teens as they're mostly unhurt well except for Ben whose lower arm is steadily regenerating thanks to the Methanosian DNA in his arm after it was blown off by the explosion.

The two lock eyes before they look at the rest of the girls with Musa wondering just how in the hell those two idiots were alive before the two just start laughing their asses off like at just how funny their faces are, and they laugh for a long while.

'You know moments like this make me think' Ben thinks as he begins wiping away the tears from laughing so hard as he looks around him as the girls start trying to put the place back together 'that maybe those 16 long years of bad luck, bad relationships, and being hated by almost everyone I knew before coming here weren't all for nothing' He continues thinking as he reverts from his fairy form going straight to becoming Clockwork in order to fix it all as he reaches up grabbing the key on top of his head and beginning to turn it.

'Cause if I had to endure all of that just for these little moments between me, bloom and the others…' He thinks before letting go and the room begins being covered with green light as things begin being rewinded to how they were before as he looks to his side and sees Bloom smiling at him as he can't help but feel some of his internal gears begin heating up though he couldn't understand why 'I'd endure it all over again' He thinks before reverting to being human as he smiles back at all of them…..yes this was the place he belonged…..with people he could try call......friends.
