Things were going well at the fairy tail guild, well aside from Natsu constantly challenging Ben to fights. At the moment however the latter wasn't listening to Natsu.

Instead he was thinking of a certain red haired beauty he was about to go on a date with. "Hey come on Ben fight me" natsu kept yelling.

However Ben still didn't budge, he was deep in thought. Ben was still thinking of where to take Erza for their date, his head was full of concerns regarding his date with Erza tonight. He already had an idea at what to wear and where he was taking her, what concerned him the most was the possibility that Natsu or the others were gonna do something to turn it into a train wreck. And Erza wasn't any better, in fact she was in the same boat as Ben.

She not only was she worrying about her attire but like her new boyfriend, if things went well, she was worrying about their team showing up and side railing her first date. And speak of the devil, back with Ben Natsu had got him in the head.

"Well well looks like I finally got your atten...wah!!?" Natsu helped when Ben wrapped him in Snare-Oh's bandages and threw him to the other side of the guild. Then made sure he stayed there by tying him to a beam.

"Hey come on man let me down" the dragon slayer demanded. "Not happening Natsu, I have a very important thing tonight and I'm not going to let you ruin it" Ben said sternly.

The dragon slayer was puzzled to what he meant. Then spotted his rival, "hey Gray, mind helping me down?" He asked. "If I seen him out of there gray I promise you that you will be halfway down Upchuck's stomach" Ben threatened.

"I would comply with what he has done and he has threatened" Rook said. "Totally been down upchuck's gut before wasn't pretty" Kevin added.

Gray shivered and walked away from the pink haired dunderhead. "Hey come on, hey Lucy mind lending a hand?" Natsu asked.

"No way" she replied, "you heard Ben if I let you down he'll eat me" she said. "Come on I don't want to stay up here all night" the dragon slayer complained.

"If anyone needs me in gonna find Erza" Ben said which Natsu thought was a threat. "Never mind I love it up here" he said nervously laughing. "Not for that reason ya pyromaniac" Ben retorted.

He walked out of the guild and went straight home. Once he got home he immediately took a shower. 'Not gonna smell like a gym sock on my date' he thought. Once he was done Ben got dressed.

He sported a pair of brown slacks, a black jacket with green highlights. A green button up, black dress shoes, his hair combed neatly and the Omnitrix on his chest.

"And with a little help from gutrot a little cologne" he said spraying himself with an actually pleasant smelling fragrance. "I hope Erza likes this date" he said walking out. Meanwhile at Fairy Hills Erza finally settled on a good outfit to wear, a blue long sleeved sweater over a white dress shirt with a black and dark red skirt. Not too fancy yet not too casual, all at the same time she looked very pretty. "Hmm I rather like this" she admitted, "I really Hope Ben does though, I can't deny I feel a special connection between me and him. So I want to see how this date goes" she mused. Then spotted him from her window "he's here, I better head down".

He finally got to Fairy hills and waited for Erza outside. When she walked out she was wearing a and was in awe of the outfit she chose. She also wore red heels and her hair tied in a pony tail that she did on the way down. She also had a belt tied around her waist with a buckle that looked like the guild emblem.

"Evening Ben, ready?" She asked, the alien shapeshifter was speechless at her attire, he then shook his head and answered. "As ready as I'll ever be" he said hooking his arm around hers.

They walked down through magnolia and then stopped at a fancy restaurant. They walked through the doors. "Good evening, do you have a reservation" the man at the front desk asked.

"Yes for two Tennyson and Titania" Ben said. The manager then arrived and personally lead them to their table, "oh forgive me for not recognizing such famous wizards" he said.

The two sat out back next to a large pond filled with unique looking fish. They were given menus, "I hope this is to your liking" the manager said. "Judging from this view it already is" Ben said. Erza nodded in agreement with her date's statement.

They talked for a while, Ben had asked Erza about her interests. Erza replied with combat training and acting. Ben thought the acting was interesting. Erza asked what Ben's were, he replied with helping people and sumo slammers.

Erza was confused but Ben had explained that it was a franchise that involves large worriers fighting each other.

A little while later their food arrived, Ben had a large steak while Erza had a salad and a bowl of soup. As they ate both had an odd feeling that they were being watched.

"Hey Erza" Ben said after swallowing some food. "Yes Ben" she replied, "do you have an odd feeling we're being watched?" He asked.

"Thought you'd never ask" she said, "I've been getting that feeling since we started eating" she said.

Scene change: opposite side of the pond, four familiar figures were watching them. "Is it a date" the small figure asks. "Not sure" the spiky haired figure answered. "Does look like it though" the figure now naked said. "Yeah and... hey we're stalking them keep your clothes on" the last figure said.

Scene change: back to Ben and Erza.

The two had heard a tiny yell but shrugged it off and continued to eat. An hour later they had left thanking the manager for the night.

Ben then took Erza to a large clothes store. "What kind of date would I be if I didn't buy you anything?" He said coyly. "I'm really having fun now" Erza squealed as they entered.

The red head had tried on tons of outfits to show Ben, seeing which he liked best. Little to say he said all the outfits she tried on looked good. Well almost all, one looked kind of, inappropriate.

After exiting the store Ben then took Erza to the shore of the lake next to his house. They both enjoyed the view for a while. Until Erza took one of Ben's hands in her's.

"Hey Ben I just wanted you to know that I had a lot of fun tonight" she said facing him. "Thanks I was hoping you'd like it" he said taking Erza's other hand.

"Hey Ben" she said looking into his eyes. "Promise me you'll love me no matter what happens", Ben had a surprised face on. Which was then replaced by a warm smile.

"Don't worry, when it comes to you and me" he said bring her face to his. "I'll always love you" he said making the Titania blush.

They both leaned in for a kiss when a semi blue semi white light flashed near them. Ben turned his head to see a middle aged man on an orange shirt wearing a white lab coat and green goggles.

He then plopped a gum ball in his mouth. "Hello there young Benjamin" he said. "Professor paradox?" Ben said, "Ben you know him?" Erza asked. "Yeah he's a time traveler in my world able to travel into different time periods and even into different worlds" the shapeshifter explained.

Paradox just smiled, "indeed I am, however I'm here to tell Ben something very important" he said to the hero. "Ben, remember when you were sucked into that portal which brought you to this world?" He asked. Ben nodded.

"Well other than transporting you, it also split you into multiple you's" he said. Ben's eyes widened, "you mean I'm not even the real me?" Ben asked worriedly.

"Oh you most certainly are" paradox answered which calmed the hero. "You are all the original Ben, only divided into parts and then regenerated into full Ben's" he added on.

"So is that the same for the rest that got here?" Ben asked. "Indeed, however, not all of them made it in the same time zone, I originally revived more of your family, however they ended up in another point in time".

"So that means that my parents and grandpa Max are still out in this world somewhere and alive?" He asked. Paradox nodded, "I've already told the other you's, or going to tell them, time travel makes verb tense very confusing" paradox joked.

"Still when I did or went to tell them, compared to you they were surprisingly calmer than yourself, well almost one actually bit me but that was because he was in his Predator transformation, a new one you will gain in time".

Erza then whispered to the professor something, "so does Ben ever go back or does he stay here?" She asks. "Oh all the Ben's stay in their respected dimensions, they go back once but only for a short time, do not fret though, they all come back" he reassured the re-quip mage.

"Oh and also do be careful with Ben. He may have had relationships before but, well" he then whispers into her ear.

Whatever he said made Erza blush, then her eyes flashed as Paradox had somehow showed her some of the feelings she has from the near future. "Anyways off I go" he said teleporting away, "well at least I know that I am the real me, and not just a copy" Ben said.

Erza then gently grabbed his hand, "real or not, you have been the kindest, loyal and most determined man I have had the pleasure to meet for the last few months. And for that I am glad to feel this way" she said to him making the him blush. "Y-you do?" He asked, "yes, you truly had shown me a great night Ben, and I am proud to call you my boyfriend" Ben Smiles "same, I'm glad to have met you Erza, my armored goddess" he said, then his eyes flashed as well, feeling how the future would be like, "and as I said, whether you are the original article or a cloned, I'll still love you Ben Tennyson" she said. Ben smiled and pulled her into a kiss, "thanks Erza" he said before hugging her.

They later on went to his front yard, Erza cuddling on Ben's arm, however the shapeshifter was met with a very unpleasant surprise.

When they opened the door, Natsu, Grey and Happy were all sitting in his living room. Lucy on the other hand was tied up with her mouth gagged and a piece of paper with "I tried to stop them and this is what I got" written in it.

Ben was dumbfounded and very angry at what he saw, "WHAT ARE ALL OF YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE, LUCY WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?" he yelled with Echo Echo's power.

"Oh hey Ben, had ear plugs on this time" Natsu said grinning taking said plugs out. "As to why we're here we realized that we didn't know where your home was, so we forced Lucy to tag along with us in order to find it" Grey said.

"She originally thought we were stalking you to find out if you were on a date or not, then after getting the hint that we were searching for your home she attempted to stop us but failed" happy said.

The blonde regained consciousness, and begged Ben to untie her. The latter did as complied and released her, "RAAHH COME HERE YOU TWO IM GONNA KICK YOUR BUTTS FOR WHAT YOU DID!" She roared.

"And I'll hold em down for you" Ben said sinisterly. Erza then nodded in agreement and a three on three fight started. Little to say the pink wonder, ice stripper and cat ultimately lost.

"Oh and Ben, we were going to tell you that Loki, who turned out to be the celestial spirit Leo the lion, managed to get us tickets to the Akane resort" Lucy said. Both Ben's and Erza's eyes widened.

"Oh what joy" the red head squealed. "As for Loke being Leo?" Ben asked, "I'll tell you later" Lucy said. After a long explanation, the three still unconscious, Ben and Erza admitted that they were dating.

"OMG, Mira and I were totally right, you two are so into each other" Lucy squealed. "Tell anyone and you'll be seeing the sharp end of my sword" Erza threatened. "And Rath's well ,Wrath" Ben added.

The blonde mage then flinched and swore not to tell any one. They left later on, Lucy had to drag the two Dunderheads by their shirt collars, and Happy by his knapsack. "We'll see you tomorrow before we leave" Lucy called.

"Well today was sure eventful" Ben said, "although now that I remember I told the girls back at Fairy hills not to expect me back, until morning" Erza said.

"Uh why?" Ben asked, Erza shot her boyfriend a smirk. He flinched and attempted to run to the nearest room. Only to be caught in the scarlet haired mage's hand and dragged to his bedroom.

"Uh Erza we should be doing this now?" Ben said shakily. "Didn't we only start dating". "I have a feeling someone's gonna go through a new experience" she said.

The next day both Erza and Ben arrived at the train station. Lucy, who was waiting there waved at them. "Hey guys, good to see you're here, what took you?" She said.

Ben, who looked a little in pain, said "don't, just please don't ask, your asking for the answer to a question you don't want the answer for" he said.

"A little event happened and now Ben has a slight pain, oh the train's here let's get moving" Erza said. They all piled into the train, Natsu immediately got hit with motion sickness.

Lucy was thinking about what Erza had said, "what did she mean by a little event... wait... she... she couldn't have done... that could she?" Lucy thought staring at her red haired and brunette friends.

Erza caught sight of Lucy and Winked. Lucy then paled at the realization. "Oh god!!!" She screamed inwardly.

(A/N: I know what you're thinking don't even go there, the reason why I even put the thought of it in was because I wanted some way that Erza could show Ben she'd be with him forever. And to also get other audiences interested, like any of you have any room to judge. Just be lucky that I didn't actually write it down, just having putting in here made me want to vomit. Don't judge I'm a morally sound person.)
