A New Evolution, Part 1

(The evil villain Maltruant was defeated by Ben Tennyson and Rook Blonko, and his components were scattered across time. After that, Skurd stayed with his ancestors while Ben was forever on his mission of seeding life across creation. Amazed about the very universe that he and Rook watched being created, Ben decided to explore the universe they watched being created, and Rook agreed with his statement. With that said, Ben called his cousin Gwen Tennyson on his cellphone and told her that they, Rook and Kevin Levin were going on a road trip. And now, deep into outer space, Ben and his friends were travelling on their green spaceship, the Rust Bucket 3, to experience the universe that Ben and Rook watched being forged.)

Ben's voice: Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Rust Bucket 3. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no hero has gone before.

Gwen's voice: Dramatic much, Ben?

(We go inside the spaceship to see Ben Tennyson with his cousin Gwen Tennyson and his friends, Kevin Levin and Rook Blonko.)

Ben: Hey, I was only trying to fit the mood here, Gwen.

Kevin: This is a road trip, not that one sci-fi show, Ben.

Ben: Come on, Kevin, gimme a chance.

Rook: You two settle down. We're on vacation.

Kevin: (smiles) You're right, Rook. How could I be arguing with a real cool buddy after he fixed some things in the past from a previous universe? Especially my green car!

Ben: (nods in agreement) You got that right, buddy. I miss riding it with you.

Kevin: (grins) And now I'm a real lucky man, because I have TWO cars!

Ben: You sure are lucky!

Gwen: (smiles, as she tossed her long red hair) Now that you mention it, I do miss having my old long hair. I gotta admit, my last appearance made me look a little too much like a nerd."

Ben: And a dweeb, no offense.

Gwen: (waves it off) None taken, I assure you. In fact, suddenly, being called Gwen at college doesn't sound embarrassing at all.

Kevin: Even so, we're glad to have everything we used to have in the past back.

Ben: (sighs sadly) Almost everything...

Rook: (confused) What do you mean, Ben?

Gwen: (feeling sympathetic) I know. Julie.

Rook: (realizes) Oh, yeah, that's right. You and her broke up, all over a misunderstanding.

Kevin: (frowns) Well, if you ask me, that reason was stupid. I mean, dissing Mr. Smoothy like that while leaving with that French pretty boy? Honestly! And Ester ending her relationship with you for that buffed-up buffoon Antonio? That's stupid, too!

Ben: Yeah, but I don't think I'll be with either of those two anymore. I'm better off with Kai...

Gwen: You say you're better off with Kai, yet you sound like you're not feeling love with her.

Ben: That's the point, Gwen. I'm not feeling her.

Rook: Well, I can assure you, Ben, this vacation may be just the thing you need to get your mind off your troubles.

Ben: I sure hope you're right, Rook.
